Guest Zusan Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Hi, Iam using a samsung omnia 2 (i8000) with windows mobile 6.5. I switched on the built-in screen- and device-lock from windows mobile in "windows - default"-mode (not "windows - classic"). I have the lock set to switch on after 1 min of idle-time, which also means I have to enter the pin after powering on the phone. Because of this setting I have to enter my pin about 5-10 times a day, which means Iam absolutely sure that I KNOW my pin. On 28th of november it was the first time that the phone said that the entered pin is invalid after I powered it on. I tried my pin and some similar and standard pins (e.g. 0000, 1234, etc.), but with no success. And I had to give up on the point where I had to wait about 30 mins before I was allowed to try again. ;) So I had to hard-reset the phone to get it working again. I thought (and hoped) that this would be one time experience. But today I had the same problem again. And I had to hard-reset the phone again. This is not such a big problem as I only have to reinstall and configure my software again, but there was no loss of data or something. So it costed my just half an hour or so, but I really have a very strange feeling about that. - As Iam using a numeric 5-digit-pin Iam sure I have no hazzle with caps-lock ;) - Iam not using any pirate-copies or other "dangerous" software - and, yes, it is my phone I bought it and it is not stolen or something like that ;) As I think this is a wm-issue and not a omnia- or samsung-issue Iam posting this thing here. Is there anyone having any idea what I problem I have here? I mean, I cant believe that my pin changes by itself. Thats impossible. What the heck is going on here? I really, really appreciate any help in the investigation of this problem. Believe me, I know this sounds really weird and like a noob using a high-tech device, but Iam using wm since version 5 and for about 3 years now. So I think I somehow know what Iam doing. At least I thought so. Zusan Edited December 9, 2009 by Zusan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alshandron Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi, I also had this issue. My HD2 was not accepting my pin in the lock screen. Though, I was able to get it working after I took the battery out and therefore rebooted the phone. It hasn't locked up like that since that one time. It seems that Windows Mobile needs a reboot every week to keep it running, just like the desktop versions. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zusan Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I switch off, and therefore reboot, my phone usually every day. And I also tried to remove the battery when the problem occured, but it didnt help. So I think in your case this may have been something different maybe.

Guest seacoral123 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 i encounter once but got to hard reset the wm. Because each wrong entry prolong the try time and the last default is 17 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
