I have my galaxy set for a pin to get into the phone. This morning it's asking for a series of directions to unlock. I never had it set to that. It is asking for the same to turn it off.

SOURCE: locked keypad

Try the last four digits of your phone's number, then 0000, 1234, etc...
Did you reset the PIN yourself, or is it the default PIN? If you didn't change it yourself the above mentioned will probably unlock it, if not, you may have to take it into a service providers Corporate location and have a Tech. unlock it.
Good luck.

SOURCE: samsung galaxy android unlock..cannot unlock my

Hi, I have a couple of idea for you to try.
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone

2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as , [email protected]. Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed as [email protected]

3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page (like [email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.

TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.

or theres this one:
Take out the battery, the sim card, and the SD card leave the phone for 2 to 3 hours like that.. Put everything back in and boot up the phone.. This should work.
You could try this instead of waiting 3 hours, just remove battery and press power on switch for 20 seconds but this may not work.

or if you've tried everything, the only other way would be to take it to a Samsung mobile phone shop.
or do a factory reset:
THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA THOUGH
Go into recovery mode - vol up & home & power. Once in the menu, select factory reset.It may take you a couple of attempts to get to the recovery mode but it does work, just keep trying.

Regards
Mike

SOURCE: apn settings

I have a S4, not sure if its the same but here's what i do to get to APN settings:
First go to settings and tap on the connections tab at the top of the screen. Then tap on "More networks" under the "network connections" subsection. Once there you should see a button for "mobile networks". tap on it and it should bring you to another screen with a button called "Access Point Names (AKA APN). Tap on that and you're there!
Like I said, this is for a Galaxy S4 but I think it would be a similar if not identical procedure for the S3. Hope this helps :)

I used the code #*7337# to unlock my samsung J700 and it did unlock but has changed my imei number to 000000000000 is there a way to get my old number back or reset it??? ron

That's not an unlock code my friend, it just part of instruction set to unlock samsung phone. You must have samsung J700 network unlock code and you can get that from your network provider or buy from third party sites. But don't ever try free samsung unlock code since almost of them is just fake unlock code.

I bought one SAMSUNg SGH-J700i. When I am trying to poweron the phone it asks for Phone lock password which is 1234 and opened but immediatly it asks for SIM loack password. But I am not awrae of any SIM...

If u enter PIN code incorrectly 3 times, PIN will be blocked n phone will ask you for PUK(Personal Unblocking Key). This is a 8 digit code. If u enter Incorrect PUK for 10 times Your SIM will be lock permanently.

Your cell phone service provider can(Call from other no. n ask tell them for puk of ur no.) give you the PUK code aft3r answering simple security question.
Later enter PUK than enter new PIN, confirm new pin. Go to -Setting
-Security
-SIM lock
-off
Disable SIM n Later Phone Lock
PS:(You have to block your PIN to get access to PUK,
Default PIN- 0000, 12345)

Forgot my phone lock pin

Lost Pin cannot be recovered. You need to enter a wrong pin 3 times until you get the PUK code.

PUK means "personal unlocking key" .

The PUK code is asked if you enter a wrong pin 3 times.

You need to call the phone company that released the SIM card, they can retrieve the PUK code from a database for free.

In your case you need to contact your SIM card provider technical support to unlock the SIM.

The PIN and PUK are related to the SIM card, not to the phone.

If you replace the SIM card with a different one, then the phone will not ask for the PUK anymore.
