Question
PIN OR RESET
I BOUGHT THIS PHONE USED ON EBAY, TO LAST ME TIL IT WAS TIME TO GET A NEW PHONE SINCE MY FAIRLY NEW, EXPENSIVE SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE POOPED OUT ON ME- THE CHARGE PORT JUST QUIT TAKING A CHARGE AND I REALLY COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT ALL REPLACED. ANYHOW, WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PHONE I WAS UNAWARE IT WAS PASSWORD LOCKED. THE PEOPLE THAT SOLD IT SAID THEIR CHILD USED IT LONG AGO AND NOW DO NOT REMEMBER THE PASSCODE/PIN. SINCE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN USING ANY OF THE DATA STORED IN THE PHONE IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A HARD RESET WITHOUT THE PIN? I KNOW SOME OTHER SAMSUNG PHONES YOU CAN JUST PRESS A SERIES OF SOFT KEYS ON THE BODY OF THE PHONE. IS THIS POSSIBLE? THANKS.

Hi ksimonsrn,

Question
My phone was stolen so how should I report it?
I don't have the serial number, so I don't know how to report it to the police, or if they even deal with stolen cell phones. I also need to know what else I should do besides report it to AT&T.

Hello and thanks for reaching out!
So sorry you are experiencing this issue! Have you tried a soft reset by pulling the battery out for about 2 minutes? Also make sure you have not added any recent applications/files that may be to blame. Try removing these apps/files and clearing the cache. If that does not work, try a factor/hard reset AFTER backing up your personal data first. Factory reset: http://bit.ly/KzplMQ
If you need additional assistance please contact us again. You can also reach out to us via twitter or facebook for quicker responses.

Question
My sgh-a817 will turn itself off periodically
Even after soft resets and a master reset this issue still continues to occur. Does this require a replacement to fix or will a new sim card affect the same result?
