Locked S7, but I'm almost there...

[fable727]

Where did you get this S7?

Originally came from us cellular but it was my mothers first

 

[fable727]

Yes it probably won't allow sim for mobile data

All I need now I suppose is a live SIM card. Is there a company where I can get a super cheap one? I will need hardly any data to use find my phone

My iPhone 15 doesn’t have a sim tray

Yeah definitely doesn't

The only issue might have to prompt once installed to activate it which u can't get into the device, try a friends , family member sim if u can

I have an s9 can I activate it on that phone and tracer to the s7? Both are us cellular and I can get a prepaid us cellular sim at my local Walmart. Does my plan seem sound?

Yeah try that

 

[fable727]

Yeah try that

Damn so they literally removed the unlock feature last month and my dumbass accidentally pressed extend battery so now I can’t try the ok google strat. Is there a way to force battery saver off? I’m hoping when the phone dies it’ll shut off but that won’t be for about 100hours according to smart things.

 

[fable727]

Yeah try that

Also happy 7 years on this site lol

You can't power off the device?

Thanks , time flies

I know a workaround to shut down but the problem is either I need to turn maximum battery saving off (to attempt ok google exploit) or Samsung needs to reinstate remote unlocking

no easy way

If the phone dies will it work? It’s around %20 last I checked

We will find out

 

[fable727]

We will find out

Still on maximum power saving. I hate myself so much for pressing that damn button.

 

[belodion]

Are you saying that you need the PIN to get into the phone, but have forgotten it or don’t know it? Is that where the problem started?

We are running out of options

I am having a similar dilemna. I have a Note 8, in airplane mode, wifi turned off, and I am visiting Mexico. I lost the phone out of my back pocket while riding bicycles. So say again how you called 911? when you didnt have access to your phone? This is something I will need to try
