I have heard people say that ringing the phone and answering it will let you in long enough to disable the lockscreen. You may have to keep the phone call going whilst you do this, as it may kick you out again when the call ends.

Also, on the off chance that you remember the email but not the password, often typing the password as null works.

Also, you could always hunt down your relatives via other means, such as the phone book/directory enquiries (whatever the American equivalent is)/the internet/etc if you know enough details about them.

Your Solution: Try to log in to your Google account using a computer. In the login screen, it will give you options to recover or change your password or your username if you forgot them. After you recover your username or change your password, use the new login details to log in to your gmail account in your phone.

I think this is a bug in the Ymessenger app, I had th esame problem, it was very annoying. I changed to CM6 and now I don't have that problem.

My touch screen isn't working does anyone know how to calibrate? I have the m860


There are various apps to check the touchscreen for performance.
However,I don't believe there is much,if anything,you can do to actually re-calibrate or improve the accuracy of the touchscreen responsiveness.
If it's way off & out of whack,I'd take it back to the point of purchase & ask for assistance in getting a replacement/manufacturer warranty service.

is it safe to download?

I think you misunderstood nuttmeg. The digitizer in your phone is a piece of hardware rather than software.

I've heard of people who have broken their screens and have had to replace the digitizer themselves. However, if the digitizer is the problem for you (I don't know if it is or isn't), then it would be best to send it for repair under warranty as it should be free.
