    iPhone SE (ist gen) "iPhone Locked to Owner"

    Yes, I think it's understood that 'what you see is what you get'; besides there's a no return policy on electronics. But it's not a big deal, I only pain $10 for it, so, you win some and lose some. I've been trying to jailbreak it with Palera1n and Checka1n, but so far have not succeeded...

    Bluetooth primer?

    Hi all, I'm loathe to admit it, but I have very little idea as regards to how Bluetooth might be useful to me, especially wrt my cell phone (Rebel 4, with no phone plan), which I mainly use for photos and light surfing. If anyone would be kind enough to provide me with a basic primer, I...

    iPhone SE (ist gen) "iPhone Locked to Owner"

    Oh ..... I didn't know that. I've factory reset a couple of androids (i.e. my current Rebel 4 tracfone) and they worked perfectly well afterwards, without knowing the owner's name and passcode. What am I missing? .......john

    Hi Hadron, I did restore it, but apparently its connected to Apple icloud, and I have to have account there, for this particular device, in order to fully restore it's functionality. It's an extra layer of security. ....... john

    iPhone SE (ist gen) "iPhone Locked to Owner"

    Hi all, I bought this at a used items store. I thought that restoring to the factory settings would allow me to use it, but apparently not; it appears that it's locked to the owner via the iCloud. I' Also, we have a couple of iPads here, and I'm wondering if we could somehow use these accounts...

    Evaluating Galaxy S3 without battery +

    Hi all, I'm afraid that I may not have told you ( and I appologize for that) but I cut up an SD cable and connected the two power lines to the power contacts that a battery would touch to fire up this baby, and it worked. (There's a video online describing how to do it; it's quite simple...

    Evaluating Galaxy S3 without battery +

    Hi, OK, it sounds like I'm screwed. This, as you all know, is a dinosaur, cell phone wise; and I'm NOT putting any money into it, other than a very cheap battery, assuming I can find one; and I have no idea where to find "an old, deactivated AT&T SIM card"; so it looks like the end of the...

    Evaluating Galaxy S3 without battery +

    Hi Nick, I did another reset and wiped the cache, then installed an old SIM card I have here (from where, I don't remember). Now it says that I have installed an unregistered SIM card. After that I get a black screen, with the charge level icon, which of course is 100%, since I'm running...
