Q. friend of mine forgot her pass pattern. and I've watched several videos on how to unlock the same pattern program but w/ iphones and they have a way you can use your google acc. to unlock it. however this phone doesn't give an option to unlock w/ a google acc. help! XD
A. On Android phones you can activate a feature called pattern lock. This feature can be compared to a Windows computer asking for password after the screen saver kicked in, only instead of a password you use a pattern. You get a screen with 9 dots and you draw a pattern of your choice with 4 of them. If you forget your pattern (or have kids that likes to play with phones) you will after 3 faulty attempts be unable to use the pattern to unlock it. Instead you are asked for your Google account and password (that is setup with the phone of course). This is where the problem starts.
For many, many users providing the username and password won�t change a thing. For some people changing the password via a computer has worked but that is uncommon. Most people ends up with a very expensive paperweight. Have no fear, there are solutions to almost everything!
Update
Some workarounds to try before reading ahead:
1. try entering null as password. (together with your google username)
2. try entering your username without @gmail.com
3. Combine 1 and 2
4. Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock
5. Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.
6. Try the normal recover password routine from GMail.com and start over from 1.
7. Perform a factory reset. YOU WILL LOOSE all not-synced DATA (SD card will be left untouched).
1-6 are possible workarounds, these doesn�t work for everyone but can be worth a try to avoid factory reset. 6. is what should work but hardly never does. 7 � The factory reset always work

why are all the android phones copies of the Iphone?
Q. Please don't get all harsh, I know that android was in production at the same time as OS for the iphone but can we think about it. Look at all the new phones... they all look like the Iphone, and the app pages look exactly the same. But they just can't get the touch screen to be any good... and it seems that google has been copying everything lately.. making a computer os that looks about the same as OSX, the Google TV, I mean for God sake they even called it the same thing.... when apple clearly had the apple TV, and when the Iphone OS came out, as did Android... just saying.. why isn't apple suing?
A. All android phones don't look like iphones. I have a Droid X. It has a 4.3" display that makes an iphone look like a wristwatch.
The HTC Evo and a lot of the others do. I will give you that. But, what are android phones supposed to be? Triangle shaped? A phone is basically a phone.
As for operating systems, the basic difference is Apple treats theirs as if you need a security clearance to customize, or write an app for it. That's not even to mention refusing to "allow" Adobe Flash, or Java on their browser, or refusing to allow iphone users to do simple things like download YouTube videos to their phone memory.
When it comes down to it, you don't "own" an iphone, you use it. You own an android phone and you can upgrade memory and battery, enter text on your touchscreen with Swype, download 3rd party music, and on and on.
Iphones are nice. Just not something I'd spend money on.
