Default Locked Out

Hi!

I need help bypassing the pattern Lock!

Short story:

ordert the phone from amazon. didn't arrive in time. one day after estimated delivery date the parcel lies opend in front of the door. phone with inserted battery is still in it. all the stuff like charging or earphones is missing.

went to police and so on. for the fun of it i started the phone to look if the thief maybe made some photos or sent some messages before "returning" it. problem: he enabled a pattern lock. now i see no possibility to look if he/she maybe did something stupid like writing a message or taking a photo. i want to get that stupid kid (has to be a neighbor) ...

so maybe someone can answer here or write a pm ...

i DO NOT want to do a factory reset. i want to get to the last calls and messages!!!

thx in advance and excuse my bad english

Strange story. I would contact the post office or company that delivered the phone. Not sure what country your from but in my country it's not legal for postal service to just leave a parcel at the doorstep.

alreday went to the post office and the police. amazon didn't send t as a real parcel, more like a letter, therefore it wasnt insured. the posal service didn't leave it in front of the door. it was stolen out of a mailbag and then, a day later, returned to us ... we don't understand it ... we hope amazon will send us a new one, but i want to find out who did that!!!

Strange story indeed. I think he just wants to find out if his GF is cheating on him

my thoughts exactly - why should there even have been a sim card in the phone when it's sent from amazon

Who steal packages from the mailbag, take out the cheap stuff and deliver the most expensive piece to the recipient a day later?

I call BS.

our only explanation:
neighbor kid stole it, parents found out, kid 'gave it back' or kid got scared ... no idea ...
it all just sucks ... i would wish to find out who was it to understand that stupid person ...

Sounds to me more like you 'found' someone else's phone and are trying to get into it. But giving you the benefit of the doubt ...

Hold the screen at an angle to a light source and look for a greasy finger streak where the lock pattern has been sketched.

if i would have found it, i think i would have had better stories

tried some of the bypasses i found on the web, seems that most of the security holes are fixed (gj samsung )

Amazon already answered that they send a new one.

Only reason why i want into it, is to find hints who stole it in the first place.

If i would have "found" it i would just make a hard reset.
