How to Bypass the Activation Screen

[shad0wdawg]

For those who want to bypass the activation screen, surprisingly it's the same method used on the droid 2.
The method on bypassing the activation screen is

1. On the Welcome screen with the touch the android to begin icon, do the following:

2. Tap the top left corner of the screen then

3. Tap the top right corner of the screen then

4. Tap the bottom right corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it) then

5. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it).

6. That’s it, should pop up the home screen shortly, if not retry. Remember not to drag your finger, simple tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.

This applies to many phones

Oooorrrrrr, you can tap the corners in a clockwise fashion starting at the top left.

Saves a lot of reading, no offense to the OP.

haha, it's my first droid phone. I've been using iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4, Samsung Vibrant, Captivate and Samsung Infuse so it's the first time I saw it and thought it'd be nice to share considering I didn't know that it'd be on many devices, kinda thought it was like a glitch

So, any ideas if the process com.motorola.setup keeps force closing? tapping the corners dismisses the activation screen, but continues on to the account setup and promptly crashes. I finally gave up and took it into the Verizon Store and they said it would need replaced, but I have to call an 800#, so I am looking at a day or 2 with no phone and I am currently trying to charge/activate an old phone since I can't even bypass the activation on my D3... I honestly am not very pleased with this device. I wanted so much to like it, but its like they just threw it together and then promptly forgot it existed...
