After you factory reset it you must use a previous Google account that was synced to it to go further otherwise you're stuck. Tell me there's an easy way to bypass this.

The dumbest thing is it dumbing down iPhone videos that are sent to you.

Any way to fix this?

I don't have an iPhone so I can't confirm anything with it.

Yea, use iPhone or iPad for iMessages. Otherwise, no, since Apple is not interested in RTS.

All phones offer something like this, it's called an activation lock and you should be able to disable it before factory resetting.

Are you talking about videos sent by text? MMS, the standard for sending pictures and videos by text, is hot garbage by today's standards and requires massive compression of videos to send

Wait so the factory reset doesn't actually reset it to the way it was leaving the factory?

What's rts? Its stupid cause the videos are practically unviewable because of how much it lowers the quality. The android has a great camera too

The Android update process is maximum stupid too

  1. Check your phone and see that there's an update and it's so important you can't interact with with your phone at all until you schedule it. Set for 2 AM when you'll be asleep anyways.
  2. Get woken up by your phone loudly playing its startup sound. Recall that you scheduled that update
  3. Unlock your phone in the morning and you can't interact with it again because the update still has 20 minutes of work left to do after you unlock it

The tablet froze and would not boot up correctly. I had to factory reset it to fix it. I could not get into any of the settings. This is bullshit.

Nope.

Why don't you know the login credentials for your tablet?

Have your iPhone using friends and family send videos to you through Facebook Messenger

You'll have to take it to the carrier. This is done to stop stolen phones from being resold.

Unless things have changed since I worked in the carrier industry, they can't help. It would defeat the purpose of an effective deterrent if you could just sidestep the activation lock.

If you take it to the carrier they would be able to determine if your device was stolen or not. If it's legitimate they can get you back in.

I think even iMessage compresses after a certain point.

What I do is upload my media to the cloud and share that link to whomever I want. That way, they're guaranteed to receive the original quality. I'll still occasionally send pics through text, but only for stuff I don't really care about.
