I downloaded this anti-theft onto my new N8. My screen froze a few days ago and my brother removed my sim card & memory card from it. Thereafter it asks for a mobile security code (which does not seem to work) and the help option states code will be sent to my trusted #??
ReplyDeleteAfter several attempts, it notes my code will unblock in 5min, but nothing happens. I regret having this on my phone. Help, I need to use my phone & cant afford to send it to Nokia for reset.
