Google one of the most leading companies in the world , the legal owner of android has recently launched there camera app . This is one the best camera app launched till now , most probably most of you have heard of some other camera apps like Lomo Camera , Paper Camera and so on . The main reason behind this app is that this app only works on devices having android 4.4 and up that is Kitkat . I have recently tried to mode it to android 4.0 and above and I even got successful but after some attempts in my phone it shows an error saying " Google Camera Force Closed " .

How To Unlock / Reset Your Android Pattern Lock


Hey everyone today we are going to discuss about a very common mistake made by us while using our android devices that is " Pattern Lock Blocked " or you can say forgetting the pattern lock password . So this guide is going to show you the easiest method to unlock your device ; here I am going to give a small description what the guide is all about 



Case 1 :- If you have synced your android device with Google Account then you don't need to worry even a bit because you have to simply enter your Google Account password and username and you can easily unlock your device . 




Case 2 :- If you hadn't synced your android device with Google Account and you have forgotten the password then follow the below guide based on unlocking of pattern lock regarding to case 2 .

Steps :-

1) Switch off your device .

2) Now the second and the main step , you need to press " Power Button " " Volume Up " " Home Key " simultaneously  until the phone boots ( In some of the case some devices doesn't have home button in that case press the other 2 buttons mentioned )

3) Now a screen like DOS will come up with different options

4) In the recovery mode we cannot touch the options as we do while using touchscreen phones . So to navigate through the recovery mode we need to use Volume Up to move " up " and Volume down to move " down " and to select the option we need to press the power button . Android Logo will be displayed like this :-



5) Select “Restore Factory Defaults” or “Delete all User Data” depending on which is on your device. ( Note that by selecting this option all your data stored on your internal and phone memory would be deleted ) 



6) After the phone completes the Factory Reset , select “Reboot System Now ” and wait for your phone to reboot. 

Now you will find your phone same as you have seen it in first boot .
