Unlock phone for non-owners

0 Likes

Hello,

I'm a student that interested in repairing old phones and computers.

Lately, I found a #Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit# and I found it very annoying that I cannot use it since there is the 'Google account verification' when I boot the phone. I think that it's a pity that  if I won't be able to overcome the verification I will have to throw it away; so I thought that instead of blocking the phone completely for the new owner, there could be the feature of contacting the previous owner (through the email that is used in the Google account verification) using your own email and asking him if you may reset the phone to 'factory settings'. So, in the case that he or she accept the request you may be able to use the phone again.

This action will consent to have less phone waste and will help us reach a more sustainable way of life.
