WanderingWalker21 1 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Antitheft repeatedly locks my device about every 3-5 minutes triggered by a supposed SIM card removal. Each time I unlock it it asks to trust the SIM card again and re odds a different SIM card number. I am befuddled and had to disable it. I've had my device stolen and recovered twice using these features so I don't want to just leave them off. Please help. jmexmt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,355 Posted April 23 Administrators Share Posted April 23 Did you enable SIM matching in the Anti-Theft setup? If so, couldn't it be that you deleted "Eset*" contact(s) from the SIM card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexmt 0 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I have same issue, just had to disable the anti-theft entirely. It would change the last four digits of the SIM card ID. None of them were the correct ICCID that I can find in settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrt 0 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I've been experiencing the same issue for a couple of months now. Pretty frustrating when during a hike ESET mobile choses to lock the mobile where I store maps (glad I always bring paper maps as backup!).

Administrators Marcos 4,355 Posted May 10 Administrators Share Posted May 10 Couldn't it be that you deleted Eset* contacts from the SIM card before the issue started? If not, you could open a support ticket via the built-in form if you managed to unlock the phone then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was switching over from Avast Pro to ESET and sadly I was greeted with this issue upon enabling it. It locks. I unlock. It says sim changed and asks if I trust the new one. Currently. I have 8 different numbers in there in just a few hours and just as I typed that it locked me out again. Sadly, I was leaving Avast because they are doing away with anti-theft. If ESET doesn't work it looks like I'll just create a task to do it and will go with Bitdefender or Malwarebytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have found out than on certain devices an update of Android caused the SIM matching feature to malfunction. In such case we recommend temporarily disabling the SIM matching feature and re-enable it after we release ESET Mobile Security v7.4 which will have the feature reworked.
