I'm from Canada and it worked fine for me. Mind you I created an amazon profile years ago and I'm not really sure what my shipping address is...
[HTC Inspire 4G] m1ke420:
I am not sure if this was an issue with before i was rooted or not because I didn't have it long before i rooted it. But when i try to place a call it doesn't go through and have to retry repeatedly and sometimes have to reboot and that usually doesnt help. I also miss calls and sometimes am not able to send a text.

Does this sound like a phone issue or a network issue?

I am using D!!la rom with the latest stable radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slocav:
I bet network. Does it say network busy when trying to call out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] m1ke420:
No it just beeps and disconnects.
[HTC Inspire 4G] m1ke420:
I just reflashed the stock radio and seems to be working better now. Will post back if not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Usually a reboot fixes that. It happened to me and rebooting fixed it.

I am looking for input from people who have used the apps out there. I have read a lot and see the articles, etc but I am looking for some real world experience.

I want an app that cannot be disabled, wiped, or the removal of the sim would impact. Anyone know what is best?

There's a Themes and Apps subforum for this.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] sixstringsg:
No matter what if you take the sim out it wont work because there would be no way of relaying the location of the phone without the service the sim card provides.

Sent from my CM7 powered captivate
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Seems to me that if the phone can still access the network without a SIM card to make a 911 call, it should be able to allow an app access to report itself stolen or be located.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xphire:
Seems another reason not to use a phone crippled and limited by a sim card.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fortune090:
False. Some of the stolen phone apps will actually work just because of that fact. The phone detects the SIM was changed, so it sends out its location. However, I'm not sure how it'd work if they just took the SIM out for good. But that's just not really probable. Most people steal phones to either use them themselves or to sell them to people who end up using them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Klyentel:
Try Theft Aware, very good app, can't be detected, nor disabled, and reports location even after sim removal.

Overall, the best protection is insurance. Cover your assets. If it's lost/stolen suspend the service, file a claim, get another. Just had to do so myself, mine was took out of my pocket while I was in a fight at the club.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] studacris:
How the hell did someone get in your pocket during a fight?? Play some defense man! Jk :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeshmoe08:
Try droid seek it is very good. It costs $1 but its worth it. It says that it works without sim card (entirely) but I have never tried it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Klyentel:
Lol, I got jumped. Started off one on one, I beat his ass, his boys jumped in, snatched my phone before security pulled them off, yup....unfortunately cowards run in packs
[Captivate Themes and Apps] WernerW:
since we sell it I really recommend taking a look at theft aware. It's definitely the only product in the market that survives a factory reset (if installed with root privileges), works with other simcards (many competitors do that too)

and - theft aware will soon offer a web remote interface where it also works without simcard (if a wireless lan is available)

here are two coupon codes offering a 40% discount on theft aware. be quick. each one only works once.

after a gruely 5-6 days ive got my phone perfectly the way i like it and everyone knows thats when something happens to it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrispche:
Is there a way of plugging in my 1TB ext drive into my HTC Desire directly? I would assume sort of USB adapter is required.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaskell:
It should be possible though I highly doubt it would work by default

USB flash drives don't usually work because they require power

but more external HDD's have their own power source

I could be wrong, but I would think that a hard drive could be treated roughly the same as a flash drive. I know that it is entirely possible to get flash drives to work with android if the hardware supports it, so an external hdd should be possible. I would not know how to go about implementing that functionality though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrispche:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm not getting much luck in finding out how to use my HDD directly with my desire.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaceentity:
I just bought a new gtablet thats running the stock 3588 software. All seems to be fine except when I surf the web. While doing so, most of the time the gtablet will switch back to the home screen resulting with me having to go back to the web again, it does the same thing using a different browser also.

I really don't want to try one of the different mods yet, but if that is what it takes, I might have to.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Sounds like there could be some sort of app interaction/interference going on. You may have something running in the background that is doing it. Its a place to start. Have you installed flash?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcampbe7:
May sound silly, but are you inadvertantly hitting the "Home" button while swiping?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Glad you said it, lol! Actually that was my first thought but didn't want so sound rude :) I remember getting used to the sensitivity of the buttons when I got my tab. That was the reason I ended up using button remapper and button saver. The button remapper let me map the soft buttons to be up, down, left, right. It helps a lot when surfing the net, I no longer have to zoom in to select a link. Button saver makes a small on-screen tab that when pressed brings up search, home, menu and back buttons on the screen. It works awesome and I have not accidentally hit the home button in the middle of doing anything since setting this up. This is also a great setup for night use.

--rant--
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L00pback:
This was happening to me too. I got my gtablet 2 weeks ago and got the update (it was unusable until the update) and it seemed a lot more stable. However, when I surfed the web after a while it dropped back to the home page. Ended up flashing to TNT 5 and its been totally stable ever since (I was nervous about doing it as I'm a noob at all this but it was painless if you follow instructions).

I was wondering if it had something to do with the content of the page (flash or something) but decided to just go with the much better ROM. Not looked back since.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaceentity:
It continues to do it even if I have it laying flat on a table and making sure that I don't hit any of the side buttons.

Yes, I do have "Flash" installed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joekak:
Probably the Flash 10.1 causing this... Get 10.2. If you don't have access to the android market you can also get it from freewarelovers
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Hi,

Is this using the default browser? That (crashing to homescreen) was a fairly common problem, but I assumed that it might have been fixed by now. Anyway, if you are using the default browser, I suggest you try Xscope or Dolphin. I've been using the former since last Dec, and rarely see that crashing. You should be able to get them on market, or the Xscope dev has a download on his website. Been using both with Flash.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tposey:
mine has been doing that with the 10.1 flash. Since I cant access android market, I cant download 10.2 straight to the tablet. The market keeps saying I dont have an android device linked to the account

using freewarelovers to DL 10.2. will see if this fixes it

works
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
If you can use other browsers on the stock firmware I highly suggest Opera Mobile. It has hardware acceleration so it scrolls and zooms smoother than the others, too. I'ts my favorite so far. Makes the web experience on the tab a lot better.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaceentity:
Well, I uninstalled Flash 10.1 and I think that it has fixed my browser problems. Thanks for all your help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joekak:
Awesome! If you still want flash just hop over to freewarelovers [dot] com, and flash 10.2 is right on the homepage. It's pretty flawlessly, especially compared to 10.1.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasya152:
since i've updated to 2.3.3, i've noticed that some pictures are missing from phone. i think i had the issue with 2.3.2 as well. noticed video missing as well. this really gets to me since the pictures just randomly get deleted from the phone. i've googled it and it's a common problem. does anyone have a fix for this yet?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maelos:
My understanding is that the pictures arn't actually getting deleted, just the gallery isn't displaying them. To be sure, connect your phone to your PC and browse to the pictures, they should all be there.

I believe I saw a 'fix' somewhere about installing a different gallery manager app, and that that seemed to fix the issue. I can't remember which forum I saw it on, so please don't quote me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcr44ramirez:
This used to happen to me on my NS. It would look like the photos where deleted but then when I would check later on they would be their ,and that was on 2.3.2
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirby_blue:
As we say in French: "Dans le doute, reboote". (When in doubt, reboot). Your pictures will be back in the gallery. That's the only workaround I found for the moment...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristan_2468:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darklord74:
I use Quickpic as well cuz the gallery app sucks. I just lost pics and a video that i converted and moved onto my phone. They are gone. Can't find them using my computer to browse my phone, can't find them using ESfile explorer either. Rebooted. Still gone:mad:

Can't find a fix anywhere. Not happy.

At least I didn't lose data on my iPhone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossNexusS:
I have had this happen to me too, but i had the app AndExplorer on it and i read something where it said that this app was known to delete files just randomly, so if you have this app.. id suggest using Linda Manager or another file manager instead..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Here is what you can try when you see pictures not showing up in gallery3D app:

Stop or FC Gallery.apk so it's not running

Use root expolorer (or some other expolrer capable of displaying files and folders starting with ".")

Browse to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails

Delete all pictures and files you see there (those are thumbnails only)

You might have to reboot the phone but usually you can just start Gallery and it will regenerate (slowly) all your thumbnails again.

Gallery3D app creates the folder called ".thumbnails" for which it stores all thumbnails of your pictures for quick screen draw on the 3D interface. If for some reason you copy your pictures from one place on SD card to another or you add new pictures without Gallery.apk running they wont show up because thumbnails were either deleted or never created.

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]

Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.

Depending on the rom you use, some of the sense roms that are sense 2.0 based have a phone finder built in. Blackberry isn't bad, it's a business phone. It's not made to be flashy, it's just made to work. I don't like it since it doesn't fit my wants in a smartphone, but hey it does what it's made to do.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I think there are some, but I don't know the names of any off hand.

I completely agree, and that's exactly why I hate it; it doesn't fit what I need it to do in a smartphone. And I'm still kinda ticked that I can only have 1 alarm...and I have 2 different class times on m/w and t/th so changing it daily is a pain.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah have found one that says it can remotely enable GPS and one stating that if off it can use network location. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That or it has been so long thought it wasn't likely. Damn, posts like these always get me thinking about having my phone stolen. Bummer.

Hi everyone,

I'm making an application, which is going to look and hopefully be very simple to make. I'm making it for the teachers at school, who recently transitioned over to electronic grading and attendance. This is more of a reference for me (because I can't get onto my email from here) but if anyone is willing to help me out (because I am extremely new to developing) that would be great.

Plans:

User/pass screen w/ remember me

attendance sheets

new assignments w/ having/not having

My first task is first making a screen that allows you to input your username and password with a remember me checkmark. After that, I plan to implement attendance.

If all goes well, I then hope to allow teachers to type in a new assignment, and then go around the classroom to check whether a student either does or doesn't have their assignment.
