[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
I hated lock screens also. I'm constantly opening my phone out and to have to spend 3 seconds unlocking it gets annoying. I used to use WheresMyDroid (free on the Market) and its nice for finding the phone. By texting the phone (from any number) a special code, the phone will send gps latitude/longitude of the phones location and another special code will force the phone to play an alarm. It's not so great compared to SeekDroid, but it doesn't need data.

SeekDroid needs data, so if you send a bunch of commands, it won't be recognized until the phone establishes an online connection. So if the phone is off, then nothing can be done. But there's a high chance that they'll turn it on eventually. And there's an even higher chance that they'll try going online with it. From what I remember, it was $1 for the app. It was on Amazon's FAD a couple of times. Looks like the app is now $4.99 on the Market, but there is a lite version that you can try out. I think it's a steal even at $4.99.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
get an app called seek droid

only cost a buck and works great

log into their webiste and you can wipe your internal and external memory cards, make an alarm go off even of phone is on silent (this lost phone) and other stuff.

also lets you set a password remotely. pretty awesome
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Yeah SeekDroid is the way to go. it was free a while back on the amazon app store.

Where is my droid pro also gives you the location off the device. but SeekDroid offers more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sycko:
Last few releases of SeekDroid have included SMS, in-case the device has no data connection. Its not very well advertised right now, but some documentation can be found here: http://help.seekdroid.com/kb/features/sms-how-to-and-help

Glad to hear everyone likes the app. If anyone has any questions, shoot us a line at http://help.seekdroid.com

PS: We should be going on sale on the Amazon Appstore within the next few day. If you wait you might be able to save a few bucks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
Oh dammmmmmmmmn, SeekDroid now has the ability to wipe the phone through a text message? That's so awesome. Will the phone show that a text conversation has initiated? The person could turn off the phone if they somehow saw that someone was trying to find it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sycko:
If you send a SMS to SeekDroid (with the correct SMS pin and all), we will block that message from going to the phones SMS app. This means it still stays hidden from a thief that they are being tracked.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socialal:
Phone tracking/wiping

sorry to hear about stolen phone, but folks dont go out and spend money on those apps. Did I not read the reply or did I just miss the one that reminds us all they are 95% USELESS. They are P.O.S!!! They will only work if the phone 1) is powered on 2) has cellular coverage 3) has your sim in it.

All anyone has to do is turn it off, travel out of coverage range, or simply take out or replace the sim.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sycko:
We get success stories of people recovering their devices all the time. Also, as long as the device has a network OR data connection it can be tracked. SeekDroid will still track the device if the SIM is replaced.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
Lolwut? I can gurantee that 99% of phone thieves will at least connect it to a network of some sort. And that's when SeekDroid will strike. I'd take SeekDroid over any app out there on the market. It's simply the best at what it does and then some.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
at least this gives you a chance as long as your proactive and get on it fast.

you get the choice to locate it, or completely wipe everything off the phone, which is what i would do because i wouldn't want someone to be able to screw with my email account, facebook, contacts, and everything else on my phone.

not to mention being able to set off an alarm on my phone even when its on silent has helped me find it a few times when it decides to go deep sea couch diving
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socialal:
hmm Really? might make it worth looking into then. Because according to big brother (ATT) and apple. The only was those work is by sending a message/signal to the device. if the device is off or has no signal there is no way to for the service. if its a free download. I'll download it and then remove my sim and try pinging it

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

What identifier is it using? Because i thought once the sim card was swapped it became essentialy a different phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] john21511:
Check out an app called plan b on the marketplace website. You can install it from there and it will show you where the phone is an you can wipe it clean. It's free.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
The stuff with the locations "longitude and latitude" doesn't the GPS have to be turned on the phone?

What about if the sim card was removed?

I had looked on my AT&T records and the 'criminal' did go online for a bit until the phone was turned off

But damn... the thought of having my email accounts logged in, my messages, phone numbers, personal notes and voice recordings etc... pictures...

Oh man it's like someone has just stripped me naked and posted my image on somebody's bedroom wall (ha)

Anyhow it would have been nice to have any of these apps on my phone, though my phone sticks to me like a cancer

Thank you guys for your input

I'll try to be wiser next time

Just a side question

What's the cost of switching devices if your last device was stolen? I like the sound of the "skyrocket" though I wouldn't mind getting my old Infuse back either and trying the ubuntu os

That looks sweet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Ha! Plan B now that's an app name
[General Questions and Answers] phi1542:
Hi I just got the Samsung Galaxy Precedent and I want to install a custom ROM on it. I don't really like the current firmware personally. I already rooted it and installed Rom Manager. When i try to flash it for Clockworkmod Recovery, it gives me a list of phones:

-Commtiva Z71

-Dell Streak

-Geeksphone ONE

-Huawei Ascend

-Huawei Ascend 2

-Huawei Pulse

-Huawei Pulse Mini

-Huawei U8220/U8230

-Micromax A70

None of them are even close to Samsung Galaxy Precedent... :confused: Can someone make a guide for me or give me a link? :) That would be very helpful!!!! :D Thank you. :D

[Atrix 4G General] cmay227:
Ok, first off i have my phone through my company. they recently made a new deal with att as far as service goes. anyway i have never had a data plan on my phone,

yesterday a little E popped up on the top and now i have the edge network available. i went to att and they said i have no data plan. my question is, i am somehow getting edge, shouldn't i be able to get 3g? I'm in a major city. (Dallas)\

but it only gets edge. I'm running darkside rom and unlocked bootloader. thanks for any help.
[Atrix 4G General] Bruce Lee:
Have you tried searching for network providers under settings and picking a different network under ATT?

Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G General] cmay227:
all setting are correct to get 3g, tried my sim in another phone and still no 3g. I'm going to accept that it is edge only since i have been at this company for awhile and have never had data, so this is good enough. haven't paid a phone bill in 7 yrs.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
That is weird because if you don't have a data plan, then you shouldn't even have Edge. (AKA no data)

I see that you have a custom rom, have you ever had 3G when you were on stock?

The only thing I could suggest for now is to recheck your APN settings and make sure that they match your provider...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
I just returned my TMO SGSII today because of all the vertical lines / blobs on the screen when low light or grey backgrounds.

it was very, very, disturbing to my eyes when i'm using the phone at night.

I've gone through 10+ replacements, with all different manufacturing dates on the box.

every single one of them had lines.

ppl in TMO SGSII forum says that its problem with the driver not working so well with the chip (or something)

i called samsung and talked to executive representative, asking if the phone is going to have any software update any time soon (not that it's really going to fix the problem :p)

they said since the phone is new, there are no planned updates so far.

so i just gave up and i'm back with my old captivate on tmo network with only edge speed.. :(

i wouldn't want to pay more than half a thousand dollars and get a defect phone (it's defect at least to me)

the display is what i mostly look into when i'm trying to buy a phone.

anyways,

do you guys think there will be any possibility that GN would have problems regarding screen display like TMO SGSII?

(fact that GN is not using exynos? - if it really matters)

sorry for the nooby question :p

thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
There is no real noob questions when it comes to this device... We hardly know about it!

I think it will be a perfect screen, no lines, samsung takes a lot of pride in this screen I highly doubt something like lines in the screen will show up an issue with this phone.

Side note...so did t mobile give you a refund for your sgs2 our anything?

I am my mom's "little elitest"

Deal with it! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
well, i paid $550 at first,

and i got all of it back in cash.

i don't know if you are supposed to get everything back, but if not, it's because i know the owner of my tmo local store so well. my girlfriend's dad runs that place.

i got my my hands on TMO SGSII on Oct. 7th or 8th, not even an hour after the phone got shipped to the store for the first time.

plus, i get lot of things for free. screen protectors, cases, etc. lol

anyway, thx for the answer. u have my thanks :)

it's good to know that it'll have perfect screen.

i hope tmo really gets this phone soon, cuz i have 10GB plan, but i'm stuck with EDGE!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
That's terrible! Edge must be killing you! Well I think we ask wish t mobile gets this soon.

I plan to get the lte version on verizon actually

I am my mom's "little elitest"

Deal with it! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
good for you :)

i'm better off with TMO network.. verizon somehow doesn't work well in my area..

i usually got 12+ Mbps with TMO SGSII when i had it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I don't think you'll have any problems with the screen of the NG. The SGS II had really bad colours because of Mdnie or so. Can't remember how it's called. When you flash CM7 on to the SGS II you won't experience this lines etc. because they don't include the drivers like Samsung does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
i see. not only the vertical lines, some pictures would get blurred a lot. like stock blue wallpaper on TMO SGSII.

but CM7 is not out for the TMO SGSII right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
not sure if this is what you were looking for, but Androidcentral just did some super macro up close shots of the Galaxy Note's screen (which is just about the exact same as the screen on the GN, but lower pixel density).

http://www.androidcentral.com/close-and-personal-hd-super-amoled

These pictures make the screen look suuuuper crisp. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Sry can't help you with the TMO version had the GSM international one.

Ah and I forgot something. Mdnie (or so) is a "feature" from Samsung to provide natural colours so it shouldn't be included in any AOSP ROM.
[HTC 7 Pro] SimzzDev:
I know there are plenty of roms for the 7 Pro, but are there any for the CDMA Sprint HTC Arrive? (I think it's also the HTC GOLD_C)

Thanks,

[HTC 7 Pro] mtstmp:
answer

there aren't any custom roms for the arrive yet because there's no way to load them on. cooking the roms and flashing is the easy part, but you need a hacked HSPL to write over the stock OS. the good news is mwang from the DFT (who made all the other HSPL's) is hard at work on making one for the Arrive. i want to interop unlock as well but I'll just wait to cook my own rom. much easier than downgrading and trying some sketchy updating tools. This thread is where mwang made the comment about the Gold_C coming soon, so check here for updates.

cheers

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikea3000:
Can someone please tell me if this is normal...

My phone battery was at 55%. I needed to reboot my phone. After reboot, it showed 43%. Can a reboot cause a 12% drop?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
I'm guessing you flashed a rom, if so you'll need to condition your battery and reset your battery stats in CWR.

Hercules Hercules!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikea3000:
no, i am completely stock, not even rooted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Hmmm, well then you shouldn't have that big drop.

Either way condition your battery.

Let it die all the way, charge to full, let it die all the way and charge to full. Usually stock is not really necessary, but in your case it wouldn't hurt.

Once you root (if you're going to) and flash CWR you can reset battery stats.

Hercules Hercules!!

Ive had my phone get stuck at 100 percent while stock. reboot hours later and its dead. Its a bug. I havent seen it since I rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josealejandro93:
Recently I got a boot loop on the Galaxy SII screen with the yellow triangle. I was flashing Darky Ressurection 10.1 when suddenly my PC went off "killing" my Galaxy SII.

Now it won't boot, no CWM, no download mode, not even light on the screen so I think that my Galaxy SII is "Hard Bricked".

Odin was just saying "Setting Partitions" or something like that so I think that it was writing something on the phone.

My question is. What could a possible solution for this be. Since I just called Samsung and they want me to take my phone to a Samsung Store so they can fix it (It's still under warranty). So I was just wondering if it's possible to see the counter as I left it (It was on 32-38 I think).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
For you (when d/l mode doesnt work anymore): No

For service center: Yes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Basically, if you can't access download mode, you're not able to check your binary counter... but, at the same time, neither can the people servicing your phone.

There's been debate about whether a USB jig can get you into download mode, even when the button combo doesn't, so it's worth trying to pick one up off eBay, and give it a shot.

But, from what I can piece together, if you don't mind lying, just take it in and play dumb, as if it just "turned off, and wouldn't restart...".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceBreakerG:
I can verify that using a USB jig will remove the yellow triangle and the I9100 text on boot. I just used it literally a couple hours ago on my phone. I picked one up on ebay for about $5 and some change.

I can't post a link yet to the one I got, but do a search on ebay for "Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S II S2 Download mode Jig reset" from seller mipick22 and you should find it. The price went up $1, so it's $4.50 plus shipping instead of $3.50, but still worth the price.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradoxxx:
BRAVO !

U just flashed a I9000 ROM on your I9100.

HardBrick GG.

Send it back to sammy, altough I'm not sure they will repair it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josealejandro93:
Everything seems fine. Today I left it at a Samsung Store, they took it with the charger (since my excuse was that when it ran out of battery and I plugged it, it won't charge neither start) for about 10 min. and came back with it telling me that they needed to make further repairs on it and to go and look for it in 2 weeks. They gave me some papers where it says that they need to change a cpu clock... not sure what's that though... And Yep, just read the whole number on the thread and it's only for I9000 I'm such an idiot... Q_Q This is the first time I make such a silly mistake... I'm quite glad that I had luck this time but I'm fetching a JIG once my GSII comes back...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradoxxx:
Lawl. You're so ****ing lucky. :)

Try to not do the same mistake.

Altough, I cannot believe that people can't read, and take care about a 500$ phone.

Knowing the number model of a such expensive phone is the first thing to do IMO. :)

So I just installed the GB update and I an loving the camera

the stabilisation is amazing on 3d and 2d

The 3d button is now remapped to shutter when your in the camera

3d video/photo now has led flash support

Camera seems slot faster

another thing.. you can watch 3d videos in 2d (not side by side but full screen!)

Then the rest is just so much snapper and faster

Overall great ROM I recommend

Followed this thread and forum and am looking forward.

I'm ok with my o3d. The only thing i miss is that photos on the beautyful widescreen can not be shoot in widescreen format. I would crop them but i takes too much work - so i don't do it. I really would love to see pictures in fullscreen (cropped with less resolution is ok for me) on my phone and on any new tv - it is just not implemented yet but i think would be a super option that takes not too much work - even nokia did it on the n900.

THE LACK OF WIDESCREEN FORMAT MAKES THE O3D PHONE LOOK 5 YEARS OLDER.

(4:3 is an old shool format - seen from a designers point of view)

[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
doubt they'll get a chance to read that post.

If you don't mind editting the image after you take the picture...

You can always just tap the edit botton on the lower left side after you took the picture. That'll open up its Image Editor and you can do some editting. You can actually make the picture fullscreen if you resize it and press the + button one time. Fat objects though.

Or, if you're more comfortable with cropping, crop the photo.

Nice part about it is just that you'll be working on it as one 2D image rather than 2.

Well, not as convienent as being able to choose a 16:9 format when taking pictures, but its enough of a solution for now. I don't use it much.
