i'm also using ICS 4.1.1 from lord and i also came across this "issue".

the funny thing is, that it automatically linked most of my contacts together, but not all of them. in that process of linking them manually i also noticed that in the "link-list" there is no search possibility. so when you want to link a contact you have to scroll down the whole list manually. very annoying.

i also have a question which confuses me a little bit: when you open a contact, there is a point which says "connection" with an "add connection"-button (or something very similar... can't remember exactly right now). is that the same if i hit the "join" button in the edit-page?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddpacino:
Hi Guys,

I wanted to know what any of you find to be the best app to find a lost phone. I wanted to know what the best app is to date since things can change over time, and I havent used this type of service for over a year. Some features I'd like are GPS tracking but little to no battery drain, and the ability to sound an alert even when the phone is silent or on vibrate. Thanks for any and all input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheCrow1372:
Just me but I use the one that comes with 'Kaprasky Security', it is very accurate in my country of Canada so just try that or wait for other responses
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Cerberus is by far the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
This is what I use and is the best and has lots features highly recommend.

I second this. No monthly or annual fees. Just pay $4 one time and it covers up to 5 devices.

Here's some of the features:

Android Lost can do everything you want and more. Best of all, no fees!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I used that to find my wife's phone. Did a remote install too as I didn't have it on the device. .. Amazing.

I've heard a lot about Cerberus, but it needs to always be running on your device from what I can see. Can you remote install and configure it only when you need it? If not, that's a pretty dangerous app to allow basically all functions of your phone to be accessed online...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrldtreker:
I use avast! Mobile Security. You can install the application and then enable Anti-Theft. Once it's set-up and installed, you can uninstall avast! Mobile Security. (I'm unable to provide links, but they have a webpage that describes the necessary steps better.)

You can then use a bunch of different commands via text message to locate/lock/unlock/etc. your phone. You can specify two phone numbers to be the only phones that can communicate with your device, or you can leave it open. (Commands sent to your device must contain your pin code and then the command.)

The FAQ for the app says it does not run in the background and is only activated when a text command is sent to the phone. (I think this program only works if you're able to receive text messages to your actual number. Not via Google Voice.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geruetzel:
avast mobile security is awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
I use cerberus...they have features such a remote recording of video and audio which I don't think is available on SeekDroid which I was on before

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can buy a ball of yarn at the hardware store for a few cents. Tie one end to the phone, one end to your wrist.

Never lose the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Avast can get location even if GPS, wifi, mobile data and location service are turned off, if you are rooted. Cerberus can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Pretty sure if you allow Cerberus administrator privileges, it can turn on GPS/Wifi/Data on by command...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Pretty sure it can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Okay... I just tested it now with Cerberus dashboard (online website where you can send commands from) with my phone unlocked right in front of me. Sent command "start tracking" and saw with my own eyes the WIFI and GPS toggles go from OFF to ON. Wifi and GPS still on... Sent command "stop tracking" and WIFI and GPS toggles went from ON to OFF.

---Edit---

Sorry, I was wrong about the administrator privileges, by enabling that, it will allow you to erase your data/sd card remotely. To get WIFI and GPS to turn on when you send the tracking command, you have to push Cerberus to /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
I see a flaw in all of this:

Factory reset = GG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Cerberus help page, and I quote:

"I have a rooted device. Can I get additional features?

Yes! If you have rooted your device you can integrate Cerberus into your ROM and get two additional features: complete uninstall protection (Cerberus will even survive a wipe/factory reset) and GPS auto-enabling even on Android 2.3.3 and later. To have these features uninstall Cerberus, then download cerberus.zip, put it on the sd card and install it from recovery. Cerberus is also available on ROM Manager."

Taken from avast! Mobile Security app page, and I quote:

"Self-Protection

Extremely difficult for thieves to remove (especially on rooted phones), Anti-Theft protects itself from uninstall by disguising its components with various self-preservation techniques. On rooted phones it is able to survive hard-resets and can even disable the phone’s USB port."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Moved it to system/app and then it works on my ICS Nexus one, but not on my Galaxy Nexus, both on 4.0.3.

It also pops up the location consent agreement box on both. Didn't try to push agree on that to see if that would help on the GN, but don't expect a thief will do that, so didn't see any point.

Avast don't pop up this box and it will also install itself into system/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Hmm... weird. I never got the location consent agreement box. Running AOKP 27 (4.0.3) on Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/Verizon).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I didn't get a location agreement either.

AOKP 27 as well.

And I had heard of...but never tried Cerberus.

Fantastic.

As I've been troubleshooting SeekDroid endlessly...moving it to system...

Uninstalling and such.

It simply would NOT enable GPS.

Thanks for the suggestion on Cerberus!

I moved it to system...

And it does indeed turn on my GPS without problem.

The "take picture" "record video" and "record audio" options are fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Cerberus is awesome. I've never had to use it, and hopefully never will, but it's a great app to have. The thought that someone could theoretically hack your account and remote wipe everything is a little disturbing, but short of writing your own app, I'm not sure if there is any security app out there that is completely closed off from the potential threat of something like that happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
If I personally wanted to take a phone and noticed it was rooted...

(And I'm not a thief, just stating the level of ease they could remove this app with...)

I'd boot into recovery before doing anything else with the phone.

I mean...I pick it up...oh, they're on AOKP.

Recovery. Factory reset.

Take home.

Profit?

Kind of disturbing, indeed.

But I've yet to run into a single person running custom roms other than me and my ma (my doing).

I'm sure locking them out of the screen would be enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
They all work in similar ways but Avast! is free and hard-reset proof if you are rooted.

So my vote goes to Avast! because while Cerebus has some nice web UI and features, a simple factory reset will render the app completely useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Guess you haven't tried with location service turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Not if you flash the zip and install it to /system. The other option to use in conjunction would be encryption. Good luck flashing a new rom on top of that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Okay. Just tried it. "Disagreed" as a thief would do, and even then, GPS satellites and Wifi turned on. Also, they turned on even at the "Agree/Disagree" prompt, so if no answer was given (i.e. in the thief's pocket or something), it would still find your phone based on your wifi and gps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
But do you get a location?

When I send an sms I only get "Cerberus couldn't find your location" sms back, after a few seconds. Works fine on my Nexus One though. And as I said Avast doesn't pop up this box. It could make the thief aware something is about to hit him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Yeah, I got a location, accurate to about 5 meters. I guess I just always have Google's location service and Location and Google search checked (not GPS satellites though), so it's not a problem for me. If you don't have yours checked normally, then I guess it wouldn't be an ideal situation for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s4vva:
Replacement for Wavesecure

The A-holes at McAfee have decided that a lifetime licence is actually not a lifetime licence. So I am looking for a replacement for WaveSecure, reading through the posts above it seems it's a toss up between Cerberus and Androidlost.

Any comments or suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheCrow1372:
AVAST
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Rogers has their own;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I'll add another vote to Cerberus.

Has no problem starting/disabling GPS.

I don't know if it NEEDS to be a system app to do this...

But I place it there anyway...just in case.

That way; if someone tech-savy finds my phone and immediately does a factory reset...I still have the ability to track my phone...unless they flash a new rom of-course.

Also has options to take screenshots.

Record audio...

Record video...

Take pictures.

Take pictures when someone enters the wrong lock code (and you can remotely set a lock code as well).

Hide the app from your app-drawer...

Cerberus is fantastic.

All custom roms will have a bug or two. There is no prefect rom and there never will be. IF you want a rom that just works stay stock. This is not a rom site it is a development site. Which means we like bugs cause then we can learn to fix them on our own.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mspecnur:
hi.

a bit of a stupid question here, sorry.

so I tried to flash this cwm 5.5.0.4 using ph85img.zip (hboot method)

and it said that the update was complete.

but im not showing cwm 5.5.0.4 anywhere. infact it just says

5.0.2.6 on my rom manager.........:(:(:(:(:(:(

(even if i reboot my phone to cwm recovery, it still says 5.0.2.6)

did i miss a step here?

i really need 5.5.0.4 get going since my current recovery doesnt seem to

allow charging when the phone is off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
If you can find CWM Touch 5.8.0.9. by Xboarder56 (you won't find it here and I'm not posting the link to android-dev site) it works perfectly and has touch UI interface
[HTC Amaze 4G] mspecnur:
thanks.

so you think that not displaying cwm recovery (5.5.0.4) on the rom manager

is a problem too?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Idk, I've never used ROM manager on this device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
rom manager will only show 5.0.2.6 because that is the latest official version, but when you boot into recovery it should show the correct version...

also the previous version of 5.8.0.9 has off charging issues as recently discovered but X updated not too long ago, so for those like me that jumped the gun on 5.8.0.9 we need to update lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] mspecnur:
thanks for the info.

yea, i just downloaded 5.8.0.9 from android dev.

5.8.0.9 runs fine on my phone right now, but i see no changes in

off-charging. It is charging reaaaaaaaaally slow... I mean i never seen a green

light when the phone was off since day 1. (day 1 i rooted)

you mentioned X updated 5.8.0.9 recently but how recent was this?

[HTC Amaze 4G] mspecnur:
yea well actually i see X released the RC2 yesterday evening

and im sure i downloaded the most updated one since i did it around this noon.

uhhhhhhhh its irritating but i guess off-charging on this device is super slow

for some reason...? unless if there is any other known issues that could be solved.....:eek::eek::eek::eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
ya rc2 is the one with the fix, but idk about off charging being slow since i always have my phone on lol

problem with black ring

Great looking mods. Stock green battery mod works flawlessly. Black ring works well when you unlock it by pulling the ring up. (Stays black) When you try to pull one of the icons into the ring, the ring moves to meet the icon half way, but it's gray in color, just like stock ring. I'm using ARHD 6.4.0.... The ring looks great, but it looks unfinished when it goes back to stock color. Hope that's fixable.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

This stems back to the tools being used to build these mods.

They worked 100% with Sense 3.0

But after that they didn't, and we have been making do ever since.

The mod you are using is a combination of Sense 3.0,3.5, and 3.6 files, but only the Sense 3.0 file are fixable.

Sorry.
