[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
So I guess my mom is tracking my phone with the sprint family locator, one I figure this will drain battery because my location will constantly be sent, two I don't want my mother knowing when I'm getting high;) (jk, but I do enjoy privacy), and 3 I beleive she's tracking my father to. This wouldn't be bad except he doesn't want her to, not to bring you guys into my family life, but they just got divorced and long story short they don't trust each other and my father doesn't want her tracking his phone as she's lied to him about this tracking thing before.

SFL is most likely a hidden stock all or just something like ciq hidden in running programs somewhere.

My question : Is there a way I can prevent it from tracking my father and my phones? Such as deleting the service, in installing the app through root, or any way really.

Second question, if I did this would she know through say a notification we cannot be tracked anymore, or perhaps it just won't show up at all?

Thanks guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
I installed and tried the app. It only has to be on the primary account holders phone and tracks through gps. I tried tracking my families phones and my girl turned her location services off, so it wouldn't track her phone. Try turning your location services off in settings.

Thank you.. Ide let you know ow if it works or not, but I wouldn't be able to tell.. How did you view were they were? From your phone or a computer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
Both. It found her once, then she turned her gps off and it just kept saying phone not found

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
if she is tracking your dad who is divorced, he needs to get his own phone off her plan
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaulB007:
Actually, I have had the locator still able to find phones even if the person has GPS extra off. The only way is to use roam control and use verizons tower. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think the locator triangulates your location from the cell phone towers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
The, but I was asking for phone help not life guidance. Besides if he stays on or plan I get his upgrade also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
The is most likely the case :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah but you could drive around where it says they are all day and not find them. Not that that isn't the case with gps in a building as well. I get good reception for gps in my house but the accuracy bounces around to wider than this block a lot of the time.

If your under 18 there isn't much to say. People want to be left alone and or rebel. But when your a minor and a dependent of someone not only is anything you own their property they are responsible for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I remember reading there is a bug that google voice sprint integration breaks family locator, I don't know if sprint fixed it yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
Thanks rain, but I'm doing this Moe or less for my dad. He flies, so if my mom were to know he's out of state **** might go down . lol basicly.

Use that app it spoofs the location lol you can have a lot of fun with it like put yourself on another country or in the middle of the ocean haha then your mother would think the tracking app doesnt work and hopefully stops using it just an idea lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaulB007:
Just force roam, I don't think there is any other way honestly. But I know that is a for sure method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feelmyepictouch:
The phone triangulates off the towers. It shouldn't matter if you turn GPS off. The force roam idea may work, if he keeps his GPS off. Depending on how often she is checking it, she'll know something is up if the phone is on and the service is not working. (Trust me, I get calls like this all the time.) If you do a change of ownership you keep the same phone number, same contract dates, no ETF, thus you would still get his upgrade. If you roam too much you'll get terminated. Best solution is get a boost mobile and use *73 and leave the sprint phone at home when he's traveling.

She may still catch on, but it could take a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
If you have a Google voice number integrated with your sprint number it will prevent sfl from obtaining your location. It did for me anyways. It either doesn't affect everyone or others haven't noticed. I haven't found any official confirmation anywhere yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
Do this! Make it say ur in Madagascar or something.

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
My point was there is probably no way to stop her from tracking him, seeing what numbers he calls and texts. With the phone in her name, unfortunately for you and him, there is no way to stop it. Also even without sfl, she can see any number he texts by requesting the info from sprints security department. I have done it myself. its an easy process.

Please help me !

i am new user for android and i want using a latest version

on my galaxy Note GTN7000

please if you want show me where is the best version of the latest android system and workin without bugs !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
I would advice you to wait for official release mate

Right now there are couple of very good ICS ROMs but there is also a risk of bricking your note because ICS leaks kernel are somewhat faulty

Better safe than sorry :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharp2G:
I agree. Hearing all the issues, not even about bricking frightens me. Although for those who have successfully installed ICS on the Note, I do envy you because stock android looks amazing! However, once official ICS is released by Samsung devs would prefect stock ICS I bet. =P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlitzyMannna:
I have just come back to stock after using ICS ROMS.

I encountered a lot of problems such as:

not being able to transfer files from pc to note.(i had to take out SD card and use an adapter).

Phones rebooting randomly alot.

When trying to flash in recovery, the flashing procedure kept on freezing.

I think it is safe to stay on stock, where you will be problem free until official ICS release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalmagal:
I've never had any of these problems that you mention. I don't think most users have either.

Can't transfer files? USB storage is now native to most ICS ROMS.

Random rebooting? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Flashing in recovery and freezing? Okay, yeah that's a common problem...but it's an easily fixed problem, and it mainly comes about because you don't have proper root to begin with.

There's also some evidence recently that a few ICS kernels can cause permanent emmc (internal storage) failure that can not be revived. So yes, you probably shouldn't be flashing ROMS to begin with, as it sounds like you don't have much experience. This would put you in over your head for sure. It's best to wait until you've lurked around the boards for a bit and to wait for a stable and official ICS base to come out. Best of luck!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
Tmonews is reporting the ICS updates in the near future. The only devices mentioned are GS2, Amaze, and Sensation. I was pretty sure we weren't getting it before but now I am almost positive that we are not. Perhaps if the O2x gets it then we can port it over.

I am waiting to see when will the Galxy Note or Galaxy S3 come to T-mobile. If the date is too far away(We are always that last to get anything) then I am getting a $399 Galaxy Nexus.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
Yeah I agree. We aren't gonna see an official ICS update. This phone caused way too many problems for T-mobile/LG. If we were to get an update it should've been before the update for the SGS2 since the G2x came out before that phone.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Although, from that site that you posted look at the very left of the picture. It says G2x with the letters "ch" at the end of a word below it. Maybe there is some hope after all!

Just wait it see guys. So many of these similar threads are being made, it's just a waste of time right now.

Just enjoy GB. TMO released a good GB ROM and CM7 is still pretty awesome for this phone. If ICS comes then cool, if not then just be content or move on to something else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] steveb2005:
Look at the picture in the link from the OP

On the left hand side, it says G2X in red font. Below it you can make out the letters "ch" at the end of the word. So maybe that means that the G2X Ice Cream SandwiCH update is overdue????
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Nope, just means you can't read an entire thread
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
hahahaahhaha. Agreed. And for the people so upset about not having ICS, I got some news. This site is loaded with ICS roms. Download, Flash, and enjoy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
We really don't need the Rom.

We really need the driver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iArtisan:
And here's some news for you:

Official ICS =/= third party ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Ok, so since everyone wants to sit here and bash. Lets me burst everyones "official ICS" dreams. Its not gonna happen. It'll most likely never happen. How do I know this? I sell phones. If T-mobile had plans for it, why would they move forward in production of newer model phones? Oh, and the reason HTC sensation is getting it is because they make money on it. The G2x is falling behind in the market where everyone wants the Galaxy series (say hello to the galaxy blaze and the soon GS3) or HTC. If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with. So, yeah. Go cry in a corner now that you know LG hates you.

What the hell does "=/=" mean? Are you squinting at me?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
=/= is the same as ≠
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
OH ok. thank you for clarifying that. so then why didnt you use the latter?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iArtisan:
Oh thanks a lot for the explanation captain obvious, hence the topic title being "I am 99.9% sure we are not getting official ICS."

I don't quite understand who is "bashing" anyone in this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hobbla:
As long as the O2X gets an official ICS update from LG, then we'll be fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Interesting post from the O2X thread, regarding ICS update:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426191

Maybe an incompetent LG representative (since the Wind "O2X" is a G2X without the Tmobile logo) or on the contrary.

Jellybean out.

Oh noez. 1 year behind
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Yeah, ain't too cool.

It is what it is, let's wait and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
What annoys me the most about this is that it took them a year to get a decent GB ROM and baseband for this phone. Mine finally has reasonably working GPS, and so far hasn't locked up, but it's only been a few days. Still it's behaving better than it ever has before and I no longer loathe it.

And jaywillsoul, by your logic no phone would ever be updated. And that's definitely not the case. I definitely won't be buying an LG again after my experience with this phone, especially if they aren't providing updates (although since the O2X is supposedly getting an update it may be T-Mobile that is at fault). I'll be looking for manufacturers that do update recent phones to the most recent version of Android. The G2X has decent specs and should have no trouble running ICS, and since many of us are still under contract with this phone it is reasonable to expect an ICS upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] defconoi:
I had my vibrant replaced with a g2x and Latoya from online chat spoke to a android technician and confirmed that there will be no T-Mobile ics update for the g2x when I had asked. If we get updated it won't be through T-Mobile. We might have to rely on lg or a port of an o2x ics rom. At this point we should write to nvidia to provide binary gpu drivers like qualcomm did with the sgs 2

[HTC Titan] blakwolf:
I'm trying to get unlock codes for a pair of HTC Titans, and to start the process you need to obtain the IMEI code. Unfortunately, I don't have AT&T simcards, only T-mobile simcards. Dialer won't let me dial *#06# to get the IMEI code because of this, saying I can only make emergency calls.

Is the IMEI found in the About screen or from under the battery not valid for unlocking the phones? Any recommendations regarding how to get past this roadblock?
[HTC Titan] foxbat121:
There is only one IMEI number per phone. It could be printed on your box, show up in about screen and under the battery, all the same number.
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
In airplane mode *#06# brings up the IMEI just fine
[HTC Titan] :
On the box, area where your S/N is on the phone (where the battery is placed), and by dialing *#06# ....
[HTC Titan] blakwolf:
I thought there would only be one IMEI number, and that it should be the same. It just seemed strange that every instruction for buying unlock codes asked for *#06#.
[HTC Titan] slick69:
That one is the most trustworthy number if you don't know the full history of the phone. For mine, it was brand new in box and sealed so I was comfortable using the IMEI off the box.
[HTC Titan] fadilkarim:
does that mean an imei number can change?
[HTC Titan] AndrewSh:
Normally changing IMEI is a criminal violation in most of the countries. And normally IMEI is contained in the inaccessible first 256 kb of flash data (part of the phones) or even in separate chip.

Some useful reading for you regarding IMEI changing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=276851
[HTC Titan] slick69:
Not usually or on its own, but an unscrupulous seller can change the IMEI, or give you a phone with a different IMEI and a box with a different IMEI.

*#06# works perfect with and without airplane mode on tablet 7" dual sims.
