[HTC Rezound] fafinaf:
I have to admit they are pretty annoying and I never liked them. When I got home I suspended my service without bill pay.. and that was all I could do so I really regret not downloading an app with features like remote wipe and gps tracking as has been mentioned.

So if I'm completely understanding this data conundrum.. you can't avoid it because you will have to renew your contract eventually at some point and then poof :/

I keep thinking about how it would suck to buy a phone that's been out for a bit to miss out on a newer one due to $. So, seeing as how it's only $120 for a new rezound, it could be the wiser option.

I don't know the prices of the phones you guys mentioned in used/like New/ and *New* (unopened box by private party) conditions are though so gotta do some research.

I like the rezound but to say I haven't wondered what a different phone would be like would be a lie.

I just hope this thread can serve as a reminder to someone out there who's delaying getting an app for situations like this. I didn't think this could or would happen to me.. my phone and I were inseparable. Don't learn the hard way when you can learn from my mistake :)

This community is awesome too. It's sad thinking about leaving :/ Supportive, friendly and close-knit.

Have you tried plan b? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb

Might give it a shot. If you want it back that is.

[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I was going to say the remote install feature here could be a life saver. Unless you wait too long. Then they might have time to wipe it.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
My friend got a brand new out of the box w/ Asurion. With PC they cover manufacturer issues as well I assume. Do you get free overnight shipping for warranty exchanges with them? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Sooo... do you not lock your car or house doors because it is annoying? What's really annoying is someone having access to all your stuff in less than a second. Unless your phone is surgically implanted? ;)

A pattern lock can still be pretty quick, depending on how complex you make it. Yeah, a lockscreen may just be a minor annoyance for a knowledgeable thief - but I'm betting a lot of people that end up with stolen phones are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. A lockscreen and Lookout/avast!/whatever could potentially save you from even more trouble. Use nothing at all and you're definitely screwed.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Well, I'm only 15 so I really don't have any "personal information" that is really important. ;) If i did maybe i would have a passcode, but I also try to put a passcode on my phone when I'm around people.
[HTC Rezound] Robert235:
Sorry to hear that,I cant say i understand how u feel,but the most important thing you wasnt attacked.i can honestly say i never lock my phone either.It like with my mom she tried to break up a fight and one of them took the phone,it had newer pics my grandparents that pass away on it.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i believe so, if not, two day. i haven't filed a claim yet for PC, as nobody has come in with a broken phone lol
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Have AndroidLost on all my Droids.... Even used it when my wife traveled across the country to see where she was (not spying she knew).

You can even load it after the fact if the number and Sim has not changed yet.

Work phone requires password on the device. No such thing as annoying... no password, no work email access.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Thanks for the tip on that app, I've tried a few, this one works well in my intial testing.

OP - Remotely install this via the market web page, you can fire off the cameras on the phone, enable the GPS to get it's location, etc..
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Next phone you get, make sure you install AndroidLost on it. Then you can just login to the Androidlost website and turn on GPS, find your phone, lock it, take a picture of whoever is using it, record whatever they are saying and listen to it on your computer, etc. Really useful app, and I'm surprised its not considered an absolute must install by more Android users. Its totally free, and works amazingly well.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
As noted by krelvinaz, if the phone is still on and has not been wiped yet, you can still install it remotely via the play website.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
True, but I'm not sure it can be activated remotely as well...

I suppose you could with another application like AirDroid or Webkey already installed first though..
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Lol did you even click the link for plan b? It remotely installs and activates it.
[HTC Rezound] hceuterpe:
If it makes you feel any better:

Last winter during my ski trip, I found no less than 2 cell phones people misplaced, both left in public restrooms.

I promptly turned both of them into lost and found.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Nope I didn't. =\
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
haha there's a huge banner in the play store with the steps..says to install it from the web link, then remotely wipe! seems like an awesome idea
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
I left my phone behind at a restaurant.... Freaked out because I hadn't put lookout back on it yet after flashing a new rom. Found plan B, downloaded it. It worked good, showed me it was exactly where I left it. I did have the pattern unlock on it and had played some games after unlocking it, so the screen would have been all smudged up to keep them from seeing the pattern. Still freaky. Plan B worked good tho!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It can per the website.

Remote installation

If you have already lost your phone and have not yet installed androidlost you still have a chance of using it. First push the app to the phone as described above. Then send an SMS with the text "androidlost register". This will startup the app, get a google push key and send it to the web server. You should now be able to sign in on www.androidlost.com and start the alarm.

[HTC Rezound] fafinaf:
I already suspended the service without bill paid that night that it got stolen. I think this is a good time to get a new phone in my opinion. but I do think you for all of the information I definitely will be installing that app on every phone I plan on using.

I wonder what the policies or laws in california are surrounding law enforcements ability to use or act on information which was gathered/obtained by the phone theft victim (by way of an app/gps tracking technology to locate the phone). Wouldn't the police need a warrant issued on intel which can be verified and evidence as well? And if retrieving the stolen phone required entry or acces into/to a house or residence etc (if it was in one)?

Cause if the person who stole the phone was on the street or something, why should the police officer believe me? What's to say I'm not crazy and trying to get a police officer to steal someone's phone for me by saying it's mine. Maybe I'm way off here.. just sincere curiosity though.

sorry for any difficulties reading this. typing on my moms tiny rhyme!

[HTC Sensation] camomilocamo:
I have installed almost all roms with sense 4, and all of them gave me the same error with whatsapp.

A contact send me a whatsapp message and my phone didn´t receive it until i open the contact in whatsapp....All the messages that he sent before,and i didn´t notice, come suddenly at once when i open the whatsapp contact.

Anybody has the same problem ????

I have the Sensation 4G (Tmous), and all rest of apps run great on sense 4...

(This happen with rom ports of htc ville 1.11 and htc one 1.70.)
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
Did you restore whatsapp from a back or a fresh install from the market?
[HTC Sensation] camomilocamo:
Always fresh install from market.....

Always very good signal 2G & 3G....not a problem of bad signal....

Don´t know what happen.... At begining thought it was a rom problem, but it´s only in sense 4 roms.
[HTC Sensation] Welsyntoffie:
Go to www.senseomaniac.mobi and download ics sense 4 rom there. I am using it and do not have any problems of any kind.

Sent from my Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] camomilocamo:
Thanks dude, but i tried this rom (1.3 version) days ago and the same thing....whatsapp problem.....all the rest, perfect for me.

It´s always the same....when i open whatsapp, 1 or 2 seconds of black screen and then, when program appears and click on selected contact, all his messages come up....:crying::crying::crying:
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
Clear it's data & cache, then uninstall whatsapp. Then go to www.whatsapp.com and download it from there, the updated versions usually get released there first. Hopefully that should work. Also, try deleting any whatsapp folder on your sdcard. If you've got things saved, back them up, then delete the whatsapp folders.
[HTC Sensation] camomilocamo:
OK.....thanks....i¨ll try this....I always wipe data & cache when having serious problems like this. But, in this case, never unsinstall whatsapp and then wipe. And always last version of whatsapp on Market, but not on their webpage....

Thanks again....I´ll tell you if it works...:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Enable Auto-Sync.

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Auto-Sync
[HTC Sensation] camomilocamo:
No way man.....that´s not the point.....I have installed tons of roms from eclair to 4.0.4, always the same basic programs. Some of then need sync and auto-sync is always enabled....like mail,viber,weather, etc.

I give up !!! don´t know what more to do....install new whatsapp version from it´s homepage v2.8.381, uninstall erasing data & cache....wiping cache & dalvik in rom...

Thanks all of you anyway....(may be a hardware problem, but I don´t think so.....)

[General Questions and Answers] marcopolver:
Hi guys!

Sorry for my English but I'm Italian.

Well, I'm new here in this forum and I hope to make this question in the right category.

I'm buying a new smartphone in a few days, but what should I buy? HTC One X or LG 4X HD?

I prefer the LG for its design, its removable and larger battery and the microSD slot. The Optimus UI 3.0 is beautiful, too...but there aren't any root or ROMs while instead there are lots of awesome ROMs for the One X ( that has also got the Sense 4.0, fantastic! ).

So I'd like to buy the LG but I think it's better to buy the HTC. What do you think?

Thank you very much :)
[General Questions and Answers] vcrp94:
Depends on what you want, the LG has a bigger removable battery (2150 mAh) (One X has 1800 mAh) and Micro SD slot, the LG has 16 GB internal expandable to 80 GB (Micro SD) and the One X has 32gb internal. In terms of screens they are both the same size and both IPS, the One X is more colorful and the 4X has more natural colors, they have the same Tegra 3 under the hood and both have 8mp cameras. Its more a matter of taste or if the Micro SD slot and removable battery are deal breakers to you the 4X is your choice.
[General Questions and Answers] marcopolver:
Thank you very much for your answer.

Anyway I need more ideas to make a choice.
[General Questions and Answers] marcopolver:
Ok, sorry for my mistake.

Anyway, what's better? The One X or the 4X HD? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] parental92:
if i were you i dont want to touch LG's smarhone, yes they look shiny and great at first, but wait a couple of month youll be moaning for update, my friend use the optimus black still stuck at froyo.

so HTC is better on update process, but i suggest either you wait for the new nexus, or buy galaxy nexus. its already got jellybean!:D

i know hardwarewise it will not perform as good as onex but youll get pure google experience
[General Questions and Answers] alain00795:
Mmmm not sure about that

You can still get a pure google experience using custom romsss

Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?

I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.

I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fgkmadmike:
if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doctorj1:
yeah, i looked there, but the only options are LTE- verizon internet and EHRPD- verizon internet

does anyone know if the EHRPD is cdma only?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Freshgeardude:

hoping someone can write up a quick and easy app for toggling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Waldo_:
Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KrisPeezy:
^this is truth and the most popular way to switch to 3g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] byproxy:
so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
you want cdma auto (prl). CDMA Only won't give you 3G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tdetroit:
Switching back to 4G

Quick Question....I've used this app to bump my phone into 3G and it works great, but now I can't get it back to 4G. I'm with Verizon, and I've tried all of the LTE settings in the drop-down menu. How can I get my 4G back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I'm in the same boat. I used this app to turn off 4g but now I can't get it back. What's the trick??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
If u are using jelly bomb theme there seems to be an issue with getting back to 4g. If u aren't just select LTEcdmaevdo and u should be back to 4g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I'm running Beans's rom. is that the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
I had to flash back to stock to get 4g back. I re flashed synergy and stopped using the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tdetroit:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tdetroit:

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoandGeo:
This is the third time this has happened, when my phone battery completely dies I can not simply turn on the phone after it has charged. It will simply be stuck on the boot screen for hours on end if I let it. The only way I have been able to get my phone usable again is from a reinstall of the stock ROM or a custom ROM. I have tried wiping cache, but I will still get stuck on the boot screen until either the phone dies or I pull the battery.

Normal behavior or a defective phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Wich rom are you on? Try flashing another kernel.. I had that issue with stock jb.. Flashed francos and the issue its gone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoandGeo:
First time it happened I was completely stock 4.0.3. Second time I was on a slightly modified 4.0.4 ROM with a franco kernel. Now it happened on 4.1 w/franco kernel. I will try flashing the same kernel over and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Try doing a fresh install meaning wipe data/factory reset.. Wipe cache /wipe dalvik and don't forget to make a backup of your apps and data just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoandGeo:
A full reinstall (wipe data/factory reset) is the only way to get out of it it seems like. But this shouldn't be normal behavior, right? Happened 3 times in the 2 months I have had the phone, no other Android device I have owned does anything like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
I had similar issues with the GSM model. Along with when switching Bluetooth on it does a soft reboot. I suggest sending it back under warranty as it is most likely faulty hardware if the software changes makes no difference.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AthrunIJ:
So i followed the guide to install the cynogenmod. What i get is that only when i plug my phone on charging mode it works fine until i take it out from charging mode it boot loops. any help?

followed this thread guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600833

EDIT: if it will help. After boot loop for a few minutes, it just stuck on the fxp logo screen and the LED notofication shows purple colour. Btw, my phone is a xperia play r800i. Thanks in adavance for any assistance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Is it actually booting our are you just seeing the charging animation?

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Did you flash the latest kernel?

Have you tried using logcat to see what the problem is?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AthrunIJ:
forgive as i'm new at this.

do i need to find a kernel for the fxp 7.2? or it has already in the cm7.2 itself?

i'm pretty sure i unlocked my bootloader as after i followed a guide. my phones data been wipe after unlocking the bootloader.

the thing is my phone can boot up to the homescreen after a few second it freezes then reboot and the cycle continues for a few minute then it jus stop in the fxp logo screen

as for logcat i have no idea what is that. Sry for my ignorance in this field and thank you for your reply.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
The kernel is included in the zip file you downloaded, but it needs to be flashed separately via either fastboot or flashtool

Follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 to set up adb/fastboot (just copied first link off Google)

My signature has a link on how to use logcat.

No worries about the ignorance mate, we all come here to learn.

:P

Pax
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AthrunIJ:
basically, the boot image is the kernel itself that you need to flash on the computer using a command before going into cwm to install the cm7.2?

if so, i have done that.

if i use the cdma version of the xplay cause the boot loop? as mine is gsm?

EDIT : the post you gave me. i've read it but it is still so complicated. do i need to revert back to stock rom and try again to install cynogenmod? If so any suggestions?

EDIT: i think i screw up the part where i need to copy and paste all the stuff into the platform tools. izzit important in doing so? The android sdk thing.

EDIT: anything else in your opinion would cause this boot loop? likerenaming the rom and gapps?

EDIT: Been poking around the internet and found this, is it possible that my battery calibration is off and causes the boot loop?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
True to that pax!!:D

As for ur problem, just flash a stock .ftf via flashtool n let ur phone boot up like always. After ur phone boot up, just search for guide in doing all that BEFORE u try again. Make sense right...:) Hope u'll get it right next time.:D Gud luck.:thumbup:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
1) CDMA version will not cause bootloops, if i remember correctly, instead it'll justmake you loose baseband (the ability to use your phone as a phone)

2) Nope, instead (wasn't thinking, last night) click on my sig, the link that says "Link to my mediafire folder (R800x goodies) & click on SDK Tools & download the windows version (assuming you have windows.) Extract them to C:\android.

3) See above, it's the shortcut ;)

4) Renaming the rom & gapps zip doesn't actually influence anything, i've renamed stuff all the time to make it easier. Did you wipe data & cache before installing the rom?

5) Nope, never heard of battery calibration being off & causing a bootloop.

Pax
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
My guess is, the kernel n wrong cm7.2.zip:p Mybe u should search the stickies section for flashing guide, unlocking bootloader, etc. Assuming this is ur 1st time flashing.:D Mybe u should try pax's rom n see if it boot correctly.:p But u not cdma right?? So my above suggestion is the way out. Go for it!!!:D

Thank you guys for your help. as for flashtool, i remember theres u need a tft file. so i remember there is a UK generic 4.somthing which i remember was my stock rom build number i think. i'm using r800i in malaysia does it work? and after that, do i need to download another 2.3.4 tft for that matter?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
Theres a .ftf collection on the dev section. Just pick any 1, download n flash via flashtool. That should get u to the begining again.:D After that do exercise caution in doing anything to ur phone.
