Been a member for a few years, but generally just read and give thanks. However, over the weekend I ran into some issues with my wife's phone and was hoping someone might be able to help me out.

The problem started on Friday night and has persisted through last night. Random people are receiving phone calls and texts with their caller ID showing my wife's phone number on their caller ID. At first we thought it might be crossed signals and did not pay attention. Until last night when the calls were escalating in a manner that we finally contacted the police. Unfortunately they said there is nothing they could do as no criminal act has actually been committed and to contact our service provider.

We contacted T-mobile and all they said was to change numbers, which we are going to do when she gets home from work. My concern is if they somehow cloned her phone or I dont even know what is possible with technology would they not have all of her IMEI information to just repeat the process?

Her phone is a Nexus one running CM7.2

I wanted to know if anyone has heard of something like this before. If so any suggestions or what to do besides just changing numbers.

Thank you in advance!
[General Topics] BabyHuey:
there is an app called caller id faker in the market. i think there is many more also. basically you type in the persons number you want to call and then type in the number that you want to show when her phone is called. i don't think you can find out the number who does it. idk. maybe im wrong. but i would definitely get your number changed. because you can't block the number because it doesn't show up as the number using to fake the id. hope that helps.

i searched on google and found a fake texting site. that's probably what they use for the texting.

[General Topics] deypapun:
i have heard of nearly similar thing..dont receive unknown calls bcoz what they are doing is cloning the sim card contacts and that can really cost u a lot.

Did you checked up your wifes phone for malware or something like that?

Sent from my brain using my fingers
[General Topics] xiche:
or it might be an infected app?
[General Topics] linuxmanxxx:
Its either a clone phone or a site sending spoof text msgs. If its all text the latter but if calls are involved it would be cloned.

[About XDA developers] SachinShekhar:
There's no restrictions on size of signatures. 1 or 2 line signature is fine, but most of users write big essay here. Even big photos can be found in signature.

Signatures just make the thread ugly. They just reduce the value of screen real estate. And, they make the webpage heavy, too.

The Awkward Situation: The post is 1 line long, but signature is 100 lines long.

There must be restrictions applied to signature size. I think, user profile is great place to enter big details.

If not, atleast, allow users to hide all signatures with one click.
[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
This topic has been discused a number of times and the outcome is always the same, if you think someone has got a signature that is to big then you can report them. I feel that this will never change, as signatures sevrve a good purpose if used in the correct way, penalising everyone because some members go over the top with their Sig, i feel is a wronge way to go.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
What s.d. said is correct. Also, you can hide all signatures under your Edit Options page. Technically you uncheck the box to display them, not "hiding" as such. If you use Chrome you can also use Archer's XDA toolbar to selectively hide signatures and more.
[About XDA developers] SachinShekhar:
Thanks..

That's the thing I was looking for.

What. The. Actual. F#&*

Seriously, some people are missing a brain or what?
[About XDA developers] SXUsr:
And it's that scale of size I believe the OP is referring to, and think any mod seeing sigs of that size should have a word. The irritance of seeing such signatures is on par with posts that have quoted 10 scroll posts to reply with one line.
[About XDA developers] Tom9:
Information like what phone, ROM, baseband one is using should be tucked under the username in posts, like how they categorise information in Personality Cafe. Signatures should be limited to a certain overall length. Oversized images should be automatically resized.
[About XDA developers] SXUsr:
Possibly to the users screen size. I've got 1920x1080 display on my laptop as I suppose quite a lot of members do so what might be gigantic to some is normal for others, although the screenshot above is still over the top no matter what screen size anyone has.
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
If a users signature is too big just PM the user and tell him about it.

If he disagrees you can PM a senior mod who can trim it down.

I usually suggest the use of

tags if there's lots of information.

example
[About XDA developers] ZaLiTHkA:
While this is definitely not a solution to the root of the problem, I have a temporary workaround for users with overly bloated sigs...

There's a browser extension called Stylish (Chrome | Firefox) that allows you to load custom CSS rules based on the current browser URI. I've set the following rules, among other minor tweaks of course... :) This way large sigs get scroll bars.

.postContent .postsig {
max-height: 250px;
}

I don't want to have to miss out on potentially helpful and interesting info in logical people's sigs just because there are people who think their sig is their own personal copy of Pinterest... :eek:
[About XDA developers] Kangburra:
I have done this as I view on a Netbook and the scrolling was awful, I click on a user and view their sig in the profile if necessary.
[About XDA developers] juzz86:
I would always recommend hide tags to anyone with images in their signatures. They allow you to have all your content, without forcing everyone to see it, every time you post.

Archer's toolbar was also mentioned, and this is an excellent option also, allowing you to hide the sigs of selected users, not just all or nothing :)

And yes, if you see something ridiculous, either report it, or send a PM to your friendly Forum or Senior Mod. We're only too happy to help :)

For anyone who flashed my modified launcher and is bothered by the fact that voice search can still be activated, here's the stock launcher in flashable zip form.

http://www.mediafire.com/?l89erxebp8n50bt

I apologize for any inconvenience or time wasted.

I've tried setting all focus and clickable attributes to "false" in every xml file that references "search bar", "qsb" and "voice search". Voice search can still be activated when you tap the top right corner of the screen.

Rather than let people install something that doesn't work as I intended it to (and there's another launcher mod on here anyway) I decided to take it down. If I figure it out some time, I'll repost, but I might not have to since FufNuf has the same thing going.

Check out FufNuf's thread for essentially the same launcher mods.

Mods, feel free to delete this post whenever you'd like.

Cool I'm glad you like it. When my kid goes to be tonight I'm going to edit the margins. I like having everything fill the screen more. I'll post a few with smaller margins.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
Removed glowing indicator from single-screen launcher, added three wide launchers. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
What is a wide launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
See the screenshot. Widgets, the dock, dock icons, dock divider, and app grid fills more of the screen. I didn't know what else to call it. Since it's a launcher, and everything is spread out over a wider area, the most logical short name I could think of at 2AM was "wide launcher".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badenglishihave:
Awesome, margins would be a bit better if smaller.

Also I noticed that the top right corner of the screen glows as you move between home screens and when you press that corner Google voice search comes up. It's as if the search bar is still there, just not visible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
There are stock sized and widened in the OP

I just followed the directions on that tutorial and thought I'd share what I did for myself. That's really weird, and not good. Thanks for telling me. If I can't figure out how to completely disable the search bar, I'll just take this whole thread down.

Update: Actually I think I've got it. Testing now, then I'll take down all the links, fix them all, then reupload them

[Nexus One General] taodan:
Did your wife download any app that could use your wife's phone number to appear for outgoing call? What you can do is do a factory reset and then flash the ROM clean (i.e., no downloaded app) to see if the problems still persist. If you have strange calls and wanted to block them, then download an app called Mr. Number to block unwanted calls.
[Nexus One General] jhenson496:
Thanks for the response. She only uses this phone for text and business calls now, so I am going to factory reset, wipe everything and resinstall all apps fresh and only apps she needs.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yazzinit:
Tried finding the answer, not sure if I'm looking correctly. I'm dorming at school next month, wondering if this would be possible:

Connect laptop to hard wired ethernet connection, turn on laptop's wifi, and connect the Nexus 7 to the laptop's wifi. I think this is ad-hoc but I'm not sure exactly. Would this be possible? Would suck if not, kinda screwed in using the tablet then :-( . Thanks for the help
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiggavolt:
Your laptop (I'm assuming it's a Windows laptop?) is only capable of creating an ad-hoc wireless network. You could try this guide if you're unable to connect to an ad-hoc network from your tablet, although I don't have my N7 yet so I can't verify if it works or not.

Alternatively, if your laptop has Bluetooth, you may be able to create a Bluetooth shared network connection. Once again, just an idea - I have no idea if this is possible.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
For @ $20 you can get a wifi router. Why not get one and have wireless internet for your laptop and tablet?

sorry, forgot to add that info. Yes, Windows 7 laptop. It also has bluetooth. I'm pretty good with computers, I just never did this before. Supposedly school has wifi in the dorms, but since it's been years since I've dormed, I'm assuming it's going to be crap due to the make up of the buildings. I wanted to use it in my room. They do say I can bring a wireless router of my own, but I just wanted to cover worst case scenarios.

This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.

It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marsy00:
Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeppler:
Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.

Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?

or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?

If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.

If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevinjgray88:
Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well

Jellin' like a felon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddpacino:
Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VTENGR:
This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
port blocked..

google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228

usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddpacino:
Yea... but I'm on one of these tiered data plans from Verizon where I hit at or near the cap every month. I'm trying to use free WiFi as much as possible lol

FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync

HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.

DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.

What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.

DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE :D

On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotFudgeSunday:
In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Devendrakulkarni5:
Fix is here

Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now

I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.

All you need is "Rooted Phone"

1.Install : Root Explorer

2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer

3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).

4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.

5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer

6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.

7. Reboot your phone...

8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.

Thanks.
