[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
Thanks Haxtreme, I've installed Plan B via Google Play online and I picked my SGS2 device and it said that Plan B will be remotely installed to my phone.

But is this relying on the sim to deploy the software to the phone? I don't remember punching in my IMEI number for my device on the Google Play store at any point. Does it already have the IMEI number? If not, how do I update that on the Play Store so it knows where to remotely install the software to?

Thanks again for your prompt reply!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
No it uses your Google account not the sim. as long as its got a connection to the internet and is linked to your account, it'll get installed irrespective of whether the sim has been changed or removed. The IMEI and google account are linked the very first time you boot up a phone and it asks you to enter your mail id or create a new one.

The fact that it shows up in your list of devices when you log on to Google play via your desktop itself shows that its still linked and your account hasn't been deleted from the phone.

what if the thief wiped the phone and/or flash another rom?

would plan b still work?

I am interested because ive got my phone stolen too :(

Now I think prevention is better than cure...

Can anyone guide me to app or tracking system? So that in case my mobile is stolen I can get back
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
1) u can use 'Avast' antivirus which has 'Anti theft' functionality.

2) u can try some third party apps like 'Cerebrus' from stores and see:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinasnow:
Well I am sorry for the loss of your phone but listen buddy... All these software stuff is not really gonna help because i don't believe they can give you any pin point location of the thief. What i did successfully, when my Galaxy Note was lost previous month. I had the original IMEI number and i had contacts in Law Enforcing Agencies of my country. I requested one of my friend there and he asked my IMEI number.Few days later, he informed me that my number is being used by someone and his calls are being tracked. Yet another few days later, he asked me to come by and collect my phone. When i visited his office, i found the thief locked and my cell recovered. The guy told me that while listening to his calls, the thief eventually revealed his location, while giving someone his address for collection of something. So Police caught him at the address. I dont know about your country, but if you have someone in these kinds offices, they can surely help. Thanx

One thing I dont understand is how a cheap GPS system gives mostly an exact global position,but these phones with all them tracking software dont.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
theres not alot you can do unless you have a connection in mobile providers so they can track your imei number, if they found a s2 with no sim they would leave it off and use odin or cwm so tracking would be harder
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
I don't think the issue is that the GPS part of the mobile can't locate the position better or worse than a cheap gps system. For tracking a lost phone a well working gps is not enough. You also need a working internet connection and a clear view of the sky in order to get a fix. Like any gps system. It is the combination of this factors that determines the quality of a good tracking configuration.

my thympthies .... i hope u find it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Via apps like Cerberus and others you can set your phone to automatically send thief's mobile number via email or sms after they insert new sim. You can remotely get your phone to take pictures and videos (front and back cams), sound recordings. You also create pop up messages on screen (and take pic when they open it), remotely wipe or lock device, install the app as system app and also hide it from app tray.

So a GPS location is just a bonus really.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhwong:
Well thats it, from now on the first thing I do after unboxing my new phone is to write that god damn IMEI number down right away.....

I guess my phone is just gone now :(

Oh well......maybe its time to buy galaxy note 2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesraikikon:
dude its samsung so you have been ****ed one can easily change imei

also u can get imei by calling airtel or your operator and ask them which imei the phone was having :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
First of all I would like to tell you Avast has a very good anti theft feature (which is completely free by the way) if you had root it does allow nand write(for settings I guess) and integration into your rom(factory reset can't remove it then) only a flash operation can remove it, in settings if you had set friend numbers and safe numbers, the moment an unknown sim is inserted, messages are sent to your friends numbers informing sim change (you will get the the thief's number) also if you had enabled it in settings it will force both data connection and gps on too, you can track the phone with gps precision by sending a message (either via sms or their online portal) with the pin code(details are in their site), you can lock the phone, perform a wipe, sound an alarm many other functions. Avast also has amazing stealth technology and starts at boot, so if you want you can jump the thief because he will be able to see only his balance reducing while you remotely control your phone. The key thing you must do is set friend numbers.

Edit : The only way to bypass this security is flashing a new rom. Also it can't be un installed as it will be set as device administrator which requires password unlock.

Using GT - I9100

Just hit the damn help button if I helped you.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I really do hope you had set friend numbers, Avast anti theft was very useful to me as sometimes my little brother "steals" my phone because he adores my s2, and sometimes I get really pissed so i remotely lock it rendering it completely useless, even if the phone is switched off and on it will lock again, unless I type in my pin or remotely grant access the phone will remain locked.

Plan B

Can you please guide me ....how to aplly "plan B' ....plz tell me the steps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Go to the play store via your computer. Log in with your gmail id, 'purchase' the plan b app. (Its free) and select the particular device from the list of your devices, if there is one. If your phone is ever connected to the Internet and still linked with your Google account, it'll get downloaded

Good luck.

How to track your phone

Make sure to remember your mobile phone’s IMEI and store it someplace safe. This will prove to be useful if your mobile phone do get lost. You can immediately use this IMEI number by calling your operator and tell them that your mobile phone got stolen or lost. By giving the mobile phones IMEI number, the operator will block that mobile phone form using the operator’s network. This will make the stolen mobile phone render less. But, if you decide locate your mobile phone yourself; there are a number of services or software available on the web. There is also much free software available. You can search the web for other free tracking devices for your mobile number. However, your operator usually can do the tracking for you. myphonelocater.com

You're going to email Verizon that they have marketing on their website? I bet they know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
You realize how much you just got played right? Not only did that little iphone button get you to stay on their website longer; it got you to take a screenshot of it and then go to a Nexus forum and post on there causing even more people to see their website. AND you are going to contact customer service at vzw in which case they will then try to sell you something after reading your pointless email.

Seems like VERY effective marketing strategy to me.

I turned on my TF300 and then on the notification bar it said it was downloading firmware. I would like to know where the download is? I browsed the /cdcard/download/, it's not there.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sib64:
If you have update by OTA, it's an automatic update.

When the download is finish, it's propose you to install automatically the new version.

And it's sdcard or removable sdcard cause you have two solutions.

I do not like to install the update, so I would like to remove/delete the download. I roughly looked at all the directories, but have no clue where the download is.

Here is the kernel modules compiled with samsung stock 4.0.3 kernel, but versiontag corresponding to work with Romswell 1.1 or stock P3113UEBLH2.

You can load manually and try with mount command or use cifs manager apk.

If you wanna load via cifs manager you have to do a litle trick instead of set the /path/cifs.ko, you have to set "/path/md4.ko; insmod /path/nls_utf8.ko; insmod /path/cifs.ko"

[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Its a "common" HTC problem. 2 of my friends also experienced this with a 2011 and 2010 smartphone. After some time it worked by itself. I also had this for 1-2 weeks and it worked after i cleared camera cache or rebooted (it still occured but after some weeks it was gone completly). If you want clear your system cache in CWM or install a new ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] techmatlock:
My phone is rooted, on jellybean (CyanogenMod 10). I always do a fresh wipe on my phone before installing a new rom and kernel. The weird issue I come across is sometimes after you finish the first setup steps, all the apps start restoring by themselves in Google Play, but other times I have to download System Tuner and restore all the apps I backed up. A few times also after wiping my phone and setting it up again, the apps complete settings were backed up and the login information is already filled out and my preferred settings.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
There's a feature built-in (available in the settings) where the apps & settings are backed up to Google's servers. I'm not sure exactly how much data is backed up, but, obviously, sideloaded apps & their data are not backed up. Personally, I've never flashed a new ROM & had my stuff magically restored before my eyes, but I suspect that if you waited long enough, the restore would take place.

The closest I've had is when I did a dirty flash & didn't clear my dalvik cache. Strange things can happen, then.
[General Questions and Answers] blakdrew:
Yes in Google play there is a setting to restore apps automatically. For some reason it is intermittent on when it chooses to work. If your looking for a way to backup and restore your apps I would use titanium backup. It works great.

My Boy! is my favourite. The UI is tidy and easy to follow. It has the ability to disable linear filtering. Cheat support was included with the latest update. I get full speed in all the games I play without needing to use frameskip.

VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy. Also the developer is employing dirty tricks like preventing people with LP installed from using the app.

GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the Xperia PLAY and other single core devices. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and is slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.

Gameboid used to be my favourite until My Boy! replaced it. Both Gameboid and My Boy! are similar in the UI and performance. My Boy! is slightly better in both those areas, and seeing as Gameboid is no longer being developed, it made sense to buy My Boy!.
