[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmoney239sucka:
4g is coming to my area in weeks and my GS3 gets poor reception at my house so I use a Airwave system from sprint. Will I be able to get 4g speeds with my Airwave On and also for people that have 4G in their area, has your 3g and and reception been improved?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] criptix:
No airave is mainly for calls. It can provide evdo speeds if your connection is 3mbs+ dl. But it will only be up to evdo speeds. Wifi will be faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mackentosh:
I was told the airwave only works off your internet modem and that its only for those that are dropping calls not data

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmoney239sucka:
I got a 2.5. Maybe when 4G comes ill get better signal strength and be able to get rid of it. Called Sprint and said it will only let me get 3g speeds when it's turned on. He also said they are improving signal and data reception in areas that are getting LTE so I shouldn't need it much longer

[LG Optimus 2x] Jordan~Kurniawan:

[LG Optimus 2x] Jordan~Kurniawan:
why ?

just remove the battery >> re-insert it and then hold power button + volume up ..

if you still cant enter cwm ..

i think NVflash wil be the last choice ..

but your internal data will be erased ..

(at least thats what i know)

i hope theres someone who can help you to not loose your data ..

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zzoinks:
My wife's AT&T One X just started doing this weird thing where instead of the normal crop interface within the stock gallery app, it's putting boxes around any faces it detects and won't let us do a "normal" crop (with the resizable rectangle). How do we get rid of this? Just want to resize a picture and we can't.

Stock ROM, HTC Gallery application.

Thanks,

- Brett.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sapped:
I just noticed the same problem with my HTC One. I don't know which moron thought this was a good idea but it need to be gone and soon! I can no longer crop a photo to just include the people. It's a lone face or nothing. Who thinks that junk is useful?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Try going into camera settings and turn face recognition off. It may work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eug:
Didn't work, unfortunately. What a stupid idea. How often do people create contact photos?

Has anyone found a way?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
It works perfectly on sense 5

Sent from my HTC One XL running super smooth Sense 5
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eug:
Not on my HTC One with Sense 5. I turned off face detection, took a photo of people (faces aren't detected), then hit Edit, Transform, Crop. The "Touch a face to crop" message pops up immediately and the faces are highlighted. I can't custom-crop unless I go through a slow process of tapping a face and expanding the crop boundary several times, making it zoom out bit by bit.

I'm on 1.29.841.2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Works just fine for me on CleanROM 6.5, and on past ROMs I've been on. Crop "frame" starts at a face, but I can resize and reposition it, as you would expect to. Face detection is "on" in camera settings. I don't think this is an issue with the way the feature is designed, but maybe just a glitch on certain devices/ROMs or a setting issue.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I went to a job site (a car dealership) and left it in the drivers seat. It was raining and I'm guessing that with my tools and boxes, that I forgot to lock it with the remote or it did not lock. I didn't notice it missing until I went to my second job and went to hide it (which I normally do). I didn't hide it at the dealership because I was only planning on being there 20 minutes that turned into 2 hours.

I looked everywhere, being in denial, but I distinctly remember putting it in my car because it was raining and I had to conceal it while I ran out to my car.

Kinda sucks. Not only because I'll have to buy another one (I just bought one from Walmart so I can exchange it when the 32gb comes out), but also because I had a $20 case on it and an SGP Matte SP. I blame the iPad Mini. Thats probably what they thought it was!

I know there are plenty of threads about Anti-theft stuff but I'm kinda in a rush to push something to it from the play store. Ceribus or something rings a bell. Any suggestions?

I just installed Cerebus but I don't think it'll work without prior setup. I downloaded Plan B but I'm not sure it'll work either because it mentions it will only try to locate within the first 10 minutes.
[Nexus 7 General] kitsunisan:
Unfortunately I don't think there's anything that will provide any security without prior setup. Everything I've seen needs to be configured.
[Nexus 7 General] agtitan:
Lookout plan b... its on the market. You can push it to your device from the market website
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Yea I pushed Plan B. It went missing some time between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. I noticed it gone about 6pm. After driving back to my office to check my desk, back home, walmart, and home, it is now 11pm.

If I'd stolen a device, it would have been factory defaulted the instance I had a second to do it.

I'm in pretty good with the staff at the Dealership. My gf also works for the same group (different property though). She said they have security cameras all over. I'll get them to look at the tapes and see who it was.
[Nexus 7 General] droidnext:
Feel sorry about your loss. I don't think any security app help it, it's useless IMO. If the thief is smart enough, he/she will disable gps and wifi. So there is nothing you can do about it.

[Nexus 7 General] agtitan:
Keep us posted
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Not to mention that if you unlock and root your device you can install Cerberus as a system app so even if they do a factory reset Cerberus is still installed and active so you can track it. In this case only the thief smart enough to actually flash it with a new ROM will be free and clear. I don't remember how much it cost...I think like $1-2 was it, so even if it only gives you a 10% change of recovery...isn't that worth a couple bucks?
[Nexus 7 General] panSpermia:
Dang. I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there; it may yet re-surface. I realize the almost hopeless optimism in saying that, but I`ve had my faith in humanity restored several times when losing stuff in the past. Let us know what happens! ps: Make Cerberus the first app you install with the new tab (or the old one, if/when it`s returned). good luck!
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I talked to the big guy at the dealership and he told me they have security cameras there, so Monday they are going to look at them. Should be easy considering I was there for work and have my exact time there down to 2 hours.

Although I'm not sure what knowing who did it would do for me unless it was an employee... which they could fire them... but it was probably a hobo or a customer. Perhaps then one of the sales guys may know of them and hopefully has their address or something.

I haven't had any emails from those security apps that I tried...

I was thinking after I bought my new one that no only am I out the tablet but the $20 case and $20 SGP SP. So almost $300.

My mother-in-law suggested to claim it on my homeowners insurance because I had a tree fall on my home and I already paid my deductible for the year (which might be per incident). I have yet to call them yet. Probably do that Monday too.

[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Sorry guys, no happy ending this time.

I had the guys at the dealership look at the cameras and they found that the camera where my car was parked was out of alignment and thus created a gap in the coverage. They said they saw my car drive up and disappear. The only thing they saw was a guy walking down the street but was unable to see if he actually stole it.

So either an employee new of the gap and took advantage or I just have the worst luck ever.

So goodbye N7 16gb + Poetic Case + SGP Ultra Fine Matte SP

Being optimisic:

At least it wasn't $600 tablet.

Disappeared at a great time, just when Office Depot had the 32gb out.

I emailed Poetic and SPG about my device being stolen:

Poetic is sending me another replacement

SPG gave me a lucky discount code for my next order of $7.77 lol

Yea I lost a tablet, but I probably would have ended up selling it for the 32gb and probably would have only gotten $150-$175 for it. So this is the price I'm considering lost. Sucks but whatever.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Ironically when an incident happens, there is always something conveniently happening with the cameras.

Sorry to hear.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
One Question..

Did the guy who checked the video take the tablet.. Are you sure well nevermind. Guess you gotta trust someone..

We had things missing on a construction site .It ended up being the security people who kept saying the cameara keep going out .. When the police finally checked the cameras there were laps in the interior cameras. The camera in a lit parking lot across the road during the time lapse on the interior cameras . saw none other then the security packing buckets to his truck.. go figure...
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Well the place was undergoing some construction for sometime and are finishing up. They said the cameras could have been moved during all the chaos by accident or hammering or something.

They did spend a few days visiting all of the properties making sure there were no more gaps in coverage and updating all of their software. So maybe I did them a public service by having my tablet thieved.
[Nexus 7 General] johnrippa:
I also saw an app that took pictures of whoever is using the device with the forward camera if the wrong unlock code is entered and emails them to you. Forget what it was called though.

[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Is it your missus or tablet?

Sorry bad taste joke again.

I am genuinly gutted for you, but I agree with another poster, I'd point at the security ...
[Nexus 7 General] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Did it have a Lock Screen set? Was it encrypted? Security on WiFi only tablets is a catch 22: If you set it up properly, none of the apps can do anything, as the thief can't connect to any networks. If you allow that, you basically give up all the info on the device.

[Q] If you set up Cerberus, rooted, beforehand - it will report even if the thief does a factory reset and then connects to his Access Point? The only thing that can defeat it, is flashing a new ROM?

RF
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Yes, that's what I said a few posts back... on a rooted device it can be installed as a system app.
[Nexus 7 General] leshake:
If you can't get it back via looking at security camera footage, you may be out of a tablet.

I've tried Cerebus on my N7 (got it on gnex) and I really can't imagine it being any help. First it relies on a data connection to even be aware of being stolen. Second, it requires commands via text messages which would be impossible with a N7 even with Google voice or something like that. Even if you can get some third party app to pretend your tablet is a phone with a distinct phone number and the ability to receive texts, you have to then somehow get the Cerebus app to recognize text messages received from that app are useable (assuming the thief decided to connect your N7 to their home network like a fool).

Having a screen lock feature (perhaps automated with Llama or Tasker to activate whenever the N7 is disconnected from your home WiFi) is your best bet at securing your personal info. Of course doing that forgoes all of the Plan B methods..

[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I don't think you understand how Cerberus works... I've been using it for about 4 months now and I've never once had to send a text message to make it work. I use the web interface and I can take screen shots, record audio/video, track movement, snap photos, and a whole slew of other stuff. If it's installed on a rooted device following these instructions:

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.

If that method doesn't work, you can manually install Cerberus in /system/app this way:
- Uninstall Cerberus from your device
- Download Cerberus.apk and put the file on your sd card
- Open a terminal emulator and execute:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/Cerberus.apk /system/app/

- Now Cerberus should be installed in /system/app. Try to open the app, log in and see if it works.

You have an even better change of catching a thief. As you can see it even auto-enables GPS so when the person does connect to WiFi it will send all the GPS data so you can see where it has been and where it is. Only a very tech-savvy thief would be able to get rid of it.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
nvm
[Nexus 7 General] doctahjeph:
I have seen many people state on some different sites that I go to that they don't run any kind of lock screen security on their devices. The thought is that if a thief can't unlock it they will just reset the whole thing. If they device is unlock-able then they think the thief will play with the device and even put on their WiFi allowing the anti-theft programs to do their work.

[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
OMG people the tablet it's already stolen there's no way possible to install any security/tracking app. :banghead::banghead:

BTW

Any techy person know if tablet/phone is lock you just go to recovery and factory reset. Then restore stock ROM to eliminate any security app installed as system app.

If you want to keep current ROM then search in system folder for any security app and unistall with root unistaller ie: TB (disable network)

That's what I will do if I found a device and can't find owner.

But the chances of a techy thief are slim to none most thiefs are DUMB lol
[Nexus 7 General] aalupatti:
You dont need to bang ur head...

The application i suggested could be remotely installed ( if u read my post correct) .

You just need to have ur google account still active in the tablet and hoping that whoever stole it connected ur tablet to the internet.

When i lost my phone, it did not have this application installed. The person who stole it did not even know how to unlock the lock screen. Thanks to widget locker :D

What it basically does is send u info from the phone like gps location and some other logs...

Also the reason i posted it was for other people who will see this thread when their device is stolen.

I am sure my post was not for you , especially the way you think.
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
For a phone okay but nexus 7 is wifi only if the person can't unlock screen how can he/she connect to network to push that app? Unless it's not lock and the person setup a new wifi connection then, well that app could work. But there's too many variables, in that case owner needs some luck. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] aalupatti:
If i were to loose my tablet , i would try everything possible, as long as it does not hurt...

:good:
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Well I'm sure its long gone by now. Google says it wasn't online with my gmail account since it was stolen. Guy probably factory reset it 5 minutes later.

That Lost Android app also requires SMS to activate which is a fail on a tablet.

I didn't use any lockscreen security outside the standard default. I've chalked it up as gone.

I've been thinking of ways to help prevent this kind of stuff. I think I'm going to clean out my glovebox and keep it in there. I never thought about it but the smaller tablet would fit in there. I also purchased a Portenzo book case. I'm sure Thieves aren't interested in books.
[Nexus 7 General] afrojoc:
That would work. I usually hide mine underneath a jacket or just somewhere where it can't be seen from the outside of your car. And I wouldn't count on thieves not being interested in books lol. If they get in I'm sure they're going to find whatever cash or valuables they can find regardless. Anyway I hope you invest in an alarm for your car or if you already have one then I recommend using it. Its a cruel world full of crooks and you can't really trust anyone.
[Nexus 7 General] catfish7:
Lookout mobile security is possible to track your nexus 7 and wipe it to reset to factory.

Tried it a couple of times just for testing purpose.

However, the person who stole your nexus 7 should need to be accessing internet during the instruction from their online panel.
