[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
My point exactly. Avast uses available Wi-Fi along with GPS to track in real time, displayed on a map. I don't believe you can use 3g for that. Avast has the siren, tracking and other features. My-spy has the call feature. Avast will automatically turn on GPS for tracking if it is off. Turn on a siren when you choose, for recovery. Text is for if you want to use your cell. You can do everything from a computer. The thieves will not know, as all this will be hidden, unless you lock the phone. M-Spy can review the text and call you back so you can listen to the noise around the phone without the perps knowing. These two together fit what it sounds like you need. Avast is free for the FULL version, forever. I am not sure about the cost of M-SPY.

So if there is no Wi-Fi available then your solution won't work? That sounds far too risky for my plan to work. The country where I live does not have ubiquitous free Wi-Fi access, especially in the shadier parts of town where the thieves are likely to reside.

You do not use Wi-Fi for tracking, really. You use GPS and my recommended setup will work

Is your phone rooted with antitheft root installed? Avast uses GPS and Wi-Fi, if Wi-Fi is available, to track the phone. Research it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClearD:
Lol.

I'm a little shocked at someone asking me if my phone is rooted, I'll admit I was literally speechless for a second haha.

What I meant was that I have it installed already but haven't checked out the tracking yet. I tried it once with the gps turned off at work, and wasn't sure how to turn the gps on to see the unit. Theoretically, gps is one way, isn't it? It grabs the satellite signal that's beamed down and triangulates the position. So it would need some sort of data to send that data back to the end user online. Given that wifi access points are not guaranteed among criminals, I'd cast my vote for finding some way to turn on mobile data from the app also.

Btw, he's using an HTC Inspire most likely running my Rom. Yes, I'm sure it's rooted. ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
HAD to ask. rotflmao.:silly:

when you installed avast, did you install the antitheft feature ROOTED? IF SO, Access the app on your phone and view all of the settings for it.Also, go online to AVAST and login to your account. Avast will automatically turn on the GPS (NOT Wi-Fi??) on the target phone, SECRETLY. you can set it to report position at any interval. Avast has many more functions, also. maybe the one you mentioned.

AGAIN - LMAO HAHAHAHAHA.:cyclops:

P.S.

M-SPY does the phone listening feature.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClearD:
I tried it when I got it (yes root installed with anti theft in the system partition) but I couldn't get it to work the first time for some reason. I'll try again tomorrow night and see if it works now. It's been a few versions back. :)

If it does work as advertised, I'd count avast as one of the easiest and most cost effective options you can find.

Sent using XDA-funded carrier pigeons
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
EXACTLY!! IT'S FREE.:D

Make sure you have setup ALL of the options. ANTI-THEFT and SETTINGS options. It is way easier to send commands from a computer but the "friends" numbers can send the text. on smart phones with a decent size screen, you can send the commands from the browser. one last thing- make sure avast has administrative rights. either in settings or anti-theft options.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZippyDan:
I'm not sure if you just don't understand how these things work ... the phone uses GPS to track itself: yes. But how to get the GPS data from the phone to me in a different location? The GPS data must be sent wirelessly from the phone.

This requires WiFi or a Cellular (4G, 3G, Edge, etc) connection.

I cannot track the phone with a GPS connection alone.

I can't rely on WiFi to be available wherever the thieves end up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak-venom1997:
I told you about the app but you weren't interested bad luck bro

Hit Thanx Button if i helped you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
The regular data on the phone will work fine. No need for faster data transfer such as Wi-Fi or 3g. Remotely turning on and off the data can be googled. Maybe there is already a way to do that.

go to the google market and search for XTRASEC PHONE LOCATOR. Sounds exactly like what you want!!

Sorry if I come across rude but try the search function. Everything I have posted to you, I used GOOGLE to find.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZippyDan:
just FYI followup to anyway looking to do the same...

Android Lost (androidlost.com) is an incredible tracking tool and completely free! (though I recommend supporting the developer by buying the "premium" version, all the "premium" features are also available for free)

Also, Avast! Anti-theft as recommended above is also great, and it does report over 3G or Edge or WiFi

[Nokia Lumia 920] jonny4:
About to attempt a Factory Reset, any advice to prevent brick? I backed up my phone and it has the latest firmware, it updated to 1314 last night. I would rather not have to do this but I am having an issue where my WiFi doesn't want to re-connect when I get home without a reboot and other small Bluetooth issues. I really need to see if the WiFi issue fixes itself after a factory reset because if it doesn't I will get AT&T or Nokia to replace it. It is fully charged and on the wall plug waiting to start. Any advice would be appreciated.
[Nokia Lumia 920] skrundarlow:
In my experience you've just got to do it, there's not much that can be done to prepare for it. My 920 has never had any issues with a factory reset, many others haven't either. I do have a theory though that American 920's (ATT) are more prone to bricking (mine is Australian) but I've not got much to back it up, just a theory.

Just go for it. Worst case scenario you'll need a replacement, but it should be fine. Good luck! :)

[General Questions and Answers] vance09:
So I have been using Dolphin Browser for more than two years now, and I recently found out that I had downloaded a live wallpaper on the Play Store a while back (not sure how long ago). Well, it turns out that this app has a permission allowing it to read and write my internet history on a "Default browser". Now I am worried that the app is malicious and actually sent my browser information to the developer, as it had network access (and why would a live wallpaper need to access my history and bookmarks anyway?). I know that Chrome allows other applications to read the browsing history and bookmarks as it says so in their privacy policy, but nowhere on Dolphin Browser's policy does it say that they allow apps to access such info. Do you think I got hacked? Does Dolphin let other apps see its data? I emailed Dolphin support yesterday but I have not heard back from them yet. Any help appreciated, even if it is just an opinion on whether or not my data has been compromised to some weirdo who likes spying on people for whatever reason.
[General Questions and Answers] Mranggapo:
AFAIK its just ad. the dev want to acces your default browser history and bookmarks just to send ad. dont worry man :D:D:D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTeeXDA:
I recently rooted my phone.

All went fine, I got into CWM and did a factory reset. Rebooted just fine. Tried to back into recovery to flash SU. When I try to go back into recovery I get the Android with the red examination mark on the belly. Tried re-flashing CWM, did not fix it. Tried rebooting into bootloader mode, got the red LED a couple times, but the phone did boot back into regular mode.

Tried erasing cache through fastboot and reflash CWM, now the phone won't boot, it'll boot into bootloader mode when I try to enter recovery, it just show me a black screen. No led.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

UPDATE: Flashed a newer version of CWM, seems to be working fine now. Should I be worries about the red LED?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhairplane:
Red LED in itself shouldn't mean too much unless you are having other problems as the LED is configurable. I would be worried if this issue continued to pop up.

Is anybody else having problems with usb debugging mode not working? I have been trying to root with CASUAL all afternoon and I can NOT get usb debugging mode / adb mode to work. Any suggestions on what I could do to make it work?

Thanks guys/girls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
I'm having the same issue.. just bought it and this is driving me crazy! I'm i the process of removing drivers and crapware from verizon, and then figured I would try drivers direct from samsung.. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1stx2:
It's absolutely crazy isn't it? Please let me know if you figure out the problem. I don't consider myself a noob about rooting/romming/etc but this is making me feel like i just started today!

EDIT:::: I finnally got my phone to connect to my moms laptop but it still wont connect to mine. I got CASUAL to recognize the phone but I'm kind of scared to do it now since my first phone connected perfect the first time and when I started having other problems and needed to send it back and usb debugging WOULD NOT work. I don't want to leave it stock but I don't want to go through what I went through with the first phone again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1stx2:
Ok, I finally got my phone rooted, unlocked using casual. I had to use my moms laptop ( hp, windows 7, 32 bit ) to unlock it, our desktop ( windows xp 32 bit ) to use odin and my laptop to transfer music, vidoes, etc..... Now i absolutely hate installing drivers and windows in general. You would think being 1 of the top-of-line smartphones, **** like this wouldn't be so difficult. :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
It seems this is a driver issue.. I still couldn't get it to work. I'm guessing that either the old GNex drivers or maybe a windows driver. I recall having a similar issue with another device and I had to go through device manager and remove certain drivers and install others.. That doesn't explain the failure I had with linux thought.. perhaps my adb is out of date??

After updating adb removing/installing various drivers in an old XP install was able to get the phone to be recognized by CASUAL, but casual would would reboot the phone to a "Downloading" recovery screen, and just hang.. CASUAL seemed to be waiting for this screen, but could'nt tell that it had it ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1stx2:
Yep that's the same thing that happened on my windows xp based desktop, it would boot into download mode but it wouldn't recognize the phone. It's got to be a driver related issue though. I had similar issues with my gnex but that was nothing compared to this catastrophe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
I finally got mine done.. gave up on windows drivers and went back to linux.

I had to switch to a disto that used gksudo & dpkg in order for the CASUAL app to work properly (..my distro of choice is PCLinuxOS, but it doesn't use gksudo or dpkg).

[EDIT 1] "compatible" devices: Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Galaxy Note 2

I'm looking for the apks and want to check if it works on the Z, just out of curiosity

As long as I have been informed, the procedure should be:

1.- uninstall current facebook and facebook messenger

2.- install the new "facebook home"-friendly facebook apk

3.- install the new "facebook home"-friendly facebook messenger apk

4.- and finally install facebook home apk

So there's the procedure, I'll report back to you as soon as I can get my hands on all of the apks
