[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
No, I go through T-mobile for service, but my friend had an upgrade he wasn't going to use, cause he has the HTC One Max that he bought outright and doesn't wanna change anytime soon (plus he owed me money) so he let me use it, and I got the White Nexus 5 for 49.99$ so technically I still have a claim (still good for a lil over 30 days, they give you 60days to pay teh deductible once the claim is approved) that I can use to get one. That deductible is 90$ (when I lost my Note 3, OMG they wanted like 175$) so I can get two Nexus 5's. So this time, I believe I will pay both deductibles when i get paid next week, then sell both, buy a 32GB white one from Google, and then use the rest too pay that months bill on T-mobile !

Then if it happens again, I am gonna be pissed, cause I don't think I will be able to file another claim. Don't even know if sprint or T-mobile or AT&T etc etc, offer insurance if you buy the phone from Google instead of them. Which is a good question, if anyone happens to know the answer to it, please let me know. Or else I will google it, and I don't wanna google it, cause I am in the midst of a 40day 40day, vow of no-googlesearch. Not joking. I've always been pretty good at comprehension, reading and vocabulary skills (music being my main skill, since it was a skill my parents and family nurtured from a young age. Played my first guitar solo back when the guitar was still taller then me lol) And my parents always made me look things up when i asked what a word meant extra, but now google has made us, especially me, lazy. So i wanna prove that I can still function intelligently without using Google to answer unknown questions, by instead researching by talking to people experience in whatever subject etc etc. This may sound so dumb to many of you, but I think it's a good idea to do at least once after being the first generation raised on the Internet (I am 27 and I've had an email since I was 10yrs old lol)

OT - (not that this whole thing has not become OT, I am just so damn bored without my phone right now, homealone for the night, GF at work, and no band pratice, this is normally phone mod and/or dev time, but I need my phone for that, tho i could do some work on my App without it, but that makes me sad right now, cause i want my phone haha)......ANYWAYS - I've yet to meet a single other musician, let alone, a Guitarist, on this Site and I've been a member since 2011. If anyone who see's this is a Musician, especially a Guitarist and Producer/Engineer (just graduated Music School, Music Production/Audio Engineering & Music Theory/General Music) say wats up in here, and let me know I am not the only Musician who's a closet tech/android/computer geek lol

Look into the app called Cerberus.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus

Flash the hidden version from the following link via a custom recovery:

https://www.cerberusapp.com/download.php

It'll survive a factory reset, email you the info from any unauthorized SIM card someone puts into it (including the phone number, service provider, & subscriber ID), and as long as the phone has service you can still control it (lock it with a pin, ...) through text messages (no internet connection required).

Also, the paid license is valid for up to 4 (maybe 5) devices. I have it installed on my girlfriend's, brother's, mother's, and my phone. As far as those apps go, it's the best I've found.

Better luck in the future
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Don't mean to sound rude, and it's harsh it went missing, but why did you 1. Leave your phone on the table in a public space, and 2. rely on your girlfriend to pick it up? My phone is in my pocket unless it's in my hand or on my work desk. I would never leave it in the open for anyone to take. Maybe I'm just less trusting of those around me but at least you're insurance covered things to an extent. Lesson learnt (I hope) :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorgtech:
Same thought here, why would you ever leave your device on the table ? I´m not paranoid, I use a antitheft app just in case I somehow manage to lose my device.

What also seems to help against muggers or similar bad dudes is a rather "ugly" or very plain and simple looking case. A Spigen Slim Armor "smooth black" is a nice case but it also makes your phone look from far away as being a cheap, generic smartphone :)

I don't want to try and make you feel bad but... it isn't 100% your girlfriend's fault, actually I would say it's 80% your fault, you can't expect people to take care of your things and do it perfectly, no one will take care of your things like you do, just for the fact that they didnt buy them in the first place, they don't know how much they mean to you, also don't forget she is not your assistant , sorry I feel your pain but I'm on her side and I am a man :cowboy:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whozilla:
I think you folks are generalizing it. Its his girlfriend. "I gotta go drop a deuce, wanna grab our things and meet back at the moto?" "Yeah babe" that's hardly a reliance on his girlfriend. Its more of a " hand me that hammer will ya?" Truth be told. You are all correct. He's better off grabbing his own stuff. .....

That's what she said
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CellPhish:
Dang man that really sucks. That's why I never trust anyone with my phone even my gf I always make sure I'm the one looking after my stuff. When you get your device....I HIGHLY recommend you to get Cerberus Anti Theft. This app can track your phone on Cerberus website(you have to register to do these BTW), flash a white screen on your phone and leave a message, have an alarm go off while the message is being read, and the person who stole it can't stop it unless they input the correct password you sent to your phone. Whenever that person puts the wrong info, it will send a picture with the front camera and send it to your email. You can even make your phone take a picture with the back camera. The best feature is being able to know the person put in another Sim because the app will detect it(it has your imei saved in Cerberus server) and Cerberus will email you the person put another Sim with another number. There are a lot of features that I can't think of but trust me it's worth it. With these I'm pretty sure you'll find the thief.

Edit:eek:H and you can video capture :). Sorry for the longggg post bro I have my phone on loooooooock pretty much. Funny thing is I have no lock screen pins or password. The thief will think I'm am idiot for not having one but he doesn't know the secret of Cerberus ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
At the very minimum, report it as stolen. Who knows - cops might be able to get Google to track the phone based on IMEI and its access to the play store and find out who has it now - or at least mark it as blacklisted so it can't be activated on several carriers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
Here's some advice that will prevent it from being stolen again in the future:

PUT THE PHONE IN YOUR DAMN POCKET

Are you serious? It's not "stolen" if you leave it on the table in a public fast food restaurant and walk away. Even if it's just to the counter/garbage, once you leave the table you can't expect it to still be there when you return. I've never had a phone stolen and I never will (even after living in NYC with multiple iPhones). Why? Because I keep my $400-$900 device in my hands or in my pocket. Why would you put it anywhere but those 2 places? Is it such a burden to keep a 1/3lbs device in your pants?

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

I'm not trying to be rude, but this post is the most scattered thing I've seen on XDA up until this point. It's all over the map.

Beyond that, you're using the ability to claim loss to T-Mobile as a way of screwing the company out of $$$ because of your own negligence? Fairly certain that's against the forum rules.

Lastly, if you buy a Nexus device from Google, no carriers will offer any type of warranty/insurance without purchasing it as a separate policy. You'd have to buy insurance from a third-party (which exist, and actually aren't too pricey).

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Wow...an extremely self-entitled point of view. It wasn't his girlfriend's fault, I'll grant you that, but it also is not the fault of the person who took it. It's completely his fault.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
Thats why I never let my phone on the table. Always in my pocket :)

Anyways, sorry to hear that..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:
Report is as stolen anyway. Someone knowingly took something that didn't belong to them. File the report with your local police department. They may not enter it into the NCIC database because the value is less than 500$ but if they believe it may travel across state lines it can be entered regardless. Either way get it blacklisted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Did you break up with her? Hah, just kidding.

Whoa man. Pump your breaks. The earth will keep spinning, I promise.

After someone steals your phone, it is considered stolen. I don't know what you're getting at.

Yes, you are. Saying that you're not trying to do something, then blatantly doing it doesn't make it all right.

You're assuming his insurance policy doesn't cover theft. I'm assuming (and I better be correct here, OP) that his insurance policy does.

Again, assumptions.

The theft of something is not the fault of the thief? Okay. Let me know how that goes in court.

You're all missing the point really, I think there is an important lesson to be learned here: DONT EAT A MCDONALDS!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
Wow you white knights are doing a great job protecting the OP.

You know why I said it's not the thief's fault? Because the thief never would have gotten a chance to take the phone if the guy didn't leave it on the table. It never would have happened aside from him doing that one action, so the fault lies entirely with him. You can't blame somebody for taking something that's sitting on a table with nobody else there...people aren't saints. What you *should* do is take care of your possessions like an adult.

Johmama: I didn't say his insurance policy didn't cover theft...you must not have read his post. He's going to make 2 claims to get new phones (not just this one), sell the phones for money and use the money to pay his cell phone bill. He's not *replacing* his phone with the claim he was talking about in the post I quoted...he's using the claim purely to get money from his cell provider.

Beyond that, it's not "stealing" if somebody picks something up from a table after someone left it there. The legal term is "Larceny", and it doesn't pertain to open property (meaning: property that no-longer has an owner). In this case, he could report his phone as missing to a policing agency, but since he left it on the table and walked away it wouldn't be larceny.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft

I work for a policing agency. It happens a lot. It would be a theft report. When a person takes something that does not belong to them in america its called theft. The found property must be turned over to law enforcement for a certain amount of time. If the owner can not be located in the time frame set by that municipality the property or money can be given to the person who found it. Its called the finders keepers law. 20% of people will never steal. 20% will always steal. The rest will steal if they have the opportunity to get away with it.

Don't be ridiculous, a crime of opportunity is still a crime. If I found a phone, I would return it to its rightful owner. Only a scumbag would keep it. It's pretty sad that you're defending the actions of somebody who would keep something that doesn't belong to them. This is a wonderful world we live in.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] abrewer0820:
Looking for some help, please.

I have a T-Mobile G2x P999, unlocked. I am using it with a Straight Talk AT&T sim card.

Running on stock, I have no issues with data connectivity.

However, I have been unable to obtain data connectivity with any Custom ROMS. I have tried a few (including Genesis). I am currently using the Paranoid Android P999 CM9 ROM. Except for the data connectivity issues, I am really liking the ROM.

I have the ability to make calls and send texts. But when I look under Phone Status, it says "Unknown" phone number, etc.

I have tried adjusting APN settings, as well.

I have searched forums high and low both here and on other sites, with no luck. I apologize if I have repeated someone's question, but if it is out there, I missed it.

Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help you can provide.

Straight talk does for $45, but I wouldn't recommend them. You could always just try it though. BTW, it's not really unlimited, it's 2.5GB at high speed then the rest at 2G.

there is... if you find 4 other people, and get a 10-15% off corporate discount from t-mobile

then get a t-mobile simple choice family plan with 5 people. base account price of $110 split by 5 people = $22 per

add in $20 for unlimited data = $42. add ~15% fee/taxes, minus 10-15% discount... should be under $50
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
With or without throttling? Straight Talk's base plan is $45 unlimited with throttling. I don't know off the top of my head, but I think there are other MVNOs for about the same price. As for unlimited everything without throttling, you're not going to get that for under $70/month. There is no free lunch.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Throttling would be ok. I'm comfortable with 1.5 to 2 GB at LTE.

500 MB is a bit low though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Well like I said, you're not going to get a free lunch. If you don't want to pay for it all, you have to accept throttling and/or limited airtime. AIO offers 2 GB for $55/month. Net10 has 2.5 GB/month for $50. GoSmart has a $50 plan with 5 GB/month at 3G speed if you can live with that.
