I used to work for a network provider in the UK (O2) and its a simple case of making the numbers and worrying about delivery later.

I see you're based in the US, my comment re 7 day cool off period may not apply as its a UK based law as part of the Sale of Goods Act - you may want to check what your version is.

I don't have any experience of TMob over there at all. In the UK, I have found customer service to be excellent and if the phone is not in stock then its taken off the site.

I think you'll love it from my experience!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] oac966:
Sorry, newbie to this forum so still setting up profiles etc. but i am actually based in the Uk and have ordered it from the Tmob uk website so hopefully the 7 day period will apply + i think with their new street coverage you can also return the phone in 14 days if u find that the street coverages is not what u expected. (but i could be wrong.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MDACompact:
Spot on. Be aware though that any usage you incur (GSm/GPRS/3G) will be charged as normal.

UK customer services are great (in my opinion), i've only got good things to say about them.

let us know how you get on with CoPilot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] oac966:
That is expected. after all i am using the service!! Do u know by any chance is making video calls in included in your allowance. I have taken the one which gives me £34 worth of allowance per month + wnw (£7.50),. but cant find anywhere where it says video calling in not included in this option!. So is it safe to assume that it is ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shabba007:
I see t-mobile have removed the option of buying the Vario II without copilot!!!! i didnt really want Copilot as I've been using tomtom for many years and dont see why I have to pay for something I dont really need. Well at least I think they've removed the option as cant see it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] grunef:
the 34 is only for use for voice calls to UK mobile and land lines ( eg. no 0845 etc, ) UK text ( no premium ) mms and Voicemail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tubbyman:
My advice would be to accept the package and ebay the CoPilot reciever and software as it retails at nearly £200 i think so you would make a fair chunk of money back or just phone telesales and i'm sure they would be able to help. As has been said before the customer service is excellent i'm very happy with my plain old Vario and CoPilot its excellent software
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MDACompact:
Nope - Video calls are charged at 15ppm and are classed as outside the bundles - least that what I've got from the Tmob website. Probably best to have a scout round on their site - I found it in the faq section. Failing that check with CS folks.

MDA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MDACompact:
probably means that they are out of stock on those devices without the CoPilot bundle - speak to CS for advise.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tubbyman:
i'm trying to get hold of an MDA compact 2 but the prices people pay on ebay are rediculous didnt realise they were so popular on their particularly the pink ones

I am currently on stock unrooted 4.3 Canadian I747M (rooting it later on) and was wondering if I could flash any custom roms for e.g. PA, CM or Quantum? After rooting it of course. And if I could, I've read that having different bootloaders will brick the device so is there anything i'd have to do before flashing those roms?

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
Being on stock 4.3 you should be good to install any of the latest custom ROMs, as they all work on 4.3 bootloader/modem

OK, I know it's a known issue but I haven't seen yet any solution for that even bit a temporary one.

It's impossible ?!!

Is there something I can do to fix that?

Haven't gotten a chance to download the Xposed module yet because I'm not near Wi-Fi right now(I'm on a shared data plan thru Verizon.), but as soon as I get home I will try it out!! Nice lookin webpage, btw!
[Android Apps and Games] awakener777:
So everything worked great until I tested out lost mode from the website. It locked it down, set to aggressive. Seemed good until I tried to unlock with pin and it says my pin is incorrect. So I I hit forget pin and select my email address and I get a message saying "ouff,sorry. We cannot send pin to *****@gmail.com.

Please help.

Edit: it finally sent it to my email address. It sent a pin I definitely didn't choose but it worked. Locking down works pretty well. I'd like to figure out what caused this to happen. All in all seems good. Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Hi,

If you lock from web console, it will lock with a random PIN, not your pre-set PIN. The preset PIN mainly uses for SMS Command and lock the app itself.
[Android Apps and Games] awakener777:
Oh I see. Wouldn't the use rather have a pin they chose so they can unlock it if they find it? Or an option to change that? Any idea why it took so many attempts to get the pin sent to email? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
I believe it's more secure with a random PIN and regenerate every when you lock. You can obtain new PIN on the web.

In the worse case, you can request an unlock code as screen below

I am using XPrivacy but allowed everything for this app and deactivated restricting for this app. But after a reboot Theftie locks my phone because of a changed SIM card. I deactived alarm for changed SIM but cannot activate it again because Theftie can't find a SIM card.

I removed my phone from the account, deinstalled Theftie and rebooted my phone.

Installed the app, did not open it, allowed everything in XPrivacy and deactivated restricting, rebooted my phone, checked XPrivacy, opened Theftie, logged in, deactivated SIM alarm, tried to activate it again, did a reboot, activation unsuccessfull.

I don't know if XPrivacy is the problem but Theftie can't find my SIM card. So after every reboot Theftie thinks I am using a false SIM card.

I am using a Xperia Z running AOKP 4.4.3 nightly.

Not sure why but I cannot call my girlfriend. I can call everyone else but no matter what method I use to dial her, it always opens up the theftie app. I had her number as the the reporting number but alas, even removing it the results are the same.
[Android Apps and Games] davelee1054:
Am I the only one thinking this entire service is really sketchy? How are you able to provide this service for free? How are you making any money? There are no ads and no premium addons. Probably collecting personal data without user consent and selling it out to companies. I'd beware of this app and if you have it already make sure to lock it down with XPrivacy or just get rid of it entirely.

In the app's settings, there is an option to hide app icon. If enable, you will set "Phone number to open". The default number is 1234567890. This number may be the same to your girlfriend's number. Could you take a look at this?

Hi davelee1054,

We are a small team building Android apps. We're working hard to build apps. Please check my profile on XDA forum. Check out term of service/privacy policy. We don't collect personal information for money. We don't force you to login to use it. Several features of the app is still working without login with you Google+.

This app is still in early stage and has bugs. It's free for now, just like many other services do during the early state (Dropbox, Feedly, Google products, etc,...). We don't promise this is 100% free of charge in the future since we should paid for cloud and coffee for my team.

Cheer,

Kernel: DN3 custom with Aircrack support.

Every time I open Theftie, and I enter my pin, it asks me to enter it 20 more times. And it doesn't load the app itself. Meanwhile, after 3 wrong attempts it took a selfie and etc etc etc.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Hi,

Theftie currently runs on a Google App Engine. Google App Engine, through actions by Google or local governments, are not available in some locations. It is our sincerest hope to find an ongoing solution to serve these areas, but currently that solution is not available. We are committed to better serving the global community, and will make a full announcement any time our service area expands.

[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
If you install something, you are surely agreeing to any permissions it requests. So, if you have downloaded it (or any app frankly) and not read it's permissions, then that is your fault and nobody elses. Do you think Google don't use the info from Device Manager . . . Or Now, or any of their apps to target and monitor you?! Do you think any free app is inherently dodgy?

P.S. I'm not saying this app is sketchy, far from it, I love the idea, and think getting it for free while it is in development is great. If I didn't already have a Cerberus subscription I'd be using it right now probably. :good:

bug

Hi. First of all gratz for a great app. all must have installed this. i want to sublimit a mini bug :)

If i want to activate lost mode via SMS everytime when i send the sms the phone is going to lost mode but the pin is alawys 1234 and not what i pin setted.thats is happening only via SMS, hope u will fix it :). Thanks you

and also a tip: u should add the reporting no. and call back button on the lost mode too, not only on lock mode. TY hope u will answer.
[Android Apps and Games] anaya1213:
How do I get into the app? Yesterday I set it up, and it was fine.

Installed it through xposed.

Think browser neutral. ?
[Android Apps and Games] awakener777:
You're right that's exactly what I did. Not sure why! I need to be more sober when I set things up. Okay working great thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thanks for the bug report.

The call back button shows only when you send a call back number (currently available on lock command). You are right, if no call back number set, it should display the reporting number.
[Android Apps and Games] zerro4cool:
ya, thats good to show reporting number and also get a call button when lost mode is on, maybe if someone find the phone can call back the owner immediatly. At the moment the owner need to send a msg or activate lock mode to show his number. For example if i lose the phone now and i notice tommorow, in this time the battery may end or the founder can change him mind to return the phone :P

if u need anything to test or if i can help u with any pls contact me. im thinking this aps its verry good and can make verry good things.

Awesome app mate. So fast execution of commands. Just loved it. Thanks a lot.

I want to know whether this app survives factory reset? I saw one guy commented in google play that it survives. So just wanna know :)

I have some small suggestion.::

1. add SMS command to toggle Mobile data internet

2. Toggle GPS on/off via SMS

waiting for your reply mate:)

It's Cool BUT, Here is some feedback ' if you wish':

1. Simplify the web interface!

" Actually while testing it i couldn't now the features.

2. let me control the files uploading

" like, pause - stop, from the user application and the web page"

3.the master key Didn't work

Ya i have forced towait 15 minitues then used the recovery key

4. about sms:

Simplify the description :D
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
OK I set this app and went online to test it. First time the master key worked after 2,3 tries. Now I it won't work and am getting frustrated. My phone is locked and the master key keeps returning wrong PIN number. How do I disable this app so that I can regain access to my device?
[Android Apps and Games] Stuart Little:
Best app!
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Thats a good question I have never thought about...how can I disable the app if I have forgotten my PIN? An option within the web interface would be great I think! :)

Hi,

can I use Theftie paralell on a Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) LTE?

I'm using the same E-Mail-Account on both Devices!

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

One more question.

Any Thoughts about making the App visible again within the App-Drawer?

Nexus 7 (2013) LTE => No Phone => No Dialer!

Anything else but uninstalling?
[Android Apps and Games] Dreiundachzig:
Visibility can be set in settings of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] TiZiO.Cover:
Very good. And if it is hidden already? [emoji1]
[Android Apps and Games] Dreiundachzig:
Open dialer and dial 1234567890. This is the default number to open the app.
[Android Apps and Games] TiZiO.Cover:
It's a Nexus 7 (2013) LTE.

No SIM-Card. No Phone. No Dialer.

I've changed the Settings in the Device Administrator and uninstalled the App already, just wondered what the DEV had to say.

And since it can't send SMS, there needs to be a Way to send a Message to an E-Mail-Adress.
[Android Apps and Games] anaya1213:
Would it be possible to make this app work while skiplock is active?

Every time skiplock unlocks my phone, your app stops working.

Skiplock is an app that automatically unlocks your phone when you connect to your home network.

[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:

I updated the app and now i am unable to open it using 1234567890. before update it was working just fine. Any methods to open it?
[Android Apps and Games] Satertek:
Updated to 0.94 this morning. After resetting my phone at lunch, I was locked out with a invalid SIM card alert despite not touching the SIM. I had never touched the SIM Change Alert in the options. (And when trying to do now so I am not given any "trusted SIMs" to choose from)

It may have been caused by the su setting being revoked for some reason after the update. I had to go into SuperSU and switch it back to grant. Now the device starts up fine although it is still attempting to upload the backup data to the cloud. Maybe it's working, but I'm still unable to set a trusted SIM. (I don't know if that was working before because I hadn't tried)

Edit: Turned it off to let it charge fully, now backup notification is gone and I'm able to set my trusted SIM. Looks like it's all good. Posting just in case anyone else has this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Looks like the sms command to turn gps on or off doesn't work ?

The sms command to turn wifi on or to dial a number are working fine.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Is there a way that theftie could prevent the sms app from displaying the message from the received sms command?
[Android Apps and Games] Dreiundachzig:
What did you do to activate SIM detection? After update I still can not activate it. I logged off, reinstalled Theftie and logged in again but still can't turn it on.

Not sure, it wasn't working, then I charged the device from 0%->100% while it was turned off. When I turned it back on everything seemed to be working again and I was able to set the option.

Locked out of my phone. Really locked out.

Ok I am getting nowhere with support so I will ask for help here.

Theftie has locked me out of my phone. A new Nexus 5.

It randomly went off (alarm and all) while I was on an airplane earlier today.

And because I was on a plane, my phone was, and is, in AIRPLANE mode.

The only support I have received so far is to go to the theftie site and get an unlock code.

Mind you I cannot do this on my phone. All I can do is enter a Thieftie pin. That is the ONLY option my phone gives me.

I have gone to the site on my iPad and the code it gives me there doesn't work..

To top it all off, I have just arrived on a business trip in Manhattan, and am now without a phone, which I very much need tomorrow.

If I reboot my phone, I am greeting with a piercing alarm which I cannot stop (this also went off on the plane, thanks!) and then allowed the pleaser of entering PINs that do it work.

I am beyond frustrated at this point and the lack of support for this app is horrendous. I would love and cherish and useful advice which might get me back my phone and save me from having to go out and buy another one.
