So after getting to the end of the thread it is still no clearer other than:

the only two people are talking about is UTA v3.5 and Mobile Justice.

i can provide UTA v3.5 and the plugins if someone can do a decent review of the above two softwares.

I really would like to know which is better!!

PLEASE :p:o;):rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
This probably won't help, but I don't think anyone has mentioned RemoteTracker (apologies if they have - I didn't read the whole thread).

I've been using it for a while and prefer it to WIMP and UTA (the only other two I've tried).

Further info at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394203

http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/

Most importantly it is still under active development (I'm no so sure WIMP and UTA are).

It's the first piece of freeware project I've ever donated to so that possibly says something (other than I'm tight with my money!).

i've been putting smart phone tracker on all my friends ppc's just to mess with them, but i use sprite terminator and haven't had any problems (sprint touch pro). i do understand that if you hard reset, it'll disappear like everything else, but at the very least, hopefully somebody less inclined will jack it and i can just go to their house with a baseball bat and do some damage.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] twisted-pixel:
I'm using UTA3.5 . I haven't had any problems with it as yet, but to be fair I haven't given it a full thrashing.

Originally I was disappointed because I purchased the software based on the abilities it had on the main page of the apps creator. Only to find that in order to have the SMS redirect and GPS co-ordiantes, I needed to buy the add ons!!.

I think this has been changed now though so you get everything with just one purchase. Additionally, after a soft reset when UTA runs automatically, a warning message appears stating that this file is from an unknown publisher and asking me if I want to run. This can be hidden but only by disabling such warnings. Without disabling them the thief could just ask the file not to run (hardly secure is it!!)

anyhow, I did some testing and have the outcomes below.

Firstly, I had two sims...let's call them sim1 and sim2. sim1 was my real number and sim2 would be the potential thiefs.

I programmed UTA to send alerts to sim1 (which in any real sitution would be the number of a friend or a back up sim).

Then I inserted sim2 into my phone and sim2 into my spare phone.

The first thing that happened was that sim1 received an SMS telling me the details of the new sim card including the sim serial number and telephone number (at this point I could have texted back with the lock commands and locked the phone).

Then I sent an sms to the sim2. This would be the equivalent of friends of the thief texting him.

An sms was then recieved on sim1 giving me the contents of the text, and the number from which it came. The same was received following someone phoning sim2, I received a text telling me the time of the call, the phone number that called etc.

I have not tried the GPS co-ordinates application as yet as I was inside a building and the results wouldn't have been any good, but I will get round to it one day.

on the whole, I'm fairly happy with UTA. as the first thing that a thief is going to do is put his sim in the phone...as soon as he does, I have his details!!

so, my redmi note 7 is stolen, sadly it's in airplane mode before it was happened, i tried to lock via mi account and via google find my device (hoping that it will go online and lock the device out)

my phone is running miui 11 (first update to 11 after got miui 10 for so long) and in stock condition, never root or ubl the device

how much probability that i can get the device and probability the thief got it unlocked? cuz there so many tutorial for unlock or bypass mi account :crying: thanks xda
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Skake:
The possibilities are there but I think "the thief" won't waste time unlocking your account ... it's much easier to format or reinstall a fastboot rom or with the mi tool And then create a new account ... or use a tool like miracle and unlock and format it.I'm sorry for you to lose a phone is never nice (I only destroyed them but never lost) but I can understand your discomfort.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovusDeus:
Hi all,

I still have an older Samsung Bada-phone with a version 4 OmniROM running on it and I have to say their old boot splash is probably the best I have ever seen, both desktop and mobile.

You can see the one I mean at the end of this video: https://youtu.be/fB0fR81z3Nc?t=493

It's of couse super cute and also quite intelligently made, as it seems the blinking and ear wiggling is randomized (although I'm not sure about that), anyway, it could be.

Since they have a new splash now and this seems to be dying out, I'd like to just "keep it", either for nostalgia or maybe also as an inspiration if I ever need anything similar (I've done some front-end design work in the past).

I've worked a bit on Plymouth splash screens before, but nothing serious, so I don't know where to start on Android. Can somebody tell me how to extract those splashscreen files from the system or where I could find them, considering it's open source anyway?

Kind regards! :)

Two weeks ago I found a TMO G960U laying on the sidewalk. I brought it home, charged it and waited for someone to call it so I could give it back. Well no one ever called so i guess its ok to try to use it. Its not blacklisted, it is however blocked on TMO. But id be using it on att.

Its sim locked and it also has FRP on. Its running tmo december security patch

G960USQS7CSK3

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
so u literally "found" a phone and made minimal attempt to return it to its rightful owner (you could try contacting the carrier) that you claim isnt blacklisted but yet it doesnt work on its originsl carrier (sounds blacklisted to me) as well as it has frp on which is there for exactly this reason and you want someone to help disable the security and unlock it so you can use it urself?

awesome sauce
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] themow:
Yep I found it. And there is a difference between blocked and blacklisted.

I've been a member here for 8 years. I'd use a throw away account if I was doing anything shady.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
haha and it gets better, hes now saying when he does shady stuff he just makes a fake account to do it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
there is a major difference between blacklisted and carrier locked. i agree that the OP should call TMO and give them the IMEI so that they can then reach out to the rightful owner. From there, they would have to turn it into the police to allow reclamation to occur within the limits of the law. After the required time allotted by local laws elapses, and the phone is then returned to the finder, if not the original owner, it can then be considered legally owned and therefore unlockable etc etc etc. The police station will issue paperwork showing that it has been released to the person who turned it in and that would satiate me regarding offering help to unlock. Short of that, we will not help the OP do anything with this phone.

[MENTION=4230831]themow[/MENTION] we can definitely offer assistance in cases like these, but XDA does not support usage of phones when ownership is a grey area. There are laws in every state regarding things like this, and we do not condone actions that bypass said laws
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] rupert3k:
Unsure how your local laws work there are but here if you hand things in and the owner doesn't claim them in three months they become your legit property.

Once I found a newish bike and contacted the shop with the serial number to look up who bought it.

Shop was hopeless, took it to the police station, gave them shop details.

To my dismay 3 months later cops called saying come get it.

Anyway that's what I'd do, at least then your conscience would be free.

Ended up giving the bike to some addict (already got 4 bikes) but was bummed the shop didn't record serial numbers.

If you decide not to return it the procedure is to flash it using Odin but last June Samsung implemented something called KnoxGuard which can remotely lock misplaced devices (like iPhones).

I'm sure you've heard about people tracking devices & getting the law involved, as unlikely as that may be it could contain pictures priceless to the owner.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I found a phone in a park. I tried charging in order to see if any owner info was available. It's been a while, but I think it wouldn't power up.

It was a Verizon phone, so I turned it into a Verizon store. I figured the carrier could find to whom it belonged.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
you should have turned it in to a Sprint store, just to mess with them :D totally kidding, what you did was spot on. Youll never be able to claim ownership of the phone that way, but if you had no want in owning it anyways, then que ser a ser a?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Yeah, I think it was a Samsung. I just knew it wasn't mine and someone would be wanting their phone back. I would hope someone would do the same if they found mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
I think im safe saying this on behalf of everyone who has ever lost a phone and specifically from those of us at XDA, mods or not, thank you. Im the kind of guy who will stop my car and help people push a stalled vehicle, and i bet you are too. Just 2 weeks ago, i stopped and helped a lady put gas from a gas can into her vehicle because she couldnt get the spring loaded top to work in her gas filler spout. I ended up with gas on my hands and my next stop was the grocery store to buy vegetables for a soup i was planning for dinner. Having gas on your hands makes veggie shopping far less pleasurable than without LoL

I have Google GMS on my device and it works well. However, without Google services, the device functions quite normally, you just don't have Gmail, Youtube, Maps, Music, Keep, Duo and the other Google apps. Most you can get access through a web browser and they work just fine. Youtube is full of ads anyway. You can download and install YoutubeVanced which is a far better app without all the bull**** that Youtube has. It's the Google "Nerds" that want Google services, but quite honestly, the phone is fine without them, you can learn to live without Google always spying on you. HMS will eventually catch up with GMS and may even become better, who knows. Do not let the lack of Google put you off buying one of the best designed and made mobile phones on the planet. Google is NOT everything. Why do you think they are begging the merican administration for extensions to keep working with Huawei and others that the arsehole Trump deems unsuitable for mericans to deal with?

I was on 6.3 and blocked updates cause I liked the layout better. Then I think in November Netflix wouldnt work unless you were on 8.0.1 or higher. I never got around updating it because I didnt want to go through the hassle of flashing it again. Last week I finally got the time to do both my 16gb and my pro 500gb and flashed the 16gb image to the pro. Bricked. Contacted Nvidia customer support and said I was on 6.3 and pressed the update option and after that it wasnt working. It would light up green but say no input on the tv. They wanted receipts and all that and I said I got it at launch in 2015 at best buy with cash and just wanted to pay them to reflash it. They just offered to replace it. My 16gb works fine, got the replacement pro Wednesday and updated it to 8.0.2. Netflix is still not working on this one so they are going to send another replacement.

If it says APX mode in device manager in Windows, its bricked. Nothing you can do. I would suggest contacting customer service, tell them you saw notification to update and downloaded it but after install its not working anymore.
