First I was using Lookout, but I rly didn't liked that story with the chinese developer that got misunderstood with his wallpaper app because of what Lookout said. Every website was telling ppl to uninstall his app. Lookout got a lot of attention, everyone installed their app and uninstalled the poor chinese app. That wasn't nice :T

Then I went to WaveSecure, from McAfee. I think it's $20 per year.

Never worked on my phone. Tryed the support, even installed a "debug version", but couldn't make it work properly on my HTC Desire. Gave up.

I was looking for another app to replace it and then I met Seek Droid. Was very cheap, no monthly fees and such, decided to give it a try.

Dude, I'm VERY satisfied. It's easy to install, got it WORKING on 5 minutes. McAfee WaveSecure didn't worked for me, but I had no issue with Seek Droid. If I had met it before, could save the $20 I paid to get WaveSecure (I should have tested it first, but saw "McAfee" on it, guessed it works.)

Didn't noticed any abnormal battery drain, I could retrieve the latest phone calls made and received, I could lock and unlock from the website, located very fast (I was using wifi when I tested).

I think that it could report the number of the SIM card and keep the alarm message on the screen, I mean, If I just lose it, I would like to keep on screen instructions to contact me :S

Currently If you "click" on the message, it will go away.

Anyway, I'm another happy customer.

It's very cheap, everyone should give it a try!

I bought it for me (EVO) and my wife (LG Optimus S). Very reasonable price. Easy install and configuration and website control.

We also were using the new Sprint/Assurian TEP app. That has additional features--which I don't want or need (i.e., contacts backup). And, even though my wife's phone also has TEP, their app now says that the subscription has expired--which it hasn't.

I was about to cancel the TEP for her phone anyhow, and this is a nice reminder of why it's a waste for her cheap phone anyhow.

We're happy with Seekdroid and the $.99 price. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gailin5:
sycko,

I have Seek Droid on my Droid and my wife's Droid 2. Love the application. I was wondering if there was a way to get to get Seek Droid to work on my rooted Nook Color? There can be a general location using the WiFi instead of GPS I believe.

Thank you for your time.

How does one set this up? I bought it a while back and never got around to setting it up until today. I launch it on my EVO and it pops up a screen asking for a name and password, and anything I put in it says it's username or secret code is incorrect (obviously, since I've never set up a seekdroid account). I go to the website and it does the same thing. HOW DO I SET UP AN ACCOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Thanks.

Nevermind. Got it. (Uninstalled and reinstalled and the create account screen popped up.)

Also, what if the robber doesn't wipe the device clean, but modifies/disables the internet connection on the device ? Or switches to another SIM which does NOT have internet on it ? Will this program still be helpful in any sense ?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dtwizzy:
hey all XDA's,

I'm on MDJs C7 Gingerbread, using A2SD+ set up correctly (ext4).

now my question. normally, e.g a Desire HD right off the store comes with a all the way clean SD card, and its android just uses it for DCIM folder (or any camera folder) and music of course.

on my sd card are some folders that are hidden for android (.XYfolder) and also some folders for several apps that are normal avaiable (not hidden).

as i'm using A2SD+ i'd like to have a completly clear SD card under windows, so i want all the files mentioned above move to sd-ext.

why are some folders still there? is it because some apps are "move to SD" via android OS? can i uninstall them, then reinstall and they'd be in sd-ext? or anything i can do to swtich them to the sd-ext

btw. my sd-ext got enough free space and i'm willingly to extends the space also if nessecary.

thanks in advance

sincerly dtwizzy

Hi

I've got an HD2 with an Artemis rom and a 2.15 radio.

Recently I installed HSPL 2.08, and now i can't flash anything anymore!

The progress bar just still at 0% and if i reset my phone it boots normally.

I was not abble to flash via SD anymore,even stock roms and radio roms!

Of course i tried to install an other version of HSPL but my phone was not able to! :confused:

I've search all the drench Smartphone sites I know,and no one was able to tell me what was the problem.

Hey guys,

I've got a big problem.

I performed a sms-backup with the integrated backup-tool from GO SMS.

I chose XML as filetype.

Now, if I want to recover them, it stops at 290/786

~500 SMS are missing. It doesn't do anything. just stops.

need your help :(
[Android Apps and Games] zantekk:
fixed it.

there were some special chars (e.g. &xxx;) which go sms cannot handle.

deleting them solved the problem for me.

Hi, I'm having a sort of similar problem with Go SMS and restoring messages, I hope I'm posting in the right place.

Basically, I had a previous version of Go sms and I backed up all the sms and mms data that I needed to before updating the software on my phone (SE X10 Mini Pro) but when I looked in the Android Market I could only find Go SMS Pro so I installed that, but I can't retrieve the messages I backed up onto my SD card.

Is there any way I can do this, or recover the data some other way?
[Captivate General] T90:
1st post and let me start by thanking everyone for all the excellent contributions to the community that help us realize the potential of our Cappy!

I finally flashed my first rom, Andromida 1.0, and I am astounded by the results. I essentially have a new phone now!

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is that youTube no longer shows up as an option to share when I attempt to share a video. It seems that the OS does not see that the app is installed. I have uninstalled, reinstalled several times in hopes that it will be recognized but it has not worked.

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] vunuts:
As far as I know, the share option should be visible in portrait mode and located in the upper right hand corner of the screen. There should be a pulldown menu with 'share' in it.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
i can confirm that youtube is not showing up in the share options. this was not be design by us, but as far as i know, like this in standard armani captivate. we will have a look and see if something is missing. one of those things we didnt notice during development.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Would an alternate mediauploader.apk work or is it missing altogether?
[Captivate General] T90:
All I have is the Sign Out button available. I wonder if it is a setting within my youTube account that is causing this.

When I was running stock 2.1 I would have the option to "Share" a video from within the camera app or video player app. When I would press "Share" a list of apps would pop up and I could choose how I wanted to upload the file... Email, Gmail, Handsent, Whatsapp, youTube. Now youTube is no longer listed.... hmmmm

I'm stumped...

Thanks for your reply!
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
it was missing altogether in the deodexed original build of armani. i am testing one now and will release in an update if it works
[Captivate General] T90:
Ahhh! So its not just me! :-) ok, good to know!

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a Rom for my HTC Evo that is running 2.3 and that has sense.

My buddy told me about a Rom called Sensation? Not sure if it's out yet.

He also told me that Cyanogenmod has a Rom called Cyanogen Nightlines? That's running 2.3 Gingerbread.

I like sense though I've been looking for a long time for a 2.3 build with sense. Are there any? Or are they all without sense?

Thanks for your help
[EVO 4G General] res1bxh3:
CM-7 is gingerbread but has no sense whats so ever its all AOSP. As for 2.3 sense it has not yet been released so you won't find any roms yet afaik

[EVO 4G General] steveojp:
hopefully CM7, and 2.3 look the same no?
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Not at all. As said, CM7 is based on stock Android 2.3, so it's AOSP. That big flip-clock that you get on a brand-new HTC phone is part of Sense. Search Google Images, plus check out the threads for each ROM to get an idea of what it looks like before you flash.

edit: there may be a *few* similarities, but they are quite few.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I don't use CM ROMs because I like Sense. I've tried them out but its just not the same. CM is great for devices that don't have Sense (Epic) but for me its just no good. But ya if you feel its necessary to have gingerbread then CM and launcher are your best bet.
[EVO 4G General] steveojp:
Yeah I tried out the CM7 last night..it's alright. I already switched back to my Fresh Rom. I love Sense. Hopefully they will make a 2.3 with Sense.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
I'm running a CM-7 nightly with 4G included.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902051

CM-7 has a few interesting features. I kind of miss my Sense, but what really prevented me from trying Cyanogen until now was the lack of 4G support. I used 4G constantly at home for tethering. CM-7 is a dark and scary world, but fun too. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it, but I'm going to give it the college try.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it before but "Nightlies" refers to the beta version of Cyanogen I believe. I think they say "Nightly" because they make so builds, they seem to come out nightly...and you end up flashing your phone nightly.

Other than that, my preferred Sense ROM right now is Myn's. Just have to wait for a 2.3 Sense phone to come out or a leaked version of 2.3 Sense for our phone to drop. Once we get that, the Sense ROM devs will start picking at it like vultures. You'll probably see some alpha 2.3 Sense ROMs with cameras and 4G that don't work or some random crap, and then people will sort out the problems like a puzzle. Still though, nothing's dropped with 2.3 Sense in any shape or form, so ... can't really build something from nothing, going that route would pretty much just be like what Cyanogen does.
[EVO 4G General] steveojp:
Yeah I hear ya. Any BIG NEW changes in 2.3 that I will notice if I try and give CM7 another shot?
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
Not really I guess. As far as Cyanogen is concerned, I like being able to add on/off switches to the drag down notification area (can turn on/off wifi, gps, sound, flashlight and lock rotation...tons more you can put up there). That's available in CM 6.1.2 though. The included ADW Launcher is highly customizable. Tethering is inherently enabled without having to have a wifi or usb tether program Again, all available in CM 6.1.2.

Text prediction seems better and it's easier to move the cursor around without having to rely on the HTC Sense keyboard with arrows on it. There "should" be some performance upgrades but I haven't had enough time to futz with it. So... I guess I don't really have anything worth jumping at but I haven't had a ton of time to mess with it.
[EVO 4G General] rhettobis:
I tried CM7 and it performed well but a few sense features that were missing made me go back to Warm2.2. I like the sense calendar widget and how it incorporates facebook calendar events. I couldnt find a calendar app with widget in the market that measured up to the sense calendar. I like the sense dialer as well. I tried Go contacts for cm7 but didnt like it as much. There are a few other sense features i like but those seem to be the biggest.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
umm virus has 2 roms running sense 2.1 and 3.0 over gingerbread. i have tried both 2.1 isn't new all that much seeing we saw it with froyo roms from myn/mik. 3.0 is pretty great but it seems to be buggy but being a port im not surprised.

hi guys I bought my DHD last month form Amazon.UK and im using it here in Middle-east .the phone has never being used in UK. All of my friends got the update but not just me why? is it because im here in KSA and the phone I bought is form UK? why i'm saying all this is because the HTC customer service said ,

''Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. With regards to your inquiry, all the updates that you will receive it on your device OS it will refer back to the UK region because your device is from UK. Thank you once again for your continued patronage.''

what dose it mean that I will never gona get any update like not 2.3 or not even 2.2.1. well finally what I was thinking of now, is it possible if I insert my UK sim card in the phone so it might give update idk i have to look for some UK sims then.

You will loose OTA but the developers on here include all the best bits from OTA updates in their custom ROMs anyway, so you will always be up to date, except a custom ROM will work so much better than stock.... faster, smoother, more stable, bettery battery life etc etc.

As you said you will loose OTA updates but once you revert back to the original stock rom then will you be able to get the OTAs or not?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Yeah, if you flash official again you'll get OTA back... but there's absolutely nothing to gain from OTA updates compared to using a custom ROM.

Seriously, the developers here are a lot better at fixing bugs and problems than the "developers" working for HTC! :D

To make it work you have to install Font Flasher and extract the files to font-default folder (easiest way to find), which is in sd/download/fontlasher .

Then just apply it by selecting an option called "Install Default Font" (in font flasher).
