I know that Android based phones have applications where you can track your phone through GPS software should it ever get lost. Is there such an application for our phones? I'd hate to lose my phone that has GPS capability and not be able to find it. And the thought of losing it and someone else finding it, hack it, and use it for their own personal use would be very more irritating.
And I know that the Motorola CLIQ even has the capability to erase all your stored information on the phone should you lose it to prevent someone from hacking into the phone and retrieving your sensitive information. Again, is there any software for our phones also?

I always do use the "Search" function, but even with sifting through posts I didn't come across the two you listed. Thank you. Maybe I'm trying to be too technical with my searches...
Free web services (and Beta), with "Find" and "Erase" functions, among others:
www.flexilis.com
www.mobiwee.com
I just tried the Maspware GuardsMobile and ended up locking my phone up. It recommended disabling balloon pop-ups and a soft-restart. I allowed that then it gave me errors loading some related tracking.exe file. I tried to enter the default pin and it didn't work. Gave me 3 attempts. After the 3rd attempt the phone was locked! Searched around and came up with nothing. There's not even a guide explaining what happens.
So now I'm forced to reflash the phone and restore my PIM. I do not recommend this program for anyone with cooked ROMs.
I'm going to now play with Ultimate Theft Alert.
Can't find any command lines for Ultimate Theft Alert V35. I don't think I really like it a whole lot as some of the others...think I'll try my luck at Maspware GuardMobile again.
Ok, reinstalled GuardMobile. Activated it (fingers crossed). It recommended disabling the SMS bubbles again and a soft-reset. I let it and amazingly my phone didnt lock up this time when entering the demo password "1234".
I feel much more comfortable trialing this program than Ultimate Theft Alert as they list the commands on their website, and you don't get ANY commands list until you've purchased UTA. So without having any commands to trial the program I will not be purchasing UTA.
Time to play around with MaspWare GuardMobile now...
Ok, just tried to exit GuardMobile and I got the freaking error again!
"An unexpected error has occurred in GuardMobile_TS.exe.
Select Quit and them restart this program, or select Details for more information.
Luckily this time I didn't leave it active while testing. Reset phone and it works. But everytime I try and test the locate or monitor it fails to send SMS. Then I exit the program and it crashes. I'm going to uninstall and forget this program...AGAIN!
Sprite Terminator seems to work so far. Only exception is that I can't use the "Alternate GPS" It doesn't give me a lock on my position and comes up with all ZEROS. Going to keep playing with this.
Had you tried any of the web services I've posted?
They both work fine for me. And they are both free (at least, for now, at Beta stage...).
there's a program called WIMP, i havent tried it yet though
Sprite Terminator works, BUT when it intercepts the SMS code it doesn't text back.

Do any of these programs have a "explode and burn the face off the thief who stole my phone" option?

Well, Flexilis have a "Scream" command, that will make the phone starts playing a rather anoying horn sound, for 30 seconds.
Handy to find a lost device, at least. And to get some atention on a stolen one, but the thief can just turn it off...
Kaspersky Mobile Security 8
Looks like no one has mentioned or tried this software yet.
I've already tried the 1 month trial version and then purchased a 1 year plan which I believe is worth every penny.
It's an anti virus, anti spam, sms and phone blocker and phone locater.
link:
http://www.kaspersky.com/kaspersky_mobile_security?thru=reseller=kmssidebanner3
Features:
Block access to contacts, photos or files on your phone if it is lost or stolen
Get the GPS location of a lost or stolen phone
Encrypt sensitive personal and business data
Remotely wipe your smartphone if necessary
Block unwanted calls and SMSs
Cybercrime and your smartphone
Stop cybercriminals hijacking your smartphone to make money
Block the sending of data to third parties
Prevent corruption of personal data
Hope this helps!

Hmm might be at least a bit useful like you say - maybe a password to turn off sound will be better?
Well, they are in Beta, so accepting ideas and feature requests... why don't you send them an e-mail?
I'm going to give kaspersky a run, it sounds good.

2.2 do not support Chinese？
and will it？
Mine is Diamond，where I can find a lite rom for android.
232603 are you talking about the language support? wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't be supported in the future if it isn't already.
as for a literom, are you gsm or cdma? are you looking for a rom to boot android or dualboot android and winmo?

We haven't built it in. I'm sure we have it in the source though. once the builds start getting more stable i'll start adding those in. For now we just fixing bugs.
Bypass Google Accounts? Or alternatively set it up over a wireless network.
Howdy,
I have been watching the Android development for the Fuze with quite some interest for a while now, and it has made leaps and bounds over the past several months to the point where I decided to try it out.
It successfully booted into Android; however, I have data access to my phone disabled. This seems to cause the Google accounts set up to fail and causes some sort of infinite loop where it keeps asking to set up my account
Is there A) any way to bypass the Google Account set up and set it up later or B) jump on a wireless network (or alternatively jump to shell)?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, i've been using xandroid since last month and everything is running OK except the battery is draining and charging quickly (1-2 hours) which is pretty unusual for normal usage or charging.
What I've noticed that this can also happened even in sleep mode. Did there is any way to preserve battery power? Usually it can stand up to 8 hour on WM6.5 (gps, data connection on).
I am using HTC Touch Pro (RAPHAEL).
Anyway it was the greatest effort you have put to make this device running Android

It is truly a problem when you only get a couple of hours of usage and even on sleep mode. There must be something you're using that keeping the device awake. To test what happening you can use adb logcat and it will let you know which process is kept on running or you can start a new build and test every app individually. Its a lengthly process but in the end if will help you and allow you to achieve greater battery life in the long run.
remap hard keys? my hard keys on the front bottom of the phone don't seem to work other than directional. Is there a way to make them work for back and menu? or remap some keyboard key to back and menu?
i changed the wall paper and then got into the endless xdaandroind logo boot screen. WTF ???? lost everything because of a wall paper from the ROM gallery which suppose to be ok.
A couple of questions about 2.2:
1. Is there anyway we can get slide to answer back?
2. Has 3d been activated on this build?

ROM has no effect on Android, that we've found.
Sounds like you didn't copy the startup.txt... Did you follow all the directions?

Yep there are definitely some stability issues and will create an infinite loop. Until we get the builds more stable these issues will be present

Isn't slide to answer default? Otherwise we'll implement it in future builds
And yes 3d is activated in this build. From the very beginning of 2.2 and recently back into 2.1

First of all which device are you using and type?
This sounds like a very strange behavior and making a layout like this would be kind of useless. Does those buttons work in winmo?
yahoo issues?
ok guys weird problem. not sure if anyone else has it.
i use mail.yahoo.com at work. it has the chat feature. i use it to send text and msg's while at my desk.
i've noticed that since i've started using froyo, whenever my phone boots up or comes out of deepsleep, i get signed out of my yahoo chat with a message that i've been signed in somewhere else.
now i have no messenger on my device. i have yahoo mail through the stock android email app along with my gmail and exchange mail. i also have a yahoo news widget.
i have had my g/f send me a message after i am kicked out. on her messenger it lists me as mobile. i have never received a message from her on my device.
any ideas on this?
Just bought a G3 off contract to replace my beloved S4. I use FoxFi on a regular basis and there was a pretty simple work around which allowed me to use the application without requiring a pin for my lockscreen. I tried to do the same work around with the G3 to no avail.
Has anyone been able to use foxfi without having a lockscreen?
Thanks

I know it's not actually answer on question but i hope it can help.
As i saw, this application can share internet and same option you already have by default called something like hotspot.
Almost all bank applications also require pin screen. The most of the time, after first usage you can remove screen lock and they will continue to work without issues.

Right, it is a mobile hotspot app. It requires credentials to use. There was a way to remove the need for those credentials on my S4, but I can't seem to figure out a way on my G3.

You tried to remove lock once when you setup application? I remember it worked for me for Skrill and my local bank online banking.

I cant go back in there and change it unless i remove all credentials.
These threads have info on how to bypass the credentialing each time. It worked great on the GS4 but I have not been able to figure out how to do this with the G3.

If anyone can help, I will buy them a beer.
If I clear all credentials it allows me to skip the lockscreen at least until I use Foxfi again. Still looking for a permanent fix though.
Still looking for help.
Hello my friends, this is a kind of funny? post but i need your help!
I work in a company that provides us a Samsung galaxy note 8.0 this device has its policy settings that way so we cant play with settings etc. (you get an "policy does not allow this action" or something message. It also has a gmail account installed that the IT knows the passwords and username and they are able to see the location of the device through google settings.
This is my last 10 days in the company and i have this arsehole supervisor that calls the IT department and asks them to see my location so he can stalk me. I want to make him a joke so he gets his lesson. Next time he asks for my location, he gets his home!!! (specially pinned to the bedroom of his house ) he is a kind of douche that is very jealous and he will think i hamp his wife :good::good::good::good::good:
i found this nice app in google play (fake gps) but it requires "enable mock location"
i AM able to install apps in the device if i get the apk file in the sd card and then install it from "file manager" app.
What i need is a nice little app that enables the mock locations
i have observed that the settings are locked BUT if you install an app that does the job there is no problem.
for example, the device wont let you disable/enable wifi from the scroll down menu or settings, but if you install an app that does the same thing it wont say "no"
in the same way, if there is an app that "enables mock locations" or a nice guy that can provide me with an apk that does the job i would be greatfull.
thanks in advance!
hello my friends again, not a single answere, i understand that you might think i am the douchebag that wants to hurt an inocent supervisor. Just to let you know, the hole team is getting the faq out of the company because of this ahole. He was one of us untill 1 month ago, but when he sat in the bigger chair he made the hole work concept an agonising experience. We are all moving to other company and just want to give him a little surprise....imagine him calling his "friend" at the it and asking the teams location, and finding out we all are in his house!! Asking for the location is highly illegal, we dont move money or drugs, we are just salesmen! He will freak out and learn his lesson, he wont be able to tell anybody that this thing happened because he will be in trouble for stalking us. We dont want him to get fired though, so we want to give him a freak out moment of "oh ****, they are all at my house? wtf?" and run to his house to find us, then he will call us with a douche attitude, not being able to tell "why the faq your stalked device shows my home location?" it will be good type of "goodbye arsehole!!! supervisor of no team at all" i'll even let you know what happened! come on!!! lets laugh a little, its been a realy realy sad month!!
Your device has been encrypted by your supervisor, and without the password you nor any app can enter the device settings. The only way is to wipe the device to the default settings.

thats sad!!! we will have to think of other ways to play with his brains....
im willing to try any ideas, if there are any...
it seems to me that only the "settings app" is locked, since i can change locked settings (like wifi enable/disable, BT enable disable, screen backlight etc) from other apps while i get a "policy does not allow this action" when i try to change them from standard android links. I thought i can change "allow mock locations" from an other "app" too.
how about rooting the device, changing this setting and then unrooting? sounds like a plan, no?
how can i check if device is really encrypted? i have almost 0 experience but it seems to me that the device is locked with a crap app like storm windows back in 1995!
i cant enter the settings....
As the title says my tablet is a VK700 by LG and has android ver 5.0.2 build no is LRX22G software ver VK70029A, no mods or rooted or anything, but there is an issue that I cannot fix using factory resets or updates. I am hoping someone here will be able to assist me. There are some apps on my tablet, as of this post it's all my internet browsers, MeowMeow Star Acres, Class Royale, Clash of Clans, Ancient Aliens, Forge of Empires, SimCity Build It and King of Avalon. These are the ones I know of, but it crashes the games out like I just hit the Home button. No error messages or anything just blank screen n then the menu. And some apps/games crash ALOT more then others. Star Acres & Clash Royale crash alot more then Forge of Empires or King of Avalon, which almost NEVER does it. Which isn't making any sense to me. I have other games which have NEVER done it one time. The other one is on games like King of Avalon I hit the chat menu for example, the keyboard pops up, I type then i get either A)The keyboard just goes away and can't get it back easily and/or i hit the button to delete text and I get something like this "likethis this".
I thought of putting custom android on it, but if I can fix this that works too. Also would be nice to get rid of apps that I have never opened one time. Thanks.

Hi Joe,
Apparently we are the only two people to have purchased this tablet. I do have one question and possible solution for you. Like you, my apps were quitting randomly on me and I could not figure out why. I once had LTE coverage with my tablet but had discontinued that service once I had the device off contract with Verizon. Is that the same with you? Do you use it exclusively on Wi-Fi? If you do, I suggest you remove the SIM card from the device and see if that helps. For some odd reason that helped me tremendously.
Best of Luck!
