[Q] What is the best free app if phone is lost or stolen

What is the best free app to help find your phone if its lost or stolen
looking for recomendations
thanks

You won't find any free apps, certainly not good free apps.
WaveSecure is pretty much the only good thing availaible as far as I know, and it is really good for what it is.
£19.99 a year though unless your a member of team villain (or any other offers)

perhaps try Lookout? it's free. but afaik it has no uninstall protection like Wavesecure though. some other apps (I haven't tried these) that you may like to try - Mobile Defense and Where's My Droid.

lol like it
the cost of wavesecure is to high not entirely securing the phone. a boot and a factory reset you've lost your phone and a waste of the subscription charge.
and yes i know not every jo and harry will know how to do it but they might

Lost Phone. It's free.

Well if they do a factory reset then you are good since they have deleted most of your settings , but there is also a option to build wavesecure into the rom.
That way they have to reflash the rom before you loose control of your phone.
Its most likely the best phone security app out there atm
Take a look here btw and get 20% off :

microsoft my phone should do it

Sorry to hear that man, as I feel you as I too had my HD2 stolen just last month. If you are in USA there is nothing you can do as no GSM carrier supports IMEI blocking, they can but they don't. In theory they can view the phone when its online as when when makes new connect with stolen phone with diff simcard it will be registred. But simply they don't care for it unless Big Brother steps in you know or used in emergency to locate someone.
Normally there are GPS service which can make the device send the owner its coordinates also giving remote capabilities like if nearby SMSing it will provide audiable alert or by backing the data and syncing online and locking it. For it to work one must have it installed before this takes place.
When I had my HD2 stolen I just finished flashing new rom and GF called so we went to the bar and didn't have time to install my software packages. I checked Craigslist/eBay couldn't find it. I was very ticked of as I paid 750 for HD2 + 200 or so on addon accessories. The most important thing was the data on the device contacts till this day I don't have they are gone unless they contact me as I only recovered parietal though recent audit call logs.
I know the feeling my whole world ended lol I became totally handicapped without my device, it makes you think hard how depended we become. I use it for everything and showed it off as I had very good reason as I extremely modified it beyond extreme with my own tweaks and things. I even left the prick SMS saying I would pay more than its worth if kid returns it, but he is not dumb he knew WTF would happen to him if he shows up.

I think its an port to attach an external GPS antenna.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Looks like an external antenna connection port.

Thanks for the replies,
Is there a possibility to replace this part?
I think i kinda broke it...
I thought it was a reset button (Fail to me ...)
Now I have bad connection/no connection at all..
Greetings,

But I don't really see a fix?(If there is suppose to be one on this page or I am blind which is a big possibility )

Yea, heat gun it and solder a new one on.
DON'T stick anything in, I repeat, DON'T stick anything in that hole, i know it's tempting to fulfill your sexual urges, but please DON'T, you won't like it.

I've been searching over the web for a galaxy nexus antenna connecting port(not sure how you should call it) and I can't find a site where I can buy a replacement part...
Do you know where I can find one?

Plausibility of a TouchWiz port?

Would it be plausible to port TouchWiz from the SD820 GS7 to the HTC 10? I couldn't see any reason why this wouldn't work using a system pull from the 820 S7, and methods similar to how people have ported MIUI and Flyme.

My first thought? ...Why? It's like putting a '95 Civic motor in a 2016 Audi.
I have both phones, I'd want to get as far from TW as possible.

Because i want to.... I asked if it was plausible, not if it'd get used.

Well, if that's the case, and considering TW is generally hated, I'm going to do the old fashioned XDA tradition of encouraging you to poke around the files and try to port it.

Could buy an S7 too. Or any number of the new galaxies that get released once a month. Chances are those already have TW ported.

You won't be able to get the full os. Too many requirements for closed sourced files made just for that device. Best you can hope for is some of the apks. Like launcher, sms, maybe dialer (not the In Call Dialer) and contacts. Those should be be compatible with a few things removed.

How can the largest employer in South Korea screw up so bad?

I wonder how such a screw up can happen? Weren't the batterys stress tested? Did the manufacturer change the manufacturing after the samples were approved? Is the CEO going to resign?

you're so weird. calm your ass down. **** happens, you ever heard of the Toyota recall?

Yup. Samsung isn't the first. They won't be the last.

Don't forget Boeing, no need for Note 7 to blow when their own batteries did. This is what happens when we want more energy density, when **** goes wrong, boom.

Apple phones have been blowing up since 2009 and even killing people read world news. At least Samsung is addressing it and taking no care how much it will cost them which is billions. Apple hasn't done a thing ever.

I went to McDonalds last night, and they had a recall notice posted on the drive-thru window. Recalling some kind of "activity watch", it can overheat and cause burns.

No offense to any south koreans here.. but South Korea as such is very morally bankrupt. Samsung is no different. They lie, cheat and do all kinds of things to make a buck. This is a glaring omission or cost cutting that they tried to do with inferior batteries which turned out to be not only defective, but dangerous.

My kids have that watch, lol. They were running around with it on when I first read about it. Just tell them they ran so fast it caught fire trying to keep up.
