hi everyone, i just lost my rooted evo, but i dont have any software like mobile defense or anything similar....
i thought i could track it through latitude but i never enabled it in my gmaps...
any one have any help with this ??
I've never used it but check out plan b by lookout labs. It's supposedly designed just for this purpose. BTW, if it works please reply as I want to know if it does work as it says.
Install through the web android market.

I think most, if not all, of those types of apps must be setup before you lose the phone.
That's what I thought but this one specifically says it can be installed once a phone is lost through the market and it will run as soon as the app is pushed through to your phone by google. Of course it could all be pr speak which is why I want to know if it works for the op.

Actually, now that you mention it, that could work. I wasn't thinking that you could use the Android Web Market to silently push the app to the phone. Since it silently installs such apps without prompting for confirmation of either the install or its permissions, it probably would work. They would see it install in the notification bar, but might not notice before you got the location info you need.
Of course, this is a great example of why I think that's a security flaw in the Android web market. If someone compromises your Google account, they can push an app down to your phone via the web market and you might not know. Basically such an app could do anything short of something requiring root access with no prompt showing up. I've always thought that despite it being convenient the way it is (review the permissions on the web and have it automatically install), it'd be much more secure to confirm install on the phone first. That said, in this one scenario, it could actually be helpful.
thanks for the help!
i installed/pushed the app through the market but still waiting to get an email.... ill try texting with my friends mobile to see if its still on.
o wow...hopefully it is still on and that app works!! good luck to ya!!
So I have to know. Did it work?

Hey guys like the title says, I can't request desktop sites. Every time I do request it I get a T-Mobile page telling me to make my phone a mobile hotspots. I usually don't oaks around the forums and search for my answers but I just couldn't find one this time haha. Anyone gone through this and fixed it? Thanks in advanced.

Just got it yesterday... it sucks. I'm hoping someone figured it out.
I searched and found something about T-Mobile just looking at uag string or something like that and assume its tethering because of that.
I think martinokaj (or close to that) mentioned it and for him it just left couple weeks later. He tried contacted T-Mobile but it didn't help at all.

So maybe if I wait a couple of weeks or a billing cycle it'll stop doing this? I might just try calling T-Mobile see if they can so anything ...

Stock browser?
Sigh... they're still doing this.
Basically, T-Mobile rudimentarily checks to see if people are tethering by filtering user agents. They assume that if you're on the phone you'll always have a phone UAstring, and if you're on the desktop you'll always have a desktop UAstring.
Obviously this isn't true... this is the stock ICS browser and you can effectively change your UAstring to get desktop sites. Many other browsers in the market do it too.
Basically you can try to call and ***** them out. I dealt with this mid last year on my G2 because they started spamming me with this on the stock browser and my computer. I can change my UAstring manually on the computer (with a spoofer on Firefox) but its not so easy to change the UAstring and still get desktop pages on the phone.
Long story short of me talking to them and going through many levels/days of support, they claimed to not understand the problem/not be aware of this issue. Even with sending them screenshots of the problem on my phone. Eventually I just dealt with it and a few weeks later it just stopped.
I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this honestly. I suggest you either just wait it out and let it stop, or call in and get several levels up in support.
If you want, you can dig up a thread in the G2/DZ forum where another user and I got to the bottom of how they're doing this. But the basic thing is they think you're tethering for having a desktop UAstring.

Thanks a lot for this, I'll just wait it out to see if it goes away and call if it doesn't...
Have u tried using a different browser? Not sure if this would help cause it sounds like a T-Mobile thing. I use dolphin which has an add on to show desktop sites. Just a suggestion. Glad I have Verizon as I've never had this issue.
Does it do it on dolphin hd?

They're filtering all traffic identified as a desktop UAstring. Doesn't matter the browser.
Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...
I had troubles using Chrome browser. I actually had to use IE to get it to work properly. Have you tried using a different browser?

Yes, I've tried Chrome, Opera and IE, all have the same problem.
Hmmm. Perhaps a router issue. Have you tried bypassing your router and connecting directly to your modem with ethernet cable?
I did try accessing the site from my phone and got the same problem. Also my computer isn't near the router so I can't try that.
Did you use wifi when accessing the site using your phone? If so, try using 3G with your provider ...?

Having the same issue. Keep saying I am not login in when I click the
"Unlock Bootloader" button but in fact I already login. I also emailed the

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.
I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.
nope im havin the same prob. got hboot 1.58 so idk. get a message sayin " indicates hboot update required"

I had the same exact problem when trying to login to HTC dev. It would kick me out every time i would login. I found out that the date on my computer was wrong so i changed it and boom, it worked! Make sure that your date and time is accurate and see if it works. Hope this helps
I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.
Hi guys,
Few days ago my S3 received official 4.3 android update, and weird things happening after that.
When I connect to internet, via wi-fi or data, phone automatically download a small file named "files.zip". And it happening every time I turn on wi-fi or data... I can`t find this file in downloads or anywhere else. When I try to open, it says "cannot open".
Second weird thing - browser often redirect me to a advertising or span webs. For instance, I try to open youtube.com, it opens different web with advertisement.
Anyone have an ideas how can I fix this?
We need proof screen shots video something

damn your luck were still stuck on 4.1.2 if your having the issues you say you are with what sounds like maleware. have you installed anything to check phone. over here we have apps like lookout security. i kno nod makes a phone app. you could always do a factory reset back to out the box state. reinstall apps one by one to check it out. sound like you have a app with crap in it.

Factory reset helped to solve "files.zip" autodownload problem, but phone is still laggy. It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on screen when I press power button in sleep mode. Applications become laggy. I will try to reflash 4.3 via KIES, if the problem remain, back to 4.1.2 will be optimal decision.
Thanks for help guys, and sorry again for getting lost in galaxy s3 forums
I would like to know if I can have WiFi and Mobile Data on at the same time. I do not get MMS messages til I get off WiFi and also I can't get on my T-Mobile App to check minutes and data. It Keeps saying "Sorry, no data connection is available" I looked in my settings and said Mobile Data is disconnected.... Is this normal? Thanks In Advance.

Hmm... to be fair sometimes a lack of response is more a lack of confidence in any particular response that might be given. At times repercussions get ...awkward... for saying things that others might find ill informed, and as such a tendency to not say anything unless rather certain on the answer develops.
Anyhoo - I hadn't noticed the fact that the mobile network state listed itself as disconnected when connected to wifi... but ultimately (opens self up to possibly saying something stupid...) I can think of no good reason certain functions of the phone (at least mms or the tmobile app) would depend on mobile data being connected while wifi disconnected. Doing a quick test on my end - both of these functions seem to be behaving as expected while on wifi (tested with wifi calling NOT on, not sure that would throw a wrench in anything but you never know) - does the issue exist across wifi sources? That sort of thing might be something to bring up to a TMo service rep - not sure they will be of any help but given the response you've had here it couldn't be much worse, right?

Thank you for your response. I finally called Tmobile and they told me that their apps will only work on mobile data and are not meant to work over wifi even though they say my mobile data will always be on it just goes into a low power state and that MMS has to be set to auto receive which somehow was not checked. Everything seems to work fine. Just one question for you. Did i read that you said you could get on your tmobile account app with WiFi on? Again thank you very much for answering me back. Just was have a bad morning because i get alot of MMS messages for work and it got to me... Also I'm one of those guys that no believe in a stupid answer.

I was able to, but perhaps it was just a trick of app cache as opposed to it actually working... strange they require data, you'd think if it was that much of a need they'd force it to engage and wake up the low power state instead of forcing you to turn off wifi. Ah well, learn something new everyday Sorry I wasn't more help
