I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

I missed the part were it said that you could set it to were the only way they can un install it is by flashing a different ROM,,but that setting is for rooted phones,I'm completely stock and not sure if I want to root this phone,

You should root the phone it will change your life. Plus its so easy even a cave man can do it

Check out Android Lost, it does alot of those things as well. Relies on push messaging too, so its very light. You can take a picture on demand, turn on GPS and get location, download texts/emails, etc.

It'd be nice if we could put a password lock on the recovery. Wonder why 4ext hasn't done that yet.

Yea it would, also it would be tight if Samsung had in app like that already installed, that way even with a master reset you'll still be able to find your $700 + phone lol, I haven't lost one yet (knock on wood) but still very nervous of loosing it, ill give android lost a try,

After I got my phone I left the box on the train with all the accessories lol. It can happen!
I'm trying to use Android Lost,, but I can't get the gps remotely to turn on when it's off,
So maybe Cerberus might be better, I might have to give that one a try,

Android lost is free and its king of this kind of apps. Nothing is even close. Go get it try come back and hit thanks.

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

it looks good, although cerberus seems just as good and its already installed. I tested cerberus and its flawless. I guess there's no harm in having both though!

Xperia ion auto restart
Hello. My Xperia Ion is not rooted or flashed with custom rom or kernel or etc. But now it always restart itself when it is not plugged in using charger or USB cable. I wonder if there is problems with battery since it has build in battery so i could not figure it out by changing to new battery. Had anybody experience this? Thanks in advance! :good::good::good::good::good:

No problem. Maybe you should do some battery cycles test. Recharged when empty a battery should last longer. Maybe that will solve your problem.
I'd like to add that I updated my LT28a (locked bootloader) with the LT28h JB update (.211) then I rooted it using the Vietnamese Root Method. Everything was going good until this morning, I took it off the charger and it rebooted itself twice while above 90% charge. It reminds me of my Captivate that had the same issue. I'm testing it to see if it will happen again.

Flashing a ROM that's not 100% made for your phone model may be risky.
For some reason, I was trying to put up a picture that I recently took from my S4, but it kept getting messed up, one was with black background and the whole picture was black. that's all. Then one was white so it was pixelated. So I told my friend to put it up and i Sent him it and he put it up on my account with no problem. Are any of you guys facing this problem? And if so any solutions?
Just sent a picture I took earlier through, came out fine for me. Did you use the instagram camera or the built in one?

Same case.
There is an update, but I think it was more so for international users mostly. When in doubt, delete app and reinstall, that would be my suggestion, reboot if needed first.

Try another pic of the same or something black, see what happens. If it happens, maybe something wrong with color recognition, doesn't this device have a setting for RGB in there somewhere? Too new now to know of common problems, good thing for warranty and forums like XDA !
Tried alot, and IDK and yes thank for warranties and XDA

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, if it is just isolated to Instagram only, it may be app/device incompatibility would be my bets guess. However, with it running 4.2.2, that almost makes me think it is on the apps dev side. An update from Instagram may resolve it, or email dev of app.
Ever since update I'm getting the same thing

Can you two provide a pic? I am on 4.2.2. (mind you, also on a SGS2), and I updated IG and I am not experiencing this. It may be device related, ruling out 4.2.2, but again, I am AOKP, not TW. Root that bad boy, the devs will have great ROMs for this beast of a phone.

But I am guessing that is the non pixelated image? I have seen that on two different compters so far, it looks normal to me.
Ran it through, came out fine? There was an app update today FYI.

This is happening on Task650's 6.19.13 and 6.12.13 release. I have fully wiped twice. when using the new recording feature my video gets all screwed up and then instagram locks up. Task claims there is no problem on his end. my phone is a recent refurb so I don't know if its my phone or not. I pulled a kmsg but cant really tell what the hell is going on. thanks for anyone's help

Yes, I did occasionally but only for the first two days of my update and now after 3 days of my update it's gone.
P.S. I didn't do anything to fix, it's gone by itself.
