From Google...
"Have you ever lost your phone in between the couch cushions or forgot it in a restaurant? Or maybe searching for your phone before you rush out the door is part of your morning routine? Let the new Android Device Manager help you out! It's one of a few simple features you can use to keep your device—and the data you store inside—safe and secure.
Locate and ring your misplaced device
If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even if it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.
Protecting your personal information and data
While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can’t be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.
Availability and getting started
This service is now available on devices running Android 2.2 or above; to use it, you also will need to be signed into your Google Account. There will also be an Android app to allow you to easily find and manage your devices. Stay tuned!"
How to start using
*note: This is not a standalone app. Google is pushing the update in batches so you may not have access to it yet.
1. Navigate to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and check the box Android Device Manager and hit activate
2. Check to see if access to Android Device Manager is in your Google Settings application.
3. Go here on your computer's web browser and test it.
If you don't see access to it in your Google Settings app, its likely that the feature is not yet available to you.

Yeah works good. Typically though, if anyone takes you OneX in a house you won't find it's position.
The ringer works fine, haven't tested data wipe.

Data wipe is working too. Phone reboots, enters in recovery, and wipes everything.
I currently have disabled this feature. Too nervous about someone else being able to remotely wipe my phone.
I know the chance is minimal, but still..

Does it require stock recovery? Or including custom recoveries?
This works great.
Thank you for the info,i activated trough settings,but when i go into the browser my phone is recognized but the location could not be shown....
EDIT: After restarting the HOX,the browser managed to find it,but when i hit refresh it doesn't find it anymore..curious..
EDIT 2:Works now..don't know why

Yeah, I know it ain't that awful.
I've just always questioned the practicality of tracking apps since GPS is notoriously poor through obstructions.
Only the remote wipe is of interest to me IF it works with custom recoveries.

I have tested it on stock recovery (my wife's unrooted, locked, completely stock phone).. Haven't tried it on mine with the Custom recovery.. But I have to re-flash my ROM after a full wipe in few days, I'll check it then and will report here..
I'm sure it'll work on custom recovery too.

When i try on my other gmail account i works perfectly but my main phones gmail account it just won't work
I have had very little success with Android Device Manager on my wife's HTC One X. And in fact, it seems to be these find-my-phone apps in general, since Cerberus can also not locate her device 90% of the time either.
She's current running Maximus HD, and before that, Cyanogenmod 10.1 and 10.2.
If I was a betting man, I would say that the problem is that the phone is going into a deep-sleep and not responding to GCM requests. Any ideas at all?
Power Button + Vol- then go to recovery choose wipe -> factory reset Lol
smartboy_anu, thank you for this information. I tested it with my HOX (ARHD 31.2), and it's working. :good:
My comment here is - this is very handy and convenient, but I find it really scary! There goes our privacy to the toilet.
The damn thing located me within 17 meters!
thanks 4 da info.. cheers :thumbup:

Where do you currently live? just wondering if this could be caused by a Radio reception issue. I know you will be running the stock Radio version, but maybe upgrading to a different Radio version might help as this can improve GPS, signal strength, etc.
Have you tried a Hard Reset? This will restore your phone back to factory settings, it will not delete anything on your SD card. Trying this might be worthwhile especially if you have installed any conflicting apps. If you are willing to do this, try the following:
1. Turn the power off. If your HTC Desire is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it.
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC Desire. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.
EDIT: Just seen the above post. since it's a known issue, I doubt trying what I suggested above would resolve the problem

Yep, I agree with you there, I doubt it will fix this issue. But when appropriate Radio version's are made available, it might be worth flashing your Radio version to another. I did this on my HD and HD2 when I had them and this greatly improved signal strength, GPS, Battery life, etc.

Yes it does.
Having a rooted phone gives the end user unprecedented control over the phone, enabling them to have limitless possibilities. Essentially unlocking your phone's full potential. With root/superuser access on your phone you would be able to flash modified roms/radios, have access to certain functions on "root only" applications (example: wireless tether for root users - ability to tether your phone). The possibilities are endless.
There are also risks involved in doing this, it can void your warranty (unless you return it to stock ROM, Radio versions). The most apparent risk is bricking your device. If this happens, your phone is and forever will be, nothing more than, a brick

Hey, we are all noobs
Basically, to have root access on a Linux based system such as Android means you have the equivalent access of Administrator on a Windows based computer. You will have unrestricted full access to nearly all aspects of the android system stack.
Finding root is a matter of time, if it can be built, it can be broken (i hope ). Once you have root access you can continue to flash a customised recovery image and a compatible bootloader/spl (secondary program loader) which will in turn, enable you to flash custom modified ROMs.
Like I mentioned before matey, I have not tried this on the Android platform, only WinMo using HSPL unlocker. I'm not sure how easy/difficult it will be. Do not worry though, because if this device can be rooted, im sure it will all be explained very clearly, along with troubleshooting guides. All we have to do is carefully read the steps and understand the concept before attempting anything. That's what this forum's like this are for, a great community with so many helpful people, all willing to help if they can. If we are unsure of something, all we need to do is ask
Cheers for the confidence, I'm gonna need it lol. what if we can't find root access? has that ever happened for an Android handset?

I think (I hope) it will only be a matter of time before we get root access with the Desire, AFAIK I don't think there are any Android handset's released thus far which cannot potentially be rooted. There are other Android phones currently running 2.1 which have been rooted successfully. The problem that we face with the Desire is that so far, it's proving very difficult to gain write access.
Paul @ modaco.com has revealed he has found a method to gain root access with the Desire, which he hopes can also be replicated on other devices. However, he has stated that HTC have implemented some rather sneaky protection methods that prevent writing of data to key partitions (boot, recovery, system etc.) which prevent us from enabling custom ROMs, etc.
He is hoping that an engineering SPL (and a way to flash it) emerges soon. We will have to wait and see.

I've had a similar issue. I work in Sunderland (Pennywell) and the phone picks up Castletown (area couple of miles away just over the river as a location) without any weather, although GPS picks up exact location no problem. However the village where I live in Cleveland and the even smaller village my mother in law lives in (Thormanby, near Thirsk) pick up the correct name and show the weather so I have to assume its picking up via mast/network as GPS is correct. So it must be a network issue rather than phone.
I've also noticed on mine that if it picks up a location but no weather then if I try to scroll on the weather widget, I get a Sense UI fail/force closure and the OS restarts. Its ok if I tap on the widget to open it first and then scroll, then its ok
same issue here. It worked on day 1 when I was at work, then worked ok when I got home that day, then stopped working on day 2. weird! hope they fix it soon.
I got a Galaxy Nexus shipped to me here in the US from the UK. I'm on AT&T. It came SIM-unlocked, but I set about rooting and unlocking the bootloader. Didn't encounter any problems. However, after watching a video, I wanted to try Android Beam. I went into the settings to make sure it was on, but there is no setting. Anyone know why?
I'm on Android 4.0.1, build ITL41F
Are you in the right place? settings/more (in the wireless and network section)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It is literally right above the Android Beam setting (Settings -> Wireless -> More)
I have a GSM version, apart from root and CWM, running 100% stock 4.0.1.
Under network/Wifi & data/More I have a NFC menu-option, with a toggle.
I can turn it on or off and have "Android beam" below. Clicking Android beam just gets me a screen telling me "its on" and that it will be used when it can be used.
I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but that's what I have

So, as an experiment, I thought it might have something to do with my work email's Exchange policies. I backed up all my apps with Titanium, restored to factory defaults, and set my phone up again. This time, the NFC settings are there. I put my work email back on, activated the policies and (for now) the NFC settings are still there. Very strange. I'd like to know why it happened, but glad it's working again. Sorry for the false alarm!
As an aside, rooting/unlocking bootloader is maintained across doing a factory restore, correct? Or will I have to re-do all that?
Incase anyone was interested

Depends on the type of factory reset you did. An 'in ROM' factory reset deletes everything from /data and does not touch /system.
A 'recovery' factory reset could wipe everything. Including system.

I have a small problem guys....when my phone is in sleep mode i don't get my text messages....as soon as i get the phone awake instantly i receive the texts....what seems to be the problem? need help cz i need to manually wake the phone and look for text messages....
P.S i am on stock with 1.29 latest update.....not rooted or flashed....
I already had a thread but im deleting it and refreshing my question as i have not had any response from anyone except for 1 which is downloading power saver settings but that didn't do anything.....Please help...Thanx....
UPDATE: On some other forum which i was searching for on Google, someone had posted to clear the cache and do a factory reset which i did and still i have the problem...i mean as soon as i manually wake the phone from sleep....i hear the tone and text message light appears....but if there are two texts for example another one coming immediately after the first one, then it notifies for both the texts....
***UPDATE (Possible Fix)*****
After searching thousands of forums i have found the problem to be that of software. Couldn't find a fix for it but found an app on the Play Store that does the trick...The app is call SMSAwake. Write it exactly like this in Play Store and you will find that it works and actually wakes the phone up and text is received. Glad i found something..... Do respond if you find it helpful.....THANKS.....
Yeah I have simmer on my phone if i receive a text phone do not notify me when I get one sometimes it do but loads of times it don't.
I will get the text if i go look in my sms inbox then they show up iv had once where someone sent me a pic and it just disappeared from my messages before I could receive it.
Im on stock untouched this started happening after the ota update from O2 very annoying that this happens think it's a software fault thou.
I had the same with the fb app on other phones never told me of any notification but on my hox it works perfect but texts do what the fb app use to do lol.

I often had this problem on an HTC Touch Diamond with Windows Mobile. What was happening in that case was the text messages were received, but the interrupt from the radio to the CPU didn't always work, or the phone was waking up, but going to sleep a split second before the alert had time to sound.
To the OP, what have you installed by way of applications? Things like battery savers or shutting down tasks using task killers could be the cause.

Assuming you guys are using stock ROMs and radios it has to be something specific to the One X and the carrier you're using. It happens all the time because one universal radio designed to work everywhere is bound to have issues occasionally on specific networks. HTC just pushed an update to the Nordic countries that updated their radio so I'm guessing there must have been some specific issues identified. 2.X when it's released will have a new radio so that might help.
I assume the One X has fast dormancy enabled by default. That can be a problem on certain networks that don't support it correctly. Here's a link to a thread on fast dormancy from the SGS3 forum that might help. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to tell you. All phones don't work equally well on all networks.

Refer to the first post for a possible Fix...THANKS.....:good::good:
I lost my phone last night (yes I'm an idiot). Tried installing Plan B this morning but it doesn't appear to work on Jelly Bean
I'm running 4.1.1 rooted. Phone has password lock on it.
Are there any alternatives I could explore before my battery completely dies and I'm completely screwed?
Also, for future reference, what are the best apps for locating devices? I miss "Find my iPhone"
Thanks y'all

Can a thief just go ahead and do a complete wipe and you're not completely helpless?

At the end of the day, my job can remote wipe the phone, plus I have a password that's not 1234, so I'm not concerned about my data being compromised, I just want the damn phone back. I love/need wi-fi hotspot (it's amazing for work)
Hey everyone,
Got randomly (?) searched at the airport and they took my phone into the back room to "check" things.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't like people going through my things- especially when I don't know what they're doing. So now I would like to know if anything was changed or added, as unlikely as it may be.
How can I go about finding out if anything was installed or modified?
Rooted on ViperX

Re: [Q]3rd party used my phone: How to check for modified/added files
Go through your apps and go through your files. Simple as that.
Wipe and reflash ROM to be sure.

It could happen anytime you leave your device unattended. Make sure you're using a screen lock with a reasonably short time of auto activation. If you're not rooted, check your list of apps. Devices without SU binary (rooted) should not be possible to be hacked badly within few minutes, or hidden spyware apps be installed, passwords revealed.
