Hey XDA members,
In case you didn't know Cerberus is offering free licences over the next week.
It's a great alternative app to SeekDroid, with as much if not more functionality..dl the app from market
This was reported on Reddit, below is the link to redeem the free licence
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
Check out their twitter, if you have concerns it's not legit

I'm probably paranoid, but this smells fishy. Can anyone confirm this is legit?

The same link is posted on their Facebook page...
I had the same feeling. That link looks a bit dodgy.. no logos or markings, just asking for info. Has anyone tested this yet?

Like it has been pointed out, if you have doubts, go to their website: https://www.cerberusapp.com/
Click on the link to their facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/CerberusAndroid
Or click on the link to their twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/cerberusapp
You'll find the link on both sites too.

I'm using it - already paid for license so can't take this opportunity. Feature wise it's the most advanced anti theft app I've tried. You can also flash it using custom recovery so it should work even if factory reset is done on your phone.
Having said that, I often experience "Unable to connect to your phone." Error from the web interface ( supports SMS pwd protected commands too )
I went for it. Been testing this app for the last few days. So far, I think it's worth paying for but just haven't gotten to it yet.
Thanks for posting this and saving me a few bucks!

I filled out the form and it said my info has been recorded. No confirmation email or any cerberus markings. It said all registrations will become active on March 1st.

How do you do this? The app needs to have your login/password entered when first ran?
Guys, stop being paranoid, this app is awesome, i bought it a few weeks ago and it rocks. Tracks, voice records, takes pics of thief, takes screenshots etc so much power.
This is where you login to track etc your phone, even remote wipe etc
https://www.cerberusapp.com/
Thanks so much for this saves me a couple bucks
I can agree with the other users. I only used the app for two of the five trial days they give you before I bought the license. I have three devices on my account.
I've had the paid version of Cerberus for a few months now. Yes, it's a great application.
However, the problem with Cerberus (and all other applications like it) is that it needs a data connection or a SIM with credit. That means if your thief removes the SIM and replaces it with one that has no credit or never turns the WiFi on, you're out of luck.
Though it's still better to have Cerberus than to have nothing at all.
Not saying you should or shouldn't use this app, but I have a question. In many states in the USA is illegal to record the info this app does. So what happens if you tried to press charges? None of this could be used against the person that stole the phone if you happen to live in one of those states. Hell they could prolly sue you for invasion of privacy in the USA we live in today.

Just to clarify, I'm not paranoid about the app. I already have the free version. It was just the link that seemed dodgy, and seeing as though I don't have Facebook or twitter I can't personally confirm it's legit. Seems ok enough for me to try after these few comments. let's give it a try then.

The lack of no confirm email freaked me out. I was typing quickly so I misspelled (or I think I misspelled) my email, so I did it again to make sure. But w/ no confirmation, who knows!
On twitter, cerberus said in fact so many users typed their password instead of the email >.<

If a theif inserts an unauthorized sim, SMS alerts are automatically sent to your emergency contact numbers.

They have a client app you can load on another phone to send commands also.

That's my point. If the SIM doesn't have any credit (not everyone is on a contract), you won't get that alert. In that case you'd have to hope that the thief ends up setting up WiFi on the phone.
Hey Guys.
I just received my Optimus G Pro from the US. I have unlocked it and its working fine in the UK on EE. However when I open up contacts it keeps trying to load AT&T Address Book which is really annoying. I just press back and it goes back to the regular contacts menu, but is there any way of disabling it? I have managed to disable all of the other AT&T bloatware from the main application drawer. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I don't see an option to disable that. If I click on it it opens up and wants to sync. Long pressing does nothing and there are no check boxes to uncheck.
Thanks but I tried that and there is no option to disable it. Is there any other way or will I have to root?

You can go into apps in setting then to Att address book and stop it from there too. On mine I can just tap Att address book in the sync area and the it opens up and then you can check it or not to stop the sync

If you're rooted then you can always change the AAB.apk to AAB.bak with Root Browser (or any other root file explorer) and that'll disable it. I prefer this method to uninstalling just in case I need to do a software upgrade-it's easy enough to reverse without having to flash back to stock.

After you get into your contacts, go into settings -> display options then scroll to the bottom and select customize. UNCHECK at&t address book. After that it shouldnt try to open it.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium
If rooted do not uninstall de AT&T adress book. It is tied with the stock contac app. And if you do like i did in the past with at&t phones you will not be able to open the stock contac app. Your phone will say Apk not found. And then you will have to download a contac app like go contacs. It is best to just disable it. Very clever at&t with theyre crap.

There are several options. The easiest thing is to make the root and then uninstall AT & T Address Book, all you do with Rom ToolBox. For the other applications. You just have to enter settings - Applications - All - Looking for the At & t and then: Force stop, turn off the notifications, delete the cache and then turn off. That's it!! It's that easy. If my information help you, just give clicking Thanks!
Other solution
I know this is an old post, but maybe someone know how can I remove the AT&T address book without rooting the device. Every time I'm on wifi or 3g and I open contacts this application opens first. It is extremely annoying. I just have an app from work which requires from device not too be rooted so I must find some other solution.
Thank you.
I never set mine up and it doesn't pop up. Maybe click through it without setting it up? There must be a way to do it because I haven't used root to force any of my AT&T apps. There's also an att address book options under accounts and sync. Maybe you can use that to stop it.

Nothing works, those AT&T guys closed all the options I could think off. In accounts they doesn't have the option to stop it. BTW, I never set mine up as well. But every time I get into "contacts" it starts connection with the AT&T address book to give me instructions how to set it up. It is really, really annoying.
Thank you.
A little late, but...
On my LG G2, I cannot disable the AT&T address book, but I never see it or use it during normal use. The only time I see it is if I either look into the apps section (where it can be stopped, but cannot be disabled), or if I go into "Accounts and Sync", where is shows the accounts such as Google, Skype, etc. If I click on "AT&T Address Book" there, it opens and asks:
Do you want to sync this device with the contacts in your online AT&T Address Book?
I click on "No", and it says
Activate AT&T Address Book at a later date by simply selecting AT&T Address Book from the settings menu of your device address book.
I of course would never do that.
I found a menu yesterday with "hidden menus" app from the play store. Try dialing *#*#2666#*#* and setting "registration" to "completed". You might also tinker with those settings and see if it stops it.

Thank God for small favors (and good info) this is the only thing that worked for me. I used to root and uninstall it or flash a dif. Rom. But I wanted the updates I missed and the future ones, so I flashed back to stock and of course got the cursed "you cant stop me, haha" ATT address book!!!
I was on latest AW 2 preview version and then updated to AW2 version via OTA received on watch. The notifications worked for few times and then stopped completely. I tried rebooting the watch, phone (honor 7) but nothing changed. I tried uninstalling and installing the android wear app but still nothing changed. I tried restoring and adding watch again to phone but still nothing happened. I even did clean install of AW 2 (wiping the partition and sideloading the firmware) but still nothing changed. Is it happening for anybody else or does anybody has solution to fix it. I suspect it has something to do with the AW app. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I had that happen yesterday on another watch still on 1.5. It resolved after rebooting my phone (S7e). So it's not just 2.0
Notifications have started to come theough now on my watch. Only thing that I changed was that I gave AW app 'priority display' permission under Notifications
I'm getting gmail and text notifications, but not my exchange email. High priority didn't help me. Even adding my exchange email to the gmail app didn't work.
it is a bug and solved by accident
it is a bug and solved by accident for me, just receive a call while you are connecting your watch to your smartphone and answer using the watch and talk using the watch.
then after closing the line using the watch also, all notifications will appear

Have you tried a different watchface? I'm using WatchR and don't have a problem with notifications. I have the paid version so I'm not sure if the free version will work. I get both a full screen notification as well as a colored circle at the bottom with the number of notifications.

I'm using the stock watch faces - and this coloured circle you mention intrigues me. I miss having the notification at the bottom of the screen to pull up.
My notification are coming through - but I have no way of knowing there's a notification unless I swipe up to check. Is this the same for everyone else? No actual visible notification unless swiping up? I've turned on 'High' notification previews, but that's also not really what I want as I then lose the watch face.

Originally I was quite impressed for Huawei to have a presence here - went to try the chat about my issue with notifications and was told 'ask Google'. Super.
Huawei: Since this is an Android-related issues, please contact the local support for Android Wear, as they are the developers of the software and best equipped to offer you assistance with this.
Me: Who's the local support for Android? You mean Google?
Huawei: Yes.
So... anyone got Sundar Pichai's contact info? lol
The colored dot only shows with special AW 2.0 optimized watch faces and AFAIK, none if the stock HW 1 watch faces.

The biggest problem I have is that they disappear after swiping through them. So say you get a Facebook notification & text. If the text is the second notification & you swipe past Facebook, you don't get to go back. With the previous AW version you could swipe as much as you like until you dismissed them or read them, etc. Bugs the hell out of me with 2.0 when it all disappears.

Notification
Hi, found this forum and wanted to ask if anyone having the same issue.
mine is lte.. before buying this watch i read online says that all notification from phone will receive without any bluetooth connection, i was interested on it.
eventually i bought the watch and all set up, but found out that the notification sometime receive and sometime not. So i realise the notif will receive when the phone is on then all notification will be received, but when phone is screen off / stand by mode all notification can't receive.
anybody having this issue? maybe there is some setting that has to be set so when you leave the phone all notif can be receive on watch?
and as i can see Huawei is in this forum, it will be great if you can assist on this issue.
thank you.
I have a Pixel 2 XL with Android 8.1. I recently moved to Join from Pushbullet because messages sent from the PC were not syncing with my phone text app (Android Messages.) But the same thing is happening with Join in that I'll send a message via the Chrome Extension and the other person gets it but on my phone, I never see what I sent via Join. I'm guessing this might be either an Android Messages problem, 8.1 problem or a combo of both.
Yesterday, I got one to sync and that was it. If it matters, it was a single line message. But then tried a one word reply to someone and it didn't sync.
And just now, I sent a new message (started as a new message in Join in Chome to my nieces). One went through and synced to my phone but the other didn't.
I'm hoping it is something I just need to check and change.
This may not be a show stopper to some but if this is an 8.1 thing, I may need to go back to my Note 8. Hate to do that because I'm really enjoying my Pixel 2 XL and 8.1
Any suggestions?

I use Mighty Text and it works just fine. I send SMS/MMS all the time (several times per day) and have not had a problem with it on 8.0 or 8.1. This is split between using both Firefox and Chrome. I can see text/pics sent on my Messages app on the phone. What carrier are you with? I'm on AT&T.
I'm on Verizon. I thought about firing up my Note 8 to see if problem is there too. Only had this problem on 8.1
While I never had any issues with it, I got away from pushbullet long ago.
if you are open to it, perhaps check out using something like Pulse. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.klinker.messenger
Works across just about every platform.

This is one of the reasons I left Pushbullet and tried Join. But sadly, the problem still existed on the Pixel XL 2. Pushbullet support didn't ever respond and Join Support said it might be a problem with Android Messages. Beyond removing updates on Android Messages or trying a factory reset on my Pixel 2 XL, I've been at a loss to what to do. I'd try Pulse but I think the same problem may exist.

Maybe an APN issue? Try comparing your APN with another Verizon user. FDR seems a bit harsh for this, but I think it is safe to rule out an issue with 8.1 or Messages because it is working for just about everyone else.

I meant the settings within the APN, particularly the MMS. You'll need to compare with another Verizon user and what is published online. If there is more than one (I have 3) try using a different one. Do you have another phone on your plan? Check that one.
Considering the other party is receiving the messages, it sounds more like a display issue with Messages to me. Join/Pushbullet/etc. don't actually send the messages, they just relay them to your phone and your phone sends them. So they must be making it to your phone if the other party is getting them.

Rather than paying monthly for Pushbullet Pro, I paid the one time fee for Join, so I haven't used Pushbullet for a while. I haven't used all of the features of Join yet, but it looks like it can do a lot more than Pushbullet and it's cheaper.
Plus another factor that may affect my experience vs yours is:
I'm mainly using Pushbullet to see texts people send me on my other phone numbers, on a different phone..I rarely use the desktop interface (though I do have it active when I am on my laptop)
So maybe that's why my experience is different from yours
I also noticed that texts sent to short codes that have 5 digits, don't work on Android messages well...I noticed that the Text gets sent, and the service responds, but the message doesn't come through on Android messages... Only on another text app.(ex: your bank)
My point is that Android messages has issues on 8.1 that it didn't on earlier versions and I'm wondering if that's affecting services like Pushbullet in weird ways.
Sorry for the off topic.. But it's sort of related

Well, this is why I suggested it, as there is no issues when using pulse.
Join doesn't seem to work as well for me. I'm just gonna continue to subscribe to Pushbullet. I did like the interface though. Nicely done.

I like what I've seen from all three: Pushbullet, Join and Pulse. But I truly prefer Android Messages because it just flows better with my Android Wear watch. I sure hope they fix the Android Messages issues in 8.1 and soon.

I mentioned earlier that Mighty Text has never had an issue with Messages. All text and pictures sent from the PC are captured in Messages with no missing/dropped/failed messages. Free version has a 200 message limit that I have only hit once. I use it on my Wi-Fi tablet as well.
I had some weird issues with Join and Android Messages on my 2XL. Sprint Network. Sometimes received messages would show in join but not in messages and other times sent items through join weren't showing in messages. It was sporadic and not consistent. Eventually I turned Android Messages off from battery saving (doze) and I haven't had a problem since.
I'm on the May 8.1 security update. I just started getting this a day or two ago and have no idea where it's coming from. The attached screenshot was from an incoming call and doesn't show the phone number or an ad. Outgoing calls show the number and have an ad included. Does anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of it?

Have you installed any new apps before this started? Do you have a 3rd party phone app?

No nothing new, just normal Play Store updates to my existing apps. I run the stock Google phone app and am stock rooted with Magisk 16.4 and ElementalX-P2-1.07 kernel, the same as I have been running for months. I also run T-Mobile's version of Lookout Security and it hasn't found anything.
EDIT: I just noticed that it says App Backup & Restore about the popup, which isn't on my home screen. I have turned off its phone permissions and will see if that fixes it.
