Best security app ever for the Nexus 7

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense has been thoroughly tested on the Nexus 7 and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.
It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free.
It requires that your phone be rooted (as most peoples are on XDA)
Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

Does it try to connect to every available wifi network around it? Like if it's not connected after being stolen and detects a wifi network will it connect to it and send data?

No, but thanks for the suggestion. It currently caches data offline and as soon as a WiFi or cellular connection is made, the application uploads the data.

This is fantastic
Would it be possible to log which apps are used on the device?
I'm currently trialling Airwatch for a project I'm working on for a fleet of phones and tablets. From what I've tested so far, I'd like to recommend a switch to your solution.

Looks pretty cool. I just bought Cerberus, but would give this a go if I hadn't done that.

looks like a good product. Will give it a try. Contrary to what you have said, other apps CAN survive a system reset or wipe of the phone. you can also embed Cerberus in the rom so that it survives a system reset and you can also hide it and make it look like a system app in the tasks list.
What i like about this product though is how it can track calls, and sms etc. Though this does obviously raise some privacy concerns with all this info being stored on a third party server.

Jeepfreak, It embeds itself in the system so that it is treated as if it is a program that came with the phone or tablet. In effect, it injects itself into the rom of the phone (hence the need do root to install). this way out will still be they if you reset the phone.it will not survive the rom being replaced though i assume, which is the same limitation on other apps of this type.

I'd rather have my device stolen and wiped than trust a third party.
At £200 the N7 is almost disposable.

Looked at the title and thought... Avast... happy with it, and have no plans on losing something this big. I have mine in an auto on/off case. If the secret code isn't entered in 15 seconds, my N7 starts smoking and disintegrates.

New version just released, check our main thread for details.

Cerberus does the same and has longer history.....so many features....

No it doesn't, Cerberus tries to save money by not having a database store your information. This is one of the major differences.
What this means to the end user is the following:
If your battery is dead or the phone is off, you cannot see where your phone was a little while ago or see any of your logs. The map will show the location of the last time you manually told it to check and logs will only pull if the device is on.
Root Defense Keeps a copy online and automatically updates background info. This means you'll be able to see where it was right before the battery died or was turned off. Also, all the logs would still be available to look at.
Another major difference is that Cerberus only sends a copy of your SMS or calls logs where Root Defense records them in real time. This is pretty major because if I have Cerberus on my kids phone and they call or text someone they shouldn't, they just have to delete the message of call log and Cerberus would never know. With Root Defense logs can't be wiped.

This is useless, unless your N7 is taken back to a wifi hotspot you have previously allowed it's not going to report back.
Nice idea but only useful for phones
If I stole a N7 the first thing I would do is wipe the rom.
This will only catch a complete idiot and you would be one too for letting your N7 out of your sight.
No security software of this type will be any good unless CWM finally gets password locking.
Shame on the OP for spamming his app when he's already got a dedicated thread for it.

That is pretty harsh, the OP can post anywhere it is appropriate.. and this is one of those places. Also, you overestimate the intelligence of criminals- half of the people on XDA can't flash a rom, why would a random criminal know how? How to go into settings and perform a full wipe maybe.. but that would leave the software on the device.
Eventually they will connect to internet.

Cerberus and avast (and other apps I am sure) can also survive wipe / hard reset. As long as the rom is not flashed, the app stays installed. Cerberus stores very little data which is why it has a once off cost only.
Different pricing models provide different services. At their core, all of these types of apps do pretty much the same thing, but let's try and stick to the facts when saying which can and which can't do things.

Phone randomly/spontaneously did a hard reset/wipe!?! Help!

So I left the office to walk to the train station, with my phone in my pocket. The phone is completely stock, unrooted, with a pin lock screen, per corporate IT standards.
I pull out my phone at the train station, and notice it is rebooting. Weird, I think, but it's happened before so I didn't think much of it. But when it finishes booting up, I notice that the lock screen is different with no pin pad. I unlock, and see that the phone has done a hard reset, and wiped everything. I have now lost a bunch of important text messages and call logs, as well as all my settings.
I am beyond livid right now, and honestly feel like ripping someone at Samsung and/or Sprint's head off.
That being said, I am afraid to touch anything, in case there is a way to undo this. I tried doing some searching, but couldn't come up with anyone with the same issue on this phone.
Can anyone speak to why this happened and if I'm totally screwed?

sometimes when phones are stolen the original user if they have the right apps installed they can do a remote wipe.... although I have no explanation of what happen to your phone though

Well I bought this phone directly from a Sprint store, so can't imagine that would be it... I thought maybe for some reason the Good app (what I use for work) could have been used to initiate a remote wipe, but there's no good reason that tech would have done that without consulting me.

Check with your IT folks and make you're an isolated case. If you are, then they, or Sprint need to provide an answer.
We set those permissions on personal devices (not company owned) , and if the user agrees to access company resources, and if you haven't subscribed or installed a third party app for your own protection, then it narrows it down.
There are documented restarts on the Sprint active issues page but not seeing any hard resets on its own..

I just gave them a ring, and they said that absent me reporting the phone stolen/missing, or termination of employment, they would never initiate a remote wipe without first consulting me. God help the Sprint person that has to deal with me in 5 minutes.

you could have a bug in your software do a factory reset.

[Q] Permanently disabling cell service?

In just a few days, I'll be upgrading my trusty, old reliable HTC Incredible 2 to a Samsung GS4. I plan to hand down my DInc 2 to my grandson to use as a Wi-Fi only Android device (music, games, Skype), but I'd like to insure he doesn't inadvertently hop on the VZ network with my existing cell phone number and knock me off the mobile network.
Is there a way to permanently disable cell service on the Incredible 2?
Thanks!

Now that I've wiped and installed about six different ROMs on my retired DInc2, I remembered why I wanted a deeper solution. Every time I factory default (or install a new ROM), the phone tries to reach out to the Verizon mother ship, possibly interfering with my new phone.
Is there a way, perhaps by using QPST or through the EPST (##778) menu, to zero out the mobile voice/text/data info in the phone so that it survives reboots and ROM flashes?

I did try the QPST equivalent (CM10 ROMs don't support ##778) and cleared out my MDN, MCC and MIN. Ironically, I wasn't getting the "Activate your phone" bugivation before I cleared them, but am now. It would seem that Verizon believes an unprogrammed phone ... requires programming (activation).
I've installed SManager and have radiooptions 1 set on each boot, and have the phone in Airplane Mode. This should be sufficient for my grandson, unless he starts mucking around.

its impossible for your grandson to "interfere" with your phone once its deactivated in their switch. CDMA access is granted/denied via imei codes, and if the line that has your # associated with it has your GS4's imei associated with it, then its relegated to using the global roaming capability based upon the sim card which would have nothing to do with your service, even if he went to the UK and hopped on vodaphone (verizons partner/parent company) i wouldnt worry about it. Just make sure you factory reset and that hes signed in to the play store with his gmail account, and you shouldnt have any "crosstalk" between devices...

sense based roms will default to the "activate your phone" screen if its not activated, unless the dev has removed that part from the script. CM roms, in my experience, have the tendency to skip that part. My dinc2 is deactivated and factory reset (it was donated to me so i could have a new droid to try to break, making it the 6th in my current collection) and there simply isnt a way (apart from imei cloning) for your grandson to futz with your service once your old phones imei has been rmoved from vzw's activation system. Not trying to beat a dead horse here, just trying to be as informative/helpful as i can whilst avoiding sounding like a ****

UI 2.5 bricked my Note 10+

I downloaded the September security patch and UI 2.5 update over the air for my Verizon Note 10+ the other day. Since then, my cell service is non existent. I can't make any calls or use any data, it only works using wifi. The signal bars are grayed out, or sometimes have an "x" next to them. The airplane mode is not on, but the airplane mode icon is a shade of light blue rather than being either gray for off or blue for on. I tried chatting with VZ since it was after hours....that didn't help. They had my fiddle with resetting network settings and doing a factory reset, neither worked. I've taken the sim out and reinserted, no luck. If not on wifi, SIM status says network = not available, mobile network state = disconnected, service state = radio off, IMS registration status = off. It's a non rooted virgin VZ Note 10+, SM-N975U, not 5G, running android 10.
Today I went to an authorized VZ store, who replaced the SIM. Didn't change a thing. They suggested I go to an actual VZ store, which I would have but couldn't look up on web without a signal. They directed me to one who swapped the SIM again and had me do another reset. No luck. They popped the SIM in another phone and it worked, just no luck in my phone.
VZ tech coaches said I was on my own and to reach out to Samsung or Google because it must be a hardware issue. How does a software update cause a hardware problem? They had no response.
Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure everything you want is backed up...
Try resetting network settings and clearing the system cache on the boot menu.
If that doesn't work, try a hard boot.
You can also try uninstalling the last update if it permits to go back to the factory load version.
Last if that fails, hard reset.
If that don't get it it will need to be reflashed...

Thanks, I've tried all of the above except the uninstall (which I don't believe it will allow) and the reflash. I haven't installed a ROM or anything like that since the HTC Touch days. Ha. So, I need to find a copy of VZ firmware or factory ROM? #Noob

If it's still under warranty let Samsung do it. In the US they have centers as well at Best Buys.
See what your bloody carrier says
That sucks.

If you bought through a carrier, don't you get a couple years warranty?
The Note 10 series has only been out just over a year so they should honour any warranty...

I got it the first day it came out, so JUST over a year. No more warranty. I also cheaped out on the VZ insurance since I baby my phones. The thing is pristine kit and would want insurance for loss, theft or droppage, not because a factory update bricked it.

So you do have leverage with Verizon; make them own* it if possible.
Not sure how Verizon tech support is structured but ask for advanced tech support. Escalate the case if need be. Keep calling back if the reps don't know what to do until you find the smart ones.
Try their customer retainment group if all else fails, they are the ones that make the last ditch effort by the carrier to try to keep you from leaving.
A samsung Experience center might be your best bet as they can do advanced diagnostics... or so they've claimed. Never used these myself.
Their phone tech support is horrible; the US Samsung group are the best of this lot.
*Doesn't always work but many times I've gotten AT&T and Verizon (landline) to remedy situations. There been times where it took dozens of calls to find the right person and for them to feel my motivation, lol.
There's more than one way to hack...

I had the same problem as you after the update and after playing in the settings it turned out that the set data limit was turned on, I turned that off and my data is working again. Look under the data usage and see if that's it for you.

After the last few factory resets, I did get warnings from the "setup wizard" about data being limited due to time of day or a data limit....but the data limit and/or warnings are not on. The phone won't even activate, yet somehow Google recognizes the phone number and all during install. So, I'd think it could read the SIM.

Found some very helpful reps at a local Verizon store. While they couldn't fix the phone, I will allegedly receive a refurbed unit tomorrow with no deductible.

What about time settings? Are they correct?
>It be preferable to keep this unit if you took great care of it, many don't!<
A Samsung Experience center has advanced diagnostic capabilities (allegedly) and/or could reflash it.
I think it's either a settings or firmware issue not hardware.
Play with it, Android's love attention... or get it more surrogate wuv before you give up on it.

Cannot download or update apps on unlocked S20+ on T-Mobile

I cannot update or download apps in play store on my unlocked S20+ when connected to only data (I have TMobile) regardless of signal strength or 5G or LTE. Works fine on wifi but if I shut wifi off it just hangs on "pending" anytime I try to download any app at all. I've tried clearing cache, data, uninstall play store updates, cleared network settings, got a new sim card from T-Mobile and tonight I even factory reset my phone and it STILL doesn't work!!
I'm totally stumped. I've been with T-Mobile for just over a month now and this issue has been non-stop the past 2-3 weeks. Before TMobile I was on Verizon with this phone and never once had this issue!
Any ideas?

Try switching SIM slots as a test

Check Access Point Names configuration.
Replace sim card; handle it like a ram stick!!!
Out of circuit they are susceptible to ESD damage. "Techs" normally handle them quit carelessly. Failure can be instant or could take weeks, months, years to manifest itself.

Try using a wifi connection.
Google apps are a mess...

Just a thought, I know carriers have parental control type security on data networks, you have to opt out to access 'adult' content, wondering if that could be blocking it, if your carrier has an app you may be able to use that, I could with mine in the UK on EE, otherwise you need to purposely visit an adult site and follow the links on the block page / call carrier
I'd probably call T-Mobile anyway, sounds like they are the issue considering you already factory reset the phone

This is wild, but today it started working fine on its own out of NOWHERE. I am clueless. I changed nothing. And I am fully expecting it to randomly stop working again at some point.
