Been noticing this for a while but some apps don't work on mobile data. I can access Gmail weather and others but can't get food apps and plex n stuff. Really need help figuring this out
Update: some reason I have to restart my phone for it to work?
I think it could be sim card cause when I reinsert it the data works flawlessly
Can I get some help on this matter? All the phone company wants me to do is factory reset and I know that doesn't work I just need to know if its really a bad sim card or something else.

Hi all,
Using Froyo on my Kaiser and now its saying at the unlock screen "REWARD IF FOUND Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx (looks like an American number)
Im sure my phone isnt stolen as i distinctly remember buying it lol.
I dont want to give the number out incase some dude get pranked.
On another note, does anyone know how to adjust the touchscreen as the touchscreen adjust app just crashes and ive tried reseting screen to factory default as well.
Thanks.
Ok guys this is getting worse now, is anyone experiencing this?
It now says "This phone belongs to (looks like a Dutch name) and then their number.
The phone cant launch any applications and I am unable to get into fix permissions, clear dalvik cache etc because it doesnt stop there when loading, it just goes straight past and doesnt give me a chance!
Ive tried reloading another nbh on it and still the same.
Help?
Try loading another build on it.
Seriously, this is strange behaviour, but flashing another nbh will not change this, that'll only change the kernel and boot files.
You could also try flashing a stock WM rom, as this will certainly clean out everything on the phone, after that reflash and install android again.
Yea I know, weird or what, its a bit worrying as now I have 2 peoples phone numbers? =S
I would be rather angry if i was using a service like this, only to find out people are getting my phone number?
Ive asked this in the past but, is there anyway to save the txts, its just everytime I switch, i have to clear our data too as it seems to cause issues as well.
Saving a backup saves all data and program data, which I believe causes problems.
Thanks

I use Astro to backup apps (Menu>Tools>Application Manager/Backup)
And either MyBackup or Titanium backup for everything else.
My wife's external sd card is going, possibly already bad. She has an HTC vivid and use the picture folder for her lockscreen. Its been showing an error but sometimes, less and less, works. I put it in the computer and it says it needs formatted. Not good. I have kids pics I would really like to save. Is there any tools for something like this. She is kinda distraught so any advice would greatly appriciated.
MiniTool Power Data Recovery is free, and works well.
Also, see if your SD card can be replaced on warranty. It won't get your data back, but at least you'll get a new card.

Thanks. I'll give it a try and let you know if it works. I have never had one go bad before so this is new learning. Thankfully I have semi recent backup so it may not be a total loss if I cant access it. Really, in fairness to phone brands, if I had been using HTC Syc or Kies for me, I wouldnt have to worry about it. Damn pain in the ass, useful software!

That tool was perfect. Thank you very much. Everything was saved! If any one else happens to need this kind of help on any bad drive, this has a good likelyhood of helping. Be sure to thank Post-Mortem for his knowledge as well.
Glad it worked out for you.
For the future, you can also look into cloud services which will automatically upload pictures you take on your phone, to the cloud. Pogoplug and Ubuntuone do it, and I think Dropbox does as well (I don't use Dropbox).
I've sat my phone on top of a car and forgot it was there and now the car is gone and the phone is not there it's still on and working with cell signal but I don't have location services turned on please I need help locating it and it has a custom rom on it making it a i9505 so it wouldn't let me install plan b on it and activate location through text PLEASE REPLY SOON AS POSSIBLE this phone has very important documents and other things that I do not want to lose or erase! Thank you!
the phone most likely fell off unless you had one hell of a grippy case or it was in the bed of a pickup, I'm not too sure what you could do however, did you try scouting the general area of the car? do you have any backups?
The phone was found and in terrible condition... it was ran over a few times with the case on and it still didnt make it.Its destroyed but i did recover my sd card and sim card; i just cant get access to my internal storage which i really needed.

Have you tried hooking it to a computer?

Hi,
I am currently on the custom CM11 on my Samsung S3. My problem is that my son keeps playing with the cell and unknowingly installs apps or malware on the phone through the ads in the games. Can someone please suggest to me a way to lock this maybe a phone setting or an Apps that wont let him or anyone install anything new on the phone without a password.
Thanks,
Matt

Maybe block the ads altogether with adaway or something similar?
Turn off WiFi and mobile data maybe?
I have tried the adaway and others like it but some apps will still have ads like talking tom etc. as for the second option of turning the wifi and data off that is the only way I currently have but if the phone is lying somewhere and he gets hold of it all bets are off. I am surprised there is no popular app to password protect launching or installing new apps.
I have no idea what happened. I was cleaning up leaves in my yard today, went to pull my phone out to take a picture, and found that it had factory reset itself in my pocket, and wiped my SD card along with it. I have a lot of my stuff backed up, but there is a lot that's not backed up as well. I'm really hoping there is a way to get my data back -- is there?
A quick search on Google for recovery applications gives many options, but they all need root access, and I don't think that's possible on the Snapdragon.
I'm currently running a scan on my SD card outside of my phone with an application called MiniTool. No idea if this will yield results or not.
Any suggestions?
Theres an app called galaxy labs but dont think that would be much use I think what would have happened was phone in pocket pin got accidentally typed 10 times to then cause the factory reset you could try the samsung and google route to restore but might not have everything
Ugh. Bummer, for real. My heart is broken.
Is there a way to disable the 10 attempts thing? I've noticed that this phone unlocks itself and hits buttons quite often. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.
It's also possible that someone hacked your google or Samsung account and wiped your device remotely...
Not probable but I'd definitely be resetting passwords...
Just a thought...

Yes. Under secure lock settings. It's off by default actually normally.
If your sd card wasn't encrypted you have a chance of finding those files. Just make sure you keep it out of the phone and don't write anything on it until you have been able to use a file eraser app to find them. I've done it before myself.
That sucks man, if you had encrypt the card then i don't think data recovery will help. Well here's to hoping you didn't.
Losing data sucks especially if it's years worth....I've been there. I had an old tool I used back in the day I'll try to find it again man that thing did wonders recovering images but videos not so much, did recover a good amount though.
Also, don't go downloading any and all data recovery tool on the internet....lots are bogus.
