Hey so some guy called me today and was trying to scare me saying he was gona kick my ass and so on. so he said he knew where i lived and what not. tried saying he knows what school i go to. Well i remember about a year ago reading about this app for the touch pro that would go on the internet after receiving a call and tell you all their data. from phone number to relatives and service provider. i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get this? It would be a lot of help so i can scare him back thanks!

I solved this finally..
There was a wrong SMS Service Center set...dont know why though cos neither I or my sis was not touching it.
Maybe hero configured itself incorrectly?
Hello people
My sister got a new HTC Hero for Xmas.
I helped her a lot with the phone - although I am a hTC HD WinMo user.
Android is totally new thing for me and I cant figure this out.
She does not use a plan, but credit (do you call it like that? she charges her SIM card with certain amount of money and then spend it on calls and stuff- no data though, which sucks )
So when she sends out a message a notification comes out saying unable to send message though it counted off the money (the sms was paid for without being sent)
Can somebedy please help me solve this issue as I am lost?
I spent a lot of times on google and here in xda but could not find what I seek. It seems that this issue is not that common (?).
Thank you in advance.
PS: I upgraded the ROM to the newest one from the hTC support site. I didnt flash any custom ROM and wont do that since the phone is not mine.
PS2: In the "All Messages" screen the message is still there with a little triangle with the "!" in it.
PS3: Phone is not branded. Carrier is Orange slovakia.
I am confused.
I lost my phone last night in a yellow cab in NYC.
I had the tasker setup to locate phone when i text it a certain mssg.
I tried this morning to track down my phone but the taxi was all over the place and its nearly impossible to get my phone because even when it did stop moving...the adress it gave me was a large apt building and theres no way i can get my phone back even if i do know its in the building somewhere.....
I need any advice i can get please.
I would get in touch with the cab company.
Walk into the apartment with dual Uzis and go door-to-door until someone looks scared ****less. No, but seriously, just call the cab company, ask if anyone used the cab to arrive at that apartment or near the area, then yeah, how you confront them I'm not too sure.

The worst part about this is knowing where it is and knowing i have a limited amount of time to find it before its gone forever...and as far as i can see i think its still in the cab as ive been tracking the phone by gps and its been all over the city....I just dont know the cab medallion number and its nearly impossible to catch this cab driving around in the city.
I don't know if tasker gives you network or GPS location. There is an app called lookout plan b. You can install it from market.android.com from a computer onto your phone remotely and locate your phone with GPS. If that's more accurate, that may help you track it down easier.

Yes Entropy ive tried many times and at first it just seemed that it was still in the back of the cab unnoticed as no one was picking up. I went online and suspended my service and i also know now that the battery has died since my gps location isnt responding anymore and when tried to call goes straight to voicemail now.
One thing is that i checked my call log online and noticed there was a 911 call made from the phone yesterday at around 7pm. The phone is locked so he must have either tried to get in thru the emergency call or called 911 to report the missing phone.
Either way i called the 2 precincts in Manhattan that receive lost items and claim nothing was brought in. It seems to me that even if it was, they would not want to tell me anyway, and are really rude.
I lost my chance of finding the phone as it is dead now and the service has been cancelled. maybe if someone tries to charge it up and turns it on i can try to track it again.
I had no insurance on the phone. But i did pay for the phone with my american express gold card and they have a protection plan that covers stolen/ accidental damage till 90 days after purchase. I sent a claim to them so hopefully they will reimburse me the money paid . Then i called ATT to mail me another sim card to my house. My brother has an upgrade and i spoke to the rep and he said i can do a cross upgrade where i can get a phone for the upgrade price without having his line added to a data plan as well.
In the end i might get the same phone back for free but with having another line on my family plan under a 2 year contract. I loved that phone a lot...running your kernel and unnamed. Even if i get the same phone again...idk if it will be the same for me lol.
Also im so stupid i didnt have any nandroid backups on my comp and were only on my sd card. lucky i had titanium backup stored in my dropbox so that is good.
Also lookout for android is ****. After i realized i had lost it...i upgraded to lookout premium for 14 days free trial and tried to lock and wipe my phone. didnt work. tried to locate my phone using that as it stated it might be more accurate. didnt work. tried to use the scream function. didnt work. nothing worked and i tried searching forums and i think a lot of ppl have problems with it not working... I should have tested it out before i actually needed it.
Also thank god for 1.3.1 update that fixed the lock screen issue that i installed a couple days ago...otherwise all my info was just out in the open....im still worried tho...wish the stupid wipe function worked.
I just lost my phone, but im not sure...i just have no idea where it is, its in silence.
i havent called sprint since i havent get out of my house, so it has to be here and i hope its not my lil devil sisters playing a prank on me. BUT I JUST CANT FIND IT. Its there anyway that i can track down my device???? it ON!!
or i dont know if maybe sprint can track it down for me?????

If you have activated Family Locator Service and are paying for it then yes. Otherwise no.
If this is something you are prone to, there are some creative profiles for Tasker that will help you out next time.
Found the phone, just missing the battery.
found it inside the dog food container.......

So something about she had to use the sim that came with the phone. and now she cant get into the phone .
is there a motorolla activation password or something . The new sim is working in her old Razr for now.
Is there antyhing I can do to get her phone back working?

this happen to my sister's phone. we just called AT&T and they had to reset the phone from their end. I honestly don't know what happened nor how it got to that point, but the AT&T rep I spoke with apparently knew exactly what to do.
I thought it was my sister trying to set a passcode on her phone but accidentally set a SIM passcode or something.
anyway, have her try this. see if it works.
Only pass codes she could have set are the SIM or the lock screen password I think. We'll better placed to help when you can give some accurate feedback as to exactly what the phone is, or is not doing.
Please anyone i am in desperate need of some help! I have a SafeLink phone just a simple one. But it's been my phone for about a year already. I left my phone outside on my back porch for like 15 mins one day while I was inside feeding my baby and when I grabbed it again it wouldn't make any calls or texts or anything. Just a blank white hollow triangle on the top like I had no service. When I try to make a call it tells me cellular network unavailable. I rebooted my phone hoping it would make it work but it did not. Then some message appeared on my status bar it said SIM card not provisioned mm#2.
I have called multiple times to the company and I get put on hold for ever. In the end they tried telling me my phone should be working. It states that my phone number is in service and my sim card is provisioned. Usually I wind up frustrated and hanging up.
I tried calling my phone number and it would ring and eventually tell me the person you called has a voice mail box that has not been set up yet. When I had an answering machine. Then today when I called it gave me some crazy message about "welcome to Verizon wireless, the number you are calling has been changed, disconnected, or no longer in service" BUT MY SERVICE HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH VERIZON. ALWAYS SAFELINK.
Today. I called them again and sat through 2 hours of being on hold and finally they asked for my account information and they told me it did not match the information they had on file for me. WTF?! They could not pull up anything with my phone number and my name. I am shocked and I don't know what could have happened. I do know that there is some one who stays here at my mom's house who lives in the back bedroom that happens to be a shady scandelous person and he is also pretty good with hacking etc on phones. He knows I know all the crap he does like steals people's info to get new phone service so he basically never has to pay a phone bill. He works Verizon wireless and always has a phone he never pays for. He also knows that when I buy the house from my mom in May I am subsequently going to be throwing his shady freeloading ass on the street. Is there any way that he could have done something to my phone service? What does this sound like to you guys. I feel like going back to his room and hitting him with a damn cast iron skillet. (But I won't)
But i am at my wit's end. My phone is my only means of communication and my husband works a lot so I am home most of the time with my 9 month old son and I need to be able to have a line of communication since my husband takes the only car to work.
Help!!!!!!!
Note also when they asked for my meid or imei they said it doesn't match the information they have on file for me... How is this possible?!?!
