not to be a **** but obviously that will not help me in the situation i am in, that's why i said this is dumb. anyone else got any real help or i'm pretty much screwed?
I dont know exactly how it works but it says its for if you have already lost your phone without having lookout on it ...ill go read up again on it
Edit...go to the site it says you can install it to the phone you lost thru thier site

idk how to get it back but you should get a app called "Where's my Droid"
Even if its on silent, you can send it a secret text that you decide, like "wake up dude!" and your phone starts ringing for howmany mins u set it.
Get a metal detector since you do not have "find my droid" loaded on it, the metal detector will help you find it and depending on where you are you can rent one for like 20 bucks for a day.
good luck

Yea ill remember this guy...next time i wont give him any "real help"
Dont know what he expects us to do......go over and help him look thru his yard for him?
"Not to be ****" but "obviously " you are a **** and dont really want any "real help"
Good luck with finding your phone,have a nice day and your welcome.
P.s. I cant believe this guy,i go out of my way and research an app for him and he repays the favor with arrogant snide remarks

Lol, yeah carlcj5, it's funny how some people interpret help. Instead of just being thankful, the stress of their lost phone is getting to them...
As far as the lost phone goes, there is no such thing as a stupid question. I think your pretty much screwed though. Other than getting some people to help you perform some FBI search patterns in your yard, hopefully you had insurance on the phone. Either way, good luck and when you do find your phone or get a replacement, listen to the software/app recommendations of the aforementioned members. It's good information..

Plan B was a great suggestion. I realize the OP is stressed/ignorant, but you can go and install the app from your desktop... then use it to find your phone.
Do you use Google Latitude? If so, that can help also. I use it at tailgates to find my buddies in the parking lots.
Wheres My Droid has been on my G1 since Day 1... almost 3 yeas now.
Heck, for that matter, go here and install Wheres My Droid on your phone too.... it will change the audio settings to LOUD.

Doesn't it ask on the phone to press "install" or "Cancel" ??
Or is that different? I don't have my vibrant right now, so idk, but i'm guessing thats what happens.
It just installs. Plan B would be a crap app if that weren't the case.

So here we are, 2 days later, and it seems you're still refusing to at least even TRY Plan B? Phone's battery is dead by now. Hope you came to your senses before now and tried Plan B before that happened, but i'm not overly confident that that's the case... At least you still have the lawn mower option available.

This is good and bad of the remote app install via market.android.com - it does not prompt you to confirm install on your phone, it does it automagically.
So keep your google account creds safe.

Hey, y'all, got an update...
First of all, I'm not one of the developers, and I'm not here to convince or argue with anyone regarding whether or not this App is worth $15. You all can figure that one out on your own...
• nonpafos contacted my via PM and offered to help; he's legit, and they use a tool hosted through their website to help log
• I can say this with 99% confidence: If you are getting the black screen and then quitting, you didn't get this through the Android Market. I know this, because I did the same thing. Whether through A*net, a friend, whatever, the APK you have is not the original. It has been modified, which leads me to:
• The *original* App checks for the Android Market purchase. It does it every time it boots, which is why buying this, backing it up, refunding it, and restoring it won't work. You can try it, but it won't work. I know this, because I did the same thing
• The App works if you purchase it legitimately. SPB support is also legitimate support, and replies quickly (at least during regular hours, AFAIK). They offered to refund me within 24 hours if I purchased the App through the Market. This was a necessary point in convincing me to try the App
• I support developers, and DO NOT support pirating. However, I will readily admit to using "alternate sources" for the purposes of testing an App before buying. You will very likely find that 15 minutes is not enough time to evaluate this App, but recognize that that is Google's limitation, not SPB's. My recommendation is to contact SPB and get an offer from them to refund within 24 hours. SPB/nonpafos: An awesome sign of good faith would be to publicly post that you will offer 24-hour test periods, but you may not want to
Again, whether or not this App is for you, especially at $15, is not the point of this post. However, I will at least support nonpafos and the rest of SPB for trying.
fin
Why don't all, app devs, do the market purchase check then? Lol
ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me

(lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!

Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.

I think I remember something about sprint family tracker. You could check that out, but I think your gps has to have been on.
Depending on how smart the person that picked it up is, you may be able to install a tracking app from the Market from your computer and find it(as long as they haven't logged out of your account). You may be surprised. I would retrace my steps and see if anyone turned it in. Since it is a Saturday night I would assume that most likely you left it at a restaurant or bar. I would go back to each one of them(once they open) and see if someone turned it in. If not, you will have to report it stolen and get a new one through TEP if you have it. I always, ALWAYS carry TEP on my phones. It's a lot easier to come up with $100 deductible then to come up with $600 to buy one outright.
Ok. I'm sober now drinking my coffee.
I had a beer pong table set out on my lawn (I own a lot of land and am going to be combing it today) but I know its not there.

I've called and texted my phone a million times (I have to slow down or my battery will die). I do have the $100 dollar insurance but am bummed out about the new hboot.
What's the name of the app that tracks it and how do I install it to my phone from either my tabs or PC?

The name of the app is Plan B. It's by the same company as Lookout.
Here's what it says on their website: "Lookout has an app called Plan B which can locate your phone after you've lost it. The phone needs to be powered on and have a network and data connection. Just go to the online Android Market (http://market.android.com), log into your Android Market account, and install the app to your missing phone. If you are able to install the app and it runs, you will begin to get emails to the Gmail account that you have registered with the Android market with location information."
I also read after you install it, you have to send a text that says "locate." I've even read where someone didn't start getting the emails til the next day. The phone had died, but then the person who had it recharged it!
Oh, yeah. After you install the app to your phone, install Lookout to your tablet, just in case. Not only can you do the locate thing, but Lookout also examines any app you download for malware.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

If you set up your account in HTC hub to use skins and you turned on the phone finder go to greener.com log on with the account you set up and you should be able to use that to find your phone.
The app they are talking about is called lookout you can google Android market on your computer to get it but I don't think it will install it but I could be wrong.

You can log into the market from your computer and have it install plan b on your phone remotely . The phone of course has to be on and your gmail account still linked on the phone. Plan b is for when you have already lost your phone and didn't have a tracking app installed. I just installed the sprint tep app that does the same thing as lookout for for free(I'm guessing you need to have tep for it to work?) That won't help now(plan b is your best shot) but it will help in the future if you ever misplace your phone

I had my iPhone 4 stolen (right in front of my eyes) before I switched to GNote.
I was wondering if there is an app/mod to enable password entry before a phone could be shut down. I guess you can simply take out the battery, if you really wanted to shut down even with this app/mod.
If it is possible, I might consider superglue-ing the backplate to the phone. So, if my phone is stolen, I will hopefully have more time to track my phone and recover it.
Anyone?

I was at McD's with my brother and my girlfriend. My brother was sitting across from me, and the phone was on the table inches away from me.
This teenager came up behind my brother, reached over him across the table to grab my phone and took off. We chased after him outside. He sprayed us with a bear spray (stronger than pepper spray), but I had glasses on, so I still caught him. But while we were struggling, he tossed the phone to another kid and I chased after him. By this time, I was too tired and they both got away.
I lost my phone, ruined a very nice coat and shoes because bear spray won't come out of it, and police lost my driver's license while taking my statement.
It was a very sh***y day, and if you don't have anything constructive to say in response to my question, don't reply. I know I won't be able to access the SIM card and SD card, but I rarely ever need to anyways, unless there is a major issue. I will deal with it then.
Jesus man thats terrible I am really sorry to hear about that. Ill keep my phone much closer to me now.
As for those kids you should have gave the one you caught something to remember. Something he will remember for the rest of his life.
I would have taken his left eye with my thumb.
Get a pistol for next time and he'll stop one way or the other. Preferably the other imo. One less wannabe thug making babies.

^ yep.
Got my CCW last year havent looked back since.
Well, in any case, is this type of mod possible?
Or, maybe a fake shutdown mod? It looks like the phone is shutting down, but it is not?

I'm sure you could write an app to do it.

There are apps where you can find GPS coordinates. Might help if someone steals your phone.

You are missing my point. If someone powers off the phone or pulls the battery, GPS tracking stops.
I want to make it as hard as possible to power off the phone.
Try Visidon - it's a face unlocking app - i use it to lock my settings, play, email and other apps you want to face lock

Go to play.google.com, sign in and search cerberus, install it and start an alarm/track the phone.
Profit.
Call phone?

Assuming the battery is still alive -- this (along with the standard have you tried calling it) is a brilliant plan.
My guess however is that it's a two year old. It's stuffed somewhere in the house (check the toy box because kids put everything BUT the toys in there).
Down the drain? It's not like you lost it outside
I'm praying that it wasn't placed in the garbage can!!!
That's pretty funny. Hope you find it. I like the install an app from the web store option to find it
My cat occasionally sits directly on top of my phone when alarms go off. It's surprisingly effective at muffling the sound. I've set my phone down on a bed and then forgot about it and couldn't hear it when calling to find it, until I threw the cat off. She hates phones.

With cerberus (assuming the phone was on) you could get GPS location to know for sure. You could even snap a picture from the front or back camera and have it sent to your email. Cerebus is the best app I have on my phone.

If the kid took it, I'm sure the GPS would show the house, but not exactly where in it
I mean if the kid is not old enough to tell you where the phone is then they shouldn't have left the house alone
And why wonder? Just check the trash. It might be dirty but so what?
Have you tried giving your kid some laxatives? Maybe it got eaten.

thats gold !!!!
I tried the cerebus trick .. but can't figure out how to create the account without the phone..
Step 1: Take Teddy (or other favorite toy)
Step 2: Explain to child that Teddy's gonna get it unless you get your phone back.

Hmmm. Unless she flushed it down the toilet, you should have found it by now. Out smarted by a 2 year old girl? *Cue conspiracy theory thoughts* Who else was in the house that Friday night/Saturday morning?

It's surprising the amount of places a small kid can hide things. I know they don't seem to be smart enough.. but when you find your keys jammed half-way into the floor vent in their room, you have to wonder.
I'm sure I believe this story but...
Tell her to call daddy and pick up your house phone. She'll go get yours to call you.
This reminds me of a similar experience. In my case the remote of the blu-ray player was missing. We founded it after a year, our son have put in our floor-standing tower woofer firing port. I remember shaking the damn thing, but since it has insulation in it i could not hear any rattling. One day i lifted the speaker for whatever reason and the remote fell off of the woofer port.
I know it is not helpful, but felt the need to share the story ... I guess you should look at some unusual places ...
