HELP, phone stolen, changed gmail password, now cant track - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to find the location of my phone? It was stolen and I just a dumb ass changed my gmail password right away so the person who stole it couldnt access my email.
Is there any way to track it now since google cant be synced with it??
I didnt install any tracking apps on my phone.......I am running 5.0 Inject Th3ry
Thanks guys I appreciate your help!

did you register for a sense account?

sense online does not work with the thunderbolt yet...
I thought lookout had a way to push the app to your phone to track it?

If you signed up for Verizon's TEC insurance via Asurion, I believe you get a phone finder service with that. Don't know how accurate it is though. www.phoneclaim.com Best of luck!

If all else fails. Call verizon, tell them it's lost. Call back every day to see if they placed any phone calls. If they did, call the numbers they called. Verizon can provide you with that info. Disadvantage of that, is they can use your phone to buy things or make expensive calls. But if you keep an eye on verizon's history, you should be able to control that if it gets out of hand.
One time my phone was stolen and I was able to find the guy that stole it because his dad was one of his recent calls. Turns out papa was very disappointed haha! I got my phone back and he got a beating.

Go to the android market on you pc and install Lookout Plan B on you lost phone. It will track it.

Umm, yes it does. If your running a ROM with it and your signed into HTC Sense. There is an option under the Location settings called Phone finder.
If it is checked you can go to www.htcsense.com, sign in and it will track your phone. I just tried before posting this to make sure.

That sucks but you hopefully had phone finder on

You can't change a Gmail password with a phone. You have to know the old password to change and it has to be done online. They probably factory reset the phone so u won't be able to track it anyway

I think the OP stated he changed the password himself which would then make Plan B no good since it cannot access the market

Why don't you change your Google Account password back to what it was previously, then install Plan B from the market website. It will push to your phone so long as it's still trying to sync.

that's weird because when I try to sign up, the thunderbolt is not a choice when choosing your device.

Because stock, it isn't. But, for example, BAMF 3.0 rc4.9 uses it. And it works with the site.

There's a hacked .apk here that will work on stock ROMs (might have to be rooted). You sign up with your device set as a Desire HD. I'm running it on my stock OTA MR2 rooted ROM.

City ID

Hi does anyone know how to turn off City ID it gave me 10 day trial, but how can I opt out or turn it off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of it being on an AT&T phone. I read on the Wikipedia page for cityID, that verizon androids get a popup when the trial ends and you have to decline the service to disable it. No way to uninstall without rooting afaik.

I unistalled it and it still shows the City and State, though it hasnt been 10 days.

How'd you uninstall it? It wouldn't let me uninstall... says deviceDefault
It will popup a message after 14-day trial is over. Make sure you cliked No and it will no longer bother you.

yes, how do you UNINSTALL it? It's not even shown up in the Application List.
just keep an eye on your AT&T bill for charges...they will remove the $ and cancel the service but you gotta ask.
Root
Root & then install Titanium Backup & choose backup/restore & uninstall it there..
Root and use app quarantine.
Free app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.
This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select
"Update All".
If you ever want to get another 10-day trial go into Settings > Apps > Manage > Select All > CityID then Clear Data.
I remember this thread from when I had my Infuse 4G. Maybe this will help you ... It is a free version of City Caller ID...NOT the same as City ID but does the same thing free.

Mine is getting the same. Went from stock ROM to Team Nocturnal ROM. No change even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Lucky you to get yours working. After all this, just give me a $10 Amazon Gift Card and end this.
Can I root
OK I have a question. I just got the EVO LTE and want to root it. But I keep seeing that I need to clear the data from my Google Wallet or it will be forever bricked. But of course I am getting an error saying its not supported buy my country (WTF). I cleared the data in the app settings but wonder is it safe to root if I dont do it thru the app. I want to root but dont too loose wallet if I do. Any suggestions or should I just wait till Google figures out what to do with wallet.
Thanks for any advice

Mine still broke, at least google finally said something about the situation. Was pissing me off that no one was talking Sprint, HTC or google for a while. Just setup a friend with a GSIII on Friday and Google Wallet seemed to be ok no errors. Wonder how long it will take for fix.

not safe to root
killwrath, from what I read you should not root, you MUST clear your data from within the app itself (restore to factory). clearing you data will not help and you'll brick your secure element..

I'm using Thundershed 1.6 w Zoom Kernel. My Verizon works for me. I downloaded it through GooglePlay. Only thing is it doesn't auto log me in and it comes up with a missing info page when click but you simply click ok and it brings you to the login for the app and works from there. The data widget no long auto updates either. You have to click on it, log in to update it each time. Can use it on 3g/wifi/4g.
Maybe check out google play to see you have the latest version?

It needs internet. If I use wallet on 3g it takes awhile to go through due to sprints slow internet. The card might connect to your phone and share data through it once u sync it

Yes. I tried it myself. Turned the radio and wifi off and used it buy lunch at Sheetz.
My normal checking account bank card has NFC. What's stored on the card is just your account number and some other identifying items. That's also whats stored on the phone. whenever you swipe your card or bump your phone, the merchants system pulls your info from the card or phone and somehow confirms it's legit. I think that's how it works. So all your phone is doing is giving the merchant your account info. The merchant's system does the rest.

It's a WAP push. Something to do with the MMSc.
I got those when I went from a feature phone to smartphone.
I blocked the number but a call to CS should fix it. I'm blaming the iPhone.

It only started happening after I ran AOSP and Sense 5 based roms recently. Got it on sense 5 and restored and started getting it on stock as well. I tried googling the issue and got nothing. Not sure verizons goons are gonna be able to do anything.
Verizon support is not the best. Most don't even know what they are talking about. When I called once to get my data working again on my continuum the guy who I got had the same phone and he said he had the same problem but his data was just turned off and he didn't even know...
