i disabled and never used it or sync'd with it :/
Edit: I'm bad, disregard.
I'm pretty sure there's a file you can pull from the phone, I just can't remember where the info is stored.

does anyone know the path so i can retrieve my contacts? that would be greatly appreciated!
You could go to verizon and they can pull the data from the phone with a weird little machine in back, sorry I can't be more help

i believe they still need to use the touchscreen though.. but i might try this if they dont charge me.
ugh.... I know there's a file somewhere in there you could probably dig out with ADB. I know I've read about it in these forums somewhere, but I can't remember where. If it's on /system, I'm not sure you could pull it off without root. Assuming you left debugging on, achieving temp root then extracting it should be possible if Verizon's gizmo can't do it.
i went to verizon and he was able to transfer them with the machine. took a while but he got my texts too. just had to pay 10 bucks.

Use ti backup and freeze sync service ill post later how to adb and freeze the sync service
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
Heres how to do it with your computer you need to be rooted
open up cmd and go to the folder with adb mine is located at C:\ADB
run the following
adb shell
su (Allow the super user response on your phone if you get one)
pm disable com.fusionone.android.sync.service
reboot
Doesn't that stop all sync?

Yeah... I'm not doing that... but I think this narrows are little problem down to a common software glitch.

Im waiting on more confirmation as to any ills of this before freezing it.. Who else has the balls to do it?
Frozen
I froze mines, as so far I haven't had a repeat text in the last hour and no adverse effects as far as I can tell.
Well I'm going to do it too! Thanks for clarifying the exact purpose.

Ok im doin it.. Im gonna use bloat freezer.
Done.
If this does work and does not ill effect anything (i believe we do have a winner here folks), then PLEASE Sticky this and give credit to Lancer!
Ive only gotten 1 so far all day not sure if it was the person that maybe sent two but either way I was getting 100+ a day of duplicate texts
Actually deleted all my frozen apps and now I have close to 160 mb of free ram

ditto, I've done the deodex and delete thing to almost all of motoblur. I'm using the vanilla 2.2 sms, contacts storage, and calendar however I think I gotta swap some framework files to make it all work properly
for now Dw dialer and contacts is filling in the gaps. yes I can save contacts
aside from calendar its still broken.
Works for me, did it about a week ago and haven't seen any ill effect.
Done... Will post in a few days if any adverse effects. Thanks!
This indeed works! I was getting tons of duplicate texts (worst was 14 of the same one) and just messing around with freezing stuff I decided to freeze the sync service as it is only used for the sync the contacts to VZ. I didn't need that since I have all mine backed up to gmail. Since freezing it I have yet to receive another duplicate.

Turns out that it did not solve my issue.. I froze it and it was fine for about 2 days then i am getting 6-7x multiple texts again

Same here... They don't seem to be AS BAD as they were before but just got 3 in a row.
So far, it seems to be helping but that may change in a few more days.
If you have USB debugging enabled, turn that off, and reboot. It worked for me. Haven't seen any duplicates in days.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Try installing plan b on your device from the android market online. It will let you track it if it has data still on

Phone is still active. I've been installing apps on it remotly and been allowing then to I.stall paid apps so they they feel like keeping it. Due to a failed root attempt with odin a while back the phone has no recovery and hence no way to delete any user data. Factory data reset won't work until a new recovery is flashed. It's off right now but I keep calling it and it appears he turns it on every couple hours to mess with it. I have all info to be able to track it but the beat I've done is within 2500 feet. I need an apk that will remotly turn gps on to narrow the search. Can't wait till I find this guy im not happy about my wifes rights beinf violated like this. Thank you for anyone's help.

I 2nd the use of Plan B. It should be able to turn on the GPS automatically after it is installed, and you can restart the locate process through a text message to your phone.
Installed.....no email. I even texted locate like the instructions said. Nothing..

Try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antivirus.trial&feature=more_from_developer . This trial version lasts long enough for you to be able to locate it (I suppose). Notice this feature: "Find your lost or stolen phone and locate it on a map" . It should help you.

Did you read/try post #8?
Yeah no go man. I know who it is name DOB. My wife works at a blood bank that pays out to donors she gets her car broken into. I traced the phone to a local town ten minutes away. Got it down to an address. Then at 700 am lost find finder sends me the same gps location as the night before. Same place but this time not in the yard the dot on the map is right on the house. 704 I'm in the car. Arrive to find an empty sqwat house for doing dope. Show pictures of people who we googled from that street that had mugshots from previous arrests to the curious neighbors. The point out one picture as a guy who used to live there. Said he comes at night still and gets high. Ok now I'm interested in this dude. Was told by a niegbor check some apartments on the other side of town. Get there and ask around to people leaving to work. Find a guy who says yeah they're always in apartment x... Then same gentleman tells us his car was broken into same way samething grab the purse walk away grab wallet out of purse and anything looks good and drop the purse in a bust ten feet away. Check records at wufes work same guy donated same time phone was stolen. He finished donating at 240 at 250 on camera you can see them breaking into the car at her work with just there back to the camera. No face shots. Go figure police are worthless. They don't even want the address we gps located. I'm close to this guy I tell ya. I'm gonna find him recovered phone or not and get ours . Just still trying to track the phone out.

I'm trying to find a locking app similar to the lock on my iPad, when the phone is rebooted or sleep for more the 2 hours the iPad requires a code to unlock. But during normal use it's just normal unlocking. Anybody know of a Android app that would be similar?
Thought my note slipped out my pocket the.other afternoon while working on my truck and didn't realize I didn't have it till later that night, the last time I used it was outside my apartments with my truck and I automatically thought it fell and somebody found it and took it. Tried to call it but it just kept going straight to voicemail so that definitely made me think it was stolen since my.phone wasn't off before. But I.found it later under the seat in my truck haha. I want a.locking app so if it does get taken and the person turns it off and tried to turn it back on then it will ask for a code and lock them out

I don't know if it supports 2 hours as an interval, but the stock rom does this. Home, menu, settings, security, I think. Somewhere in there is the option to set the time after which your PIN will be requested.

I wish we have something like HTC sense provides. Locate phone and if stolen you can delete contents of the phone from the HTC sense website.

A while back I lost my streak and I'd call it and it ring and go to voice mail except once someone rejected the same call and I knew someone had it. Lookout has an app that's called plan b that you can install remotely and will activate your gps so you can find it. Long story short I retrieved my streak and the guy who took it and wouldn't return it ended up with a broken car window. I also believe there's an app out there that'll completely lock your phone down too. Check lookout's suite of software, they may have something for you

Try out Cerberus it can remotely take pictures using the front or back camera and it emails the picture to you, bad guys face is there and also can use the back camera to figure out where they are. GPS locator remotely wipe SD and phone memory and also can set up other people's numbers (that you trust obviously) that you can send a wipe message to your phone from as well through text.
And its only $4 for a lifetime license.

Yes, Casual installs drivers that have given some people problems connecting the phone to pc after unlocking. That video guide shows you how to remove them so you can connect again
It actually was kies that was installed on my laptop...go figure.
Anyways phone is reset back to stock and the text issue has not been a problem. Nock on wood.

Is there a recovery already on your device? If there is and you have an sdcard try moving the root files to that card with a friends phone or something. If there isn't then you might be out of luck. Keep searching I'm sure there's something you can do.
