If you have insurance they will replace lost phones...
If you don't, Sprint extended the open insurance until the 30th... Technically it would be insurance fraud, but I'll leave that up to you. There's no way for them to know.

Well damn it Dave

make sure you do the remote wipe via the htcsense site so whoever picks up your phone doesn't get any valuable access to your data!

Well, that SUCKS! I'd be pissed, too, if I lost mine.

Is it too late to use this? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=search_result

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 got in the car with somebody to get cigs (with baggy sweat pants on) at the local convenient store. I went back to the store (piss drunk) and asked the two girls if they've seen it and nada ****ING thing (its not in either of the two vehicles either)
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?
Thanks guys.
Edit... I just read what I wrote..... I may still be a little drunk. Hiccup. Hope that all made sense.

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.
EDIT:looks like it will install it once that is done go to lookout.com and set up the account and hopefully that will work. there is also an app called where is my droid that might help here it the link to it https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid&feature=search_result

I hope it doesn't have to come down to you using it, but if so, as of the 9th the phones are NOT refurbed and are hboot 1.4, so you will be able to root =)
Hope you find your original one though.

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

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

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.

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.

Stolen phone - PLEASE HELP!

My phone was stolen in Chicago, I currently live in NYC. Basically the person who stole my phone accidently uploaded her images to my facebook mobile account. I have an Android Vibrant phone rooted with Teamwhiskeys Rom. I was wondering if there was a way I could get in touch with the phone. Tmobile and the chicago police cannot do anything for me but, Android Market can still send Apps from the Browser to the phone itself. I can download apps straight to the phone right now.
I need a GPS / text service app or some way to message the person.
Can you guys help me out?
Thank you.
Installing software to it won't help, as you can't then run the software. Even remote installing something like WaveSecure to it won't help, because you can't set it up remotely.
Plus, why do you think the thief cares about you trying to contact them? Your phone is gone, dude. Replace it, and next time install some security software right away.
well I did buy a new phone, I'm just pissed that the person uploaded photos to my account. So now I'm installing about 1000 apps on the phone via Market. Hoping it downloads, freezing her phone, and making her wipe it... not knowing that my phone needs odin to go back to stock. If I cant have my phone, no one can..
and there are some apps that can help... Check out Plan B
Well an obvious way to message the person would be to send yourself a text message. There are many websites that allow you to do that.
Sympathy
Dude, my heart goes out to you.. I always think about the possibility of my phone getting into the wrong hands. I'm sorry I can't help you except by saying..so sorry.. However you have helped me in rethinking putting some type of security software on my phone. Something to locate the phone as well as destroy personal info. Sorry, but thanks..
Try to install the app "Plan B" from market.android.com
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=search_result
Hope that the old saying comes true and what comes around goes around and bites her in the rear end for you!!
Sorry to hear about your phone. Since I've rooted my phone I hadn't given much thought to security, but after reading your post I'm going to the market right now.
EVO 4G-VirusROM RC 6-Launcher Pro
yup maybe plan B also those facebook picture should have an isp tag and could be tracked
That sucks dude. Definitely try the remote wipe thing.
Going to be getting the app to remote wipe my phone for sure.
I think some phones when they take pictures have the location embedded somehow.
If she took a picture of herself or friends post it on a blog and ask people to identify her.
Other thing to do is just text her.
I haven't seen an app on the droid market quite as good as SmartProtect that I used to use on my HD2 with WinMo. Basically you registered your SIM and after it is stollen and someone puts in their own sim it would then txt GPS coords to a number or several numbers of your choosing. It would also send you the new # and had many remote control options that could be sent via special SMS commands. Along with all of this you could also have it wipe contacts and/or directories on your SD. If anyone knows of something similar I am all ears after reading this thread.. it can happen. On a side note watch this video.. its awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4oB28ksiIo
Thanks everyone, I appreciate all of you responding. I was thinking of getting 4chan to make her a internet sensation but decided to cut my loses and just wait for good ol karma to kick in.
I did learn a good lesson out of this, protect your phone, get good security software and please, keep your phone safe in your pocket while you are severely drunk.
<3 you all.

Well, if she uploaded HER pictures to YOUR account. Just send those pictures to the cops or spread it across the internet.
Spread your IMEI number on various marketplaces across the net, not sure if the facility is available in the US, but here if we tell the cops that our phone is stolen they block the IMEI no. because of which that phone is just a brick, so your loss, but at least it's not the thieves gain !
And yes, next time if the phone is expensive and you have shady characters around you do consider insurance and security apps as suggested by everyone else.

So my tablet was stolen a couple of days ago. I don't think I can find it or who stole it at this point. I do remember doing something like registration with Samsung after I bought it to get the TW update. Is there a way I can get Samsung to lock this ish up wirelessly? Or track it as well?
That's bad news, sorry to hear that. You could try Plan B http://is.gd/WibhTe and also Samsung DIVE http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do

Sucks bro, and not to be smart towards your situation, but next time try something like SeekDroid. Its an app that allows you to track the phone, tab etc. You can wipe it etc.
Dont worry you have no idea how many times I think I am such an idiot for not having an app like that on the tablet! Unfortunately it is wifi only so I am not sure just how well those apps would have worked.
Just go ahead and install Plan B, when the thief connects to the internet then it'll get installed, unless they've reset it already. Keep us up to date on this.

Not to sure how recently your tablet was stolen but LoJackforlaptops.com works with the police to recover iOS and android devices. Contact their global support via their website above and ask to speak with one of their Recovery Investigators.

[Q] Wife's Phone Lost/Stolen Best Options Now?

Wife left phone unattended in a public place and someone took it. She has never even gotten a scratch on a phone before. It appears that it was turned off or sim removed. It rang a few times for her but by the time I tried "Where's My Droid" it was going to voice mail. ATT is no help and claims they can't block IMEI. She just wants to go back to her LGVu but I know she enjoyed the android. 1. any ideas on how to maybe track it/get it back? 2. Best place to get a good price on another one (used or refurbished ok)? What would be about the best price I can find? 3. I may have to JTAg my bricked Cappy for her, that's only $50. Any useful in put would be great. I know looks like we are screwed.
Thanks,
Ken
Should have done a Nandroid backup, then you could restore your phone to its last state.
I guess you could always try Rom Manager...
Silly question but how is a back up going to help if someone stile the phone and its not on the OP's possession

I hope she had it locked, so the theif cannot get the personal info.
Anyway if you are looking for a replacement for AT&T, I would suggest to try SGSII: Skyrocket, it support 4G LTE. It will be faster than the current 4G H+.
I think you should wait for samsung galaxy s2 hd lte to come out, give your current phone to her, and get the new one.

Try Androidlost app from the market, I think it's probably the only app you can push to the phone after its lost and use the web interface to do a host of things like remotely locking and wipe SD. Plus you can make the phone scream at whoever has it, take photos and send you history of call/sms records etc.

Good question, How do I do a recovery on a phone I don't have?
I tried android lost but since the phone is off or the sim is out I can not install it.
That being said I could have used whers my droid pro to send me a text with the new number if they put a new sim card in. But I only expected to locate a misplaced phone not a stolen one.
Learn from my mistake and set up these apps on ur phone now.
No it was not locked she has always worked in a office and had gotten complacent.
What is the S2 HD LTE and when is it coming out?
We all know the S2 beats the hell out of a skyrocket.
I can't affoed over $400 for a new phone so looks like she will get my old GS or and old Iphone.
If anyone is upgrading and can work with me let me know.
Thanks again.

Not too long ago, ATT was selling SGSII refurbs for $0.01. I got one for my better half, and it's sailing along famously.
That was for $0.01 with a two year contract correct? We paid $.96 each for the two we bought, but now we are not able to upgrade again. Can't get that deal.

Skyrocket is still SGSII. I am not far off... (It's just SGSII little bro) LOL! Don't get me wrong, I just got myself the SGSII and love it. I was going to recommend both, but end up recommending Skyrocket (your version: ****rocket. LOL) because of the 4G LTE feature. If the SGSII had the 4G LTE, I would not even flinch recommending it.

Did you happeds to have an insurance with AT&T? Just a wild guess. If it's in the time frame, I think you can get the replacement. (correct me if I am wrong on this)
it seems to me her office needs cameras.

Plan B is your best (only) shot right now I believe
Follow up on out come
Sent my old GS1 to have the unbrickablemod applied to it. Downloaded 2.3.5 from Samsung's website. I then rooted the phone and installed the Corn Kernel so I can use CWM. Set phone up to look as close as I could to her GS2, as well as used all the battery saving tricks. Added Wheres My Droid AND Android Lost and set them up completely. Thanks for everyones feed back.

What has Google bought for you?-NFC

Made my first purchase today using NFC and it was smooth as silk and I can see myself using this a lot.And i was shocked to actually see how many NFC enabled retailers are out there.There is an app that tells you all the retailers around you that support Pay Pass,here's the link. http://tinyurl.com/PayPass
Google has bought me with the provided $10 upon enabling Wallet:
1:Mountain Dew(1)
2:Snicker Bar(1)
3:Wrigley Double-mint Gum(2)
Total= $5.58 ($4.42 remaining)
Thank you google
Visited local 7-11
2 packs of BBQ sunflower seeds ($.99 each)
And java monster.
$4.98 remaining. Thanks google!

I've attempted two purchases so far, and for some reason it doesn't work. I get a message saying sent, then I get a message saying check with the clerk to make sure the transaction has processed and it doesn't go through. Kinda disappointed, so far.

Cant add Visa cards? thought I seen somewhere you could
Totally forgot to try out the NFC at Jack on Sunday, or dinner could've been on Google! dang...
So now I'm checking around in the search app, and it turns out The Microsoft Store accepts paypass. Hehe, Wish I had an excuse to go in and buy something with my NFC Android Phone. That would be so epically awesome. "Your phones can't do that?"
LOL!

You can add money to the Google card from a visa

Did anyone find it odd when you used your phone to pay instead of a card? I know I would be a bit suspicous or confused by it if I were the cashier. I still need to find some place that I can use googles money at.

When you get the message saying "check with clerk to make sure transaction has processed" it will also say "or tap again to complete". Just tap the phone to the pay pass again and it will say "sent" for the second time and then the transaction will be complete.

I am looking forward to trying it, and I know that I will find it odd. I hope it works and there isn't an issue. I hate little commotions.
I'm hoping the whole "Unsupported device" message since I rooted is just a notice. I am showing that I have a balance of $10.

Just scan again. It'll go through

Question? Do I need to log onto the app to use the Wallet or can I just place my phone (as long as it is turned on) up to the terminal?
The directions in the wallet are very vague.

If you have a pin lock then yes it'll ask you to type it in. My steps I took yesterday were, turn on screen, scan, it opens app then says scan again to send. Scan again, all done. Or receive that damn message like I also did and just scan again. All done.

Will it scan through my letterbox?

Good god, I went to 7-11 and bought a couple stuff fine with it. Then I went to CVS to try it and I mar sure I had enough money to pay for it and it didn't work. I held it up to the terminal and it did nothing at all.... Any ideas? It was the same kind of terminal thing that was at 7-11

I think some stores that have the paypass machine, don't actually have the machine hooked up to work with it.
If it does nothing at all, I'd imagine thats the case. It wasn't setup on their end.

The only thing that made me question that was that the green light on the paypass was on.... But the cashier was like wtf you can't pay with phones...
