Having upgraded to XXKI3, I noticed samsungdive (tracking / Find the phone feature..) is no longer working. I had a closer look seemingly IMEITracker.apk (system app) is not there either - this might be the cause ?
I wonder if this just happened to me or someone else ?
Samsung Dive works with me and I am on KI3 villainrom
Doesn't work for me either.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
@achillies400 : i guessed it could be the feature of VillainRom - have IMEITracker.apk hang over from old rom
@rdbhalla: wonder if you can check via RootExplorer or something similar that you didn't have IMEITracker.apk in "/system/app" either ?
Same problem here on non-wipe (frankenstein), non-rooted stock xxki3 on Bell Canada.

I receive no errors but when I try accessing any of the functions on the Samsung Dive website (ex: "Find my mobile") on both Firefox and Chrome I have no success, it never successfully connects just thinks about it for hours.
I also noticed that imeitracker.apk was not present but mobiletracker.apk was, not sure if that makes a difference.
I re-flashed the release firmware - and apparently imeitracker.apk is no longer there definitely. Re-used the old version made no different as well.
If mobile tracking is important for you, I reckon it's time to move on . The free version of AVG Mobilation is good enough for me. (Sorry as new member I cannot post link) - Google will do
same for me ... dive stop working after flashing leomar revolution 2.7.1 ( ki3 )...
btw imeitracker.apk is present on /sustem/app ( root explorer )
also tried to restore my 2.6 backup ( kh3 ) and still not working ... pretty confused because it was working fine on 2.6 before updating to 2.7.1 ...
Yip. I had flashed back to XXKH3 (which originally worked), it didn't help too. I started wondering if that's a backend problem from Samsung ? Notice the webapp got updated recently .
for myself i think the issue come from ki3 cause on my second galaxy s II ( revolution 2.6 never updated to ki3 ) it's still working fine ...
I have just tried it on my Touch KI3 rom and it is not working as well. Have anyone found a workaround yet?
Looks like there's a number of missing files in KI3 - maybe integrated into something else, maybe removed entirely?

Hi,
I have been using KI3 for past 1-2 weeks and i have no issues with Samsung Dive....i can call my ccell, track my location, get logs, wipe data..everything......not sure why u cant...
i used KI3 uploaded my intratech and samfirmware....
have you used samsung account in ur cell..in accnt and sync section???
may be a complete reset will work.....
just throwing my 2 cents......
@smilingcruel ... m8 you're lucky
here even after full wipe, kh3 restore, etc etc etc nothing to do ... dive won't connect to my phone ...
of course all setting are ok ( samsung account linked, mobile tracking is active )
tried on wifi, 3g ... just nothing
and it was working perfectly before ki3 update ...
btw i noticed something strange on titanium backup ... no I have com.android.imeitracker strikethrough and grayed ( like not installed backup )
but i can't do nothing w/ it ... it's not a backup, i can't uninstall/install it ... nothing to do ...
and of course this is not present on my second SII w/ kh3 ( revolution 2.6 ) that have never been updated to ki3 ...
This purely a piece of guess from. But this XXKI3 release is for Poland which outside the current service zone of SamsungDive (i read somewhere UK/German and some other regions) .. hence the removal of IMEITracker.apk which explained why it's not working.
After all, i just don't bother now ...move on to some other service and freeze the rest apps to save memory
For @OniKim, the titanium have grey, strike-out package because IMEITracker.apk create a data folder and Titanium backup picks it up yet can not find (for some reason) the matched APK.
If you want to remove it, look into "/data/" there is a folder called "com.android.IMEITracker" then removing this will be okay else just leave it there
humm ... ok about the ki3 release issue cause it's for poland ...
but what is making me going crazy it's why after restoring kh3 dive is still not working ... and why dive still working for lots of people w/ ki3
btx thx for the info about imeitraker data folder ...
also can you point me to the alternate solution you're using ???
i really want a remote acces to my phone ...
As I've said earlier... I gave up on this.
I assume you mean remote tracking / lock instead of access.
But anyway here is the one that I used AVG Mobilation from AVG http://www.avgmobilation.com/
It's free for tracking, remote lock, shout ... all just work - I haven't tried the remote wipe for an obvious reason . Btw, it comes free with antivirus
oups sorry i missed your first post about avg
and yes by remote access i mean remote tracking etc ...
anyway will give it a try ... thx for the info !!!
I had the same problem (rooted SGS2 with 2.3.5 and KI3) - I have createted a new Samsumg-Account and it works now. The Problem is, it is normaly not possible to delete the Samsung-Account without a hard reset.
I have do this with Titanium Backup:
-> backup your phone with TB
-> deaktivate with TB the Samsung-Account
-> reboot the phone
-> restore the Samsung-Account without data
-> activate the Samsung account again
-> now you can create a new account
I hope this workaround works on your side too...

Thanks! That totally worked. I've added a couple of notes for those that follow this process to make it clearer for noobs like me.
-> backup your phone with Titanium Backup - the specific file/app you need to backup is called "Samsung Account" (v1.0 in my case)
-> Freeze Samsung Account with TB
-> reboot the phone
-> go back into TB and restore the Samsung-Account *without* data
-> activate the Samsung account again (Settings -> Accounts and sync -> add account)
-> now you can add a samsung account. You can still use the Samsung account you had previously (e.g. use the same email and password) and just recreating it will make samsungdrive start to work again.

Hello
forum search is temporary disabled, I am sure this must have been asked over and over again, but.. here I go:
I have a sgs2 reflashed to XWKE7 baseband, (O2 rebranded to generic) and rooted
I see that the software is basically all the same as it was before, all the hubs, bbc player etc etc
- But I would like to perform a factory hard reset (is it called like this?), besides my own data, sync settings etc am I going to loose any of the installed pieces of software ?
- Can someone remember me the code for the factoryt hard reset please ?
- Regarding keyboard to get to the additional accent characters under one key when pressing and keeping the finger on I notice it takes just a bit too long to show them. Is there any hidden option to get it to show faster ?
Maybe I was just too used to old mobile keys for sms writing
- I still haven´t installed either smart keyboard, better keyboard or perfect keyboard from android market, which one is your favorite for clumsy finger people like me, always pressing the side or up key instead of the right one?
best rgds

Sorry, but I am not quite sure what your problem is.
You have installed an app or a widget which needs to access your contacts, and you deleted this access?!
Then you should try to un-install the app / widget and re-install it again.
Or has an app or widget deleted (your access to) your contacts?!
Then you should delete this app / widget, and restore your contacts from a backup (Google, KIES, etc.).
Good luck !
The problem is that if you change the rom, the phone gives me problems, for me ejmplo delete access to my contacts photo favorites, also when I download some applications market, will not let me install, it tells me package file ... not valid.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
give us deletes about your phone.
go to settings-phone and give us details about your model and currebt rom version.
I have a feeling you maybe trying to flash a rom that is not meant for your version of the phone.
my phone had 2.3.3 android I9100BVKH1 ORIGINAL ORANGE SPAIN, I updated with the orange android 2.3.5bvkj4 kies, but not if something went wrong because my phone started giving problems, then install all types of roms and even Cyanogen, but continues with these things, market release applications and some say I can not install the file package is not valid .... so here install from the original orange spain and now I have the android 2.3.5, version i9100bvkj4 base band, Kermel i9100bvkj4-2.6.35.7-cl681297roor @ dell135 # 2, gingerbread.bvkj4 compilation. but everything remains the same friends, and when you connect it to kies, tells me that I can not update! think it messed up because I still have my original efs. thanks for your help! I hope someone of solution, if not take him to the technical service, because I'm desperate now.
As you have no warranty after installing custom roms your best solution is to start from a clean phone .
Download stock firmware for your phone and Odin ,
Backup data .
Boot phone to recovery go to Mounts and Storage Format cache data system and sd card .
Remove battery replace and go to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
If it then needs warranty service use usb jig to reset custom rom counter .

Ive been going through the forums for quite some time now... just recently made an account since i had a little question
I followed the steps correctly (or so im pretty sure)
I now have it all set up and everything is running great! even hit over 1900 on the quadrant score.
To get to my problem: i have no mobile internet access, data access is enabled yet i remain offline and my phone wont connect to the internet.
Also i cannot log in to facebook (even with wifi) or sync gmail whatsoever or log into gmail for that matter... when i try the google play store it asks me " you must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to add one now? i press yes and then nothing happens... i try to sync my account to the phone and it wont work either.
I have tried alot of things and searched alot of forums im hoping someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy ace and i just flashed a custom rom (cm 7.2)

Reflashing didnt work and its not the accounts... i tried making new ones it just wont work, im realy confused.
Try another CM7 rom....Or u cud try the CM9 rom....everything works perfect on that!(xcpt the camera)
I've had this problem on custom roms before. Depending on what the problem is there are a number of solutions.
Search the forum for these and let us know if they work:
1- Often it's a modem problem. You can just flash your region's modem trough odin. This solves call, mobile data and wifi problems if the ROM was meant for a different region (ie flashing an European ROM, since my region is Latin America and needs 850/1900 frequencys I just flash the Mexican / Brazilian modem through odin).
2- If the ROM comes with some type of add blocker, hacked host file or firewall check that its disabled the first time you access the Store, Facebook and other sync dependant apps (and make sure syncing is enabled). After that you can enable the firewall again (if possible, keep those apps as exception so they won't get blocked)
3-Make sure you got your APN settings right if mobile data is the only problem. Since it probably got erased during wipes.
Hope it helps, good luck.

Google Apps - the apps by Google that allows you to use specific system apps like Gmail or the Play Store .
Because of copyright , CM7 ROMs will not include GApps (Google Apps) .
The only way to get it is by downloading online

Hi guys, I think I have a big problem with my GSIII.
My phone is rooted, WanamLite 5.2 ELL5, Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme; my carrier is Vodafone and my plan provides 1 GB per month of navigation.
I started to notice a massive (relative to me) money consumption.
Yesterday, when I had 28 cents left, my credit decreased to 8 cents after receiving a SMS (18 cents is the standard cost of a SMS for my plan) but I wasn't doing anything! Further checks let me discover that using the secret sms plug-in of the "Hide it pro" app costs 18 cents for every SMS received or sent, even if my plan provides them.
I obviously disinstalled the app, but I wanted to wait a bit, to check if all it's ok.
Some time later (a couple of hours), with still 8 cents left and doing nothing, I received a SMS from Vodafone, informing me that my credit wasn't sufficient for doing what I wanted to! I wiped data (factory reset) from CWM and also a factory data restoration (from the settings).
Today, still 8 cents left, at 13 o'clock I received another SMS from Vodafone like the previous one (yesterday).
Do you think that the problem is related to the phone (dunno, a virus?), or not?
Thanks a lot.
Use the free app "Permission Explorer" and check which apps are allowed to receive or send SMS or do phone calls.
Obvisously something is not quite as it is supposed to be.
Stock and some stockish Samsung roms have the Exynos Camera bug which allows any app to gain root access and thus install itself in the system itself and by consequence prevent being removed by a full-wipe. Any app you used which uses root could also have done the same. Not saying this actually did happen but it's a very real possibility. Only completely secure solution is to flash a full firmware (including recovery!) from Odin since theoretically CWM cannot be trusted either anymore, should the phone be compromised.
Easy steps would be:
- flash back to stock (any stock)
- flash Siyah through Odin
- boot to CWM (should be included in Siyah)
- factory-reset the phone
- install a freshly downloaded copy of Wanamlite
- reinstall Siyah kernel
- restore your apps and data (obviously making sure you trust all and any that require access to the camera, sending SMS or such)
On a side-note: I know that some crazy phone providers actually cost to RECEIVE sms and not only send. Could it be you are receiving SMS' from someone?

Thanks a lot (I already know, however, about Camera Bug reported from Faryaab ).
I'll proceed as you wrote, only one question: why Siyah?
However, Vodafone doesn't apply costs for received SMSs from standard numbers (even of other carriers), as the one I received the message from.
In attach files there is the list of apps with "write sms permission".
Now I'm going to flash through Odin stock Ita firmware, I already have it...
WTF is joyn?!?!
UPDATE!!!
I restored again from settings. When it completed, I received the usual sms from Vodafone about insufficient credit! WTF?
Now I'll flash stock Ita...
UPDATE #2
After flashing Stock Ita, I received THREE SMS from Vodafone about attempting to do something...
joyn app in permission explorer disappeared, but ChatON, SVoice, Keyboard, Favourite Contacts and Samsung Apps appeared.
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the following issue I have recently encountered; Application Defaults keep resetting. When the dialog pops up I select the app to use (for example, if reading an NFC tag I select from NFC ReTag Pro, NFC Task Launcher and NFC Taginfo - though it occurs with more than just this example) and hit the button to remember my choice. However, at the next reboot, all of these settings are gone, and I have to re-choose.
Here are the details.
Phone: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.2 Stock build for United Kingdom O2, rooted (Odin + chainfire's excellent CF Auto-root)
Specifics:
Baseband version: I9300BWELK1
Kernel Version 3.0.31-566833
Build Number JZO54K.I9300XXELL4
Applications removed from O2 build(uninstall updates, disable, remove apk, reboot):
Amazon MP3
Top 40 Chart
eBay
Is the problem reproducible? Yes, a reboot resets the defaults
Have you wiped and reflashed? Yes, twice, and the problem still occurs prior to re-root and prior to removing the bloatware.
Anything else we should know about? Yes, I'm running Droidwall, and have disabled (not uninstalled) the following:
Yahoo! News
Yahoo! Finance
Video Hub
Samsung TTS (lightflow issues)
Samsung Push Service
Samsung Backup Provider
S Suggest
Game Hub.
Anything else?
Yeah, I suspect it isn't relevant, but I have a Cryptonite partition on my SD card, mounted on the internal card for things like bank statements.
So ...
Has anyone encountered this problem before (bearing in mind a wipe and reflash didn't help), or - if not - can they point me in the direction of someone who might be able to help?
P.S. I've been going down the route of a SQLite problem, but have hit a knowledge wall (specifically my own lack of it!)
P.P.S Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Though I have no idea of your problem..I like the way you have put your question..I hope someone will be able to answer it..
Most probably the settings are not being written into the data partition properly or the sqlite database gets deleted after every reboot. .

Thanks! I used to help out over on experts-exchange, and one of my pet hates was threads like "Hai, my router duzent work, plz help!", so I tried to avoid doing that to you.
Yeah, the db not being written properly was my first guess, but I lack the in-depth knowledge of Android to debug it further.
Re: [Q] Application defaults keep resetting.
Ok. Here's an update. I started getting more problems, apps would update but after the next reboot would revert back to their older versions.
Suspecting a permissions problem I walked through /. but nothing was amiss so I traced the date the problem started to the same day I installed 'root app delete' by TOPDEV from the market.
I uninstalled that and, voilà, all working again. I'll let the developer know, but otherwise consider this myth busted. Uh... I mean problem solved!
