Hello!
Im loooking for an app to remotely wipe all the info in the cellphone (without using SMS). In case someone stole my phone id like to wipe my personal information and Google accounts from there.
Is there such a software?
Check a app called seekdroid I believe it can meet your needs

It seems to do it, but also it has a lot of other features i dont have use to.
Maybe another soft like that that only wipe de data and maybe is freeware?
U can try lmaxiantitheft.

Try Lookout, Prey or Avast. Prey is free and FOSS and works across multiple platforms.

i think that should work only when lookout suite is installed on his phone......
try installing it through your google account and then install plan B..
it may work

No one knows but samsung has a very good dive site!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
wow i didnt know samsung has a website like that...its good to know
Yes,
You can register your Samsung at www.samsung.com
And you can track your phone at www.samsungdive.com
You need to have logged into and enabled the Samsung remote tracking first though, otherwise Plan B can be remotely installed even if you don't have the Lookout Security (which I think is unnecessary).
Hello!
I'm a new user and i can't write posts in "development" thread so i think it;s a good location 4 that topic. I've installed CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 (upd: 12.10.2011) and everything seems to work fine but i've got a few problems which should be fixed.. :
1st. Sound player widget on the main screen doesn't scan all music files
2nd. i can not delete applications from my device without using other program ( for example Titanium Backup).
3rd. Vibrations should have more options to set. (ex. i want my phone only to vibrate while i receive texts and while unlocking the screen)
4th. I can't synchronize my fb contacts to my phone cause even when i set it up correctly, phone change it back automatically and i don't know why.
5th. Autosynchronisation unmark automatically as well in every turning off the phone.
That's what i remember 4 now.
I please for information if any update is possible for Galaxy Ace, specially that this is unofficial ROM. Thank You.
And i've got one question cause i can't find soultion. When i had an original soft, while holding home button i could close applications and clean the RAM. How can i do this now ?
also, suddenly sometimes the POWER button doesn't lock the screen i tried rebooting but no use. so i re-flashed the ROM ! its frustrating
ahh i'm also in need of a little help... is there any fixes for facebook login issues for some of the apps? like friendcaster pro, words with friends etc.... the facebook login doesn't work there...

For the dialer , if you want that flash back to stock because it's a Samsung addition and will never be included

Agreed
The 4th one is a major pain in the a** for me too
Since most of my friends have their contact number saved on fb.. i dont really re-save them to my phone.. but with this problem im gona have to re-type and re-save the numbers
I hope its going to be fixed.. soon.. with maybe the official release.. but hey.. no pressure.. we arent paying for this are we?
Its all free!
Had the same problem. No option but had to re flash. World fine now.

For the Facebook login problem,flash some other rom and backup your contacts with the Facebook contacts.Now reflash cyanogenmod and restore contacts now,might fix the problem as I haven't tried it and I saw this solution somewhere else,I don't remember where

The only problem I've found is that you can't use your phone as a hotspot or USB modem. Other than that, everything runs pretty smoothly. I've found some problems that I've forgotten about but I'll be sure to post it here next time.
Thanks for the thread!

Facebook bug? I haven't found any...
EDIT: OH WAIT! Found a new bug! Every time I switch the ADW theme (not the CM7 one) it freezes.
EDIT2: sorry about my previous edit. It just switched my live wallpaper to a static one. Lol whoops
As long as i understand, you are facing facebook synk problems? The sync all mark disapears after reboot, and your contacts stays unsyncronized with FB, am i correct?
if i'm correct, check the install location of fb app. if it is installed on sd card, this is the problem. otherwise, i dont know, i have no such problem with facebook either with hotspot tethering - i'm using my 3g on my laptop via hotspot every day...

Is there any chance to modify stock dialer to work with cm7? I tried to copy that to /system/app but it`s not working.

Gal is experiencing troubles connecting ICQ on her Ace. Tried different clients, no go. All of them give answers like "connection limit exceeded", "authorization failure" and so on. No problems when logging into account from the webpage, but none of the client apps could connect.
Has anyone had something similar? What could it be, and what to do?
Thanks in advance.
BTW, phone is running stock ROM.

+1
Essential software...
Sent from the valley of the shadows....
+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.
