Hi all!
A few months ago my tablet (Asus Transformer) got stolen. (((
Anyway... I changed my Google password one day after this and I have still the control over my account. Phuuu... I expected that with this password change the thief has no chance to get in my account.
Today I went in the Google Play Store, as it is called now. I noticed that the stolen device is still in the list of my devices. The strange thing is, it displays that it is still in use and the last activity was on the 27th of March 2012 (which is today) O_O.
My first thought was: OMG the thief has stolen my google account?! But everything seems to be still fine. I can use my google services and the thief can't have the new password.
But why do I see the usage of my old tablet?
Is there any chance to find out the IP address or track the device without any extra sw on the tab?
Is my google account really secure?
Why wasn't the play store affected to my password change?
How can I remove the device completely from my google?
Please HELP!!!
Other idea:
Is there any app in the market to "destroy" the tablet remotely. Im thinking of a device brick or just a full wipe?
Maybe the thief is so stupid to grant root access to a new installed app
May be you can use LMaxi Anti Theft PRO or AndroidLosst.They can be installed from Google play store web.With this app you can find your tablet.

Do I have to enter anything locally on the device itself? I'm using the Cerberus app now on my phone and my new tablet but I know that I need to login one time on the device to set it up.

I just noticed exactly the same for my stolen/lost phone. The "last used" date was the date I lost it, until now. March 27. Maybe its because of some data migration and the switch to the "Play" store?
servus, btw ..

Hi all,
I bought my S2 a week ago. First I fel sad for sending back my Sensation (yes, signal issues ), but then using S2, its sexy looking design performance and speed impressed me. Great Device!
But I have problem about samsung account. I've never used Samsung devices before, not needed for Samsung account. I want to sign up from my device, everytime shows me same issues - Processing failed.
I also can't add e-mail (Hotmail, Gmail)acoounts and IM (Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo) accounts to Social Hub.
BTW, I tried to sign-up/add accounts on stock ROM, yesterday updated to XXKG6 - 2.3.4, but result is still same, can't add account...
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ABOUT IT?
Thanks...

YOU! I love you. I just had to figure this out as well, didn't know there was an app for this.
More details
Can you share any more details with this. I downloaded a market enabler app but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Which one did you use and which country did you run as? I am curious I just want to get my samsung act setup.
Thanks.

Same problem with me in the start... Though I solved it by changing the country to UK in gmail account...
Find out what country ROM you have, and then download and activate Market-enabler of the same same Country your ROM is. You should be fine after that!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, however since the TFP is the first and only tablet I thought I would start here with this question.
Again I am new to tablets so please excuse me if this is a stupid question to be asking. Since I have owned this tablet I have installed many apps from the Android market and now Google play. On my Android phone when I update an app it will have the "what's new" area, visit the developers website and reviews from users. On my tablet I do not see these areas at all. I have gone to the settings in google play (android market), I have tried to search through Google and search through XDA and have not found the answer.
Is this the way it is on tablets?
Am I missing something on the settings?
I hope this is fixable because I like to look at what is new, look at reviews and sometimes I like to go to the developers website before I update my apps.
Thanks in advance and again sorry if this has already been asked and answered

You need to tap the app icon, that's the only way I know..
Sorry if I don't make any sense , this is my first post.
But I wanted to know if theres anyway I can use/enable the Google Wallet Application on my Sony Xperia S as it has NFC support which is required to use Google Wallet.
I read some fourms that there is a cracked version that will work if if you install CM 7. But I wanted to know if this is true or if they are any other methods because I really want to get this to work!
Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

As I know, in this moment it is impossible to use Google Wallet in other phones then a few more supported by Google. Cracked versions could be installed on other devices, also XPS, but it dosen't work. In some cases (Samsung phones) you can install cracked version, but I would avoid this - it is your money security matter. I see, that lack of GW on other devices - is Google choice. Maybe they just testing this feature and we have to wait.
yeah, suck google, release the thingy to everyone, why the wait, it's been out for awhile now.
i tried a lots of methods to install it but no go any way. but mastercard is releasing its similar wallet app very soon in which you'll be able to register any credit/bank card, not just mastercards, and there you go, go to hell google, you lost
.
I really want GW for my SXS, too
Hello there I've just got Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 16GB dual SIM. as this model is selling in China so all the Google related apps is locked.
I then rooted the phone by following the instructions provided by this web : https: // support.mobicity.com/entries/22148360-How-to-flash-the-Google-Play-Store-on-the-Dual-SIM-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9502 (sorry i im unable to post link outside directly here as i am a new comer)
After i done it, i went through the google phone setups just as what showing in the video(you can see the video from the web above) however after i enter my google acc number and password, i then received this error message "unfortunately google play has stopped" , but just one moment before i got that error message, i got another message says that i have few apps installed have its update available in google app store(so i assume that the google app store is working, but for some reason it stopped) . I had a look on the internet and tried all the solutions i.e. go to app manager clear all the data, force to stop and start again, it didnt workout. I also tried delete google play store and instal it again, still got the same problem. I installed Gmail from other android app store, and it works no problems on my phone, and google map has no problems to locate and navigate. I tried to download apps from google play web, and it did work as well as it seems still need to lunch the actual app on my phone, so when i trying to download apps from google play web i got the same error message from my phone. could some plz help with it. i'd be so much appreciate.

This version of the S4 is not even closely related to yours. You'd be best served using the i9500 forum.

Can you just help to tell in detail how it worked so that this thread can be useful for people with the same query in future

Oh yeah, I forgot about it.
So there are few "warnings" before start.
-When you restart phone, there is 50% chance that it will transfer you to your main Google play. For example : I live in Serbia and I want Russian Google Play. When I finish this procedure and restart phone there is 50% chance that it will change your Google play to your homeland country.
-If you want to transfer to Canadian Google play I recommend you to change your language to English (Canada,US,United Kingdom - whatever)
--------------------------------------------------------
1. You must delete your Google account on your phone because Google locks your Google play to country you created Google account in.
2.Connect to VPN (I recommend TurboVPN cause it's free and good)
3.Create new Google account with VPN on
4.Congratz, you now have new Google play!
This also works with YouTube. If you have VPN that is in USA, you can use YouTube Red for example.
