I lost my SGS2, I had recently registered my phone with DIVE, but switched to a new ROM. I also have latitude active on my phone. If someone switched the SIM, will I still be able to track it?
Time to save for a new phone
There's an app called Plan B from the makers of Lookout. If your device is logged into your Google account and connected to the internet you can go to the online Play Store and push it to your phone. It will auto start and help you start locating your phone!
Plan B
Only if GPS is enabled .. and location will be sent to Google account already registered.

Yeah you need to keep an eye on the account because whoever has your phone will also get notifications of you tracking them (and could delete them) if the phone doesn't have a screen lock.
If he a flashes a rom then everything will be lost

Hey
Just seeing if anyone having problems with Gtalk and Make It So.
For some reason I cant get Gtalk to sign in. It tries to sign in but just cant. Also Make it So just doesn't work for some reason, does it work for anyone? Its not needed, but thought it would be cool.
Apart from these issues, love the pad but wish it had HDMI out and Java though.
Done all the patches and mods and seems to work really well
Thanks in advance
I've been using Gtalk and Make it so since day two, not issues here, that i'm aware of.

Did you use your gmail account as your webpage account? I'm thinking factory reset and start again.
If your Google password has special characters ([email protected]#$%&*?/ etc) it will give an error.

My gmail account syncs but I cannot IM, reflashed it, changed areas and made another profile but no dice.....annoying as
[Q] Gtalk on webOS
I'm having a little trouble getting WebOS to connect to my Gtalk account, it's not a matter of it not getting on with my Google account at all (it syncs contacts and everything else) but it just can't seem to connect to gtalk. I've enabled it in settings and still nothing.
The plan was to forward my texts through Gtalk so that I could reply on the Touchpad, but this is causing a little trouble.
Thanks in advance.
Working fine here

I did a lot more reading on it and it appears to be a problem with certain routers. This is most likely a bug on behalf of HP/Palm. Turns out Draytek/Netgear routers don't agree with Gtalk on the device. Colour me confused.

that is definitely odd.
i use a netgear wireless router as an access point...and vyatta as my core router.
I can confirm this as 100% annoying especially as the IM works quiet well at my mums but wont work at my house.
[Q] Touchpad Gtalk issues?
Anyone else having issues signing into Google Talk on the Touchpad's messaging application?
Skype worked fine, Gtalk keeps asking me to check my account - enter the password again and it does nothing - change to available/busy and it asks for account details again.
will try signing in using a wifi hotspot from my desire later...
hopefully the 3.0.3 or whatever OTA comes out fixes this
tried connected to wifi hotspot from htc desire and failed to sign in to gtalk
Have the exact same problem over the last few days
hi folks.. I'm having the exact same problem.. Skype and Gtalk IM both worked for a long time, than about 3-4 days ago, Gtalk IM will not sign in.
I too have a Draytek router but still, it use to work. I also have Make it So but had that installed for over a week.... Weird stuff going on here...
What is "Make it so"
Don't see it in the market.
[solved] enable google account 2 step auth
go to gmail ...account settings... Enable 2 step auth or if you already did, add new device. Once I did that and input new password on TP I was able to sign into gtalk.

Nope It didnt work for me..I have netgear as a router.
still having problems myself.
First, I have searched both here and Google regarding my question but all I’ve turned up are problems with WiFi connections (which I don’t have – my connection is always solid) and reported problems about 8 months ago with payments in general (my problems are with WiFi only).
My problem is that any time I try to purchase an app on Android Market (and now Google Play) using WiFi, the app hangs at the point where it’s trying to authorize payment. It just sits there no matter how long I wait (well… at least 10 minutes or so). If I switch over to the home screen, turn off WiFi so 4G comes back up and then switch back to Android Market/Google Play, payment goes through properly. Once the download starts I can switch back to WiFi and the app will download without issue. This happened several times when I was straight stock using Android Market, at least once when I switched to NRG’s ROM using Android market, and again this morning with Google Play; it isn’t just the new Google Play app.
I wanted to ask whether anyone else has experienced this and whether you found any reason for it or a solution to it. This isn’t the end of the world but it would be nice to have it working correctly so I don’t have to mess around with the connection while trying to download a large app.
Thanks!

I was having issues last night buying app from google play, was getting error 403. then this morning I bought another and it went through and I was like wtf!
I refunded the three apps that didn't go through then re bought them and they downloaded perfectly.. lol
not sure if that is the issue you're having but take a look at this thread:http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=4627bf187632930e0004babe8be00aa0&hl=en

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately my issue is different. I never got an error of any kind, it just sat there trying to authorize payment until I switched from WiFi back to 4G, then it went through without issue. Afterword, I could download the app on WiFi just fine.
Thanks again.
My payments for apps only work over 4g
well I can confirm it isn't using wifi, it COULD be your router or firewall, or some other settings. I can confirm it because I don't have a data plan, I use wifi for everything and I have bought apps through it.

Hi, I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly on my sgh-i777. Everything was working perfectly but now Google play store is not connecting and is only giving the option to retry. The Google account is also not syncing. Internet is working fine through the browser and other apps.
Note: when I open play store a notification pops up "sign into wifi network".
I've tried clearing app data and cache. Tried reflashing gapps. Tried rebooting the phone. Tried dipping the phone in holy water , nothing.
Plz help
Try removing your google account from ur phone. Then re-add it.

i removed the google account and re added it , it says
"couldn't sign in. Cant establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services .IF it continues , call customer care. "
even though my phone is connected to wifi.
what is that notification about signing into wifi network? it didnt appeared before but it started appearing when this connection error started.

They take screens hots listen to calls .my roku even says Apple TV. No this guy has 50 cell phones literally a desktop and security cameras but lives in an abandoned house .he let's bits of info out like telling me about apks,,,,which I never wanted .I am unable to buy a malware remover because I can not enter any card info I never know if I'm on the real page of something .I am on some type of Google play for testers ??? This person has Linux and Apple. I currently have a simple Samsung ao3 and moto g pure .another topic of discussion is this .I live at a hotel where we have dish network but as well there is xfinity open signal that has no security and I live by a building of sea offenders in Houston..these guys can be doing anything ..this friend use to live here for a year ....during corona virus which makes me think hes had plenty timevto set up shop ,,,and hes friebd with several of those said sex offenders lord only knows what those guys are looking at undetected there for a while when I would make a call it would say i was connected to a TV.

Chrome has red arrow i can never update .I'm so tired please any info or light you can shed on my subject would be greatly appreciated
A terribly complicated situation.
If all this is true, I feel sorry for you.
A quick and easy fix.
forget and do not use previous email accounts,
remove the SIM card,
reset the phone to factory settings,
boot the phone and configure it, but don't connect any wi-fi network, and don't configure google account,
turn off the phone, insert the SIM card and boot the phone,
connect to the hotel's WiFi network (don't turn on connection saving) or better yet, turn on your SIM card's data connection, if you have that tariff,
set up a NEW n.p. account on gmail, but through a web browser, not through the gmail app,
if you see that everything works fine and you have no problems, then you can set up a google account if you need one,
NEVER enable debug mode in the developer options and don't listen to any advice from "friends"; you now have advisors on the XDA forum,
never install apps from outside the google store.

Relax, that only shows there are more notifications from apps (well, with 400 as you told it's no surprise).
As you have two phones, it might prudent to follow @ze7zez advice, start a new (phone) life on one of them with a "different" identity (aka account). See how that goes...
Don't despair, it might be a steep learning curve - just come back and ask
PS: Use also paragraphs, please Your text was incredibly hard to read

Hi Sigmund. I have done all of the above but yes debug mode is always on your right .and it says Rev 1.0 I read that Google released that in 2008 ? This is so messed up that was released in 2008 .can not fully reset because they are in accessibility settings with calender clock and emergency contacts .this has been 7 phones now I NEVER TURNED ON THE WIFI yet it connects without my knowledge I have earthquake alerts? I live in Texas we don't have those lol but several times ambet alert goes off incessantly and nobody around me had theirs go off ..this has been traumatizing I've lost my account of ten years its down right criminal that google let's these thing transpire.thank you for the advice about another browser!
Does anybody have any thing I can download to remove remote access for android ?? Tired of being spied on and I am unable to enter card info due to them stealing info .
The user is prob using remote debugging type of feature. Disable all dev options, run a full wipe, do not restore anything.
If you do not know what you are doing, never turn on dev options

Oi, let's try to break it down into smaller parts (just to avoid any confusion):
I was referring to circle at the end, position 7 - that shows there are more notifications from other apps. (you got that, right?)
Now you are probably referring to position 2, the gear?

First of all, if you do a full wipe: your data, contacts, emails, pictures and everything else will be gone...
You okay with that? I guess a firm "yes" here, besides you said you have 2 phones, so you can try that on one.
To reset a phone you go into settings, for me it looks like this:
1 settings
2 system
3 advanced
4 Reset options
5 erase all data (factory settings)
However, I am using a different phone and a different android (called LineageOS), so it might totally look different for you.
It differs quite often (eg samsung always feels weird to me). If you cannot find it, let us know what phone you want to reset.
After reset, best follow the list by @ze7zez

Not needed, a factory reset will kill that anyway.
PS2: Out of curiousity - how did you find your way into this nerdy place called XDA?
