okay so while i was at the fair tonight, i rode one too many rides and threw up on myself and had to go home (lame me) and in the process of getting in the car i stripped down to my boxers and shoes in order to not get vomit all in my car. well stupid me forgot to take my phone, which i had layed on top of the car, off of the top of the car before i left and didn't realize it until i got home... my question is does anyone know any apps that can decently ping the phone without the gps being on (or turn the gps on and do it) it has my google account on it so i can load apps but i can't set them up... please help i just got this phone last week and love it...
There are plenty of free apps in the play store under 'lost phone' - everyone I've ever tried you had to setup on your phone first. Do you have insurance? Either way brother, good luck finding it.

no i didnt have insurance thanks though!

Your carrier can track, as well. Call customer support. Whatever you do. Do it fast before they pull the SIM and wipe

Try installing plan b on your device from the android market online. It will let you track it if it has data still on

Phone is still active. I've been installing apps on it remotly and been allowing then to I.stall paid apps so they they feel like keeping it. Due to a failed root attempt with odin a while back the phone has no recovery and hence no way to delete any user data. Factory data reset won't work until a new recovery is flashed. It's off right now but I keep calling it and it appears he turns it on every couple hours to mess with it. I have all info to be able to track it but the beat I've done is within 2500 feet. I need an apk that will remotly turn gps on to narrow the search. Can't wait till I find this guy im not happy about my wifes rights beinf violated like this. Thank you for anyone's help. Bounty stands as its cheaper than the deductible.

I 2nd the use of Plan B. It should be able to turn on the GPS automatically after it is installed, and you can restart the locate process through a text message to your phone.
Installed.....no email. I even texted locate like the instructions said. Nothing..

Try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antivirus.trial&feature=more_from_developer . This trial version lasts long enough for you to be able to locate it (I suppose). Notice this feature: "Find your lost or stolen phone and locate it on a map" . It should help you.
Is there any options for if they happened to change to Google account linked to the phone?

Did you read/try post #8?
Yeah no go man. I know who it is name DOB. My wife works at a blood bank that pays out to donors she gets her car broken into. I traced the phone to a local town ten minutes away. Got it down to an address. Then at 700 am lost find finder sends me the same gps location as the night before. Same place but this time not in the yard the dot on the map is right on the house. 704 I'm in the car. Arrive to find an empty sqwat house for doing dope. Show pictures of people who we googled from that street that had mugshots from previous arrests to the curious neighbors. The point out one picture as a guy who used to live there. Said he comes at night still and gets high. Ok now I'm interested in this dude. Was told by a niegbor check some apartments on the other side of town. Get there and ask around to people leaving to work. Find a guy who says yeah they're always in apartment x... Then same gentleman tells us his car was broken into same way samething grab the purse walk away grab wallet out of purse and anything looks good and drop the purse in a bust ten feet away. Check records at wufes work same guy donated same time phone was stolen. He finished donating at 240 at 250 on camera you can see them breaking into the car at her work with just there back to the camera. No face shots. Go figure police are worthless. They don't even want the address we gps located. I'm close to this guy I tell ya. I'm gonna find him recovered phone or not and get ours . Just still trying to track the phone out.

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

ATT isnt going to care whats on the phone anyway.
They are going to send it off to an authorized repair service...(samsung), and it will get plugged in for diagnostic testing, then repaired.
After that, it will get wiped clean with a fresh firmware image, and re-sold as a refurbished device.
Dont worry about the data on the phone, unless it's information that you cant live without. It's going to be wiped away....g
Videos should have been saved on a micro SD card then you wouldn't have this issue.

Hey guys. So I was in my school weight room and I was doing my curls when I dropped my SGP 5. Didn't realize it because of my music. So when I finished my set, I happened to acidentally drop a 45 pound dumbbell on the screen. As you would guess, it didn't end well. So right now it has a massive dent in the top left corner and glass is coming off. The screen (miraculously) still works and it still connects to my computer. I need to know how I can bring it into best buy without them noticing its rooted. I already have it on default ROM and kernel but it still has superuser and terminal. I literally have no money so a new device isnt an option. Any help?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
there shoud be an unroot option under superuser.
btw, having terminal doesnt mean yr rooted.
B sure to make a nandroid.

If unrooting through superuser doesn't work, try the unoot feature in superoneclick.
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
Thanks guys. I ended up having a friend fix it. Though I found out that my best buy no longer has the SGP's anymore. Would I be able to get an nexus 7 with my warranty due to them not having a replacement and similar prices? I remember having something like that for my headphones.

I don't know about that. But you say your Best Buy does not sell the player anymore? Weird. Although you might be able to buy it at Toys R Us (yep they sell the player there too).

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.
Just an FYI.
