Hi guys... just found out we've been burgled.
I had a fresh unconfigured install of LI3... Will I be able to track it?!! I am based in the UK and the phone would have been at least half charged.
Thanks,
crabby

Yes you can, if you have enabled Samsung Dive or if you have installed any tracking software

Is your Gmail configured in the phone? If yes, try pushing androidlost from the market to your phone. Good luck.

+1 for this post
like this idea:good:
Installing apps from the market won't work, because I think you'd have to activate the app by starting it first. Apps dont start after install automatically as far as i know.
Take your IMEI number and receipt of purchase to the police. In theory, they can track it aswell (only by cell tower triangulation, not by gps). Depends on your country and local police if they would actually do that.
Plan b should work... it's designed to activate on installation so it starts tracking straight away.
If you don't get an email from it straight away... send an sms saying "locate" and it should reactivate the tracking

Just keep trying. Eventually it'll work.
It makes sense to turn the phone off after you've stolen it so it can't be tracked. Eventually the thief will have to turn it on, whether he's selling it or checking it out.
Good luck :good:

go to market.android.com remotely install androidlost, visit the androidlost website and remotely active and track your phone, you can even record and take pics of what the thief sees and says, and when they look at your phone it'll send you pics of them

Yes. It's the bad news that sell to the people, not the good ones... And it's also interesting to find out, if one can get he's smartphone back by using these tracking apps. Now we can find out if they're useless or not.
Hope Plan B works for you. Bring a baseball bat and a few friends when you track the thief down.
And when you do have your phone back, install Cerberus on it right away, it's a fantastic anti theft app with a great web control center and tons of features.
Plan B vs. Android Lost, which one is better?

Why? "burgle" is a standard English verb that you'll find in any dictionary. Don't really get why it's worth loling at.
Anyway, I tried it (and by "it" I mean everything) when I lost my i9000. To no avail unfortunately.
The problem with all those apps is they need internet. If the thief doesn't connect it to wifi or the mobile data.... And most thieves will steal it only to immediately sell it so why would they. Odds are the person who buys it will wipe it, and then unfortunately, nothing can be done.
When it became apparent the thief hadn't sold my phone (yet), I left my account open for as long as possible, hoping they'd turn on mobile data. But when the calls to Romania started adding up I had to have it cancelled and lost all hope. Hope you have better luck.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it would be a good idea if Samsung Dive could turn data on by an alternative means like an SMS. Because as useful as any such services may be, they're all near-worthless if they have no data connection - indoors getting a lock with AGPS is difficult. Without data its next to impossible. At least with data you're guaranteed to get at least the approximate location based on cell towers and wifi.
Oh well

Pretty techy robber then, don't you think so? I doubt he'd have Odin set up at his house to flash ROMs on stolen phones. He'd need to have downloaded many ROMs, unless he planned to rob all S3s.
No, joking aside, he probably will factory reset. In that case, if the tracking app was installed as a system app, it will remain there (I believe Cerberus has that feature), or else you'd have yo give your serial number to the police to track it. Sorry for the loss though. Damn these robbers!

As people have said Samsung dive (if you set it up on your phone) will allow you to lock the phone making it useless to a robber, also you can track it through GPS. And if there is no chance of getting the phone back remotely wipe your phone, so personal details are safe.
I don't know if it can turn GPS on remotely though, some third party security apps like lookout will turn GPS on remotely as well, you can then work with the police, if they want even give them login details so they can track it without you.
Another option is contact your network to get the imei blacklisted.

No competition here, just get Cerberus, why you ask?
1.You can inject it into the system rom using a using a zip from recovery, will never be removed until phone is flashed, or you decide to remove it, immune to factory reset.
2.You can specify 3 phone numbers that can control your phone via sms commands in case there is no data connection.
3.Notifies you when an unauthorized sim is used and sends you (usually) the new sim number, always will send you the new sim serial number and carrier info.
4.Can be totally hidden and u only can bring it up using a dialer number.
5.You can remotely control your phone cameras, microphone, shoot videos, wipe data, lock screen, activate emergency calls only mode, shut data off, turn it on, and wipe the phone or the sd.

I am looking for some assistance in locating a lost HTC Rezound.
The device was lost earlier this week and was turned on again this evening.
I am monitoring the device via the Verizon Wireless "Check Text Status" online app. https://text.vzw.com/vtext/dashboard/Checkstatus.do
The device was receiving texts this evening, I tried calling it, it was on and receiving!
I have tried a few apps that claim to be installable via the Play store and remotely activate themselves, but I havent had any luck when the device is on. It doesnt look like whomever has the device in hand was uninstalling the apps immediately. I tried: Plan B, Wheres My Droid Lite, and AndroidLost.com.
Does anyone know of some app that actually works?
Thanks for you help in advanced friends!
If you report it to Verizon I think they can GPS track it, as well as remotely SIM lock it. I could be totally wrong though, I've never reported a stolen phone.

You really think it's a smart idea to confront whomever stole your device? Here is what I would do:
Step 1: call Verizon and report it stolen.
Step 2: suck it up and call insurance, pay $99 for a refurb.
Step 3: don't lose the phone again.
Glad I could help.

Hello i recently lost my Galaxy Player in my school May 17th, 2013 and i had no way to find its location. Until May 19, 2013 I installed the app by Lookout called "Plan B" it was installed on my Device threw a WIFI connection. Since the player is not a Phone i kinda use it like a Phone threw Google Voice and Groove IP lite. Since its installed, It didn't send me an Email on its location. I used a friends phone to send "Locate" SMS. Is it because its a MP3 player instead of a phone?
Is it possible to retrieve the device?
Unless someone turns on the device(somehow gets past security if you have it) connects to wifi then you are screwed. Of course I am sure if someone found it they have restored the device by now . Can you not ask if someone turned a lost mp3 player or something? Sorry to hear what happened man.

sorry to say but if someone stole it, it is most likely not at the school anymore.
the only options that are most likely not going to lead to anything are
1. latitude is activated and it has updated her location recently
2. you have a lost phone app installed and set up. installing it via google play will do nothing at all.
if nothing like that is good. i would say the serial # to police is probably your best option at this point only because if the person who stole it knows what they are doing, they could have easily factory reset it already.
sorry and i hope you find it :fingers-crossed:

Don't laugh, it's pretty easy to get on your phone from what I have read, and they can get a lot of info from your phone, listen to your calls, location updates, read your texts and emails, no good or cool.

If we both leave our phones at home for a few hours, like when we take the bike out, all the sudden they call constantly. There's tons more. I just want to know how to remove it and prevent it.
It's there, it's real, and all too easy these days to spy on someone using there cell. I've read it can reinstall it self after you factory reset your phone and it is virtually undetectable. Every time we buy new phones the person I speak of sends a text with a pic, after that we never get texted by them. Or after an update (OTA) or otherwise. I was just hoping I could get some real sound advice being this is XDA.
Check it out, I was thinking about doing it to the suspected persons

You still need to install it on the phone. You can't push it on the phone without you knowing. Like it says on the website you linked to, it's either a link you need to click on, a qr code, or copy the install file from a computer via usb.
Either way, just do a factory reset.

That's only one, I guess there are some that can remote install now.
