does anybody know??

Maybe try something like Avast instead? Lots of options in it for tracking your mobile.
I'm presuming here you want to turn it off so the person who has your mobile doesn't know you are tracking it?

Find My Mobile not working?

Anyone know how to enable "Find My Mobile" on the GT10.1? When i check the box for Remote Controls, it pops up a ID/Password box but I'm only able to enter the password portion. Entering any password whether correct or not gives a "Processing failed" message.
On samsungdive, my account login works just fine.
has anyone been successful?
I'm able to log in at the settings page but I don't know where to go on Samsung's web site to track my phone.

So when you enable "Remote Control", do you get a popup window for ID/Password? If so, can you enter both ID and Password or just Password?

I saw that in your original post but it looked like an autocorrect error. What an odd domain name.
Anyway, I was able to log in. Here are the results...
- Find my mobile: Worked perfectly. Saw my exact location. The Satellite overlay showed the building and my exact location within the building where my Tab is located.
- Track my Mobile: I didn't try it. Assuming that it could find me perfectly I expect it could also track me.
- Ring my Mobile: Mixed results. Yes, it rang my Tab and yes, it played a sound even though I had muted the Tab. However, it played a single "bong" (is that the default ring tone?) only once. It never repeated for the entire minute as promised. If I had lost the Tab and was trying to find it in some other room I'd be very disappointed. My advice, keep the other "find my device" software installed that plays a siren.
- Lock my mobile: Works perfectly. I was using the Tab in an unlocked state and it locked the Tab using the background of the regular lock screen. This is important to me because on the regular lock screen I have my contact information. It asks for the pin that I entered on the SamsungDive site and then unlocked the device.
- Wipe my mobile: Didn't try it. For obvious reasons. But considering everything else worked, I'm going to take a leap of faith and assume this works also.
I'd say I'm 80% satisfied.
Good to hear that it should work. Bad for me that it doesn't.
Anyone else have the same problem as I?
tried Samsung DIVE yesterday and today and it didnt work with the Tab 10.1
it worked fine with my Galaxy S II though
I'm in EXACTLY the same boat as flintdragon, to the letter.
looks like a long dead thread but I thought I would add the current samsung site info
as of 7/7/2013 you can log in to the samsung account site that has things like find my mobile here:::

[Q] Tab 10.1 into Hotspot

Hi all,
I got my tab for a little while now, i rooted it but that is pretty much the only change i made.
I got a new phone; the xperia pro but with no data plan since i already pay for my tab.
I heard that its possible to turn the tab into a hotspot so my phone could connect to the internet whenever i want as long as the tab is nearby.
I've looked on the market but didnt find the best app to do it so am asking you guys to give me THE best app for this.
Thank you for your help
Btw, if some of you wonder whats the meaning of my name, its actually a "play on word" here u get the 3 diff meaning it can have
NainConpetant
(stupid farting midget)
(competent midget)
(incompetent)
FIXED, got it to work, it was easy, in wi-fi settings i found how to do it.
I would erase the thread, but i cant

Is Talkback turned on?
Where would I find that?

Should be under Accessibility. It is for me.
For me, the speech rate and driving mode are under Language and input, not Accessibility. Are you sure you're looking in the right place?
How odd, its not here for me..

I see. Thebiyani is a JB based ROM. I am on ICS. So it's a good chance things are located in different spots for us.
Try asking in the ROM thread.
I'm on the leaked lsj (not this rom) and for me its under accesability>services>talkback. Otherwise if you can't find you could always try going into titanium baackup (if you don't have this and flash custom roms you really should) and find talkback and then freeze it, however i'm not sure if this will cause any other issues
I've "no services installed" under services...
But i have found out why the phone started talking.
I downloaded the app No LED and apparently that makes the talkback start.. bit of a rubbish bug TBH but at least I found the problem... But I never did find the Talkback
thanks though for your responses

Hi Praphulla,
Just came to my mind: On startup you do enter some details in the tab like your name, email ID etc and after that it registers tablet (I think on
Datawind's server). So give it a try as you said, it is not recognizing SIM, may be you can try on Wi-Fi or 3G dongle.
Give it a try and let us know what happens?
Hit thanks if I helped you...

I have done that before but now ubiinfo is stopped working when I reboot the tab it shows "unfortunately ubiinfo has stopped"
According to my knowledge that information does not register on datawind's server it just like inbuilt license.

[Q] Pairing Tablet & Phone via Smart Lock

Hi guys, it's moomoomania here. I have a question whether or not it is possible to pair my HTC M9 with my Nexus 9 via bluetooth for smart lock purposes ONLY (just like if I was to have an android watch -which I don't- to bypass my lockscreen). I've looked a million places and I have yet found an answer to my question.
I don't wish to pair it so I can tether internet access to my tablet; I just want to pair my android tablet with my android phone so I don't have to wait for my phone to see my face or do my pattern code.
If anyone has any knowledge or have successfully done it, let me know and I'll give you a huge thumbs up with my butt. Thank you!
you just need to pair them via bluetooth then uncheck "internet access" in the little settings box you can open with the gear icon.

Yes but everytime I do that, I am not able to connect it together. When I go into the Smart Lock settings, and try to apply my Nexus 9 as a trusted device for my M9, it always says "not connected" (at the "Choose device" tab). Do you have this problem or have successfully connected your tablet with your phone without a hitch?
EDIT: If I click the little smart lock notification, it says "Add trusted device? Connect your M9 to keep your phone unlocked". There is only a cancel button.

actually I have the same problem. :') it's been a problem since I updated my phone to lollipop, it was fine before. I think it's probably an AOSP bug since nothing I've ever done has been able to fix it. I wish I had more to add, maybe someone else can chime in.
