i am currently searching some apps to help you locate your phone.
both ios and blackberry have free apps that lets you ring, wipe, send message, lock and locate via gps your phone. even blackberry has the added feature that will backup your data, and can even be configured to do it automatically or just over wifi.
what options do we have on android? for what i have searched there is "where's my droid" that has some basic features with sms but due to a recent android restriction it cannot turn on gps
Lookout Mobile Security
Motoblur actually has a device locator and remote wipe built in.
https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal/
My only issue with that is if someone gets ahold of your phone they can wipe it really fast and than your sol. With lookout you can at least lock the phone so no one can use it

not if you already have a lock on your phone via fingerprint scanner or pin
Wavesecure also works good.
http://preyproject.com/
Prey works quite well.
Prey..
but a very lightweight one..
TheftAlarm... is a pretty small one lol. not a lot of functions but.. it checks on anyone who puts a random sim on your phone.
Someone else mention Motoblur and I have to say this is the best option.
Combined with any type of screen lock, fingerprint scanner or the standard locks, you would be safe and sound. If someone tries and switches out the sim card, the phone goes into lockdown until your motoblur account name and password are entered.
You can track the phone and remote wipe it all from their website similar to apple's mobile me.
Prey is a good option, but not as reliable on the tracking portion I think. It does have however a nice lockdown feature.
I've always used MobileDefense but I noticed no one here even mentioned that so perhaps it's really not all that great?
MotoBLUR's tracking with Autowipe (free) from the Market is winning in my book.
Motoblur couldn't locate my phone. Just kept searching for a while and then it just stopped.
Is gps on?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
this is a cool feature.
motoblur would be perfect if it could turn on gps. Pretty sure lookout has the ability to turn on gps for you. Also has a pretty neat tool called plan b that can install and report location after your device goes missing.
As of right now I have my gps on at all times. If I eventually turn it off I will switch from motoblur to lookout.

You could also use androids web store to push programs, but not sure if it would auto work or not
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it will def. work with the "plan b" application because it is designed to be pushed out through the web store after the fact. It installs remotely and even enables gps for you. Within 10 minutes it emails your google address with the location of the phone. If it doesn't work after ten minutes you can send a text to your phone with the word "locate" to force it.
haven't tried it but I like the idea
I am wondering if there is a way to modify the Facebook APK to get contact sync working without modifying ContactProvider.apk as I am using a non rooted phone and don't want to root just for this. In the past I have used HaxSync but with the latest Facebook APIs that no longer works.
Is it simply a case of adding the WRITE_CONTACTS permission to the Facebook APK and if so is that (easily) possible?
Thanks for any help, if there is a better subforum for this type of thing please let me know also, thanks.
I don't believe it is app specific, it's through their servers, if I understand the problem correctly. The only thing I have seen from the apps that used to work is they say the contact has to grant permission to let them sync the info before it will work. This seems like just modding the app will not be enough to help accomplish what you are trying to do.

For third party apps, (e.g. HaxSync, UberSync etc.) what you're saying is true. These apps no longer function due to server side changes by Facebook in the form of updated APIs (as I mentioned in the OP).
However I am talking about the official Facebook app. With this app, the contact sync still works perfectly, on ROMs where ContactsProvider.apk is modified to explicitly grant permission to the Facebook app (com.facebook.katana) to write contacts, without the app itself requiring the permission that every other app needs. OEMs such as Samsung modify ContactsProvider.apk in this way so as to allow Facebook to sync (by basically adding an exception to the permission check). There are also flashable mods for custom ROMs, as well as an Xposed module which performs this task. Obviously these require unlocked bootloader & custom recovery, or root & Xposed respectively.
However, I believe that if the app itself is modified to require this permission (i.e. android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, it should also work, without requiring an exception in ContactsProvider.apk.
The reason modifying ContactsProvider is "preferred" by most is that doing it that way allows the app to be installed from the Play store and thus maintain auto-updates, whereas if you modify the APK you no longer get auto-updates, and would have to manually update. But that's worth it to me to get contact syncing working.
EDIT: On closer inspection, it may be more complicated than I thought. The Facebook app already has this permission, there must be something else preventing it from functioning. I still believe it is possible to get it working simply by modifying the APK, but it is likely beyond my capabilities.

Actually this fiasco started a couple of years ago. When Facebook & Google had a spat over data sharing. Facebook app has the support to sync contacts. But it is not natively supported. It is just a matter of 0 & 1. But OEM like Samsung, HTC have made contract with Facebook individually, so it is supported on those phones.
For syncing, if you are rooted you can use an Xposed module here in XDA. It's something like Xfbmod. And for the apps, Sync.me still works like a charm. I used it just a while ago.

I've seen a few forum posts referencing things along these lines, but I have found absolutely zero concrete evidence of such a "spat". There is nothing in Android to specifically disallow FB syncing, the OEMs that support it have modified the framework to explicitly grant the app permission. For a reference on this, check the CM gerrit issue about this. To quote Steve Klondik (founder of CM) on this:
Yeah, screw Facebook. We should not be hacking up the framework because they won't fix their app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The OEMs have decided to make a workaround, for their users benefit. Not because they have some contract, of which I have seen no evidence. The issue is with Facebook's app and their refusal to fix the issue.
As I mentioned in the OP if you bothered to read it, I am not rooted and do not want to be, and am also fully aware of the Xposed module.
As for Sync.ME, I installed it the other day and it asked straight away to upload all my contact data to their servers. It's not my place to put the details of my friends and family in the hands of some company I'm not particularly familiar with.
Tip: Installing Facebook APK version 28 or lower will give you the ability to sync contacts again. Updating to the latest version will still allow you to sync for a limited amount of time until it re-downloads updated configuration files (I think?). So I think the problem is just some config or database file disabling the feature.

I installed version 28 and got no option to sync. Are you on AOSP or some OEM/custom ROM? Version 28 was released long after sync stopped working on the official FB app for myself and many other people.

I'm using Samsung Note 4 official rom. Try older ones? Mine doesn't have sync if I use versions above 28. It stopped working for me around October 1st week (Version 49). So when I want to sync, I have a titanuim backup of my version 24 data and just restore it (without restoring app itself). That way I can sync for a few minutes until the menu disappears again.
Edit: read the whole thread and I see that the problem was on other roms only. But nevertheless, Facebook disabled contacts syncing for all phones now since around version 40+. Only way to make it work is to downgrade or the steps I used above.
After the recent update to the Barclays app it doesn't seem to stay open in the background so you can't use contactless unless you log into the app everytime. Am I missing a setting in the phone somewhere?

If you go into settings/battery/app launch you can remove that app from battery optimization and allow it to stay open in the background. That might work--I'm not familiar with the Barclays app.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that's how I got it to work originally before they updated the app. That doesn't seem to work now though.
I have the same problem and the latest app version. However jhs39 is correct for the fix. Go into settings>Battery>App Launch select the Barclays App so that it is "Managed Manually", you can leave all three options enabled. You will then need to login to the app once more. You should then be working. I think the issue is that the app want's to have an active process running but the battery manger sweeps it up as it is not recognised and using power!
The really bad thing about this app is that if you reboot your device (or it loses power - battery drain) you will have to remember to re-login each time..... Google Pay and Amex Pay do not have this problem - poor app.

You have to jump through enough security hoops to get the card into the NFC chip but I'm all up for security. My point is that this is a poor app because it relies on an unprotected process and when it does fail it comes up with ERROR CM057 which is not really helpful. Furthermore no-one in Barclays can tell you what it means. A better response would be "Please login to complete the transaction" or your "Login Details have expired". So yes this is a poorly written app that Google and Amex do not suffer from.
After discussing the issue with them on Google Play and being asked to be some sort of QA Tester for their broken app that they use in lieu of better contactless options I just gave up and transferred my account to another bank. I can now use Google Pay, problem solved.
How does contactless payments work through the phone? On my iPhone, I would double press the home button to get my list of cards up. I have a Barclays and Tesco card - both of which, do not support Google Pay. 'Doh!!
Do you remember which settings you tweaked to get it to work?
I tried the battery management settings and it is unchecked so it is managed manually with all 3 other options that pop up left switched on but I'm still having the same problem, ever since I had my P20 Pro in fact. When I got my 2nd Mate 20 Pro (1st was replaced for the gluegate issue), it worked once and one other time when I tried switching NFC off and back on but apart from that it hasn't worked since.
I wish Barclays would just ditch this "feature" and allow Google Pay to add Barclay's cards. It's so frustrating standing at the check out trying to get it to work, opening the app, logging in so your balance is there for everyone to see, exiting the app etc. etc. and then it still doesn't work for me and I have to end up going through my wallet to find my card anyway. It won't even work for me on the pay screen with the 30 second countdown!
[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone
This is the method that I used to get notifications back on my P40Pro+ after a GMS hack install. I am not saying it will work for everyone and indeed if you need Google location tools on all the time, dont follow this but if your not too worried, then have a read. It has been taken from other guides out there and a little bit of my own for testing. It can be reversed and backed out of it you dont like it but as I keep getting questions on Facebook about how I done it, I thought I would share it with you too.
In this method you will need :
Huawei multitool V8 from here
Push Notification Tester from Playstore here or wherever you get your apps from
Disabling GSF
Disable Google Services Framework (GSF) using Huawei Multitool v8.
Using this tool on a Windows PC, you will find a section in the Modifications section for disabling apps on a adb connected phone to the app. Connect your phone and select show system apps and look for 'com.google.android.gsf' and select 'disable'.
See image below attached 'Multitool V8 Disabled app'
I disable (GSF) using this as it is easier for me than to use icebox or other freezer apps.
To test notifications are now working
Once disabled check that you can now receive notifications by opening Push Notification Tester installed from Playstore before starting this, will allow you to test notifications. With GSF disabled, they should now work as they should. See attached screen shots below 1-4.
Another way to test them is to just send your self an email. Just make sure you have notifications set in the setting menu first. You can try the notification tester in Outlook but does time out a lot but perseverance can prove it works but an email to your self is just as good. See screen shots 6 and 7 for where this is in the outlook help pages. Screenshot 8 shows Outlook notifications working.
The reason this works I believe is that most apps relying on GMS, their notifications work through GSF and with the GMS hack, they can't, so by disabling GSF, they can use their own default route again, through themselves.
The downside is that with GSF disabled, Google Playstore no longer works and also Google location history, there may be more but it has no real affect unless you rely on them (I dont). Maps still work with directions, Waze too but not your history or phone location via Google. Find you phone via Huawei still works obviously, so you still have other options. Of course, you can use Aurora Playstore instead or any other playstore option and if you have paid apps through Googles Playstore, then you can go to GSF in settings/apps on your phone and enable GSF (see screen shot 5 below) or via the Multi tool V8 again, download your paid app update etc and then disable it via multitool v8 after to get notifications back.
Thanks for the guide, wierd issue for me. Once my phone is conencted, and i disable the service via the Multi Tool, i still have access to the Playstore.
Going to apps -> system prcoesses, it doesnt have the disabled text next to the process. if i click on it, it says "Enable" and "Force Stop". Which initially leads me to think this has been disabled. Then once i go to Push Notification Tester, it fails on step 3 - Register for Push Notifications.
You should not have Playstore access. You dont have any work accounts installed? They have 2 gsf's etc. I would use the muti tool to check for disabled apps. It should show gsf.
May be re do?
I am able to enable and use Playstore, then disable it again to get notifications back at will, so you should too.

I think I know the issue. I have installed GSM the old way (which used to work). If you look at the start of this video he shows two devices ( both with GSM) one which fails the notification tester app, and one which passes. He then uses the icebox method to grt notifications on the phone which passes the tests
https://youtu.be/A4889MUA9EQ
I think I may have to factory reset and use this new method ??
Good luck and if you do, please let us know what method is currently working.
Can you please check for me, if it's possible to install the game jw alive with this method? Offer 5€ via Paypal for this. Just write your Email via PM

As of today, i can confirm that this method works for notifications, just make sure to restart your device after disabling / enabling.
As for the push notifications, gmail not working for me, outlook works. other apps works too, but from time to time it doesnt push properly, maybe battery optimisation or something i dont know. any idea for this issue?
anyone have any updates on this? I too have the problem - random notifications come in (usually a bunch coupled together)....Trying to figure out a real solution. Any one have any luck?

@Sathelp -> When you say this at the previous quote message, you really can tell that I can disabled and then enable GSF to receive notifications and then use Play Store ?? Right ??
Will have message issues that "Google requires an action ... etc" and I must reinstall all GMS if I enable GSF again ??
My guide was based on A10 at launch. I used the G app with a back date to get my GMS before it was blocked. Using that at the time worked fine. Disable GMS using adb command enabled notifications as they worked through HMS. I just enabled GMS to run playstore, get and update apps and then disable it for normal use.
As I have not downgraded or used googlefyer etc, I can't say how it will work with these newer methods.
The idea of the workaround to deactivate GSF for receiving push notifications emerged in April or Mai 2020. Over half a year has passed now... Maybe there is a better solution now to have GSF activated and get all push notifications? It would still be great to have a working play store and the notifications!
Any progress in that matter? Any new ideas?

We're looking for something at this thread, we can keep GSF unfrozen and get push notificacions ... but after 12 hours Play Protect errors started to appear.
There are at least two users that they haven't this issue and all it works fine ...
How to get notification without freezing GSF
Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man! The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will...
forum.xda-developers.com
This sounds great, thx
And because this doesn't work on all devices yet:
Maybe another possible solution could be to let the desired apps only *think* that GSF is not available. So that they try using their own default route again...
But hot could that be accomplished. Maybe via App Cloner?

I've done all the stuff recommend for passing safetynet in the guide for rooting, Google pay and Netflix work (gotta sideload Netflix).
But Chase gives me warnings about root and also won't allow fingerprint sensor.
Anyone got Chase working? Bonus: also get Amazon Prime Video working.
I used magiskHide with chase and chase does not detect root.
Fingerprint is tricky. In older versions you could kill the app and keep relaunching until it allows you to enter your fingerprint. I think the app recently updated, so you would have to clear the chase app data, relogin, then try registering your fingerprint within the app. If it fails, just kill the chase app, relaunch and try again. The key is clearing the Chase app data.
For a different banking app, I had to add it to the Magisk deny list to use my fingerprint.
My other apps like capitalone and E-Trade work ok but Chase refuses to for some reason.

Chase has really good fraud protections in place be it on their credit cards or accounts. If there is fraud on your account they bear the responsibility and will make good almost to the penny IIRC. That being said they also have a tech department that is very aware what a rooted device could do to an account if the devices is compromised. Therefore, it's not a good idea to use Chase app for banking purposes if you are rooted. It's really for your protection although I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way. As for now you can use it on an unlocked bootloader but root will kick it out. Perhaps in the future there will be a mod that Chase won't detect and by the same token they might not allow unlocked bootloaders either.

I can use the app though.
Some features are disabled (it doesn't specific which ones), and fingerprint doesn't work, but otherwise I can use the app.
Also th idea that a rooted device is dangerous is a meme that I don't take seriously. Computers have had way more freedom than even a rooted mobile device, and we've been doing banking on them for longer and even into the current year.

Yeah I know it's not a popular position especially in this community. Computers are not mobile though for the most part. Open wifi can be problematic on both platforms. Using a VPN mitigates some of that which I use religiously. I still though won't bank on an unknown network. But I do get your point.

Perhaps in the future there will be a mod that Chase won't detect and by the same token they might not allow unlocked bootloaders either.

I'm not sure I understand the point here. You can log in and do everything on your rooted phone if you go in through a browser. What's the difference between that and their dedicated app? Also, I'm pretty sure all major credit card companies have full fraud protection/pay you back everything. Not sure why chase would be special.

Yeah I'm not sure what the difference is or where their liability attorneys stand.. As I said it's not a popular position but I also don't want to deal with banking issues so I avoid anything that might go against that. To each their own.
Try turning off USB debugging if you have it enabled. My banking app would not load with it on.
