Thanks, planned on signing up at some point but just did it now while it's free
Thanks for the heads up. Just signed up, it was easy as pie. Already have my SMS backed up and tried the remote location feature - it was accurate within a block, which was impressive. Can't beat the price, too!
Had it for a while.. cannot stress how awesome it is, get it while you can!

everyone I know with android devices went and signed up after I gave them a quick demo.
If you uninstall this, then you're screwed? Can you ever get it back?
as far as I know signing up on the site sets up an account that is good for whatever sim you registered.
Also there is a an app on the market now that locks down your phone if wave secure is uninstalled! even more protection for your device.
You may not get the phone back but at least whoever steals it cant use it either.

If you mean as far as the free account goes, as long as you have created your account on phone and website, should be able to reinstall at any time.
Well they can hard reset, but a random thief/finder may not know that.
I have the uninstall protection.
AWESOME.

wouldn't that be the same as a remote with wave secure? I guess if they wiped the phone as soon as they stole it before you had a chance to lock it down. Once its locked they can't reset, or is there some other way to reset that I am not aware of?
Reset via the bootloader, indefensible.
How does this program compare to Mobile Defense? I have that installed on my N1 right now, but if people here like Wave Secure more, I might make the switch over. Thanks!
Get it while it's free and decide for yourself... you don't have to use it if you prefer Mobile Defence

Pull the battery?
Thanks for letting us know. It would be shame to miss a life time subscription on this.
That being said... i'm a bit disappointed with it. Location service is really bad... all it does it show your phone at the closest tower. It showed my phone almost a half a mile away. No way I would ever find it. Also, any command issued seems to take forever, or, as I just saw, not work at all "Your phone failed to lock". The first time it locked but took an abnormal amount of time (their words). I'm guessing its the fact that its a Singapore SMS coming into AT&Ts network.
None the less, it can only get better. Thanks again.

Sounds like it couldn't get location from your GPS and failed back to cell tower location. When I do it sitting in my house it shows a a circle no bigger then my property centered on my house on google maps!

I'd say simply Calling it, and leaving a few Reward if Found Texts!
So, I do deliveries, and my phone is always in my car as the GPS is a MUST. Well, tonight, the unfortunate happened. GOt in my car, about to head home from my shift, when my stereo popped up and said failed to connect with bluetooth device. "Uh oh, i must've left my phone at work, wonder why i brought it out of my car..." Turned around, a block down the road, no such luck pairing while in the parking lot next to the small office building. "maybe it just doesn't reach this far" went inside and searched everywhere. No luck. had another employee call it form his cell. "Welcome to verizon wireless..." he hung up and tried again, same message. Third time it went to voicemail. So, i called verizon, they suspended my line, and added the ESN to the stolen list.
Well, now I am without a phone in a critical position where one is needed. Maybe I can get by for a few days without, but will slow me down alot, and my preformance based pay will be docked massively. Question is, what phone should I be looking at? I still have my upgrade eligibility, but instead of $100 credit which I earned on a more expensive plan, I only have $30. So, verizon has screwed me over. Also to find out, i have not been paying insurance all this time, when I never requested for it to be removed.
What phones should I be looking at? any new changes to verizons policies/pricing that I should watch out for?

Maybe you can install Lookout Security remotely. The free version will show you where the phone is on a pc and you can do contact backup as well as make the phone scream. I have never tried to install Lookout myself remotely so I don't know what if any responses it may ask on the phone, but I do have this app.

So, i recieved an email today while I was at work stating someone tried to change my facebook password. I rarely use facebook, but this is still a big issue. I think I may have found a way to catch the bastard who stole the phone. I hope facebook logs the IP when such an attempt occurs, including logins. How do I go about retrieving such IP?
It may be too late now but 'Plan B' is worth a try:

Looking through the market, I see Last Used: July 28th which was 2 days before it was stolen. and most recent purchase was July 29th the day before, how is this possible?

In July 2011, my Nexus S was stolen. I went to the police but they said they probably couldn't recover the device. So I just kinda let it go.
Well, a few weeks ago I found out the the phone was still connected to my Market account. This provides a bit of a security concern because I've got my credit card on my market account too, but they haven't bought anything. Just for fun, I decided to download and install Plan B to the phone, and within a few hours, I got four emails of the phone's location within 15 meters. Well, I didn't have time to bring that to the police, and that was eleven days ago. So I have a few questions:
1. I want to be able to get a more recent location because I'm afraid the police will say the location is too many days old. I know you can text "locate" or whatever to the phone but it's not my number anymore. (I know this because on my market account it says it's an AT&T phone whereas I'm on T-Mobile.)
2. Is there any way at all to remote remove the app and re install it?
3. Is there another app similar to Plan B that I can do the same thing?
4. Is there anything else I can do?

That really sucks. I know Lookout had an option on their site to collect the location through the internet, no phone number required. Don’t know if it's 100% sure, but it's worth a shot. Really hope you get your phone back. Good luck!

You should be able to login to your Google voice account and see which number it now forwards to. Assuming you had it on the phone and they did set it up. If not you can just text to your Google voice number and it should go through.
I don't have Voice to forward to any phone. :/ Darnit!

Never used Latitude. Not sure if any of my friends even use it. I'm like a hardcore geek compared to those gamers. xD
I lost my phone last week and it was found today because the "finder/thief" return the phone to my service provider after I requested the IMEI to be blocked.
After I got my phone, everything has already been factory reset by the "finder/thief", the SD was missing, we know who probably took it. No wonder whereismydroid and Plan B apps never worked, because they are absolutely useless. All thieves have to do is take the battery and sim card out, go home, factory reset with ODIN or something, all your information and those so called tracking Apps are gone, and Plan B can NOT be installed remotely because your gmail is no longer signed into your phone.
So IMO these apps are useless.
user installed apps? yea they are. its why i flash cerberus as a system app (survives a factory reset). i dont have a pin lock or anything of teh sort to make teh theif want to reset. instead im quite alright with him opening it up and calling/texting whomever he wants cuz ill be tracking him the whole time. chances are the guy who buste dteh window of yoru car to get the phone doesnt know to take teh device get it into download mode and use odin to wipe out the stuff i installed

I'm no cop but the OP didn't say how it was stolen but shabby knew that it was taken out your car by breaking the window...
Yes im pointing fingers!! BUT.. Im just kidding .

I've been wondering if theres an app like the one he mentioned that can be installed and track the phone without being deleted.
I didn't know where to look but now i have a name so i can do my research.
Im not too technical with android but my goal is to have a phone with great security like firewalls blockers and what not.

Interesting, I'd not thought about putting an app like this on my phone - do you really think it would help much though, I mean your still not gonna get the phone back, right? Cool thought.
Everything said and done, even if you are able to get whereabouts of the thief and say he's geographical location is such that it will take ages to track him down, how would this app help?
I agree it may give you a sense of security but the ground reality is that it won't help much. Show thy love to your device and keep it in your gaze all the times!

She has been scamming me and harassing me for 9 months. Trying to get me to click on a fabricated email with script embedded. She finally got her way. Took her almost 8 months the of trying.
I most definitely have never installed any remote desktop server or clients but I know she has. I have found them and Uninstalled. Numerous times. She has been deleting recovery emails and adding saved passwords all day. And that's just today.
If she's such a pro, bring it to a real geek professional than relying on advice from forum. She might have copied it to some partitions which are not formatted by default.

Great. Here we go. She is now back on. Messing with this forum for me. I doubt you all can see it but she is doubling up messages and moving my screen around. Crap. Oh well. If you want to email me. It's [email protected]
I did 20 to 25 full erase factory resets in a row. Still was back after the last one. I have 2 other phones she is in and 3 laptops as well.
how can you say so, plz send some screenshot. I dont think she did anything ...
I'm not exactly sure what you would like to see for a screen shot. I am running on a drive that is obviously emulated on my screen and supposedly I have 43 sensors on a fold 2. Maybe that's counting all the drivers for the sensors on my phone to connect to her phone along with all the sensors on her device. I know for a fact that at one point she had my OS running on an s21. She told me I wouldn't be able to prove it. I'm too stubborn to give up. Lol. Here is 2 screen shots. One is my hard disks and the other is my 42 sensors.

Yup. Sure thing. Whatever you say. It's very much real. It's actually very crazy. No one on here has offered me any real input. I'm not making this up. It is very much real. And although it is extremely difficult to do it is possible. Especially for someone that can program on the run and has professional and commercial experience. It's all good.
I'm not sure how she would manage to get on a burner phone too. I'm pretty sure it's possible to hack into a router & infect devices connected to it if you're using the same wifi network. You could try getting a new router & a new burner phone & don't connect any other devices you may have to the new router in case they're infected. And don't open emails from addresses you don't recognize. I would suggest going to geek squad or something like that rather than a forum though.
Ando do a malware scan on any other devices you have if possible. If you have another way to connect those devices to internet like tethering, you could try Trend Micro housecall. It's a free online malware scanner.

How do you know you're being hacked?
Tough to take this seriously and as fact.
But if you are, why haven't you gone to the authorities?
First of all this is fold 3 section not fold 2.
Secondly leave the phone to local police and tell them your wife or gf is hacking into your phone and let specialist att police go through your phone and if they find it's true they will grab evidence out of the phone and then arrest her for suspicious of hacking and they will use evidence when interviewing her and asking her that they found traces of her hacking the person's phone and such. Not last but least if higher up person decides to is do house warrant at her home so they will go home to her take all of her computer stuff including tablets and phones as part of investigation and they will check through all of them.
If you keep reseting your phone you are getting rid of all evidence from her and she will have lower chance of being sued in court and sentenced to jail for her criminal behaviour.
These sensors comes from your hardware nothing she's doing lmaoz. All smart phones have these sensors
