[Q] Lost My Sensation, HTCSense Website not working anymore?

I was at the gym yesterday and apparently I might have left it there by mistake, I went to the htc sense site to track it down but apparently they 'renovated it' and now you can't track it! Is there any way I can track it down after its lost (or stolen I guess)?
I downloaded Plan B but apparently it didn't install correctly or something because I didnt get any email yet (probably since there isn't any wifi where the phone is)
Quite a stupid move from htc to shut down such a good feature like that :/

Sorry for your loss, that really sucks dude. HTC did warn people they were going to remove that feature a couple of months ago. I rather liked it as well. The only other thing I can think of right now is, try having your service provider track it down using the phones gps. Sometimes it works. Good luck.

Well Im gonna go to the police station tomorrow, they SHOULD be able to track it down, but I highly doubt their efficiency -.-'
Thanks mate : ) Also, from now onwards, I'm installing Prey on every device I own!

Uh the police won't find ****. Call your carrier and find out the insurance company if sprint or Verizon its asurion or similar. I hope ya got insurance I don't think $6 a month is bad.

Vodafone doesn't track phones where I live, only the police do that. They are successful (sometimes) but not in my past cases haha.
Oh well, we'll see what'll happen.

Really? By saying lost I was being polite. If I really just lost it at the gym it would be on the machine where I left it on, which it wasn't the next day. Whoever took it took off the sim card cos it wont dial and I had it charged an hour before gym so the battery should still be working.
So yes, still think its just 'lost'?

You left it somewhere, someone picked it up, YOUR FAULT! It's not stolen and whoever has it would not be prosecuted for picking it up. Maybe you should pay more attention to your $500 piece of technical equipment. Only a truly entitled person would believe that the police should take time away from investigating murders, kidnappings, and assaults, to find their phone. Is your phone that important? Is this what you are telling us?

Maybe he should pay more attention but you cannot say it is his fault somebody took it and didn't give it to the gyms reception or to the police. I would do so if I found something lost. In my opinion they should track it because stealing is a crime too, isn't it.

Thank god someone with an open mind found this thread :f
Anyway, there aint much to do for now I guess. Thanks guys

Maybe you're lucky. As I heard HTC maintainances the HTC Sense website at the moment. But if the thief is smart enough he knows he could easyly reset the phone and you cannot track it anymore. Did you write to the support about your problem?

Indeed I did, well I had a custom rom so maybe he'd find it difficult due to the different drivers that might not be compatible with what he's used to. Also, I contacted support and they said the phone can be 'locked' if I give them the IMEI and Serial Number, which I did. lets see what will happen!

Wouldn't the phone just be locked out? I'm also curious... if it was used in a different country/provider, would it work? I would assume it'd work since the chances of your provider blocking the IMEI in the entire earth would be unlikely! If so, the answers seem pretty straightforward as to what will happen lol. Either it'll get sold or just not be usable!

Nono HTC told me they will block the phone themselves, so apparently it should be unusable worldwide I hope!

If it is in the wrong hands then it has probably been torn down and used for parts at this point. It's become a growing trend around here with lots of aftermarket repair companies getting busted for being nothing more than chop shops...

Well, here's what they said after giving them my IMEI number
"Dear sir again, we are really sorry for what happened with your device and we apologize for the inconvenience regarding HTCSense functionality. We will enter your data in our system, and we will list your device as stolen one. As soon as somebody tries to contact us with this data we will notify the authorities.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. "

bad imei

i recently got a 64gb s6 from a friend. i popped my sim card in and its working great. however, the phone was reported lost and the imei now says blacklisted on Verizon. Im pretty sure that once i take my sim out of the phone, it will never work on the Verizon netork again. my question is, i usually at night reboot my phone. if i turn this phone off, will it stop working??

I don't believe so since you already have an active sim. Yet I've never used a black listed device so I'm not positive

So he committed Fraud, reported it stolen and you got it... which makes it a STOLEN phone.
Why don't you get him to take it back and get a legit phone?

The phone itself will continue to work but will NEVER again, EVER work on ANY providers network... It's garbage. IMEI blacklist is worldwide, cannot be removed from the list once it's added but the phone could still be used as a WiFi PDA. It's rare for a phone to be IMEI blacklisted by a provider unless it's specifically requested because if you find the phone, even if you own it and reported it stolen, it cannot be un-blacklisted.
P.S. Your buddy screwed you! Go kick his ass, if it's been stolen from the provider and you use the WiFi, the provider will find it, and the popo will come to get it, and you...possession is 9/10's of the law remember

One more thing, your buddy probably reported it lost for insurance, and the insurer always blacklists a lost phone before they issue a new phone under the policy.
The lesson here: buy your phone from a provider or manufacturer legit, or risk losing your money and possibly your freedom for a bit cuz you saved a couple hundred bucks buying from a booster.

XDA Home of the off topic smart a** remarks site! This guy has a legitimate question an only @hopeserquiem has the repect to reply without giving useless remarks!! @twiz0r @brholt6 an @krelvinaz being senior members XDA an members expect better from you.. Now if the Mods should ban anything it should be you all for making XDA a place where people hate to ask for help!!
So let me apologize @mcnu on the behalf of XDA an say we welcome your question an we're glad your using XDA as a source of knowledge.. I know your not the only one that has bought a phone only to find that it has been blacklist an I do know you can have the phone removed from the blacklist but it is not something that can be done over night and you will need the person that had it blacklisted to request it to me lifted.. Now if for some reason he had it blacklisted to file a insurance claim, I'm afraid you will be out of the money you paid for the device.. So my advice is to contact the person that reported lost and ask him if he filed a claim an if he didn't ask if he wouldn't mind to request it to be lifted on the grounds of the phone has been found....
I hope this help and good luck.

Speaking of useless posts, you're only 9 months late. Surely he's found a solution by now. Anyways, if my friend sold me a blacklisted phone, I'd sure punch him in the nuts. You've heard of a joke, right? That's all my post was. Get off your soapbox and move on.

Seriously, you are picking up a post from JUNE of LAST YEAR where I posted the following:

If the seller reported it as lost/stolen then he did commit FRAUD. There is NO other way to state it.
Why don't you concentrate on a current topic and help someone rather than trolling in old threads where the conversation was to the point and accurate based on the OP's posting's.

A scam , I need your help friends

good morning, friends, I'm in trouble, my phone is in negative band, buy it on Ebay, and now I can not contact the seller, a typical scam, meeting in public place, I showed the phone, worked well, and went fast, the phone had no information, no sim card, nothing to return to the original owner, my inteciones were. To find out which company could see belonged to an operator who told me he was denounced, and its owner was reinstated with a new phone ...
Our justice system sucks. (Pardon the word)
From my side ... The phone already paid, now I have a nice shaped tablet Samsung 915G
The money was stolen from me ... The thing is that now I would like to use it, you install an original firmware, android 6.0.1 but still logically negative band.
there any way to change the imei? or remove negative band?
Look many guides, but was help me any odds.
From already thank you very much to all, I really like the forum and I think visit daily.

Negative band means on a blacklist?

Sooo.... Basically what you're saying and getting at then is... YOU WANT A FREE WAY TO DO THIS??? Not going to happen unless you buy the equipment and software to repair blacklisted IMEI's, otherwise you're outta luck, so buy a prepaid credit card load $35 bucks on it and use it to fix your problem, or sell the phone and pay more to get one that isn't blacklisted, but a bigger more curious question is how did ya use eBay and PayPal without a credit or debit card, gift card, your fault and loss then cause you could've disputed the seller and reported it eBay and gotten a full or partial refund and keep the phone and get it reloaded on your card and used that money to pay for the imei repair?
TL;DR No there is any magic flash this software hacks that will fix this, these sellers do it by services and software like the octopus box and so on, which are A LOT MORE Expensive than $35.

Ebay did not take over , as concrete so that the payment was made in cash. Maybe get a credit card from someone who can afford it and I could use the service, thank you very much , and I see at the moment is the only solution possible.

You could still dispute the case, even if paid in cash, if ya left positive feedback it may be too late though then.

I'm supper annoyed.

A friend of mine keeps asking whether he should buy a new note5, and then after a week return it but with a different note 5 still in new condition in the box. I keep telling him that he can't beat the system, and T-Mobile will smack his tushi the moment it realizes what he did. But he won't listen, so now I made this thread to see what you guys say. I personally never see employees check the imei on returns, but that's just me.

Haven't you guys heard about IMEI numbers yet? LOL
That's the first thing Tmoble checks to make sure its
the same as the original purchased phone's IMEI...
They do that not only to prevent fraud but but it's the
law regarding refunds, exchanges and repair.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I'm just going to weigh in my two cents first of all when a phone is purchased the imei is scanned and allows it to be used on the network once a return happens that same imei is scanned maybe it's not physically scanned it may just be auto filled from the receipt but the new phone will stop working and won't be activated because it was "returned" tell your friend to no try and scam companies like that they're not stupid and returns are done a certain way for this very reason and if he is caught he could face trouble with the law just be honest and tell him to buy a new phone and stick with it.

I hope this isn't one of those scenarios where the friend is really you. First off, why buy a new one when he already has a like new one? If it's a T-Mobile note 5, unless it's blocked for non payment or something the phones still under manufacturer warranty and T-Mobile will exchange it. The whole story sounds a bit fishy to me tbh.

lg stylo 5 dilemma

so a friend who owed me some money said he had an extra phone because he just got a new one. I can confirm this because I was there when he got his new stylo 6 so not thinking much about it (aka trust) and I desperately needed a phone so i agreed. he dropped the phone off at my work the other day, its clean, no cracks, i was very happy with it. the one thing that i couldnt confirm was it was unlocked. because of my trust with this so called friend i believed him when he said he hadnt charged it cuz he didnt use it anymore.
all good...i have a charger at the house i thought. and i did, but i turn the phone on and its locked.
i go to message my buddy, no response. i call, no answer. dude literally wont contact me because idk maybe doesnt know code (like he stole it or found it) or he knows code the and the phones software is ****ed, idk. but i ordered a metro sim and am hoping they will be able to help.
did i buy a paperweight, since i guess im not geitting paid back either by my degenerate of a friend, whom im removing the title of "friend" Its a nice phone and i would like to be able to use it.
any ideas? im nervous to reset because i dont want to google lock it incase he was logged in.
and for anyone wanting to imply im the thief go learn about KARMA. LEARN ABOUT IT. VERY REAL AND ALWAYS OCCURS.

It's not clear what phone you received also another strange thing is the phone looked in good conditions but no charger??
Another huge mistake you made is you didn't even turn the phone on in front of your "friend"?
The phone still has a Google account from the previous owner so even hard resetting it doesn't give you a working phone.
Imagine if the phone is stolen and someone just hard resets it and gets away, it doesn't work this way because Google will ask you the previous owner's login details.
In addition it looks like the phone has a screen lock so you're out of luck.
You can check online if the IMEI was blocked = stolen phone or unpaid phone rates.
Depending on your country of origin you should call the Police and report this "friend" and say he sold you a stolen phone, you believe it's stolen because the phone is locked and that guy refused to deal with you.
Lesson learned, buying second hand phones is very risky unless you know what you're doing.
Regarding Google, I sold a Google Pixel3 with hard reset and the new buyer was able to use it while a Lenovo P2 with hard reset will only allow the setup once it gets the previous owner Google credentials!

om...., well... if it don't work anyways... I'd reset it, worst case it Google locks, AND asks for screen code and Gmail, and your buddy should have that if he or she ever responds anyway
