I'd look into "Prey" if I was you. It's free, and works across a bunch of devices. I have it on my Inspire, my MacBook Pro, and my iPod Touch. If your device has a front facing camera, like the iSight on my laptop, you can take pictures, and also screenshots of whatever the person who jacked it is doing. It also will tell you what WiFi network they are using, and where they are. And it's free!
I like the stock one. Htcsense.com

Has anyone noticed that the stock G2x comes with some LogMeIn packages(com.logmein.rescue and com.logmein.rescuesecurity) already installed? Anyone know what they are there for? I've yet to see anywhere that I could make use of them, which makes me wonder if they're there for LG or other companies to gain access for whatever reason.

Okay, so T-Mobile is including Logmein Rescue so they can access your machine for support. Personally, I backed it up and deleted it with Titanium Backup. No need for that crap. Everything is working fine.
The two apps are:
com.logmein.rescue 6.3.246
com.logmein.rescuesecurity 6.3.246
Thanks, I just froze them using titanium backup.

I removed them the first day I got the phone. Just use Root Explorer to delete them. I didn't like the sound of it either.
There is a thread about which apps you can delete, like the Tmobile crap, EA Store, games, etc. I posted what the app name was compared to the store and what I deleted without any recourse.
I removed a dozen probably.
I've had my phone for almost 2 weeks now.
First Android and touchscreen phone ever owned.
I have a few questions:
1) How do I clear only certain calls from my call history? I only see the option to clear all call history. On my old phone (Nokia N82) I was able to erase only certain calls made (for example, the last number dialed).
2) How do I lock my screen? Right now it autolocks on its own after a certain period of time. I want to lock it own my own like I could do on all my old phones.
3) What is the best FREE forum posting app out there?
Also, I tried to root my phone last weekend, but something went wrong and for a second I thought I had bricked my phone.
Thankfully, everything is okay but I do not plan to try it again for obvious reasons.

Can you also recommend a good FREE forum posting app?
I know there's Tapatalk, but it's not free.
1)when you go in to your call history just long press the number you want to delete and choose delete form call history
2) One suggestion is go to settings>security and change the lock time to immediate
Hope this helps
Rooting can be a scary thing but i just recommend reading up as much as you can, until you feel comfortable again. then try the Ace hack Kit. it what what i used and it was super simple.

Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.
Data works great on this phone, except for the fact that several times a day, maybe once every 2 hours, the data connection simply stops working. I can get it back by putting the phone into airplane mode, and then back again, but nothing else works.
If I try to go to a web page when the data is out, I get redirected to some web2go thing telling me I should buy some plan.
In my Mobile Network Settings I have the "Enable always-on mobile data" but don't see anything else that might help fix this.
Anybody have any ideas of what is going on, or better yet how to fix it?
I don't have the answer to your actual question.
However, if you don't want the Web2Go page you can change the User Agent on your browser from Android to Desktop.

I occasionally have the same issue, though mine only seems to do it on the transition from wifi to cellular. Sometimes toggling airplane works, sometimes not. Mine has always done that even stock. Oh, and it still does it even on your rom, undeadk9.
One other issue i've noticed is the wifi calling icon will randomly disappear and come back in about 20 seconds. I've only noticed this on SOC3.6, I don't know if 3.5 had this issue as I was testing virtuous when that was the latest. It hasn't caused any issues like dropped calls yet, but just a concern that it may.

I didn't! I'm behind in the forums and I'm on an old version of your ROM. I'll go look for that and get myself updated to the latest.
Well, it turns out that didn't help. I installed v3.5.0 and v3.6.0 patch and then turned on the data and waited...
An hour or so later it happened again
If I go to the browser on the phone it redirects me to a page that says:

Well someone needs to hurry up and release the source already. Anyone wanna start a donation thread to encourage progress?
Yep..... t-mobile was the problem. Once I got through their first line of support and they opened "something that we call a trouble ticket", things got fixed up nice.
You know if we could nandroid backup our life, do a dalvik-cache wipe, battery stats wipe, we'd be set, except who would do the nandroid restore?
I can not find the app I want. Is there a way to lock out everything except contacts and phone calls? Or a way one of the ROMS can be made to do this. I only use cell phones, no landline. I do not want kids playing/texting when not allowed.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I don't think that's possible. I could be wrong though.
There is. Just get them a dumb phone. But there is nothing that will work 100% as a simple reset will remove anything you do. No apps have been made to make a smartphone not use anything. Well I guess you could get an app locker and then set up a password for each and every single app on the phone and that would make it so a password had to be entered every time the app was used. Other then that yeah get them a normal phone and call it good. To be honest that's what I did. Kids have no need for a smartphone and are not mature enough to only use it when they are supposed to. The temptation is to great to show it off to freinds and what not.
That's what I thought. I was just trying to utilize what I have.

Well you could kill the data by messing up the apns or get an app that will kill the apns at the right times. But nothing that will stop the apps from loading. I know how you feel though. Gave my boys my old tilt2 and fuse and after a few calls from school decided it had to go lol
