Lost Phone: need to remotely install app to find - Android Apps and Games

I lost my phone last night and need to remotely install an app to find it. I tried Plan B but it isn't sending me my location so I assume it isn't installing properly (or working properly). Are there any similar app I can try?
(FYI my phone is still one b/c we call it and it rings the normal amount before going to voicemail)
If it's relevant, I'm running Wizard's MIUI on my Droid X from Verizon.

You can try install it via play store on your pc ( log in with gmail) if the mobile is connected with the internet it should install

[Q] Can not Download apps in Market.

I have recently rooted and installed Android Revolution on my wife's inspire.
However I just realized that i am unable to download from the market any apps. All I get is 2 secs of the downloading arrow before it disappears and i am prompted to
download again. I have tried clearing data in the market app and rebooting to no avail. Internet works as does browsing the market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Trev
Edit, tried over wifi, tried an older version of the market app and still no luck.
Re-install the Rom, ensuring you clear the Delvik and wipe everything before install.
I'll give it a try.

Once done. if the issue continues;
1. Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to use market? When you turn the phone off and on? Anytime?
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

No error messages, power cycling the phone has not helped.
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
since flashing I'm not sure if it has worked. I am logged in, and can see apps under my apps. Anything I have attempted to dl is listed there, but is not listed as installed.

Hve you checked your APN settings? Ensure that they are correct. Do A Search and you will find them.
Try and wipe the cache.

Flashing the rom was supposed to be the first thing you did.
Reflashed, it works

Have you tried the 1 APN trick? I know when I was on CM7, it said I had a connection but half the time that wasn't the case.
Try with Wifi on maybe? Probably obvious but, make sure background data is on. lol
If it isn't green it wont talk to Google, if you look in my other reply in topic cm7 issues, I posted my apn

Make sure to install the Google Apps as well if you haven't already, mainly market and Gmail. Not having Gmail installed on my phone caused slight problems for my account setup in CM7 - at least, that's what I infer, and I wish I could remember exactly what I encountered when this happened. I flashed the gapps and all went smoothly afterwards.
OH...
i'm sorry...I'm not install the google apps
but i get the google apps is Zip.file...
how to install it!?

[Help] Can not install apps on the Play store.

Hi everyone, my setup as the signature below. This is the first time I got this kind of error.
I can choose an app to download, then it will be downloaded like normal. However when it reached 100%, it stucked at that forever but did not do the installing step.
I tried to clear the market cache, data and even remove the google account then readd. But it still did not work.
Could someone please guide me on this. Thanks very much!
EDIT 1: today I cannot download any apps. It got stuck at the very first step. I did not download any more?!
EDIT 2: I just switched to mobile network and I could download any apps that I want. After that, I connected to wifi network to see whether the issue was solved or not. Unfortunately, I still could not download any apps through wifi
EDIT 3: The last observation from this issue. I use my laptop as a hotspot and so my phone can download any apps normally in the Play store.
To sum up, this bug only occurs with the direct wireless network connection.

Try and unsync your gmail account and then resync. Do you have enough room for the app to be installed? Make sure you have enough room.

Thanks mate. I already cleared cache, data of the play store, then I removed the google account and readded it. I rebooted the phone, but the issue was still there.
P/s: what the weird error! I just switched to mobile network and it worked. So....?
Do you have enough room on the device for the application to be installed? What is your free memory? How much left? This could be causing the issue? Perhaps.

is the viper rom zip md5 matched when you flashed it ?
may be the rom got corrupted or rather the google play store
try installing another play store app
like this (install it from the sdcard)

Were you trying to download the app over wifi? I have also had that problem over wifi but it comes and goes and i haven't had it in quite a while. Glad it works over mobile network. Try it again over wifi later and it may work.

[Q] Why can I receive but not send files using Wi-Fi Direct?

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (not rooted) and I can receive files via WiFi Direct on my One X, but I can't seem to connect and send files from my One X. I've tried using Superbeam/Wifi Shoot and neither one will work. When I use Superbeam it try's to enable my phone as a hotspot and fails because I don't have the correct data plan to enable my phone as a hotspot. Because of this my phone freaks out and then reboots itself. With Wifi Shoot, the connection just seems to fail. I stock rooted my phone using Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit, I'm running Android version 4.0.4. Any ideas as to why I can't send files?

Lollipop update issues

I updated to lollipop recently and some of the google apps stopped working - they couldn't connect to Google.
So after a while I don't know where I read this, I tried clearing the data on my play services app and the framework. After that I removed my account and added it again. Only this time, ALL of my google apps stopped connecting (play store, hangouts, google now, contacts etc.)
I'm signed into my account but nothing seems to be working. The rest of my apps are completely normal.
If anyone can help me about this I'd highly appreciate it. Thank you
Edit: I used the OTA update. I tried using a different version of the play services app but that also didn't help.

May try reflashing factory image and start from beginning.
Else try flashing system.IMG to see if it fixes the problem.
Make necessary backup before u try any options

Yes, don`t erase and flash userdata.img. Flashing system.img will not wipe the device.
Okay this is weird... Everything started syncing again when I started using the WiFi. But as soon as I get back to mobile data, I get the sync error again

Did you pay your data plan this month? While just connected to mobile data, can you open google dot com on a browser?
a maguro wrote this.
Yes its paid for. Its a prepaid connection. Plus all sites and apps other than the google ones are connecting using mobile data

Easiest way would probably be to factory reset.
I can't be sure , but I do remember seeing a "only sync on wifi " setting somewhere . If any of the more knowledgeable guys could tell you where it is you might fix it without a reflash. Also , if your settings are backed up with google you might not solve anything ...
I've no camera and galleries. Done factory reset and used full google factory firmware
I never used to have this problem on KitKat don't know how that setting emerged in lollipop. I'm still hoping I can find a solution without a reflash.
