Hello,
Simple question...
not wifi will not send imei info
but in teory the mac address is also enuiq
Thanks for the reply...
I just got told from a custmer service person that if the IMEI number is blocked it will also stop it from even been turned onto its factory 'pda' mode to access details without a sim card!??
This phone is a Jasjam.
Can you make an emergency call without a SIM card? if so, chances are the IMEI is sent over while connected for emergency call. Howeve, I would guess that may probably on the other side of the network where not much attention is paid there.
I don't believe customer services on technical questions like.. 70% of the time. Some of they are just crap. From what I can think of, if your IMEI is blocked, you can still use the PDA as a PDA. There is a case here.. one of the thread.. where a guy found (as it lost by someone) a phone on block IMEI.. then used is as PDA (he cheekily ask if he can change his IMEI). Probably he got your phone?
Hello, my sister lost her phone. Is there a way to recover it ?
The gps was off when the phone was lost.
In India there Is a way to to find a lost phone which is switched on and has a Sim card inserted then we can contact Sim provider to get the location of phone
Try this if possible as quickly as possible as if the phone gets discharged there is no other way
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda app-developers app
I did try, the carrier is Vodafone and i was told that they can only block the sim card from being used. So no luck there.
Thanks.
Wished you had Where's my droid app. It switches the gps manually when we send the command through SMS. Or did you turned mobile tracker?
Since our phone has a gps, there should be some app in that phone which can track, possible a anti virus like Lookout?
Unfortunately she didn't have any apps like that. What is mobile tracker ?
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

Hi. I bought a used Galaxy S4 online from Cellular Country. The phone was freezing so Cellular Country walked me through a factory reset which triggered an already enabled Reactivation Lock. I have no access to original owner credentials so right now the phone is useless, and Cellular Country refuses to help in any way. I have filed a credit card dispute with my credit card Capital One. Samsung has already written that the phone can not be activated without original owner credentials, but Capital One wants a written second opinion to go back to the seller. Is there someone on this forum that could write me a simple letter on letterhead to this effect "A phone with a Reactivation Lock can not be activated without providing original owner credentials. Cellular Country (the seller of this phone) must provide Carol Phelps (the buyer of this phone) with the original owner credentials (user name and password) to override any Reactivation Lock to render the phone operational. Without this information, the phone is useless". Samsung has already stated this in writing after I sent them the phone, but Capital One needs a second opinion letter. I can pay a nominal fee for your trouble. My e-mail is szizlin3 and the carrier is aol.
