[Q] Very urgent, please help - lost phone - General Questions and Answers

I have quite a problem. My girlfriend lost her phone in the city and when we call it, it's dirrct voicemail. I wonder if there's a way to trace it? Any help/advice will be appreciated!

Sorry to hear this. It would be like a needle in a haystack. Have you installed an app like ceberus? You can also contact the carrier and see what they give in terms of ideas.

Try installing this remotely by logging into the gmail account and see if you can get it.

Phone calls from stock Galaxy Tab

If you want to make calls from your tab just go to the market and get NetTalk it is free and work great using both wifi and data for placing calls. Only downside is no inbound calls, hey but I am sure someone will build a workaround.

Well I know there can be a little delay sometime when talking but never unable to hear the other part. Try using the speaker phone option on your phone that may help. Not practicle but my help?

I can't find this app in the market, can post a link to it? Thx.
EDIT: found it in webmarket, but says its not compatible with galaxy tab....does anyone have a link to the apk file?
Groove IP and Google Voice, it works like a charm so far. I have my Tab rooted and can call normally, but I wanted wifi calling, without Skype. This app did the trick, it's actually pretty amazing. This should work on a wifi only tab as well.
The app is like $4 and worth it. I am still tweaking the call quality settings, but I am happy. You can find the Facebook page if you need to talk to the dev, and he/she seems pretty responsive.

[[Q]] Infuse 4g and Microcell

I have been using a Microcell since it was released by ATT. I have use 2 Blackberrys, 1 IPhone, 3 Androids and 1 Blackjack phone with it and have had zero issues.
We currently have 3 Androids using it..1 HTC Inspire, 1 Atrix4g and now my Infuse. We have no issues with any of the phones communicating except the Infuse.
The Infuse works fine as far as Voice calls go. Data and Text messages are a disaster however. About 20 times a day I send texts from home, where my microcell is. About half of them fail....so I resend and resend and resend...sometimes up to 10 times before the message gets sent. I am certain that there is some sort of issue between the Microcell and the Infuse 4g but I have no clue what it could be. I have tried every ROM, Kernel, and Modem I could find but all seem to have the same issues.
Has anyone else had this issue?
What other solutions would you try?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here calls are fine but texts messages are a nightmare sometimes takes 10 resends while girlfriends iPhone sends them no problem

The Microcells are very hit or miss depending on what device you are using. I have a client that has 2 Microcells and one of them we have had no problems with. The other one is replaced and still having issues connecting to it. ATT said that if there is even a hint of normal cell signal it won't connect to the MCell. I don't buy it but my experience with the MCells has been disappointing at best.

I dont know about texting, as i rarely use texting. but I do miss incoming calls. Out going is fine.
but when some one calls me, i dont receive any ring, but the caller listen a ring sound, and it looks like i am ignoring his calls.
If he leaves a voice message, i know that some one called, else its like no one called me.

Wifi texting?

I am in search of an app to text over wifi. At my sisters house I don't get good service and I have people to text...but everyone is all about the whatsapp messanger but I cannot for the life of me figure it out... they say they will send me a message to verify but I never get a message :/ I deleted it and reinstalled it but no luck so any other ideas? Or help with that?

Well I was hoping that I could still use my number so I don't confuse people with mismatched numbers :/
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I think you can use google and keep your number. I remember I set it up but didn't want to pay to use my original number or something like that. I can't remember.
Okay thanks man I shall take a look into that I'm trying anything anyone offers that whatsapp never sends me a confirmation text so it doesn't work:/

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.
I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.
Gosms is nice..
*Kingpin... get it?*
I use mysms. I can use it from the PC, tablet and phone, and it syncs the message throughout all my devices. Its also free from the market.
google voice does this... works great

[SPRINT] Can't send MMS

Posted in Networking as that seemed more appropriate, but I couldn't find a delete button, so if a mod could take care of this..
Thank you!
The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

Cricket is having similar issues and they roam on sprint. I wonder if sprint also uses cricket towers.

[Q] Lost my phone

Last night, I lost my phone while I was out partying. Im not that upset about the loss, since I was going to upgrade it to a Nexus 4 anyway. The only thing that worries me, is that if someone finds the phone, they have acces to all my Google services, Facebook, etc.
Is there a way to prevent that? A way to log me out on all devices?
Anything that can prevent people from accesing my private information. I had my Gmail, my drive files, etc. on the phone.
Im afraid my lockscreen was on "slide to unlock" aswell. So there is not much protection there.
I really hope you can help me out here. It was a Galaxy Nexus running Cyanogenmod.

If it was linked to a microsoft exchange account, you can make it do a remote wipe.
next time use avast antivirus with anti-theft, great app, you can lock your smartphone via remote...
