[Q] Lost my phone - General Questions and Answers

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...

oh its not good at all. you should change your all passwords as soon as possible, and the next step is to inform your nearest police station about this lost.

[Q] question about push data

i have been looking all over this phone, and i can't find out how to set how frequently the g2x looks for new notifications (from apps like facebook).
i am very new with android and any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance!
It's up to the developer to add push data to their app. I don't know of many apps that support push besides, the google apps, whatsapp, and kik.
i'm not talking about push data i guess. how do i set how often my g2x looks for data from apps like facebook and words with friends. i want it to look maybe once every 4 or 5 hours, so i can save battery
thanks
In every case I've seen so far that is set in each app, facebook, twitter, weather etc.
Is it not in Settings->Account Sync?.. (taking a shot at an obvious suggestion here).

So I guess it was not wrong to suggest the obvious, lol. Not even trying to put myself on a pedestal here but its just kind of gratifying that I came to the conclusion myself (even if it was so simple), lol.

New Note 10.1 . FCs a lot

Just got my Note today. Whenever I am using the browser I keep getting a message saying something along the lines of Unfortunately Google.com.android gapps has stopped working.
This is a brand new Note running stick firmware.

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, I'd exchange it. Why screw with something brand new?
Yea, what the guy above me said. I've had my note for a month and never once seen what you describe. Definitely exchange if factory reset doesn't sort it out
I agree with the two previous posters. Ive had the note since August as well and I having had any issues.

Did a Google search which maybe I should have done first . It seems to have been caused by syncing Internet on my Google account. Unticked the option, cleared data and all is well .

Quick question: what is internet sync?

I believe he meant account syncing, so if you have an app that needs data from your account, it can access it within an interval (certain time) e.g. Google Mail, when you get an email it'll give you a notification telling you that you have one.

[Q] How to bypass My Mobile Watchdog

Ok so i have this really annoying app on my phone called My Mobile Watchdog. It sends all of my texts and phonecalls to my parents (even though im 18 and pay for my own phone). I was wondering if there was a way to get past this app, like use blocked apps and send texts without them getting it?

Maybe your best solution would be a chat with your parents, they are being unfair. Unless youre a really difficult kid, this seems too much

Freedom comes with restrictions. If you restart your android device in "safe mode" as I am doing know, the restricting applocation will be disable, but so will all other 3rd party apps. However this way, you texts will remain private. Amd all restricitons bypassed.

[APP REQUEST] Motorola Assist Modification

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.
I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.
Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Like being able to say.. "okay Google now. Turn on moto assist"

Jeez, this is quite a shock coming from the Galaxy Nexus. I didn't realize developers for this phone would be so sparse.

No kidding. :|
I'll see if I can get around to decompiling the APK today and poke around. Hopefully I can bypass the driving check at worst and just have it always on, or always off.

Look at these weird permissions assist has maybe we just need an app with these permissions

EDIT
New finding in SmartActionsHanashi.apk ... there's a service com.motorola.hanashi.CommunicationMediatorService (my guess on which service it is) and I think (I dont do much reverse engineering) we just need an app to activate the service after we edit the SmartActionsHanashi.apk to make the service exported (it is false ATM)...
I would try it myself but with no root I cant reinstall the SmartActionsHanashi.apk
Edit like 4
SmartActionsHanashi.apk also has all of the right resources. so i am 90% sure that this is the apk we are looking for.
If anyone would like to try my idea PM me, you WILL need root.

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.
I'm sure the Moto X community will pick up in the next few months but that being said i'll probably get a Nexus 5 to satisfy my urges.

New development assist app uses new modified smart actions app and there are rules in here that correspond to assist actions but using the ones they have all I can do is confuse the phone..... There are also strange actions that don't do anything except if in the driving sleeping meeting actions ....in the pictures I'm sitting at my desk but in the status bar you can see I'm "driving" but no texts are read and music didn't start either....
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Edit the command i got to open the assist engine is
adb shell
su? idk i just used it
[email protected]:/ # am start com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2/.app.AboutActivity
AOV is Touchless Controls
I believe LED is Active Notification
use with caution i probably messed up my assist just now
Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will. I'm surprised that such a useful feature is limited to only driving when there are so many situations where it would be useful. Being able to do this without needing root access would be ideal.
This would be very useful and definitely be awesome for a work environment.
I am going to try and do it again. I have some new ideas on how to do it!
Will post in here and make a new thread if profit is achieved :fingers-crossed:
I would defiantly donate $10 for this.

exchange email issue

Just recently got myself an N5 from an iP4s, all is going smoothly apart from exchange.
On the first sync after putting in all the log in details into the stock mail app for GoDaddy's server, it puts up a notification saying that it needs access to a lot of different things like PIN, auto delete, etc etc, if I decline, it won't sync, just wondered if this was normal, never had anything like on the iP4s, not that I'm saying thats a bad thing!
appreciate its not a N5 specific issue but anything help would be gratefully received
That's a normal issue, my work exchange email requires similar admin. privileges. I have to accept in order for it to sync.

Yep normal. Unlike iPhones, exchange admins can force PIN security on users. I like that
