today my explorer got stolen:crying::crying: and i had logged in from my xda account on the xda app as well as my fb account on the facebook and messenger app. I have changed the passwords but still I am worried if the thief can view my private stuff. I know i should not post it here but i have googled a lot and could not get an answer. If someone here could tell me anything helpful, i would be very grateful

See what you have done uptill now is totally fine. If the person was to use the internet to get your password . There's nothing more you can do about it apart from changing your password. I suggest you get one of the following apps from the playstore ( considering you have g-apps on your phone and you are logged into it ) ASAP : Wheres my Droid ? or Prey.
Lost my android.. or Lost droid
If he were to use the internet to access your accounts, then you can make him force download these and track your device. That may help you to track your phone.
You should also consider cancelling your SIM card ( or cancelling your phone service ) asap, or alternatively you can track your phone using your SIM card if you provider assists you with that . You can get all the details about your IMEI etc on your phone purchased box.
All the best in recovering your phone / stopping someone from misusing it ! :good:
I have changed the password of my gmail account so i dont think its possible to use wheres my droid or prey and thanx btw for your reply, relieved me from a lot of worries..
Gmail changed now it'd over phone gone
You could have installed plan B from play store on it

Hi,
I buy my Captivate in the USA, with a friend that trip to Texas. I am from Chile!
I falling in love with my Captivate, just when I open the box and looked it!... but...
In a night work the 3th of march in my office, when just only 3 people plus me has in here, my Captivate was stolen, in my noise. It's Stolen!
I'm hope that the thief don't know how to wipe all the data in the cellphone, and connect to internet, then my gmail account sync with gmail, and I have the IP where he is!... but... not yet.
It's painfully for me! Is battery out, turned off obviously, sim retired and if is turned on, is not connected to internet.
Google don't provide a form to lock the device trough the Android Account, and I don't have other app for do it for me. I used Prey, but when update to Official Froyo, I Master Clear before with ODIN... I'm not sure if the IMEI of the phone change with this... just to communicate it to de mobile companies here, and backlist it.
I hope... that you can understand my pain...
Thanks guy!! And Thanks to all the Developers that create all thats rom so beautifulls!!!
I think that I'd be beating the crap out of those other 3 people until someone confessed to stealing it.
First off, log on to ur gmail from any web interface and change the password. This would atleast save u from the other user trying to see ur mails and accessing market for downloads.
IMEI number does not change. Pass it to ur mobile providers and get it blacklisted.

Hello everybody,
My brother opened his facebook account in the web browser of my HTC Sensation. He did not sign out and his account is still open.
Is there any way of learning his saved password from somewhere in the phone? Maybe from a cookie or registry? I searched a lot but could not find any method for this. I need your help.
Thanks.
Why cant you just go to settings and allow cookies

I did not understand your solution. Can you explain?
What kind of person goes through extreme measures to try and figure out their brothers facebook password?

Any cookies will have encryption on them, so no, you're not going to get your Brother's password.
You have 2 options.
Delete all cookies, therefore deleting your Brother's login to his Facebook account and returning his privacy.
Frape the crap out of him and teach him never to log in and tick "remember me" unless he's happy for everyone else to use the same account.
Personally, I'd go for number 1, but that's just because I'm not someone who takes pleasure in other people's discomfort.
Hello
I'm using LG Optimus Black 4.0.4 - stock rom, rooted.
I want to transfer my company email account from default email application to K-9 email app. But i dont remember the password. Is there any location that we can see the password? I've found wi-fi passwords as plain text. I hope I can read email password too.

Why not reset the password (or click on 'Forgot Password')?
That way you can create a new password, and log in using that. :good:

Of course I understood you mate. You want to use K-9 email app to manage your company email account, right? But you don't remember it's password. So, the easiest way is to reset the password and set a new one. Then you can enter the new one in the K-9 app and login! Simple. :good:

XDA gets very suspicious when someone new signs up to the forum and their first question is about something that could easily be used to obtain hidden information that you shouldn't do.
How do we know that you are not trying to access someone else's email password without their permission?
If this is, truly, for your own work email then just ask the IT department to reset your password - but it is highly doubtful you have really forgotten your work password and sounds dodgy.
I had a similar problem as well. My email password could not be changed, there was no way to recover the password through the provider, and the workaround would have been to wait a few months for the account to be deleted and then reregister. Thankfully, I found the solution with a little googling.
Browse to /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases and copy EmailProvider.db to your computer. Other phones might have their database in a different location. Download and install Sqlite Database Browser from sourceforge.net if you haven't, and then skip down to the sqlitebrowser instructions here:
http://ubuntu42.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-recover-mail-password.html
Decrypt the password
On samsung phones, the passwords in /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db are encrypted. You will need to use the 'samsung-password' decryption tool: lovasoa.github.io/samsung-email-password-decrypt/

O STF up do you know how many emails i have? No But i'll tell you 2 personal 3 for work a spam and 2 for shopping not everyone likes using one or two emails for 700 things. you know how hard it can be at times to remember passwords... tell me haven't forgotten a password and wish you could just recover it without having to fight to reset it. sometimes it's not as simple as yahoo where you don't even have to be the owner of the ****ing email to to reset it. Not only that but again he has it on his old phone trying to put it on his new phone or switch apps to something simpler... i'm with him i have about 4 phones with emails on them i don't even remember making... so NO actually he sounds like a legit worker that is tyring not to a piss off the I.T. guys by giving them more **** tastic jobs that we just loving doing. because it's not like we don't have More pressing matters to attended to like fixing your printer that people like to over cram so they have to refill it less often. or constantly keeping you in work by repairing your computers that crash on you well you are doing graphs and slide shows. we would love to stop all that to reset your password you should have put in a secure place to begin with.

SOLVED
Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Hope to hear some suggestions, guidance etc :cyclops:
Thank you very much
Have you got a security app like LBE or XPrivacy.
I think permissions to sync contacts and these apps are blocked if u can see only numbers
Thank you for the reply, no I don't use any privacy app even after closing Avg anti virus and the task killer, nothing works. And I don't see any contacts, when someone msges me I see the number even if I have them in my phone book. And if I add them manually to the contacts it won't update I just see their number. Even after fresh rom install I do not see the contacts, and reinstalling apps is not helping. Or wiping cache+dalvik. I don't know what the problem could be.

Yes I have an Google account that is synced with my device, everything is working fine. Except that apps like whatsapp, viber etc can't get to my contacts list.

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist, I will help you with that.
Sometimes when you allow some websites to access your Facebook profile they can control most of your activity and do actions for you.
So maybe someone got your account information and password, which I don´t believe. Or maybe the website you allowed to access your account is just giving like to all the websites where it is connected.
If you want to take control about what websites you have given access and regret the access to them you need to go on your laptop or PC, login on your facebook account, then log into Settings and then on Applications. There you´ll see a list of all websites you gave access. I would recommend you to deny the access to all of them and delete all of them.
Wish I helped and waiting your reply
