Make a movie server yourself. I run mine off my netbook.

Google voice JB

I have a weird issue with Google voice and just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. I had Google voice installed before the JB update and then after the update the app is still installed as a system app but it's not in the app drawer.
I'm a Canadian user. Could it be that it's being blocked cause of carrier, it didn't use to?
Also the version of Google voice on my phone is a newer version than in the market.

I think I had this happen with a different app and fixed it in ROM manager with a "Fix Permissions". It's worth a shot.

Permission is rw-r-r
For the sports to work you have to go to dashboard and enable web history and then search for your tram. Eg. Scores for xx then it will add your tram

Almost all antivirus companies have device tracking enabled through web.if you configured and recalled the data.you can track the location of phone and can remote swipe/sms and many more.I have tested that using kaspersky and NOD32 and webroot.this is the only chance to track else after stolen people throw away SIM,format the phone or change the IMEI so impossible to track back.
I'm using avast! (Free) It has quite an extensive lost/stolen system built into it aswell as all the antivirus stuff. One thing I like about avast! (Not sure who else has this) it has a setting called 'Geo fencing'. Once set, if your phone leaves a, user set, distance from your current point, it automatically locks your phone and triggers any other protection activities, and sends a SMS to a pre-set cell number. Good for night clubs or busy shopping malls incase you get pick pocketed.

Avast! is pretty good when it comes to tracking.
Thanks for suggestions. Don't necessarily wanna install an anti virus on the phone.. Find they slow it down ( I know some people may disagree, but that's not the topic)

Android now has a built in phone locator which can be activated in Settings > Security > Device administrators. Check Android Device Manager.
Uses Google's push service so it doesnt poll battery.

In addition, I use AndroidLost from Play Store. Runs through Google servers so no background usage. Has an advanced plethora of controls on the web interface. Check it out.
Google Device Manager
I have enjoyed using Google Device Manager. It has the ability to ring my phone for 5 mintues so I can find it easier. As well as the ability to locate it. Although like everything else depends on data connection. So if I lost in a park with a dead battery... NO DICE.

AndroidLost supports SMS controls. You could send an SMS message to activate GPS and auto reply the location, or you could send a message to enable WiFi/data and track that way.

agreed, i use android device manager. used to use the samsung version, but now that google offers it then i'll use that one.
I used to use Avast, but now I can just use Google's Device Manager or even CyanogenMod's which is crude for now.
Device manager seems to work well. It allows you to locate the device from another browser using Google maps, allows yo to ring the phone even if it's on vibrate or silent and once set up allows you too lock/erase all data from it.

cerberus is the best option for little money ( 3 € ) can have about 5 devices, and allows for many things, what I'm wearing and not disappointed.
Check out "Wheres my droid" from the play store. It is full of great features. Can set up triggers from text or phone numbers to make it ring. You can get is location from sending a specific text to your phone. You can lock it down,take a pic and even wipe it clean. Great app

Actually, this is a really important point. Which of these apps are still able to perform their advertized functions after it is being lost? Supposedly, whoever is in possession of the phone will through out SIM card and do a factory reset so all apps that use google services will not work anymore as they are Signed out... Are apps from antivirus suites immune to this?

Phone gets restarted whenever i open googke chrome in 4.2.2 update.. What to do?

In my case i was caused by Location service, when you first time enter google.com website it asked you if you want to share you localization with this page, you must sad yes.
You should open chrome and quickly close all tabs, then go to options->web site preferences and untick share your location with google.com site.
It worked for me.
I've done what you had suggested..

Play <playlist name> using Google now?

In one of the recent Google videos from Google i/O they show a guy saying, 'OK Google now', 'play game day playlist'. I tried it on my phone (with one of the playlists I have) but it didn't work, is this only a U.S. feature (because I'm in Canada).
Can somebody in the U. S. Try this?!
