[Completed] [Q] Contacts went missing - XDA Assist

I have a weird problem, I did a search and finally decided to open a thread here because nothing could help me out of this trouble. My father owns a Galaxy Core mobile and he is really new to android OS. He was trying to save a contact which he received through message from some one else and while saving that contact he played with some options (I guess Gmail Sync) and now many of old contacts have gone missing. I checked the "Contact to display" is set to all and still those contacts are missing. I rooted the phone and tried to recover the contacts through few recovery applications but no help there too. Today I came across to Gmail sync last date & time and that's exactly the same date & time when my father was trying to save that contact. Right now I am getting an error at the bottom of that screen "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly." Can someone please help me because my father has lost more than 100 contacts and really needs them back. Thanks in advance

[Completed] Message Alert (HELP PLEASE)

Hey all,
One of my friend knows this technique of sending a message type of notification. The message comes, displayed on my home screen . It doesn't say who it came from or anything. My friend is not telling me how he's doing this. I don't know if its an app or what. I will post a pic (a screenshot i took) of how it exactly looks. It works with iPhone and even android, He's using a iPhone though .

Hi,
I'm not sure if the info in this thread can help at all, it's in the HTC one X section. It seems viber doesn't Play well with some custom roms on some devices.
> HTC One X > One X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] viber and mobile voip problems
Other than that, I'd say contacting Viber support, if they have that, would be a good idea. Also, it could be another app that uses the microphone conflicting with viber.
If you have a backup of the older Viber, you could go back to it.
Lastly, you could ask here, since it may not be a device specific issue... But you will need to register on XDA to post here,

[Completed] Stolen phone

Hello,
I've had 4 phones stolen from my store during a break-in and one of them is still configured with our account, so I can install software through the Play Store.
I also have the Life360 locator activated.
But even with these features the police can't seem to find reason to look into it.
Is there a way for me to install any software/app that can either record conversations or take/upload pictures from the people who stole it?
I'd like to recover the phones, especially since my insurance won't pay for them.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
You can try something from this thread:
When you lost you phone , how to find it back even you do not install Find My Phone ?

[Completed] Verizon lg lucid 3 vsv876 Rom help

I have a lucid 3 that was a gift to me from an old friend. I'd live fully customize it but there is close to no development done for this phone.
To manage things worse there's an issue with the current software. I baby sign in to my Google account from the built applications wizard. I can't get on the store or use any of the built in Google apps note the apps that rely on a Google account being attached to the phone. It says that the connection is unsecured, unreliable, or non existant.
I really need a full stock recovery to begin with. This issue began after a master reset abd ding a second one produced no changes at all.
And any custom Rom that is functional would be amazing. I love this phone and i'd love to really are what it's capable of doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Completed] Bluetooth hacking for android

Hi, I recently paired my samsung galaxy note 5 bluetooth with a stranger, who wants me to transfer a video i was taking for an event. I paired and transferred the video over to him but I cancelled it mid-way coz the file was over 700MB in size. The whole process probably took about half to 1 minute. My concern here is whether within that short period of time, was there any possibility that my phone would have been compromised, hacked and my personal data taken ? Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It's conceivable. BlueJacking, BlueSnarfing, and BlueBugging exists. And personal info is rather small. Not to freak you out, in that time it's possible for the other device to download your encrypted passwords top be cracked at a later point.
Probable is a different question. Depends partly on how much you trust this stranger. Personally, I would be looking to change my passwords just in case.

Hi Jim, thanks for the info and pointing out to me the right threads to go to. I will post my questions in the relevant threads. I have also registered myself an XDA account.
On your comments on resetting the passwords, I think I will do it. Though it will be quite a big exercise. But better to be safe than sorry. Anyways, curious to know, besides my encrypted password,s what are the other data that someone might be able to retrieve via bluetooth within that short period of time?
Cheers,
Raymond

I'm no expert on security; what else comes to mind is IMEI and cell phone number, maybe even address book. Unlike the password things, there really isn't any control over mitigating that.
Hopefully your encounter was on the up-and-up.
