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.

my phone is somewhere here at home but i just can't find it. i want to install an app that lets me ring it remotely but the wifi is turned off so i was wondering if there is any way to turn on the wifi using my google account or something. is that possible? it's an xperia z if that even matters.
Hi,
I doubt that will be possible. Even if you could get an app remotely installed, You'd likely need to open it and set it up on your device before you could use it.
I'd say asking in the general forums will get you more attention than the Xperia Z section, and this isn't really device specific, so asking here would be best...

Got this tablet as a random gift and just want to use it on my desk to use for youtube, facebook, twitch stuff like that

Also does anyone know of accessories to make a tablet more desk friendly like stands?

It's a lock screen, I don't know the name of it (obviously), and from what I remember of it it's pretty cool. It features like, a hidden unlock method, something in background that you interacted with and it unlocked your phone. I dunno, I don't remember much, and it's not like the world will end if I don't find it. Heck, it might not even exist and I've somehow remembered something that doesn't exist, or maybe it's not available anymore. But anyway, if you do know what it is any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

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.

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.
