T-Mobile Tech Assist App

Have you guys noticed this great new feature?
It allows T-Mobile customer Support to gain entry to your device with a "per call specific code" that the agent creates when you call and is changed every time you call back in and is good for one use only.
Only when you enter the code can the agent then gain access to your HTC device during trouble shooting and make the needed changes to the device, software etc.

This was created for user who mostly are not tech savvy and to allow tech support to better validate issues by being able to see your actual screen and see what you are talking about issue wise.
There is also a new option when you dial 611 with an automated voice response that comes through the loud speaker and offers you help and shows you what you can do from your device w/o calling Customer Care but if need be you can decline and you will be thrown into the call center instantly. Check the vid below.

Do the European versions have anything similar to this?
Has anyone here actually gotten to use the Tech Assist application yet? How was your experience?

i have t-mobile, but I see this the first time.
Is this really necessary?

I personally think so...They give you an option...It makes everything easier when trying to convince someone over the phone that you have an issue but you can't really explain it. and some people can't follow hard reset directions well or do anything honestly...So i think it has its place.

I did see that but the reps I spoke with was aware I was pretty well versed in phone tech so they didn't need to do this "pc anywhere" like application. LOL this is the type of app that I have for work as well when they need to install apps or troubleshoot real quick.
I think its worth it to have this. Our phones have come a long way since the star tac days so I do like the app. I may never use it (*knocks on wood*) but great to know its there.

I really wish they kept in an option to disable that program when you call 611 like there is on the HD2

actually...if i'm not mistaking, it IS LogMeIn. A program called "LogMeIn Rescue."
Remember this being on my Vibrant too (as an application in the drawer.

Yep, buried in the settings you can disable it.

ok cool. Never knew that.
But to the other guys..It is Logmein...I saw the process in the sense task killer.

I never bothered to update MyAccount before and I just ran into this app on my replacement unit after it installed automatically with everything else. Go to call 611 and it's hijacked by tech assist. No problem. Select the option to call customer service and the call goes to some other 5 or 6 digit number and ends with a not in service message. Can't see any option to disable the intercept. Every time I try it ends the same way. Uninstalled the update and calling 611 works fine. Customer Support rep said he heard of it happening with someone else.
If I was going to be keeping this second phone I'd wipe myaccount off the device entirely.

[Q] Spam since rooting evo 4g

I rooted my Evo 4G for the first time last Sunday (8/28/11) and installed Wireless Tether, Root Check, Quick Boot, and ROM Manager.
Ever since then, I've been getting ads in my notification bar. They show up with a green + icon and when I tap it, it opens the browser and goes to some website or to an app in the market.
Any idea where these are coming from, or which of those 4 apps I installed is causing this?
Thanks

Take a screenshot, and post it here. I think I know what it's for.

I'll try to catch it next time it comes up. It's already cleared from my notification area and I don't know if there a notification history anywhere.
The last one I got took me to the android market for an app to watch TV on a droid X. The notification said something like "Watch TV! Watch TV! (opt out at http: //xa....
couldn't see the rest of it since there's no word wrap in the notificiations.

Could be caused by another app you have installed already, and what ROM are you using?

Stock ROM with Superuser installed. I've been getting them every day since Sunday. I have gotten updates to existing apps around that time, so one of them could have added it. Any way to figure out which one it is rather than uninstalling them one at a time?

There's a app to monitor data, but otherwise I would check recently installed apps.

Found it.. it was "SPL Meter FREE" by Hashir N A. It's been renamed "ANDROID SPL METER" in the market.

Good, malicious app caught.

and others...
Gotta love xda. I googled for an hour for this issue. Searched xda and it was the 2nd item on the list.
I don't have that app installed but I started getting those type messages today.
How did you determine the app that caused it?

1. How do you find your phone when it is somewhere near you?
2. What you should do when you lost your phone?
3. How do you know your girlfriend location ?

Htc desire c Superb security program well worth the 5 stars

maybe next step we integrate it into Google class. Then you can say -
OK, glass, find my phone.

Doesn't work.

Google Now Help

Hey guys,
So I have this reoccurring problem on Google Now where it always thinks I am a few miles away from my house when I am actually at my house. I was wondering if there was a way to essentially "factory reset" Google Now? I want to open Google Now be able to set it up as if I was using it for the first time ever. Clearing the app cache doesn't work because it will just ask me to sign in using my email and then all my info is imported and my problem is still there. I know I have my correct address input because I have continuously gone through the set up process of that specific card to try and fix it.
Here's a screen shot to show what I am talking about.

Google Now tells me I am currently 8 minutes away from home, yet I am home! If I open the card to navigate GPS recognizes that I am in fact at home!! [emoji35]
Anyways any help to fix this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Wow can't believe I never though of that! Thanks, you're a genius!!

You might see what your location services settings are. If Google now only had access to your cell tower-based location, it might be off by a few miles. Whereas your navigation app probably has permission to use your GPS. This seems especially likely if your navigation app isn't Google maps which may point to a restriction of all Google apps to location data.
On an unrelated note, I would be hesitant to publicly display something as personally identifying as a map pinpointing my house. Maybe I'm just paranoid from one too many SAEDA briefs.

Welcome to One Caller!
WHAT IS THIS?
One Caller is an app that gives you the possibility to call any phone number in the world using Internet Wifi or Mobile Data.
WHY SHOULD I USE IT?
Now a days we have our family or friends all over the world. Calling their cell phone number or home phone might get a bit expensive. That's why One Caller provides a flat cheap rate to get minutes and talk to your loved ones.
It's also perfect to prank a friend, make a private call, or talk about something secret on the phone.
REQUIREMENTS?
Internet connection
BENEFITS?
The app is designed to show as "Unknown" caller with no number or caller ID on the screen of the receiver. The calls are charged by minute and are extremely cheap!
EXACTLY HOW PRIVATE IS THE CALL?
The call is rerouted and is completely untraceable!
HOW TO USE?
Simply open the app, enter the phone number directly USING THE COUNTRY CODE, press the green call icon on the bottom left and you are dialing!
WHAT'S NEXT?
Please rate and comment with suggestions!
Enjoy!

Thank you for the typo error, fixing it right away
The difference of this caller is that it's a flat rate fee to call any country, any number. No hustle finding cheap callers because this is the cheapest of them all.
The system is secure and untraceable too.

Thanks for the support and interest in this project. We are currently working on the mobile phone's service and making it better. Also, we are adding the contacts picker, too.

Ok, so its a flat fee, but what is that fee? Is it a flat fee per minute or per month? How do we pay for it? I do not see any website where I can check this up.
