My stolen phone(HTC desire) how to recover

hello to all genius
My phone HTC desire was stolen month ago and today i noticed from play.google.com that this phone is ON and being used and i am able to install any app. So my question is ,, Is there any way that i can install a app from play.google.com and i can see his location or phone number?
Please help me i m sure you guys definitely have answer for that case.
thanks

I believe Lookout Security app has a location feature. Im not positive on that though. The problem is that even if you got the app to install, you would need to set the software up, which you can't do because you physically need the phone. Hmmmm.

Maybe a useful topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642444

There is an app which you install (from play store) as long as your phone is not wiped, and it will start feeding location. I'm afraid I can't remember what's it called, but some googling should help you find it.
Edit. App is called Plan B.

Call your carrier and maybe the police
.215 radio - SimplexROM 1.2 - Daily Driver - XT912 - Wigdetsoid - Linux Installer - Otter Box - Safestrap

I have used the App called Plan B, and it works. But after you get the info you need I would call your carrier, They should blacklist the ESN so the dirtbag who took your phone can't use it.

Really sorry to hear your phone got stolen but as so many users said, there are many apps that can solve your issue. But you should contact the police if you have his number. What phone will be its replacement?

Blackberrys have a pathetic block feature that you could use to stop low IQ burglars from using your phone. But please take your BB and

Use this to Change Carrier Bloatware on S4

Hi all
I do remember that now Samsung have all carrier's bloatware installed on phone.
user can change carrier bloatware files on the phone by dial certain codes.
for example, I can type some code to change a ATT phone to us cell, or Rogers to Bell.
but I can't find any infor on this. Any one can give me a key word hint or a link ? THX

found answer myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34524458&postcount=24

So has anyone tried the dialer code *#272*IMEI# on their AT&T S4 to see if it works. And if it works, could someone please post a screen shot of the results here? I would try it, but I don't have one (...yet). Of course you take the risk if it blows your phone up.

I did
I change i337m from Bell to Fido, then from Fido to bell again
I confirm this works

Could you get a screenshot of the *#272*IMEI# menu screen and post it here? I would like to see what other carrier options are available with the i337m? And, could someone do the same with the AT&T i337 version?
Thanks.

this is how it looks

"Slot has been permanently blocked"

I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.

If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.

SM-G930U Unlocked USA model keeps restarting after cell activation.

My new SM-G930U keeps activation its self with the carrier (Sprint) and then says it needs to restart, over and over again. I disabled the Sprint apps that got installed probably used to activate cell service and the phone is fine.
I want to know if this is a know Samsung issue or something. I was no able to move my data and my way through Samsung process it restarts. I had to remove Sim card to allow it to restore my data first then add the sim card after I disabled Sprint apps.
Has anyone had this issue?

Sprint apps got installed by who? The whole idea of this phone is to keep that crap off.

Are you sure you have the G930U. There shouldn't be any sprint apps on that pre loaded unless you downloaded them.

Any tips for getting the G930U to activate on Sprint's network? Bought new G930U's for my wife and I, took them to Sprint to get activated yesterday, her's got going just fine, but they spent three hours trying to get mine going to no avail. They tried the North American and International SIM cards on my device, but couldn't get it to connect to Sprint's network. I haven't tried any Sprint apps yet. Thanks.

That is the apps, there really just self activation apps not "Sprint apps"
Any how I had to disable them or every 2 minutes the phone was self activated on the network and auto restart to apply changes...
Maybe Samsung will fix issue or its with my Sprint reseller MVNO company that has the issue. I use a free cell line from RingPlus.

No

Seems like you got robbed, whatever carrier sold you that phone decided that you have no right to control your device.
Never post your IMEI around.

I forgot to cover it before posting. But, yeah, that's Vodafone. They unlocked the device, told me this would change the bootloader allowed. But, no luck as of yet.
I was told I should try software repair via Xperia companion to see if it changes it.
Gonna try that at some point.

That will not change anything,
There is no way to change it unless you are in possession of the signed keys from sony.

If you are employed by Sony in their developer section and you work your way up to the top, then maybe you will have access to them. By that point you will know how to use them.
If you are not employed by Sony and work in their development section, then no, there is no way to get them.
Please be assured. If your bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THIS.
