Been using Google voice (not religiously due to family not the most tech savvy). This morning, I wake up, and I find a total of 8 messages from starting from 10:30 at night, to 07:59 this AM. There are a total of 3 reply backs, all having personal information attached to them).
Researching the number back shows an area code of 734 (Ann Arbor), which is ironically the prefix I chose since I previously worked there at U of M.
The really interesting part is that I have a bit of a "stalker" at work, whose number I've blacklisted courtesy of Verizon wireless, and have not had any issues in say 1.5 months. 2 nights ago while at work she asked about setting up a google voice account after just purchasing a Samsung S, stating "I don't have any clue how to set this up". Was a bit busy at the time (patient going bad, honestly didn't really care", and opened up the app and told her to browse through it to get an idea.
How can I track this number (really think it's her) and verify it. I have a harassment case pending in HR regarding her, and would like to have it as material to provide it it really is her. Second, how the hell can my phone respond back? I have "Unknown sources" checked as I use Ti backup.
Any help more than appreciated. Thanks in advance!
LOL Holy christ no. One of the "you can take the girl from the trailer...." She's done this before to others at work, with the last moving to Canada (I **** you not) with his wife and 2 daughters. Been getting worse, hence my interaction with my manager and HR.
google voice also can use your email to reply back to texts..is your email compromised? Change your passwords..and do a hard reset..if you are using TI..just wipe and reinstall ROM...
It's hard to say what/if she did something...but yeah, thats weird.
edit: I live in Ann Arbor, but I wasn't the one...haha.
pretend how u have this treasure in nigeria, and ask her to "help" you bring it here.
Christ, I never thought of that, and I do have that option checked.
Sigh... I just did a complete backup 8 days ago, only difference is 2 games, and I can re-download those.
Google voice already uninstalled. After that I'm going to get number changed, and see if I can get it "unlisted" by Verizon.
What else, any other suggestions are more than welcome and appreciated!
Added question.

Somali pirates would probably ship her back, and the waters over there are dirty enough. No need to have Green Peace involved.... or maybe so... thoughts to ponder
Any way I can trace that number back to her original phone number?

do a reverse number lookup and google voice numbers are listed as grandcentral in their service provider. that will tell u at the very least that its a GV number.
Well, after logging into Google voice, somehow her number (which is and has been blocked by Verizon) is listed as a secondary phone, receive text messages on this phone has been checked, PIN not required checked, and never ring. Multiple sign-in is enabled as well.
Just outstanding. Changed email to some bs address. Will verify and forget, as has password to something ridiculous. Any other suggestions?

Document everything that has happened, as thoroughly as possible. Get whatever confirmation you can from Google that shows that your account was somehow compromised.
This chica sounds like she is serious business and doesn't mind playing these games long term. If she compromised your communications you can be sure that it was not just some isolated fun. She most likely mined your account for whatever info she could, and it's possible that she sent things 'on your behalf' that she can later use to accuse you of something.
Change all of your passwords immediately: banking, paypal, email, etc. If she was able to compromise one, it's likely she got into another.
It sounds like worrying about Google Voice or your phone is the least of your concerns: the symptom rather than the disease.
Seriously consider retaining a lawyer for whatever may come of all this insanity.
Maybe it sounds like I'm overreacting but I've seen the havoc that can come from such a situation and from your description, this sounds like it could go all sorts of awful ways.
I dunno... I think you like her.
i think you should talk to the police about this... not XDA... or maybe springer... he always gets the truth out

Is it possible she changed your google voice setup when you handed her your phone?

If she's that much of a nut case, why did you give her your phone? It doesn't sound like she's dumb at all, if she mined your phone that quick.

Who gives their phone to a known stalker nutcase?
I suspect there is more to this story.
Was she any good?

OK wait one second here... a woman is "stalking" you and you are having issues with this?? Are you another woman? You can't be a guy because it is impossible to 1. rape a guy and 2. stalk a guy.
This is so much BS. if you were really bothered by this person why do you talk to her? why do you bother with her? I think you are her stalker, thats more believable.
I have been stalked by a chick. Its creepy. You get stalked when they're fat and scary looking. So it is possible.
Didn't know that they controlled how fast you post on here if your a new user. That is insane. But understandable.

Aside from just simply changing your passwords, change your security questions to the accounts as well.
Document everything and hand it over to HR
There's also an option to change your google voice number, if you dont mind choosing a new one.
Somewhere in the settings on the desktop site.
Can anyone comment on what the actual box looks like -- I mean the one that UPS delivers it in? Is it marked with a Nexus logo or anything like that? I was thinking about authorizing UPS to leave it at my door-step without me here, but don't want it to get lifted if it looks like a nice package? So if anyone could tell me what the box looked like that would be great!
Mine was extremely nondescript. Plain brown box, I don't think it even said Google on the return address label. Still an expensive thing to risk (I asked a neighbor to pick mine up).
Yeah I actually just signed up for UPS MyChoice, which is awesome btw, and I am having them deliver it to a UPS retail location so I can pick it up after I'm finished with class. Thanks for the box description though! I ultimately decided that I didn't want someone else with their dirty nubbins on my Nexus 10
Yeah i am hoping this amazon locker thing catches on and expands to more areas, and then hopefully ups/fed ex will do the same. The issue is they arent open 24/7 at the moment, but amazon locker locations mostly are.
If I am not home and have to go to UPS to pick it up, its usually a 2 hour wait a monster outdoor line and this time of year when its 20F outside, id rather not.
The only thing "descriptive" on my Nexus 10 box was that it had the wording "manta double" on the bottom, which, isn't likely to be identifiable by anyone at all unless they know 100% what to look for (very few people in my experience even know what a Nexus 10 is in person, probably have no idea that the dev name for it is manta(ray) either lol)
Hello! Back again with a new and casual question for someone higher up in the OmniROM echelons, or someone with a bit of knowledge regarding Android logo's.
I wanted to have a 4x4-6x6 OmniROM logo printed out as a bumper sticker so I could put it on my car. There are sites that will let me do this, but would anyone object?

@jerdog is probably best qualified to answer this or point you to someone who is.
Not sure if he'll get pinged by the mention or not, if not I'll try to route him here next time I catch him on IRC.
If you can hold off, we will have a merchandise option soon.

Gah. I so want to order an Oregon one now. Another option for people if your school is on the list.
EDIT: wait, is the logo on the phone or case?

Looks like the logo is on the case ...
Yes, the logo is on the clear case they include.
The only thing I saw on this was they offered a few more colors that help match up to your school. I personally think I could replicate this much cheaper with a basic clear case and a decal.
Awesome look it. so i have already attachment my favorite...
Hi, I'm going to get straight to the point...
Basically I found an iphone X. I've done everything you can think of to try and reunite the owner with the handset. It's been impossible. The phone I think is blacklisted and icloud locked. My last resort was to factory reset which is obviously how I found it was icloud locked. All I know is their first name, imei number, serial number and the sim phone number which is on EE network before you ask. It's less than 6 months old and I am really ticked off that I have a £ 1000 paper weight on my coffee table which is essentially useless. Good only knows why the owner hasn't used find my iphone to mark it as lost and send a message to the handset saying "hey I lost my really expensive phone, what a dumbass! But you can call me on xxxxxxxxxx or email me at xxxxxxxxxx.co.uk and might be able to find a few coins in the sofa to buy you a beer and say thanks"!
So now what?!? Sell for spare parts or to someone in another country - f**k knows! It's such a waste.
So anyone have any bright ideas,anything, I'm all ears? Failing all else, make me an offer...
Can you even legally sell it? If it is legal to buy I am interested because a downgrade in firmware unlocks the passcode option and lets me unlock the iCloud stuff.

It's probably not. I wasn't aware you could do a downgrade to take advantage of some of the bugs/exploits in earlier versions of iOS in order to get passed the pin code and icloud lock.
Be a good fellow and tell me how to go about it...
Thanks

Let google be your friend for your stuff, I currently checked and it seems they are not signing any early version anymore so if it updated already you are out of luck and you should contact Apple directly and say you lost your account.

In that case I think I'm out of luck.
Just a quick question:
why is your repl to use goggle? In other words you're not going to help me out personally. What's with that...this site is all about helping people, giving them direction... because sharing is caring. You on the other hand have decided that because there is nothing in it for you then you can't be bothered to share your knowledge/skills/wisdom. If everyone was like that, humanity would be stuck in the dark ages!
Just a thought: you might actually find that helping another person is reward enough simply by the fact that their understanding and overcoming whatever it is, was only possible because of your help. The smile on their face, the knowledge they have gained and the satisfaction of overcoming the problem is yours to enjoy as well!
Spent another day searching/googling lost phones/property in my general location and still no luck. The owner must have given up on the idea of ever recovering the handset. I guess I'm stuck with a ridiculously expensive paper weight. Although a friend reckons there is a big market for handsets to be used for spare parts, especially Apple. It can be worth hundreds, even when saying that it is a lost phone and icloud locked.
It's such a F'ing waste. Anyway thanks for your comments.

I consider it a stolen phone as it is not yours so I would inform both apple and the police with the imei and hand it back to its owner.

Police weren't interested. They said the have hundreds of phones collecting dust and going nowhere!.They suggested I try to obtain the owners details from the handset and use my initiative to reunite man and machine....
Oy. Xda labs claimed this was a new thread. Sorry for the necro.
