ok this is an easy fix but 2 things to this..
#1 that video is only for FLOOR MODELS.. so you either got a stolen phone or a floor model
#2 goto applications.. find mytouch demo, force stop.
it will start up again after you reboot/turn phone off you'll have to do it all over again..
i suggest you root it and flash to eugene's mrslide final or myroot 4
I had this same problem..
good way to detect if it was stolen, when you press on either side of the battery door where you hold it in your palm it squeeks they ripped it outta the display
Paid 180 + my fked up BlackBerry 8520f or it..
sooo yeah i knew it was stolen when i took it to a ROOTER and he said its not a STOCK applications for fresh outta box

Really? Battery case squeaking means its stolen? My phone is less than 2 months old and has done this from day one, got it brand new in the box. Ignorance in your post as a "att tech" please continue to post only on what you know to be true. But yes he could have gotten a floor model, or one that was destin for it but they grabbed the wrong box.

I'm not reffering to the normal Squeak I'm refering to a LOUD ass squeek as if someone pulled it off almost the to point that the battery case seems to not the fit phone at all..
Please keep your flaming rude posts to a minimum and consider the fact that what one person may be posting isn't always what you are thinking.. they are talking about

Video = floor model
The demo video is only for floor demo models, so it could be stolen but the first batch of store demo's shipped to stores were not labeled demo like normal. Because of this, it is possible for a demo to have been legitimately sold if the rep did not boot up the phone.

You really shouldn't admit to receiving stolen property on an internet forum, especially when you have posted more than enough information for someone with 5 min. of spare time to know exactly who you are IRL.

Caught a thief red handed...

Excuse my typing below but its 4:15AM...I've been drinking..
So I went out with a few "car forum" buddies out today. We decided to head to local bowling alley which honestly ****ing hate. So we're playing there and I decide to leave my phone at a chair in the area we're in. So I see an old ex co-worker, he's 2 buddies and some girl. I say what's up, etc. After they dip...within a minute I'm looking for my phone and I'm like ****...looking everywhere..nothing. I don't forget my phone ever so I know I left it on the chair next to my friend's keys, etc. So I tell my buddy to go outside with me cause I just had a feeling that one of these guys might've taken them.... So as I'm walking outside they look over and I call my ex co-worker over to ask him if he's seen my phone which looks like an iPhone (Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S..lol). And he's like nah man sorry. At the same time I notice one of his friends step over a few feet and get next to some beige looking Crown Vic and acts like he's looking at the tire...I paid no attention to that. And I'm thinking to myself..damn I left the phone on vibrate. But then I remembered I purchased an app called "Where's my droid" and set special "words" that if I text it it can switch off vibrate and turn the ringer to the highest volume and even turn on the GPS so I can track it. So I text it with my friend's phone. Within 30 seconds I hear the phone ringing....I'm looking and looking...and I see it at the Crown Vics rear passenger tire. Then one of them which wasn't the one starts to get all defensive...."That isn't my car"...."I drive that car there"....and at the same time Im telling him that I don't think the Vibrant grew legs and walked over by this tire. He's buddy was the one who stole it. My ex coworker and his girl were in shock that their 2 friends just did that ****. Before even a fight could break out in the parking lot my buddy calm me down.
In this stories current state...its pretty much the worst.story.evar.

I've never tried Where's My Droid..I have Lookout but I also have another app called SMS Commander that does the same thing and a lot more. You can silence it, set it to loud or vibrate too. You can send it a command to forward all the texts going to it to another phone. You can get the location of your phone. You can set it on Spy Mode and it will fwd SMS messages to whatever number you want, tell you phone #'s that call your phone and even send you GPS location of your phone when the call was answered or placed. You can even send it a command to send someone a text message and it will look like it came from your phone. This app works great. I've had it since my G1 days..I installed it on my Nexus, my MyTouch Slide and my Vibrant.

Just take it into a Sprint store. They will help you. Why haven't you called them yet? Of course they're going to verify that you own it, so if that's an issue, GOOD LUCK.....of course you should turn it in to sprint so they can return it to its owner.
Seems a little odd that a Sprint customer having such an issue with their phone wouldn't have tried them first. You have 2 posts, so one could deduce that you don't follow the forum.

Of course, we do thank you for understanding who the leader of smartphone forums are. And since you stated that you've asked the question several times previously, and only have 2 posts, I assume this isn't your first forum you've visited with such an issue.
I had someone once who couldn't 'remember' "their" laptops boot password, and based on the fact they had to ask, I didn't think for one second about not mentioning that wiping the bios would do it. The story then changed to 'oh I just bought it from a pawn shop', but having dealt with pawn shops before, one would already know that they're not going to take in a machine with even the OS password'd, let alone the BOOT!

Ha, NOT locking your phone makes you end up like this guy! If you have a lock, no matter how talented of a drunk one may be, they're not getting past your 'lock'.
Now an unlocked phone can have one put onto it, as stated by the OP
You might as well just reset the wipe the phone. That is exactly what Sprint will tell you to do. Or try to request your gmail password.

Try and trace the owner or hand it in would be a good start.
Trace the owner, and if you cannot find them, hand it in to the nearest police station to where you found it.
Alternatively contact the carrier who can trace the sim number or mobile number of the phone and find the owner.
keep it, if you drop yours you have a spare one ,
unless the owner calls the phone. than you can give it back >.>
If you dont hand it in you will probably find the IMEI gets blocked by the carrier when it gets reported missing, so wont be of much use as a phone anyway.
Hand it in, if it was your phone I am sure you would wish for the same.
shouldn't be too hard to trace the owner, so do it.
If you can turn WiFi and gps on and leave the phone powered on (Samsung dive) else turn it in.
Step 1: Check the call log and call one of the numbers the person dials often. That's sure to be a friend/family member of the person.
Step 2: Tell them you found the phone and let them put you in touch with the owner.
Step 3: Return the phone to its rightful owner.
Step 4: Enjoy the boost in Karma.
The owner uses Samsung Dive and is tracking you right now. It's a guy, he's 6'4," 250lbs, and read this thread on XDA. Now what are you going to do
I don't understand the question. Is that just me?
There's only 1 thing to do, and that's ring someone (as suggested above) and return it to its rightful owner.
Edit: Alternatively, check the email address of the owner and get in touch with them that way.

What ever you do, never hand it to the police. it will end with them. This should be the last option If all the others don't work. Better it ends with the rightful owner as first option or you as last but one option.
What would you do if you found 5000 dollars on the floor? Hand it to the police? If you can't trace it, they can't.

I agree with OrionCarl in this case. Just because you find something doesn't mean it doesn't belong to someone else. Keeping it when you know that it does is the equivalent of stealing it.
Cool story bro!
if you can access the phone check for a HOME number, alternatively check the phones own number and contact the provider and report it...

Should I return the phone ? hell yeah you should

Hello everyone.
Today I found a brand new SGS2 on a supermarket and I took it
So I was wondering if they can track me down by GPS or something like that, if they lock the phone what's the worst that can happen ?
By the way before you judge me I didn't steal anything, like I said I found it.
If I were you I would see a lawyer and discuss this. In Germany you wouldn't have stolen it but would've been guilty of "Fundunterschlagung" which is also a crime and can and will be punished.
Tracking a phone is not that hard, there's the IMEI for example. In the very moment you use a sim card your carrier will know the IMEI of your device. So if the owner of the device reports this the police definitely can track down this very phone.
In addition you should never forget that most supermarkets have cameras.
I guess I will save you and me a discussion about the moral implications of such a behaviour.
Yeah, you're right.
I will give it tomorrow to my carrier maybe they will find in which name it is registered and give it back to the owner.
Thanks.
The answer is yes. This was not abandoned property. imho, You have a moral obligation and perhaps a legal obligation to return the phone.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
You should have given it to the supermarket customer service or manager or even hand it into a police station, im assuming it wasn't on when you found it (otherwise the owner would no doubt try and call the phone to see if anyone had it)
This thread makes me sad...if i lost my phone id cry and hope that the person that found it would have the decency to answer my frantic calls or hand it in to have it returned to me. Do the decent thing.

Seriously? If they find out you did that then you may well lose your job. As an employee your actions are not seen in the same light as a customer.
Look at the call log and call someone who's on there frequently. Tell them you have the phone and arrange to get it back to the owner. You'll make someone very happy and you'll save yourself a potentially large amount of trouble

It always makes me feeling sad when I read or hear such questions. Unfortunately we live in society where gadgets are more important than morality and conscience.

At least he is being decent enough to give it back!
Deloxic i know you have the best phone in hand right now and you dont feel like giving it back , but trust me the happiness and joy you'll get after seeing the owners face when he gets his 650$ phone is worthed more than this phone.
Return it and you'll feel so very good
You'll feel much better when you do the right thing rather than having the best phone in the world and thinking a person out there worked with their blood and sweat to buy that phone is missing his/her precious baby..

Keep it i say..Hug it, take it to bed with you and then once you are finished throw it out of the window...
Of course return it. Not only you feel good when you see the owner's face thanking you and being re united with their handset but also you might get a little reward...But that is not the point you should of just gave it to your supervisor as that would of been the decent thing to do...
Imagine if the supervisor said "ok i will return it" and kept it for himself
Either way glad you are doing the right thing
CWM 5 issue
Someone has problems with custom rom and CWM 5?
Be a nice guy and just try to track down the owner. Just check which Google account the phone syncs with and fire up an email.
If you've switched your own SIM into the phone, it's very likely the phone has sent a text message to a number the owner set up the moment you fired it back up. It's also fairly easy to track the phone via GPS, check call logs and wipe the phone remotely. The service provider can also track IMEI numbers on phones registered on their network.
More importantly, make the real owners day and let the poor guy have his precious phone back!

It powers on but the LED screen does not come up, about all that seems usefull to me is the back and battery. Is there anything else worth saving?
No insurance on the phone? I was going to say get a replacement screen on ebay but I just checked the prices and my god its not worth it.
Would probably be worth keeping it. Parts prices will fall in the next few months and could replace the screen pretty cheaply if you hold on to it.
Why did you not ask this question in the other thread you started?
I'll buy it off of you. pm me
You could use the HDMI out and use it as a Linux PC.
*shruggs*
holy crap what did you do to it

I need the actual LED display also, not just the glass.
I do have insurance, but at the time it was still on the road so I claimed it lost, it was still there when I came back home so I picked it up.

Fair enough. I did not notice it was locked. Good luck!
save it for a rainy day. spare battery or whatever isnt damaged. i dont see the need to start a thread to help make a decision about something that does not help anyone else on XDA.
If anything we now know, not to leave our expensive device on a car and drive away. Thank you for the insight.

people are mad.. because..
you only post a broken galaxy s3 pic + "booo" word.
just boooo word.
it just like you somehow
make a statement that galaxy s3 is a bad and so fragile device.
which is not,
it got ran by a truck,
of course it's broke.
anyway..
just wait for the parts price down,
it's still rare and pricy for now.

Didn't you say you had insurance and were getting it replaced?
Don't you have to send it back?

I get that, but I posted late at night and got up the next morning to a lynch mob, its not like I abandoned the thread. I would have never thought anyone would intentionally damage such an expensive thread so it was rather pathetic to see that was the direction of the thread before I had a chance to respond.

I claimed it as lost, It fell off on a very busy road and I wasnt to keen on trying to stop traffic to get it. On the way home it had worked its way closer to the side of the road and traffic was a lot lighter so I decided to venture out (mainly just to see if my SD made it). I had already made the claim though as lost, since I didnt plan on trying to retrieve the phone.
