Most stupid S2 owner ever?...

I just lost my second Galaxy S 2 at the weekend.
I lost my first one 3 days after receiving it... managed to get money for a replacement via house insurance and then lost my new one.. seriously... imagine how bad I feel.
Some git out there is running round with a £500 phone with a custom rom and all my apps....
Totally depressing.
Pretty sure I'm one of the only people in the world that has lost 2 Galaxy S 2s since release date.

Sorry to hear that man. You gonna get another one?

Use the lookout last resort app from web market. It'll push to your phone so at least you can take it out

all that and u didnt install any anti theft software ?
ie getting the persons number and location

Maybe you should take more care of your things...?

Did you sign into your samsung mobile account? If yes, try http://www.samsungdive.com/ You can locate your phone with that service

i got home drunk and couldn't think coherently... think the phone was off as well as I tried to phone it right away.
Also... in a panic I changed my Gmail password and Facebook passwords to make sure when the device was back on even with a different SIM they weren't synching and accessing my accounts.
In other words... I'm totally f*****
sad times... and yes.. I like the phone so much.. I'll get another one.

Buy a cheap and cheerful phone for taking with you when you go out drinking.

I only know, that it's already implemented into the Galaxy S II, so you can use both of them. I don't know, if samsung dive is relating to SIM or IMEI, IMEI would be very nice , then our thread opener will probably eventually find his device

i want in on the action too...

Takes some courage to write here and admit you managed to lose two phones in such a short period of time. Good luck with the third one.

when i go out drinking etc.. i leave my main phone in the house and take out a cheaper.. but still good phone(taking pics n stuff).. so if i do lose it.. its no big deal.
I suggest you do the same knowing that you have already lost two of them.

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks.

Take it to an outlet for whatever the network it is connected to. It will say at top right of lock screen and on the sim of course.

It has no sim card so i couldnt tell which network it is on. It is unlocked because its open to any sim. Iv tried different sims and they show the provider in the corner

just root the phone/update firmware on it, which should allow you to factory reset it.

factory reset, through recovery will get rid of the lock pattern.
edit: I believe you don't need to flash anything. Power on device holding the Volume Up + Home + Power button

Thanks guys ill give it a try

Not so sure about that. If it is reported lost or stolen then the IMEI will be blocked and all that it will be useful for is a MP3 player. Hence my advice to go to a network shop. Any one will help and check the phone is not blocked.

you're right. that's why this is the right place, because of advices like yours

I feel sorry for the owner that lost the phone, and did not report the IMEI as being lost or stolen...
that'll be my very 2nd phone call if i lose my phone
the 1st phone call will be used to located the lost phone

Flash a new ROM But you can give it a factory reset (hold VOL UP + HOME + POWER buttons for a few seconds)
Offtopic:
I would find a SGS too

it's weird how many people "Find" SGS lately...
Honestly, on an etiquette POV, I wouldn't help anyone who "found" an SGS to unlock it... But rather help him find the owner.

thats what i was thinking...glad its not mine

I have spent nearly three weeks trying to find the owner. i handed it in to the police station but got it back two weeks later because it didnt get claimed. Which you would know if you read the earlier posts in the thread. If i lost my phone i would check the police to see if it had been handed in like most ppl who are bothered bout there phone. What does that tell you?

Stolen Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello guys !
15 hours ago I was walking towards my home when three unknown guys jumped on me, beaten me pretty good and then stole my phone. I don't really care about the bruises as I care about my little precious toy (though, I'm happy that I'm alive).
Because I'm such a noob I didn't protect my phone with Cerberus or any other security/tracing app. It didn't even have a lock-screen password (it's pretty useless because the phone can be wiped from recovery).
Guys, please, what do you suggest me to do ? I'd personally try to install a security app from google play store from my PC on my phone but I'm waiting for more oppinions. Have you tried it ?
The police asked for my IMEI code and they are probably trying to trace it by now, but I want to start my own investigation, see if this works.
As a last thing, Android users, PLEASE install tracing software on your phone. It doesn't matter if it costs money, or if it drains a bit of battery here and there. Also, make sure you will always have your IMEI code (mine was only on the box and it was almost worn-off).

The police can handle that for you...

Phone your network and report it stolen or you will be liable for any calls made.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Contact your Carrier/Samsung as far as i can remember they have the option to "blacklist" your imei so the thief won't be able to use or resell it without changing the imei but i doubt that the guy has that kind of technical knowledge

All you can do is get the phone imei blocked by network operator. It's too late now to protect anything in the phone or wipe it remotely
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I reported it stolen to the police and they asked me for the IMEI code so they can obtain a warrant and start to trace my phone. I wouldn't want to add it to that blacklist yet because I don't want the phone to become unusable (missing IMEI) while the police might be trying to get it. That's the only reason that kept me from calling Samsung last night.
Also, I called my carrier, canceled my SIM card and they are probably working with the police (if they got that warrant).
One interesting thing that the officer told me was that if the IMEI code is correct, whenever the thief gets a SIM card in that phone and calls someone, the numbers will pop up at their center and they can start tracking it.

You can track it by logging in to www.samsungdive.com if you set up a Samsung account
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

wow people are just soo low in todays world.. so few dont work for things they want like the rest of us

There is no need for 3rd-party software for that.
All the S II and S III (and maybe others) devices with a free service from Samsung called Samsung Dive.
Did you by chance take the time to setup Samsung Dive?
If you did, log on to www.samsungdive.com and it will locate your phone, give you log for the last calls, remote wipe, etc.
If you didn't, then too bad: serves you well for not taking the proper measures, even if Samsung tried to help you by giving you free software and service.

I'm not really a fan of Samsung's software. My phone didn't even know how does the stock ROM look like. Unfortunately, no Samsung Dive for me.
Thank you for the replies, guys !

When you get it, either get a tracking app or return to stock and use samsung dive.
Now what the police said is true, they can get him with the IMEI number if he puts a new SIM, locate him and kick his ass.
Don't be afraid, they will handle everything from here.

Isn't there a software called plan b? Not sure if it's any good or not but maybe worth a try

Doesn't work from ICS onwards (perhaps Honeycomb also) because apps can only be automatically started after you've manually ran the app once

I never knew about Samsung dive.
it just uses your Samsung account login details which is good, it knew about my s2 I had, my first s3 I had for 2 days, and this s3.tried it out and it's very good.
but....I still prefer findmyphone
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

It might be a hopeless case by now, but you can also try pushing androidlost from the market to the phone, via Play Store. And start praying that the thief has not wiped the ROM.
Good luck!

Well, thanks god you are safe and well right ? about the phone, without a tracing software i wouldn't have much hope. At least with the imei you would make it kind of useless as a phone for them.
Cerberus is always the first app i install on my phone. It is a must if you live in a ****ty place like brazil.

When you register with them it's just easier for you to track your phone via your account but it's basically just a imei tracker it's just when you register your account details your imei just automatically get sent with your account I think?

You must live in a pretty ****ty part of Brazil, because I've lived there most of my life and never had a single phone stolen. And I always have high-end phones AND know how to use them for both safekeeping my private data and the devices themselves.
OTOH, in the 1 year I lived in Ft. Lauderdale (FLA/USA) as an exchange student, I was robbed about once a month, including having my padlock broken in my high school's lockerroom twice. In 37 years living in Brazil, I had a car robbed once in 1996 and that was it.

Stolen N4 - Who blocks IMEI?

Hi folks.
I feel stupid (and angry) as hell right now. The worst part is that I can't even explain how it happened. I'm the most careful person in the world with my phone, and haven't lost a smartphone in, like, a decade, but I believe I have just had my N4 stolen from me. I had it, then I put it in my pocket, stood up for 10 minutes, then it was gone, and, of course, immediately switched off. All my careful planning is null and void; once it's stolen / off, there's very little that pintail, plan b, lookout etc can do. (?)
Anyway, I just need to know where and how I get the IMEI blocked? It was bought directly from Google, not via a carrier. Does anyone know?
Thanks. I'm off to dust off my credit card, and try to replace my baby

I would think talking to your carrier would be a good idea since they have access to block imei's. Even if they can't they are best able to point you in the right direction.

GSM phones don't have IMEIs, do they? I thought you pop a new sim card in and it's usable again.

Call Google, they can block the IMEI and remotely shut it down, I think I also seen that you can file a lost/stolen report with them. You mfight get a replacement, too.

Badass. But just tell Google. They can block it from T-Mobile and AT&T. I think straight talk too. Emails take along while but they do get back to you. I would put flyers up near where it was stolen that say the phone has been deactivated and will not work on any carrier. If it is returned to you there will be no questions asked ( maybe even lie about a reward) see what happens. You can say my number is on the lock screen or call this number in the contacts. Maybe they will just return it to lost and found or something. Could be it died and you just left it somewhere and someone picked it up to give it to lost and found?

How much of a fake reward would be required for a thief to return a phone? $100 bucks? Not worth incriminating myself. $200 bucks? Then my BS detector goes off because you are approaching the price of purchasing a new one.

There was literally ten or fifteen minutes between me sitting at the table in the bar using my phone, and it being switched off when I asked my girlfriend to call it. I guess I was pickpocketed when I went outside for a smoke. Sucks, but this is what credit is for, I guess. I'd only just paid off my card
I just want to block that SoB from using it. I'm still no nearer to finding the right contact at Google.

If they didn't wipe your phone, go to Google Play on the web and install Plan B to your phone. It will tell you where it is.

The phone was stolen and switched off within ten to fifteen minutes of the last time I had it in my hand. Pretty tough to install Plan B in those circumstances I have various apps for locating it, as well as a number of Tasker scripts to locate, erase, etc. but they are all pretty much worthless the minute the thief has switched off the phone.

I have tracked down the phone number for US Google Device Support , which I have called and they appear to have it in hand, although they have had to escalate my call to a specialist as they were not sure if they could block the IMEI.
Thanks all for taking the time to reply. My new phone has been ordered and should be here in a few days. Everything's backed up to Dropbox, so I'm only down a bit of money and some inconvenience. It could be worse.

Yeah, at least you weren't hurt in the incident. It sucks to have your stuff stolen (I had a phone stolen about 2 years ago in a mugging) but at the end of the day we move on and don't let it get us down. I've found that I'm now much more cautious with my electronics in public, which I guess is a good thing.

Hello there, sorry to hear about your situation. I actually JUST lost my Nexus 4 this past weekend as well. Were you able to get a resolution from the Google team regarding the block on the IMEI? I've tried searching around for more info but haven't been able to find much. What ended up happening if you don't mind me asking?

I may be a bit biased because I've rootedand customized phones since the D1, when it was MUCH harder than it it currently. But I have always found ODIN very easy to use. In reality, I'm sure the OP could look up a video on youtube on how to use ODIN and get his phone working in like 20 min (minus download/setup times for ODIN, ROM, etc.). And I'm sure he saved a bundle buying it like that. He just needs to pray it's not IMEI locked on top of it, or all that effort will have been wasted

Well why do you think I didn't post it. Now if someone bought a phone and it ended up being stolen....Idk what I would do. I guess get the seller to give the imei in advanced to check it's not stolen or blacklisted.

We'd prefer that you not. Phones with locked IMEI's are that way for a reason, and we don't want the activities on this forum getting us into legal trouble. Thanks for your understanding.
