MyXperia - Sony's phone location service - Xperia SP General

If you have a 2012 or 2013 Xperia device you will be able to activate My Xperia from your phone’s settings. Once it’s enabled, a visit to the My Xperia site will let you sound alerts, find your phone on a map, lock it down, and erase internal and external storage. It’s surprising that three years after Find my iPhone there’s still no Google location service distributed with Android, but Xperia owners out there will no doubt be happy about having a first-party way to track down their phones.

I think it's only available for Nordic countries as of now. Sony will gradually release it for other parts of the world.

actually if u have read the post, its now available worldwide

download the app from the link provided by zolaisugly, install it as usual, go to setting--> security --> administrator --> enable myxperia
then just go to myxperia site, login and it will automatically show your phones location

It's a good idea but, there're many difficulties in tracking the lost phone, especially a phone using Android, actually! 'Coz flashing a rom is as easy as turning off a light! :laugh:
P/S: However I've installed and activated this service, just like an interesting thing of technology!

Ah so its not here by default.
... And about locking phone really? Just flash it with newphone. Problem solved.

Thanks for sharing, I haven't much time to check news and topic
OK, so I have flashed all three files, seperately to test them out and it may be me, but my notification light stopped working. I had to restore a nandroid to get it to work again.
If anyone tries this please make a backup first, and report if it works for you or not. According to the source it works on all 2011 xperia devices.
The user who made the zip said "it should work on whole 2011 Xperia series as long as you are on stock based GB/ICS"

Track and Control Xperia remotely

Like we have Samsung Dive application for Galaxy devices, do we have any way to track and control lost Xperia Z phones or any Sony phone online through PC.
Thank you.

Didn't get it with my unbranded one. It's still provided as beta version in Scandinavia. But here on XDA the apk is available and you can use it in every region.
Installed it today. You can locate your phone, lock it with a four digit pin and a note for the person who found your phone and use an alarm to find it.

[APP] BBM Android APK

Hi,
Stumbled upon this file some time ago. I thought it was pretty dodgy at first, but it gave me the ability to register blackberry ID, which i then get a reply email from blackberry.
It then proceed to "setting up BBM" and doesnt progress anywhere from there.
Sounds like a closed beta where only few blackberry ID are allowed.
If anybody want to try, feel free to pick it up in here. Pass is: testonly
Its probably gonna be released next week anyway
Nice find!
Shame we cant login
hi, where did u find this app? i think latest version is ....050 and this one is ...033...
maybe the latest version would work?
Unless somebody can hack it, it wont work...
Only certain BBID's approved by Blackberry work unfortunately.
we can't be sure couse we haven't tried newest version...so, maybe someone has it...?

Is 050 the one leaked on youtube? Unfortunately all i have is this 033. Seems that whatever version we have will still requires right bb id to try it, as kingp1n said.
Hang tight, it'll be available next week

Here in Norway we get the Smartband SWR10 when buying Z2, with every provider as far as I've seen. But we can also buy it seperatly for 100 dollars.
Ask for the apk in Android General thread. Its one of the most popular threads on XDA. There are tons of restricted apks there. The rule is, free only, per XDA rules.

Do you know how it tracks you movement? How does it know you drive/walk/run? I get the walk/run because you run faster, but if you're stuck in traffic it might think you are walking..

My smartband wont be here until Friday so I can't be certain but if it's similar to other sensors it depends on motion. Driving will sometimes show up as steps but it's reasonably accurate. If I set the car to firm suspension I get a lot more steps!

yup tried manually refresh and nothing. Still on an older version of the movies app.
I would use it if it could play DTS audio (= most 1080p/720p MKVs).
