Awesome anti theft app. Well worth the asking price, but it is free for the next 30 hours:

What does this do that the Google built in device manager doesn't? I thought you could track, wipe, and sound an alert with what's built in to android. Why do I want this (sincerely asking)?

Read up on the features it can do so much more like taking screenshots or activating back or front camera if someone has stolen ur phone you can even activate wifi or location through sms so IMHO far better than android device manager

android manager only works when your account is in use. Consider your phone is stolen and you used a wipe. Now your account information is removed and Google device manager is now useless.
There are lot of differences. I use avast anti theft rooted. My phone was stolen and I was able to track it, control it and eventually got it back after 4 weeks.
What you can do with this app which adm can't
Use sms commands to control your phone
Block Uninstall manager and/or settings page remotely
Whenever a new sim card is inserted you will be notified. This is most useful feature.
Force data and gps connection remotely. The other user can't turn it off.
In my personal opinion, you can't prevent theft.. If you lock down your phone (what you can do in adm) after that, the thief knows there is something wrong, and he may flash new firmware. But these app allow to silently track the phone which gives more power to locate the phone.

Definitely this is a very very useful app, hope the thief doesn't know the loop holes.

I've seen a lot of apps that will send your phone text to a tablet but it seems like none are compatible yet anyone know of any that are yet ?

Tablet talk works great.

I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it only works if the other person has What's App, too.
I use Google voice, only thing that you don't get are the picture msgs.

Try HeyWire Link ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZWRpYWZyaWVuZHMuY2hpbWUiXQ.. ) in google play it is free and it works. Takes a few min's to setup and a little thinking because of the way the help files are, well there english is not to good lets put it that way. But it works very well. Hope that helps
Yes, I also use the fantastic product: 'Tablet Talk'

Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

I've used Tablet Talk for a couple weeks now and it hasn't really worked for me. I'm thinking that it's probably because of my phone. Does anyone else have a Galaxy S II/N7 pairing that works?

Be a bit more specific For example..are you using a 3rd party SMS program such as GoSms or Handicent? If so..read the FAQ for tablet talk.
Whats the issue that you're having?
Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.

If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

Hi everyone
As much as I love my nexus 4 I just can't ignore the earpiece buzzing so I'm thinking of selling it rather order RMA after RMA.
Question is can I remove the devices from my Google account so that they are no longer linked to me and whoever should purchase has no way of obtaining my information or abusing my Google play account?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Factory reset.
Thanks.
What I actually meant was removing it from my play account so that when I go on play.Google.com and look at my orders and devices my n4 is no longer shown I.e. is completely removed from me?

Isn't there a way to remove it without having to reset my phone ? On the play store my old galaxy s ii and desire HD show up :/ I sols both of them , and reseted them , I don't have them anymore

just go to My Orders & Settings ->Settings and untick the show in menus option beside whatever phones you dont want to see.
Are you located in California? What is your asking price?

I think you should RMA the phone. Get them to track all these issues so that there may be hope they will permanently fix the problem. The new phone should arrive within a week or so. If you are still unhappy, then you can sell it. But at least you tried, and LG did not get away by selling an inferior product.
I ran into a problem last week where my girlfriend got her phone stolen. We promptly called AT&T and had them shut it off but it got me thinking about security and recovery apps. The problem was, she didn't have any screen lock set and now whoever had the phone had full access to her private photos and text messages.
I had played around with some "track your phone" apps a few years ago but it was mostly for the fun factor. Now I'm looking for some recommendations from you guys. I know there are a million apps out there that do what I'm trying to do but I want to know what you guys use and trust.
I need the following features.
1. Phone tracking - I'd like to be able to get on either a website or another Android phone (my phone) and pinpoint where the phone currently is. This is important for lost phones and stolen phones.
2. Remote Wipe - If the phone is stolen or unrecoverable, I want the ability to remotely wipe the phone or factory reset it. I don't want anyone getting my personal stuff.
I've heard Lookout a good program but the price is a little high and I believe it's a yearly charge.
3CX has a device manager that looks promising and it's free for up to 5 phones.
Please respond and let me know what your personal experience has been with any of these programs. Hopefully I'll never have to use it but I'd like to have something just in case.
Ceberus is great. Check it out on Google pay. Free for 7 days then a one time fee of around 4 bucks. You can use it on any of your devices without paying again. Also if you have root you can prevent it from being uninstalled with a factory reset.

hey guys so as the title says, i sold my phone without wiping and left my google logged in. is there a way i can remotely wipe it?
There might be. If you enabled it before you sold it.
Go to google.com and then go to the google play store.
Click the little gear on the upper right side. and then click android management.
When there, there is an option to remotely wipe the phone.
However, you must have enabled it on the phone before you sold it.
This is the only way, unless you physically have the phone or nicely ask the guy. Otherwise, just change your google password.
And hope you did not store pictures and other confidential software on it. Good luck.

If you had a corporate exchange account, then go to the corprorate email client on a laptop adn there under options you will find a way to wipe the entire device. This is if you had a corporate exchange account put in.

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?
Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird
Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

This has never happened to me with either of my phones (N4 running AOSP custom rom or Atrix HD running CM11) or any of my past phones (iPhone 3GS jailbroken, Atrix 4G CM10), but my Surface Pro 2 does set off those things when going into my school library

The solution would probably be to stop hiding under your clothes the T-shirt that you grabbed from previous store!!
