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.

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.

haha, good call.
No issues at all. I know not every pay station is like this, but when I tapped it with the phone, about 7 green lights lit up on the pay station, then I think my phone said "Payment Sent" or "Done" or something of that nature.
The cashier must have seen it happen before, or he must have had google wallet, because he watched me do it and said "just tap it there".

i get lots of weird looks but no one has said anything. its like people are amazed that not only is there other phones besides the iphone but that other phones can do thing the iphone cant

I always tell my cashiers after the payment has been made, "didn't know I could do that" and smile at them. ;-)

I used it at Tim Horton's the other day. I told the girl at the cash I was paying with PayPass then pulled out my phone, "Payment Sent", done. She gave me a look like "What are you doing, you can't do that" then the receipt when the receipt started printing she just looked shocked. But the best part of it all was when the lady behind me said "Oh is that the new iPhone? My husband has the old one so I', going to get him that one for his birthday." I'm like no its the Nexus S!!

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.
I like your optimism but too bad the world doesn't work like that.

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?

Google Wallet get 5$

Google has promotion now first 20k people
If you invite a friend and send them a penny at least to their NEW google wallet account both get 5$.
I hope this isn't against rules so would anyone be interested?
if not here then tell your friends about it try to take advantage as much as possible.
the only downside to verify account google wants SSN number meh......

Confirmed, got it, Thanks!

Hmm maybe it has problems verifying sometimes... My wife entered her last four and it went through, I entered mine but did so incorrectly and it asked for the rest of it... Ya I thought it was kinda sketch too but decided to take a chance... Also it says you can send .01 penny to up to 20 people and if they accept and they are New then you get a bonus $5 for each one... Something along those lines

For $5? Google is the only real winner because now they have more people using their wallets with an added bonus: now they confirmed your identity! X: maybe I'm just paranoid though haha :3 also, really just posting because I almost did it without thinking and kinda glad I didn't lol

Do you realize just how many people and companies have this info anyway? Id be afraid to really know

google promotion
send me 1 penny and u get back 5$ (my google wallet [email protected])

I got $10 for sending 2 pennies and then I just had the two people send me their $5 back. Easy $20.

Samsung to deactivate remaining N7 phones?

Someone told me that Samsung will eventually 'disable' the remaining devices not turned in. Assuming this is true, I am guessing this could only be achieved by an OTA update disabling the phone? Any thoughts on how to prevent this assuming it's true?

They have the ability to do it yes, but haven't seen anywhere saying they would. Android Central had an article on this, but fell short of saying Samsung would, only that it's possible.

He has been charging the note all day! This is reckless endangerment.

Even if Samsung pushes an OTA Update to disable the phone. It might not work. For example, i turnef off automatic uodates. Actually i turned off 'Software Update' feature.

I charge my phone before going to bed while it is in front of me. I do not charge it at night. I have also disabled the fast charging functions (both wired & wireless).
I use this phone almost all day..had it for 3 weeks now. Never observed it getting hot..forget abt hot..it didn't even got warm. Not sure abt others phones..but mine is good. Also, we need to know how the other phones blew up ? Did they root their phones & ran some crazy games or apps on their phones that constantly ran in the background leading to very high CPU usage & charging on op of it ?. If it were a wide spred issue & a defect with the design itself. Every phone should have been fired up by now. Not just one here & an other there.

I completely agree. I just got off the Phone with my AT&T representative from the customer service line ..she agreed that I could go do an exchange for the S7 edge now and next year when the new Samsung note 8 comes out or the S8 I can take the Phone in and upgrade without any penalty...
I told her that I upgraded to the note 7 because it was the newest phone and it would be a downgrade going to the S7... she agreed and I hope that this will work out

I agree fully with you. I repeated it back to her just for that reason.
What I told her was that ive been a loyal customer, full family plan with 4 phones, love the service, etc etc.
Said I upgraded to the best phone at the time, using my upgrade. Not my fault that the phone is defective and that Im being
forced to downgrade to a year old phone and one that I dont want. Said I purchased 2 wireless chargers, numerous accessories, my time and effort going the replacement route. All I want is a waiver of the upgrade whenever the phone I want comes out next year.
Doesnt seem too outrageous of a demand. For any of us. Isnt that what customer service is all about?
I hope so at least. Ill know tomorrow morning when I go in the store.

And you feel like you are safe? From what i read even turn off phone exploding. I don't want to scare anybody but... can you imagine that your kid play/talk on phone and phone explode/burn? OK. Not a kid/don't have kids, it is worth to keep a phone knowing that it my burn/explode any time in my pocket, hand etc? If it dose burn/explode in your face, hand,car etc., you will not win anything since there is so much buzz about and everybody has been warn. Yes i know i maybe dramatic but this is only phone and is not wort it to risk anything just for phone. Just my opinion. Choice is yours and only yours. Don't get me wrong but NO phone is worth it.
BTW Samsung can block IMEI and phone will be use less and i think that what they will do. You can block any software update and this will not help.

I believe he was playing on his phone and it was overheating and then he turned off his phone

My wife is chatting with an AT&T customer service person right now. This way we have it in writing. He has agreed that we can get the S7 Edge and then when the S8 we can then upgrade. I have the transcript of the chat, but I still don't know that I believe it myself.
That being said, I'm still going to turn these phones in and get the S7 Edge. My house burning down is not worth a cell phone, no matter how much I love it.

Haha.. We on att.. We don't have support for our phones now.. It took damn near 6 months to get 6.0 on my last note 5..smh

Folks who r trying to hold on to Note 7..i suggest ibstalling 'Cooler Master' which monitors the Phone's temperature & alerts you if it detects heating up. Another app ' Full battery alert' alerts when the battery is full while charging. Just simple precautions. Both the apps are available on Playstore. Also do turn off 'Fast charging setting'.
