[Q] HD7 Singtel Xplorer won't work! - HD7 General

Hi,
I am writing from Singapore and I got my HD7 last week.
The phone is working great except for the weak batt. However, 1 big issue i face is the navigation app by Telmap/Singtel call Singtel Xplorer will not work! I called Singtel multiple times but they are as blur as me!
I reinstall the app multiple times and hard reset like some others recommend. I can load the app and it went in to the disclaimer. After that it shows No Packages for ever at the Registration page.
SIngtel told me the app is registered under my name and I should get to use it. But i just cannot get pass the Registration page.
Anybody from SG got it to work pls throw me a msg or post here to help!!

I have it running well,but it is still in development mode. All i can see is both the about and screenshot columns. You may wanna bring it back to singtel. If you want pm me your contacts we can go out yumcha and i show it to you. Teas on you of course haha XD

This is a charge service, did you click on "Accept" button?

Same problem earlier on . . .
But get it works after sending down to Tampines Mall Hello Shop, they told me FREE to use for 6 months.
After using for few time decide to abandon it, because very slow, laggy.

Hi to all kind bros!
Finally just got it activated. Apparently, SINGTEL SCREW UP!
they were so confused that they did not activate it for me at all and offered to escalate it to higher support.
I made a total of 6 calls to Singtel to complain before finally I received a notice on my phone that the service is activated!
Now I can use the app but still hoping for a navigation app like iGO8 that do not use data plan.
btw, HD7 rocks!!

Hi all,
I had the same problems for my LG Optimus 7, when it was first launched. I do not know how many times i had to call Singtel to sort the issue out. i was told at least on 2 occasions my package was not registered and they had to do it for me. It didnt work even after they told me to wait for 24-48hrs.
Multiple times they told me their technical staff would contact me. None did. One day, i tried the Xplorer and it finally worked. Couple days later, i recieved an sms from singtel to say they were still working on my issue. They didnt even call me to find out if it was working. Subsequently, about a week after that they called. Straight away i told them it was working.
I find the Xplorer lags tremendously. It also hangs when i zoom in to the maximum and after that i am not able to zoom out. I need to go back to the Home Page. Also frustrating it does not multitask. If for any reason you need to reply to an sms and you leave the Xplorer screen, it need to reload again. Start all from fresh.
I have been trying to find out to whom i could write to about all this issue. No luck. telmap site can never be loaded. So not sure what is the problem or even of their existence. I would not want to waste my time contacting Singtel, cos as a customer, i probably would be made waiting again.
I wonder if this problem is only for the WP7 OS. For other platforms such as the Iphone and Android do they phase similar problems. I think Singtel should provide us some form of means to provide feedback on the Apps they are releasing. of cos we want to see it working well. Soliciting our feedback would help them improve this app.

Hi all sg HD 7 Fans, I also bought HD7 2 days before. But the maps inside the phone was like only street no blk, and while the xplorer have to pay.
Do anyone have other free alternatives for GPS in SG?
I seriously suspecting that Singtel is blocking some functions of the "maps" cause it looks different from the one I see in the Manual (full Version one)

Phone shows full service but I don't receive calls

Sometimes people call me and get a message saying my phone is off or out of service. But when I look at it, it often shows 4 bars of service..
When I call someone, the problem disappears temporarily, and I start receiving calls again (and I receive all the SMS's I was supposed to get at once), only to appear again later for no reason (a soft reset also solves it). It's not related to location, it also happens when I spend the day at home (where I get a strong signal).
I don't think it's a operator problem either, since my operator is known for it's good services, and other people who use "normal" phones never had such a problem.
I tried 3 different ROMs (dutty's hybrid, Hyperdragon and AthineOS) and 3 different radios (dutty's radio (1.65 something), hyperdragon's (1.70 something), and eMo radio). Right now I'm using AthineOS with hyperdragon III's radio, and almost no programs installed..
This problem happens both in 3G and EDGE mode.
Anything I can do about it?
Send it in for repair?
Seems you tried all you could...
Don't think I can send it for repair, since it's an AT&T Tilt and I'm not even in the US..
Guess I'm outta luck then
Anyone else have any ideas?
have you tried the sim in another handset, sounds like a network problem to me.
3G Network
Are you using 3G Network?
Sometime I use 3G band and even It show good signal I loose phone calls.
I changed to GSM and no phone calls loose.
This happens in São Paulo/Brazil but...
EDIT: Sorry. Now I saw that you reported this problem also using GSM band.
Thanks.
I am not sure if you're using your US SIM card in a foreign country?
Maybe you just forgot to enable INTERNATIONAL ROAMING before you left ... ?
I'm having the same problem
I seem to have started with the same problem about a week ago. A couple people complained that they called me but it rang twice and went to voicemail - My phone never rang. However, after I made a call (or apparently did something to "wakeup" the phone), I would get the voicemail notification (2 hours later).
I tried reseating the SIM card, but then it went to "SIM Card Missing". I did a hard reset, but that didn't help. I took it back to AT&T and they replaced the SIM Card. That seemed to work again, and certainly would have been a convenient fix (bad SIM card - too easy). So I've just spent all weekend reloading all the apps, but now it's happening again!!
The symptoms are; After I reboot the device, I can receive one or two calls, then it doesn't ring anymore (the caller hears 2 rings then it goes to voicemail). If I cycle the Phone radio button in the Comm Manager, or cycle power, it comes back to life for 1 call, then craps out again.
I'm just using the standard AT&T ROM (without the Bloatware after this past reset) and the standard/default radio version 1.27.12.11
The only thing that I have noticed that seems different lately is that the "Comm Manager" task is always running when I look at the running programs (which I don't think it used to) I had also recently installed Garmin XT.
The device is of course 1 yr + 2 weeks (so I assume just out of warranty)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hmmm,
what I would try, is, to just make a hard reset, load only my contacts to the phone and run it for a while to monitor its "Incalling" behavior. If everything seems to be fine, I would go ahead and start installing an application, then monitor my device again for a while, if everything is fine I will go ahead install the next application ... and so on. That is just to make sure that no 3rd party application causes this problems.
BTW:
I don't think that GARMIN causes this problem. I used to run Garmin on my HTC too (v5.0) until I came accross SYGIC McGuider (which works much better and card scrolling is much smoother than Garmin).
Well,
to come back to the point: if you get the same problems without loading any 3rd party application on your device, then I would recommend trying another ROM (best advice: go with the HTC stock ROM). If it also happens with the other ROM then it might be hardware related and difficult to fix.
Thanks - I knew that's what I should do, I just didn't want to do it after having spent all weekend reloading and configuring it. I thought I had read somewhere about Garmin having to have the phone radio on to work, so I was hoping there was a setting somewhere that I was missing that was powering the radio down. But..... I suppose it's time to go back to common sense and just do the reset
So far it seems to be working now. I'll give it a few days with just the basics and then start reloading one at a time.
Thanks for the quick response!
Spoke too soon
looks like I spoke too soon, it's doing it again - seems like it was fine for about 3 hours, but now .....
guess it's time to try my luck with AT&T - time to see how good their customer service is

Well, I'm experiencig totally same stuff here. I don't know whats really going on. I've NEVER before had such or even simialr problem.

One question. Are you using Opera Mini maybe?

no, I was just using the default browser.
I've got nothing installed on it at this point so I'm guessing it's hardware related.
Over the last couple months I had been experiencing some strange battery drainage (not related to the GPS issues). I don't know if that was a symptom or not. It just seems like the radio is going to sleep somehow - it wakes up for a little while if I sync my email, cycle the radio via comm manager, or cycle the power.
Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that controls that? (sure would be nice if it were that simple)
The AT&T store was basically useless, all they did was give me the phone number for the warranty department (but since I'm 2 weeks past warranty, he doesn't think they'll help me), and of course offer to upgrade me to the Fuze for $375 - no thanks!
I've had the same issue (I think). I too think that it seems to happen when I have a 3G data connection active and moving back to GPRS (non 3G) seems to make it better....
I'm on a standard UK ROM and using BTMobile as a provider.
I was driving down the motorway the other day and overtook a friend. He rang me and went straight to voicemail. I then got a text to say that I had a voicemail and rang him back.
I was running TomTom Traffic at the time so would have had a data session enabled....
I think its something to do with the data session sometimes not letting a call through but can't put my finger on anything and certainly can't find an option to change any settings...
Also, even at home, I'm constantly picking up my phone to see that it "has no signal" and the exclamation mark is displayed - so calls aren't coming through - but it then connects and shows a three-bar strength signal. Don't understand why it keeps dropping out, but I get a 3G connection at the front of my house and an ordinary G connection at the back and I think that it sometimes to stay connected to the 3G connection for data even when the phone signal is very poor and it would be better dropping that and connecting at "old" GPRS speed...
Same on the train on the west coast main line out of London. I think having the 3G turned on causes the phone signal to drop out completely more than when 3G is turned off, as the phone tries to hang on to the signal of a 3G cell and doesn't successfully switch over to the next "non 3G" cell whilst in a call.
have you tried a new radio such as NIKI's?
well, AT&T warranty was even less than useless. Home phone, Internet, and Wireless all through AT&T and the best they can do is "see if they could get me a deal on a new phone" or refer me to HTC technical support. Nice customer service AT&T!!!
HTC technical support was actually trying to be helpful, once she found out I already did a hard reset, she referred me to their warranty group. They looked up the S/N and it's still under their warranty (I guess theirs is 15 months after manufacture date). Now the only problem is I have to send it in to them to see if it's covered under warranty, and of course be willing to go without my phone for 2 weeks (and pay them a yet to be determined amount if they decide it's not under warranty).
I'd like to try a different radio, but looks like there's too much for me to read up on - I need to get the device fixed, I've already lost too much time with it being messed up and me screwing with it.
Update
so this morning I was ready to throw in the towel and send the device back to HTC. At least they were willing to help me out, unlike AT&T.
I get to work, and of course the phone seems to be working (which isn't unusual, it works for a little while then craps out). Come lunch time, it's still working (now this is unusual, it must be a fluke, I'll give a couple more hours before I package it up). 4:00 and it's still working! Now I'm starting to wonder if it's got to do with the cell towers near my house (and the AT&T store since it did it for them too).
I email my buddy who lives about 1/2 mile away and also has a Tilt just to see if he's had any similar problems. He calls me back laughing. There's 5 People in his office with the exact same problem (and not all Tilts either).
So to make a short story long....... it appears to be a problem with AT&T, NOT the device (but Thank You very much AT&T for the incredible customer care you demonstrated and for trying to screw me into buying new devices for outrageous prices)
So at this point, I'm not sure if it's that AT&T has fixed the issue across the board, or if it was the "Resync the routing" that the online chat person tried last night that finally propagated across the network (I assume so that AT&T can find my phone in order to route the calls to me).
I guess we'll see if it does the same thing when I get back closer to home tonight, but I'm relieved that it appears to be fixed.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Now I have a little more time to read about how I can screw up my phone on my own schedule - all the practice of resetting it and reinstalling everything, and seeing how much faster it is has inspired me
Hi bbaydiver
Did Att fix your problem? I had same issue with my tilt 8925. I tried all the orginal Att rom "same problem". After couple minute, I can't receive and make call. thanks

I didn't tried asking AT&T for a new sim card. but I will call them to change the sim card. Does anybody know how to disable the 3G function?
Just a "me too..."
Hello everyone. I just wanted to report that I'm having the same issues...they started about a week or so ago.
I've had my AT&T Tilt for about 8 months now (it's a warranty replacement for my first tilt, bought in July...so of course, I'm out of warranty). I recently had problems receiving calls, and then I started being unable to make calls, even though my phone shows a decent signal...anywhere from 4 bars to 2 bars. When dialing, it'll say "Dialing..." for a few seconds...and then it clicks off. A soft reset will fix things temporarily, but that's it.
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM (I'll check the version number if someone thinks it'll help), and I've tried doing a hard reset AND replacing the SIM card. Same effect.
Someone please let me know if they resolved this problem. AT&T offered me an HTC Fuze...but I'm extremely wary of other phones by this manufacturer. I'm very, VERY tired of phones crapping out on me after having just spend a couple of hundred bucks on them. At this point, I'm just looking for something reliable. If someone else here has had problems with the Fuze, please let me know...not to start any fights around here, but I'm actually thinking about going with the iPhone.
Thanks.

[Q] Anyone else cannot connect to ATT server

WIth five bar and over 1mbps on download test via 3G, I keep getting
"Unable to communicate with ATT server" for Software Update.
Anyone else getting the same message?
I got the same message. I don't know what to do.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I wasn't able to. I tried everything and finally was able to put my phone back to the stock settings. Nothing worked. Contacted AT&T and they had no idea. Finally to save myself any trouble I just contacted Amazon, who I bought the phone through, and they are sending me a new phone that should arrive tomorrow.
I spoke with business care yesterday and qouted my/same error message. Whether or not she knew what she was talking about.....who knows, but she said since it was a push I didn't need to "check for update" and that it would happen automatically. Sounded like scripted response to that particular error. I am already running leaked JH7 and noticed significant GPS improvement over stock, JH2 and JH3. Curiosity was getting best of me so I have tried twice since update was available. Very happy with phone other than hesitant "back" button since installing leaked JH7 and removing all bloatware no need to update really until Froyo 2.2
Okay so I have done nothing to my phone other than download apps from the market. I have not rooted or sideloaded or lag fixed or whatever.. wouldn't know how. I also have a brand new sim if that matters or not.
I am getting a message a few minutes after I check for updates that says "Connection Failed, Unable to connect to the AT&T servers". Any idea why this is happening? As I said, I have not done anything to the phone other than download stuff from the market.
I have done this the last 2 days and the same thing happend both times. I don't want to change the date on my phone so i waited the 24 hours. Also as a side note.. I have checked for software updates 2 other times prior to this just for giggles. Once about a week or so after I got the phone and I got a message that said no updates and than again a few weeks ago and it did the same thing it did yesterday and today.. the connection failed message.
I would just wait a couple days then try again. There looks to be nothing you can do on your side. Since the update is rolling out in stages, I bet those who can't connect aren't "allowed" to update yet.
Yesterday the update completely bricked my phone. I exchanged the phone last night and again today as both I got had alot of issues (GPS Test finds 0 satallites regardless of where I am - my first phone that bricked worked great, Can't even connect to Android Market on my new phone...).
Since last night I couldn't connect either. I just spoke with AT&T, they told me to exchange my phone against and offered to give me an $85 credit to my account for the inconvenience.
If my next phone doesn't work like my first, I might be done with the Captivate... And i love this phone.
I have the same message when I try to check for the update. When did you all buy your Captivate? I bought mine on September 3rd. I wonder if they roll the update out to the folks that bough the phone earlier this year and block the newer users.
I bought my captivate the day it came out.
I got mine 3 days before it came out and I cannot connect
I think it might be to excessive server load on the part of AT&T. It might just throw out your request if there are too many people downloading
My phone has NEVER been able to connect. Bought it launch day and while playing with it I tried to see what that function did. It didn't connect but I figured everything was fine and it would work when it needed to...until this update came out and it still wouldn't connect.
Went to the AT&T store - their solution was to replace my SIM card because that MUST be the problem. No dice. They threw up their hands and handed me the phone number to get a warranty exchange.
It was pretty funny watching them try to navigate the menus. I can't believe they sell the product and don't know a thing about it.
Much like the poster above me, when I got mine (mid-August), I attempted to update just to make sure I would have the latest software at that time. It failed to connect and when I tried 24hrs later, still couldn't. So I just gave up unworried. I haven't gotten the update yet and will give it thru tomorrow before I try again. For what it's worth, the gps has always worked fine for me.
I get the same things, no root, nothing. I have a feeling that it just hasnt been released to us yet. I could be wrong and if so its gonna really suck. I bought mine 3 weeks ago from Amazon.
Something that would confirm to me that its just that it hasnt been released is if someone who got this message magically starts working the next day, whatever. Anyone?
I'm not really sure what to believe.. Seems like many others can at least see the update from the software update menu -
some have brought their phones into at&t and gotten a new phone that does get the update manually as well.. I am well past the 30 day return and like a lot of us, have flashed other roms, etc- But this doesn't seem to be a problem with some as they are still able to get the OTA update..
I assume we just wait for the next few weeks as they push the update to everyone- but who wants to wait that long??
I understand 100% about not waiting. I keep bumping my calendar forward and trying again....Im up to some where in first part of October already.
Mine always comes up with two arrows in the upper left corner. Once, before it failed to communicate it in the top of the screen in the center it came up with a white circle with arrows inside it. In a few seconds it gave the failed to communicate.
Yea, I agree with whom said that it is prob a server rejection on the matter.. guess we will have to wait. T_T

Except for the ATT store thing, I've had the exact same experience. Never been able to connect, and my update clock (to ping the server) gets reset to 24h. Even though it couldn't communicate in the first place. This happened before and after root. Never thought to go to the ATT store since I got the phone online.
I wonder if it has to do with locale. A lot of the people posting "no problem" or that they got updates are not in the coastal cities with a lot of ATT server load (e.g., SF and NYC). I'm in NYC. Could that be it?

I'm also in NYC, but my SIM is still on my iphone 3GS contract. (got the phone from ebay).
and my calender is already up to...Jan 1 2011.
I give up.
Downloads to 100%, I tell it to proceed, phone reboots, returns to the launcher and I get "The update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone."
That is followed with "Connection failed. Unable to connect to AT&T server."
Now when I try to even enter the software update screen I get "No Firmware" and nothing at all happens.
I've been through this twice now, each time backup up the entire phone using ROM manager before I try to update and after it fails, restore to before the failed update attempt. Sick of trying to get the update and sick of the GPS not working.
Update FAIL. Reading the dozens of stories of all the other people with problems it makes me not even want to try any more. I don't understand how with some people it works and others it fails with what seems to be no rhyme or reason.
Maybe I should backup, completely wipe the phone then try the update. But again, I've read of people trying that with no luck. I just don't get it.

Please help

Hi all,
This is my 1st Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) its 5 days old and seems to have a problem.
When I surf the net through my wifi connection at home after 10>20 mins of use its freezes, vibrates then crashes back to my home screen. Once at home screen it then vibrates 3 more times.
Its not rooted or running any additional software.
I've reset it 3 times to see if this helps but it doesnt.
Today I phoned Samsung support (uk) and they said it sounds like a software issue and they asked me to takes it to car phone warehouse so they could check it over.
I dropped into cpw house and explained my problems and they said they would re flash the firmware. 1 hour later I picked the phone up and went back home.
When i got home I checked the phone over to discover they had down graded it from 2.2 to 2.1.
I surfed the net for abit over my wifi connection and didnt seem to have any issues but the gremlins got the better of me and I decided to upgrade the firmware through Kies to version 2.2.
The way I see it I purchased 2.2 Froyo not 2.1 Eclair.
Since updating to 2.2 I'm back to having issues with wifi where it freezes, vibrates then crashes to home screen and vibrates 3 more times.
Please can someone help because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software.
Thx in advance !!
hi
you need to understand one thing
The Phone is on carers software, and by that it is meant to do whatever
carer decided it to do....
Without Rooting your phone ( what is breaching of your warranty)
De branding it ( in most of the cases)
And Un locking it.
there is not much you can do other than referring to the Carphone warehouse once again, for a WORKING software for your phone.
You can see witch Froyo Base/Breed you have in system informations
and then look for the answers for that specific Base/ Breed
But if you decide to Root your phone then tutorials for that are hire just google for it, its really easy, if you know what are you doing
best luck
xiadz
Thx for your reply xiadz.
Please let me extend..
The phone does not and wasn't purchased from the car phone ware house.
I purchased it from a local add. It was an upgrade and the previous owner was happy with his Iphone so I decided to purchase it from him (unopened and in the box) It is unlocked to any carrier and I have tried 3 different simm cards in it so it doesnt require unlocking.
Ive looked into the rooting and lag fixes but this didnt fix my problem.
I appreciate your help thou

Phone stolen today, htcsense tracking is oflfline??

HTC stopped their tracking services??? What is up with that? They din't warn us about it, then we could try alternatives...

I received an email from them that HTCSense was not going to be available, so I cannot explain why you didn't get that warning also.
It was also posted and reported on several of the phone sites.
I really missed that one. Never got an email either, just rechecked it...
I thought HTC was going to stop the HTCSense.com services at the 30th of April.

Dude, I can't help you with your lost phone, sorry to hear about your loss. Just a hint for keeping an eye on your next one: Cerberus does a decent job, it's available in Play Store and gives you a wide range of possibilities: tracking its location, sending messages to the phone, ringing sirens at high volume, taking photos with the phone's camera, changing the locking code, erasing all personal data and the sdcard, and best of all: you can make it a system app on rooted phones, so it survives a factory reset! Oh, and it doesn't care what sim is in the phone, using a sim unknown to the app blows the first alarm...
Well, yes, I am font of that app, and no, I'm not on their salary list B-)

Sorry about your phone and you are not alone realizing that htcsense ending meant the end of their locator service. The email emphasized files that you needed to download. Lost.my wife's phone and went to htcsense to help find it and dang. Contacted HTC and they do plan on launching a new service but in the meantime try where's my Droid .... I did and found the phone. It has all the locator services ... Free. To disable the phone it is 4.99.
Thanks for the replies guys. I bought a HTC One X, maybe I see you in the other section
If you have doubts upgrading to HTC One X and you have the money, you shouldn't doubt, it's a wonderfull phone. But owning a One X, I can honesty say that the Inc S is also a very good and fast phone!!
Be proud to be a Inc S owner!
I use avast antivirus. It's got a root installation for tracking the phone /locking it down or sending SMS of GPS position in case battery drops. Even has a list of approved SIMs, so if anyone changes the SIM, it locks down the phone, sends SMS, prevents connectivity, while SMS ing the new phone no and even prevents any hard reset.

Do you want to learn about your child status whey you buy a new Android phone for you child? Do you want to learn your employees whether take full use of Android mobile phone and work efficiently? Just free download phone spy to Android smart phone to try.
OX mobile spy is both a mobile phone information backup software and a spy-tracking software, Which all depends on how to use it and how to review of it.

Dude, I can't help you with your lost phone, sorry to hear about your loss. Just a hint for keeping an eye on your next one: Cerberus does a decent job, it's available in Play Store and gives you a wide range of possibilities: tracking its location, sending messages to the phone, ringing sirens at high volume, taking photos with the phone's camera, changing the locking code, erasing all personal data and the sdcard, and best of all: you can make it a system app on rooted phones, so it survives a factory reset! Oh, and it doesn't care what sim is in the phone, using a sim unknown to the app blows the first alarm...
Well, yes, I am font of that app, and no, I'm not on their salary list

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031303 I downloaded the three attached files, do I just flash them in recovery all at once and it's done?
And is this apk full ? (Not just a trial) ?
If I am wrong plz tell me how u did the process and how u included it in system so that it remains in Rom after a factory reset or is it just a feature ?

My Note just got stolen, help login out of everything.

I just got my Note stolen a few hours ago, I am so pissed right now, but hey what can I do... I live in Nicaragua, so no warranty and no police claim will get it back for me...
Tomorrow I will call my carrier and see if I can block my phone through IMEI number so the son of a **** that stole it cannot use it...
I never kept my gps enabled unless I was using it so no tracking software will be able to track my phone, I already blocked my number with my carrier so I guess there is not much I can do to track it, but I would like to sign out of everything on my phone, and I was just wondering if I changed passwords on every service installed on my phone would the theif still be able to login if I had checked the "remember me" or "stayed logged in" options?
Thanks,

Try to install plan b from the market. You can install it remotely from Google play using a web browser and should be able to get the GPS coordinates of your phone providing the thief has not removed your Google account. Do it asap to increase your chances.
+1 Good idea, However The phone will need to have internet access to receive the remote download.
Dont suppose you had Lookout installed ?? On my device it is un-installable, and i can remotely turn GPS on / off, Track the phone, Wipe everything, Lock the device, and even make the phone scream !! (useful for when you are tracking and a close enough to hear it)
I hope you get it back !!
Changing the password won't let the thief use any of the services you have logged into. The app should request him for the new password. Do it ASAP!
I feel for you man! Had my iPod touch, Optimus 2X and Galaxy SII stolen!

first of all sorry you, that's one of the worst things that can happen to a phone.
if you think the theft is using your phone only with a different simcard you have the following options:
- try planb (as already mentioned above) to locate your phone.
- if you have a google account on the phone, try android lost that will gain you the full control over the phone including locating it, taking photos of the cameras and wiping the complete data of the device out. its a really great tool .
- if you have a Samsung account on your phone, try the samsung dive website with this you can also do things like locating or wiping data view call logs and so on.
if all the above fail you should change the passwords of all your accounts used on the phone, especially the email accounts. also try to contact your provider, really few of them provide a location service based on the imei number of the device. and also some of them offer the service to put the device's imei number to a ban list so the phone is useless at all because it cant login in to the gsm network.
*EDIT*: go to the police and let them give you a document that the phone is stolen, and the imei and serial numbers. give this document to samsung and they will put the device to a blacklist, so the device wont get service/support/repair anymore.
i hope some of this become useful to you
Best thing would be to:
1- Track it (with the app said above) or with Samsung Dive!
2- Find the perp
3- Beat him with a cow bone
4- Retrieve the phone
5- Send it to me for inspection
Hi guys, thanks for your help, I installed Plan B a few hours after the OP, but still no email...I would gladly beat the crap out of the theif, but I fear I won't see my note again, I have already ordered another one, this time I will install every tracking anti theft app available...
Anyhow, after this, I installed Lookout on my Girlfriends Note, and tried out the tracking, the tracking is not that accurate, it positions the phone within a 2 Km radius...any other app that would be more accurate?
Thanks,
Im using avast and i have to say its working well, it has a ton of features, you can make mobile data persistent with a single text making tracking that bit more accurate
combine it with the screaming feature of lookout and you should be able to hear it if you are close enough.
Try samsung dive
http://www.samsungdive.com
Lol samsung dive will dissapear when factory reset

Little late for the original poster but Cerberus is a nice app too. I got in on a free promotion. I have it activated and don't even think about till I get an email saying that I changed my sim. You can remotely hide the app, wipe phone/sdcard have a login screen pop up appear, record video and or audio and map in real time.
Even though I think tracking your kids is creepy, I can see how some parents would love to install it on their kid's phone.
Thanks again for all the info, I will try all these once my new phone gets here.
I have a question though, all of these tracking apps need data connection on the cel phone's side...correct? What if the theif turns off data connection? Is there one that works with only GPS?
Well in avast, you can remotely activate data network even if the thief switches it off, It also has stealth mode where it hides all traces of being installed.
If you are rooted it can even withstand a factory reset.

I've used GPS trakcing with data off before ...it will track you even if the map does not render...afterwards when you get connectivity the map will be displayed along with your tracking info.
GPS don't requires data connection thogh, tracking won't work without data connection.
GPS fix the position without data connection, but for tracking you need to pass that information to server, which needs data connection.
