Does anyone know of a "find phone" app other than "Antivirus" by AVG?
That one has a function in it called FindR which does the find-phone function, but I have a major fail with the app.
I accidentally entered the wrong email address to log in to the online control panel, and instantly it threw this at me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unfortunately, the instructions cannot be followed.
There is no FindR option at settings>tools>FindR !! And no other place to re-enter email address that I can find. So, I no longer have any access to the tracking function. (Yes, I have emailed them. No answer in 36 hours.)
Is there any other app that does this function?
I use Lookout. They also have an app called Plan B that you download AFTER you lose your phone.
"where's my droid" is also useful as it's good for locating your phone even when it's on silent.

Oops, I wasn't clear...I am talking about finding/locating it after stolen or lost.
where's my droid has a function that from another phone you text a code like "gps" and it gets the coordinates and sends them back to you. Has to be outside though.

yes, where's my droid can be used for this as well. for instance, I have mine set to give me the GPS coordinate when I text it the code "GPS where you at?" plan b performs a similar function but only works as long as your google account is still sync'd to the phone
Phonelocator pro is another one.

This.
There's also an app called Where's My Droid which lets you trigger an alarm on your phone or locate it via GPS via SMS.
Prey is another good one.

Hi, I am in the UK, on T-Mobile, we have new phones for work, XDA Orbit 2s on 02. I tried calling one of the guys on mu Kaiser, never used video before, but it fails straight away, asks what you want to do. I got 3G and good signal.
Any ideas??? Is there a setting or something??
Thanks.
James
Arr, it maybe that I am PAYG!
If it's failing immediately (as in way too soon for a call to have been attempted), then that's a sign that your network needs to activate Video Calling on your account.
I found this with T-Mobile, made a video call 18 months ago, tried again recently and it failed. After flashing several ROMs (same result) I called T-Mobile, they activated video calling and I made a call successfully a minute later.
If there's a delay between starting the call and it failing, then the problem is with the other person's phone or network rather than yours.
Ok I can't seem to get it to work either, i'll attach my screenshots in next post:
What am I missing? I think that in services I'm missing a video call option. I called my carrier and she said I would have to go into phone and activate the service so it could activate with the network. I was like ....... and then ended the call.

I've searched around and haven't seen anything about this. Does anyone know if sound search natively integrates with the search bar and if not is there a way to do it? I'm using Shazam right now but I would love to be able to say "okay Google" from anywhere and tag a song. Thanks!
Are you trying to use Ok Google to tag using the Google Sound search, or use it for Shazam somehow?
Not sure if this will answer your question, but Google Now offers "Ok Google" detection from any screen.
Open Google Now, and visit the Settings.

Go into Voice.
You will have to train your phone to detect your voice to recognize the hot phrase from any screen, including your lock screen.

I would like to use it with either Sound Search or Shazam but I figured since SS is Google it might work easier. I already have okay Google everywhere
You can ask google now "What song's playing?" and it will tell you, and add the result to your sound search history.

Oooh....my fault for assuming that you did.
Ok guys I've checked all my settings and for the life of me can't figure this out. Everytime I use the text feature from the watch it seems to work ok(tells me text sent etc.), if I go to the phone it appears as if everything is ok(shows text being sent from messaging app), but no one receives the text. If I go back to the messaging app and manually type it from the phone it works fine. Cant figure this one out any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.......
I have the same issue just on my phone when using OK Google

What phone are you using? I am on a Galaxy S5.
Note 4, Verizon.
Idk about on Google not working but the only way I can respond from the watch is I use Google messenger. On stock messaging app on my G3 to reply it tries to make me open on phone. Maybe try the same and see if it makes a difference?
You have to use google hangouts as your default text program or it won't work. Had same issue.

I enabled hangouts as my default and also made sure I enabled sms and it still doesn't work. The message is listed in my app but is never received by the recipient.

Also tried the Samsung default messages app as the default in Google now and it didn't work.
I think I'm the only person with this issue.
This fixed it for me.

How can I stop this annoying popup after the end of a call?

I'm on Tmobile. Don't have that screen. So maybe it's in the settings somewhere of your carrier?
Not on my Sprint variant.
Anyone has this problem or can suggest something? Anything? It's killing me.

You could start by providing more detailed information. What carrier? What third party apps do you have that relate to contacts/phone?

My phone is Verizon but I use it with T-Mobile. I've looked up all the apps that has access to my contacts and draw over apps and didn't find anything unusual.
I use truecaller but that one has it's own notification.
The picture I attached in my first post shows what is really bothering me
I have Verizon and don't get this
Well finally after a lot of research and tracking apps I finally found what app it is. It's call (efing) reminder app. That is a part of bixby I guess.
Flashlight
Plagued me for 2 weeks and removed apps one by one. As others suspected, it was a flashlight app. It's gone now. App has an icon that several apps use, so I don't remember precisely which one. Not going to reinstall one to be sure. Light House Inc has this icon.
Its App Backup and restore. Uninstall that and the annoying after phone call popups are gone
Had same problem. After uninstalling app backup and restore, everything fine.
I also had same problem but solved it by uninstalling "Bestie".
I also double checked it again after installing and uninstalling again.
Hope it helps.
App backup & restore fix
Hey everybody. I came across this thread when I was trying to fix this issue on my phone. I saw that nopers said if you uninstall the app it will go away which I'm sure would definitely work. I wanted to keep the app tho so this is what I did:
Settings>Applications>App backup and restore>Permissions>slide phone and SMS off
This worked for me on Samsung Galaxy S7 so hope that helps anyone looking for a solution.
Hello, on the old phone one day I received a notification that said "you want to activate DO NOT DISTURB automatically when driving?" I clickes "yes" and this appeared in the menu.

Now I have notes 8 and I do not know how to do this function again .. I read on xda that there were some beta tests on google play services. but I can not install that version because it is too old and the one in the factory with Pie exceeds it. any ideas?
(Sorry for my english)

I think they disable that option because it wasn't "smart " enough to detect if you were driving, a passenger or even on a train.
There are two options to enable DnD (do not disturb). None is a native option. First, like I do, install android auto and set the bluetooth device. The second one is an app named driving inspector.
Hope it helps.

It is possible to "copy" the native options from my S7 edge?
I want this function because I use it every day with no other app installed :/
PS: I searched "driving inspector" on google and play store but I can't find it.
