Security app? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

My friend has a jailbroken iPhone and has a really cool app called Cylay (if you don't know what it is, Google it. In essence, it's an anti-theft app that can do a bunch of cool stuff). I was wondering if there was an equivalent in the Market (I refuse to call it by its new name)?

A good one is SeekDroid.
It is on sale right now, you can locate phone, track it on a map, wipe the phone, etc. I think it is one worth looking at.

Preyproject.com has an app for android.

Actually, your HTC Sense account can do all that remote lock or wipe your phone, as well as geolocate via the website. It just has to be set up properly.

Well then, how do I "set it up properly"?

I wouldn't go the HTC Sense route, they sent out an email telling me to download my data because it's shutting down for a overhaul. Google it, you'll see. Besides it says it doesn't support ICS at this time anyways.
I have SeekDroid & Avast installed on my Vivid. SeekDroid you can control from internet or another phone, Avast can only be done via another phone, but has more features.

HTC no longer supports these features through htcsense.com.

That's the one! I've tried it and even went on to pretend my phone was lost/stolen, and was able to locate on a map on my laptop with and without GPS active. I think its awesome. Also its free if you use for 1 device (or one device per account).

Wheres my Droid pro is pretty nice, you can lock, unlock, make ring, locate, wipe phone, wipe SD, sim lock, and there's more stuff I just can't remember.
Oh and you can do this all via text message commands from any phone that texts, maybe even from sending a text via Facebook, or the wheres my Droid website if you set up commander.

Thanks for posting! This is the only app of this purpose that works as I would expect it to.
I too was prompted after 10 days or whatever to pay for use afterward, so I clicked the button to allow me to pay for it, and the dialog just went away, and the service still works... How exactly is this charging me, if it is?
To follow up, it turns out thY it stopped working. Clearing the app data doesn't restore functionality. Clicking subscribe doesn't do anything either. Oh well.

I know that reflashing your ROM will restart the cityid free trial. Maybe just clearing cache and dalvik cache will restart it? Maybe manually clearing /data/data/com.cequint.ecid and allowing it to rebuild will restart it?
If I'm paying for it then went to a non sense rom how can I cancel it

Actually if you clear the data with Titanium, it will start over without having to reflash the rom
Clearing the dalvik cache works too.

Working Tether without root (not wireless)

The Klink app works great with the HTC one for tethering without root.
It does require you to set it up on the computer you're tethering with, and the phone.
Long time lurker and I haven't hit the post requirement for link posting, just search Klink in the play store.
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, if so please let the post sink and disregard it.
I just purchased based on your opinion..it's Pretty good ..thanks

It appears you can usb tether with sense too, just need to install HTC sync manager and enable usb sync in the phone settings.
I didn't bother installing HTC sync manager, so couldn't confirm yet. But information seems that it'll work.

I am glad USB tethering works. I have been using EasyTether on my Moto Photon for about 1.5 years without a single problem. very stable.
It's my first time hearing of Klink.... is it stable?

Have Viperboy ROM and wallet says unsupported device. When I tried using it, transaction would not go through. Anything I need to know/set?
Am on a Sprint One.

unsupported device is because its not a sprint rom. it will work anyway. most likely the stores issue. i findthey are iffy at 7-11's and walgreens with google wallet.
When Google Wallet says unsupported device, that's just Google's warning to you that your phone is rooted and using Wallet may not be advisable when rooted. It should not affect the functionality of Google Wallet at all though, you should still be able to use it like normal.

[Q] Will this work our Beauty?

Did you try DLing it and using it..can't even DL, it's domain is off...
Probably not, as it is designed to be installed in the system, instead of as a user app, and since it is in the gs4 forum, I would assume that our system is different enough from theirs to cause at least an fc, if not bigger issues.

Selling Sprint HTC One

I switched to AT&T and want to sell my Sprint HTC One. I noticed after hard resetting the phone, it still has my phone number and current username info under About>Phone Identity. Does anyone know how to remove this info?
You can't really unless u sell it to someone and they activate the phone under their account then once that is done they have to update the phone profile under settings- activate device- update profile

Thanks. I thought there was a ## code that would to delete but I guess I was wrong

You should be able to do this. I was able to do it on my EVO, but obviously, this info MAY be out of date.
You will need your MSL though, and unless you're rooted, you'll need to call Sprint to get it anyways. As the mod in the linked thread points out, you might as well get their help with it since you'll have to call them anyways. My EVO was rooted so I've known my MSL all along.
