Stolen phone. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently lost my cellphone but good thinhg is, I installed the mobiucare which is a phone locator. I want to send a command but they change the phone mumber. There's this feature about mobiucare that will notify me when sim card is changed but it just send me a sim card number, not a phone number. Is there a way to decrypt this?

First of all, I know nothing about this specific app, mobiucare. If it is so that you may somehow command this app to sms you or make a call to you then you should get the number.
What info you got is probably IMSI? These do not contain the phone number itself, phone number is assigned by the network operator equipment. You can probably find out network operator company that issued this SIM from the number.
Your best bet will be to let your local police know this I suppose. They shall contact network operators and will find out the phone by IMEI or by this SIM information you have.

"android lost" is an app u can pusb to your phone from your google account assuming your phone was logged into your google account
then you can use it to locate your phone on map..or take pic of person using the phone ...or check msgs calls...too much to mention

notify provider and they will block the imei to stop the phone ever being used

2 Line Tilt - 2 different accounts HOW TO?

I have a new Tilt (stock) I want to know if it supports 2 lines? Att phone reps said no, store rep says yes. I want to have my business line and personal line on the same phone - trouble is they are 2 different ATT accounts. Does anyone know for sure if the tilt supports 2 lines? Does anyone know how to mod the sim or the procedure to get a 2nd line from another account onto the phone I have a sim reader/writer but instructions are in hyroglyphics. Could anyone recomend a sim programmer that would do the trick or is the sim card id going to be the road block?
You can look into this solution:

the adapters that are being listed here will allow you to insert two SIM cards into the device, but only one SIM can be active at a time (so if you have SIM one active, even if not on a call, the second SIM calls/SMS will not show up until to switch).
The Tilt has the ability to accept two numbers but this is a network restriction. Speak to AT&T about MULTISIM or placing a redirect on one of the lines. That way you will have ONE SIM and will be able to accept calls for business and personal on one phone (even have the ability of placing one on hold whilst receving the other).
The only issue comes to your number - people can contact you using either the business number or the personal number. but when you send SMS or make a call, your number will be shown. You need to decide whether this is to be the personal or business numbers shown as you can't easily change this once it is setup.
As I say, speak to your network if the above is the option you are wanting, else go ahead with the dual SIM adapter if you are happy to change over to keep checking for new SMS and voicemails.
Thanks!
I will try out the forwarding, my problem is that my personal line is for another business - I want to be able to determins the origin of the call (ie: from buiness 1 or 2) so I can answer correctly. If I do the forwarding I'm not sure on how to identify the calls. Would it make more sense to port one of the numbers to a land line and then forward it to the phone so when a call comes in it will show the landline caller ID and I will know to answer abc company rather than xyz company? Thoughts?
i think your idea on the divert to landline then divert landline back to mobile is good.
just remember about answerphones - you want people to know they've reached the right place, but don't want to give them the wrong number or name! maybe change your mobile answerphone to "hi it's Bob, please leave a message and i'll return your call" (or whatever - just no number and no business name).
also keep in mind that divert costs. so if i was to telephone you, I pay the normal fee but you pay for the cost of calling your landline from your mobile, and then the cost of calling the mobile from the landline on your home bill. Effectively you would be paying for TWO calls for every call you received.
Why not just divert straight from line 1 to line 2? Then you just pay for call forwarding from the one line?
Hope some of this is helping you

This is a great idea. Has anyone here tried this on a Kaiser?

G1 Problem

Hey Guys, Need a little help!
Ok, I bought a G1 from eBay (I know I know bit risky!). Recieved it today, put in my Sim card (Orange UK), and it's opened up into the setup (login to gmail blah blah time settings), got into the phone mode, but it's not picking up any network on my SIM card
I can get internet (After inputting the APN settings..)
I have looked on the "About" status, and noticed the telephone number is: 07********58622#
I don't know where the 622# is coming from, because it isn't my phone number!
I go to the Network Selection, Choose Orange, and it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
Any idea's?
when you call your number does your phone ring? and can you place calls with your real number showing up? if yes then i see no problem
Nope, I can't ring out, and I can't recieve incoming calls.
That number is on your sim card, not the phone. It shouldn't effect service though. Infact Mine was 00000000000 until a few months ago when some app wouldn't work because that number wasn't correct. Call TMo and say "google phone" when you get someone tell them you need your sim card updated.
Hi, thanks for that information, bit I have tried it in another g1 and everything worked as normal. Guess it's a hardware fault or a IMEI block
I have the same problem, and I donĀ“t find de answer

Why is imei important? How do I fix it

After I flashed hello bean I got th message about my imei, and when I checked it wasn't right, but I I can still make calls and my phone functions normally. I was just wondering why it is important to restore it and if you can point me to a thread that explains how to do it. (I have backups)
Thanks

IMEI is your phone DNA. It's what makes it unique to another cellphone. This is the number that is assigned in your provider account. If you lose or get your phone stolen they block this IMEI so people can't use the phone anymore since its tagged. If you modify your IMEI and your provider sees the change they can believe your phone was stolen/tempered OR you could get a IMEI marked as stolen and your provider will cut you off. The IMEI is also used for tracking in emergency situation. If they look for 3514856147 and your phone report a IMEI like 998775258 there won't be a match. The E911 can locate you via your GPS location as its sent on every call but your provider won't be able to triangulate your location to report it to the authorities with the incorrect IMEI.
This is why you need to return with your real IMEI both for your safety and keep your phone working.

[q] urgent help please

Today my phone was stolen out of my hands. Who do i have to call to get my imei blocked? The phone is Unlocked.
I tried to use Samsung Drive but it just says fail when trying to locate or find the phone.
Thanks for any help
for dive to work the option has to be enabled on the phone.. only then u can track it using the Samsung page
report to police.. may be they can give ur imei to network providers for detection
I had the service enabled for Samsung.
I guess the phone need data connection for it to be tracked. if is off or no sim then it won't be possible. may be wait for some time and check the dive page again.. but do report it
Also make a police complaint.
Not sure
Will i have to call Samsung to block my imei on the phone, or the carrier sim that was being used?
My phone is unlocked. I have also found the imei on the box.
Thanks for any help

why do you want to lock its imei. if you want your line to blocked so thief cant call from your line you have to call carrier and make your line closed and this one is a must.
if you want totally to block your phone so yes imei must be blocked but this can only be done with police complaint.

HTC One, can't call anyone and nobody can call me

I have a problem with my HTC One.
When i'm connected to H net, i can't Call anyone ans nobody can Call me.
It happens only with HSDPA. With GSM everything works fine.
Reonnecting mobile data solves the problem for 5 or 10 minutes.
In german forums it's a known problem, but nobody fixed it yet.
I'm on O2 Germany and i have an international HTC One.
Do you Know this problem and can you help me?
I' ve tested it with stock and custom Roms and with other radios. it's always the Same...

check if your IMEI is blacklisted. If yes then there is no solution.

Blacklisted? where? HTC? they said nothing about it When i called them.

The IMEI is a unique electronic identification number to track mobile phones. If your mobile phone has been reported lost or stolen or that the owner has unpaid bills, then the IMEI is probably blacklisted which mean the phone will not be able to connect to almost any carrier in the world (IMEI blacklist is international). Use the tool linked above to check if your IMEI is blacklisted or not. Hopefully it's not... If you bought the phone second hand then there is some chances your IMEI is blacklisted.
EDIT: NVM I tought you were not able to make call even under gsm. I have misread the first post sry. So its probably not blacklisted
my HTC One was new and is not blocked

is your phone set to auto switch? if I force my phone to "LTE only" i can't get phone calls either
*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto"
if i set that to "LTE only" = no calls
My phone is Set to Auto. with GSM only i have no problems. with other settings it's not working after some minutes
No idea? no One can help?
