Go into System Settings--->More--->Security--->Device Administrators and check to see if you have the new "Android Device Manager". I just got it today, never got notified of an update or anything... it just *appeared* there outta nowhere lol.
Here is a link to show you what it can do.
It is what it says it is, you can manage your device if it gets stolen or lost and remotely wipe it from the comfort of your own home/computer. There are a lot of 3rd party apps that do this (both paid and free) but it's always nice to see Google integrate this into our devices!
there for me as well, never look there so idk for how long/when.
Holy shizzz! Thanks a ton for this contribution. Never realized it or heard of it.
I tried the location feature, worked like a charm. I tried Ring but that didn't work.

got it too! location and ring both worked :good:
Just tried the location and ring and both worked... I would assume "wipe phone" works, but I'll just save that for later
Got it yesterday on my S4 and N7, ring and location works on both. Cool!
Hmm.. I have it on my HTC One GE as well. No idea when it came through.

thats the thing, it depends on remotely going into stock recovery to wipe the device, us rooted users may not be able to wipe
It was very buggy at first. Wouldn't even locate my device.

I went ahead and tested it all out. The remote location works great, ring worked and remote wipe worked. Very cool stuff! This was with a converted HTC One to the GE.
Strange I cant get this to work with the phone but my tablet was fin (both rooted) I did disabled a few things from google framework tweaks, not sure if that's the reason.
They are doing a slow rollout. Maybe it hasn't been updated yet.

Yes it is worth it. They have a flashable zip that survives a factory reset. Its just a few euros and you can run it on 5 devices no matter which Google account is used.

The only way this works is if you keep data on. If you turn it off for whatever reason this service is pretty much null and void since you need an active data signal for this to work.
Does not work for me. Rooted/rebooted and I have the function, but it will not find my phone, ring, etc. I'll keep trying.
i have two phones and both appear on google play but it will only allow me to probe the first phone. changed the "visibility" to "show in menus" setting on google play, didn't make a difference.
edit: found this but i don't have that arrow option to select the other phone. anyone else?
Setting works on both our SGS4's. One rooted stock, one stock. Obviously didn't try wipe. TWRP on rooted so I'm sure it wouldn't work anyway. Nice feature, but you still can't beat Cerberus!

Downloading now. Going to try to flash it on Stock ICS (De-Odexed, Zipaligned, rooted) on a AT&T HTC Vivid. Will let you know how it goes. May take a while because I am going to do a backup first. I play Star Wars The Old Republic and use a mobile authenticator and the only way to restore it is to call them and answer a bunch of security crap then have them remove it so you can reinstall the app and re-add it to your account with a new serial number, so I'm not going to flash ANY new roms until there's a JB ROM (or, my 90 day return policy on my Vivid gets close to running out and there's no JB in sight.. then I'm switching to the One X since it's only $50 more)

Okay, it works. Well, except for the double take. I'm pretty sure that's been fixed in other versions, but I don't know if those work on the vivid.
I thought the voice didn't work at first because it would do the beep to let me know it was listening, and the chime when it found results but no voice. Turns out, the beep and chime use alert/notification volume while the voice uses media volume which I had turned all the way down.
So yeah, this works with rooted stock perfectly except for double take and saying "Google"instead of pressing the Mic

This is awesome! It seems to work really well. Voice search and response seems to work just great! Only "issue" so far is that the responses give units of measure in Imperial, and being from Canada, I expect metric. This isn't an issue with the port, just with Now itself I guess.
Anyway, love it! Thanks for the hard work of all Devs involved!

Has there been a version released yet where the search results scrolling doesn't stop dead, with no follow-through? Waiting for that to get fixed before I try it again -- it drove me crazy.
I have compiled a couple apps into it so it will actually write the apn rather than fail cause ics doesnt like the apn settings to be used by third party apps. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong with your phone you are doing all of this at your own risk.

Yeah, Ive had it on my deodexed .621/.605 rooted droid x for about 6 hrs now, its running smooth and in all honesty its the best ROM Ive ever used as far a WIFI connection goes. Every one I know that has the OG droid X had WiFi prob's including me, it always dropped you for no reason or on some Roms it wouldn't connect at all but I haven't dropped once since Ive been running this. I dont know what Kiladar did to this but whatever it is my WiFi is scared to break connection. :goodThanks BTW Kiladar):good:
As far as the rest of the Rom, it runs smooth and everything Ive opened or tried is working like a charm, the only thing that ive run across that doesnt work so good is the themes from theme chooser. It has a problem resizing the theme for my screen size but I dont think thats the Roms fault. You can still use them but not all of them will fit correctly (not so bad if you dont get the ones with writing on the background) I will see about getting you some screen shots when I have access to a camera. my GF is out of town at the moment and I dont have a way to take any pics but maybe ill try the mirror method and see if that comes out clear enough.
If you hold the power button you can take a screenshot from there just an fyi

AOIP meets Growl = The Best of Both ROMs
This is a port of Jb 4.3.1 Growl v5 (DarkLiquid/Smooth/Gaming/Battery) Samsung Galaxy W i8150 by @ipromeh, I am using @camcory’s Team Insomnia AOIP 2.0 (4.3) alpha for Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T679 as base. I didn’t make too many changes to the ROMs as i like to give credits to the original Developers, they put so much time and efforts to gives this, Thank you
This ROM has the Camera and Gallery working with no freezes
Everything else works from the original ROMs
Installation:
Please Backup your ROM using either TWRP or CWM (i use both)
Wipe Data, Cache…etc 3rd time is always a charm
Install Growl_AOIP_4.3.1.zip (If you have a better name please let me know)
Install Google Apps for JB 4.3
Reboot and give the phone few minutes to boot

Far as a name change, how about "GNAoIP" (keep the "O" lowercase and "gnaw" on AOIP instead of "growl" which is harder to incorporate into one name with AOIP).

Well I have to say this is pretty stable and fairly fast. Unfortunately some minor annoyances are too much for me, and the sad thing is it has nothing to do with the ROM but the android version I'm sure. Latest Viper works but doesn't play well with 4.3 IMO. You can get it to work with your music players but you can't get it to work with system sounds at all. So if this app is controlling sound you won't hear any notifications/ringtones unless you turn the app off. Tried a million things but nothing changes that situation. The other problem is that ad blockers like the one @BSDgeek_Jake comes out with don't work, although maybe Crossbreeder could do the trick but it is really for 4.2. The developer has been working on a 4.3 update for 3 months. This is what is so frustrating when new android OS are released, it takes FOREVER for everything else to catch up.
Anyway nice work porting this and anybody who doesn't need some of the things I need would be pretty happy using this ROM.

For me everything works great, looks like a great and buttery ROM, however most of the market apps wouldn't download for me including Facebook, what's app, Google search update just to name the few. What happens is download would start for a spilt second you would see the download animation in status bar and then stops right away. Play store would show that's it trying to download forever with no result. Please help.
I have reinstalled ROM, cleared play store and download manager app restated tons of time with no luck. Thanks in advance for your help.

I had trouble with Play initially, same problem you all describe. I just hit stop on the downloads while in progress, then started them again. They downloaded fine after that. Weird but simple solution. BTW a fix for V4 may be incorporating it into the ROM. If you decide to just ask @zhuhang first.

everything was fine for almost a month, but a few days ago, i noticed I was no longer able to connect to the play store.
I did all the "normal" things, cleared caches/data from play store, google framework, uninstalled my gmail account and re-installed it, downgraded play store, upgraded play store, tried the hosts file trick, even did a factory reset, and still no play store connection.
Even called Tmobile tech support, and got to the tier 2 folks, and they couldn't get it to work either, so they are sending a new phone tuesday.
Until then, I want to keep on trying to get this to work; I haven't unrooted with Supersu yet, figuring that rooting had nothing to do with this, since it worked fine for a month, rooted, but does anyone else have any suggestions?
Its weird; when I open the play store app, and type something into the search box, it will actually take me to the page where that app is, but when I try to download/install it, I get the dreaded error 927; when I back out, and just try to open the play store app, It doesnt connect at all.
When I try to send files to my phone from my computer, it shows "my apps", but when I try to send them to my phone, I get an error on my phone saying "failed to install" app..
Any thing else I might have not tried with this?
Thanks!
You dont have any battery saver apps going do you...because sometimes they can mess with network settings. Also that error 927 is a network error so you may want to start sniffing around your network settings. I have the tmobile flex so let me know if you need any settings.

no, no battery saver apps running, and I went through a couple of complete factory resets on my own, and with tier 2 from TMobile, plus they re-provisioned my phone, and even that didn't help.
Whats so weird is that when I type an app name in the search bar in the play store app, it takes me to the page where that app, and others like it get listed.
If I click on one of the app, it takes me to the download page of that app, and once I click on "Install", the progress bar starts, and it looks like its going to download/install, but then it throws the dreaded error 927 flag.
Trust me, I've been modding phones for many many years, and this play store stuff has happened to me before, but never this stubborn as to make me have to replace the phone.
Yeah that is weird. Well if you do figure it out post the solution. I would love to put the solution in the memory bank just in case.

Hey just thought of something....have you tried making a new gmail acct to see if that one will work? Another idea is changing your gmail password. Give those a try and see what happens.

Okay.

your idea of creating a new gmail account works!
Only problem of course is all the things I have purchased originally through the play store wont be accessible to me under a different identity..
Can you "combine" identities on the play store, or add others to your account so you can share stuff?
Thanks for the suggestion about creating a new identity! :good:
I'm still gonna try the replacement phone that t-mobile is sending, to see if that one works normally..
I'm glad it worked for you. I don't think you can share apps... Although that would be awesome!!

You can share apps in the sense that when you open up the playstore you can choose which account to use in settings and then download all your apps. I do that for all my daughters androids. Log
both in turn everything off from my Gmail account so that she doesn't get my email etcetera, and then log into the playstore using my Gmail when she needs paid apps and so on.
EDIT: Right after I posted this I rethought the idea and realized that may not work for you because your whole problem is that YOUR Gmail acct is the one acting up throwing the 927 error

you are correct....I did try your suggestion, and it actually let me download one of my apps, but, after that one is was back to 927...
You can try signing into the play store in browsers and send the apps to your phone.

Not the answer you want, but wipe these internal sd. I've had this before and that was the only fix

yep, I think I did the same thing in my Samsung Days..was so easy to wipe and restore...seems like a long time ago...
Fortunately, T-Mobile is sending a replacement phone today, so I dont have to deal with that..
If we had a custom recovery, it would be a non issue.....soon, hopefully!
just an FYI...
A new phone did NOT fix this; the only thing that works, is setting up a new gmail account, and using that to get apps in the play store..
There has to be a way to fix this; I wasn't happy re-buying all my paid apps again...

Get in touch with google customer service. This is obviously a problem in their end
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
thanks man, i didnt know/think they had actual customer service, but I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with them, and they are escalating the issue to their top tier dept.
I appreciate the suggestion! :good:

Wase, thanks for documenting your story. I'm considering the flex so I poke my nose into the threads. Just not sure I want to leave my note2. Please let us know what Google does for you.

I've done extensive searching on this and can't seem to find a solution. Brand new htc one m8 text messages almost always say they fail to go through, even if do in fact go through. A majority of incoming calls Will never show up either. I've missed several work calls already, can anyone just detail a fix?
Edit: for the record I just switched to Verizon a few days agoafter being on Sprint several years. I posted a thread there but one seems to know what they're talking about.

Any help would be appreciated if I can't figure this out I'll probably return the phone

You can also try #72786# menu reset and it will reactivate your phone try that and it'll usually fix it for me

If you have your msl code you can do ##data# and find the reverse tunnelling and disable it, that worked for me

Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work for me. This stinks. :'( I've also tried a ##72786# reset and that didn't work either.
Texting works in CPTB's GPE just fine for me though. I dual boot with MultiROM. GPE is now my daily driver because of this, and I leave stock Sense on there to update profile and prl periodically.
I also use the lONElyX Kernel.
Update: Installed the updated lONElyX #23, and now it seems to work. So, some combination of reverse tunneling and/or updated kernel fixed my problem.

It was mine. Texting is working now. I updated my previous post. I am not sure if it was disabling reverse tunneling or the new Kernel, but all is well now. Thanks.
I already ordered a replacement but i have a feeling this issue Will pop up again. Is there no fix without root?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
If you can figure out your MSL code, reverse tunnelling fix may work for you without root. But, I'm not sure that is the fix or if a new kernel was.
On a side note, I switched to CPTB's BeyondStock kernel and my texting still works.

So there's no fix without root Ugh it's so difficult rooting htc phones I was trying to avoid that, especially on Verizon
