Hi,
:crying: unfortunately, I have lost my S3 yesterday, and am trying desperately to find it.
before it was lost, I have already enabled in the phone remote access, so I was able to track it via find my device in Samsung website, I was also able to find it via android device manager. But since it was gone, I regularly try to find it but it says it's offline. the strarange thing is that a friend of mine have observed that someone has accessed to my Whatsapp account today, but after that when I have checked samsung website to locate it, it steal offline.
any thing that I can do please ?

Hey guys, sorry to bother you, but i seriously need some help here. i have a droid incredible (love this phone to death!), but i use it as a primary phone, which means flashing roms and playing with my phone interrupts my "text my special friend" time, so i decided to buy a used g1 from ebay! great idea hu? ...not really!
</bg info>
well, i received my g1 today, and i was so excited. i checked and made sure everything was fine, so i turned it on, when i saw that there was no sim :/. luckily, i had an extra sim that my dad used when he had an old nextel phone, so i decided why not try and popping it in... but that didnt work because the phone was not unlocked >:/, so i pressed the dismiss button, then the real problem came in... the phone was completely wiped! so that meant i had to "touch the android to begin", well i did and i thought i was fine until the gmail screen came up and i have no way to sign on to gmail! i cannot access my home screen on the phone! i tried calling tmobile and htc for an unlock code to see if that helped, but no, nothing. i dont know what to do, if there is anything you guys can help me with, please reply! i really want to use this phone! thanks for reading this, and sorry for wasting your time! ...oh, and please, no flaming!

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
It doesn't give me an option to connect to wifi. Ive tried hitting menu, then wireless settings, but it does not say anything about wifi :/
is there any way i can get my phone rooted without having to access the homescreen? any update.zips that help me bypass the "touch the android" screen?
bump?

Your going to want to downgrade the phone back to 1.0 if it isn't already, and then follow this guide to connect to the Google servers via WiFi.
edit: I'm a new user, and not allowed to post links. So go to Google and type "G1 login to Google via wifi", it will be the first link you'll see. Make sure to first downgrade to 1.0, or else it won't work.

How do I downgrade to 1.0?! Lol, I'm not really sure how to find out if I am on 1.0 or not :/
It's basically downgrading back to RC29 (US G1) or RC7 (UK G1). Just search and download the DREAMIMG.nbh file and put it on the root of your SD card. Then go to bootloader mode (camera+power), and flash it. Restart phone and you'll be on Android 1.0.
Here is the link if you have a US G1: http://www.multiupload.com/9593XFAEYL
PM me if you need anymore help or if you're stuck.
Hello everyone,
I have given up on this, been searching for almost 2 hours all around google and xda, none of the solutions posted to my problem have worked and I do not wish to factory reset, as I have also read that its not sure it will fix the issue, it might end up leaving me with no apps whatsoever - in an even worse scenario.
So here is the problem, my Google Play Store stopped logging in. "No connection, Retry". When everything else worked on my WiFi. I have tried the following fixes, none worked.
1. Cleared Cache on Google Play Store.
2. Checked if my date/time was correct, it is.
3. Restarted phone.
4. Checked if my Download Manager was on in apps, it is.
5. Removed my google account from my phone, in hopes of relogging.
And then it wont relogin at all. Telling me "Cant establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care".
So now I am stuck out of my google account. I read adding a hashtag behind the ip in hosts file has worked for some people, but my device is not rooted, Root Explorer wont let me do anything to that file, not even open in Text Editor. I also do not wish to root my device if it ruins my warranty. I got it about 2 weeks ago.
My phone has the following specifications.
Build: 10.1.1.A.1.253
Android Version: 4.1.2
Model: 6602
Any work-around would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Did you try to repair it via PC companion?

Hi guys, I am buying the gear, and although I do not have the note 3, just the S4, I don't care, the update is coming soon and loving gadgets, I just couldn't resist.
- Having the s4, will gear manager be available to install ? (although probably not working correctly ) I read people use it with s4 with limited functionality and was wondering how.
- I read about side loading. Will I need a proper phone for that, or will it still be possible using APK leecher directly ?
- Lastly, I guess I should root it if I expect to use any of these options...?
Thanks,
Can't wait

Hi,
- Gear manager has been updated few times "once a week" recently... so give it a try - I am on NOTE3 so I am not sure but read the threads here..
- for side-loading etc - is is all written here - get wondershare mobile go for android (free version works for 15 days...) and read the thread "Tutorial - Rooting/Nova/ATN..."
- for the third point - to side load etc - read point two tutorial..
I rooted my S4 and put an Android 4.3 ROM in. Download Gear Manager and it was working.
Note: Gear Manager won't work without Android 4.3

Gear works approximatively with a S4 under 4.2
Gear Works perfectly with a S4 with 4.3 firmware (no root needed, just update via Kies if proposed, or via Odin)
To install APK, use wondershare. It s easy to do
Root is very easy to do and the gear continue to work correctly. It will help you to proceed at some modifications where a rooted watch is needed.
I have the Gear up and running also on my Note 2. It is running smoothly. I haven't rooted yet. Not to good with adb yet but I have been thinking about it

received gear, issue I am having for now...
I received my gear. Issue is that since I am in Canada (fido), I downloaded gear manager but it says that it is unable to use this software since the phone (S4 ) is not yet supported.(expected that)
So I am stuck at the NFC connecting screen and don't seem to find a way to get around it ?(didn't expect that though ..lol)
So is there another way to go about it for now ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try an older version of gear manager (check link in my sig)
Yeah you need a older version. I had the same problem as you with my s4. But I had a 1 hour drive back from best buy when I got my watch and found the older one during my trip.
I have the apk but I don't know how to upload it on here.
Xda says I don't have sufficient access to upload files for some reason. Maybe I can email it to whoever needs it. Pm me with your email and I'll send it to you.
I also have a working watch styler apk I can send you as well. The one in the Samsung app store wouldn't work for me either.
success connecting
ok guys, used an older version and i am connected. On to exploring and I'll post back with any progress on what I am able to do...
Thanks for the suggestions
UPDATE : Rooted the phone, all is good. Tried to install ATN but after I do, there is no option under security settings to enable ATN notifications. Notification access section does not exist at all in my security section ? What gives ?
UPDATE 2: Realized that probably gear is not rooted. I followed all steps fine but when I reboot and open explorer, it never asks me to grant access to everything. When going to data, it says it is restricted...

You need android 4.3 for the notification access.

Call them quickly, report the problem, and quickly return it..If this is not done, they might try to say the cradle and the power are missing and might not give you a full refund. Report it quickly..
Let us know how you make out too..

Hi,
I've bought today a Lumia 930. But there is very serious problem with it... I can't connect to the Onedrive. It shows me, that I haven't internet connection and try again later.
I tried to do some hard/factory resets and login with three different microsoft accounts, but it doesn't work.
See some pictures please in attachment.
And one more thing with my broken 930... I can't do backup - "Wystąpił błąd, prosze spróbować ponownie" means in my language: "An Error occured. Please try again later".
Is it some kind of serious software bug, which I can only fight with warranty?
Could you try to help me, please?
Greetings,
Peter.
I see you're connecting via wifi... Are you sure your Wifi has internet access? Can you browse the internet OK?

Hey, of course yes. I should be an idiot to post on XDA, when my WiFi simply doesn't work.
It's problem only with Onedrive and backup copy.
Now, I'm trying to do a recover via "Nokia Software Recovery Tool". It's very last chance for this phone in my opinion.
Greetings,
Peter.
EDIT: This method doesn't work for me. Onedrive error is still there.

I had to ask... You'd be shocked at how many people just don't check the basic things...
Which leads to my next question!

Have you verified that you can sign in OK from other devices?

Of course I've verified. From windows7 and from another Lumia (520 exactly). It's very serious problem, because this Onedrive and backup are key feature in WP 8.1
I suggest then, that you take it back to the store and swap it for another, and check OneDrive before you leave. I bought a 930 at the weekend, and OneDrive works just fine for me, so it's not a problem with the OS.
With such a new unit, it's probably not worth wasting time trying to debug it... Just swap it.

What country are you in? If you're in the EU, they're required by law to swap it within 28 days.
Hi!
Was checking my stash of old devices and was pleasantly surprised that the S4 Active ATT device was still working. Having some trouble with the play store though, it stops working 10 seconds after I launch the app so cant install new stuff on it.
So decided to root the device in order to upgrade android. So far I have tried towelroot and kingroot but both of them fail and give a network connection error even though the phone is connected to wifi.
Would appreciate it if I could get some help with this. Have attached the about info of my device here, kindly let me know if more information is needed.
Update: Used this resource to install Lollipop on the device, was a breeze to do and the device is very useable now. Can finally give the phone to my cousin's kid so she will stop pestering her parents for their phones. Rooting was not required which is fine as the goal was to make a device that a 6-year-old can use without buying something new.
