A "find phone" app other than "Antivirus" by AVG

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.

How to: Auto DND when drive with Google Play Services Note 8

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.
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

Developer options is missing?

I have scoured the internet for answers on why my developer options won't turn on. I'm running a note 8.

Hate to ask such an obvious question but, are you aware the developers option shows up at the bottom of the main settings page, just under "about phone"?
Failing that, if you download this app from the Play Store, it should hopefully give you access to developers options menu, seeing as you have already enabled it by clicking on the build number 7 times
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=options.developer.com.developeroptions

I know where developer options should be, it's not there.
Also the app is telling me to turn it on

Did you tap on "Build Number" more then 7 times in about phone/software info.?
Keep on tapping it you'll see a toast message at bottom of screen counting down to 0 the it will say developers options enabled. Then back out of settings and reopen settings and scroll down to bottom. Might try rebooting the phone.
Worst case scenario is to do a BACKUP and factory reset. Not necessarily needed but who knows.

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"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"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!

Unknown application

When acessing the application list that can be put into deep sleep (Battery and device care menu) , at the bottom of the list there is an application which contains 2 chinese symbols followed by 1 (see pic below)
{
"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"
}
. The application isn't however listed in normal app list, even if I am selecting to be displayed also the system apps. What is about, please ?

Translates to "Starry 1"...Where did you buy your device? If it's from a Chinese seller it's possible it's been loaded with China specific firmware which I would expect to include various monitoring and reporting apps.

It was bought from the one of the official shops of Orange - mobile phone company. How can i get rid of it ?

there are apps on PS that help you obtain the full package name of installed apps. with the package name you can use ADB to disable it.

Tried with some suggested apps, but unfortunately this app is not listed at all. As specified in my first post this weird app is listed only when accessing the menu "Battery and Device Care -> Battery -> Background usage limits" where I can select the apps that can be put into (deep) sleep. But if am accessing the menu "Settings -> Apps" it is not listed even if I am selecting to be dislayed also the system apps. Very strange....

you could also flash unlocked firmware too the phone. using the home_csc file will keep your own apps and data intact.
or you could phone up Orange and ask to be put thru to their technical department. maybe you can email them a link to this thread. they might enjoy the mystery detective quest.

The application is not using any permissions whatsoever. So for now I put it in deep sleep hoping that it does nothing. Will keep searching the net for some more info about it
