Found an IPhone 6... - Off-topic

Is there anyway I can get it to work again and have my daughter use it? I'm just stuck at the Icloud Activation screen. I already restored trough iTunes. But would like for her to use it. Might as well, you know. I found it in a parking lot. Thanks in advance.

Why not turn it in at the closest store to the parking lot? Or look at the phone details ...messages or phone log, find out who's it is and get in touch with them or a frequently messaged/called contact??
Anything....aside from keeping it and trying to get it to work. Cause they will likely report it lost and it will be blacklisted anyway and no longer function. Plus as it is, it's tied to their account.
Oh wait....instead of any of that, you wiped it it seems. So you basically stole it. (or at least did absolutely nothing to find the owner.....and wiped it to try and make it yours.....which you won't, cause it will be attached to someones account...and eventually will be IMEI Blacklisted. Please don't say you tried....cause one call or text to a contact and you would have tracked down the owner. You could have called the carrier to and reported it found.)
You won't find help on XDA with that. And I hope despite your actions....that if you lose your phone, wallet, or something important....a respectable citizen returns it to you.
Disappointing thread is now closed.

Blocked phonecalls - Says "Stolen device"

Hi everyone, i've had a good luck and i've found this device yesterday, but when i'm putting my simcard in, it says to me that phone is blocked and on the list of stolen devices.
Is there any way how to pass thru this issue? What is necessary to change? IMEI...

Thank you very much in case of any support...
Go into "Owner Information" and return it to the owner...
Best way to fix this problem

No... That doesn't sound like good luck, not in the slightest. That actually sounds more like someone sold you a stolen phone; or you found a lost one.
Either way, the phone has been blocked. It's no good as a phone anymore.

It's weird that everyones recommendation is about to give that phone back, but confess to yourself - if you'll be in my position - would you return that phone back?
Just wanna know if there is any way or option to get it running...

You are an absolute waste of ****ing oxygen. You are the exact reason people in this world go ballistic and end up doing mass murder. Please, for the love of God, do us all a favor and die.

Yes, because I wouldn't be able to get it working. What's the use in having something that doesn't work?
Either return the phone to it's rightful owner or, if the phone is branded (or it is obvious what network it belongs to) return it to the network provider. Or hand it in to the Police.
You are going nowhere asking people how to get the phone functioning again. Basically you are asking advice on how to commit an illegal act.
IT IS BLOCKED! THE ORIGINAL OWNER EITHER LOST IT OR IT WAS STOLEN FROM THEM. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RETURN IT!
And Mods - can you please either lock or delete this thread? Thanks.

OK it's obvious that i'll not find "appropriate response". So please be so kind and as of now - stop with all illegal stuff like burning of authorized copies, right?
There's no way you can legally use this phone, to do so would be stealing both morally and legally whichever way you cut it. You don't have to be "god himself" to distance yourself from a common thief, which is exactly what you're trying to be.
Immoral and unscrupulous

What's amazing is that you continue to post replys that make no sense at all...and its not because of the fact that your english is weak, its because you are unscrupulous and immoral.
Virtually all memebers here would in fact do the right thing and give the phone back. You should do the same.
Don't expect any help from anyone here in your ploy to keep the stolen phone.

Media Net "help me out"

OK guys i called ATT and told them i put my sim in another old phone and gave my tilt to my wife. They asked for my IMEI number and the number on the SIM....crap. I dont have a old phone laying around except one from a different network and its prepaid. I dont think it will work will it?? If any of you have a old phone laying around that you know you wont use anymore PM me the IMEI and make model of the phone please, if it works ill send you a little donation via paypal..
Double posting is a big no no....

OK seriously. I personally have answered this question in extreme detail at least 30 times TREO is correct double posting is a big NO NO. i serously doubt anyone will give you a IMEI there is a easy way to do this without a imei number, but you need to search to find out how. furthermore a donation to XDA-DEVELOPERS is better than a IMEI bribe. you use this website for free, it does not operate for free.
so do the right thing SEARCH and DONATE if you feel that is the thing to do
(sigh)...what exactly do i search for i tried quite a few times before posting this. I used the search probably more than half the people on thi site, hence my few postings. I have been on this site forever just decided to register this year though. I am not asking for anything crazy, just a IMEI i dont care if the phone is busted and doesnt work, ATT asked for the number and i can tgive them mine because a Tilt will pop up in the system. I said it before and 'll say it again, i'm no newbie to the site. And as far as a bribe how about i will donate to the site for anyone who helps me out rather than donating to you personally.
oh yeah sorry about the double post!!!

go to wireless.att.com and add the media net feature. DO IT YOURSELF
Or search "media net" you you can read the hundreds of posts regarding this matter.
what are you trying to do?
you just wanna set up media net unlimited for 15$?
when i set mine up over the phone, i just told em that i dont have a phone for it yet..
they knew my old nokia is not internet capable..i called from this phone.
i asked what difference does it make.
she said .. none..
that was that..

Is there an app that....

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude
latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???
It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend

Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.

I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?

[Q] I really could use some help please...

First off, I apologize if I come off as "noobish". I joined this site about 10 minutes ago. Anyway, last week I left my Samsung Captivate unattended (like the drunken fool I am), someone guessed my pattern too many times and now I'm at the "too many pattern attempts" screen and of course I do not have a Google account. From my understanding, after readin some threads on here, one of the solutions is to use the ODIN program to flash the phone, is that correct? And also, is there any possible way, via ODIN or some other program, for me to view my text messages before I flash it and lose everything? I would very much like to know the contents of the texts I've been receiving all week. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this, and perhaps help me out.
The too many pattern attempts only locks the phone for a set time. Sounds to me like you "found" a phone that you want help with. Why not take it to at&t and have them return it or ask them for assistance if you are indeed the rightful owner.
I can assure you I'm the righful owner. I left my phone unattended at a party and my fantastic friends tried guessin my pattern too many times. I'm now stuck at a screen where you have to enter your Google account. Like a dumbass I didn't create a Google account when I first purchased the phone. So now I'm locked out of my phone for good. And I've already been to AT&T. We tried the hard reset, and just does not work and they won't give me a new phone.
**** flashed with Odin and create a new Google acc or call art and said that u lost the phone and paid those 125 but u still can keep the phone u have now and sell it truogh Craigslist or some place like that !

So just get on a computer and create a Google gmail account. It does not have to be created by your phone. Once you have created your account, you can then enter your gmail ID when the phone prompts for it.
But I agree. Something is fishy with this story.

So its going to verify whatever he puts in there to a "blank" file, it won't match The point of entering the Gmail account is a second means of verification, if there is no account registered to the phone, it won't work.
His best bet is to return the phone to its owner.....the dead give away that it is not his, is that he has not had it for a week...who can go a week without their Captivate?
Agreed....return to owner

I think you are straight up lying. dude, att isn't going to just say "sorry, can't help you" if its really your phone. plus, Google account creation is (almost) unsurpassable when you insert sim card for first time. please tell us how you used market without Google account because im pretty sure its more secure than that(especially for situations like the one you brought here).
if its truly your phone, go to att tomorrow, give them the last four of your social security no. and they will be more than happy to reset your phone.
btw none of the people who use XDA frequently have ever come across someone who hasn't created a Google account for market use.
