What a year so far. Son born on11.04.2012, proudest day of my life, only to learn that he has 2 holes in his heart that will need an operation this week. On his birthday find out someone at the hospital did a hit and run on my car so its badly scratched. Now while at the hospital my wife went to express some milk and forgot her nexus s in the room for 5 minutes and it was stolen. Had to cancel the sim report to police, get new sim card, change all passwords. Worst of all, there was over a thousand photos and videos that we spent the last few months collecting of our boy........ Gone!!!!!!!!!!! What the **** is going on with people today.
Rant over.

this can sound stupid but send a mail/whatsapp to the phone and explain your situation say that you don't care about the device but you want the pictures maybe the thief will get a bad feeling and will return the phone or send at least the pictures
Sorry to hear about the phone. I would friggin flip out. As far as the photos go... did you have Google+ installed on it? If so it should've saved all of your photos to your Google+ automatically.

Did you install a security app like Cerberus?
Maybe you can track it, if the thief hasn't reset the device, you can try to install plan b from the app store

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully your insurance will cover it.
Really should have had Cerberus installed. I'm sure the crook wouldn't know to wipe the device. I hear there's even free apps that do what Cerberus does now.
I do have cerberus installed so hopefully ill be able to track it.

It's really surprising that people still think any of these anti-theft tracking apps can do anything against the thieves. It's highly unlikely that you can pin-point the person who stole it with your phone's GPS/wifi/cell signal and moreover, he doesn't have to show you anything in his pocket or backpack. Yes even if you call the cops, they can't search the person unless they have the warrant.
@OP i'm sorry that you lost your phone. I hope you have the insurance.

Im not worried about tracking him as much as im hoping to get a couple snapshots of his face from improper unlocks.

That's good news at least. Interested to see how this plays out...
I'm assuming you already called the police? I would have told them the nexus 7 was stolen, shown them the box/receipt and told them I have tracking software installed so I would be contacting them again when I receive the signal. Maybe with all that info the cops would be much more willing to cooperate or at least let you know what your options are.

Out of curiosity, did you have a pin/pattern or face lock on the device?

Interesting that it's taking them long to show up to a home invasion. I guess since the criminal is believed gone, you're probably last on the priority list.

Not really. Hell, I installed Life360 on my wife's phone (she wanted to see if the creepy guy next door is a sex offender) and it showed her phone's location right down to the house number. So, could you find the perp in a crowd...no, but if the dummy fires it up at his job or home, of course you could track it. Cerberus also seems to install into the devices image, so a factory reset won't wipe it out. So unless the thief is really knowledgeable, there is a good chance he could find the thief if he had Cerberus. I know I'm getting it. Just bought a Galaxy S II for the wife and a Galaxy Nexus for myself...plus the N7 of course.

Obviously he has to play the waiting game. Hopefully the crook connects to wifi soon and reveals his location. I really hope the OP catches this guy.
any free software which can take pic of thief and send to ur email ?
who steal?friends,neighbour,friends of friends,roommate,
easy to find them if face shows.
sorry to hear man, hopefully you find out who it was

Apart from log their IP address giving the police a location and take a picture of the thief's face.
That's reasonable suspicion (probable cause) that the stolen device is at a given location which is grounds for a search.
Apart from that, you're right, these anti-theft tracking apps can't do anything :laugh:
Can't stand liars or thieves... with them gone. We won't have to worry about anti theft apps

My google experience
I pre ordered the google nexus 7 on the day the went on sale. One week after they started shipping i sent google a email asking them when mine would ship. I was told within a week. Two weeks later i call them to see what is up. As at this point my account was charged for the device. They tell me shipping any day. Two days later i see on my wallet account as google nexus 16 gb ORDER CANCELED BY SELLER.
So i call google back and ask what is up. they said it was a computer issue. And that i would have to reorder. At this time they where backorderd for up to 4-6 weeks on the 8 gb . OUT OF STOCK ON 16. So i ordered the 8 gb version. After a week i received it. Two weeks later i start seeing lines on the screen when you hold it on the left side of the screen as well as the screen moving.
I CALL GOOGLE BACK . they tell me that I can send it back and DO A advance replacmeent exchange. I tell them im not having my money put on hold. I will send it back in a few weeks and just reorder another device when they receive it.
So i decided to just order the device and send this back into them when i receive the new device. .
Its now the end of Aug the new device comes in the mail . It comes in with a CRACKED SCREEN . SO not 30 minutes after usp drops the device off i call GOOGLE YET AGAIN. TO GET A RMA for the brand new replacement device. I GET THAT JUST FINE.Send google this device that i only had for 30 minutes in my posession. still at this time holding on the original device as its still working . you just cant push on the left side of screen. GOOGLE Recieved the device on the 5th of september. Since then i have had several phone calls and exchange of emails. Being told that the device i sent them back was the original device and they WOULD NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR REPLACE THE DEVICE. STATING THAT i would have to prove what device i sent in. They have it so i have no way of doing so . Other then they can see what device is being used and connected to my google wallet. They understand and can see this so im told. But still refuse to help me in any way. So now today on 9/27 I contact them for the last time and demand i get a RMA to send the original device back to them as proof that it was not the one they keep saying they have. SO NOW GOOGLE HAS ALL OF MY MONEY BOTH OF MY DEVICES . AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME AS A CUSTOMER

my free dropbox ran out that i got when i purchased my S3 and i would like to get another 50 free. when i setup the phone the first time i made the mistake of putting in the old email address instead of a new one and now i can't find the promotion again. i looked in the galaxy gifts area but now it's gone. any way to reset that? i uninstalled the update to galaxy apps and cleared the cache but it's still gone. i also signed out of my old dropbox account on the phone but still can't find the promotion. really don't want to factory reset after setting this thing up for 3 days.
My ran out also. I used my same account and got my 50gb for another two years. You should be able to get it back

What I don't like about google drive is it is not integrated into many if the apps like drop box is.
NOTE 4
I had the same issue and im not showing a promotion. I figured it would be official on the 17th. I dont know though. no promotion for me as of yet.
I remember reading that you would get the dropbox promo after signing in to the Samsung Apps or Hub.. (something like that). Looked like there were quite a few freebees in there.. worthless or not, the dropbox is a good deal.
I spent two hours with "AT&T CUSTOMER SERVICE" Wednesday night trying to get them to activate a brand new sim card I had them mail to me in November 2014. So if anything ever happened to my Nexus 6, like the charging port being so loose, that I had to have a wireless charging pad two days shipped to me, because my Nexus 6 wouldn't accept a charge anthing cable or chargers. I tried over a dozen. Two hours and they were unsuccessful. They have my att. net email account wrong that I have had for almost 6 years wrong. So she couldn't email me the pin verification. I spent four hours yesterday at a friend's house using their cell phone, landline and computer, had my real att. net email address open and went through four different agents that for one reason or another could not get that sim card verified or the last guy said "he wasn't going to risk his job and my security, (lol), and activate my sim card when my sim card number isn't even close to the number the same unused brand new sim card AT&T sent me in November, so I could switch back to my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I got the same girl that tried to help me by using her cell, her new Samsung tablet for the first two hours with customer service drive me to another an AT&T Store, a 60 MILE ROUND TRIP. I walked in told the manager about the six hours of the frustrating unsuccessful attempts to get this S4 activated. He took the back off, popped the battery out, scanned the IMEI, put the battery in it, put the back on and handed it back to me in about two minutes and powered it up and said that it should work now. It did. I told him that I bet you could train two monkeys to activate sim cards, it's not THAT complicated. I used to switch cells back and forth all the time years ago on Verizon. Why doesn't AT&T have a set up like that? That works?
I need to send it back to Motorola, so they can send me a brand NEW Nexus 6, instead of AT&T sending me a refurbished replacement that I am paying $750.00 for? A cell that now sells for less than half what I am paying for this one.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for any help or answers in advance.
From what I have read you can't flash a zip of the factory image and make TWRP and SuperSU and Busybox without being able to connect Nexus 6 to a computer using a usb cord.

nope. the only real way to "unroot" is to flash a factory image, make sure that you boot, then lock your bootloader.
