may be your location service or GPS is causing this issue or google maps running in background.. force stop it from applications

Thanks a lot buddy, as i read the whole thread and some links i traced i got to know that it may be raised up by some malicious infected apps i've recently installed. Will uninstall them right now, and i hope the issue will be gone and there won't be a need for a full wipe.
Thanks again for your help.

Lookout is an excellent free virus scanner if you need it.

let us know the solution as well

Check your phone now! Android Device Manager

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.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

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.

Something similar. Is the Cerberus app worth it?

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.

Try it!!!

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!

I created a Tasker activity to turn on data and gps when it receives a text with a certain message in it. It also marks it as read, deletes it, and locks the screen. I can post it if you want.

this is stupid
you change rom, you must apply for a new code

Hello everyone,
I've signed up for the beta a few weeks ago and I had the good surprise to receive my code yesterday.
I launched the app but what a disappointment when I realized there wasn't any theme displayed in the app.
After some research it seems linked to dpi or resolution of screen. I tried to change the dpi but no luck.
So did anybody find the good combination to display themes on our razr i?

First of all even if it's FREE, it is forbidden as per Forum rules.
Second, it is one time use only and is linked to your e-mail and your device. Even Your own code will not work if you try it on second device (I tried on my wife's device - not working) Or if you change the Rom

I waited patiently, got my code. But after getting into the app, I can't fond any themes in the 'browse themes' section to install. Strange.
Anybody else facing the same issue?

Edit: The reason behind not finding themes was later realized as not keeping the screen in stock DPI. I reverted to stock screen from Expanded Desktop and Pie mode, making themes visible in the app.

Codes are only good for one time use and only on that phone.
This Themer app is essentially an exact copy of Buzz Launcher.
I just got my code and set it up and said "wow, this is an exact copy of Buzz launcher" without the hundreds and hundreds of quality themes. Not sure what to think of this.

Really? So buzz launcher started from a foundation hewn from some of the best designers in Android, was built from a crowdsourced site where people worldwide spend countless hours sharing their original works with the masses, provides detailed tutorials that assist any and all to replicate the same look on countless phones, with little to no monetary benefit, promoting app & widget development, and takes the next logical step in an evolving business model dedicated to the designer and user?
Pray tell, how did you make such a deduction, and upon what facts do you base this assertion?

So instead of buttressing your initial assertion as requested, you resort to backing it up with the self sealing of he whom questions thee is ignorant. And you lug in sarcasm for good measure.
As an aside, My Color Screen has many fine devs that love buzz launcher and rely on it regularly. I have nothing but good things to say about it.
I'd rather do no harm, besmirch none, hoping all the chance to prosper, allowing for choice and the market to ultimately determine what's best.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using inverted blue xda premium

this app is all misaligned on my phone, i'm guessing due to my lower DPI on my rom. It really makes it much harder to get the themes looking like they do in the sample photos. It would be cool if they could add an option to calibrate the theme based on the phone's DPI value

I have the same problem. Every shortcuts get out of place making the themes look pretty awful on my phone.

In my opinion, it's much better than buzz launcher. Buzz launcher requires you to do all the work yourself. You have to separately download widgets, and set them up.
Themer does all of this for you.

Hangouts driving me nuts

So, I am new to Android, just switched after having every single iPhone variant, and finally got fed up with Apple. I currently have the Galaxy Note 3 for AT&T. Its an awesome phone but I am having issues with Hangouts. I cant seem to send or receive MMS's without the app crashing on me. I have downloaded the update thru Google Play and it doesnt even give me the SMS options. Downloaded the actual APK and it seemed to work fine, until MMS got involved. I am about ready to throw this phone out of my 19th story window. I hate the Samsung stock msg app. It never seems to want to download any MMS's
PLEASE HELP ME
I would hate to switch back to an iPhone just because of these msging issues.
Thanks in advanced

U need to look in the hangouts post in the app part of forum. ..There is an update with the apk that works perfectly with a few little kinks.

Edit... Making own thread

Nothing here in UK yet.

Does anyone have the official changelog from Samsung ? Trying to decide if its worth a base update.
I have had a look at the firmware, doesn't look like any new features per say have been added.
In saying that tho, if its more battery friendly or what ever it may be worth the update,
EDIT: Perhaps even if someone could upload there build.prop !

No update for me either

@fOmey - Attached is my build.prop file. Just updated to ML1, Still running 4.2.2
I also upload the extracted apps as well if you want to look into them.
No changes from what I see. Everything looks and functions the same. Not sure on battery life yet.
Update. I noticed I downloaded the apps wrong. They are missing the odex files. I will re download them and repost them later today. (I will just grab the whole app folder this time and zip it for ya) Download new Apps from here - Zippyshare.com
