[Q] What if I've lost my phone? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello,
yesterday someone at school took my sk17i. I asked everywhere. I will go to the police, but i have a question:
If i still can install apps on my phone (by google play(he didn't delete my account)), can i find him somehow? :<
The worst is i have been working on my first rom and i've wasted a lot of time for it :/
Thanks for your time,
Wojtek
P.S.
sorry for my englishhh ..

You could try androidlost.
Go on their website and log in with your gmail account that is synced to your phone. Login and logoff again and again until their will be your smartphone in control area. Now you could try to located it

:/
wait it works!

Can you install other apps? Or is your google account deleted on phone? Because if you can install apps, there are some other apps, too...
What about your carrier? Maybe he could search for your phone?

[Q] I am not able to log into Google Account...

Hi I just bought Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant a few days ago and unlocked it.
Now the problem is that I have not been able to figure out my Google account. Due to this, I have not been able to log into Android Market. So, I am sitting around doing nothing with my Vibrant as I can't download any app or game...
When ever I try to log in, it gives me the following error:
"This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
I am using Wifi to connect to internet. I have confirmed Internet access by browsing. I can access every site and also use gmail in a web browser.
I read somewhere that a hard reset may work, but that didn't work either. I cannot contact T-Mobile as I don't live in USA and have an unlocked phone.
So, I am in a pretty helpless condition, please help me figure things out in this wonderful world of Android...
Thanks a lot!

Why dont you install a custom rom and give it a try?
I am new to Android and I am not confident enough to try a custom ROM yet... I will consider it down the road but for now I need to get into the Android Market...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
Do you have a data package? Correct me if i'm wrong, I believe the first inital android account setup must be done through the network...
I tried with my network service as well. By the way I am not in USA and am using the mobile on a different network. I have used WiFi and Network EDGE service to connect without any success.
I never got the chance to setup my account for the 1st time the mobile was turned on, as I bought it from someone else (who most probably skipped that part)...
Its becoming really frustrating, as I use the phone for calls and messaging and that's all... I tried the hard reset but even that didn't give me the initial setup thingy...
Any idea or suggestion is appreciated...
Thanks a lot!
I had this problem a couple of times. It wouldn't sync with FB or Google. Then magically one day i had all of my contacts and all of my apps onmy phone, with out me trying to dl them. o_0
Its fairly easy to flash a rom. I was amazed by how simple it was, coming from a G1. I mean, download OCLF, it will root the phone for you. Then download RomManager and come on to XDA and dl the zip of the rom you want. Move into the root of the driectory, open RomManager and select the zip. Done. Of course certain roms require more work, but tis simple.

I have rooted my phone using 1-click root. But I cannot download ROM Manager as I can't access Android Market... If you can suggest some other way, I will really appreciate it...

You can always download on to your PC and copy it on to your phone and take it from there. Just google for Rom Manager APK
I downloaded this file: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.4-vibrant.zip
Its a zip file, now what should I do next? I really am new to this Android world and can't figure out the next step...
Please help me...
I have installed ROM Manager 2.5.0.4. But when I click on anything, it asks me to download CM Recovery. I touch 'Yes' and it gives error that maybe my phone is not connected to internet or I dont have space in my SD card...
I am now starting to suspect internet problem with my phone, though I can use internet on my browser... Besides that, I cannot open the maps application nor youtube or any other google based service...
I really dont know what to do now...

Gtalk and market issue

I change my gmail acount for personal reason. I delete the old account. so I wat to remove the gmail account in menu: Account& sync. But it told me to do factory reset. After that, I sign in using new Gmail account, but I can not download app from market anymore. And G talk can not start.
I already create some new acoounts to sign in but still cannot download from market.
I search web and every forum, but dead end. no solution can fix this problem. Every others just find like: email sync, internet, calling, sms, mms. Just gtalk and market.
I already go to SE Service Centre in my country, but they same can not help.
What can I do to fix? Can someone plese help me with this problem?
Thanks
sounds like you need to re-flash, try to backup your stuff, flashing may be a last case senario but its a strong option...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I see. Can you point me how to flash? Because I already try to flash few times. but no luck still not works. And I just update again just now and still can not download from market and open Gtalk.
Any better suggestion?
Thanks.
try to clear cahce & Uninstal updates from
setting >> Application >> Manage Applicatios >> Market
I am facing the same problem for a few days...tried everything from the little info on google that was available, nothing worked even not reflashing the phone
I am stuck on this..but just posted the issue on google help.
If i get some answers i will let you know
cheers
My brother has the same issue on his xperia x8, ive tried unistalling the market updates, clearing the data on all google apps. Tried factory reset and re flashed using SUES. Still the same issues, can`t download from the market and gtalk closes down almost instantly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yeah. so funny. My wife's x8 work perfect with her email or my email. But my x10 not. although I use her email and my email. So my conclusion... maybe there is something wrong with the phone. But I did not change anything just email and factory reset. and unfortunately my previous email already been deleted by me.
Now my x10 is so lame, cannot rooted and no more powerful app from market.
Please... if someone got the fix or accurate information, please post here.
(If someone ever post to fix by doing clear cache/update in application>market.....etc, I can say not work.)
Let's us all try to find the fix for this problem and discuss it together in this thread. Oke?
Thanks.

Since update to Android 2.1, I can not find "uninstall update" there anymore.
As I remember, sometimes ago, few friends experienced same problems, but this tips can solve the problem. But that time, my x10 never hard to download. But now, it is my turn. But the old tips could not help anymore.
Thanks.

yes. but it apeears: "username and password not match" (or something like that.)

I found so many same case with google. but still no logical explaination from Google or SE.
Tonight I try to flash back with this ROM 2.0.A.0.504 Generic. As I know this is the original rom for Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hope and pray this can help to fix the problem
Still can not download from market after flashing ROM.
Nothing fixes this problem, I tried everything possible....maybe it is an account conflict on the google server or something...This sucks big time

So you already recreated your deleted gmail account and use the same password and it still cannot run correctly? Have you tried to run setup wizard again?
Have you tried to wipe all your data?
I once wipe my gtalk data using titanium and I cannot access market because gtalk closely connected with market. What I did is factory reset my phone because original flash cannot work. It wipe all my data back to original nordic generic. Well just sharing my case. Hope it can help.

Multiple Google account on two SGS2

Hi guys, i have been using my google account only in my single device since last year, on HTC Desire and then on SGS2. this year I also have Asus Transformer. So overall is 3 device with my primary google account. Last week, i bought the i9100G version for my girlfriend, and accidently put my gmail account first and created her account. i cant remove my account without wiping that phone but we rarely meet due to hectic life so i dont have a chance to backup her stuff, and wiping it.
so my question is, if i changed my google/gmail account password, my phone and other devices will stop working with google synchronization isnt it? i need to login again on each device isnt it?
why i ask? if something were to happen, i dont want my girlfriend to open my account, cuz all of my credit card info is used to buy apps~~ and she has the option to use which account on the market to download her stuff. my purpose is to let her download my purchased apps, but not purchasing it by herself.
Yes it will work. IF you changed the password it will not sync in your girlfriend's mobile.

i see. thanks for the reply. so that means she cant do anything with my account if i changed my password right? including puchasing, etc...
BUMP. i really need the answer. cuz i may not be able to access the other phone anymore... forever.

No because she would need the new password to log back into your account again wouldnt she.

I can't give you a solid answer (though, would be interesting to know) but here's an idea:
Since you're using your Google account on multiple devices of your own, just change the password of it, and then try to access things from one of your other devices.
However the other device of your's will behave after the pwd change, your (ex?)GF's phone will do the very same.
Educated guess:
No access anymore after changing password.
Done. I need to re-enter my password on all of my devices after changing it.
I should have thought it before. Stupid me. Maybe cuz i cant think straight right now.
Thanks guys!

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

Galaxy S3 Stolen, Finding via Google Accounts?

Had my damn phone stolen, some prats smashed my window through and took everything. I've tried installing all of those tracking apps, but it seems my phones either constantly turned off, or has been wiped.
But I've had another idea! One day they are bound to use my phone, and set up another google account with it. I was wondering, is there anyway that I could find out what google account they use?
Thanks
If you've registered your phone in the Samsung account... You will be able to track it from the Samsung my account website..
Have you installed any third party app which provides phone tracking such as cerbrus or Avast? If you have.. It's gonna be a lot more easier.. Hope that the thief's haven't done a full wipe and a factory reset on your phone!
Hope you find your phone back!

they've probably wiped the phone and there's nothing you can do besides have the police track it by imei.
if they haven't, install Lookout Plan B

no. you can't find out anything after it's been wiped
PS don't ask any more questions in this section, it's against the rules
Yea I've been down the installing apps route, nothing so far. So I wont be able to see when another google account signs into my device at all?
Keep trying with Plan B, it's probably out of battery, at some point someone will charge it up and turn on. I'd keep trying everytime I had a chance for a week....
