Does anyone know if cerberus works on Jelly Bean? Android Lost does not.
Anyone know of a good one that does (other than the 2 I like)?
Cerberus seems to be working fine on my N7
Thanks, I'll try it when I get home.
Prey works good on all my devices.

Cerberus 2.2 works fine on JB. I am using it on my Galaxy Nexus with JB 4.1.1 (N7 still on pre-order). Two 'issues' that I (and others) have found with Cerberus 2.2 (latest release version) are -
1 - If it takes a picture when someone puts in wrong unlock pin / password, it mutes sound and does not unmute it, and if you try unmute it, it does not 'stay' and requires reboot of phone
2 - Sometimes, after it takes picture on wrong pin / password, it does not send it to you.
The programmer of Cerberus gives GREAT and QUICK support and has already made 2 test versions in response to these issues. I am using loatest test version (Cerberus 2.3) and it is working great now. Thing I also like about Cerberus is that you can get a version you can flash using CWM, so it becomes part of your system, so even if someone steals your phone and does a system reset on your phone, Cerberus stays installed and accessible remotely.
Well now, it looks like the first thing I will buy with my 25 gift bucks is a license to Cerberus XD. Thanks for pointing it out, I've been using seekdroid on my phones but this app looks much better.

Android lost works fine on my Nexus 7 but it knocks my phone out. It won't work on both at the same time.

Hmm, Anti-Theft on a tablet is a bit more tricky... especially in a situation where your tablet is stolen, it's very likely it'll go out of WiFi range. So Anti-theft apps have no way to report its GPS location online or via SMS. And the theft would not be able to change WiFi networks either when using a security locked screen.

I don't lock my tablet for that reason. Using Cerberus disguised as system framework I would wait until they switched to a different wifi network, and they will, once they are at an actual house I would remotely password the screen so I could get a couple of pictures. I now have an address and a picture of the person. Even if they data reset the tablet it will not uninstall cerberus.
Even if it isn't the persons house you know they know that person, and go from there. I also don't keep anything too private on my tablet so i don't worry about a stranger getting into it.This is the best method I've thought of for tracking down somone with a wifi tablet.
I use webroot for antivirus and antitheft.

Anyone else use this? I used it a while back for my N1, tested the remote auto-enable GPS, siren, lock, etc and they all seemed to work great. Haven't used it since though and just decided to fire it up and get it set up on my GNexus.
Think it's worth using or just a waste of time?

I also just signed up with Cerberus. Thanks everybody!
I just "Attempted" to sign up with Cerberus last night. Paid for the app through Google Play, still haven't activated my device, and nobody is answering my e-mail to let me know what is going on. We'll see how it goes.
I've never in my life lost a phone, or misplaced it for that matter. I just figured, with Avast! being free, "why not?" have a safety net in case I lose it.
Set it up with my wife's phone as the "trusted" number so if it gets lost, I can track it
Cerebus is probably better but I don't see the need to pay for something like this, personally.

I've worked inIT for years and one thing i noticed with virus removals. They came in by the bunches with eset, macafee (sp) Norton, etc all paid subscriptions. The least infected computers I've seen were all running avast free. My personal laptop has never been infected. Recent, avast on my phone picked up malware code not only in an app i downloaded from the play store (koi pond live wallpaper) but it also noticed the same app/malware in my mybackuproot compressed back up of the app.

I can also vouch for Cerberus! Just make sure you don't restore it through titanium, it causes problems
My apologies for gravedigging, but...
I have avast installed currently. Has anyone actully used either of these to recover a stolen phone?

I use Cerberus as well as Avast. Cerberus anti-theft is much easier to re-enable after flashing a new ROM, so I just turn that feature off in Avast. There doesn't seem to be much virus activity in the Android sphere yet, but Avast has a nice firewall, permissions snooper, and some other things. Saves me from having to install a few separate apps that cover the same territory.
Haven't lost my phone yet, but I've seen posts by people who have recovered their phones using Avast, and others using Cerberus.
hi all
not sure if this is the right thread, but i also installed the avast anti-theft on my note 10.1 and my wife's note 1.
the problem is that i already un-installed the avast program. using the application manager, also using the titanium backup to remove it.
apparently it is still there. i just recieved an sms from my wife's phone that a new sim was inserted and all, but she informed me she just turned off her phone. no sim was removed or anything.
now this would just be irritating if we are in the same country, but right now she is using her roaming number and that number is sending back these messages to me.
is there any other solution to totally removing that notification? i am worried that when i follow her there also and have my sim be on roaming, my Note 10.1 would also be sending these messages everytime I turn off my phone or remove my sim.
any help would greatly be appreciated, as this has been already going for 2 weeks now. i am afraid to look at the bill on her mobile number.
thanks guys.
sorry for the long post.

You may need to check settings/security/device administration and see if avast is still there. Avast hides a secondary app to prevent someone from simply uninstalling the app if stolen and you'll have to disable the administration option to truly uninstall it.

I'm looking for a good security app that can track and remote wipe the Nexus without using text (since this doesn't have data), and is free or close-enough.
I used to use Wavesecure, but they got bought and changed their pricing.
Lookout only does remote tracking for free.
Prey seems to rely on text.
MyBitdefender costs, and uses text (as far as I can tell).
Any other suggestions? Decided to start a thread in the apps section rather than Q&A so we can compile a comprehensive list for others.

I'm using Cerberus, they give away free licenses from time to time, that's how i got mine wonderful app and I can use it up to 5 devices
give avast a try. it does all that and has options for rooted users. pretty cool app second to lookout.
Cerberus
For my phones I use AndroidLost... free works well....
For my Nexus 7 however, it didn't work because it is tied to the same gmail account as my phone...
I gave Cerberus a try and it works well.
Need to have WiFi connection to do anything with it as you can't text to it, but seems to work well.
cerberus. hands down.
it works on jb but has one or two small issues that have been fixed.in latest beta version.
as i use bt as my isp, i have installed BT Wifi app on my nexus. It auto connects to any bt openzone or bt fon wifi network. this means that with the amount of bt wifi networks out there, if someone steals my device, there's a good chance my device will be contactable remotely, even without 3g

Not for the Nexus 7. As the only way for it communicate with the outside world is via Wifi.
Issue is the lack of data. If you leave it in a starbucks and it's not on the wifi, you're screwed.
Ok, here's the issue I'm running into:
I use NFC to automate my phone profiles like a lot of us probably do with this phone (AT&T S3, using Samsung TechTiles w/NFC Tag Launcher app). Until yesterday, it had been working with complete and total reliability.
However, yesterday I decided to install the following Google Wallet fix to enable Wallet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083&page=114, <-- which by the way works like a charm
Anyway, since then, my NFC for normal profiles (Home, Work, Night time, etc) that I set up initially doesn't always work when I touch or swipe the phone over a TechTile --sometimes it works, other times it doesn't--. So, as often as not, I have to go into phone Settings and turn off and then back on again the NFC switch. At that point, it works fine once again, but having to go into Settings to disable and then re-enable the NFC function kind of defeats the purpose of having working NFC hardware (for regular use with profiles anyway).
Anyone else run into this problem or one similar to it?
P.S.: I have rebooted, etc. multiple times also and yet still, this issue randomly persists.
Any help is appreciated.

Wow really? No one else has installed Wallet and found that it broke their NFC for other NFC-related things (which by the way seems to be what happened)?

I did the update earlier - Still no go.
I've been running MM for about 15 hours now with no issues. Have not tried Android pay yet, but everything else works without any discernible problems. In fact: Android wear works better now than it did before; whereas on 5.1 it would constantly disconnect, now it doesn't even have a single problem.
Android Pay is no go here also.
Samsung Pay seems to be working.
With new loyalty cards feature added... it's not officially time to ditch Android Pay. It was disappointing since the day they launched
Neither Android nor Samsung pay support my bank but my experience with MM so far has been great. It feels like a brand new phone.
i have been running it for about 30 hours and have not had any major issue. the only minor issue I see is in the messaging app. if you hit the back button to exit out of a conversation and go back to you message list, it exits out of the messaging app all together. other than that, my phone is running twice as fast as it was before. my Bluetooth issues seem to be better as well.
After updating to Marshmallow, I can't seem to have my text messages preview on my status bar; that is, I do not see any words besides the little text icon. Is anyway else having this problem? I have ENABLED "MESSAGE PREVIEW" in the settings within the app, but still no go. Maybe I used package disable pro, disabling an app that interferes with it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Just tested Android and Samsung Pay. Both worked for me.
The only thing I may have done different was I shutdown my device. Entered recovery(power+home+volume up) and cleared my cache.
When I rebooted my cellular data connected to 4G instead of Edge and it detected new updates for the bloatware lol. Worth a try if you need Android Pay.
Just tried a few minutes of movie in Prime Videos and no issues here, Android Wear stayed connected too.

Yep, now that loyalty cards are in Samsung pay, I can now disable Android Pay completely. I have to say Samsung knocked it out of the park with their reverse engineering magnetic strips to allow our phones to work with the older technology.

A non-issue, or bonus, is that my battery life has increased a good 30-40% with this update - and thats without using package disabler pro.
So I have been having issues with my Note 10+ ever since I've upgraded to Android 10. Did pretty much everything from a reset to a factory reset and delete amd still having issues with smartlock. I have it set to a few devices like my work van, earbuds ,beats and home. I keep getting asked to unlock it when hooked up to any of the devices or at home. Also I've tried to update and delete each one but it still is not working. Even I have ticked when on body.
Wondering if anyone has had same or similar issues with Smartlock?

Yes!! I thought maybe it was something I had done myself. I have mine set the same as you, buds, UE Megaboom3, work and home and it asks me about 90% of the time to unlock using fingerprint or pin when connected or at these locations...very frustrating. Used to work flawlessly before Android10. I thought it was because I was using Nova launcher but haven't tested stock launcher.

Yep, same exact issue, nothing in smart Lock works for me. Not trusted devices or trusted places. It's just useless. I have resorted to using bixby routines to keep the phone unlocked in trusted places and it seems to work way better than trusted places ever did. But the trusted devices thing is still irritating.
Edit: Just wanted to add this is on numerous Note 10 pluses (always want to try out different. Colors and special editions, lol) and ever since installing the first beta version of Android 10.

On Android 9 smart Lock worked better than it did on any of my pixel phones which was refreshing. Location and device both worked flawlessly. But not any more unfortunately.
