QUOTE(arif48 @ Dec 14 2013, 06:57 PM) hey guys. my phone just got stolen. do you know anyways to find them? i've tried to call the phone but it was off. cannot used device manager either. Not trying to disappoint you but the next time you own a phone, my advice, Root your phone is a Must, flash the Ceberus with ROM Manager so that your phone can survive the Factory Reset. Second thing is, always with at least PIN/Password Screen Lock protected. and install with Smart Lock Screen Protector so that your thief wont able to power off/airplane your phone. At least with Nexus is non-removable battery, also if the thief smart enough to Hard-power off your phone using 10sec switch off method. Ps. Buy the Ceberus is very cheap and life-time ownership up to 5 devices.This post has been edited by NightFelix: Dec 14 2013, 07:23 PM

QUOTE(pu27 @ Dec 14 2013, 07:20 PM) It came in mail saying could not verify some details. But it worked in early November. I was ordering in the same way everyone does. VPN Billing address: Forwarder's address What's yours?Did google ship your order? Erm...Maybe billing address (credit card) and shipping address doesn't same so they refuse it? I ask my friend order at Australia. 30th November order, last 2 days already arrive. hehehe.

You're lucky having friend staying there & ship it to you. Btw, How much the total cost including shipping & sirim?

I don't think there is a useful way to retrieve your phone. As long as the guy power it off , nothing you can do. Having security enabled is best at least he won't be able to touch your data.

QUOTE(infernoaswen @ Dec 14 2013, 06:10 PM) Any advantages of using glass screen protector compare to something like spigen screen protector apart from it being more crystal clear? It's easier to install than plastic screen protector. And if dust gets in between it it won't cause bubbles. Also the one I bought is curved around the edges makes it feels better when using it

The thief do not need to turn on wifi/data. He just need to turn on the phone. Because with the new 4.3/4.4 Android have the new feature called WiFi always scanning even when your WiFi is turn off. So you still able to use ADM to locate it.

Images have appeared online detailing small changes to the new batch of Nexus 5 handset.
Based on the images, the Google Nexus 5 update has seen larger speaker and microphone holes added, while the sharp edge is said to have been smoothed out and users have reported buttons are now more secure and rigid in the frame.
