At&t officially starting to BLACKLIST lost & stolen phones - Networking

This is straight from the top. Basically if you put your SIM in a phone that is blacklisted, it will automatically suspend your line until you get another phone. I will try to get a copy of the memo up here at some point today, but the system is active immediately, so be careful.
MEMO:

Vzw is doing the same thing as well and sprint and tmo from my understanding.

The rollout of blocklisting has been pushed back for undisclosed reasons. It's still happening, but more time-sensitive resources are showing that the rollout has been temporarily paused.
Also, as stated in the memo, this will actually only apply to stolen devices unless the customer requests otherwise. In the case of lost, suspension is still the recommended action.

CDMA carriers have done this for a long time.

They are making a cross carrier list now from what I read somewhere.

Yep, CDMA carriers have done this with ESNs for ages. The big difference now is that by October the list will be compiled and shared by all carriers, and it'll work for GSM.
Also, as of today it looks like blocklisting is active at ATT.

We had our first example of this earlier this week. Someone came in with a phone they had just "been given" and a few mins after putting their SIM card in, their account was suspended.
He called in while in the store and was told he couldn't get it reactivated for 30 days. The only thing that I'm not sure of is whether the phone was blacklisted by the person who lost it or by at&t automatically when reported.. Still trying to figure that part out.

This has been brought up numerous times already.
If you're running HKTW 2.3.4 and are using the custom build.prop, you will get that same notification. The problem is, no one can download it.
the BIG question is...
someone will tap the "later " button when it's really out??

Do us all a favour and use search next time before posting. This is plastered all over the forums already. It's not like it's only been posted once before. It's been posted many times!

My sisters Atrix 4g was stolen?

My sister and I both have Atrix 4g's - and hers was stolen, but she didn't care too much because (being the spoilt little girl she is) already has an iPhone 4s not more than a week after getting it stolen...even after I told her it could be tracked.
She said if I could track the phone, I could have it - so I've been trying to track it via myMotoblur

This is all I ever get when I attempt to track it, I have the same phone and it always loads within 10 minutes.
I have a feeling it's off or something - what do you suggest I do?
Probably the thief didn't have a charger?
Hey, cool. Good luck!
Post everything that happens on here, if you don't mind. I'd be very interested in seeing how this turns out.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i'm pretty sure it's off until he sells it and the new owner turns it on.
What if they did a factory reset? Would that clear the blur account? I always used lookout or seek droid so idk... can blur track other means than the blur account being on the phone?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
A factory reset will make it impossible to track as it wipes the blur info.

I downloaded androidlost on mine.. its awesome..
If its lost/stole I can take pics with both cameras.. record sound off the mix.. make the alarm go off.. get the last 10 texts sent.. wipe phone.. ton of other stuff..
Since she already has a new phone on that line the SIM is now burned, which means no go on looking for it even with something like lookout installed.

Well an imei search by carriers or the police can find it, you just need the receipt with the imei on it. At least that is possible here in Europe.

It's possible in the states too, if you know what hurdles to go over and which hoops to go through. Very low on the priority list here.

if you dont do it within the first 24 hours, its probably wiped.
you could also try the app, Plan B - it uses the OTA app install to installer and get gps coords of your phone:

I bet she just wanted an phone.. I bet its sitting in her drawer with the battery pulled. .. lol
A girl had her phone stolen at my work, she contacted Verizon and had them track down the phone. The person who stole it was caught and charged, she got her phone back. Its all about how you talk to the cs rep.

[Q] Has anyone else found that Google wallet works on N7?!

Just for fun I decided to try to sign into Wallet. I didn't have any faith that it works since it doesn't work on my Evo LTE. Not only did it activate, it showed $10 in my account. What was interesting was that the $20 I loaded onto the phone does not show on the tablet. Obviously, it's device dependent.

I can't wait to look so cool at Starbucks by swiping my tablet to pay.
I read about the update but I missed the part where someone said it works. I have it on my phone and it doesn't work, despite being one of the features that was played up.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It should work. It was pushed out and can make payments without being connected to the internet.
As a matter of fact, I activated it on my gnex and I got the ten dollar credit. I used it with no problem. Today I got my Nexus 7 and set it up, and got another ten dollar credit. The gnex shows balance zero, the 7 says ten dollars. For what it's worth, if you set up wallet on a rooted device, there is a warning art the top of every screen that the device is not supported for security reasons. Everything still works fine though!

*Edit* White House set to reverse late 2012 decision to outlaw Unlocking Phones?

3/5/13 edit
The White House stated its support for a person's right to unlock phones/devices and use them on competitor networks. Hopefully we see some action to reverse last year's Library of Congress decision highlighted in link below. First, here's an article on recent White House statement.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2416194,00.asp

They do more to stop second hand phone sales than secondhand gun sales. I guess this kinda sucks.

Nah brah. Only phones bought after tonight.
source: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/unlocking-new-cell-phones-to-become-illegal-on-saturday/
I don't understand why they do that. I think they should do quite the opposite, to force the carriers to sell only unlocked phones. That would encourage competition between the carriers and ultimately lead to better prices and better service.
That is exactly what has happened here in Israel. All phones sold are sim-free by law, and also the carriers are not allowed to make contracts - you can switch between carriers without paying any fine.
Re: Illegal to unlock phones after tonight?
Get out of here with your logical ideas! This is 'Murica, the land of the free.

Cap'nO, I agree with you, and plus to stop unlock business on ebay.
Re: Illegal to unlock phones after tonight?
They are pushing to make carriers in Canada unlock their phones for customers at the same time it became illegal in the united states. Just make a quick trip across the border to get your phone unlocked legally and get some free health care and poutine while you are at it.

I wonder whats next? Maybe Rooting and installing custom roms are going to be ilegal in the year 2020 Sometimes I just don't understand the United States

Nexus 7 LTE is appeared, some online store send a LTE version wrongly to a customer

It is very interesting.
According to a Chinese forum, one customer supposed to received a 32GB WIFI version,
But when he received it, he is shocked by seeing a signal icon on the back of the out case.

}
And he is confirmed, it is a cellular version,
According to his description, he bought it from taobao (which is equal to ebay in the US), and the seller said the device is bought from the US, so
maybe some stores like bestbuy, staples or amazon wrongly sent a LTE version. That means the LTE version maybe is already in their warehouse, what they wait is Google's permission to release it.
This remind me that, on July 26th, when I went to Bestbuy to in-store pickup the New Nexus 7 16GB WIFI, they gave me a 32GB version, but I told them the truth....:good:
If you found it is interesting please thanks me......
