Make HTCSense work on all handsets, please?

While I agree some form of technology intervention should be available when gadgets are forgotten somewhere or lost, this consumer behavior shows how spoiled we have become a tech customers. And don’t get me wrong Mr. Yuga – I am a forgetful person too. Let us keep trying in earnest to be less forgetful – that might be the easiest solution here. There already is technology that sounds off an alarm when you are 8-10 feet (can be configured) away from your gadget (used by some photographers to keep in stock of their expensive gears). But there is no technology that will help people really take seriously the task of not being forgetful. Yes we are all busy people. Unfortunately, not all of us can afford a platoon of secret service agents and our own Air Force One where we can forget anything and still get it back the next day or sooner.

besides from htcsense, you can also find the same features at windows live site. i guess this is available for all windows phone units. i already tried it. worked like a charm. wower!

If you have an android, there are some nice alternative apps like this in the market.

try Prey (http://preyproject.com)
or the simple Where’s my droid app(http://sites.google.com/site/alienmanfc6/wheresmyandroid)

may bayad nga lang per command.

lucky you, you still found your phone. lost my 3gs at a restaurant too. when i tried to call it, wala na, unattended. buti sau di pa inoff. i wish i could wipe out all data and pics on my 3gs remotely. hirap naman magreport sa ntc na stolen. sa quezon city lang ba talaga? na-report ko na sa globe kasi postpaid. sabi ma-lolock daw yun. pero marami akong nakikitang nag-uunlock. gusto ko sana pahirapan man lang ang nakakuha. grrr.

Ughh, HTC phones, cheap! I like Samsung better!

You can do this with several Android apps without having HTC Sense.

You can actually locate the phone via GPS through any computer on any Android device as long as you have the Lookout Mobile Security Android app. It’s a free app and all you need to do is to register. You can even make your phone “scream” through that app just to find it.

Or you can use the Phonefinder Android app and just text a code to your lost phone’s phone number and it will send your lost phone’s GPS location and coordinates on Google map.

It works as long as the GPS on your phone is on :)

sir abe, ano gamit mong cp now? me iphone 4 kdn? ano mas magandang gamitin or handset for u? htc hd 7 or ip4? thanks sa feedback.

Buti na lang you got your phone back.

If you’re using HTC android phones, there’s this really cool apps called “Where’s my Droid”
When you have this installed in your phone and it went missing and on silent mode.
You just have to text your phone with the line, wheres my droid (all caps). and your phone would ring to its loudest.
I just haven’t tried it if your phone is off.

It’s quite helpful though.

salamat naman sir nakita mo. napakamahal at ganda ng CP na yan. Sayang naman kung mawawala

Good to hear that you found it. I really thought you lost such a wonderful phone :)

HTC Desire user here. It doesnt work on my phone as well. Sigh*

Haha… I guess they realized that the customer was Abes of Yugatech, so they just “directly” returned the phone rather than getting a bad publicity!

Most likely one of the staff found it. If it were a customer, why hide it at all? He or she can leave with the phone immediately. It would also be helpful to eat in restaurants where there is CCTV.

stupid spam filter

Is GPS locator be accurate to less than several meters??

This is the first thing I did when I got my Desire.

I second the motion…
