IPhone :: Tracking Lost Device Without Internet Connection
May 5, 2012
Is it actually possible to track iPhone without internet connection? I mean, the iPhone which I am tracking has no internet connection... (Example, has been lost in a foreign country and the roaming data is not On) Anyone has an idea how to do the tracking?
I recently had my Bold 9900 stolen/lost, although I have now purchased a replacement 9900 I want to try and track down my old one as it is not a cheap device. I still have all of the packaging of my first phone so therefore the IMEI / PIN etc. I have reported this to my provider (China Mobile) and I have a new account setup on my new device.I have sent a bbm request to my old phone hoping to get some contact but my joy, I am asking friends who have my old PIN as a bbm contact to try the new 'owner' as well. Is there any way I can find the mobile number of whoever is using my old phone so I can ring them? (I understand it may have been sold on but has only been 3 days since it was stolen/lost) or tracking the device? (I did not have any tracking software on the device at the time it was stolen).
I added international calling to my AT&T plan. It lost the ability to connect to the internet via the AT&T cell network, although it could still make phone calls, and could still connect to the internet via a WiFi network.After three weeks of attempts to fix this myself, I eventually called AT&T. The tech support people were very friendly and helpful, of course, and eventually discovered that my cell-to-internet privileges had been rescinded because they thought someone might have stolen my phone.
I want to download an App for my iPhone. It keeps timing out saying the internet connection was lost.. but my internet is working just fine. Similarly I can't just download it from my iPhone via 3g because it is also saying Internet connection Lost. help.
Last night I tried to update my software on my Iphone 4s. I lost internet connection during the night, and now my phone is stuck with the apple logo and loading bar. I cannot turn off the phone, or back it up because ITunes says it is locked with a passcode.Â
suddenly, friday of three day memorial holiday iphone internet connections are off or down. can no longer do search using bing, google or yahoo. debug console "no errors" error i get is "cannot open because server stopped respondig." i have had times could not connect to Internet ( i now appear to have lost Internet favorites that were there yesterday. itunes and app store connections fail. yahoo weather and the weather channel has also failed. ap and my yahoo have failed. facebook and pandora have almost always worked, well i think pandora failed once. i checked carrier, i never changed anything like this and all are correct.i do not see dns options.i have had this 3g version 4.2.1 for years now without this problem. i did not travel out of country in fact have not left present location. i may have deleted a datatbase in safari that were old. i reset network connection, shutdown phone some things may work for a while but there are still features in safari that fail such as search. did i pick up malware>
I'm just looking for a reliable app, preferably without a monthy charge, that will simply show me the location of my phone on a map. It doesn't have to be uber-accurate -- the closer the better obviously, but if I know its last-known location in a general sense (a mile or less), it's likely I'll remember where it could have been lost that day.I was looking at taptrace, and some others, but all the ones I've seen got mediocre reviews. iHound looks alright, but I don't like the whole monthly fee thing. Also, I'm not going to sign up for mobile me just to track my phone.
I've lost all Internet capabilities on my C7; it happened two weeks ago when I went to the middle of nowhere and had no reception whatsoever, upon returning to civilisation the normal phone reception returned fine but the Internet and email will not work at all - it won't pick up previously recognised wi-fi networks and won't connect through my WAP either.
It has happened before but always came back within a day or so, but as said this has now lasted two weeks and absolutely nothing.
Had Playbook since last spring. After updating to 2.0, can no longer connect to any internet - Wi-Fi, Blue-tooth or BB Bridge. Error message is 'connection has timed out" or can not find connection when sitting in known hot spot!
I have recently bought a Nokia 5230 (v 20.0.005) and I have tried to connect it to Ovi Suite. No problems using Bluetooth. However using Micro USB cable when I try to do a Backup or Update the software (problem is also on Nokia Software Updater) it says that the USB connection to the Device is lost and everything fails.I am using Windows 7 64bit (cable is a Standard USB cable)
I am with orange and I have 500MB data per month. When I try and use the mobile network internet it says 'This is a WiFi service. Please ensure your device has an active wifi connection and try again'. Why is this? Also, when i try to update to 5.0 it says I need a data package but it worked on my old phone. And because of this I can't download the app world. The signal goes to SOS a lot as well but I think my house blocks the signal. Currently it says 'gprs' with 2 bars beside it.
I've upgraded my 3 to a 4s today, and in the 02 shop the guy fiddled with my internet on my old phone and did something with the sim, and now i've synced my new phone and can't get internet connection.
I am connected to Wi-Fi but unable to connect to the internet like FB,Yahoo or other websites. My sister used to connect to wifi but now that I am using her handset, I cannot do so.
My daughter has bought today a new Torch 9810. She has entered a new device password. After a few hours she tried to enter her password, but she forgot her password.
After a read of some internet groups, the solution is simple, just type 10 times your password and the BB will restart. I know that all data will be removed, but that is no issue.
Unfortunately the BB will not restart after I retype for then times the wrong password After the reset it starting with a White screen, with a sort of document icon. Within this document icon, appear a lock and cross sign, beneath this icon there is a counter with is repeatedly showing from 0 till 100% and then start over again.
I've tried to disconnect the battery for at least 1 minute, Put in a different sim card, let it run for almost one hour, but nothing seems to work.
After jailbreaking, among loosing FaceTime and MMS, I now notice that I lost my AT&T Cellular Data. I tried restarting and resetting my network settings. I can't restore because I am not home and I do not use my MacBook for backups/syncing my iPhone. Anyone else have this issue?
this past week for whatever reason my phone stopped connecting to the edge network and needless to say it sucks not being able to get on the internet on my phone.jailbroke 3.1.2 3gs with black rain. worked fine for over a month no problem and i didnt change anything when i lost internet access.could this be an issue with the jailbreak or is this something i should call att about?
Anyone Else experience a slow down in the iphoneor a lost 3g/gsm connection randomly?I and my wife both have found that our phones are unresponsive when trying to select the camera feature. - eventually it wakes up/ lets us use it but the moment has often passed.It all seems to have happened since the latest ios 5.1.1
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, lost gsm/ 3g connection, Very Slow!
My 5s iphone with ios 8 is lost. I tried find my iphone and it says that my iphone is offline and I tried calling it but it doesn't work. I know there's the option on your phone that sends the last location to icloud but I forgot to turn it on.
I'll be in Europe for two months and will be taking my iPhone 4 although I don't want to use the phone or data. Is the best way to ensure I won't be using the cell towers is to activate airplane mode and then turn Wi-Fi on? Or is there a better way to be allowed to use Wi-Fi but not the cell towers?
More importantly, I want to be able to use the Navigation program (just the standard one that iPhone 4 comes with) to navigate my way around on foot and in the car. Can this be done exclusively over the GPS satellites? Is there a way to download the maps to the phone or will I need an internet connection to have the maps?
I own the Iphone 4S black, 16 Gb. Today was the first day when it happened. All day long, my 3g internet connection worked perfectly, suddenly when I got home it stopped working. I switched off and on the phone - no success. I turned off the 3G function in order to use EDGE - on EDGE it works.
I am going away to India and we only have wired Internet in our office. I want to be able to still use my iPhone to send and receive data I don't want to pay roaming fees for this data Can I (either wired or wireless) connect and use the Macbook's internet connection? It is iPhone 4 (5.1) and latest Macbook Air?
