did you check your device on the play store?

See if anything new has been installed?

Is it still listed under your devices?

not sure, I have not used it before. I have a wifi only Tab2 as well, I guess I could throw a dollar away and see what happens

make sure to check your installed apps and if the device is still listed under your account. That might give you some indication on what is happened.

this might be an option too. Its $40 but you can run it on multiple devices.

I had something similar happen with paypal twice now. Once for a married accessport... so I was out that money because he was able to drag his feet for more than 45 days. (stupid policy)

And right now I'm dealing with a $700 out of pocket ordeal involving the BAM stuff from last year. If I don't get it figured out soon I'm going to have to come out of pocket another $700 and just send money to people that paypaled me trusting me to take care of ****. It's been 6 damned months.

But because I am who I am people are putting trust in me. I'm sure several folks are a bit pissed at me right now. I'm doing the best I can to get it straightened out in the middle of a LOT of personal business. But I feel terrible.


I also feel terrible for putting the bug in Jameson's ear to get this news out. I should have known that the iclub community would do this kind of thing. The lynch mob talk online is just to make people feel good. Pho Shizzle means well but we all know he couldn't round house kick anything larger than a mini poodle. It's just guys getting pissed off at a solid forum member and individual being wronged possibly by another forum member.

The **** situation is now Jameson looks like a dick and we have a member saying he didn't do anything and it's going to be very hard to prove it.

Only time will tell.

Seriously though. I'm happy to drop a line to said member that's ripped you off to just kick him in the pants. It's probably the situation where it's not a high priority and it's sitting there waiting for him to get unlazy and mail it. Sometimes another member saying... dude... stop being lazy... helps.

Lord knows I've let some stuff sit around once or twice.

I hope that's the case though. Otherwise we have another scammer in the midst and I'll have to put my ******* suit back on.
I sent payment 2/1, I emailed him 2/11 wondering if he had a tracking number and he responded right away saying he was in socal and he'd send it soon

2/24 I emailed again and he responded once again saying he was out of town and sorry for the delay

Nothing since...multiple emails and pms...this member is a LEO (or he was at one point) and sold his subaru but I saw he was online here on 3/23 but didn't respond to any of my pms

Damn, this sucks for both parties. Handheld devices are so easy to jack, each one should have some type of tracking device on it as soon as you buy it, even if it never leaves your home. There are so many free or under $1 apps, there's no reason why each device shouldn't have one.

As for any hope, here's a thread on XDA that I found. It looks like Samsung has a free service you might be able to use to track it... maybe without SMS and all the other stuff your tab doesn't have? Best app to recover a stolen galaxy tab 10.1 with only wifi? - xda-developers

Thread dead. As for laundry, this is a forum, we're supposed to talk about it here. I'd really question your 2 other buddies. I'd also check router log to see when it went offline. It's pretty much gone in this instance. But if you could somehow remember back when you did have those 3 folks over and if they left at separate times, you might be able to pinpoint who did it.

My girlfriend was using some freeware called prey on or predator or something. Tracks phones and other things as well as gives u the option to turn on alarm on some electronic devices and lock the device. Could give that a shot for future reference for your electronic devices.

Someone lock this thread, it's going nowhere
who knows. could have been a long time planned con. he sjust giving you few bucks and a handle, still not worth half of what he supposedly stole. ive been there too bro. you do the favor, the other side seems to acknowledge and offer what they can. but THEN, all of a sudden, like a freight rain hitting a wall. they steal, start rumors, pretty much screw over ur life. its just ur responsibility to learn form mistake. thats all it really is. there was no way of you knowing hed take your stuff. i ytpically help wrench for friends free of charge. but if it someone i never met b efore, id still charge them something. still cheaper than shop costs. but u get what i mean. that real crappy bro! next time have manny408 at ur place helping out hahahaha
