Thread: The not so smart phone

Lost my smartfone on saturday night in Hua Hin somewhere. I vaguely recall giving it to some brass to put her phone number into. Sum nam na eh ?

Anyway I thought I'd be able to track it down until reading all this shite on Sony's myxperia site.

What is my Xperia?

If you happen to misplace your Xperia™ device, the my Xperia service helps you to find it and protect private information by locking your device or even deleting all information on your device. The my Xperia service is offered by Sony Mobile Communications free of charge.

The my Xperia service uses the Google account on your device. If you are using several Google accounts on your device, you can sign in with any of them. You can connect several devices to my Xperia, using the same Google account.

For the my Xperia service to work, your smartphone or tablet must be turned on and has to have a working data connection.

I turned all the bleedin mobile data and data roaming off to avoid the charges while visiting Thailand.

If I didn't, I would have been able to do all this and even left a message with a phone number saying reward on the home screen.

Locate

The Locate function helps you to find your Xperia™ device, by locating it on a map. If my Xperia cannot find your device immediately, an email is sent to your Google account once your device has been located.

Sound alert

If you misplace your device, for example, when you are at home, you can make it play a sound to help you find it. The sound alert overrides all volume settings on your device and plays the sound on full volume.

Lock

You can lock your device with a four digit PIN code. The PIN code that you choose replaces the existing screen lock (e.g. pattern, PIN, password) on your device.

When you lock the device you can also write a message that will be displayed on the screen of your device when it is found. You can also set a phone number where the finder can reach you.

When you lock your device using my Xperia, a confirmation message is sent to your Google account.

Erase

If you want to make sure that nobody gets hold of any private information on your misplaced device, you can erase the data remotely. You can choose to erase the data on internal memory, memory card or both. Once the data has been erased, it can only be restored if you have a backup.

When you erase your device using my Xperia, a confirmation message is sent to your Google account.

So now this is the state I am in

I try to locate, alert, lock, or erase my device using my Xperia, but nothing happens

If you are using the Extended standby mode / STAMINA mode on your device, mobile data is automatically disabled when the screen is off. This prevents my Xperia to locate, lock, erase or alert your device. Use another phone and call your cell phone to wake up the screen. Then try again to locate, alert, lock, or erase your device.
If your device is turned off when trying to locate, alert, lock or erase, the function will be carried out as soon as the device is turned on again.
If you lost your device when being abroad, and it does not have data roaming turn on, my Xperia cannot control your device.
If you are unlucky, the person who has found your device turns it off, inactivates my Xperia or disables any necessary service, my Xperia will not be able to control your device.

So it looks like young Noi and my Xperia ZL are gone for good



I won't hold my breath

Life is but Xperiance, mate.

^ Yup, I've decided not to buy and give away anymore smart phones.

No more ignoring people in bars while playing candy crush saga.
No more sitting in restaurants taking pics of my dinner
No more mobile portable porn and pulling off in public toilets.
No more looking a prize twat holding a phone up to shazam songs in discos.
No more reading out twisted jokes from sickipedia
No more Missus working out where I am on skype..

Stick your smartfones.

OK, so you were pissed up in some bar and handed your phone over to some bint you did not know and were so drunk you did not remember that she never gave it back and you were too tight to pay the roaming charges so cannot use the security features on the phone to trace it???? Sounds like a great night out..

I've had worse nights

No phone. Never mind.

How's the ringpiece?

^I can still communicate via it

Pardon?

Speak up Mr. Brown.

Smart phone.

Dumb owner.

I'd say with low number of night spots in Hua Hin you might have a chance at finding it tonight.

Somebody gave me my first ever smartfone yesterday.

I'm now beginning to understand why every fucker on the train is in a perpetual state of fiddling and tapping.

I couldn't tell you what she looked like. I remember a nightclub and a place with swings.

The phone was off Sunday morning and is most likely on sale on the top floor of that Market village by now
Just hope theyve wiped the home made vids off it

Ah.....so that was you in The Mall a couple of weeks ago. Thought it sounded too good to be just a shit .

I know how you feel i lost my Samsung Galaxy I in Bangkok (suspected bar girl) a few years back.

Your xperia is worth 329.95 new..

Imagine how much shit a grubby Thai girl can buy with 15000baht

Can we have a title change?

The not so smart phone owner...

Go on, then...

Sad to hear, but on the upside you can buy yerself a sexy new Xperia Z Hitomi mini (should be announced on sep 4).

^Hitomi, huh...? Does the phone have massive tits by chance?

I may have the name slightly wrong, but I'm sticking with it...

Smart phones, aren't they the 21st century version of a relationship? Conversation? Personality? Banker? literacy substitute?

You're lost now aren't you Dill? Put your hands in your pockets and actually try "conversation."

He's a Northerner, he can't. Just as well because it's not easy to understand what he says in that Northern twang...
