HTC SENSE Locator and account discussion/help

Mine has been working and there is no charge.

To make it quick, I'm trying switch over to a new 3D. I still have the old one in my possession. I'm trying to log in to HTC Sense so I can sync my phone with it and it keeps telling me the password is incorrect. I then tried a password retrieval and HTC is supposed to email me the password just on case I'm using the wrong one. It's been hours since I've asked for the password. Hoe long is this supposed to take? Is there something else o can try to get this thing working?

I think HTCSense is still in beta, and it's still kind of buggy. I registered for it on my 3D a couple of days ago, and just today showed that it was no longer trying to sync my Evo 3D.

Am I still able to get updates? What about skins?

 

[AndroidSPCS]

You'll need to reset your password if you can't log in, I believe, to get the HTC content. I went through them and I'm not all that impressed, to tell you the truth. I deleted most of them after install. I don't like how you can accidentally install a skin / wallpaper just by accidentally tapping on it. And their apps / widgets ask for way too much permission.

Now that HTC sense is closing and doesn't track phones anymore, how do HTC owners track and find phones.
or do they just go to Samsung for the next upgrade?


Does HTC have any plans for an alternate service?

There are many apps in the market that do the same and are free, and actually work b3tt3r, Mylookout is one of them, also is a Anti Virus app all in one, you can also disable the security and simply use the locator

Has anyone used The Protection app from Asurion? How does it stand up to Lookout?

 

[DonB]

I have not, I would say give it a try and report back, I have not even heard any feedback's on it either, be curious to find out

I did a test run and so far it seems pretty good. THE Protection app can wipe, locate or alarm your phone, as well as back up your contacts. The location service is pretty spot on, although it takes a few minutes to hone in on the location (about 3 minutes). The app also gives you the ability to sound an alarm to your phone if you've lost it, even if the sound profile is set to silent/vibrate. Finally you can lock the phone and wipe the data, both which work excellent. If you have asurion through sprint, do yourself a favor and download this app.

Using the Lookout. It's pretty spot on. Lot better than "where's my Droid" app and the fee version is enough for me. Though i have tried Netqin mobile security which also gives locator service, data backup and antivirus for free and felt good about it too.

If you don't have Assurion, then Mylookout does the exact same thing, and they all pretty much take a bit to hone in, sometimes depends on location of your phone and GPS range.
