Sorry it took me a while to get back. I found out that the Sprint Total Equipment Protection app that came installed will do what I want. Not sure whether it uses C2DM, but it was able to locate the phone. I think I even had the GPS off. Not sure whether it turned the Wifi on for a one-time update or It might have been using the WiFi map to locate it.
OTOH, I tried once to get the alarm to go off and I think it went to Google Voice instead, so that might still be an issue. The more time I spend with this thing, the more I realize it already has most of what I need to keep it running lean and mean. Didn't try to disable Google Voice. Since I want it to keep working I'd rather not mess with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! -Larry Siden On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 11:15 AM, John Coryat <[email protected]> wrote: > Those apps should be re-written to use C2DM instead.
