How do I use the Verizon Service & Protection app to locate my phone if it gets lost?

The Verizon Support & Protection app (VZ Protect) is installed on my phone and is supposed to help me if my phone is lost or stolen by allowing me to find it on a map, lock it, erase my data from it, etc.  But I found it nearly impossible to figure out what I should do in the event that actually did get lost or stolen.
I logged into my My Verizon account from my computer (which is probably what I would do if I lost my phone), but unfortunately there isn't anything on the site to help a person who has actually lost their phone or had it stolen to quickly and easily locate it.  Most of the links I found were only promoting Verizon's services and the app, but nothing on how to use it.
I tried searching for things I might type if I had actually lost my phone (like, "missing phone", "stolen phone", "find lost phone").  I had to go into the "How to Use Guide: Verizon Support & Protection" page, which I was only able to find on the  Verizon Support & Protection FAQs  page), in order to find a link that told me I had to go to the Verizon Support & Protection App website  to use this service.
There really should be something more obvious right on the My Verizon site.

Purchase a replacement remote.
The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

  • How can I use the update service

    Hello experts,
    could you please explain me how to use the update service from a business object in the VC. I have created a object which contains following attributes:
    - key(ID)
    - created by(UserID)
    - creted at(Datetime)
    - modifiedAt(Datetime)
    - modifiedBy(UsedID)
    - argument(string)                 Kardinalität: 1...1
    I have developed an application service which returns the whole entries of the table.
    Now I want to select the row and update the attribute argument.
    (For example the value is 24, and now I want to change it to 25. )
    But if I test the service UPDATE in the Service Browser it cames always the error message that a value in the mandatory field argument is missing.
    Any ideas?????? I am using the NWDS SP1.
    Many thanks!!!
    Regards Marco

    Hi Marco,
    In CAF you can do it by first using the update method to retrieve the BO instance and set the new value.

  • How can i use the web services

    i have a web service ,but what is need that can i use the web services?
    is only then oc4j,or anything?

    You need to write a client that will access the Web service and invoke it.
    You can write the client in Java for example - and JDeveloper provides wizards for this.
    There is a sample in the JDeveloper Reviewer guide here:

  • How do i use the apple tv remote app to navigate the apple tv?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been given an apple tv remote from my step father. I couldn't honestly tell you which model I'm afraid. He's lost the remote.
    I've managed to get the apple tv turned on using a youtube that explaned how to set up with an ethernet cable. I can even airplay stuff from my itunes. However I want to pair my existing remote and I can't work out for the life of me how I use the apple tv remote app to navigate whilst on the apple tv main menu.
    There's just no option to do this, despite the youtube vid seemingly doing it. Has a previous update of the app rendered this featured obselete?
    Some clarity or help on how I can navigate the apple tv using either my iphone or macbook would be great. That way I can pair my existing tv remote for future use.
    Thanks everyone in advance!

  • How do I use the maintenance service to upgrade PCs without admin rights?

    Our users do not have admin rights on their systems so FireFox is WAY out of date. I read about the Maintenance Service in the wiki and hoped it might allow FireFox to update itself without admin rights. I installed v21 and FireFox does not update itself so I am not sure what to make of things. In fact, it does not even seem to try since click in on Help, About shows "Updates available at http://www.firefox.com"
    I have seen some postings indicating others have experienced similar issues with not being able to update as "users", but no solution. I really do NOT want to require our folks use Chrome, which works without any users given its design. Suggestions?

    The maintenance service can only be installed by someone that has administrator permissions (you get an UAC alert), so you can only use this service for updating in the background if someone with administrator permissions has installed this service (maintenanceservice_installer.exe).

  • How do I use the Web Services API to query orders?

  • Use the CHECKIN_NEW service in the browser url

    Hi,
    I use UCM 10gR3.
    I am wondering if it is possible to use the CHECKIN_NEW service by just entering a url into the http path. I was checking the postCheckInStandard() function that is being called when the user is clicking the checkin button in the ucm administration webpage. All it does is checking the input values and setting the IdcService to "CHECKIN_NEW" and then submitting the form. So from my understanding I should also be able to use the CHECKIN_NEW service in my browser url which would make a GET request instead of a POST request.
    So what I did was that I entered the following URL in my browser
    http://<serverName>/<instanceName>/idcplg?IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW&dDocType=Picture&dDocTitle=TestCheckin&dDocAuthor=http_checkin&dSecurityGroup=Secure&primaryFile=C:/Work/Chrysanthemum.jpg&IsJava=1Why is this not working? Is this not working because the input type of the primaryFile is 'file' instead of 'text'?
    Greetings
    Bodhy

    You should see some sort of error on either the page or Server Output or Server logs. That would help narrow this down.
    From the Services Guide:
    If you attempt to set the author (dDocAuthor) to someone other than the currently
    logged in user, you must have Admin permission to the security attributes being
    assigned to the document.
    If the content uses entity security, the user must have at least Write permission
    granted by the entities, unless the user has Admin rights to the security group
    being assigned to the document.
    The most likely error is when the content item was not properly defined.
    This service executes the subservice CHECKIN_NEW_SUB. This subservice
    checks in a new content item revision.
    Additional Required Service Parameters
    dDocName: The Content ID for the content item. If Content ID auto generation is enabled, this parameter is not required. If dDocName is defined, it overrides the auto generated Content ID. The Content ID cannot contain spaces or invalid characters ;/ \?:@&=+"#%<>*~|[ ].
    dDocAuthor: The content item author (contributor).
    dDocTitle: The content item title.
    dDocType: The content item Type.
    dSecurityGroup: The security group such as Public or Secure.
    dDocAccount: The account for the content item. Required only if accounts are
    enabled.
    primaryFile: The absolute path to the location of the file as seen from the server. Use the slash as the file separator. A primary file must be specified unless checking in metadata only. If an alternate
    file is specified with the primary file, the content refinery converts the alternate
    file. Otherwise, the primary file is converted.
    Required custom fields: Custom metadata fields that are required must also be
    specified.
    Example
    IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW
    dDocName=test1111
    dDocTitle=test information
    dDocAuthor=john
    dSecurityGroup=public
    primaryFile=c:/test.txt
    doFileCopy=1
    doFileCopy: 1 (true): The file is not deleted from the hard drive after checkin.

  • How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <services-config>
        <services>
            <service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
                class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"

        </channel-definition>
        </channels>
    </services-config>
    I think the problem  is the line
            <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
    The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
    Hi Paul,
    In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    IF
    services-config.xml
    have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
    -context-root
    and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
    Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
    for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    have been specified durring compilation.
    I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf  about service confogiration,
    1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml  parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
    or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

  • How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    To see what reports are running, take a look at the execution log views that are available in the database.  Which views that are available are dependent on your version of SSRS.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159110.aspx
    To see which application is using SSRS is a little more difficult.  You can turn HTTP logging on, which will give you an idea of where connections are coming from, so you can see IP addresses.  You can also look at the execution log view to see
    user accounts.  So, depending on your environment and use of service accounts, this could be easy, or difficult.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630443.aspx
    If all else fails you can look for clues in the SSRS logs.  Good luck...
