  2. Google rolling out unknown tracker alerts on Android

    I hope this doesn't just disable a legit tracker. I have one in my car for the sole purpose of a LoJack device in case the car is stolen. On the surface it makes it sound like your Tile or whatever is completely useless if some thief can disable it. In which case I won't spend another dime on these stupid things. Edit- Yep. Total horse shit. Now a thief can disable the tracker. I think Google, in their ever so present infinite low IQ chimp BS just went a step beyond what this should have done.
    Edit 2- Now it's apparent a class action lawsuit should be brought up for nullifying another product's intention by another company, i.e Alphabet Inc.

    Sorry, I cannot answer your question directly, but I have sucessfully installed Sports Tracker on a 5800XM and I notice that this model is not on the list from your link either.



    I guess I must just have used a version from another touch screen model, so I suggest that you try a version that runs the same version of OS as your phone.
