I logged into my Samsung account, and when i tried to register, nothing happened. I tried 3 times to register but nothing.
Each time i tried i logged in and out.
Garry.
Exept it does not support to many countries and then it’s usless and you still need 3d party software
After creating Samsung Account, I could not proceed further from “Register your Mobile phone Now” screen. I tried it from PC as well as device but could not move ahead. Please advise. I reside in Mumbai, India.
as of now it doesnt support INDIA!
I registered myself on Samsung.com and then on samsungdive.com but I am not able to see the controls. Instead, it is showing “Register your mobile phone now!!!” What should I do?
Kindly enter your mobile number!
Same here, I created Samsung account, activated it, the screen keeps hanging at “Register yuor mobile phone now!” with no option to register anywhere. Have u tested it yourself Neal?
I got it working eventyally. The key is to register your product at Samsung (not Samsung Dive) website. Therefore u have to create a samsung account, ON YOUR PHONE. So if u have a rooted phone and u freezed some samsung stuff, u do have to unfreeze it first. The problem with Dive is that your 3G connection has to be active otherwise it will not work. So if your phone is set to flight mode, or connection simply put to 2G u wont be able to lock, ring or wipe your phone OTA. In short, the service is useless.
yes its working at our end!
i tried it long back through samsung dive , but it showing that will not support on gulf area.
Not working with Bell in Canada. I can log in and see all the tools (track, sweep, lock and calls-log) but just works calls-log and nothing else. I dont know if the service provider who blocked it or its still to come to Ontario. Hoppefully its gonna be fixed soon. I sugest to commenter to provide their location and service provider so we can have a clear map on where its working or not.
Device: Samsung Galaxy s2
it will soon be launched for your place!
I really think it’s Bell that is blocking it cuz I tried with a rogers sim card and this time it worked…
The problem is that if people remove the sim and dont acces internet, or install a different rom the tool is useless. My phone got stolen today and I have Samsung Dive activated but the thieves immediatly took my sim out and I guess they flashed a different rom because dive can not locate or lock my phone… So still no guarantee to retrieve your phone when it is stolen.
Hi,
I registered on samsung site as well as on samsung Dive but can’t get into the “Register your mobile now screen”
I am from India ;

Hello, I registered my galaxy s2 on Samsung.com and then setup an account on samsungdive.com but I am not able to see the controls. Instead, it is showing “Register your mobile phone now” i click this area and nothing happens.
another issue is that in my phone i can’t sync Samsung account its grayed out.
i can sync all other account. any advise?
is it true that if the ROM is flashed the lock locate and wipe services are useless ?
Thanks
it can but in some countries this service is not yet launched!
I have registered an s2 for samsung dive no problems
When I try to register my wifes Galaxy S plus i get the same message as everyone else \Register your mobile now\ and can’t click past this.
Incidently I can’t see the samsung account when I go on Settings>Accounts and sync on the s plus, nor do I have the option of adding a samsung account (I had to add it in the first place by clicking through from ‘set mobile tracker’)
Any news on how to get this working on an s plus?
(Im in the UK)
which firmware the phone is on?
I am having the same problem in Hong Kong. my firmware is 2.3.3. Is the mobile tracking function not supported on galaxy s plus?
yes as of now there is limited support for the same!
Hi friends,
this is mahesh,i just want to know about mobile tracker option is available in samsung galaxy ace mobile or not?if it is can any one help me please,its too mandatory please….
yes its available but as of now its not there in India!
will this feature work on a 2G network? and will it work if perhaps someone stole the phone and remove the sim card?
suggestion: this feature should use the IMEI number of the phone.. so this will mean even if theres no sim card it should work.
yes it wil work! as of now its not there in India!
Is samsung Dive available in Ireland yet? currently trying to set up account but like everyone else can only go so far!!
no its not yet arrived in ireland!
Is it working in Malaysia?
yes
If this service is not available in some countries why do they let you register and when you try to track it they do not let you know that the service is not available? I registered the phone on dive and after it got stolen i logged in to find it with no success. It can not connect to the phone. Also i never go a sim change alert so what is the point if it does not work with IMEI?
yes its a fault from samsung end!
I just wish they make it easier to register instead of going to 2 different websites. Still can’t get it to work & I can’t add a Samsung Account from my my S+
I’ve had a Wave 2 for a year now here in Thailand and have never been able to do anything other than register, seems to me it’s all rubbish.
is it now available in the philippines?
you need to check with the site itself!
it didn’t work for me, my device was registered, i did test time before, but, when I really need it it didnt work, so the theft must be happy now :S
I RECOMMEND that SamsungDive should work with IMEI and whatever is done in the device it should be blocked immediately. Also SamsungDive should show me the IMEI of the device in order to let me go the Telecom company and block it by IMEI.
That would be GREAT!
same for me. All the thief needed to do was take the sim away and it wouldn’t work.
I have successfully registered a Samsung account on my SamsungGalaxy R after the purchase. Now as my phone is stolen I want to track it through SamsungDive but I have my SIM card blocked and re-issued.
I have logged in on the SamsungDive website but it is unable to access my phone. Any help would be GREAT..
Thank You
I lost my galaxy note ( possibly stolen) a month ago, and gave up on it. but learned about samsung dive recently. when I logged in to samsung dive it says that my sim card has been replaced. Am right now waiting to locate my phone…but its been a while. Should it still work without knowing what the phone number is? is there a way to disable the phone if u know the imei number
I have samsung gallaxy note GT-N7000, i sumsung account and i signed in but i cant activate “Remote Controls” to allow the dive to be tracked and remote controled.
Does it work in the US..
yes it works in US
Is South Africa supported, and the Samsung Galaxy S Plus and the Galaxy X Cover?
