My husband and I got mugged on Thursday night.
As soon as we got home, we initiated remote wipes through mobileme and suspended our AT&T accounts. His has said "remote wipe pending" since then, but I got an email stating that the remote wipe had started at 3:50pm on Friday. We were out of town (no phones! no internet! the terror!) between Friday afternoon and Sunday at 3, so I didn't check on it during that time.
At 3:30 today I looked at mobileme again, and my phone now showed up as "PuffyPhone" (ew) and the "location services disabled" text. At this point I was confused, thinking if the remote wipe went through it would be unusable (I'm sure someone will correct me if not), so I initiated another remote wipe. It showed a popup saying that the remote wipe had started, and that the device would no longer show up in mobileme. 30 minutes later, it was back in the side bar, still labeled "PuffyPhone." Another remote wipe initiated at 9:45, so far it's still gone from my mobileme.
Does anyone know whether this is normal or a glitch of some sort? Why would it disappear and then reappear?
Also, being able to see that the phone is renamed, is that because they didn't wipe my data in a restore or would I see it regardless?
