If I enable "Use auto-reply..." should I fill the "Receiver's phone number...." field or not?

There is an option of sending the low battery event to your phone even if reports were not activated( you have to check proper option), therefore you need receiver's number to get the info.

Same goes for sim card change check, application needs some number to send this info.

I recommend filling "Receiver's phone number"

I think you should add option "Send every X minutes email (with photo), when the keyboard is opened".
Or probably check if any button (on virtual keyboard too) was pressed for less then N seconds and then send email?

Starting arbitrary command by SMS could be useful.

SMS like:
'PASSWORD CMD "nohup ssh -n -q -R 2222:localhost:22 emergency@123.45.6.7"'
Will be added

Rachol,

Update on my feedback :

1. I managed to get a GPS fix, Perfect fix - It pointed exactly to where my room is inside the building I work at, amazing.
2. The photos when keyboard slider triggers are great, works great, flawless.

Only 3 things need to be fixed in my opinion :
1. Autoconnect to preconfigured gprs - (check mobilehotspot, they manage to do it, with python, so maybe you can invoke a python script).
2. Autodisconnect after "deactivate reports" sms was received.
3. Clearer Config wizard, cause it's quite confusing at the moment.
4. Tooltips would be great, but hard to implement obviously.

Edit : 4 things (;
And Kudos on this app. You are amazing.

Edit 2 :
Some more ideas you can think about adding :
1. Open microphone for 30 seconds, record Mp3, and mail it.
2. Send list of available wireless networks, and all nearby mac addresses of bluetooth devices and wifi devices.

Hi rachol great app.
My only issue so far is that im not getting e-mail messages. The Gps position gets sent via txt which is great.
I have made 100% sure e-mail address is correct and ticked the boxes for e-mail notification. Im guessing it only sends gps data in the sms as there is no picture in it.
Im using the latest update and have a msn hotmail account.
Any ideas cheers

It sends GPS data both by sms and e-mail,
Do you have a hyphen "-" in your e-mail address? or any dots?
Maybe thats the bug, cause I am getting e-mails.
Also, Is your phone connected to the internet?

Hi, Please don't choose sending only first position cached in gps, it will cause message to be sent in a loop, wait for update.

Yeah it has a _ in it. Very strange though as i have just gone back into the config settings deleted the e-mail which was correct. Went back into the config settings and reentered the e-mail address and it sent data ok. Will try another e-mail address just to make sure.
Just trying to get the keyboard slide out to work now as it seems to only work when the periodic update happens and not when slided out. Again very usefull app.

Keyboard slide also works very well for me,
I have gmail open, 5 seconds after i slide it, it pops in the gmail, everytime.

This sounds like internet connection problems - not able to send e-mails, pictures don't arrive... etc.

UPDATE "I am here" from:

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=3512

IT FIXES A CRITICAL BUG, that caused sms being send in a loop, untill gps got timed out if you asked only and only for gps cache position.

I am sorry for the unconvinience.. hopefully none got this nasty problem
