I cant receive sms alerts. I've checked the number several times.
The number i've put is from the same network as mine.

A great time to remember it's still in your pocket :D

Makes for a nice hacking target, too. "Really?" *clickedyclick* *Boof* "Aww, my lineage!"

Oops. Just saw the V0.3.1-1 Warning. Too late, I downloaded it already. OK, no big deal. I'll wait for the next update.
Rachol, I see too many basic questions here. So I decided to act proactive. If you agree with it, I'll try to compile a install/config manual.
If you plan to have locale files, you can count on me to prepare the Brazilian portuguese version.

Ok, after a restore and a bit of tinkering it seems to be working again but seems to require a reboot each time I try to access the configuration.

Keyboard with front-cam photographs seems to work fine but only if the main camera is not active. When the main camera is activated the phone sends zero byte images.

Reports of GPS location etc. by email do not seem to be working at the present time. I've yet to test the sms functionality.


Some thoughts:
In many places there are explicit laws against recording conversations without the knowledge of the other party. I'm not suggesting that this feature (if it is planned) be removed from the application but it may be prudent to ensure you add a message to this effect and have it disabled by default.

Earlier in the thread someone asked if it was possible to send an sms with a command to be executed; wouldn't it be better to store a number of preconfigured commands in iamhere and have a less obvious message trigger them? I know this limits the number of potential commands one can run but if the owner can get remote root access then surely that's all that is needed.


Many thanks for the great work.


Edit and update: Despite selecting the box I cannot uninstall the application...

:: Yes, i have that problem too, selecting the box, it starts uninstalling but fails after all :::

:(

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

I just rebooted and tried it again and it worked for some reason.

Note that I had stopped the program before I attempted the uninstall. It failed to uninstall twice but on rebooting it worked.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

I have the same errors as Martinus, config only works when reboot, after some time, did not check how much, it stops responding to SMS.

The SMS I did not check but the e-mail reporting is not working.

Hi, can it use network positioning when gps fix is not possible?

I have installed it and didn´t finish the setup steps, I will do it later.
