Eats up 90% of my cpu, so I uninstalled it.

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

Hi!
Did I understand correct:
Sending the password for activation will send the sms and email?
Sending for deactivate would make the program doing nothing?
The sends are automatically done. when the SIM card was changed, or
do I have to send the activation password?
How can I locate the phone, if the simcard was not changed?
The thief is getting a sms with the password. Maybe he doesn't know,
what that sms means, but he is seeing it.

i have read through 13 pages, but still havent really understood what this app can do!

so fari understood that it takes pictures (fron and back) if it is "activated through an sms? what exactly does that mean? i send an sms (with which content? code?) to my n900 it it takes a picture or sends coordinates?

what does it mean when you write "it can read sms?"

i really appreciate the effort, it just would have been nice if there would have been a really detailled description of how to use this app and what it can do!

If you send an SMS with a passphrase (or whatever you set the code or sentence to be) it activates the function allowing you to do different things to recover your N900. As for read SMS, I think that means it can read whatever SMS messages are on the device.. not sure though.

ok, thanks and can someone tell me:

1) if the sim card is changed, can it send me the number of the new simcard?

2) what gps data does it send me, can someone give me an example?

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

1) yes

2) GPS-coordinates (in emails it sends link in Google Earth to this place)

I recieved an update to i am here today ... anyone know whats in the update?

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

That is strange, it doesn't appear like there have been any updates to the package since april. Are you sure it's not because you installed the package which is outside extras-devel and are now prompted to update to the one in extras-devel? The one in extras-devel appears to be broken.

That may have been the case as the one iv have "updated" to, doesnt seem to be working atm, i thought it was just me!

Thanks you!

the application will not activated if the person took the sim card out before you sent the message in. So there is a flaw! which cannot be by pass.
