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

While testing the application, please DON'T set the same password for every action, because you will not be able to configure anything anymore. I fixed it will be fixed in newer version.

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

This problem can be solved by taking a picture with the front cam only when Phone UI launches for example or when the screen is turned on or when Task Switcher is activated. Assuming the thief is making the call or playing with the phone with the screen facing toward him/her. This will 80% capture the face.

The positioning of the front cam is great and will not get blocked by the hand in both landscape or portrait mode.

@rachol: could you do something like this?

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

I have implemented it already :) I am testing newer version now including:

-checking battery status,
-taking pics with front when keyboard slides out,
-possible to set auto-reply, you get notification on a phone number you have sent password from
-some small bug fixes
-more configuration options like possibility to start only e-mail or only sms notifictions and more...

I should have new version tested in less than hour, if goes well, then maybe 30 minutes

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

I just installed the new update and it seems to be not working?

it sort of hangs during install.

Loading simple Config module....
Creating backend....
Loading socket FrontEnd module....
Starting SCIM as daemon....
GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.7

then it just sits there. I don't get a config wizard screen.
I've tried uninstalling imhere and reinstalling. still same.
Anyone have similar problem with the newer update?

EDIT: Okay. Seems the config windows does come up if I send an SMS with the previously setup config password. =)

I just lost my damn phone last week, I wish I had this on it. Oh well, just loaded this on my new one - this is freaking sweet.

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

I set start report if SIM card changes on...
I usually travel and change my sim card.. will it automatically start reporting?

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

Yes. That's what it is supposed to do if you have the second option enabled. It will only report once however unless you have enabled periodic reporting of sms and email. (and will also keep sending emails with front cam pics whenever keyboard slide is opened if you have that enabled. :p)

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

Also I tried it out and I received the sms but not the email...
I've noticed the connection dialog keeps popping up. This happens when I'm on my GPRS connection or WLAN.

Am I not supposed to configure the email account from which the email is sent?

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

rachol, thank you very much! I think you should add feature: run configuration wizard after updating/reinstallation.

Please, fix bug with '-' symbol in email-address!

I've got stupid question: what password do you always speak about?))
