On the next update (answering also to other people's questions) will come mostly fixes and usability changes. There isn't any significant new features but an effort to establish better what we have.

On your problem, are you allowed to have a gmail.com account from your region? This is know address to work with the settings in the wiki.

and In my opinion, the lesson learnt from the story is that the mail
is most important thing for us(not an additional feature) as far as photo of the thief is concern.and in that story victim could not get his photo of the thief, and that is why police also did not help him.

about sms, i know this is also a very important feature . but this feature is already available in many phones. and our n900 is diffrent becouse it has ability to sends a photo of the thief(thanks for this app and all the dev.) that is the only reason we want email with photo or a new feature of uploading photo and sends a link via sms.

EDIT: yes i used gmail with many port(587 22 995 etc.) but it did not work.i am from india and i do not know what's wrong here only i want photo of the theif. any sggestion?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

So, how's the new version going?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Great app, been looking for something like this.

I would like to propose some features.

When the phone notices that the sim has changed, it's pretty likely that the crook is going to be facing the front camera for few next minutes. So there should be an option to take, let's say 3 photos, after sim change.

Also the picture command should work so, that it would take the picture when the screen or keyboard is used. Now it's more than likely to have pictures of someone's pocket.

It could also work so, that when the command is given, the phone would make beeping noise and there would be a question on the screen "Would you like to install updates?". When the crook selects either option, the image is taken.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

A very important qustion is.......
what the next update is bringing new in smscon for us????????????

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Release 0.8 will have the following:

NEW: added new user setting (ENABLECHECKHOST) to activate smscon with a file on user's own server (CHECKHOST); when file content changes from '0' to a specific number ('1', '2', '3' etc.) smscon will execute corresponding SMS command. So user can -silently- activate smscon. Smscon will check for this file with a user defined interval (CHECKTIME).
NEW/CHANGE: expanded user setting MESSAGESEND ('sms', 'email', 'both' & 'none').
CHANGE: removed DISABLESMS user setting. This is superseded by MESSAGESEND user setting!
CHANGE: SIM card change SMS always will be send regardless of MESSAGESEND setting.
NEW: added smscon command (COM_ALARM); phone will play loud a user configurable sound file (only WAV) when command is received. File must be placed in /opt/smscon and be named 'alarm.wav'.
NEW: smscon_daemon sends SMS/email message if smscon_daemon crashes.
CHANGE: changed user setting ENABLERESEND ('yes', 'no'). Resending of messages will again be experimental feature!
CHANGE: removed user setting MAXRESEND (didn't work as intended).
CHANGE: some log text changed/added.
CHANGE: some changes in GPS message sending code.
CHANGE: AUTODEVICELOCK message is only send if COMMANDREPLY is enabled.
FIX: small bug in SMSsend().
FIX: bug in GPSINTERVAL handeling; GPSINTERVAL was always set at 60 sec regardless of user setting.

When released it al will be explained in the WIKI
