nobody else reported a problem, and it worked for me without openmode/inception on my N950. so not sure what to do.
is developer mode enabled on ur device?
regarding traceroute, i will try including it when i'm a bit more free. or maybe add it as an optional dependency and point to where to download it from
Just checked out your git repository, will take a look at it later. Will post back once I have results.

I have Front Camera app as well, but it captures a pic for me anyway. Is it possible to make it capture pics from front AND back camera as well? Maybe the phone can be lost up-side down too. You never know.
You said Prey periodically checks the control panel for status change. How often is "periodically"? I've kept my device laying around while it was not connected to GPRS or WiFi, but it didn't try to connect, even for an hour. Maybe because WLAN scanning is switched off? It only seems to work if it's already connected.
Is it possible to force a connection through Prey? It would impact battery life, but maybe a condition can be given that if a device isn't moved from standby state for 3-4 hours or more, then force connection and check control panel to see if it's missing. If no, disconnect connection. If yes, do whatever actions it is supposed to do.
Maybe impossible, but worth a try?

the report frequency can be set from the control panel. when u mark it as missing
presently there is no forced autoconnect to internet. Basically i dont know how to force autoconnect, and i'm starved for time to explore how to do it. if somebody can write that script, I can use it in prey.
prey need not run periodically(default now, and the easiest way). it can also be triggered by other means(e.g SMS). To check for status and sent report, just call the below command with proper permissions and redirection for log messages
/opt/prey/prey.sh
