DAEMON INFO: reading valid IMSI code (2620741xxxxxxxxx) from file
DAEMON INFO: authorized IMSI code found
DAEMON INFO: smscon auto-loads at boot
DAEMON INFO: stored current WLAN network (Home)

DAEMON ERROR: (EMAIL) wrong username/password
DAEMON INFO: restoring saved WLAN network (Home)
DAEMON INFO: WLAN network (Home) already connected

Digitalvoid has already answered most of them so I ll skip some.

That's not possible. Are you sure about it?

- biggest issue for me so far is the fact that the controlling sms'es send from another GSM are visible to the thief. He sees them, he can follow along and will be alarmed right away (I would ...). Can't they not be intercepted ? This might need more hacker like skills. Hopefully someone can chip in.
It has being acknowledged but it is a closed source part. Can only propose to "mask" the command with a phrase that doesn't raise suspicion.

- what's the idea of the 'call' command ? It's very obvious to the thief something dodgy is running on his new 'found' toy as all happens 'in the open'. Can it not be done hidden ? And not recorded of course ... I agree, of course, this software would then be possibly used unlawfully as a spying device ... I guess this is then the moral question of 'buying a big knife' to use in the kitchen to filet your fish OR kill your neighbor ...
Again, that's another closed component.

some ideas for further releases :

- I vote for a remote wipe command (of the contacts, conversations, and all non-smscon related data/config. Of course we still want smscon to help us track the device, even if it's empty in terms of normal user-level data.
digitalvoid has acknowledged that it's in the todo for the future. I'm curious to see how many of the people asking for this will help us test it

- hide the smscon-editor in the normal application list. Make it only xterm startable. Use system like names in the App manager list.
It's not necessary. I'm adding password protection for opening it in a few days (need some time to kill a bug).

If you don't want an icon at all, do this as root:

Code:
rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/smscon-editor.desktop
- give the smscon process a different name, something more like 'systemd', normal users won't know or suspect anything, in case they ever see something happening, cpu wise. (eg Conky)
It's not shown in conky as it doesn't use that much cpu or mem - it is event driven. You rather need to do "top" or "ps" to find it. The idea is not bad, but it's a little complex if you want to make it have a non fixed name.

- I use my N900 in multiple countries, with multiple SIM cards. When I change countries, I put always my country specific SIM card in my N900. And I put my backup SIM card in my backup phone. So I would prefer a list of 'Allowed SIMs', maybe propose auto adding it via the editor.
Will add a delete button for the sim code file in a future version.
Then before you exchange the SIM one can open the editor, press the delete code and the "Unboot". Afterwards, when the phone starts with the new card you'll need to press the "Boot" button.

For most people this would be more than acceptable I guess.

Note also that digitalvoid has already spent a significant amount of effort on this. SMSCON chooses now automatically the GPRS connections which matches the SIM card you're using at the moment.

- Same enhancement area, depending on my SIM installed, a specific (changing) Mobile number should be auto informed if an non-authorized SIM is inserted. So some config settings (mainly mobile number, possibly others) should ideally be SIM dependent.
This will be useful only for a very few people but the set-up will confuse all.
Maybe when all stabilise enough we can think of adding multiple profile configuration handling in the editor. That is, keep more than one configurations and provide the user specific options per SIM. That is something that will solve also your previous request.

The tests are working fine now, but the phone does not answer when sending an sms command.
I simply write an sms with the command in it. Or how should I write the command in the subject line of an sms ?

can you open xterm and type
Code:
/opt/smscon-editor/smscon-editor.py
then copy paste any errors here.

You probably using a older version (0.4.4-x). Please remove SMSCON & SMSCON-editor from your device and install latest versions of both (0.5-5).

Post the log file or send me a email with it (edit out sensitive data for security reasons).
