program to track phone? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

well i was thinking this would be a cool apt. is there somethign where idk your phone gets stolen. well you could just look it up on the web or something and it will give you a location via the gps? seems cool but i dont know how easy it is to do...
btw after switching from my now dead 8125 i love this phone! the graphics do lag a bit tho

The author of TrackMe is looking into making it a feature of TrackMe application
i found the following links by this

Mobile Justice (downloadable through SourceForge) offers the ability to text message another phone (with the GPS coords or other info) should your SIM be replaced after being stolen or lost. Or you can surreptitiously text message your phone to get the info. There are also a number of paid software options.
Remember - if your phone is hard reset these programs will be gone unless you cook them (and the settings) into your ROM. I've done it with MobileJustice and it's not too tough.

Hi brianmay27
You could try this
I believe that it survives a hard reset too!?

Went through it with WIMP too. Nothing out there (that I know of) survives a hard reset unless it (and your settings) are part of your ROM. Thus, any knowledgeable thief will just hard reset the phone once they have it. Personally I don't believe that many thieves will be that knowledgeable, but it is a danger. FYI.
Since all were virtually the same as far as protection, I went with MobileJustice because it's free. However, a free key to one was offered on here a while ago. I got it and may check that one out when I cook my next ROM. FWIW, this has been discussed many times before. Look here for other options - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365054

WIMP - Where Is My Phone

I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
sounds kinda cool!
All I can say is try it out. WIMP yourself lol. It's kinda fun finding out where you are
You gotta check this out - track your phone!
This is a great bit of kit - I just tried this out on my Eten M700 and gave it to my girlfriend whilst she went to the shop. I could text her and see exactly where she was - it sent me back:
Latitude:51°24.740913'N
Longitude:2°29.562757'W
Speed: 0 MPH
Satellites: 9
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.41234855,-2.49271261666667+(PHONE+LOCATION)&t=h&z=19
You've gotta try this out!
Yeh, same here, but mine was only where I was
I really wish my girlfriend had a WM6 phone with GPS.
Big brother, here we come.
lost phone
I can imagine this would be handy if I lost my phone (again). I accidently misplaced my last phone - at £500 a pop you can't do that too often. With this I would have been able to find exactly where it was, even if someone changed the SIM
WIMP and IIWPO on one phone would rock!
That's a brilliant idea.
I'm gonna email them and put a few enhancement requests in.
This is one of the best bits of software I've seen for ages, and I reckon the IIWPO would also benefit the software.
I've done a bit of googling and they must be fairly new as I can't find much on the software, but I'll keep you updated to see if I get a response.
not gonna be possible until the good chaps here work out how to unlock the extrom of the kaiser or something like that I would imagine - it needs to be installed again on hard reset to be of any theft recovery value.
I've seen it done on things like my Athena, so I don't think it will be long till it happens
eventually... yes.
Can't wait for IIWPO for my kaiser, sure I have it insured, but I would have to bring swift, brutal retribution in person on anyone who stole my beloved black beauty.
But being able to track them with it even when they weren't at the home address they typed in would maybe help get it back sooner, and open up ambush possibilities
Very true. I reckon it wont be long till they add it in personally.
I've seen loads of software out there that does SIM change notification, and owner change notification, but not the whoie package, including GPS location.
I think these guys are on to a winner, and I for one am certainly gonna buy this.
What can I say, It's mint!
wow, this is an awesome idea. i plan to try it out once i get my phone for sure. great find.
Brilliant find and brilliant software. I too will be trying this when I get my phone!
Talk about impulse buying.
I just bought it. It costs £10 GBP and you need to provide them with your email address and your IMEI number. The website only accepts paypal (not a problem for me)
The cool thing is as soon as the PayPal payment went through it came back immediately with the unlock code.
What can I say, I'm impatient, but it's great.
Interesting
So... I played around with it and it rocks... I am definately buying this.
Made me realize something kinda scary.... Just follow me for a second here.
The Kaiser has everything.......
1. Cameras on both sides.
2. GPS
3. A Microphone
3. A record of our:
A. Internet browsing History
B. Contact Info
C. Call History
D. Almost all of our personal info... (Depending on how we use it)
4. And... last but not least... and the most important... the ability to be connected to the net all the time...
With all these features... and a program that runs on a personal computer that connects to the phone via the web and can operate all of the above features, but not letting the phone user know the features are in operation.... turns the kaiser into the perfect spy device, or, BIG BROTHER bug.
Think about it... With the right aplication, one could know, where you are, what you look like, what your doing, what your saying, and any personal info you choose to store on your kaiser.
Kinda scary huh????
JB
I definately wish my girlfriend had a kaiser now
Absolutely valid points there JB. I reckon all software developers for mobile phones should check out this site. Then we would end up with the ULTIMATE bit of anti-theft, big brother, all singing and dancing software

no need to worry, she is just fine, im taking good care of her
sounds like good software though, cant wait to get my kaiser and try this out on it.. sounds cheap enough to buy anyway..
Very cool app, I loaded it and gave it a spin. Sent it the code and watched the Kaiser wake, spark up the orange GPS indicator for about 20 seconds and within about 1 minute my other phone received the text message with Lat/Lon and Google Map Link. I only wish there were a way to do this from a PC, the google link would be a lot easier to work with then.
I purchased the prog. Two Issues;
1 - The Wimp web site asked for my IMEI number but their form accepted all but 2 digits of my code. Their site processed my order and emailed me a s/n code which is now not accepted by the prog. I've got an email in to their support folks.
2 - This prog places an icon in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. I don't like any icons there. Is there a way to get rid of that Icon and allow access to the prog thru an Icon/Link placed in "Settings" or "Programs"?
Other than that, I never would have believed that there could be such a clever and small application!
Edit, Tech support sorted the code by re-issuing a new code based on my full IMEI, their site is new and just getting started. Their response was really quick. Also you can enter the app and select "quit", the app will clear from the task bar, BUT, it will still respond to the code request. After a request, the icon will return to the task bar, hmmm a way to know if you've been "Wimped"
Also, I also tried it one time when a fix was not possible. It woke and tried to get a fix for it's allotted time period (3min default setting). After the timeout, it sent a text message telling me that it could not get a fix. So at least you would know that the phone is talking to you!

best "stolen phone" program?

what do you guys recomend for one of those "stolen phone" programs, and tracking your phone if it ever gets stolen?
SPRITE TERMINATOR or WIMP ..... but the programs are only good as long as you don't hard reset the device..... Once the device Hard reset EVERYTHING GONE
Thanks for the tip
There is always possibility to cook program with your settings inside ROM... so hard reset won't help... but cooking with settings - that's not easy.

Now we know that we can cook a program into ROM.. Although i am aware of the fact that there are so many Cooking Guides available here in the forum and that also become a problem for me to choose a best step by step guide for cooking ROM and adding a program into it.... could some one translate this for me....
I use mobile justice. So far haven't had to use it, so I really can't comment on it to much, I did play with it a little and like it.

You must try it Mate... since i myself using Terminator and its quite good.. BTW have you tried to cook any of the software into ROM with required phone numbers ?
On a somewhat related note, generally what happens to stolen PDA/Phones?
The reason for this question was that I was looking at "Ultimate Theft Alert v3" after seeing a link in someone's signature. I thought it sounded like a good idea, but I was aware that a hard reset would kill any protection that the program would offer.
So I was wondering what would happen. If the want the data from the phone they would be hoping it wouldn't lock, because if it does you can't get in to get the data easily. If it does lock and the SIM is still in (or it is taken out and not replaced), I assume there is some way to get round it (like auto-run from an SD card and copy off the data) and it won't have dialled home. Once that is done they can ditch the device....
If they do want the device, they will try and use it and, if it has a lock on it, they will have to hard-reset to get it in. If they had used a similar device before, they might hard-reset anyway.
So this means that most likely the device will not get the chance to dial home given most of these types of software don't auto-cook themselves.
If it is cooked into the ROM it would stand a much better chance of being able to dial home, but if it was not automated I would wonder if it was all worth it. By this time your data is safe (I am assuming you encrypted your SD card and the hard reset will have wiped the device ASSUMING the thief didn't manage to get data off while it was locked) and insurance will no doubt get you a new one.
So.... has anyone managed to use this type of software to retrieve their stolen phone?
GPS
Do any of these programs turn on your GPS and let you know the location of your phone as well as sending out an SMS? I thought I heard there are programs out there that do that.
yeah i heard about a program that would that i dont know if the ones they were talking about above do that thouhg. it was cool u send a text message with a code in it to your phone and your phone kicks you back the location of the phone

As i mentioned before, i am using SPRITE TERMINATOR and i do throughly test it. It do send me the GPS coordinates on the given mobile number and i also try the WIPE command from the other mobile phone for Data deltion and that command successfully delete the whole data including the Storage card... But after the deletion it locked the device..... But for GPS the device must be outside otherwise u have to send the command again....

Best anti-theft software for Kaiser?

Hello community!
I just wanted to see some input from you guys as far as what is your preferred anti-theft application for your Kaiser phone? There's a few applications out there, and the following is a short list of the most popular apps out there:
- WIMP (Where is my phone)
http://www.wimp-software.co.uk/
- MobileJustice
http://thinkabdul.com/2007/03/02/mo...monitor-sim-card-changes-via-gps-coordinates/
- Sprite Terminator
http://spriteterminator.com/
Theres a few more out there, and I am curious as to see which one has the best options and capabilities. Some of them have GPS tracking systems, others can wipe all your information remotely, either way they have the potential to become real handy in extreme cases.
If anyone has a story to share where they used these applications in a real world situation please share it with the community as well!
Thanks
Sprite
I have tried Remoteprotect, and Ultimate theft before Sprite Terminator. Remoteprotect works great but no GPS and Ultimate theft would not shut off when tested. It keeps forwarding the text and its also a gimick you have to buy it in three separte sections. So I would recomend Sprite Terminator.
you can also try this on http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/
free and working.
I am also interested in installing one of these programs. Is there anyone who has tried more than one of them? Which do you recommend?
does anyone know if there is any possibility that we could implement the HP security system for there new ipaq phones into other WM phones?
something like what is explained in the end of this video...

Thats cool, I was thinking of looking for a program that did this. You cant be too careful .
The only downside I could think of if the sim gets yanked out you´re screwed - right? :S
How does it work, does it trigger a GPS connection every couple of minutes?

yes i am also concerned for that aas well... but i remember reading up on one of those programs listed above that also works in the background even when the sim card get pulled out...
There was one I was looking at, don't remember the name now. Maybe it is one already listed. Anyway, you could go on the internet at any time and see on a map where your phone is, and if someone thought they were going to just take your SIM out and replace it with theirs the phone immediately sends you a text with the phone number of the new SIM card. I thought that was cool, because you would then know who was using your phone.

Wow awesome! Thx for this! The only thing to find out is how to hide it, and cook it with settings into a ROM.
These are all great programs but.....
I had my 8125 stolen and the crook just did a hard reset and the recovery software was gone. Luckily the bad guys had other bad habits and the cops found them. They recovered my phone but it was totally wiped clear, had been reinstalled with new music but no tracking software.
Because not just heavy users know how to do a hard reset the thing that is missing is having the tracking software burned into the rom so it can't be erased. I know this is quite A challenge. But when and if that can be solve we will have a good tool to protect our Under perfoming HTC devices (could not help that last part)
Cook the app into a ROM isn't that hard i think (also i haven't cooked a ROM until now, but seen tutorials which explain how) and in case of smartphonetracker the settings are saved in "settings.config" so we need to cook in a file which 'simply' copys this file into the "Program File" folder. Doesn't sound too hard but the "simply copy.." is may the biggest problem.
For sure nearly everybody who visit this forum is capable of flashing a new ROM and therefore can avoid tracking. But the bit more security is worth the effort, in my opinion.
I still don't understand.
Let's assume some asshole and steals your phone. Why do they do with it?
Option A - Re-sale. Surely this shouldn't be possible as the original owner of the phone will contact the network and the IMEI will be blocked.
Option B - Access to Data. You're device is password protected (right?) so they need that to get into the phone via activesync. As long as they don't switch it off, it might not lock the screen so they'd have to leave your SIM in... but then they'd surely be intelligent (they want data after all) go to flight mode and it won't be able to dial home. And then there's the media card.... even encrypted it probably wouldn' be hard to bypass. Surely the best you can hope for is to send a message and have the phone kill itself.
Option C - Phoning <insert foreign country>. Same answer as A.
Result is, I do not see how this software can be of real use. The best thing that I can think about for this software is someone can text you while you are driving and have it reply where you are on your behalf.
Or am I missing something?

Many Kaisers are not bound to their phone network. I can insert another sim card and use it without limitations.
well how about some thug takes your phone and isn't to savy tech wise. He doesn't take it because it's "the top of the line" driverless phone, no he takes it because it's shinny and looks expensive. So maybe they are smart enough to just turn it off for a little while but at some point they turn it on to check out what it does and to see if it works. I'm thinking at this point you get an email or txt with the gps location. Drop that into google maps, call the coppers, grab a chainsaw and head to where google leads you.

Wich ANTI THEFT program is better?

hi guys, I have my precious HTC touch diamond for a week now, and because of its beautifull shine, everyone wants to have one.
That's why i did some searching on the web about anti theft programs, and I found these 3
Ultimate Theft Alert v3
W.I.M.P.
Sprite Terminator
They all look pretty good, but before buying anything (or downloading ) I want to know wich one is best to pick, could you guys help me with that? also keep on mind that the program has to work on a VGA screen
Thanks, Markos Wahid
Tried three of them also and decided to (actually buy) sprite terminator with a coupon disc 50% (forgot where i got it thou), reason to buy:
- support
- price (very cheap!!!)
- easy to use
a program called mobile justice thats free and does the job, if you burn it in to a ROM before you flash the ROM to your device it will resist hardresets as well unlike most programs out there.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/
not to mention a steel chain with a steel lock, one end at yr diamond, second one around yr neck
jokes aside, ultimate theft alert is the most popular.
i am sorry to see that the diamond in his actual configuration doesn't support the very slim chance that somebody will find it and be willing to return it, i am talking about OWNER INFORMATION!! gone in the invisible "today" screen
I need some advice to burn Ultimate theft alert to a ROM on diamond.
Is this possible?
^probably... check the developer forum..theyd be better at answering that...
i think the guy who makes ultimate theft also posts here...It seems the nicest.. the other alternative is sprite...the middle one doesnt look nice. i dont really know since i never had a wm device. im just saying from what ive read...
I tried to install Theft Alert but the instalation crashes...
Has anyone the same issue?

Settings --> Owner information --> Options --> "When the device is turned on, display: Identification Information"
Sprite terminator requires some additional editing. It says my GPS location is in China somewhere.
Ultimate Theft seems to work alright, but I havent tested it yet with the sims, which I'll do in a few minutes.
I like the ULT 3.5 better.
what i'll like to know is how to burn. the developer section have no guide on actual burning and takes for granted that we're rom cookers so i for one, understand nothing T.T

I agree. All these softwares are useless as most people would hard reset the device.... As far as cooking goes, I really want to get into doing this - I just need the 'beginner' tutorial, before the 'hardcore' tutorial..
Even the SPL must be protected against reflashing of the phone then. Is that possible?
So locking the SPL so no new SPL can be flashed either, and new ROM flashing is impossible then.
There are too many smart people who just fix that 'hot' phone with UTA or any program to original. And the thing you want is you phone back.

Well I do know that HardSPL has overwrite protection and you cannot flash a new SPL after you've installed it. Although there will be a 'downgrade' package soon so you can get back to stock SPL.
I don't understand why there isn't such a flash and/or hard reset protection...it's just very frustrating when you lose the device(like I did once) knowing the next 'owner' could simply hard reset (or flash a new ROM) to use it as his own device. I know, cooking some settings into a ROM solves a little piece, but more and more people are aware of XDA-dev and know about flashing. So you could cook your anti-theft into your ROM, but agianst flashing there is nothing u can do
Well, I thought, it should be possible to lock SPL flashing, by encrypting the bootloader by (my own) password?
On the moment one makes flashing without my password impossible, a antitheft program can be installed in the ROM and running always, even with hard-reset.
One should vind an easy way of providing MY sim card data into that rom prior to flashing.
Hi Folks,
But back to the topic, is there any anti-theft programs that really works in the first place for Diamond? I had tried Star Enforcer (it can't get the current IMSI number), Mobile Justice (it can't send out SMS) and RemoteTracker (can't run... I need to research more on this..).
Cheers.
mobile justice, did you install the certificate? most problems are as a result of that not being done, give me a PM if you want a hand and ill talk you through it, it does work well, but as already been mentioned all it takes for any software is a full flash, if you install many of the apps to the ROM before flashing it you can at least survive a hard reset.
Thanks Dazza,
I had missed installing the certificate.
But now, after some testing, I found out that it was only able to send out SMS unless I select "Disp.MsgBox".
Is this something expected? May be MJ needs to be re-rewritten or recompiled for WM6.1?
I'm aware of the hard reset issue. Am planning for myself to learn how to cook up a ROM, with my details in, to prevent this.
Cheers.
Tried UTA 3.5. and WIMP
Both can send out Text messages to designated telephone no.
But i thought UTA 3.5 could monitor the sms and phone calls going in or out of the phone. but it didnt seem to work. it crashed. and when you inserted a new sim it kept on asking whether i wanted to run the .exe file not very good.
Am testing out WIMP at the moment and seems to be ok.
but not alot of functionality if compared with UTA that is if UTA worked.
That would be a very good idea if you can input it into the ROM. but will you not have to mess with the registry to 'register' the product and keep your data.?
Well,
When I did a hard-reset last week, I observed that the device begins installing some software onto itself, just like it did when I first powered it up. May be we can cook up something into a cook ROM to do something identical? E.g. the settings required for MJ?
But then, I'm a noob at this stage (with a full time job and family). So, I'll have a very long way to go.
Cheers.

Never, ever, ever...

...have your Diamond drop out of your pocket in a restaurant.
My Diamond was stolen today. We have the guy who found it on camera, and turns out he gave it back to the guy behind the cash register, who then, most likely, took it home with him. As the footage isn't sharp enough to absolutely say he did it, we couldn't search him, and so he went home with what most likely is my months' salary.
Poor me. Time to get a new one, I guess. Bye, bye, month of work.
Thats why I have a phone insurance.
You need www.wimp-software.co.uk or Ultimate Theft Alert.
Oh, and a baseball bat. lol
Yep W.I.M.P. and the next time should be fun.

How does WIMP work exactly?
What triggers the event to send SMS with GPS co-ordinates? Also what if there isn't GPS reception?
There is also Sprite Terminator http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/?pid=195#
They have discount offer when upgrading (if needed) the Sprite Backup, which is included on the Diamond Appliacation disk (could be region specified).
to avoid these situations:
i cooked mjustice into my ROM
very simple and easy job to cook in
the software also simple and it is free...
you can also install it but a hard reset deletes it. so go cooking..

Sorry to hear that Rami.
I guess I should think about cooking a anti theft tool in my rom as well. Any tutorials on this avaible?

What triggers the event to send SMS with GPS co-ordinates? Also what if there isn't GPS reception?

Once wimp is installed, you (or anyone) can send an sms to the phone with your password and the phone then tries to get a GPS fix and then texts back not only with the co-ordinates, but also a hyperlink to google maps!
If it can't get a fix within a set time (you can set this period) then it texts you back to say this. I'm not sure if it keeps trying, but I think you have to send another text later if you get no fix from the first attempt. None of this is shown or alerted on the phone - but the diamond GPS getting hot may give it away!
It's also good if want to find out where someone is - a child, elderly relative etc. I do some late night call out work, and have given the password to a few people just in case.
Getting my new Diamond today. Still a major bummer.
What if someone replaces the SIM-card, the phone would have a different number, right? So how would I SMS it?
at least this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203 is also triggered by SIM-change (have not tried it though)
the most thing I;m concerned about: more and more people are beginning to know how to flash a new ROM...one's a new ROM is installed, you can really say bey bey to your phone.
About the SIM change: when changed, All anti-theft programs will sent you the new number of the sim to a predefined cellphonenumber you have set.

You set it up to automatically text your chosen number when a SIM is changed. You then have the thief's new number to text
