My wife is traveling and I wish to be able to locate her. She's gotten lost twice already and she's traveling for SEVERAL hours from Indian to Minnesota.
She has an AT&T Epix with GPS integrated.
Is there software that I can install on my AT&T Tilt that will allow me to locate her? Her GPS is working, but the Google Maps is a little hard for her to track.
Thanks for your help.
have you tried altenative..
have you tried an alternative or checked this out ,( if so, ignore my suggestions.) as a backup ,if you cannot find what you are looking for ?
the name is the same as your heading..."GPS LOACATION..BY HIGHWAY "
of xda ,found under development and hacking, or try link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549517
example ..your wife could send you sms /email with link , which is just case of selecting, email or sms option on the software tab,
when you receive email , click on relevant link ,and you can see her position on google..? ( you dont have to do no tracking ? it pinpoints you with , street name and no ..)
i find this "gps location application ", very handy (works perfect on my hd )
hope this helps
Google maps with Latitude ?
gpsed
Try gpsed, http://gpsed.com/downloads. Free version allows tracking in as little as 1 minute incrememts. Installs on her phone, she activates and you follow along on any web browser. Works well.
Thanks for the reply. I don't know what happened. I've got my notifications set to INSTANT notifications and I didn't know anyone replied.
Well, she's traveling now and we don't have the option of installing the program. We have AT&T Navigator on her phone, and it's SUPPOSED to be able to SHARE the location, but the AT&T reps who PUSHED this product on us HAVE NO CLUE as to how to make it happen. And tech support hasn't returned my call.
I also want to install a program on my son's phone so that I can track his whereabouts WITHOUT his knowledge as well.
I thought there were programs out there that would allow that.
gpstoday.. www.geoterrestrial.com .. awsome app and will tell you down to the address of where she is.. and you can see her on a map all for free.. you will need to have internet access on the phone though..

Thanks Chris. I'll take a look at it now. My wife and I both have data plans. Is there something to install on EACH phone, or just MY phone since I'm wanting to track her?
Thanks for your help.
I know there a lots of them on market. But I dont have the nerve to test them all. Can somebody recommend an app that sends me the phone number of the inserted sim card per SMS.
Would be cool if it also could send me the GPS location in a pre configured interval per SMS.
Thx...
i found one that is working perfectly for me...

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Mobile Defense is a great, free anti-theft app with GPS tracking and remote lock.
I use WaveSecure. It has GPS tracking, online backup, remote wipe, remote lock, sms alerts and (importantly) uninstall protection.
I got a free subscription a couple of months back but I think you have to pay now.
Wouldn't a wipe via recovery console erase everything though?

Yea, you can always wipe from recovery but that isn't well known outside forums like this. It's unlikely a thief would figure that out before you've tracked him down and sent the rozzers round.
I found Mobile Security but I guess the app dev is no native english speaker (like me). His description for the "Security Code" feature is hard to read and understand. Any chance someone uses this app and can explain it to me?

I would like to receive the phone number. My GPS is turned off most of the time. A lock feature is nice indeed but i guess the phone lands in the next dumpster when its unusable.

I regulary buy paid apps but 20$ per year is too much i think.

I'm pretty pleased I got the free subscription offer now..

Did you even check out the www.mobiledefense.com? I will report the current SIM information, including phone number. If you are rooted and install the app in system/app, it can also turn on the GPS itself, telling you the location of the phone.

jepp, I did. The thing is I forgot to mention: its only available to Users in the United States
Besides Mobile Defense, there is Lookout. Although I don't think it has as much features though. I haven't kept up with it so I'm not sure. I don't think they give you the option to wipe your phone, but I'm positive they can do it if you ask them to.

Have you asked them about when they're planning to launch outside the United States? They might not be too far away.
What about viable alternatives for users looking for free protection outside the US?
Has anyone tried Anti DT (http://www.antidroidtheft.com/)? I've installed it but never used it (Thank God).
Features that are advertised on the website?
Email alerts when someone changes SIM cards
Online location tracking of your android device using GPS or Cell Towers (Any Web Browser)
Spy Camera: View images taken from your phone's camera.

App name ist "lost phone"
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.gadgetprojects.lostphone
I also found "Lost Phone" one of the easyest. AND working, coz I have tried some other, inserted other SIM and nothing happening.. TRY before you buy and get your phone stolen
Too bad there isn't a wipe included. So to complete my anti-theft I added "Remote Wipe". Didn't test this one yet, need to backup my 16gb card first, don't wanna loose all that
If you have sensitive material from work on your phone you need something like this. Those two together put my heart at rest and bring me a "safer" phone.
I will give you a list as my G1 was stolen, I know these apps worked becuase it wokred for me but, the f*#^in" dumb... asssss I was saying... the cops never helped me go retrieve the phone. GPS number, cell number, and G1 box with IMEI number provided.
Enough with bad memories.... The List is :
Sim Checker will let you know of a new sim inserted in the phone as well as, the number and gps coordinates/number/location(address)
Wavesecure lets you add friends so they'll also know when your phone is stolen with features such as, Remote Sd card format, Remote lock, Phones will lock with an unknown sim, gps tracking, and backup of contacts, sms, call log, and now has uninstall protection.
GPS Tracker by Instamapper is a great way to track your phone in real time.
There are so many choices... I'd get them all!
Check out this one
This one identifies itself by IMEI, for each device a own APK is created.
You can control your mobile with sms commands, the itself is invisible, no app icon, nothing, and it can be changed to a system app.
Great

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
This works on my Bell Vogue, with Myn Warn Donut RLS5 on nand, to access Canada only apps such as the TD Bank app.
Get the application "market enabler" from here. I went to one of the linked download sites the author uploaded the app to.
Look up your 6 digit network code from this long list and enter it into the market enabler custom field.
Voila !
----------------------------------------------------
I am running Myn's warm donut on my Vogue here in Canada on the Bell Mobility network.
I wanted to install thhttp://code.google.com/p/market-enabler TD bank app, which is only available through the Canadian android market. I'm guessing because my ROM is based on a US carrier's ROM that I am accessing the USA android market. I can not find the TD bank app.
I tried the locale settings but English-Canada is not even an option.
I assume this issue is not limited to warm donut.
Is there a way I can get my phone to access the Canadian android market?
Thanks in advance.
the TD Bank App isn't available yet! It was on the marketplace a few days ago but it was only for a short time as it was released accidentally. I am on Bell and I saw the app using Myn's Warm Donut rom so when it is actually released you should be able to get it!
There is actually a news piece over at MobileSyrup about the TD bank app that talks about the release!

I did read several articles on it including that one. My understanding is that the app IS available now, even TD's website claims it is. What the articles said was that TD in error released their app to the global android market. When they realised this, they quickly withdrew it from the global market, and made it available only on the Canadian android market.
That is why several non-Canadian sites became aware of it, and likely how you briefly saw it using your Myn's warm donut ROM, until it was quickly withdrawn from the global market.
Here's the scoop from androidspin. com
The mystery of the vanishing app has been solved. To refresh, yesterday’s market-fresh apps post included a pretty nice looking app for TD Bank of Canada. An astute reader pointed out the app was now missing, so I put detective Matthew Cram of corporate and public affairs of TD Bank on the case. His answer is elementary:
The TD mobile app for Android is only available via the Canadian Android Market. There was a brief (one hour) window last week where our Android mobile app was mistakenly made available globally. I assume that’s when you saw it?
We hope to have a U.S. version of the TD mobile app for Android ready by late summer.
Cheers,
Matthew Cram

So anyone north of the border should still be able to find the TD app in their market, and it looks like us Americans will have a TD app of our own in a few months. Case closed!
installed the warm espresso theme and then a lot more regions were available in local settings !?
selected english canada, but still the us market
rebooted - still the us market - no td bank app
(I am in Canada on Bell)
anyone know how to change app market country?
Looking forward to this being figured out. I have myn's warm donut rls 5, wish i could get that TD app.
boing - er bump !
You are the man!, worked like a charm in Central America, thank you very much
Ive been looking for this for months!!! works great, in canada, on vogue, bell network
Not working here...
IS there a way to do this without rooting? thanks.
I'm in a closed circle
I want to download rom manager which is not available in the market of my devices country, the enabler needs rooting (I'm not sure if it will work with HtC desire hd android 2.3) and rooting needs visionary+ and it's not working on this Os version..it's like endless thread...anyone has an idea?
Thanks!
Wrong thread. Please, delete this post.
Changing you country in the root code
Does anyone know how to do this, i'm trying to use the Market Enabler but it is not working. my code is listed as china and i,m in the US HELP please.
Thanks for this advice, but the linked-to list doesn't show 6-digit codes. I see a 3-digit MMC and a 2-digit MNC. What 6-digit code are you referring to here?
Thanks
OK I am confused, I have an HTC My Touch Slide running 2.2.1 (T-Mobile) I am using it here in the Philippines I wanted to get my banking software off the Marketplace, just rooted the phone, can now run 2 different Market Enablers, both work... I change the location, now I see everything in the Marketplace in US dollars HOWEVER the software is still unavailable because I am not in the US, how do I fix this? I much appreciate the help!

yes simple download a VPN app such as Hotspot shield VPN1 click or any other activate it , long press your play store app then app info clear all data and then access the play store and its done just make sure you changed your IP first through the VPN app
We got a problem Hustom
Hi team,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, Romanian SIM card, operator Orange.
Device is not rooted.
I Launch Market Enabler > Set Custom tab > and input the MNC and MCC for Italy, operator TIM (22201) > Set to this values
If I go to Settings List tab > long press [it]TIM > select fake this provider now, it is still showing "we got a problem Houston"
I tried with original SIM card in and out of the phone, and different combinations.
Why is it now working? what am I missing? (brains, i know.)
Thank you in advance,
Dan

This app doesn't work anymore.
Has anyone used this app. I have used it for a few days and it is alright. It works good when I go shopping with my wife. You just open the app and click the store your in and scan the items it tells you for points. You are supposed to be able to cash points in for gift cards and what not. I have a referral code that gets your 50 points to start. Pm if you want it. I don't know if am able to post it to everyone.

Been using is for awhile now, there are some bugs here and there, and when you switch roms, make sure you are logged in again when using it.
Otherwise the main annoying thing, it is pretty darn difficult to "walk-in" to a store with captivates craptastic gps, either that or their entry points are way off. I have only successfully walked into 2 stores, and can't even repeat that success at the same stores.
Shopkick Walk-ins
I just started using shopkick. Did some research on how it works, the walk-ins use an audio sound from what I've read. It's frequency that's above our ability to hear.
Shopkick
Also, if you're interested, I have links to the bar codes of many of the items to scan. I use Location Spoofer to set my location close to store location so I can scan the bar codes off my computer screen.
gps 100% better on newer models
I got a captivate back in september and recently I hard bricked it. So Iwent to the store and they gave me a new one for free under warrenty (they couldn't even turn it on and apparently the power back on was a known issue for the model I had, even for now rooted users). Well long story short, even before I did the kies mini update to froyo I noticed the GPS was spot on, really fast before and after update. I think the older ones suffer from hardware issue more than a software issue.

DISCLAIMER : I'm not responsible if your account gets banned, your gear vr goes up in smoke or your paid content is taken away at some point.
how to ...
1:
go to the play store and get the app HOLA
it's a VPN which will allow you to launch oculus home app as if you were in the USA
if you do it correctly, you will see all the paid apps
2: ***** APPARENTLY THIS STEP NOT REQUIRED .. ALL CC ACCEPTED *****
now you need a US based credit card ...
go to neteller.com, create an account
put some money in the account (many different payment methods)
choose to receive a 'Net+' card, basically a mastercard from Neteller
I have one, and even though I live in the Netherlands, it's accepted as a US card. (sometimes thats a problem, today its a blessing)
your card will come via snail mail in about 4-5 days
3:
in Oculus home, go to settings, add payment method
enter your CC details
they also want a state/city/zip ... just choose a US city and Google their zip codes.
This works 100% for me, however when you are not connected to the VPN your paid games and apps will not showup. And who knows, we are probably breaking TOS so they could potentially take the content away from you.

You dont seem to need to do step #2, just use a US IP and put your credit card in normally.

Do you guys have checked app permissions of HOLA VPN? And do you feel confortable to use your credit card through a free VPN that ask you access to your identity, position, device ID, etc?

The folks at HOLA are not able to intercept the transaction, there is another layer of encryption. We are basically putting an SSL encrypted 'letter' into another encrypted VPN envelope... They can decrypt the VPN packets (and they must in order to forward them to the final destination) but not the SSL layer.
Although SSL is pretty broken, based on a broken trust model and broken code ... but in theory .. we should be ok.
HOLA can have all my identity info, device id, position ... have fun with it. They are providing me a valuable service for 'free'. I'm ok with that as long as they stay out of my bank account and dont steal my private pictures

Eu card, works fine. Other continents work fine as well, judging from the posts on other forums.
Credit card companies are usually pretty good with customer protection against fraud so hopefully we should be ok
