hi there. is there any freeware for android like a mobile tracker.. like you enter someone number and the device just try to locate the location where the cell phone number is using the gps something like that.. i think iphone have 1 kind of freeware like this.. but i want it for an htc android platform..
thankyou.
Isn't that privacy infringement??!!
There is an app called where's my droid which you can use to locate your own cell phone if stolen or lost.
InstaMapper can be triggered by SMS, but its up to the device owner to install it and set up access etc. Position can be tracked by anyone if you allow it

This is driving me batty so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I just have not used the right search term to find the answer.
One feature I can not seem to get working on my 8125 that I used constantly on my old smartphone was the ability to have phone numbers entered into the location field of a calendar invite automaticaly dialed when clicked / tapped.
I have on average 6 conference calls a day entered as calendar events and it is standard practice for our company to put the conf call number in the location field. Having to edit the event, copy the number then go to the phone and dial it is driving my nuts.
Anybody know a way to get the feature I used to use so much from WM 2003 working my WM5?
Thanks in advance.
You might be SOL...
My limited tests show that you have to come up with some way to send yourself an email reminder and dial from the email....
You said that you used to be able to do this in PPC2003 but I think it is a feature of the Smartphone edition. WM5 on Wizard is PPC version.
You are correct
In further review my old phone was using smartphone 2003 not a full windows mobile client. This was a GREAT feature hopefully they will get this into windows mobile soon.
Thanks
I have the same need. I sure hope someone can provide that. I tried Pocket Informant 2007, but the capability is missing there as well.
I found AgendaOne has just what I needed for this and more at:
http://www.developerone.com/agendaone/index.htm
It's a commercial program, but does alot more. Specifically designed for both Windows Mobile 5 PPC as well as Smartphones. You can try it first.

where is mobile justice in the tnt 2.0 pro at thanks
You can get it here - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
I'm still trying to figure out exactly why anyone with a wizard (or any model that doesn't have GPS integrated into it, which is most of them) would want to use it anyway. The only thing you can do with it is send text messages to whoever stole it that will show up on the screen without them actually knowing that they recieved a text message. Doesn't seem like much of a deterent to me.

Just curious, I went to the Mobile Justice site and it implies it only works on GPS enabled phones. Will it still work on a MDA, and if so, will it transmit SIM information so you can identify the thief or provide information to the police so they can track it down?

You haven't looked to see what all the program does... Sure we can't use the GPS part, but the main feature is you register your SIM card(s) to MobileJustice and if someone was to put in a SIM card that isn't registered, when the phone reboots it will send out an SMS to devices you have registered. You will then have the phone number of the sim that is now in your phone.
And yes, you can then send SMS to that phone number in a formatted way (if you enable this feature) and text boxes will show up on the phone...
I've also put in a request with the author to have another reply type message so you can send an SMS to the phone and it will reply back with the IMSI of the SIM card currently installed (so you can report both the IMSI and phone number to your carrier. Hopefully you keep your IMEI number safe someplace already so you can report that as well).
So this is a very capable freeware program for the Wizard. We just can't use the GPS feature (although if the thief hooks a GPS device up to it, that may work. Anyone with a GPS attachment that can test that?)
Sorry mfrazzz, I for some reason forgot the fact that it sent you back their phone number also.
Another thing that would be cool if the programmer could add would be if it sent you back their sim contacts, that way you could start calling all of their contacts and let them know that their son/daughter/employee/spouse/friend or whatever is a thief and possibly find out the persons name and maybe even their address in the process. That way you could notify the police exactly who stole it as you're filling out the stolen phone report.

Actually I think its been requested for either that, or access to the PIM database (too much info I'd think for that though).

I just saw this topic, And tried it out.

Mobile Justice works perfectly on my HTC touch pro
Mobile Justice works perfectly on my HTC touch pro
This has killed my GPS in my HTC Touch HD, every thing says there is no GPS device no mater what port i set it to... going to have to wipe the thing and start again
Works fine in my mogul and touch pro. Thank you.
I'm looking for the best phone tracking software in case it gets stolen. I have been on www.freewarepocketpc.net and there are loads. Someone else posted that they use WIMP (www.freewarepocketpc.net) which is $15 after the trial. WIMP sounds pretty good, but there are so many free versions out there. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good free one, as I haven't got time right now to install all 30-odd and try them all.
Thanks!
I think RemoteTracker is quite good.

Thanks for the tip. Have installed (painless). Will test when the wife gets home!
I tried WIMP after reading this page.
it is absolutely gorgeous.
Took my phone and kept it next to the window.
Tried to sms the wimp code to my phone.
WIMP catches the sms without making it noticable and sends you an sms back with the exact GPS location of your phone and a link for Google Maps.
And even better, it will send a sms to the phonenumber you entered in the settings with the new phonenumber of the new simcard in the phone that has been "stolen".
Which means that you'll still be able to send an sms to the phone even if it doesnt has your SIMcard in it.
I choose WIMP.
I've used Ultimate Theft Alert v3.5 with success.
A killer software to Secure your Expensive Pocket PC Devices!
Ultimate Theft Alert is the best security application ever designed for Windows Mobile based Pocket PC devices.
Every mobile phone has a unique identification number called IMEI and likewise, every SIM has IMSI. Using this unique number, the software could distinguish the owner and thief.
Once your Pocket PC is stolen, obviously first thing the thief does is remove your SIM card and insert his own. Ultimate Theft Alert will identify this and send alert messages to all your alternate numbers directly from the thief’ SIM card. (You’re actually getting the thief’ mobile number!)
In addition to the thief’ number, the software will also forward you all his incoming SMS and incoming caller numbers. Knowing this, you can easily track down your stolen Pocket PC.
The possibilities don’t stop here. You can remotely control your Pocket PC when Ultimate Theft Alert is installed. Remote functions such as locking, unlocking of device, erasure of personal data and files can be done easily by sending a secret SMS command to your stolen Pocket PC.
When your Pocket PC has a GPS chipset built-in, Ultimate Theft Alert can pin-point the location of the device too!
To the best of all, the thief is completely unaware of all your tracking works. The secret SMS commands are all hidden from regular inbox and there will be no trace of SMS sent from your device too!
There's a significant section on XDA here when they were offering it for free, but I think the offer has expired

I use UTA also. And apart from the error message you get everytime you reset the phone (and yes I know you can disable the alert)...it's the best I've tried
I use WIMP also. its easy to use
I use smartphonetracker (google is your friend) now which is fairly painless and free.
The Everstealth software allows you to view a complete list of all the incoming and outgoing calls made on a particular mobile phone. An Employer would find it useful in determining if a phone was being used to make personal calls at the company expense.
There used to be a very good application in market by the name of "Call Location". This app. used to decipher mobile or fixed line numbers to tell you location and service provider of the caller. This was pretty nifty application which now (I guess) is missing from the market. Since then I have been using "OpenAnnie Caller ID" application but looks like this application is temperamental and doesn't work half of the time.
Any other application you guys know of that provide this kind of functionality? Thanks in advance!
Peoples help.
I use an app called "City Caller ID." It only shows the location of where the number is registered. No service provider or land line/mobile line ID. But it was pulled from the market. http://phandroid.com/2010/02/23/lawsuit-city-caller-id-application-pulled-from-market
Hello,
I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.
I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...
I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?
Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)
Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.
Hi!
On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.
I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers
I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.
I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though
