(IDEA) Burglar alarm

My idea is as follows ... taking advantage of our g-sensor devices (Pro and Diamond) someone could make a burglar alarm. When someone takes our device has to put a pin, unless it makes sound an alarm ... I've tried ... but do not know anything about programming. What you think?

That is a good idea i must say
But who would leave their precious diamond unattended
Lol but it wud be pretty neat, maybe catch out your friends who may decide to start looking through your text messages or email lol

that will be very cool soft. maybe one of the best for diamond.

Accurate! that's the idea ... Could serve to maintain the bride, friends or family away from your phone.
The idea would be to move that (after 5 seconds for example) if you have not had the pin (or just turn the device) is activated the alarm .. And the pro also led the ...

Maybe, some developer could tell me how I can make this program ... My knowledge is very low but I like to learn ....

it would be nice, but the sound of the diamond isn;t that loud, so i wonder if it will be usefull

It could say, "Don´t even think about it" when someone takes it

this is exacly what i was searching for some time ago...
should be deadsimple to build... i can image...
and as far as the volumeisseu.. if the sound sounds horrible and the burgular cant deactivate that sound.. he will go nuts and leave the phone right where it was..

There is a program named WIMP, when you text message $WIMP**** you will get a text message back with longitude & latitude of your phone, which it will get from GPS. It also sends within the text message a google maps location with the current location of the phone.
If the phone's sim is changed, it autmatically sends the same sms message to a back-up number that you'd have configured too ...
****= a code that you configure yourself, lets say 0000

These are all good ideas actually.
We should combine lots of these ideas into an 'Anti Theft Protection Suite' with options such as warn if SIM is changed and send GPS co-ordinates, the WiFi I.P. addresses the theif has connected to, sound alarm when PIN has not been entered, and better yet..
Maybe even have the phone silently take a picture with it's front camera and send the image via MMS or WiFi so you can identify the person.
Its actually a longshot and theres lots of work and programming involved in this but if such a program existed, I probably would buy it.
For now, we can stick with the basic yet effective idea of sounding the alarm if the PIN is not entered.
But just one thing to note though - you would have to be careful when you turn the anti-theft software on; if the phone is in your bag or pocket, it will be constantly moving thus prompting the PIN screen

Anti-Theft software for TP2

Hey guys,
This is my first ever thread on the XDA forum.
After saving up for a long long long time, I am now a proud owner of a TP2. And now, I am constantly worried about it getting stolen(my past two phones were stolen).
I know this topic has been discussed for other phones before. But is anyone using a good anti-theft software on their TP2? Are any of the softwares recommended for other phones in this forum giving any errors with TP2?
I dun mind spending a bit on it. I read about the Ultimate Theft Alert v3.5 and the Sprite Terminator. The sprite guys are having some promotion for HTC owners. Does that mean it is highly recommended for HTC devices?
I am not a developer and is pretty dumb about flashing roms and all that (even though I cant wait to learn more. Expecting all your help and co-operation). So please provide me a simple solution for this.
Thanks guys

I do not think that will be easy that an anti-thief fully protect your investiment:
Normally first think every thief does is shutdown the equipment and remove the SIM Card. After that he could simply Hard Reset the equipment, returning the equipment itself to factory specs, so the anti-thief software is deleted. He can also change the IMEI in a relatively simple way.
Main tactics:
Never show your equipment if you are in a relatively empty street, train station, etc;
Always use the equipment with a firmly grip on it and always watching the surroudings;
This is simple common sense...
I know, that is going a little paranoic but some care is always a good thing.

Good point!!
Hey Black Phoenix,
thanks for the reply. for some reason, I didn't think of the possibility of the thief doing a hard reset.
But, I feel it is still worth investing on a software like Ultimate Theft Alert coz there is still a chance that the thief might not do a hard reset. So can you recommend a good software among the popular ones that works for TP2? I forgot to mention that I am from Singapore. I dunno whether my location makes any difference?
I still have not played with my phone a lot. But i believe TP2 has GPS? So doesnt that mean some of these softwares can give me the coordinates of my phone? Will my location matter for this feature?

As I told, first thing that any thief does is shutdown the phone and trow away the sim card. With the phone shutdown, no gps coordinates or remote lock. And believe in me, the ones that steal know very well to cover the tracks, so for sure they know how to hard reset a phone (I'm still looking for my Asus P535. For sure is now hardreseted and IMEI diferent, and also had GPS. It was stealed 1 year ago).

Install this. It's FREE. If a theif changes the sim card, you will automatically recieve an SMS to the numbers you have configured in the software. You will recieve his phone number + IMEI details. Configure your e-mail address and atleast 2 different phone numbers in the software so once you recieve the theifs new phone number or if he has not changed the sim card then you can send a special text message (read software tutorial) to you sim card or theifs new sim card which will activate the gps and text the co-ordinates to the nominated phone numbers you would have configured and an e-mail with link to google maps showing exactly where the phone is.
This thing works 100%. My house was under google maps with the right house and street address. I was stunned.
Also a thief is not literate enough to jump aboard XDA forum and search "How to hard reset a Touch Pro 2". They don't have time and most don't even know that technology like this exists.
Also once the Hard SPL comes out for TP2 and Cooked roms start releasing, you can either cook your own ROM with this software pre-installed with the right settings or request someone to cook a ROM for you with the right e-mail and phone number settings you want so even if a theif does a hard reset, software will still be installed again with those settings.
And to uninstall this software, theif needs to enter the password which you need to configure. I recommend you go through the tutorial.
oh and IMPORTANT. Install this to device memory because if he takes out your memory card and it's installed on the memory card then everything will be useless.

wow powersquad.. that's sick software.. curious though if it works..
maybe that new 'phonecreeper' that the xda-member wrote could have possibilities of tracking your phone after theft when installing it on your own device?
Jeroen

Great!!
Wow.. That is infact real cool. Just wondering whether there are any advantages of using your software over, maybe, Ultimate Theft Alert.. Except for the price.. Just curious.
Thanks a million for this.

It works 100%. I have tried changing sim card and I got the text of the new card's phone number on my 2 nominated numbers straight away. GPS Co-ordinates were both e-mailed and texted to my nominated number and e-mail address.
In order for e-mail to work you need to have an e-mail account configured on your phone already like hotmail or gmail.
Ultimate theft alert is paid. This is free since made by xda devs.

I use smartphonetracker, veryeasy to use and very reliable, works for a year now and just fine

hey... i agree with black phoenix completely... u never know these guys are too quick...
not unless the theif is some corporate theif, who wants ur data... i don't think he will leave ur phone without a hard-reset...
but for the first 10-20 minutes before he figures out how to do it.. i think a better solution than Ultimate Theft Alert is Maspware's Guardmobile
here is a small list of its features
* You can initiate an alarm and lock the device
* You can locate your device (GPS receiver is required)
* If your stolen device contains top secret data, you can do a hardreset remotely to erase all data!
* You can initiate a callback to overhear the thief
besides the above.. it also tells u if the sim card has changed... - which btw no foolish theif will do without first doing a hard-reset...
all the best...

Finnaly someone that supports me. I was thinking that I were the only one with the idea that most think that are strange. Looks like lot of people in this forum still believe in Santa's or in the Easter Bunny.
If it was a hardware solution, directly solded in the Phone PCB, OK, that way I may garantee that you can return your phone, because his hard to bypass (if done correctly), but even those ways are bypassable sooner or later.

I think they would do it to be honest, it would take ages to delete all of the contacts etc. A google for "reset touch pro 2" is all it takes.
However, once we have HardSPL we'll be able to burn these utilities into the ROM so that they survive a hard-reset. Thief has to be aware of this and know how to re-flash. That raises the bar considerably.

lol, some people are just giving waay too much credit to theifs here. if they were literate and could afford an internet conncection to jump on google, they will not be theifs in the first place. all they care about is booze and drugs...

you must have some really nice thieves in Europe. i've seen lots of things stolen for no other reason then to just steal something.

I recently had my phone (xperia) stolen. I had only recently flashed a new rom so it had wiped my anti-theft software. I bloody wish I had put it back on now.
Saying that I was abroad with no-data running, but at least I may have got a phone number by text. Then again the number to text to was my girlfreinds phone which was also taken. Oh well!
It is very likely a thief will reset the phone ASAP, but some thieves will be opportunists who see something shiny and expensive looking to steal and wont be that technologically savvy.
In that case the software may well pay off (ignoring my senerio above).

We all know the issues (time lag etc.) with the GPS on the TP2. Why a thief would put a new simcard in the phone outside. Probably he/ or she will be inside, where no GPS signal is available.

What about "W.I.M.P" (where is my phone) ?

SPRINT~it maybe valuable~data network reprogram/set/reset info ~it maybe valuable~

First I want to say this site has a lot of talent on it and you guys should really be proud of what you accomplish and the benefits others get from them.
I started with a Sprint Galaxy Tab purchased day one from a local best buy. I recently bricked it by not following the directions to a T. All devices from Samsung, well at least my vibrant and this Tab have a factory warranty of a year from Samsung. I have used it for two vib replacements and then this Tablet which I replaced today. Basically below is the information I received from SPRINT moments ago over the phone to activate my device. My situation is unique because I have active service, but not on this tab so upon turning it on the activation process was different then initially on day 1 and I also rooted it with Super One Click prior to trying to activate it. The Sprint CS had me do this and what it caused was the device to initiate the entire data network configuration process all over but in a different fashion. MAYBE this is all already known or maybe this can give insight, see below::

Let me know if there is any worth in this and/or anymore info I can supply. Strangest part was that during a reboot the Sprint CS asked me "Do these things make phone calls?" I'm thinking your the Sprint CS and you know that it doesn't or isn't suppose to. Why ask me now.... What info may you just have given me. Have Fun!!

a lot of reps are retarded and just follow a guide on how to do stuff, I work for AT&T I can't tell you how many times people call in and say they been transfered around 10 times because no one can fix a simple problem like "device unlock" etc, but anyway I have a Sprint Tab and I typed that in my memo search nothing change... maybe I'm doing something wrong? I was just curious to look around! lol

I'm not sure what this is supposed to accomplish, but I'm dying to play with the guts of my tab, and since there are no ROMS out there, thought I'd give it a shot... Nothin' doin'. I'd love to know more!
Got a Sprint SPH-P100.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

All sprint device's that connect to the network and have any sort of plan have a phone number, including aircards and the tab, now just because it has a number does not mean it is provisioned on the network to make calls, but if someone could maybe add a phone apk to their rom to test it, you may be able to make calls, but there also may news to be some kernel adjustments or other changes for it to work but you could always try.
Sent from my CM7 EVO.

The Sph-p100 (sprint tab) will not make calls (CDMA calls. Voip is fine) on the sprint network as it is filtered by imei.
If you change the imei to, say, one for a SGS, it works fine.
Also it would need a different type of service plan than just data.

What!!! I can change the imei to a evo and get 69.99 unlimited everything??? Its retarded to limit these just because its a tab

There's an activation for the Verizon Tab that causes the tablet to make a voice call for whatever reason. During that time I can hear the call progress via the speakers and a green phone indicator lights up in the status bar. Given that, I figure it's entirely possible for the Verizon Tab to make voice calls. Is there no such process for the Sprint Tab?

There is no such process for Sprint. But those switching Sprint or Verizon tabs to metroPCS have no problem making calls.

How hard is it to switch to metroPCs and what's their network speeds like
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

Call and ask. Metro is very local so it depends. Check craigslist or howardsforums.
You got a contract?
Metro is not the cheapest way.

Just for future reference changing your ESN, IMEI and what have you is illegal and highly frowned upon by XDA, and is best not discussed as quite a few threads have been closed because of it.
Now on a lighter note, yes the Verizon Tab does make an initial call to activate itself but that is just their way of OTA programming the device, where as Sprint does the same thing, just without an actual voice call it uses a more discrete and software based method.
So in conclusion I can't definitively rule out being able to make calls with then over CDMA but I do know that both carriers have a lot of authentications that the device makes to do anything that will most likely reject your attempt based on your ESN and the whitelist/blacklist your ESN is tied to.

The ## number you pressed is your msl it is unique for every device on the network. It worked for you and will not work for others for this reason. You can however call sprint and ask them for this number, I myself have called and asked for mine for almost all of my devices. It all depends on how and who you ask. However please note that in here you have total control over the settings and can really do some damage if you don't know what you are doing so be careful.

It is not Illegal. IF XDA is frowning on it no one has ever mentioned it to me. Furthermore I apologize in advance.
As I posted in another thread, it is not illegal.
1) Legally named 'PCS' (Remember SprintPCS and MetroPCS) commonly called CDMA devices have NEVER been regulated as to changing ESN's. Only GSM (SIM) devices have. And ESN modification of such devices was repealed in 2003.
Relevant sections are Title 47 CFR 22.919. This WAS the section that held the language about ESN Changing. It has been repealed. (page 6 (p.77180) left column bottom.) Note that it is in Part 22. Part 22 only regulates GSM devices. But PCS devices are Title 47 CFR 24
Readers may Go HERE and select Title 47. Then the two sections as they wish.

[Q] Too easy to accidentally dial 911

I have my corporate email account added on my phone which REQUIRES the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen to be activated.
On LG G2 the default lock screen has a button "Emergency call - Press and hold". A call to 911 is dialed immediately when you accidentally press it for 2 seconds.
My 2-year-old boy has accidentally dialed 911 four times and each time 911 called me back and they'll send someone to check out next time.
To use my corporate email account I can't disable the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen. Is there a way to remove that stupid button, or change the "911" to be a invalid number?

You can buy a fake phone for your 2-year-old kid

He got 2 "nice" VTech phones already. I didn't give my phone to him by intention.
The problem is that sometimes I placed my phone on the table - maybe just 2 minutes, and he sometimes got the chance to grab the phone and the first thing he did is to "press and hold" that stupid button.
If the phone is not locked, it is harder for him to dial 911 - but I can't disable the lock screen due to corporate's policy.

Alright, to other outsiders looking in and still wondering which phone to choose, here is a perfect example of how beautiful this G2 is, it's up to the point that even a 2 years old kid would know/realize the beauty of this phone is and choose it.
Anyway, to OP, keep out of reach of children. You can do better than that, m8.

Hey, I am looking for a technical solution here.
I know I have to keep my LG G2 out of reach of children, I've got the lesson, but unlike a gun in the previous post, we are using the phone very frequently and there are chances that you inadvertently leave the phone somewhere that is reachable by a baby.

a. We know you are looking for a technical solution but it has to be reasonable. That feature built for emergency purpose as when you are in the panic mode, you can't remember that pwd for that moment, you need to access the phone and call for help. It's there for a reason.
b. Instead of looking for a "technical solution" that virtually nowhere to be found, why don't you invest into other solutions
+ In 365 days in a year, how many times you let your kid gets to the phone? Seriously, nobody mock you but we do expect parent can do more than that. If you can't do with 2 years old kid, how would you deal with 6 years old one and later? Change your style, seriously.
+ If you really really don't care changing your style and still want it, I think you can root your phone and install the modded version of Email which does bypass the restriction. I did it when still own the SGS2-i777, I don't know there is such a modded. like that for G2.
Anyway, solutions are surely out there but the quickest solution is your control.
It's from the bottom of my heart, no mocking here.

There is no other phone like G2 that make the dialing of 911 so easy - you may call out to 911 easily when the phone is in your pocket, or even in your own hand - many G2 users without kids are already complaining about it - the solution is to disable the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen, which for me is enforced by the security policy.
I understand a button on the lock screen for real emergency, but it's really too easy compared to iPhones or any other Android phones - they just open a dial pad for you.

I have my corporate email account added on my phone which REQUIRES the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen to be activated.
On LG G2 the default lock screen has a button "Emergency call - Press and hold". A call to 911 is dialed immediately when you accidentally press it for 2 seconds.
My 2-year-old boy has accidentally dialed 911 four times and each time 911 called me back and they'll send someone to check out next time.
To use my corporate email account I can't disable the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen. Is there a way to remove that stupid button, or change the "911" to be a invalid number?

I do not plan to give my phone to my kid.
Zoodles doesn't help because what I want to avoid is that when my baby accidentally reaches my phone while it is in locked mode, he can't place a 911 call easily. Even 2-step dialing is complex enough for him.
LG G2 is the only phone that "support" the 1-touch-to-911 feature.

where is that one touch feature ?!?!?! i dont have it on mine
uninstall it with app master

I got a real chuckle out of this thread. Thanks guys.
As a parent of four, all of which have graduated High School and two from college so far, I gotta say that your solution is in parenting. Teach the crumb snatcher to keep his hands off of things that don't belong to him and be smart enough to place objects higher than two feet up. It's really not as hard as you seem to think it is.
Or maybe just quit your job, get rid of the corporate email, and watch your kid 24\7.

My D800 actually has one long touch (press and hold) then another short touch to 911 (other is 112)
So it's like 2-touch feature.

It's a button on the PIN/PASSWORD lock screen, under the password pad.
You touch it for 1-2 second and you are already connected with 911.

I would try this and if it asks to confirm for 911/Emergency Dial then you can get Pro to also add a password to dial. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.callconfirm.free
You could just make that one number password protected/confirmed if you want. Or whitelist certain numbers.

S7 Edge Stolen

Hello guys, yesterday my S7 edge was stolen and I was able to track the device till one location, but couldn't find the device or the robber once I got there. I had the SM-G935F international variant (Exynos) - stock and first question I would like to ask is: Is it possible to turn off the device from the lock screen without the pincode/fingerprint? Because I think it was not possible when I had it.
I'm just asking because once I have reached the location the google maps timeline, stopped recording the movement of my device.. and have stopped since there..
Around 3 hours later my girlfriend (I put her contact as security), received a message on her device saying the SIM card had been changed. I had the device with 4G (wifi I'm not sure) and the lock screen was secured. I tried using Samsung find my mobile and was even more useless than google maps timeline, because It couldn't locate the device even when google maps could.
I went to the police and they say that, they could locate (but It's going to take a while) the sim card that was put on that IMEI.
Do you guys know another way that could help me know some information sooner? At least something I could help the police with..
Hope you can help me in some way.
I'm in Czech Republic btw.
Best Regards,
Neto

damn man, I'm so sorry for u, f*cking crappy ppl...
the easiest way to track ur phone is to detect via SIM/IMEI, for that u have to know that new code that was inserted (not easy for us, but police should have), all other services (google, samsung,whatever) works just when de phone is on and have a network connection/GPS active (that cannot be turned off with the phone locked), sad is, the phone can be turned off w/o problem at any moment. Last updates with google apps, doesn't let u use your phone even giving a factory reset because u need to put the last google credentials used in that phone (but I don't know if u have to activate that in some settings, in my older phone it was on by default)....
sad is no much to do here, hope police in your country is more competent that mine's

I also advise going the police route.
File an official complaint and ask for a file number so you know it's official and the investigation will be active.
Keep us posted on how things go.

I've already talked with the police, gonna know if they can find them by the EMEI..
Wish tracking devices were made much more simple..

Brother's stolen phone (iD*ot 6S) was found by czech police within two days (in Prg), so finger's crossed for you! If you are from Prague I could ask him which office he went to.

Not sure there is anything you can do at this point, but I will recommend an app that I use called Where's My Droid. You can get the paid version (I would highly recommend paying the small one time fee for this) and it does quite a lot. You can track it online from a computer, and even through text messages. You can use text message commands to take pictures from the front and rear cameras, get GPS location, lock the sim and prevent others from being used, and even change your pin through text. You set up the keywords needed so that others cannot send out a generic code to lock you out of your own device. I would highly recommend that app for your next phone. It may not prevent a theft, but at least you could get a picture of the criminal and provide that to the police as well.
Good luck on finding your phone, and I feel for you.

Thank you man, I will do that once hopefully I have my phone back. Does it drain a lot of battery?

wow. Wish I wouldn't have took a lot of measures in order to save battery and making the tracking of my device harder.. never again.. :crying:

Yeah, it's unfortunate, especially for a new phone that's not cheap.
One workaround I did when I broke my phone screen out of anger right after I upgraded was open a new line on my account so I only had to pay the upgrade price for the phone again. Not sure if you have that option for your carrier or even country for that matter. But hopefully the police can help you out greatly.

I'm sorry about what happened, my s7 edge was stolen too like 2 weeks ago, I feel you bro. ****ing thieves
