The Idea is an Application that Autoposts to a Web Page the Current Time, Lat, Long etc to a persons personal Web Handling page....
Thoughts for Preferences Would be something like
FORM FIELDS
Send Lat as: <LAT>
Send Lon as: <LON>
Send Time as: <TIME>
Send Elev as: BLANK
etc., etc.
SEND CRITERIA
Distance Changes >: <10> <mi>
Time Increments : <30> <min>
Dont send if Distance not met in time <checked>
Resend Later if Data Send Fails <checked>
WEBADDRESS
Send to: <http://gis.mymapsite.com/Upload.cfm>
Send as: Form <unchecked> or URL <checked>
The concept is that it sends out on a timed, distance, or time/distance combo bases to this site your URL Position so coders Code write their own server side code to log this data or do whatever with it.
this example would look like http://gis.mymapsite.com/Upload.cfm?LAT=45.6789&LON=-90.45679&TIME=10162008
I've been web app programming for so long that i'm not sure I could just pick up VB as fast as I'd like...if somebody likes this App and is willing to tackle it I will donate both time and money...if Not could somebody tell me What i need to get started programming this myself i.e. Programming apps, SDKs etc...I dont have any Visual tools...so what would be the cheap and easy start?

I do need something Diff but That is a Freakin Awesome App
As soon as Alltel has "MY" Diamond in Stock I am so there with that Tool.
My problem is I Want to use my Own code and my Own Geospatial Database for this so i really just need a very tamed down tool for what im thinking...
...I suppose when i get the chance I could see how the submit works and tame it from there and junk his server code for mine...
THANKS FOR THAT POST...I LOVE THE APP
I've watched some hd2 videos on youtube, about feautures and that...and there are contact photos on email tab. There is sender's email and next to that his face.
Well, I don't have any photo here, only after tapping email and opening it with outlook, I see photo of the sender.
Is there any option to toggle that photo on or off, is this only in some roms, or why I don't have this?
Thanks for answers
Did you try to add any contacts in the people tab?
Once you tap "Add fav.", you can select any contact from the popup.
If you added pictures to your contacts, you will see them, too.
The most of my contact's have photo attacked.
It works when they call me, it works with sms and mms, it works if email is opened with outlook, it works on people tab...everything works...only on email tab I don't have photo...
But I can't find any info if this is an added feature in new roms or is in every rom and it just doesn't work for me...?
Not seen it on any rom i've tried. But then the email tab is only a preview, it hasn't 'opened' the email.
For example here at 3:20

Heh, well you cant trust a promotional video, now can you? How about all the noises the phone seemed to make when swiping around in the promo videos? not in real life it didnt!
But what we see is windows mobile running...I am sure this exist...maybe just not in official released roms if nobody knows about it...

Thats exactly what i as thinking. IF ONLY someone was able to make those sounds work. Is it possible?
I'm wondering if there's any apps for HD2 that works like "mobile defense" for android that can track the cellphone via a computer and activate the stolen device's GPS to track it.
F-Secure Anti-Theft for Mobile
Here's a very recent freebie from F-Secure
(Anti-Theft for Mobile)
http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/products/mobile/anti-theft-for-mobile/index_main.html
Remote Tracker - Antitheft Software
Here's another one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203
Can any of this be activated or monitored by remote PC??? Cuz i actually have a block message service for my cell phone account.
Im using Lookout for mobile
https://www.mylookout.com/
"remotetracker" (no space is intentional)
this is the only anti theft that i managed to install. the other are all too compilcated.
will notify on sim change. sms command are case sensitive. locate command will always tell location unavailable even when google map locked on gps.

this one is better. no need to use second phone. can also locate using cell id and show it on google maps, like latitude. good to find lost phone with the screaming features.
did you use the anti virus and firewall?

F-Secure sms to finland?
I've had F-secure anti-theft in my phone for a while now. The txt location service works great, and last month I tried changing the sim, and guess what, got a sms on my backup phone with the new sim's phone number, which is exactly what it is supposed to do.
However, i checked my itemized bill today, and see the program sent an sms to Finland immediately after texting me. The number was 358400112368 . Googled this number and only got two vague references to f-secure on a nokia. Why in the world would they need to txt their mothership about my sim? Anyone else using f-secure anti-theft? Please check your bill and let us know if it sent a txt to finland.
As far as using other similar programs:
Mylookout : never worked for me, website says searching, and times out.
remotetracker : Stay away from this program!! its txt request uses no password, so anyone who knows you have the program installed can secretly monitor you via sms. An intentional oversight from the developer perhaps? And pretty malicious at that too! Edit: got it, see post below.
ms myphone : free version can only check the daily sync log. I cannot initiate a location search unless i pay, or am I doing it wrong?
so, anyone with f-secure got the txt to 358400112368? I guess this post will be the only 3rd google search result for this number?

wrong.
yes it does, if you dont set a password then yes, anyone can control it, , but set a password and it doesnt respond to control txts without it.

my bad. thanks Samsamuel for the correction. i re-read the first whole page of that remoteTracker thread and the word "password" was never mentioned in his post or instructions.
as far as my original question regarding F-secure, anybody else see the outgoing text to finland when they change SIMs?
no worries.
i for one can't rate remotetracker highly enough. i cook my own rom, so its cooked in complete with settings, so its completely hard reset safe. only way to stop it working is by flashing.
that random text you mention sounds a little iffy, you tried emailing them? see what they have to say?
another vote for remotetracker.
It found my phone when left in a taxi
the F-Secure thing looks nice, i think im gonna try it this evening
lets see if it really sends a sms to finnland xD
I came across this thread, and just downloaded (didn't install yet) the f-secure app.
A couple things I don't understand.
I believe I have read posts here about needing a "backup mobile number", for the company to send SMS to, if something suspicious is happening with the phone.
But what if one only has one mobile number, no backup? Is the app then useless? (Couldn't there be an e-mail, or a call to the landline?)
Also, I see that besides giving this app away, F-Secure sells "mobile secuirty". (I guess that means anti-virus and such. Is that really necessary? I have never used an AV on my phone before, and never had a problem with that AFAIK.)
With the post about the SMS to Finland (probably company headquarters), it occurs to me, they may give away this anti-theft app, in order to get your phone #, and send you text messages advertising their AV app? I wouldn't want to get spammed with text messages. Has that happened to anyone using this?
remotetracker can send email
i've changed sim few time. fsecure only send sms to the assigned number (i know, i've itemized billing, and i can send sms internationally).
anyway, since it can never reply with correct location, and i've already figured out how to use remotetracker, i'm ditching it too. plus, fsecure will always pop up with it stupid checking for update while i'm using my phone. can't it check quietly?

see my previous post. it always say location not available.
I just tried lookout. I like it more than remotetracker because it's easier to use (the online "dashboard" makes it easy). The thing I hated the most about remotetracker (and other apps dealing with coded SMS) is that I would have to use an authorized phone and the proper codes to do whatever I need to do. At least with lookout, I can just go online and kill all my data and locate my phone.
I tested the "locate" feature. It found my phone in 2 minutes, but it was a little over one mile away from my phone!
The "scream" feature: It's a loud firetruck-type siren...it was a little bad because San Bruno, CA (one city away from me) had a horrible fireball accident a couple of days ago.
I guess it does its job. The locate feature is decent, but to think that it was off by 1-mile, it could make a difference in a big city.
Anyone else have problems with this? My MT4G keeps trying to put the pictures in a "slideshow" or something, and I either get error messages when trying to send the pictures to people (usually people without android phones or android but not MT4G), or the people get an error when trying to view the picture on their phone. This has happened with 3-4 people now. I have to end up emailing it to them. What gives?
Could anyone else try this? YOu don't have to send the picture, you go to gallery, view the picture, share it with "Messages" (is this what I'm doing wrong?), and it adds it to a slideshow thing asking if you want a new slide or whatever. I don't think other people's phones support this though...

Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > access point names > T-mobile Data. make sure u dont have Telkilla selected
This fixes the MMS issue, but I am now unable to download things from the market except by WiFi. What gives? it just freezes on "Download starting.."
Another thing, can you make it not do this slideshow thing? What does that even do anyway? What happens if you try to send a slideshow to a non-android phone, does it just show up for them as a text with a picture attached? What if your slideshow had 2 pictures?
Sorry for all the questions, I just cant find any documentation on how this slideshow stuff works... :/
A slideshow is how HTC sense handles multimedia messages. Try downloading Handcent to handle your messages. I don't think they use slideshows.

I think it's one of the default internet service provider for one of the main apps we use on the MT4G.
I wouldn't Delete it I would just switch to the tmobile data one, just in case we need that service provider for like for example Video chat...
Just talked with tmo pda support...telkilla was a testing apn, they released it with default to telkilla. He told me I had to delete it, or reset would set it back again.

Can you guys download apps from the market (WITH WIFI OFF) when you have the tmobile network selected? I can't. Mine says "Download starting..." and doesn't do anything for like 5 minutes (didn't wait around longer than that). I asked tmobile and they told me to clear the market data/cache, but that didn't help. They then told me I could try returning the phone. But I don't really want to do that.
I just want to see if this is just my problem or if this is everyones!
Hy.
Do anyone know an app, maybe free, that if I lost or stolen my phone the app make pictures with the front camera and send it to an e-mail address or phone number with the current location? And if somebody make pictures/videos/phone call or send a sms, the app automatically (after a SIM card change too) send it to me or a preset address (e-mail/phone number)?
Thanks in advance!
I use an app called gotya unfortunately it's not a free app but it's cheap price on Google play it takes picture of person who tries to get into your phone plus it sends you an email with pic of person plus location very good app and there are other stuff you can do

I use tasker for this. I have created a profile for tasker in this manner- If not connected to home wifi AND if I send it a specific "xxxxxx yyy" message from a certain number, it activates a certain tasker profile. Then it does the following every time someone tries to unlock via pattern lock- take front and rear pictures, turn on gps and mobile data, send pictures and gps coordinates every 25 minutes to a certain number and email. It also does the same routine every time I send it a specific message like say "location update" from a certain number. Once battery level reaches 30%- start backing up data to cloud accounts.
It can be programmed to do more of course lol but that would drain its battery very quickly. Also if someone just pulls out the battery/sim card, puts a new sim card, and then flashes a new rom, there's not much that can be done I guess with tasker or an app..
I like 'where's my droid'
Cerburus is my personal favourite
But these are not free And I do not want to use it via sms. I more prefer the website communication.
Prey.
Edit - You do realise there's a very simple/logical reason why most of these apps use activation SMS's (rather than web based); if I'm a thief & nick someone's phone, the last thing I'm going to do is turn mobile data on, but obviously if I'm going to actually use the phone, I'm going to leave mobile networks on.
I use avg anti virus protection it works great.

Since someone sold my S4 last month and I was careless by not installing any kinda anti-theft or security, i googled a lot about this stuff after buying my new phone. Always set a password/pattern lock for your phone. It not just helps against thieves but also against nosey family members/friends/co-workers, etc. About the free anti-virus/anti-theft app that captures pictures from the front camera as well as the capture location and sends you an email, Lookout Security & Antivirus works just fine. It takes a picture of the person that incorrectly enters your password/pattern more than 3 or so times. It also has a signal flare feature which emails you the location of your phone when the battery is low. For all this to work well though, i suggest turning on your phone's GPS along with the mobile data when you leave your home (assuming you're on wifi there). It might affect your battery life a bit but it's worth it imo. Samsung also has some anti-theft features built in btw. Go in Settings>More>Security and you'll see a 'Find my mobile' tab with Remote Controls and SIM change alert, set them both up asap. Also once you do all this, in the Security settings, go into Device administrators and make sure Android Device Manager and Lookout are both checked. Hopefully this helps you!
