Thank You Rick Celphas for your suggestion. But as I am planning for my final year project I must develop or append some advance features in my application. Initial idea is good, but if you have further suggestion of features, which can be added in this application.

Well you could make these options:
Remote access security functions(factory reset, change locmscreen password ...) from other phone by sms or call.
Trace the phone with GPS(from another phone or website)
Get remote control of the camera, sound and vibration.
To get peoples attention and make pictures of the areay the thief is.
You can find alot of things people would like to be able to do when there phone is stolen

Thanks for your suggestion. Will search further about all suggested app ideas. If any help required will ask.
Start by looking to what would make your daily life more easier and more enjoyable
An app, which shows the nearby cashpoints would be cool.

I'm enjoying my 2nd android device but can't find the website to use the remote functions.
Could anyone help or share the link?

You need to go into the Kies Air app, it will give you the URL for the website - you'll need to be on the same WiFi network (assuming its much the same as Kies Air for the original Galaxy S).

Are you talking about the site to remotely find and wipe your phone...
I tried it yesterday... Couldn't get the remote ring to work unfortunately...
It's called Samsung Dive (.com)

Thanks for your advice... I just checked and I did enter it the way you recommended... But it doesn't work. The other features for tracking and call logs work... Weird!
Is it worth using Samung Dive remote tracker etc if I already have Lookout installed? I haven't managed to find any reviews for Dive...
I am using Dive. I do not have lockout.
I am also using Exchange with remote wipe enabled.
If your phone is new, do everyone a favor and test remote wipe through samsung dive
I wanted to do it myself, but by the time I found time I already had my phone heavily customized, did not want to ruin that.
In Dive I only tested "Locate" and "Lock" features, they work at first glance, but again I did ont try to bypass the "lock" feature - it may as well be possible.

You can use one if you're paranoid but in my opinion its not needed. Just watch and review everything you download and look over what permissions they ask for. Always download content from trusted sources and also read the comments/reviews to see what others feedback would be.
Not always. But its definitely nice to have. Get lookout on the market. It will automatically scan apps. If not for that its great for finding your phone if its lost.

Yes I also HIGHLY recommend Lockout for total package. We don't need virus scanner but even if we had virus the scanner won't pick it up as it has to be in the definition.db for it to work.

You create a log in at look out's web site and if you should lose it you can remotely turn on the GPS to track it, or turn on a siren type alert tone so you find it if you lost it in your house our your car. If you have the paid service there are some extras like remote lock, and remote wipe.

Whoa. Thanks. Setting this up immediately lol sounds incredibly useful and good tool to have so theres no worrying about the Ifs.
Question about the paid service, say I DO lose my phone and want to remote lock and/or wipe, can i pay for it at that time then use that feature, meaning i dont have to pay for it until i actually need it. Or does it require some setting up on the phone's end?
After attending a talk about how to market our applications in better ways I just published a library I developed to ask users to users a rating on the Play Store.
It is extremely simple. It keeps track of the first time the application has been used and a counter of the number of times the application has been launched.
You can configure when you want to ask the user to rate your application both in term of number of launches and days from the installation.
When the conditions are met, the library creates a dialog with a button to open the Play Store page of the application, a button to postpone the alert and a button to dismiss it and never get asked again.
You can get the library from GitHub.
Feedbacks and recommendation about how I could improve it are very welcome.

Step 1ownload the libraries.
Step 2:-Then copy the .lib file to the android libraries folder in the project tree for the app you are designing.
Step 3:- Happy coding!
There doesnt seem to be a libs folder. I imported the Javas and followed the directions but don't know how to configure the gradle modules cause I'm using eclipse not studio.

Hello, while this is a good idea to ask for a rating, don't harass the user with it, and don't ask it too soon, leave the user some time to poke around

Thanks for pointing it out. It is extremely important and the parameters regulating when the application should ask for a rating should be set with care.
I decided to try to make it the less annoying possible by showing the message only once (if not explicitly deferred by the user) when both the conditions on the number of launches and on the time from the first launch are met.
Do you have any idea about how I could make the message even less annoying?

I guess a good way would be to be to add a little shiny icon, if the user is curious (s)he will tap on this little icon, and that's the moment to display the pop up kindly asking for the review. This nice little icon taking little space somewhere on the screen would appear after a period of use to leave some time to poke around.
It will have the advantage of playing with end user's curiosity, and not aggressively show a pop-up, since the user will trigger it from it's own action.
Application's developer will be able to use something that fit the current interface or game as icon, not throwing the immersion to trash in a brutal way.
Backup plan in case the user isn't curious would be to still show the pop-up the hard way after some more time.
Some usage example could be adding the icon to the levels list in a game, or adding the icon somewhere in the toolbar for a file manager, text editor. Placing it next to a connect button for a social/messaging application.

Thanks for your comments. I'm going to support custom ways to show the alert to the user. The library will still contain the alert message but developers will be able to show whatever they want (possibly something less invasive) when the conditions are met

The library stores its data in a file and when the dialog is marked as processed it sets a flag which disables further notifications.
Actually a user may see the dialog twice on different devices. We could avoid that with the synchronisation of the data file but I don't know if ot is worth the effort

In a file means its not shared preferences right?
So if the user clears the app data, the file content will live ?

Unfortunately I used shared preferences
I was not thinking at the scenario where the user first uninstalls and then reinstalls an application

Ok... we can try creating some sub mechanism for that,
I.E. checking a file in external sdcard (requires pernission).
Or getting data from the internet whether the user has already rated or not.
Hello, using Internet or a file somewhere can be a good idea if the application itself already use on of those permissions, but it's not legit for an app to ask for Internet or file access just for this, security wise, we should only give the strict minimum permissions the application need to work.

How could i keep GPS turn ON even if the user disable it manually?
Any trick or ideas? Could be for any device, rooted , busybox, etc.
I just need an idea of how i could keep the gps always on. It is for tracking purpose of employees. Sometimes they turn location off manually, and i could not monitor their location.
Any apk or application ready for this? Please PM me or post below. Any trick is ok, xpose modifications, rooted modifications, etc, but it must work, thats the idea.
Devices: Usually new ones 4.x OS
Waiting your feedback experts!

You could create a service with a BroadcastReceiver which listens for any change in the GPS setting and then re-enables the GPS. That could work without root though I'm not sure if such a Broadcast exists.
The other option would be to use xposed and hook the method which sets the GPS in the settings.

Excellent, you could contact me by PM to arrange the development and the payment.
Remember that the idea is to have gps always on. Even if the user manually unclick it on the menu bar, it is reactivated again internally.

Does anyone know of a program or app that works on phones that have the Location Services turned off? Probably not, I'd guess, but figured I'd ask. I leave Location Services turned off whenever I'm not using something that needs it, which is most of the time.

I don't think its possible. Without location services turned on how would an app find your phone. Just curious, why don't you have location services turned on? It isn't a big hit on battery so it doesn't make since. Unless you are one of those big brother is watching nuts.

Nuts? I don't think there's any reason to get personal here. And you don't have to be a "nut" to see all the privacy issues in the news almost daily. And with companies like Google, Face Book, etc that are avowed data thieves, er, collectors, I think it's wise to do what I can to try and keep my data more private.
I am a senior programmer for a large international company. We got into data mining way on the front end of the craze. But we never stooped to collecting the levels of personal identity level information most folks just accept these days. So I know how it works, and choose to limit what they can collect from me.
I'm sure you've heard of App Ops? (Assuming you're either on 4.3 or a custom 4.4 ROM that has it). OEM's like to hide it away, but it is still there and still very much usable. You can set which permissions an app can use (to a certain extent) and if it tries to access something you've turned the permission off for, the device returns an empty set (essentially "null") for that data.
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter
This app just calls the location where App Ops is in Android. Note that this app will *NOT* work in 4.4, since Google changed the way it's accessed.
edit: I've used this to disable a lot of what Facebook can access, among other apps.
Thanks! Looks like a great app. Runs great on my 4.3 S4.
