Hi all,
Is it possile to send (via MMS, WAP,...) some application on the device
and run it absolutely silently for the user?
Preconditions: we know only device type (Windows Mobile based device)
and phone #. No additional software is preinstalled on the device.
Thanks!

if it was simple then i suspect we would see lots more virus's and malware on our devices
would say it would require a replacement of the sms recieve part of the device
You right. But may me if application is signed with (M2M) certificate, for example...
Doesn't matter.
There is no preexisting infrastructure for this kind of thing in WM OS.
Like Rudegar said that would be the best loophole for viruses. In fact I can't think of any other apllication for such feature. Even desktop windows doesn't update itself without warning.
Keep in mind that the user would have to pay for the data traffic, so if this is for a legitimite software, it would be one many people wouldn't by (unless you don't tell them what it does).
Hi All,
Has anyone come across a freeware/paid mobile locate software for our Diamond or any pocket PC device.
I would like the app to be something like the online version of Mobile Locate
There's an app called WIMP (Where Is My Phone) which uses GPS to trace your phone. I think you send it a text message. You can also program it so that it sends you a text if the sim is replaced with the new number and the phone's GPS co-ordinates.

I'm actually looking for an app to track friends, girlfriend or wife rather then worrying about my devices security. Not that I don't care about my phone!...I luv it and it has everything I need in a day-to-day life including security systems if lost/stolen.
google maps with lattitude
You gotta pay for WIMP, Remote Tracker does same thing but is for free.

Yes I agree with the earlier post. Google Latitude is just the ticket for you. It works really well.
Well, my application might be better and the first too! Check out my signature..
Wow, they all look great but I'm keen to try out Google Latitude.
Here's a neat app to add into your cell, this I've just begun testing and may stay with it for awhile.
The idea of a security app for Windows Mobile was not a very convincing one in the past but when we hear about new security vulnerability on Windows Mobile devices, we have to give more priority for security related apps for Windows Mobile. Flexilis is one of our favorite in this category. They have responded to the new vulnerability very quickly, the latest version will detect and delete the ” Phone Creeper ” app which gave us Windows Mobile users a security. ( a fix for version 0.6 will be rolled out soon ).
Along with the Anti-Virus and Firewall app, Flexilis also provides a module for Backup , this module will let you back up your contacts and photos. You can also transfer your data to a new phone.
The Anti-Theft Module in Flexilis enables you to respond when your device is lost or stolen. Locate your device, sound an alarm, wipe your personal information, remotely from the web.
The best part of this is all of this is for FREE and if you find a new security flaw with your device you can also let the Flexilis team know about it.

Hello all,
I want to buy several moto g 2014 phones for my company, but i have a problem. All contacts on phones will be updated by exchange sync and stock contact app have a contacts export function so user employed in our company can export and steal firm contacts. . Is any chance to prevent contacts export? Can stock contact app be modified in the way that export function be disabled or removed. If possible I will pay somebody to change contact app.
Many thanks in advance.
Not for nothing but what prevents someone from just writing contacts down to steal them...
We have a 40000 contacts, and every contacthave few phones, skype, address, so its very difficult for user to write down them all . Probably user will ne need mouths to do this. I just want to prevent automatic process as export.
Hi!
I'm a lawyer in Brazil and I think what you're looking for is to prevent a data steal by employes in your company, right? The way you're thinking actually doesn't prevent anything but you can make it hard to proceed in two ways. 1. You can distribute contacts by groups instead of giving access to 40nd at once to each coworker or 2. Add an activity monitoring app in each device. In this case you (have to) should inform your team by Contract. A local especialist lawer must give you better directions on how to do it. There's a lot technical ways to copy contacts in an smartphone, so the safe way is monitiring (logcat'ing) all the cellphone operations. Regards
This is not a solution for my problem. I need to prevent contacts to be stolen physically. So if I lock settings and package installer with pasword, encrypt phone storage than only way for user to steal contacts is with export fuinction. This is reason why I want to change contact app to remove export fuction. ZTE phones have a phone app without export function but i dont want to buy ZTE phones for firm. Please help.

I got your point but the problem on make it happen under Android plataform is the many ways you can share the contacts. For a simple example get the possibility of temporarily install another app or use some adb pull n push on it. To prevent any data to be shared is most likelly Impossible.
The only way I can imagine is by imposing legal restrictions and monitoring operations on cellphone and this can be done easily.
Hope you find a way to reach your goal.
Regards

Hey guys, just wondering if any skilled devs could think about this
What is iMessage?: iMessage is a great product that Apple uses to bring to and keep people on the iOS platform. But what if we could bridge it to android?
Situation: Many people have old iPhones (or can buy cheap on Swappa) I have a jailbroken iPhone 5. I also have an LG Nexus 5X. What if we could bridge the two and bring iMessage to Android?
Is it possible?: A while ago, some "enterprising developer" found a way to let android users communicate with iMessage. But all of the traffic was being pushed through a server in China. It was shady as shady gets. An APK teardown revealed some unwanted code abilities. But the point is that someone did it and that it is possible. Here at XDA, we can open source the code. We can create a clean, safe version for daily use. Just a little more DIY action.
The Idea: Use an iPhone/iOS Device as the host for iMessage. (The Android will handle SMS, but the iPhone will have no SIM and only send/receive iMessage messages) (P.S: Keep phone number attached to iMessage) The iOS device will most likely need jailbreak to execute the actions as it is far more locked down than Android. So the iOS device will likely sit on a charger, connected to wifi 24/7, acting as the messenger between your device and iMessage. Think of it as a translator.
You will also have an Android device with the appropriate software to connect to the iOS device over the web and send/receive your iMessage texts over the internet. The android app will either be the primary messaging app or a background app. Maybe it will even need root. I don't know. But if it's the main messaging app, it would be a fork of the default messaging app in Android and have the mods needed to connect to the iOS device running iDroidChat. If it's a background app, it will work with any messenger app and will simply act as another source of messages. Like a second SMS server/SIM. It may need root for this functionality.
The Bridge - A connection made over the internet between the iOS device and the Android device. The 2 apps will be encrypted with manual username and password entries. Both of which are entered into each app. The iOS device will host the connection (secured, of course) and the Android device will connect to it using the app. Once the iOS server is running, it will display it's IP, Username, and Password. Just enter these 3 strings on the android app to connect to the iOS server.
Future Plans:
1) An HTML implementation where you can type the iOS device IP into a web browser and it will have a UI for iMessage.
2) Pushbullet integration for mixed SMS and iMessage.
Execution: I'm going to say it up front. I don't know much about coding. That's why I am actively learning Java. But for this project to be possible, I need the XDA community. I will not accept any cash or profits whatsoever from this. I simply want to support the community.
My Role: I will keep the project in shape and help out devs as much as I can. Let's do this. Project Manager. yay.
Check out amphora Messenger on Twitter. So far it seems possible however developer is extremely busy currently. Pie message is also a working solution however needs a dedicated Mac computer, I phones are not possible
