I was wondering if is there any chance to make this work by sending an sms.
I need it to be on as i pretend to use a GPS tracking software to track my phone in case of lost or being robbed.
That software can be activated with an sms but if the gps and the data plan is not ative it is not gonna broadcast live positioning and so on
I guess my phone is goona need root permissions but i can't be so complicated if someone has got some development skills
It'd be so much appreciated!
thank you
Try WaveSecure.
it is not about software man, i need to turn on 3g and gps if not enabled, that's the quid!
thx

doesn't support gps at all.
it is possible, there is an app called locservice on the market, as long as it installed in /system/app it can enable the gps triggered by a sms. maybe the dev can help you, or you just use the app to turn it on and then do whatever you like...
Its not possible to do it in code, android removed this in the cupcake update, not sure if thats what your asking but anyway...

Hello,
Is there way to disable the wifi adapter complete? The option to turn off wifi is not enough.
It should be invisible for the user? Is this possible?
Thanks for the help!

What sense make this?
Olioaglio
Sence...
So that the user cannot use the Wifi possibility. They only have to use GPRS/HSDPA. I want to make sure that they cannot connect to the internet by wifi.

You want to lock something for someone? GSM providers do that. We unlock here...
Hmmm ... strange request. I imagine you MIGHT be able to cook up a ROM that disables WiFi, maybe baking your own CommMgr that doesn't include it. But Ithink you'll have to do that o your own, since you would probably be the only person worldwide who would want a Hermes that had the feature killed.
And you've got to remember that whatever you cook out of the ROM, an astute user will be able to defeat, simply by flashing a different one.
It would probably be cheaper, faster, and easier to simply buy a different device that doesn't have WiFi to begin with. If you don't want the features, why buy the device? :?

Im looking for a program that will autosend GPS location data in either SMS or Email form.
The idea behind this is simple, if it gets stolen at a set time if there is GPS data available it is to send location data to another phone or email.
Ideally im wanting this to survive a hard reset but im fully aware that if its reflashed there would be no hope.
any ideas guys?

try and do a search, a few weeks ago there was a link to the software that will do this for you, i think it maybe called mobile justice, but not sure.
good luck.
mobile justice
yeah cheers, i found that, sadly it doesnt appear to work with the artimis, seems exactly what im looking for as well! just typical.
Has anyone got this working on artemis? or know of something similar?
thanks again
vito technology
Search for VITO- technology they are offering such a tool....

as good as that program appears to be, its only really helpful for keeping track of your kids, an ill be damned if there going to be using my £300 phone!
it wont keep track of sim changes more worringly, so a quick swap of the sim an its rendered usless, then flash it an hay presto!
Guys/Girls since we are equipped with an expensive piece of phone i guess this software is very useful! After all its Totally FREE!
Check it out! it is released by a guy called "Joubert Vasconcelos"
on XDA he is known as 'joubertvasc'!
I guess we all should have this on our HDs i have on mine already totally awesome and working!
this is where you can download the app.
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
this is where you find support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203
A word from the Original Site:
"This is an Antitheft software and you can use it to track your Windows Mobile device when it was lost or stolen.
It works catching a formated SMS sent from any phone, MSN, AIM or web sites and then send useful informations back. These informations can have GPS coordinates, list os contacts, owner informations and more.
You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eyes in your child. Use your imagination!
To use all features RemoteTracker has, your device must have GPS and GSM capabilities. If your device does not have a built in GPS receiver, you can get the position based on the Cell Tower it is answering. Please visit OpenCellClient project for more details.
If the thief change your SIM card, you will receive a SMS alerting you and you still can track your device. All you need to do is set an emergency cel number."
Enjoy!
i've been using this app.. really great stuff
UPS this is COOOL !!
I am always hanging around with an expensive piece of hardware, you´re damn right !!!
This will help to make me feel more comfortable with my SEX1
THANKS !!!
you are welcome!
Does anyone know how to cook this into the touch HD ROM?? as this will prevent anyone doing hard resets

When I read this post, I thought the same, this should be cooked in all roms.

Yeah they should actually. the guy who made this app is even giving out code to have it cooked in Roms.
My only question is even if they do cook this into roms, after a hard reset by the guy who steals the phone how will the settings be loaded again to the program? (such as the Number to SmS) hmm.. if they have a workaround on this too it will be so great!
for true tracking & protection and to be "cookable" it needs to be stupid on the device. By that I mean all it knows how to do is call home and report the phone IMEI & Location info. For example:
On hard reset it is set to run as a service in the background.
On New SIM Detection it calls home and report phone number & IMEI.
Server side has info for registered owener of the IMEI. Forwards the message to your e-mail.
If the phone was taken you can send SMS to the number to enable "active tracking" which sends location reports to home on a regular interval. All message sent home are forwarded to registered owner.
If a developer did this they might even be able to make a deal with providers so that the Call Home function is directly to the carriers and it gets built into the Stock Roms.
I use Sprite Terminator. Has the option to remove all your important data.
Usefull thread. but only missing small how to cook this into the touch diam/pro or HD ROM. The main problem is how to make that shortcut fo SMS

if your phone get stolen, you'll going to buy a new one. No deal for them
Ok what i am trying to do is reactivate the dial pad so i can call out on Google voice if it is possible. I see the mobile network and data in the es explorer. But they are both blocked. i love voice on my home PC. I know my friend with an android phone can use it the same as a regular phone call just like selecting a browser or media player. i was trying to make an app that dose it. I do have root. I am not asking anybody to do it for me but some pointers would be a great help.
PS if you did do it i would love to know how as i am learning how to add permitions and other hooks. this one is eluding me!
look into groveip. There is a thread about it in the apps area.
thank you but not what i was asking
As i said i was wondering where i can do it. I have seen the groove post before. It seams like a nice app but it dose not meet one requirement. I wanted to make it so i could change it.
Even if you do get a standard Android dialer to work(not even sure if it's really in Honeycomb), you'd still need the physical hardware to be present and working(definitely not in the WiFi version and unlikely in the 3G version without lots of work), hence the need for something like GrooveIP.

again i want to do something similar to grove but i want control over the source so i can set it up. I want to be able to record incoming and out going calls on it. My Iphone wont let me do this and voice only dose it on incoming i want to be able to record all calls and since i broke my back at work i am long on time and short on money so thanks again for recommend of grove but it dose not do what i want it to
and i have reason for this.
i am asking if anybody knows where or how not an app.
to find the apk or how to add the service and fake it into thinking it has gsm or to reset the Dial as i believe that will be a good start

Sounds like you're just kind of making up your own thing, better get to writing your own code.
am i missing a box in developer options or something? i cant find anywhere to check a box that allows the phone to download software updates over cell connection. Is this even possible?

Code:

Yeah I found out that this is not possible and many people have complained. Hopefully Samsung will listen and add the feature in a future update. Also I noticed you are now a forum moderator. Congrats

thanks man! after thinking about it, the amount of little unnoticeable interruptions in cell data might cause the firmware to corrupt over cell connections whereas wifi is FAR more reliable. Well, usually... LoL i can understand why they do it that way after pondering about it for a bit.
but yeah, i look forward to helping out as a mod where i can this forum has given me so much, im glad to give back!
