anti theft app that takes picture of assailant??

a friend of mine has this for iphone. basically, when an incorrect pin is entered on the lock screen the app displays a custom message the user inputs and uses the front facing camera to take a picture of the person who is using the phone! really cool. any idea if anything like this exists for droid?

Something like AndroidLost maybe
Camera
AndroidLost can take pictures with the front facing camera in case the phone is stolen.

Thanks for enlightening me about this super app! For just a few bucks you can remotely lock and wipe up to 5 phones, take pics, track the location on Gmaps etc. Simply amazing!

Great recommendation. Just installed the ICS beta...works great and I'll be buying the app.

So....will the app automatically send the picture to your email or it requires you to select "auto upload to Google+"? I hope not the second option cuz I HATEEE the way Google+ not letting us deleting the uploaded pictures from our gallery.

I don't make a habit of complaining about permissions. But why do we basically have to give this app control of everything, Skynet style.

i know where is your question coming from - but i have to tell you that you would be surprised how many apps are accessing the same info as this one is. i dont wanna call names - but titanium back up - for example and much more. try LBE privacy guard and find out. almost all GAMELOFT games are asking for emei and even sms log or call log mate/location as well - so i think it will make no difference and if you wanna be able locate your device remotely or even make a pic you have to givea permision to the app providing such a service.
you have to live with it or not use the special "protection"

I loaded this and it works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. The only thing funny is that the pictures seem to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the way the phone was being held.

The version of cerberus I used with my GN has an option where the screen goes all white and then snaps a picture with the front camera as soon as the screen is touched.
I also setup Cerberus to email everything to an account that isn't setup on the phone so if the phone is gone, the person holding it can't delete the emails.

Good stuff! I was looking for something like this! Another app you guys may want to try is an app that locks down your apps with a password or pattern. I havent installed one on my Gnex yet but I used one on my EVO (actually, come to think of it, it was native to MIUI).

Which is exactly what got me to patch the apk to remove that check. They should really have filtered it out using the Play Store filters instead if they didn't want tablet users.

I questioned them about this and their response was because they wanted to allow "larger phones" the ability to download.

Come on, after months and months of "developing", still no widget, no tablet support? Yes, you say you are working on a tablet app, but considering how long the phone app took, which is no more than a beta, it looks like a heck of a long time to wait for possible vaporware, especially considering the history of this app.

I agree that it probably doesn't work that well on 10" tablets but the experience on the Nexus 7 in portrait mode is good. Also, I assumed people using the modified app also used your app on their phone in most cases which means that no extra API token is taken up, unlike the included multi-user feature. I patched the app for my personal use but since people requested it I posted it here.
I honestly fail to see what your problem is with this. XDA users post patched APKs all the time to remove arbitrary limitations (Hulu, Netflix and Swype to name a few). If/when you release a tablet app, even a paid one, the interest for this will go away if the experiance is better. I'd be willing to remove the link to the patched APK when you release the tablet version. Until then, this is the only way for tablet users to enjoy your work.

Yeah, I tried unlinking and relinking. Didn't work. I decided to just pay the $5 per year and go back to DeskSMS. It has been super reliable across any and every build on my phone, and its companion, TabletSMS, has worked with both my Nexus 7 and my TouchPad. Worth the money to me.

App store issues?

Derp... wrong app. Finally figured it out

I use it but I'm a little concerned about privacy... Its obvious the actual texts and phone numbers are going through mighty texts servers to get from AT&Ts system to my nexus 7 which is only connected via WiFi, or is that incorrect? I text a lot of highly sensitive info due to my line of work. I hope I'm worried for nothing because its a great app and one more reason to put my phone down while I'm on my tablet.

I think it's going through googles servers since you login with your Google credentials, but I guess that could be just for authentication. If you need more privacy tablet talk syncs via Bluetooth but I think you have to pair it a lot.

NFC Tags

Hi All,
If like me you are new to nfc, i have just purchased a few tags from amazon and they work fine with the htc,
very clever idea just swipe your phone over them and they do what you ask them to do.
I use nfc task launcher from the app store and these are the tags i use:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A78U0I2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use them for simple things like turn on bluetooth in car, turn on wifi and set ring volume when im home.

Good price. I ordered a pack of 10 black and 10 red Xperia tags in ebay but they're coming from HK so I might have to wait a few weeks. Apparently you can use the Sony smart app too, but I'll check out the app you mentioned when I get mine.
20 tags is probably too many so I might give some to friends and family. I'll probably only use about 3-5.

I figure I will use 4 tags regularly (home, work, car, night stand) and will want 2-3 others that won't get used often. The others would be for travel or specific recurring meetings that don't occur at normal business times. I have a keychain one that may be used for that (basically fast mute/vibrate/change google voice settings). I am sure I will need Tasker for what I want. I might have one setup to input the wifi name and password for guests too.

if you use the nfc task launcher it can also link things to tasker .
I.e. you go to set up a new nfc tag, then from list of options you can set up a nfc tag against one of your tasker tasks.
Is really handy if you have one set up or want something abit more complicated, just make sure you get a nfc tag with enough
memory on it!
Link the app for anyone interested.

I love these tags. Only If I could use them like a light switch to turn on all the lights in my house. That would be so cool.

You use a program like NFC task launcher to program the tag. It reads the tag then performs the tasks.
That program can also be used to use BT as the trigger. I launch the Car app and mute notifications when it connects to my car BT. No NFC required

So basically, you use program, set up a tag to do whatever you want (i.e. turn on wifi turn brightness up and turn ring tone up)
then you just swipe your phone over it and thats it.
Easy.
Your phone does have to be unlocked to read it though.

Yeah, that's the issue I learned about NFC which killed the convenience for me. I understand the security concerns, but I just wish there were an option to read NFC on lock/sleep for low-security functions.
I know there was a mod for S3s that allowed you to read NFC tags while locked. Has anyone seen something similar released for the One?

Samsung tags work well. I
Have quite a few from my note 2 and they all work well.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

The problem with NFC Task Launcher is that it programs the tag to do the task, instead of programming the app to recognise a tag and THEN perform the task. I have the Xperia tags and they are only 48 bytes for user data. One task written by NTL is over 70 bytes.

All the red tags will have the same "code" in them, so they will do the same thing..
-> UNLESS you reprogram them yourself...
Same goes for all the black tags from sony..

Tasker and NFC Tasker are 2 different programs. NFC Tasker is easier to setup than Tasker.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.
