Would anyone be able to tell me if there is an app like HTC Sense online that lets me see where my phone is at any time?

The best & free solution is already on your phone. On your SGSII Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync. Create a Samsung account there if you haven't already. Then go to samsungdive.com to track your device, lock it, make it ring if lost.
what if it is stolen and the ROM has been changed?
Cerberus protects even starting without a Sim or a different one, and capture photos if wrong screen lock, call logs and SMS, remote wipe, tracking with GPS, phone wake and scream, popup message, apply extra lock, call phone even if you don't know the number, record calls, hide app, etc. can be SMS or Web activation, Cheap lifetime license and can be installed on 5 devices. Vendor built Sim checker before then two years ago and I can confirm that service is still running. can be moved to /system/app and survives factory reset, Basically only new flash ROM will kill it.

Lol just saw can take photo on demand and email it, or if phone finder dismisses a popup request to return the phone.

I didn't still find the right one ;-) and still searching....
Guys,
I have lost my Galaxy S1 earlier this year; had Samsung dive setup while the phone was lost, but did not help me.The phone was switched off by the time I realized the loss.
I guess, folk who get their hand on some ones phone, kinda know what to do with the Samsung beasts/beauties. Handovers to someone to wipe and flash, would be their best bet, I reckon. I am sory, not taking about all honest folks who would have return the devices to the actual owners.
Since then, have been searching for solutions which are wipe proof / flash proof but not successful. I have even checked android feature request sometime back ,found none.
Since then I have been thinking of this crazy idea that Google needs to implement as part of android OS.
Since we are registering phone / market app on the phone with Google with a gmail id, why can't Google associate the IMIE of the phone with that gmail id ?
If the registered user decides to sell / transfer the phone to someone else the registered user, the register user of the phone initiates the request for transfer with another gmail id / approves the request from another gmail id, without which all/most to the Google support Android features like maps, browser, market ,emails would not work.
i am not finished yet.., android should have a feature to re-confirm the ownership regularly every after a fixed duration of time, which can be user defined. As long as he/she is on data connection, the renewal is a silent process with the cached credentials on the device. If not, provide some window of time time reconfirm the ownership, failing which the lock the features down to just phone calls / limited set user defined and basic android operations. This could be a optional feature, rather than losing the phone and would opt for this feature and i wont mind reconfirming my phone ownership at regular intervals
If someone lost an android phone , he/she has to just change the registered gmail account password which would make if difficult to renew the ownership.If the phone has a data connection, using the registered Google account on the lost device,one should be able to push a message to displayhttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gifed on the lock screen and home screen. Similar to ChromeTohone / SendToPhone feature.
Mandatory reconfirmation on every flash which are not Non -Wipe. On devices with NFC/ similar chips with writable memory, the ownership details can be written to it and will not be wiped off by wipe or flashing.
Also I would make a humble request to all devs and ROM chefs to keep their busy hands off this feature, if implemented. Ethical stuff
We all love/hate our android phones but won't want to loose them, please let me know you feedback.
PS : I have moved on since my SGS1 only after mouning the loss,but now owns a SGS2
androidlost is the best

Hiya All,
Some serious thinking came across my mind couple of days ago...what if my device will get lost ? Any person that will find it will be able to view anything on my device such as contacts, calendar, notes and even use the phone.
Of course there is an option to lock the device but who the h*ll want to unlock it everytime he is starting to use it ?
What I was thinking is to send a restructive sms message or anything alike that will make a HR to the device or lock it with long enough password to avoid hacking.
Anyone has encoutered this kind of app that can make the above request ?
Any other usefull thoughts on this subject ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright Star
You could install One-Pass. It locks the PPC until a password is entered. WIth this software installed, no one could get into your PPC. They could get what ever was on your storage card, though.
I have an application I am in final beta stages that will hard reset the ppc,
based on a user defined code being sent via sms.
inane, does it hard reset when anyone sends the sms or does it recognise only certain numbers? Last thing I would want is my mates finding out about the message and sending it to me for a laugh!
There's an app that comes with the WM5 SDK that allows you to lock ur device via SMS but obviously you'd need WM5 :wink:

Bright Star,
There is a commercial application available that does exactly that. It is named PDAKill. The developer is ScpSoft (http://www.scpsoft.com).
Here is a brief blurb from their website:
PDAKill is designed to protect users of PDA's from loss/theft of their devices. It allows users to send a predefined SMS message which will hard reset the PDA, deleting the user data (including the storage area* and Storage Card which eliminates any files surviving the hard reset) returning the device to its original factory settings.
You can purchase it from Handango for about $15.00. I've never used it so I can't provide you with any other comment. I just recalled reading about it.

Thanks alot Peter,
This looks like the s/w I've been looking after.
I'll buy it and give it a try.

Better back up your data first...
I still like one-pass better. It locks the screen with your user information showing. This allows an honest person who finds your PDA to call you and collect the generous reward you offer.
THe only way to get out of the 1-pass system is to do a hard reset, which kills the internal memory and storage.

Do you know where I can get this, I have the BlueAngel with WM5 and would love to use a program like this. I am sure that it would require a client install and the sms to the device would require some type of code.
Thanks
it would be cool if there would be a low level application which could reflash the boot rom with zero's and somehow disable bootloader mode and then preform a soft reset. the device could then be thrown into a trash without a service in a repair center... :twisted:

no need to install One-Pass, just set the "prompt if device unused" to 0 minutes, then it will always ask for password.
Man if we could get a program like this it would be great (SMS Lock), and more than likely if someone finds your phone they are not going to know what to do with it...

What if they do a reset? I don't think the password is in effect at that time. You could require a password (PIN) for the phone, but I find that to be a hassle.
With one-pass, the phone won't complete the soft reset unless the password is entered.
It also allows you to program the buttons for a "quick password".
not to get too offtopic but I for a start would NEVER put important data on an mobile device. It's risky enough with some docs on my notebook but those are now going to be transferred to an remote encrypted server with an stable VPN connection.
PDAs aren't secure. PERIOD. I never store any important data on my Magician. The worst thing you'll find are the text messages to my gf, hehe. Btw i'm I the only one concerned about losing an € 500 device ?
Liking the boom-on-SMS idea tough. Will prob never use it. I use deltalock to lock the screen of my Magician. 9 of 10 ppl are too stupid to figure out how to unlock it. hehehe.

Hello all,
So... bad news has befallen me. I've lost my Hermes; someone else found it and called Mexico city a bunch of times. This is the first time I've ever lost a cell phone in the many years I've carried one.
As I wait for my replacement to arrive I'm wondering what is happening with the data that is on the old one...
I know I can't do anything about the one I lost, but I can think about the next one.
So here is the question: Is there any programs that can wipe the memory card, and hard reset a PocketPC phone when a "special" SMS message or a series of messages shows up? I am hoping to find some way that I can wipe the data off a lost phone, but without a timer running the background that has to be reset.
Thanks in advance!
its highly unlikely, coz if such a thing existed anyone can flash anyone phone by sending an sms, but if have installed some anti theft program it will send a silent sms to u with some info of the cell tower the phone is using..for now get the phone and imei barred by ur service provider
I've already disabled them.
I was thinking of something that would allow you to set a random password to make the phone reset. I'm not having much luck finding one... maybe I need to write one when I have free time...
Is there a way in the WM5/6 APIs to cause a hard reset?
EDIT:
Apparently there is a way: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/hardreset.html
Now I need to figure out how to put a hook into the SMS receiving code.
I DONT THINK U CAN HOOK THAT UP THROUGH sms.. sorry about caps
If you have an exchange server 2007 account you have the capability to wipe all data from the PPC.
Also, see this product: http://www.motionapps.com/msafe/_treo700w.jsp It is currently listed for specific devices, but it demonstrates the capability you are looking for and they have a free trial...
Hrm...
I went and looked at the MS video here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/business/directpushemail.mspx
And this IS the functionality I'm looking for.... BUT I don't think I want to set up an exchange server.
I doubt my phone would play well with a server that is running on my laptop

Ahh HA! very nice find!
I hope it works on the new Hermes. I'll try it tomorrow when my replacement phone gets here and report back if it works.
I have not tried yet but it seems very cool.
It can do a lot of things by sms control included the hard reset
Eye on thief:
http://www.mycnknow.com/LockAppen.htm
Here's what I don't get with that program...
I'm on Cingular... my settings and whatnot are for Cingular. If the thief has T-mobile, or orange, or whatever... will the SMS still get sent?
You have to enter the "alert" phone number with full access codes, preferably with country code. If the thief can use the phone with his SIM card, it will work. I don't know about the US, but in Europe it's no problem to send a SMS from one carrier to another.
Here's another program doing basically the same:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
Remote Protect works as well...
you can lock your phone with an sms, unlock with sms, hard reset as well...
i'm using it on my Dopod 838pro with no problems.
It also has the ability to send you an sms telling you that your phone has been stolen and provides the Thief's IMSI number and your phone's IMEI as well. Once you receive the sms from the Thief's SIM card, you get his number. From there, you can send the Hard Reset/Lock format to his number and it locks the phone.
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 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?

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.
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!

Well I use Cerberus now, and I bought it
It is great. Via SMS commands works fine.
Someone please help! Having read the very little amount of content I can find so far, I am extremely concerned that somehow some or all of my text messages are being relayed to an email account via the Service (SmsRelayService) that is running under the app Exchange Services.
I don't seem to be able to find anything conclusive, but what I have found is that it is likely to be relaying text messages to an Exchange Account?
I can stop the Service and it stays 'stopped' until a text message is received and it starts running again.
Now have a Note 4, having upgraded because my last handset appeared to have been tampered with and was also behaving in this manner, as well as my Google Location History recording me in places that I never was. On that handset there were even more questionable apps running, one of which appeared to be some form of spyware when searched in Google!
Is there any way that you can dig deep into the operating system of the device and see what is going on?
Is there any way of identifying is my suspicions and those of others that I have seen post similar stories are correct?
One of the reasons I started to question it initially and then look into it was because I was receiving overly descriptive and some unnecessary text messages from someone and at the same time, another device nearby was demonstrating email notification sounds!
Not only that, but certain things that I had not discussed with certain people, but had discussed over text with others (in no way related or connected) were being brought up!
Help please.... is SmsRelayService under the app Exchange Services something to be worried about?????
I was also shocked by the lack of information on this "SmsRelayService" There are tunz of questions out there about it.
After much research and messing with my phone I feel the service is stock BUT can be hijacked by some unknown application to send all texts to a 3rd party. My x was getting my text messages somehow. In her email account i found she had set up a service on her own phone first to test and she would receive every text on the phone and also location. I assume she set it up on her own phone first to figure it out then she put it on my phone. I have a rooted phone with a custom rom. strangely the SmsRelayService had permission for EVERYTHING on my phone. From sms to photos and every single admin right possible. I doubt this is normal for that service. my custom Rom has a "App ops" menu that shows what the service has used or not. In my case it looks like she was only accessing my sms messages. Killing the service did not help as when a new text came in it started back up and accessed the new messages. Once i removed all the permissions for "SmsRelayService" in the "App ops" menu i no longer had the problem of the service accessing the texts. Without this menu option i don’t know how i would have stopped it. I'd assume there is an app or process killer out there that would have been able to shut it down but it'd take someone else with a normal rom to let us know.
in my case I’m lucky it was only sms's. It looks as though whatever she put on my phone was only getting sms's. the app having access to all rights on the phone a better or more in depth spy app/program could have accessed much more. Only spying my sms activity i did not notice ANY extra battery drain. Also this app is known with Microsoft exchange and that messes up a lot of the research. I have never setup any other account but a gmail account so without a link there i don’t know why else it'd been activated in the first place if not for a spy app. I'll try and post back in a few weeks after i'v been able to see if she suddenly doesn’t have information that she shouldn’t know.
