si wil your app take a photo of the thief, show message, take a photo when 3x trying wrong code, send phone number when you want, call logs, on sms do some actions (turn on internet), on sms take a photo and send it to my email?
working even when he wipe the device?

NIce, im glad android has such good open source apps.

Huh? Android is open-source. Most android apps (including the $14.95 a year leech-ware variety) are not.

I was having this type of App in the glory days of Nokia N series. I had installed one app with funcionality similar to this on my Nokia N73, and by the help of that app, I was able to guide police to nab the theif who stole my N73, as that app captured the thief's picture and emailed me, and it even mailed me the co-ordinates of thief's location................

easy... stole the phone... put tape on the cameras.... flush it out then activate...
now it's not really traceable....

Wow, Mukrenol...looks like you've already 'stole'n, flushed and reactivated one...and you're happily using the untraceable phone. :P

who would like to steal an devaluated Android phones.. not worth it people.. just put TEP on it and get a brand new phone

15. CivicSi89 posted on 03 Oct 2012, 15:12 0

a Samsung Galaxy S III or Galaxy Note II or HTC ONE X is worth more than an iPhone. And hold their vaiue very well.

someone who wants to steal a phone that does more then the phones from 2007, the latest android flagships would be worth stealing and re-selling to thieves
