Hi Guys,

Sorry for not updating this thread for quite sometime now. The developer of this app is quite busy updating the app and transferring everything to a faster and more secure server. Everything should be back to normal by Friday.

By the way, we are also looking for beta testers. You might ask why we need beta testers where the app is already out since February of 2013...well, the app got overhauled and like what I mentioned it will be using a new, faster, and more secure server. This is a paid app and as a beta tester we will give you a 1 year premium subscription. That means all functions of the app are enabled for you to use and try. If you are interested to be a beta tester, kindly PM me and I will provide the rest of the information.

*** To those who already paid for the app, we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause you while the app is being updated. As a compensation we will extend your subscription. =)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
This is really a poor method to do updates and improvements. If he's making breaking changes on the server side, he should have a test server. The "Production" server stays running and stable until there is something tested and ready to push to it, then it's down for the (hopefully small) amount of time needed to push the update and verify it's working.

I honestly liked the app back in Feb 2013... It hasn't been stable since.
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
Thanks for the update red!

I sent you a pm, but not sure if you're going to get it or not, it's not showing up in my sent box on here. Anyway, would love to help test for you guys. Shoot me a pm with the details or an email address to reach you.

I've had an opportunity to use the app a little bit since I bought my license a week ago, and when it works, it's a really great app. There's nothing out there that comes close to doing what this does for anywhere near the same price. Really glad that development continues!

[MENTION=4365130]path0s[/MENTION] Noted mate! Will include you in list.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thank you red and thank you community.

Whatever. As red alrady said i'm working on a completly relaunch on the new servers.

Yes, i know it took a long time and there are/was ALOT of bugs but i'm sure i'll make you happy in the next release.

The first tests are well. The connection stuff has been COMPLETLY reworked together with a security expert from japan.

There will be no more auto synchronising of the images since it takes lots of traffic.

All Modules are reworked.

The Website Backend is completly new. All Beta-Testers will get a license as red already said. Please contact him for

* Device Model, Android Verson

* Your Email where you will receive the informations and a License-Key

and the country where you are located.

The first tests will be tomorrow on the new server.

Keep in mind that _ALL DATA_ are lost from the old devices if you start using the beta-version. This does mean that you will need to grab all data again.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
I've done a lot of private closed testing (under NDAs and all that) for a lot of top companies in both hardware and software, and the single most important tool for bug reporting and so forth is a dedicated forum that only testers and devs have access to. It provides a very cozy atmosphere for good discussion between the tester and the dev, and lets the testers know that they are being listened to and encourages more reporting. On top of all the other features like searching and stuff to see if anyone else has reported the same issue, possible workarounds, communicating important announcements, etc.

So if you have the time/ability to set up a small private forum somewhere, I would definitely recommend doing that too.

There are also a couple of companies that will run beta test cycles so the devs don't have to. www.centercode.com is one such place. I've been through numerous testing cycles with tests they've managed. No idea on the cost or anything though, maybe more than you're willing to spend. I do know that they have had cycles for android apps in the past. Maybe they would have the answer on how to legitimize theftspy better and get it restored to the play store (if that's something you want to do)?

Just my 2 cents worth. Looking forward to helping out in any way I can!

Where can we find the beta download ?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
You will be messages today when you are part of the beta-program.

Ah, and for the haters and such who are sending me spam daily:

* Yes, it's a paid app BUT keep in mind:

Im the only one developer on the app. I've another job too else i couldnt offer such cheap prices.

AND you used it for a long time for free AND there are several ways getting free licenses AND if you dont have much money ill of course do a

special offer aswell AND i spend about 200USD monthly for server, domains, traffic, ssl procotols, etc.

Because of the connection issues:

It was working GREAT but after 500 connections now the server was not able to receive more PERSISTENT connections. On the new server its clustered. AND if you dont have IPV6 support in a WIFI you were not able to access the server.

The new server is working GREAT now. The new web backend is already done. New features are there too (browser, keylogger, Facebook Login etc).

Also Whatsapp updated their databases and facebook too. So i need to rework those modules which are done already too.

AND: Kitkat has lots of new security updates for camera, etc.

So.. Please keep cool and dont flame me by email.. IT's not great to wake up and have 200 mails in inbox which contains flame..

thanks.

EDIT:

and im currently working on a way getting the app updated on the device HIDDEN even when its not rooted. First results are successfull.
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
And this is why we can't have nice things.. Too many people ****ing it up for everyone. Seriously guys, lay off the dev. He's working hard and doing good stuff here.

He is 100% correct, you won't find *anything* that even comes close to doing what this app does for the price. Trust me, I've looked. You might be able to get close to the same functionality if you want to pay the same price for a month as what this project charges for an entire year.

Maybe the ones flaming got in after the server started having problems and haven't been able to see the usefulness of the app yet. I was able to use it for a few days before, so I know that when it does work, it's incredibly awesome.

Please just let him get to doing what he does best. Coding. Every pointless flame email sent to him takes time away from getting stuff switched over and just adds to the delay. Have a little patience, you won't be disappointed.
[Android Apps and Games] rahul4luv58:
Thanx bro.... for such a great app... :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Today ill release the private apk for the beta-testers.

Ive created a Forum which is accessable by all beta-testers. Im looking for moderators to create, modify, moderate the forum since i dont have much time doing this.

The Forum is used to track bugs, discuss features, feedback, etc.

Its also used for translations.

Who's interested helping in this project?
[Android Apps and Games] kamieniarz:
I'm up to translate for polish users
[Android Apps and Games] Karl0s:
I can help translate to Portuguese (European).

Enviado do meu iPhone usando o Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
I can help moderate or do anything else you need. I only speak English though.
[Android Apps and Games] __Michael__:
I can translate to Hebrew :)
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
I can do the Dutch translation
[Android Apps and Games] altqq:
so does that mean the app will remain"offline" for regular users until further notice? just trying to figure out if i should look into alternatives in the meantime.

Hi TheftSpy,

It seems that TheftSpy application in mobile phone and website are not working at all. Any function that I clicked in the website is not taking the latest data. I think there is a problem with TheftSpy application. I am using the latest version of Theftspy already. Anyone facing the same problem as me?

Theftspy, kindly fix the problems soonest. Thank you. :o
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
The current website wasn't able to handle the traffic that theftspy generated. It's growing pains. The new load balanced server and app is being tested now, and everyone will be moved over to it by the 16th. The move will require a new app to be installed onto the device, but it will have lots of new features to go with the update too! For future app updates, it will happen silently and automatically on the device, So this will hopefully be the last time you have to manually update the app on the phone.

If you have a paid license, it will be extended some to make up for the downtime you're currently experiencing.

If you've used the app in the past, you know how awesome it is. Give it a few more days and it'll be back with all the old features and plenty more :)

I'm not replying in any sort of official capacity, but this is the info that the author has passed onto this forum. I'm only repeating it. The author may give an update at some point before the 16th too, so stay tuned to this thread for the latest info.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Forum is ready. Beta APP too.

The new Backend is almost ready too. It looks perfectly now.

Traffic is highly reduced by the app and connection is by far more stable.

Now images will not be synced anymore. Only thumbnails and only when really want.

Fileexplorer is completly reworked. Camera Beep is removed.

Charset with ???? in hebrew, chinese, etc is fixed too.

SSL Protection aswell.

and so on.

Fonso and red_hill are now part of the team and handle support and forum.

I do also look for some moderators who've knowledge with PHPBB or leading a forum/threads.

Today latest tomorrow ill release the first APK.

Licenses for ALL Testers are still LIFETIME since they do and help to make the project good at the end.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] oneders65:
I want to be a tester. Will you pm me on how I can be a lifetime tester?
[Android Apps and Games] path0s:
Theftspy: I pm'd you too a couple of times but never heard back. I don't know if you received it since it doesn't look like sent pm's go into my sent box on here. Kind of odd. I know you're pretty busy, but let me know if you got them or not. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kamieniarz:
Can't wait :D

As I said - I can translate everything to Polish + I can be a moderator for Polish users on your forum. Waiting for any instructions ;)
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
sorry, it will be tomorrow since i'll do a full working app instead of just a particially working one.

for now just GPS, Screenshot and Remoteshell is missing.

All other is already working.

First screenshots attached. Filemanager has been completly reworked too.

[MENTION=1941429]Pathos[/MENTION],

got them. Ill read them tomorrow when i compiled the APK. The forum is already up and running. Ill also publish url + apk tomorrow for all beta-tester.

Thank you all for waiting
[Android Apps and Games] Karl0s:

[Android Apps and Games] sneaky55121:
I'm a little unhappy about my experience with this software.

the team of TheftSpy said to me that they would extend the term of my license because of the problems I had to use the program, but again they have charged me the new renovation to my credit card.

It's been two weeks writing them and sending tickets but nobody answers me... :(

Anyone has experienced the same thing?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Kummers,

i canceled all subscription regarding your email and/or the subscription_id youve sent to me.

Did you probably made 2 subscriptions?

Ive checked it again and couldnt find any subscription matching your or matching partially your name/email.

Can you formward me the mail with the invoice?
[Android Apps and Games] sneaky55121:
Hi I have already sent the invoice,
[Android Apps and Games] Combomix:
hello

Hello, this project is working? I'm interesting in this, please tell me if this app is working just now!

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:
Awaiting the new version patiently. Just installed the latest version of the apk from the website and it force closes straight away :(
[Android Apps and Games] kamieniarz:
tomorrow after tomorrow after tomorrow? :D
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
hmpf, sorry@all. I just found a bug regarding Kitkat's new security feature. It does kill the service after a while without a reason.

(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ot-work-on-android-kitkat-edit-and-jelly-bean)

ive almost fixed it so it will be available for kitkat too.

Today i'll release the beta update.

For the BETA-Tester. Please register at http://forum.theftspy.com/ with the email you have provided to red_hill. Ill move you forward in the beta-group which will let you read the forum regarding beta-testing. This includes how to, licenses, latest APK.

Regards

[APP][NEW BETA VER] TheftSpy - Anti Theft and Spy App for Android-beta tester...

Same here.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
damn.. it will be tomorrow since i want to improve the GPS Module a little bit.

It should be auto-navigate/auto refresh onec a new spot is there (see attached).

Its almost ready, kitkat security feature has been avoided by using timers too.

But i cant compile it today since its already late evening here. Sorry.. Tomorrow :/
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Update is ready.

There are a few tweaks, updates, etc which have to be done on the web but the latest APK can be used. Please take care that this is ONLY for the BETA-Server and Website. If you want to plan it to use it in a live-system you will need to wait a few days until all bugs have been fixed.

Of course all tester get licenses for the live-system too.

Ill start putting the first members to the beta-group.

Default-Settings are for now:

No Auto-Synchronise for Images and such. Only Thumbnails get synced automatically which is only a few kb. Root is not required but should be because it activates some new features.

Filegrabber and such will be made more beautiful and easier to use the next days.

Please post all Bugs in the Beta-Forum. Thanks!

It may be possible that the Database or Site is a little bit slower for the next 60 Minutes. Im currently optimizing the Database. Should be faster in a hour..

Hi TheftSpy/

Bug i noticed, on apps logon screed change "Passwort" to "Password" ;)

Keep the good work/
[Android Apps and Games] diga1001:
Might be because the developer is (perhaps) german. (I suppose that, because the second available language IS German ;))

BTW: Nice app
[Android Apps and Games] vipa:
Thank you for the great app!

Installed it on Galaxy Note N7000 and everything seems to be running fine.

Checked some features in the backend and video recording, screenshots and cam shots work fine.

It appears that I was able to delete from server everything that has been uploaded during experiments.

Few things that I would like to report back:

1) It is not very clear what "Synchronize" option in the menu actually does. I hit it and then I see flash message saying the sync is in process...

I am not even sure what was happening and I did not see any option to control what I would like to be synced (not on device not in the web-backend)

2) Emergency number input window does not accept "+" in the number area...

Is this intended?

3) As previously mentioned it is a bit confusing to see more passwords options inside the settings dialog without understanding when those will be needed.

4) "Show Settingsdialog" button in the backend (Stealth Security) didn't work - nothing happened on the device.

Overall it would be good to add some transparency to the legit owner of the device on what what the app is sending out and when.

Otherwise really useful app with all "most wanted" features included and (which is also important) without some redundant bloatware (Antivirus, etc)!

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Arni-01:
Absolut Useful !!

Thanks a lot , i'll give it a try! Looks fantastic and will need a little a bit time. But works like charme up to now.

Thanks for the App !!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] bervin:
what sort of wavelocks will this cause if any?
[Android Apps and Games] :
So lets test it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jamar16:
Pretty nice so far!!! Keep up the good work!!
[Android Apps and Games] Belut:
Good Work

Hi Emanuel,

I download your app and i began to test it.

My first impression after 5 minutes was Woohoo cool! :D

What I tested worked well, GPS looks not very accurate but it's ok.

I have nothing to tell about your app, it's perfect. Really good job.

And thanks for give it free. :good: five stars.

After that I want to speak about your website.

I'm sure you want your app be used by a lot of people, geek like the xda members and not techie.

To use an anti-theft protection service it's important to believe in the server in which we upload our data.

The problem is that we can't be sure that our data are private.

No offense, but you said "yes it's encrypted" on your database but your users can't be sure of that.

Common people know that a website is protected when it's httpS:// in URL and believes when it's a famous app.

I'd love to use your app and configure it to upload data on my own server. This is a feature that can give a real advantage to your application.

But maybe it's not possible, I don't know.

I will use your application for a while and if I can help you with a french translation, tell me.

And again Really good job.

Belut.
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Why is app description on market in German? :D I don't mind since i understand it, but i'm kinda sure that if it would be in english, more people would download it, since Americans can only speak English ^^
[Android Apps and Games] sxlaksh:
good one

Will try it out and update all :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
thanks for all the feedback. You guys are the best. I just need to to do some serverperformance. it may be lagging a bit now.

Marketdescription is in german if you are from germany. if you are from an english spoken country its english :)

please dont rate about lagging. im currently fixing it.

and because of security.. im buying a secure certification tomorrow. this should help people get some trust
[Android Apps and Games] :
First Bug: If you imput a Wrong/Username and password the App Icon just disappear. I had to uninstall and install again to make it come back.

Second Bug: It says: PassworT on login screen its spelled wrong on WebSite too.

Must Have:

There's some Anti-Theft apps like phone locator Pro, that can activate GPS even when GPS is disabled on settings.

SSL on website

Option to Use a private Server instead of your server - Killing feature there's no other app on this market that have this function.
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
Re: Very powerfull and free Tracking and AntiTheft App :) Enjoy

App can be opened by dialing the default app code on dialer if missing from launcher. I think it's 127001 or 1270001
[Android Apps and Games] Fallen Spartan:
Silly question. I installed app and activated it as admin to test etc. Now I want to deactivate it, but I cannot open app to do so (as it is hidden). How do you deactivate app?

Edit - Nevermind
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
Thank you for the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] NaabKing:
Well, i'm not from Germany, nor America, i'm from Slovenia and i see all other apps in english description, but who cares, if other people will see it in English, i dont mind.

Great app :)

EDIT: As someone said before, it's Password, not PassworT

EDIT2: I just installed the app, opened it, just to see how it looks and closed it, without doing anything and the app simply dissapeared ^^ What do i do now? (= Clean install?
[Android Apps and Games] kenderkn:
great app

So far a great app.

issues so far:

On Device (htc 4g lte jewel on cm10)

- on support screen Emergy should be Emergency. And what does that mean? it will call or sms that number if your phone is missing?

-About does nothing. flashes once when pressed but still shows support screen.

-Sync device. what is it syncing? a status or something would be nice here.

Email

- registration email has /r/n at tend of lines

Thanks for registration.\r\n You can now login with username and Password \r\n

Webpage

- gps does not give location, all location awareness on on device

- we server does not connect

Overall a fantasitc app!

I think that maybe version 2 or 3 that this could be used as a MDM suite for MSP's to manage their smartphone users. None of the other MDM's out there have the features yours does.

very good work!

[Android Apps and Games] Combomix:
where is the new beta apk?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
http://forum.theftspy.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14&p=14#p14

Enjoy.

Make sure to create a NEW ACCOUNT in the app. the app is NOT designed for LIVE-testing since the database is on a TEST-SERVER and the APK is by far not ready for release. The Website contains some bugs aswell now, but ill fix most tomorrow.

Please let me know what you like/dont like and what is working or not,.

After Login to the Website press the "CONTROL PANEL" Link.

Enjoy.

Yes, this was not working yet. It's still a beta and some features are limited or not working.

Well, ill release the second beta version today (100%!) which fixes camera, enables audiorecorder and browser and fixes some crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] pradeepb:
ya plz take ur time.. i just wanted to tell u that its not working.. no complaints :)
