I can't get this to work on my GT-I9100, after I've signed in, registered the device to the account and checked the connection which was fine. I'm stumped. My username is dresden67. Sorry to be a pest, but I hope you can help as this is a truly outstanding app, working no problem on my other device (HTC Sensation).

I'll PM my IMEI number to you when you've posted again if that's OK?

Re: [Codeversion 32 - Update 12.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

There is something like real life? And on this earth, time is limited. So calm down and wait. The Dev is doing an awesome job to provide you guys such an awesome app, FOR FREE, and you are rude like this? Either wait till he releases a tutorial, which takes a lot of time if you ever thought about it, or do it you self. Goddammit. You should be thankful and kiss his shoes instead of being so disrespectful :mad:

Im currently Working on a SMS-Client which communicate between TheftSpy and the App.

It's way easier instead of typing it on it's own. I dont want to do it like cerberus and send passwords in plaintext.

System goes like that:

Authentification SMS with Token ->

<- Reply with OK

RepliedOK then start sending commands ->

<- Replying to commands

Doing crappy **** like sending username and password in a SMS to the device is phreaking dangerous like cerberus do :(
[Android Apps and Games] tuxray:
Please also consider to allow access via https to theftspy.com in the near future.

You're doing a great job! Thanks for this awesome app. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] fax2368:
Sorry in advance if this has been clarified before, I could not find it but I also could not check 60 pages of messages.

The most common scenario for this application to keep working and been useful (assuming it is installed on /system/app).

1) A stolen phone been wiped/reset and

2) A new SIM been introduced

3) No internet access only SMS allowed on the SIM.

Can we still find the phone and/or control it via the web interface??

Will the software communicate back to the base via SMS?

Otherwise its useless.

How do I activate a service say Enable WiFi through SMS? Does this feature supported?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Sorry, i cannot answer that often.

There is a Wiki (www.TheftSpy.com/wiki). for all the users of TheftSpy. Please post Tutorials, Experience, Help there as much as possible. Im developing 8hours/day on TheftSpy and i dont have a Team. So i try to avoid useless or less important feature and try to fix/include only very interesting stuff.

Anyway, lots of people ask me what happen if a Thief wipe the Device.

The Device itself communicate to the Webserver with a VERY Unique ID (for each device). It means: Doesnt matter if theres a gsm or a wifi only device. As soon as you have logged once and as soon as it's recognized and bounded to your account the app will run. If you install it out from the playstore it's lost as soon as the thief find a way (to remove/disable deviceadmin and remove) or force delete the apk in /de/seiboldsoft.ssspy/*.

Anyway, if you flash the APK it's in /system/app/TheftSpy.apk and it's undeletable. I tried it myself today in my Galaxy S3 to delete the App in ADB (with root) -> no result. The Thief need to remount the system partition to writeable to be able to remove the app.

Doing just a Wipe Data wont delete the App. You need to erase everything (Super Wipe) to remove the app as soon as it's flashed.

Because of SMS-Commands: Im currently doing some Rewords in the Code (for Example that the Device still recognize commands in the standbymode. etc).

Ill refix all the SMS commands too (GPS, Wipe, Poweroptions, Settings, ...) but it will take some time. I want to fix everything first before adding new stuff. Well, im sure it may take not longer then the next 5 days to release a first "SMS-Working" Version
[Android Apps and Games] darkhandsome18:
Piece of advice

I was one of the initial backers of this app. Having been using Cerberus and very impressed by it, I thought this app would provide something better but I was a bit disappointed as initially it worked in fits and starts and some commands wouldn't work. I noticed a new version on google play so updated and tried to log in to the web app and now I see that the "premium" is a subscription service. The so-called premium you promised early adopters like me is going to expire in 2 weeks. I paid about 3 pounds for cerberus and it actually works as I've used it to locate my phone in the past with both text and web control for the one-off fee. I'd pay 20 pounds for an app that would work. But your app is still in development and doesn't work as well as cerberus. If you want customers I suggest you rethink you business model. If I have to pay 8 dollars PER YEAR and only have to pay like 4 dollars for LIFE for cerberus, your business has already failed before it begun.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
thank you for your feedback. I use(d) Cerberus aswell and i was very impressed by it aswell...

Anyway, there are LOTS of Bugs in Cerberus which are working in TheftSpy

Example:

- Take a Picture in Cerberus. In 50% of all cases the Image is corrupted before its received by Email

- Take a Audiorecord multiple Times in Cerberus. In most cases it will hang up

- Do a few commands in a row. In some cases it freezes the App

Same as Screenshot and other stuff. TheftSpy is not expensive. All members in Beta will get Year Licenses for FREE. Which means they can use all Premium Features without paying anything. For people who dont have money or dont want to afford it i offer several possibilities to get Premium. Facebook Like = every month a new Monthly Coupon (limited). Rating 5* and writing a Review = 2 Month of Premium (limited). Discoverung a Bug and/or write translations, Wikitutorials, etc = 1 Year Premium and free extending.

And so on.. It does not help me to say that some functions are not working. Please let me know what is working and what's not. Else i cant improve the usage of TheftSpy.

By the way: Did you know that in almost all cases a non-working TheftSpy is because of the Users fault (for example no Google Account added, GCM not working, not logined, dont know how to use the Token, and so on)?

:) But hey, i like it that you are just honestly!

Edit:

By the way. Do you know why some users have to pay after Betatime is up? All the Data are stored encrypted on the Server and takes HUGE of Performance, Traffic, and Diskspace. Servers are very expensive in Germany.. Currently i didnt even earn anything if i have paid the Server. Ah and i spent 1000 hours of my freetime. Do you really think it's not fair what i do?

Edit 2:

SMS Command(s) are working tomorrow. Just wrote the SMS Engine and it should work then :)
[Android Apps and Games] fax2368:
So, without data connection and only SMS and with a different SIM the phone is gone. Or your software send via SMS the details of the new SIM to the emergency number? Just trying to understand if your software is worth considering.

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes, TheftSpy send a SMS to the "Emergencynumber" as soon as the Simcard has been changed. AND you can control GPS and Alarm(messages) per SMS too.

Great job. FYI, both my Note 2 LTE and Nexus 7 3G are working with 32. Earlier, Note 2 LTE wasn't.

Using the latter now, can't download from play store. Will wait for your links on OP. Thanks.

Re: [Codeversion 33 - Update 13.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

Apologies if I sound stupid. I had changed the default token on device. Next step, to send AuthMe to device. How to do that? I believe it's from web login but I can't find it. Sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
if you have changed the SMSToken (its not the token on the website) you just have to send a SMS to your device with the token.

For example: You have TheftSpy on your Device and have set uped the SMSToken to "Test123".

Then you have to send with the Device which controls the TheftSpy'd Device a SMS with text: "Test123".

After that the TheftSpy Device has set you as authorized device to send SMS Commands.

Now you can start sending SMS Commands like doCMD gps .. and so on. More commands in the next version ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
Re: [Codeversion 33 - Update 13.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

Thanks. Tried gps and it works. Toast didn't.

Btw, if we use SMS to activate gps, the "theft" would see my SMS? It's fine in the case when I lost my phone, and I use SMS to activate gps to track, if I don't have Internet. Maybe I don't understand the concept, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Erm.. version 23?
[Android Apps and Games] darkhandsome18:

Re: [Codeversion 33 - Update 13.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

Btw, after testing gps tracker for a few days, I realized that gps constant update of locations will happen only when device screen is on and screen unlocked.
[Android Apps and Games] mykimouse:
A small suggestion for app: When we open the app the default focus is on password field where as it should be on username field. In case if you are wondering if the username is pre-filled, it isn't in my case.

A small suggestion for website : The logout link is way down in the left menu. Please put it on top or besides the Skin dropdown.

Bug : The 33 version app is not allowing me to login and throwing invalid username or password error.

Although I can login to the website with the same credential.

[Android Apps and Games] BlueBlazer23:
Ok, after few upadates, I finally tried to test it today.

But I can´t. I propably screwed up something, so I´d appreciate your help.

First of all, when I go online and log into www.TheftSpy.com. I can´t chose my device.

Secondly, I can´t see that app in my phone - I mean on the list. It is installed but no icon. I thought maby it was renamed, but not.

How to handle with this?

PS. 127001 doesn´t work.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
it seems like that it's not installed anymore. Have you tried AVast Security or similar crapsoftware before?

If not try to install again and login at least once. After that it should work
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I registered my girlfriends number as the emergency number.

She just got a text telling her: "Warning. Your Device changed to a unregistered SIMCARD!!"

But my sim has not changed, my phone is here with me, as is my tablet.

failfunction? xD

and btw, you could send some info about the new simcard that's inserted, because a text that's telling me "the sim changed" doesn't do much for finding my phone when it's stolen.

It would be cool to see the sims number or the serial, to find out who's sim it is
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Does your Tablet contain a Simcard?

Did you insert a Simcard and didnt have a simcard when you logged in in theftspy?
[Android Apps and Games] mykimouse:
Yes the login now works.

Bugs:

1: The CamShot if wrong unlock is inconsistent. It doesn't work everytime.

2: WhatsApp reader never works for me.

3: The deivce settings are not getting updated in the website. I changed the emergency number in the device and clicked Check for Update in the website, but it didn't get the updated emergency number.

Questions:

1. What happens when the data is off and when a CamShot is taken for wrong unlock? Does it store the image and upload later when data in on?

2. What happens when we send some update from the website and the data on the device is off? Does it retry to send updates till it is received by the device?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
"Check for Update" means check if there's a new Theftspy version available. The Data get updated as soon as you pressed Save on the bottom. Camshot on wrong attempt only works when you have enabled deviceadmin. In some cases it dont work because of the WakeLock Mechanism. (The Deivce goes in heavy standby mode). I fixed this in the next version tonight.

Whatsapp is little bit bugged. Currently i check if the Database i stored on <sdcard>/WhatsApp/databases/msgstore.db.crypt

if there's no SDCard.. ive no idea where it's stored. Anyway, ill fix this tonight too. No, camshot are only taken and uploaded if there is internet. If its queued this would be a security violation because the thief can find it. Queueing such stuff is not supported yet and not in plan either.

Proberbly in later versions when im going to update the HttpClasses (but they are very complex!)
[Android Apps and Games] BlueBlazer23:
I am using Avast Security, but Anti-Thief was inactive. But I uninstalled it anyway.

I also use LBE Security Manager - however, in both those applications, I couldn´t find theftSpy - I thought it might be blocked or something.

I tried to reinstal TheftSpy, but when I go to Google Store to uninstall it, there´s one "deactivate" button - when I press it, it says something like "This app administrates your device and you have to deactive it before you uninstall it".

I am in the pickle roght now...

Deactivate Android Framework and/or TheftSpy. After that you can remove it :)
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
For phone that doesn't have SDcard,

From http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583021

Hope it helps!

By the way, where do we get SMS commands?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
thanks, but this is not completly true:

On Android, either get this file:

/sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt

(crypted database on SD card, can be created by starting backup from whatsapp advanced settings: settings - more - Backup Chats)

or these files:

/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db and wa.db

(for this you need root access. detailed instructions in the bottom of this file. the advantage is that the corresponding contact names of phone numbers will be displayed.)

The files are there. On newer versions it's /mnt/sdcard/0/Whats... whatever. There's an alias called Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() or similar. But in some cases it's not there (for example no SDCard?)

or.. two SDCards.. and so on ;)

SMSCommands are on the first page. Only 2 available SMS Commands right now. There will be more these days but first i want to fix all bugs
[Android Apps and Games] BlueBlazer23:
Ok. Works fine.

However, here´s another problem. As long as recording audio or video works good, taking picture doesnt work. It says picture has been taken, but no image in the gallery (www).

The other problem - I sent alermessage. It was dipslayed on my phone (Note2) but how to remove it now? I logged in but still gettin that alertmessage.

And final question - if smartphone has no acces to internet connection (wifi or 3g) is there any way to switch gsp or internet on?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Re: [Codeversion 33 - Update 13.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

I have a gsm nexus7, so yes, it has a sim and the app installed. but I'm pretty sure that it came from my phone, brcause my gf recieved the sms from my phone number.

I'm running the app since you released it on xda, and I always installed it on the same simcard on the same phone.

That's why I'm asking, it's a bit weird

Sent from my Nexus7.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
should be fixed in the next release tomorrow
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
new update tomorrow evening with changelog:

- Fixed Whatsapp (should work on almost all devices now)

- Fixed Standby Bug

- Added Tasker (See, Start, Kill, Remove Apps in backend)

- Added Send SMS in Backend

- Fixed Camerabug (hopefully, not tested)

- Fixed Battery drain after last update

- Renamed running Service to AndroidService (was MyService before)

- Fixed Unique ID Bug (works on all Tablets now too. Doing the following checks)

-- Is IMEI available? Use it

-- is IMEI not available? Use SubscriberID

-- is SubscriberID not availalbe? Use MACAddress

-- is Macaddress not available? Use Secure Android_ID

-- Is Secure Android ID not available .. use Bluetooth Adapter Address

... this means, all android devices should work aslong as they have a google account and working internet

Will this flashable zip version install this to my Nabi 2 tablet? I tried to download from Play Store link but it says it isnt compatible as the tablet is 4.0.3 ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] nnavinraj:
Thanx a lot

loving the app and its functions. even if you start charging i'm ready to pay.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Hello, after a hard night of work (not on TheftSpy :( ) i want to answer all your Questions.

Probably its not compatible because there's no simcard in the device? The app requires a Simcard to activate it by call. If you dont have any use the flashable zip or download the APK and install by hand.

All your datas on the server are fully encrypted which means: Noone can access you data aslong as you dont share your password. All filenames are encrypted with <deviceid>-<hash> which makes it almost impossible to gain access to the data by typing.

Additional security like confirm by email for some functions are implemented as soon as ive coded the profilestuff. This will be today. The app has just been released on a bigger downloadportal which means that i have to fix all the bugs before continue with new features.

Ill add/edit those features within sunday:

- More stable

- Some fixes

- Add a Downloadarea with the latest flashable and single APK (For people which cant download in market)

- Add Delete single pictures/files from backend by pressing X

- Probably add a encrypted command-communication between device<->server (im not sure if this is really neccessary)

- Download all stores Files for the Device in a ZIP

Punkiderma - 33mb of ram? its like nothing but even too much. Probably its synchronising at the moment.

You can use all commands by SMS. Ill put all commands in in the Tutorial part of the Website in a few days

If you want any other important features in the next days let me know.

By the way: All XDA Developers Member until now+30days AND in future will have lifetime Premium Access.

Premium means:

- Unlimited Stroage for Audiorecorder, Videorecorder Camshots, ..

- Unlimited use for all Features

- Recording longer then 30seconds for video, audio, ... :)

etc.

It
[Android Apps and Games] nmsv:
Can you sum up the features of your app? I'm looking for an app of this kind but I'm not sure if yours has SIM card info (if the thief put in his own), call and sms log, ability to use the front and rear camera and send info both by SMS and email. Also the ability to completely uninstall not like other apps that remain installed on the system.

An important feature would be the app to appear on the app drawer has another thing and couldn't be open or give an error.

Just edited the post, after some minutes ram usage went down to 3,3 mb and 0,07% battery usage, so yes it was probably synchronising when I watched the first time, sorry was my fault :)
