Yes. GCM will still exist. The user can decide what should be use. Im pretty sure though that my system is better then GCM because it's not laggy, takes almost 0 traffic, is better to implement into the website

Well, it's only a test. If it does not fit the users needs he can switch back to gcm every time.

next reason is that in the last few days lots of gcm accounts got blocked. I want to avoid that it gets blocked by gcm withou thaving a backup solution

because of enable internet by SMS. Im working on it :)

From what I understand, Whatsapp syncing can only happens once a day? - what is this based off of? When does it sync? Testing on unrooted phone.

Also, whatsapp syncing is kind of sporadic - It was working better last week but this week seems to have stopped working on all open/new chats. What I mean by that is it will only sync certain chats, but not all of them. The ones at the top syncs better, but the ones on the bottom sometimes do not get synced.

Image sync: Does not grab all photos (even those in DCIM, only grabs a portion, does not know how it differentiates)

Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Image-Sync decrypts the database on the device. There is no time interval. If you have a non-rooted device it will use the backup which is usually a few hours up to a day old. Image Grabber try to uplod as mandy pictures as possible. In some cases the Garbage collector kills the service. Just start the sync process again. It will finish on the point where it stopped
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
Testing whatsapp-sync right now and I running the sync process a couple times, but I have some conversations from 3-4 days ago that's not showing up, but some that are showing up from 1 day ago. Does that mean that the WA backup logs is not backing up correctly, or there is something wrong with the decryption process?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes and no. Sometimes backups are not filled up with all conversations. Anyway, there was a small bug int he last "Release-version" which jumps over some Database-Cursor when a wrong char (which is not utf8) has been detected. This is fixed in the current nightly build. Wait until tonight and use the latest nightly released tonight and test again. Do not forget to use "Delete from Web" on the website before doing the sync with the new version again
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
Is the latest version going to be the one on the website?

So I was doing some testing - I deleted all whatsapp conversations from website, and then forced it to sync everything again. Only one conversation synced in, and nothing else is showing up. So I'm pretty sure what you were saying about it jumping over some databases is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] rhazahrd:
got fc on latest nightly...

already sent you a logcat
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Next Nightly which solves some issues and fixed devicesettings and repeat-commands.

please change the useMQTT in devicesettings (new push service) to test for battery-usage and if its working.

Hi, with the latest beta (might be also with earlier verisons) I see that the phone is sending the gps location many times a day.

A couple times per hour. I believe I have not set this in the settings. But I see the gps icon on the phone and I am sure it is theftspy.

Can I set it so it only sends gps location when I ask for it on the website?
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
Hi, with the latest nightly, the program keeps fc-ing when I try to open it, with MQTT turned on, it does receive the comments though.

When I turn MQTT of, it does not fc.

I can send a logcat if you wish
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
please try this. It has some fixes

http://www.theftspy.com/download/TheftSpy.apk
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
Thanks, that one works great.
[Android Apps and Games] darwusch:
Since I installed the latest nightly I can not connect anymore. Also on the phone I can not get the login screen by dialing 127001.

In the apps list it is still present but both "force stop" and "uninstall" are greyed out.

After that I tried installing the latest stable version from the website and also beta8, but no difference. It says installed succesfully but now connecting is still not possible.

Any solutions?
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
Got fc's again, and now the site doesn't work anymore.

Edit; you're probably working on the site now..
[Android Apps and Games] stalli0nUK:
Hello, what version is the latest build? In the settings it says "8" when I click "check update" will it auto download the newest version? I do have it installed as root/system

Latest build crash at boot here...

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
I was working on the site yesterday night.

FC? When does this exactly happen? Can you please post me a logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
I emailed you my logcat. The crash happens after rebooting the phone when MQTT is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] darwusch:
Hi Theftspy, did you try to connect to my phone at 17.25 to test this? Because I got a notification.

I can connect now after some reboots of the phone, however I get an error message on the website that it took more than 45 seconds and could not connect, eventhough it is connected.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBrilliantMistake:
The license 'drop' feature on the website doesn't appear to be working (or I'm failing to understand how it works).

I'm attempting to transfer a license from one (old) device to a another (new) device, and whilst I believe I could email you to carry out this function, it's far better in the long term if it can be done via the web interface.

Also, some time ago, you stated you were looking into an APK generation tool that would allow installation of preconfigured APK. Has this function been abandoned? If so, how about this idea:

1) Keep a 'stock' APK that is the same for every user

2) When TheftSpy is first run, it looks for 'TheftSpy-config.txt' in the root of the SD Card.

3) If the file DOES NOT EXIST - perform the normal config procedure

4) If the file DOES EXIST - read the configuration data from the file (and possibly delete it?).

It would also be useful if TheftSpy deleted any shortcut from the home screen (as many default Android setups will place a shortcut to the app on the home screen when it's installed).

Just some ideas!
[Android Apps and Games] Rothan77:
Camera capture works flawlessly.

Enable/disable front camera in device setting also works

Is it possible to take picture from both front and back camera at once?

So we don't have to change camera when one of the the camera is block.

Camera capture timestamp still not working.

Delete all camera capture from the web is not working.
[Android Apps and Games] invisible77:
TheftSpy, there are problems with 'Camera' and 'Screenshot' now. There are no new pictures at all even after I click 'Take Picture' and 'Take Screenshot'. Please fix it soonest.
[Android Apps and Games] darwusch:
I noticed this too. The captures are however present at the dashboard. So they are taken and uploaded. Just not visible at the right place.
[Android Apps and Games] invisible77:
TheftSpy, have you fixed the problems yet? Do update on this bug soonest. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
im currently doing a completly rework of the website.

As you may noticed there is lots of ajax stuff (reloading without page reload).

You can also delete single pictures now.

Because of date/timestamp... Im currently working on this issue. This is because i had different "timestamp-storing-tables" in the database as i have begun this project a few month ago.

Im currently migrating all to a default-scheme
[Android Apps and Games] invisible77:
I try 'Camera' and 'Screenshot' functions just now and I still do not see any new pictures.

Can I know when they will be fixed?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Well, after having this installed for some time, I updated the .apk a few days ago (Dont know if its a newer one or not to be honest cause I havent updated it in a few weeks) and since then I log in online and my GPS has been way off, like 40ish miles off sometimes, and im guessing this thing is trying to upload ever picture on my device cause it just uses up all of my data and when im on WiFi it is using it almost 100% of the time killing my connection to my other wifi devices in my house due to using the whole connection, and also, my battery has been horrible since installing this a few months ago. Its like it is constantly using the phone in some way and just killing the battery. I have uninstalled it for now and going to see how my battery lasts.

As for uploading (Syncing) all of my pictures, how can I stop this? I liked before when you just had the last 5 so it wouldnt sit and upload ever image on my device (I have like 2000+ pictures on my phone) and also I have about 5k sms messages and its uploading every single one of them. The last 5 or 10 that it was before was better as it didnt use up my data so much again. If there is a way to disable them from syncing/uploading them, please let me know. I think that is whats killing my battery and using a TON of data constantly.
[Android Apps and Games] fireskyer:
Thnx man good work

[Android Apps and Games] statustray:
I am having the same issue as you with your battery being eaten in the past few days. Also seems to be uploading a ton of stuff to the servers as well. So, you are indeed not alone.

[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Same problem here. Just installed it on my new HTC One. Open the app and did not request for a sync. Yet 60mb is being used up in just a day. I think it's critical to fix this asap for people who are having limited data plans.

Also, [MENTION=5131476]TheftSpy[/MENTION], I tried dropping my previous phone's license and transfer it to my new phone. But nothing's happening? :/

Thanks in advance!

Hi Theftspy,

Can I have the "grab all messsages" option back in whatsapp? The "synchronise" option has never worked with Chinese characters and I have to issue a "grab all messages" command instead to get updates.

Now that this option is gone, the whole whatsapp function is useless to me.

Thanks,

Paul.
[Android Apps and Games] noufalz:
yes synchronise option in whatsapp not working in here too.. can u bring back grap all messages option?
[Android Apps and Games] repulse:
[MENTION=5131476]TheftSpy[/MENTION] can you provide a list of sms-command please ?

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] alberto3330:
Hi, I have not problem with the button "synchronize". What ThefSpy version you have installed on your phone? Greetings.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Sorry, i didnt give out a small instruction.

You need to DISABLE Repeat-Commands in Devicesettings. If not, it will start syncing aslong as not all has been synced.

If you have lots of files it may take hours/and drain battery.

Devicesettings -> Repeat Commands/Interval
[Android Apps and Games] pccma:
Hi Theftspy,

Can i have the grab all messages option back in whatsapp? Right now I'm just getting "???" for all my Chinese characters. This function has now become totally useless to me.

Paul.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I will give that a try and report back. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
Is it just me, or is the site not sending commands anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
there is no reason why it should not. Try using TheftSpy Push in DeviceSettings. maybe this works better on your device
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
I have TS push on my device, I don't get a notification and my girlfriend and daughters phone (they have an older version) I cannot receive data.

Also when connecting to my phone it says connected, while it is not, look at the battery.

Edit: my girlfriend's phone does work now. Mine still gets no commands.

Edit2: after removing and reinstalling TheftSpy it works again.
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
I can see the thumbnail of photos in my whatsapp chats on the website, but I am unable to view them full res when I click on them. It says media not found. Is that the norm?

[Android Apps and Games] Consta666:

can you disponibilize it to me?
[Android Apps and Games] kamieniarz:
I've got the same issue so it's looks like a normal thing :(
[Android Apps and Games] pccma:
Can you please either fix the language issue in whatsapp or simply re-enable the "grab all messages" there?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
i finally started to work again on the project in fulltime for a week or two.

This means that ill fix tons of stuff the next days and rework some parts in the website.

Please try if whatsapp sync works again. It should even in old versions now
[Android Apps and Games] talon4x4:
TheftSpy.....Just wanted to say thanks for a great app. Its definitely a work in progress but has come a long way from when it was first released.

You seem to have very good patience. Some of these people coming on here day after day and asking if one thing or another is fixed, is very annoying. Some of you have very little patience. You think people would be a bit more understanding especially when you so generously gave this app for free! I can't imagine he works on this app 8hrs a day like its his job. Give him a break!!! When he fixes things he always comes on here to tell us.
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
Loaded an old version and can confirm that it indeed working just as well in an older version
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thanks. The Synchronising bug is fixed in the next version too. Nexus Camera is working now too (next version).

Image-Synchronizer will now only upload thumbnails and finish loading the whole image as soon as it is requested (traffic reduce)
[Android Apps and Games] KRiZ-R:
Nice work!

Is there a way to see when the phone has received a command, so you can see for example in the dashboard, if the data is old and not updated yet.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes, this is what im currently working at :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Keep in mind that yes, for XDA Regular Members, this app is free. But it is a paid app. The XDA community is his early-warning system for bugs as well as a test bed on a wide variety of devices. And if it's not working for us, it's also not working for his paying customers.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Just for statistics. There are about 30.000 Members, Less then 100 members are paid members which means that not even server and other stuff is paid :)

Keep that in mind
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Sorry to hear that. I'd hope that situation improves.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
It was never my ambition to make business by selling TheftSpy. It was a very good running business with alot profit while being in the playstore. Anyway, now it's more like a hobby and i was thinking about releasing parts of the app (or as library) to the community.

There will be a "Business-Version" later which is for companys who want to host on its own. Now, currently, i dont aim by earning lots of money anymore.

I have other apps which are running good :)

how is this app compared to avast's User Agent which is free?
[Android Apps and Games] rhazahrd:
although both can trace your smartphone, i don't think there is much to compare...
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
you cannot compare such a software with theftspy. Theftspy is way more complex, has tons of features and its in beta-state.

Anyway,

im looking for a PAID DESIGNER. I pay by cash or accounts.. it must be cheap but good. I dont earn any money with this project but i still want to beautify it. IS there any designer in the thread?

The pictures in 'Screenshot' function are ok now.

But the pictures in 'Camera' function is not ok. There is a problem because all the pictures are not in the correct order and the date and time of all pictures in 'Camera' function is always 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Please fix it soonest. Thanks.

How to have lifetime license ?
[Android Apps and Games] rhazahrd:
there is no lifetime licence anymore

"If you want a license (no lifetime anymore. Just free 12-Month-Premium-Accounts for all _NEW_ Xda members which have at least 100 posts) have to send me an email to license@theftspy.com including a simple "please", the email used for registering at theftspy and the username on XDA (for checking the 100-post-limit)."
[Android Apps and Games] invisible77:
TheftSpy, have you fixed the 'Camera' function yet? Thanks.

TheftSpy is the latest version still code version 46? Can you please keep updating the thread title with latest version and date?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
No, it's not.

I renumbered the version-codes again because ive completly reworked the base.

Ill modify the first post and title today. Hopefully the new update will be out tomorrow
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
I was not able to do it now.. There is too much work todo.

BUT here is a changelog for the next release:

- Removed Google Stuff completly. Dont need Google Accounts anymore.

- Reworked Settings (Now its possible to store a "generated or manually edited" configuration in sdcard/.tconfig OR /data/data/com.... which includes autologin and such stuff.

- Reworked Imagesynchronizer (Generates Thumbnails on the device for less traffic) instead of uploadng full images

- Reworked Filemanager (just try out the filemanager, its already working great!)

- Reworked Whatsapp (Full Grabbing, Synchrnizing and YES, finally its there. Livecapturing)

- Reworked Licensingmodul (still 1-Year Membership for XDA members to all new devices)

.. This means when you are XDA Member and add a new device you will get a RENEWED 1 Year License for the device. If you need a longer license it shouldnt be a problem

- Reworked GPS (more accurate)

- Reworked Root Modules

- Reworked Stealth Stuff

I need a few more days for additional testing and coding.. hold on guys.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
How does this affect being able to put the apk in System and it automatically recovering from a factory reset etc?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
You can create your own flashable zip files this way for "NEW Devices".

Anyway, if the device is already in the database it will "grab" the new configuration from the web when none is there. This means that if you factory reset and the app is in system it will recover your old configuration to avoid loosing your device after its stolen

I've got an error while someone type wrong unlock code on my phone. I mean that mostly I get good photos on my email BUT sometimes I get only part of pictures (broken part of pic is just grey). I guess it's connected with low net connection.

Wysłane z mojego GT-I9505 przy użyciu Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes. When the image is corrupted then it means that not all bits have been transfered. Since TheftSpy uses a technique to transfer images bitwise (to still see smth even when the file is corrupt) it means that the network has been broken, the service got killed by GC/Dalvik or the image is already corrupted on the device

what does its mean repeat audio recorder in device setting option?

if i enabled this setting

theftspy will be record audio continuous? until ...??
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Sorry for all people who had connection problems with the current version. Finally i figured it out why this happen. Im currently fixing this. Reason is that i completly removed the GCM and added a new Push-system (MQTT) which avoids the google crap stuff. It works well until the display goes out (and the connection dropped).

It was not able to reconnect on the most devices (specially to non-rooted devices and some rooted) without wake lock. Im currently fixing this issue and it will be working tomorrow in update. Promise! :) It will be THOUSAND TIMES better then the google push
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You sure this is better? How is it better? Every Android device is already using GCM unless they aren't using GApps at all.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
It is better in this case because:

- GCM requires a Google Account below 4.0.4

- Google does not guarantee that the message will be delivered

- GCM Requires Gapps

- A thief may reformat the device and not add a Google account or "accept" the playstore rules.

MQTT uses long keep-alive connection which uses less traffic. TheftSpy can check if the message has been delivererd and store them (if wanted) until the device connect again

The Messages are delivered via SSL and are highly encrypted.

There is no "Delay" between delivery ... :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Updated again. Fixed the Connection Issues even when the device droppped the connection (and display turned off).

AND - You can use autologin now. Just place a file called

".settings"

in sdcards root (/sdcard/.settings) for example.

Here is a sample (dont put any empty whitespaces into the file)

---------

autohideui=true

autologin=true

username=your@email

password=yourpassword

------------

enjoy
