I think its a general problem. Probably the server is under mantainance.
[Android Apps and Games] prof.kai:
Me too, since 2 revisions I can't login to my device. Perhaps it is a problem with special caracters like %&@$...

Camara and screenshot works not and I think the rest do also nothing.

I have not testet every version but 33 and the actual did not work on my phone (Razr i - JB root)

The Website-login works fine. But I don't understand the token for my profile. Why I must enter it every time I will go to my profile? I think it is enough to do this the first time.

Please let me know what is NOT working. I did some changes to the Code to get the best performance. I can only test with my i9300, p7500 and motorola defy. Everything works fine there
[Android Apps and Games] prof.kai:
Login works, perhaps it was the DDoS problem.

The camera still won't work (screenshot and GPS works) "Device send: Camarashot started" but nothing is shown.

The version from Play store seems different from version on wiki.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Wiki is not updated yet. Ill update it now

edit: last version (40) is up2date.
[Android Apps and Games] fax2368:
Ok, thank you very much for clarifying some of the issues.

For the sake of testing I have manually granted permission in apps settings and run again Whatsapp syncro, same as before, I can only get one active conversation out of the two I have.

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Probably it's because the one conversation is not older then 24hours? In some cases Whatsapp store the Data in the Database only after 24 hours or when Whatsapp is closed.

But there are some people with that issue. Ill try to fix that.

Run a "Delete from Web" and request again. Maybe there are dead Datafragments in the Database
[Android Apps and Games] fax2368:
Yes, done the delete from web and same result. The one not displayed is a long conversation that goes back to January 2013 with a mix with text and pictures. So you have old but also new messages (from today).

The only difference between the two is that the displayed one has not picture all across. Can picture cause problems? Just a wild guess! lol :cowboy:

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] Spongenator:
I have problems with the sync of whatsapp too.

On my Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.3 + root, no Custom Rom) i cant see any conversation. But i dont know why. On my Samsung Nexus i can see some of it.

Screenshot doesnt work too on my S2.

Edit:

Ok, now i see some conversations on my S2. :) But without names.

- Messages and Alerts

- Screenshots

Tomorrow i´ll test all other options and give feedback like now.

Thanks Theftspy for your daily work fixing and improving the application.

Also i´ve noticed that Web Server Inteface goes much better ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Sean_FD2R:
No offense Emanuel, I love your app and your hard work.

Before this, I had difficulties in getting all the functions works or should I say 50% of it working, On and Off the functions are working. eg, GPS, screenshot,stealth, power control, are working well but with new updates it might not work on the previous functions.

On latest updated version, Nothing works.

And with every updates, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app again as dialing 127001 won't bring up the app under stealth mode.

Btw, my device infos. N7105 LTE running WanamLite Rom V1.2 with perseus kernel alpha 32

GPS location still shows germany even though I am in India.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
open GPS, Start GPS Listener and wait at least 45 seconds.

After that (if there is no autorefrsh) press F5.

If there is any way to get GPS on your Device (Passive, GPS, GPRS, WiFi) then you will have the current Position.

It uses an exploit to enable GPS without confirmation.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMysteriousOne:
Still not getting the same inaccurate location.

I guess it can't get a GPS on my device.

By the way, does location sharing need to be on? Cause I keep it off.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Please send me a PM with your registered username/IMEI.

Location Sharing should be enabled by the exploit. (If its Android 4.1 or older).

Regards, Emanuel
[Android Apps and Games] TheMysteriousOne:
It's android 4.2.2

I'll send you the details in a min.
[Android Apps and Games] Sean_FD2R:
@Emanuel,

actually I have already uninstall and install again 2x on the latest version. But somehow, I gave it a try just now and know what?

most of the functions working well....beats me, dunno what went wrong. same uninstall and install process all along.

Thanks for the great work and constant fix whenever bugs were reported.

Working well now....:good:
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes, it is because TheftSpy stores a lil database to save stuff like GCMID, UniqueID, Uploaded Files (to avoid duplicate uploads) and so on. It's not required to run (only APK needed) but it has some changes to older versions. Removing those (Located in the non flashable verison in /data/data/de.seiboldsoft.ssspy/files/* and databases/* will fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] alexcorvis:
I confirm that doinf that GPS Works!!! ;)

Tried now and perfect, shows my actual position.

Later i'll try to test other options im missing to prove.

Salu2! ;)

Stumbled upon this app after looking for such great features! One quick question and I got through reading the first 50 pages and skipped to the end: Can the app be updated from the backend so that if the phone is stolen and a feature doesn't work but the update fixes it, we could update the app remotely to get the feature to work?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes and no. If you have root then it's in the background, hidden.

You can find it under DeviceSettings -> Check for Update
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
Let me ask the question a different way:

Since I haven't installed this on my phone yet I can't look at the options on the website to control it or see what the interface looks like...

Let's say I've installed the flash version on my phone and my phone gets stolen. And let's say that I'd like to do a screen capture to see what the thief is looking at on my phone and it doesn't work. But I check and there is an update available that fixes that issue. Would I be able to update the app REMOTELY, meaning from my PC while my phone is somewhere else in the thief's hands. Can I update the app without the thief knowing and not having physical access to the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes. You can. As soon as you registered the device once in the website you can control it completly. Which means: If the device is rooted you can update it with a single button on the website. Hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
I just reread your earlier reply to my question and I understand now. Sorry about that. Thanks! Guess I'll be rooting and flashing! That sounds so "dirty"! Hahahaha! I've got to ask, is there any bad things about rooting?
[Android Apps and Games] mykimouse:
Re: [Codeversion 40 - Update 19.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

The only bad thing about rooting is your phones warranty is void. But if required you can unroot too.
[Android Apps and Games] prof.kai:
Hello TheftSpy,

now I install and test version 41 fom the wiki. Please add a feature to controll the installed version (About...) and use the same revisions in playstore (here it is 6) and wiki (here it is called 41 but at install it say 7)

The camshot did not work (til some versions at my Razr i, XT890). The website say "Device sent: Camshot started". If I try a second shot it say "Camara is still in use". If this not work, no problem, I think you will fix this, but the main problem of this bug is: The phone will not go to stand by after the first camshot. The display will not go off till I switch it off. No picture is OK but the cam is blocked, it is also impossible to take a picture with the phone "Kamera konnte nicht initialisiert werden" . Please fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Hello Kai,

ive just updatet the App in Wiki. It should be updated in Playstore soon too.

You have installed the LATEST version (7) and the Camera is blocked after taking a screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Kai,

please test the current version (42 with camupdatE) http://www.theftspy.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads

if the cam is working for you. Its very important that some people test it with camproblems
[Android Apps and Games] prof.kai:
Great, cam works. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
videocamera too?
[Android Apps and Games] prof.kai:
yes videocam works also :)

Command back :( video is recorded but the phone will not switch off the display or goto stand by. Camera is not blocked or still in use. With the photo function it works.

An other thing, it records 30s independ of the settings at the website (Advanced 5s), so i killed 1% of my volume.

Btw, here GPS is not auto-turned ON if OFF. Unless this happens even without visual GUI change. The result is that location only with 3G data is very imprecise (as normally happens).

Factory reset makes Theftspy useless for its intended purpose

I flashed Theftspy to my stock rooted Tmobile Samsung Exhibit II 4G (T679 originally with 2.3.6), had it connected to my home wifi, with no SIM card installed, purchased a 3 month premium membership and all the features I tested worked pretty well. I then performed a factory reset (Settings>Privacy>Reset) to see how doing so would effect the use of Theftspy. Because a reset erases the gmail account information from the device, Theftspy becomes useless as it requires a gmail account on the device to function. I could not connect to the phone after the reset, even after putting my gmail information back into the phone. The only way I was able to reconnect and control Theftspy thru the website (backend) was to log in to the application on the phone and confirm it was in sync.

I do understand that the phone and Theftspy need a gmail account to fully function properly, but if a thief does steal the phone and does a simple factory reset the rightful owner will lose the connection on the website (backend), even if the thief enters in a new gmail account. Because of this, Theftspy is useless for its intended purpose.

I will end this post by stating that I LOVE this app, fully appreciate all of the long hours, hard work and continued dedication to this great app and admire the coders unparalleled customer support and updates. I'm truly hoping he has a solution to this seemingly catostrophic issue.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, it's useless as soon as:

a) no Google Account after wipe

AND

b) no simcard is present

because .. A) Theftspy send it's messages by GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) Service which requires a Playstore. Playstore does only work with a Google account.

Anyway. If you have a Simcard Present in your Device you can still access GPS, Camshot, etc. If you dont have one of both then it's lost. In the first Versions of TheftSpy i was using a way to use a commandlistener similar to GCM but without any requirements,. It drains the Power too fast so i removed it.

Well, i'll build a feature for you guys (optional) these days. It's a "Check in XX Hours Delay if there's a new EMERGENCY" set. So you can be sure that even without google account and just with Internet (doesnt matter if wifi or gsm) your device will still send data.

Hope i answered all your Questions :)
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
Let me make sure I understand you correctly. If a SIM card is installed and a thief does a factory reset, then the thief enters new gmail account information into the phone (and never touches the "Android Framework") the phone would still be connected on the backend? If your answer is yes, I'm curious to know why the SIM card makes a difference since I am connected thru wifi which still connects to GCM...
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
No. If the Thief enter a google account it works with and without simcard.

If there's a Simcard in the device and the thief swap it to his own simcard you will receive a SMS to your emergency number. Then you can control your Device by SMS-Commands to get sure that you still be able to get your device back.
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
What if a SIM card is never installed until the thief steals it and puts in his SIM card?

After I did a reset and entered a new google account I was

not

able to connect to the phone from the backend. I still can't connect to the phone right now after performing a reset, entering google information, logging into the app and rebooting the phone with a soft power down and power up.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

Finally connected again after 2 soft reboots of the device and reselecting it from the website.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
:) Reselecting is important. It works after you have added a google account and rebooted the device once. It need to regenerate a new GCM Registration ID.
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
Lets say the phone doesn't have a SIM card in it, but it's connected to my wifi and Theftspy functions 100%, then someone steals the phone. They do a factory reset and put in their own SIM card. Then they enter their google account information and reboot the phone. Would I be able to connect to the phone on the backend without being able to log into the app on the phone since the thief has it?

Remember, there was no SIM card in the phone until the thief puts one in. AND the thief doesn't log into the app to reconnect.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Yes. Of course. As soon as the Thief (after Factory reset and in the flashable version) add a google account you will have access back again. No need to login again once it's bounded. Reason is that the "UniqueID" is the Devices Serialnumber. Which means it cannot be changed
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
Okay let me try to do those steps to see if I can get reconnected without logging back into the app.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Here are the steps I've taken:

1. Confirmed I have full access to the phone from the backend, which I did. (Took a photo to test) I used the Stealth feature that hides the app icon from the app drawer.

2. Performed a factory reset.

3. Setup my google account on the phone.

4. The app icon reappeared in the app drawer.

5. I reselected the phone on the website to reconnect it.

6. Tried a camshot and no picture showed up on the backend even after waiting for 2 minutes and hitting refresh multiple times. (this usually only took one click of the refresh button and the photo would show up after a few seconds).

7. Since camshot didn't work, I'm assuming that I'm not connected to the phone.

8. Did a soft reboot.

9. After the phone powered back up, I confirmed my google account was still in the phone, which it was.

10. I reselected the phone on the backend.

11. Performed another camshot to test and SUCCESS!!!!

Note: Since my phone is rooted, once a factory reset has been performed all the settings in the Superuser app will return to default. This means that if you've selected su to: Not keep logs, automatically allow new requests, hide warning on request prompts, show status icons, and hide notifications ALL of these settings will be re-enabled so any features you use in Theftspy that require the device to have root access

The only issue I see is that the "Android Framework" app icon reappears after a factory reset and there's no way for the owner to know if the thief has done a reset. What this ultimately means is that if the thief does do a reset, the owner won't know and therefore won't know if the thief can see the app icon... But, I'm very happy that I was able to reconnect after a factory reset and reboot of the phone without needing to go back into the app on the phone. AND without a SIM card installed. I hope this doesn't change once a SIM card is installed into the phone...............
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thanks for the test. I didnt try that out but it looks like that it works :)

The App does not need any Settings files. Once they are made they will get uploaded to the server. The server itself keep them stored (login credentials).

settings like stealth stuff are not syncd.

Well, ill think about a solution. Thank you again for the test.
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
No problem doing the testing.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Also, the key to connecting to the device is: If a feature (like camshot) doesn't work, try waiting a little bit, reselecting the device again on the backend and then trying the feature again. It took a couple of attempts to connect on the backend after a reboot of the device, but was successful after waiting just a few more minutes. I think this is due to the phone resending its ID to the backend, which takes a few minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] dsk00185:
Re: [Codeversion 40 - Update 19.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

Here is an idea. Can you have theft spy save or remember the Google account used so if there is a factory reset it can reestablish that Google account?

I would assume you might then need to

hide the extra Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Hiding an account does not work in Android. Not even with Root-Permissions. Adding an Account without userpermission does. Anyway, this is a (very) good idea. Ill think about similar features in later releases. Im going to fix some backsite stuff and add some ajax comoponents.

My current Todo for Website is:

* Adding Command Logs

* Autostart GPS without "Start GPS Listener Button"

* Galery Autoreload as soon as there are new Pictures

** same with Cam, Screenshot and Videos with Ajax and jQuery

* Adding more translations

Re: [Codeversion 40 - Update 19.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

Good point, one way around this is to use a generic pre-made Google account since it doesn't matter what account is used.
