Guest rperalta Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 So if you put a SIM card from different carrier, it will trigger to send SMS? Will it still send messages if the phone is unlocked to all carriers? Thanks, rperalta
Guest someone Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Don't really know what's the power of this application. If your phone is stolen, alright you will notice it withing an hour normally. But for example your girlfriend getting an sms explaining her boyfriends (your) phone is stolen doen't add that much unless the sms contains info about the SIM card of the thief, so that the phone can be tracked. Tracking a phone from which messages are sent isn't possible, is it?
Guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) + a hard reset is gonna render this useless (I assume?) Edited March 6, 2006 by Guest

Guest djfuego Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 + a hard reset is gonna render this useless (I assume?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Err.. good one ;) Assuming the theif is well versed in the technology then yeah this is pretty useless. But I have faith that the average theif isn't 'that' smart. I'll just call orange and they'll bar the IME and post me a new phone. I've had a phone stollen before and it's just damned annoying.

Guest zjf1998 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 + a hard reset is gonna render this useless (I assume?) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the best way is burning the application into ext_rom(Pocket PC Phone). I don't know whether the smartphone has same rom.
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 In the Philippines, this app can be used in conjunction with Smart Telecom's WIS (locator) Service. You can set the app to text "WIS NAME TEMPMOBILENUMBER" to 288 making it possible for you to track the theif's location.
Guest Ingvarr Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 If your phone is stolen, law authorities can easely track it using IMEI number, without any need for such applications. That assuming they would really want to track it down. If they would not, the program wouldnt be much help too.
Guest zjf1998 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Now it has been updated to v1.80. http://www.mycnknow.com/LockAppen.htm

Actually the program can help us more thread to track the mobile. Edited March 27, 2006 by zjf1998

Guest zjf1998 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 New version fixed bug. Unregistered version of Eye On Thief can be used without any time limitation. The only difference from registered version is it can only send 3 SIM contacts. http://www.mycnknow.com/LockAppen.htm
Guest zjf1998 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) and no limit for the number of SIM contacts.(>=3) Edited April 9, 2006 by zjf1998

Guest zjf1998 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 My device is 2003 (QTEK 8010) and i have the same problem ;) Do you install cert.cab? Thanks
Guest genaldar Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Its supposed to text you with the phone number of the sim that was installed, but I couldn't get it to work. To try it out I took my buddies sim and put it in my phone while I put my sim in his phone. Waited 10 minutes, no text message.
Guest zjf1998 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Where did you put the Eye on Thief, storage or storage card? If it is storage card, please move it to your storage and set auto run again. Note: it should do following step: 1. move the application the storage 2. run and uncheck the auto run, then exit. 3. run and check the auto run, then exit. Another problem maybe is the phone number you set. Please replace the prefix "+" to "00" and try it again. Thanks.
Guest genaldar Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) I installed to phone (thinking that maybe a thief would sell the minisd and phone seperately). To be honest I don't remember what prefix I used on the number, so I guess I'll try again with the 00. Tried it again, this time I set the test contact (my number since I was just switching sims with my buddy again) and it worked fine. I have no idea why it didn't work before. Hell I probably just forgot to tick the auto run option. Edited June 4, 2006 by genaldar

Guest mcwarre Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Ultimate Theft alert 2.1 is application that does the thing with sending sms mesages. Me and a friend of mine tested it and i can say it works quite good and you really can track the thief.. 8) I like the look of this especially still working after hard reset. What are the cons about sending someone your IMEI number (apart from cloning)? Cheers
