I sent a message to developer, suggesting at a min. he allows the program to be installed in a user defined directory (will hide it until something better comes along). And have an option that will NOT add it to the programs list or recently used programs. I have a friend that is paying $10 a month for the child loc. function from sprint. If he could put it on his daughters phone (she is 9) he could save the money...but as of now she would see it in the programs list as would any phone thief (if they knew what to look for). Overall I like the IDEA though I find the accuracy of the GPS not really close enough to acually find your phone...at least it lets you know approx. where it is. But it will tell you if the phone is moving and if you left it somewhere at least you know where you have been once you see the general area. |

I think that is the key...."what to look for." First, how many child-nappers and theives are going to even think to look for this app? And if they did, might seeing that it was installed be akin to having an ADP sign in your front yard? And finally, I'm sure there is a reg entry or other method to just change the name of the app as it appears in the programs and rcently used lists to camouflage it to something common like Solitairte. Thoughts?

I agree. Sub-threads would be very helpful. Searching info here can be tough sometimes and leads to "i know this has been asked before, but...." type of posts.

For some reason I keep thinking your name is "pixelpoop" (sorry). I have to keep reminding myself that it's "pixelpop", not sure why...lol. Camouflaging it or having it not show up is what I am talking about... I realize many people (maybe most) would not know what it was but as more people use programs like this there needs to be a way to make sure someone does not just "uninstall it". Also if someone stole your phone and lived in a subdivision you might get the general area where they were..but not the exact house. But I do like the concept... |

Changing the name to the name of some other real app that you do not actually have installed (just go to pocketgear.com and choose one from a thousand) would work. A thief or childnapper would have to uninstall every app on the phone to make sure he got the right one, assuming he even suspected a tracker was installed. As to the accuracy, Google Maps always accurately puts my location within the stated 10 meters (30 feet) which is close enough to pinpoint a house in a subdivision or to call the phone and hear it ring if I just misplaced it.

Re: |.March 1st, 2009.| |.MightyROM 4 . 6.| |.20765 - UC - 24MB PP.| [Final Release]
I searched over in the xda threads and can only find S2U2 version 1.05. Can you post the cab, link or thread to 1.50d please?
Also, I haven't seen any discussion of S2U2 here (probably a good thing), but it sure looks like fun stuff! For instance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355935 |

Coordinates will be close enough to pinpoint most houses. You might have trouble in more dense places like apartments or smaller homes but the general area is better than nothing. More of an issue with GPS accuracy no? There are also a lot of other freeware apps like this that have more remote options like grabbing call logs, texts, making remote phone calls, etc... Don't let your girlfriend or wife know this app is on your phone though
