How to Set Up Google GPS Tracking on your Palm Pre! | Palm Pre Hacks Blog!

it installs an html page on your on your phone which basically acts as a server... you need to have a dns server set up though... doesn't use any services but calls for gps only when you go to or refresh a web page. it's pretty cool. I wish we had something like that on the android.

Its not a difficult concept and easy to do really...but inefficient...the most efficient way to utilize things is via GPRS as that would use up least energy.

Isn't gprs... for GSM phones?
Back on the subject... how do we use the least energy to track a lost cdma phone without the hassle of coding or scripting... is there an app that you suggest?

You know what I meant.... 1x...

aka things like phone calls, text messaging, direct push use the 1x connection to save energy..so via a text message or some sort of direct push would be ideal for best energy efficiency...

Anybody tried this?

InstaMapper - Free Real-Time GPS Tracking

according to the results:
Android Forums - View Single Post - activate gps via sms?
it looks to be an ideal solution... can't wait to try the app and I pray it doesn't run down the battery.

The prevention: you have to wait 3-14 days to disable the conspicuous mode. IMO that defeats the whole purpose of locating the thief who may have your phone.

Looking for a hacked version or [howto] instamapper GPS tracker - disabling conspicuous mode without long runtime - xda-developers (<----- if anyone knows what he's talking about here please educate me. Any help is most appreciated. thanks)

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>

<map>

<int name="bufferSize" value="10" />

<long name="deviceId" value="123456789" />

<boolean name="autoStart" value="false" />

<int name="trackerId" value="1" />

<boolean name="conspicuousMode" value="false" />

<int name="runtime" value="1000888949" />

<float name="minAccuracy" value="304.87805" />

<boolean name="remoteActivation" value="true" />

<int name="sendInterval" value="5" />

<int name="units" value="0" />

</map>

you can do it via ADB PULL and ADB PUSH.

Thanks I got it working in an instant. I didn't even know what ADB PULL and ADB PUSH meant so I googled up and I used Root Explorer to look up and PULL the file... transfered it to my computer. Then I used an xml editor, copy and paste the script, save it, transfered it back, mount usb then used Root Explorer again to PUSH the file back into the same directory. Fired up GPS Tracker again, and I got the desired results that I wanted. Thanks.
