Re: Looking for Anti-Theft Software for Touch Pro2 & WM 6.5
 

Thanks sharing your experiences.

Same here. I thought sure I would need a bigger one. My old i870 had an extended battery that big, and had trouble lasting me a day, so I thought for this phone it would be a no-brainer that I would require an oversize battery. After testing to see how big a battery I would need, I learned I didn't need one at all. Mine shipped with a spare battery, plastic protector, two screen protectors, and an extra stylus.

I'll try OCing with WiMoSpeed then and see if I like OCing. The posts I've read seem to reinforce that it doesn't noticeably affect battery life. They do say there are normally one of three max multipliers that will work, depending on the particular phone, and to install it on the microSD so you can pull it, and edit the parameter if you lock yourself out by going too fast. I'm not hearing guys burning up their CPU by OCing. It sounds like timing issues freeze the phone before it can get that far.

One would think the tracking software would not impact battery life unless for some reason it permanently forces the GPS to be on. During the trial period of Sprite Terminator, I checked for it negatively affecting battery life. It didn't seem to, so I bought it. Returning results from a GPS coordinate request does take longer than the other commands. I attributed that to initializing the GPS and looking for satellites.

Sprite Terminator has been rock solid, but I do wish it had these abilities that Remote Tracker has:
1. Send the results of the commands to e-mail.
2. Send me a mapping link that showed the stick pin so I didn't need to paste it to a PC browser.
*Living without 1 or 2 is not significant. Living without both 1 & 2 makes processing returned GPS coordinates inconvenient. E.G. It can't e-mail a PC where the returned map link will show a map with a stick pin showing where your phone is, and the link contained in the SMS doesn't work properly on a phone's browser in that it will only display a map without a stick pin. This leaves you with two options. Open a browser on the phone, navigate to a mapping site, and paste in the GPS coordinates, OR attach to the phone through something like Open Mobiler, and copy and paste the link from the returned text message into the PC's browser.
3. View and control my phone, wherever it is, using Open Modeler.

*I really only had one usable choice, Sprite Terminator. While limited, it worked, seems to have no negative impact on phone usability, and while the returned GPS link is inconvenient to use, it does return the coordinates. Additionally, it can wipe the entire phone, including the microSD. That is important for business users because it is the only area large enough to store their files.

Thanks!
