how do you view GPS, listen on conversations?

I just installed the Avast antitheft items and went through all the setup and seem to be done with it. I also saw the video on the website telling everything this can do (the one with the monkeys). It seemed to say that if your phone is lost, you can locate it on a map with the GPS to find it and also listen to conversations. I cant find anything telling where you would go to view this stuff. I assume there is a special website I have to log into?

It’s the LOCATE command.

It is enabling GPS. Works fine (except confirmation popup on Sony xperia arc, even rooted). But how to get current coords of phone? I should wait for your webportal creation? Or is it a way to get (even raw data) coords remotely NOW, before webportal creation?

You should receive the GPS coordinates on your friend’s number. Try “2222 LOCATE 5” for continuous location update if simple “2222 LOCATE” doesn’t work for you.

But how do you view where it is on the map? Or do you really have to work with raw coordinates received back with SMS ? Or am i missing something here?

Im testing commands from “friend” number. After LOCATE command its get only SMS confirmation “OK:…” of command execution. Dont see coords.

Hello,

he should get 2 sms. one confirming the locating process - anotherone, a little later, with information about the whereabouts of the phone.
this sms also contains a link that opens a map where you can see the current position of the phone.

this will become a lot easier once the webportal is available (currently no releasedate fixed)

Thanks for information. For some reason SMS with coords not available. I am using test mod - LOST command, than LOCATION. How can i debug this problem to give you more information? I am using “Sony ericcsson xperia arc”, standard firmware with custom kernel (doomkernel), rooted. All functions works fine, exept auto GPS enable (confirmation popup message), and this problem, no SMS with coords.

hi please try when GPS is already enabled - do you then get the location? Please also update to the newest Anti Theft build we released yesterday!
