But that means Anti-theft locate is useless. That can’t be right. I’m sure it worked with an earlier Android version. As I said before, with the screen off I get the locate text message, and avast responds with the sms to say it’s been received. All that’s missing is the 2nd sms to say what the location is.

I wonder whether when the screen is off there’s some setting that prevents anti-theft from getting the location, since it seems to be able to receive and send at least one sms.

Does the phone need to be rooted? (I can).
