[SUGGESTION] Auto-pic and Internet connection check

Hello

I’ve seen topics about taking automatically pictures. I’d just want to add that one of the best methods of capturing picture is when user unlocks the phone. In most cases then user holds phone in front of his/her face and front camera can take clear picture.

Another suggestion would be that “my.avast.com” interface should have command that checks weather phone has connectivity to Internet. Nothing else is being done - no location, no message - 100% silent check. It might be needed since then owner knows if he can send commands right away or he needs to send SMS.

First is a good idea, as long as the phone has a front facing camera…

Second, well just send a command from web interface, if it fails then it has no data connection. But i like your idea anyway:)

Could you please tell me which command has no effect at all on the phone? Neutral command? UNLOCK maybe? I don’t want the user to know that owner is checking it’s data connection.

Ah and one more suggestion. It seems like sms command “SET FORCEDATAMODE 1/0” does not set current data on/off - is there any command that I could use to force data connection on and then I can use LOCATE from web interface?
If not, then this should be added since nowadays - data is important. SMS location can fill users money limit within hours.

we will think about a SET DATAMODE ON command - the SET FORCEDATAMODE is just changing the SETTING, not the current state.
