Problem:
there is a GSM Module in my car. It has three functions:
1) Send alarm warnings (when someone is trying to steal the car or CD player) to my phone (XDA2) as a SMS.
2) Retermine car's location, when it is stolen
3) Remote control of Webasto heater (when standard radio remote control can't reach the car - max. distance is 800m)
Each of these function has a small problem:
ad1) XDA just once silently beeps when SMS is received. It is fine for regular messages, but not for that message saying "Someone si trying to steal your car!". So I need a different sound for received messages, depending on sender - the sound for SMS sent by my car must be louder and longer, than SMS sent by my wife! How to do that?
ad2) I'm using T-Mobile Locator service for that. I don't know if TMO offers it in all countries, but here, if you know LocatorPIN of some mobile phone, you'll immediately receive a SMS containing location of that phone. I also have a great navigation software and maps (2CDs) from TMO - so when your phone is connected to the PC, you can track location of your car (or even of your wife). But without the PC, you'll only receive a text message with approximate location (calculated from one BTS). On PC you'll get more precise position calculated from more BTSes. So I need to use my XDA as the PC - I want to see accurate position on the map. But I'm not sure if some PocketPC navigation map software (such as TomTom) is able to read the coordinates automatically from SMS in inbox. On PC you can use any GPS software with "T-Mobile Locator", because TMO provides a driver, which simulates GPS, but in fact it sends SMS location requests, reads the SMS responses and sends coordinates from them to the navigation software.
ad3) To start or stop or control other heaters functions, you need to send a SMS to your car in special format (syntax). There must be a 7-digits password for the car's GSM gate and SMS also must contain commands for the heater in proper syntax. So I'd love some application simillar to those applications for infrared remote controls - the fullscreen panel with buttons such as "Start heating", "Stop heating", "Turn winter mode on", "Turn summer mode on", "Auto switch-off after XXX minutes", etc... (all commands accepted by heater and/or climatronic). I'd define SMSes in proper format under these buttons (just once) and then I would be just pressing these buttons and XDA will automatically send the SMS. Is there such a piece of software (remote control software sending SMS mesages instead of infrared beams)?
In a worst case I would create that software by myslef. I just received a DVD with latest VisualStudio.NET from M$, I also have the devkit for WM2003. But I don't know, how to send SMS, how to read it from inbox, atc...
Hello everybody!
I open this thread to introduce you "Remote Security", as you can imagine it is a security application that I developed which is already in the Market.
Remote Security is being warmly welcomed in other countries. I'll post here the application features and a link to its website.
I hope you like it. Let me know if I can help you, I will be around here.
Thanks and greetings!
Vierco.

Installing “Remote Security” in your phone, you will be able to control your terminal remotely.
Remote Security controls your phone in case of lost as well as if it is stolen. You will be able to lock remotely your phone, request its location, activate robbery alarm or force a call to a previously designated number.
In case of the replacement of your sim card, your phone will automatically redirect any outgoing call to a previously designated number by you.
Remote Security may run in hidden mode, so nobody but you will notice that the application is installed in your phone.
How it Works?
You will be able to control your phone simply sending SMS.
Where to send this messages? There are two options:
* If your SIM card is already into your phone, you will send the SMS to your own phone number.
* If a new SIM card has been inserted into your phone, Remote Security will send you a message, to an alternate contact number, with the phone number of the SIM card on your terminal. This is the number you will send the SMS to.
Note: All messages sent to activate any Remote Security feature should be lower-cased written, with no blank spaces.
Using and setting up Remote Security is a quick and easy process.
The first time you execute the application, a secure PIN and an alternate contact phone number will be requested.
This data will only be requested once, since Remote Security will keep it in memory.
If you already have installed a software to stop or kill process, like “Task killer” or “task manager”, you will have to exclude “Remote Security” from the killing process list. This is necessary for a proper work of the application
For android 2.2 users (Froyo): Remote Security do some security checks when the phone is rebooted. For a proper running of this checkings, please install this application into the internal memory of your terminal. Remote Security can be installed into your partitioned SD card only in case you have a Rom that allows applitcations to be installed into a patitioned SD card.
What is “Security Code”?
This is a code chosen by you so the phone recognizes you as the owner of the phone. Let’s see an example: to see the location of the phone in case of lost or theft, you will send a sms containing our security code followed by the word “where”.
Eg: mycodewhere
Immediately you will receive a sms with the location, including city and country, where your terminal is.
You can change your Security Number anytime you want.
What is “Phone Number?
Remote Security asks you for a phone number. This is the phone number where you will receive all the requested data from your phone, like location or the phone number of the non-authorized sim in your terminal.
You can change the Phone Number anytime you want.
Authorized SIMs
The first time you execute Remote Security on your phone, it will record the SIM already inserted. Remote Security will take this SIM as the owner of the phone. In case you have another SIM card to use in the same terminal, Remote Security can authorize a secondary SIM by inserting the card on the phone or typing the code.
You can change the authorized SIMs in your terminal anytime you want
In case of a non-authorized SIM is inserted in your terminal:
1 – Remote Security sends you text message with the phone number of the non-authorized SIM in your phone.
2 – The person using your pone will not be able to make any outgoing call but to a previously designated number by you.
Note: In case of lost or theft of your terminal is highly recommendable to ask your mobile company a copy of your SIM card. Doing this you will keep your phone number since the person using your terminal will not be able to make any call from your phone number.
As you can imagine, once you receive a copy of your lost SIM card, you can ask Remote Security to the send the requested data to your own phone number.
Available Options:
Lock:
Lock:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the word lock
Eg: mycodelock
Unlock:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the word unlock
Eg:mycodeunlock
Location:
Using this option you will receive a SMS with the location of your phone.
If the GPS is already active in your phone, Remote Security will locate the phone via GPS. In case of GPS is not active or is not receiving satellite signal, the location will be done by triangulating the phone signal.
To query the location:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the word where
Eg: mycodewhere
Call me:
If you want to contact the person using your phone, the option “call me” will force a call from your terminal to a previously designated number by you.
Once the terminal receive the command, it will emit a sound warn, vibrate and notify it is going to call the owner of the phone. Then the terminal will proceed to call.
To request a call:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the word callme
Eg: mycodecallme
Alarm:
This option may be specially usefull if you think your phone could be near you.
Using the option “alarm” your terminal will play a loud robbery alarm which can’t be quieter or muted. No matter if your phone is already muted or the volume is low. This alarm will also lock the phone.
To activate the alarm:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the word alarm
Eg: mycodealarm
To deactivate the alarm:
Send a SMS with your Security Number followed by the Word stopalarm
Eg:mycodestopalarm

Thank you folk

Looks nice, I will give it a try!
It would be great if it has also a Stealth Mode like "Theft Aware", than I think it is nearly perfect.
To shot on GPS ist not possible with SMS Code I think?
Is it possible to integrate it in the ROM, so also a Hardreset can not delete the Program and the Settings?
Hi cyrustv
The features that doesn't need an action from the user, like the location request, run in stealth mode.
I'll keep in mind your suggestion about the GPS, thanks!
To integrate the application into the Rom it should be added, already configured, into the rom itself.
I really appreciate your comments, it is the best way to keep growing
Kind regards

Interesting app. Unfortunately crashes often and looses BT pairing. How can I help to troubleshoot? I have an Omate Truesmart and a Galaxy gear with a Galaxy Note 3. Also, app is quite confusing. Is there a good guide to follow to understand each settings?
Thanks
So i basicly need this for my mother.. She really does not understand how to use an android, and for some reason she keeps setting her devices ringer volume to silent, which means she does not hear when i try to call her. Not only that but she screws so many things up on this phone, like removing shortcuts from the launcher and so fourth, that i need to come to her twice a week just to fix things. It would be nice if there were some tool that lets me control her phone from my pc, or maybe my android device. Like teamviewer but for Androids.
Can you guys assist ?

What about using Teamviewer?
and for the ringer on silent mode I know how to do it easily, use Tasker.
Create a profile "When phone receive SMS from X contact with Y message ---> Task: Set ringer volume to 10."
or even simpler:
"when phone receive call from X contact --> Task: set ringer volume to 10"
I'm using this on my phone and its work great. I work on a night shift and my phone is in silent mode but my GF can text me a private code to activate my ringer if there is an emergency and need to call me.
Same can be done to activate teamviewer client:
Create a profile "When phone receive SMS from X contact with Y message ---> Task: set wifi and/or mobile data to ON and launch team viewer client"
You'll oubvisouly need to set a permanent ID and password for the client so you can automate the process.
Then you'll be able to send a sms to that phone to activate its wifi and team viewer client, you enter the password on your side and can access the device remotely.

Tasker would be a solution for many of the things. But i would like a more "total control" solution of that is possible. Team Viewer for Android does (as far as i know) not allow me to control an Android device but allows my Android device to control computers (not the other way around)

No, you can control your android device on your computer.
Download TeamViewer 10 on your computer and TeamViewer QuickSupport on your Android + the QuickSupport module for your phone brand.
Then you can use tasker to remotely launch TeamViewer QuickSupport on the phone and you can then connect your computer to the phone and take control. But someone will have to click "I agree" button twice on the android to be able to control it.
Hi Guy,
if you search a free app that in simple mode find your phone in case of theft or loss i think you should try this app:
This is my first post and i can't insert link so if you want try the app search Smartphone Monitor GPS Free on Google App Store.
Smartphone Monitor GPS send the GPS position of your mobile phone via GPRS to a web server GPS, or via SMS to another number. You can set the frequence of send.
There is also a useful function ANTITHIEF. If your phone is stolen and the thief change the sim card, you can receive an sms with the new SIM card number inserted and teh position of the device, to another telephone number set.
There also other useful function:
- SOS Alarm. Send an SMS with alarm and position to another telephone number when the button is pressed.
- Stealth mode. Hide the app from the launcher.
- Commands via dial pad
If you download the app you can try also our GPSWeb service free for seven days. You will be able to track your device on google maps in real time.
There is also a payment version with more functions and more days of tracking on GPSWeb.
Bye
