i've found very interesting stuff in the internet. according to the site wave secure contained a very major security leak for some months which has been exploited. it allowed hackers to get the users PIN to login to the web central of wave secure. which then gave them access to the private data of the users, let them track the phone, ... Wave Secure still gave no comment about this. I found the blog at Wave Secure Security Vulnerability Report hope it will be fixed soon.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI find that the tracking on wave secure isn't really that efficient especially since it's now an app with a monthly subscription. The main reason is that the gps tracking on it is really pretty poor in accuracy and this is the main thing I use it for. So are there any alternatives with more accurate tracking on it? ( I mean google maps gives it more accurate than WS)

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe title was quite blunt - but I'm writing this to warn others about paying for this product. I'm sure it is an excellent product - if you can get it to work. I made the mistake of paying for a subscription before I tried it. I have never been able to get it working.
I've been in contact with their support department who (very occasionally) reply to my email messages. I have done as they asked, run debug versions and supplied them with log files. They tell me that the problem is at their server end and they are trying to fix it. Since then (weeks ago) I've heard nothing despite repeat attempts to ask them for an update (and my money back). This morning, my phone told me that an update was available. I eagerly downloaded it in case this fixed the problem - it didn't. Just in case anyone from Wave Secure is reading this, please check support tickets IYR-245894 and BQO-385045 and you'll see how lousy you are at supporting a paying customer. So, although this product may be good, please don't buy it unless you are sure it works first. Also, if you have any problems, please don't hold your breath waiting for support from them as it probably won't happen.
So I loaded Wave secure beta to my Hero a couple weeks ago. I had occasion to travel to the west coast since and the phone locked as expected and unlocked when I entered my PIN. However, I wanted to test the remote locking feature and when I enter my login and password at the Wave secure web page it telss me I've entered incorrect info. I've verified the info multiple times but still can not login. I sent a msg to TenCube but haven't received a reply. Anyone else have this problem or know what the problem might be?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIv had lookout for a while now but it makes my phone very slow (moto cliq) i thought i found a better app called wave secure finds my location and can erase restore info too if stolen but its a 20 dollar monthly subscription. so i thought hmm maybe mobile defense is better but found out its in closed beta damnn so close. soo any other app i missed that can find my location,back up erase and restore my data from my phone or pc if stolen,lock down my phone, and sim card tracking would be a plus too but doesn't matter.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI have been running Wave secure since I had my Hero and from day one with the EVO as well. The remote tracking feature does not work well without having your GPS enabled. Without root, there is no way to turn the GPS on remotely. Now with root access, you can simply push the .apk file to the system/apps directory and Wave secure will install. Now when you log into your Wave secure portal and track, the GPS turns on. This will be great if you ever lose your phone. I tested it and it works flawlessly. Also, Wave secure says that you can make the software hard reset proof by installing in the system directory. I did not test this. Below are instructions on how to do both if you are interested. https://www.wavesecure.com/blog/how-to-make-wavesecure-hard-reset-proof.aspx
View 1 Replies View RelatedCame across a nifty little app for the Hero called Wave Secure. It lets you remotely access your phone and can be used to back up data, lock you phone, track its position and erase all the information on it ~ potentially quite handy as your Hero can store quite a lot of personal information. It's still in beta, and as a result is completely free to download and use. It seems pretty cool and simple to use but I've never really heard anything about it before. Does anyone else use it?
View 49 Replies View RelatedI have a problem I hope somebody could help me with. l recently installed a trial version of Wave secure on my HTC Hero. I lost the phone a few days after the subscription had expired so I straight away bought the full version but it doesn't seem to be able to track the phone or issue a lock for it. Has anyone experienced anything similar and would wave secure be able to track it for me?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had Wave secure installed for quite some time now and today the market app said that there was an update available to download. I clicked on it and there was a Note as follows: Due to a Samsung Galaxy firmware bug it can't be supported. The version number is shown as 3.0.0.62. I haven't updated because as far as I was aware the previous version was working ok, though it often sent emails to my wife stating that my phone had been stolen - usually when I was updating the rom etc. Has anyone else tried this latest update?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question. When 2.1 is finally released, my Hero will be wiped clean and all apps will need re-installing, do you think, as the free for life wave secure offer will be over, they will want payment next time or is it a simple case of re-installing under the old terms? Hopefully this makes sense. You can probably tell I am quite new to all this!

It backed up my info fine but it can't locate or lock my phone in both Firefox and IE. I installed Mobile Defense before I installed Wave Secure to test them both out but I've heard of ppl running them both with no problems.

It's asking for a PIN, and I don't know it. If you go to the Wave Secure website, there is a page for resetting the PIN, but I can't seem to enter an email or phone # with international code that it accepts.

We have a work phone for our three shift supervisors to share. Any way or app that would allow us to setup three exchange emails that are each secured by a PIN or password?

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently my application allows the user to set the application to run in full screen. I than check in every activity at onCreate() if the user has set to make the app run in full screen. Is there a better way to do this? I have many other settings that I do and I find this method a little bad in terms of code design. Is there a way to set full screen for the lifetime of app or until I set it back to not full screen? One way to do it would be to have a custom Activity class that does these checks and all my activities can just implement it? would that be slow is it recommended?

Im getting a weird behavior when using the following code to send a new intent to the current sub-activity, then change tab, and getting back to original tab. (TAB1 -> TAB2 -> TAB1)
CODE:.......
What i see from debug..
onSaveInstanceState() is called on TAB1, then TAB2 is current subActivity, but when going back to TAB1 onCreate() is called.
onCreate() is not called with the same test without using the onNewIntent() described above.
What is the lifetime of a ContentProvider in Android? After onCreate() is invoked, will the ContentProvider persist unconditionally for the lifetime of the process?
My ContentProvider manages a list of records, but only 1 is designated "active" and will be accessed by different applications a lot. I was wondering if it's safe to cache the index of this active record in memory as a member of my ContentProvider to speed up lookup.
I recently formatted my computer and updated to Windows 7. I backed up my keystore and tried to sign my apk with it but it gave me an error that said my certificate expires in 22yrs. which is just shy of what the market requires to upload the apk.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have next problem, I have got parent activity and few sub- activities, if app goes to the background by pressed HOME button for long time, all children will be killed, and my app restart from parent activity.
For example: A1 - parent, A2,A3,A4 - sub-activities. A1-->A2-- >A3(top), from A3 I go to the background (HOME). wait 30-40 min and
Is there an exception in the lifetime rules for a parent activity that's in the background after invoking startActivityForResult()? From my understanding, in low memory scenarios, the background activities are killed before the foreground. Does this rule still apply even if the background activity started the foreground one for the purpose of obtaining some result?
In this case, I think it would make sense for the foreground child activity to get killed first or to equalize the lifetime of the parent and child.
