about the battery life issue... while its awesome to sign in and see where you have been, theres no point in having the system active all the time as it can be activated by the website anytime, where you can also change the rate of tracking and even track it in real time.
also it is a deterrent because if some1 steeal you phone you could use the message box system to freak them out by letting them know that you know their exact location ect... of course it all depends on who has your phone... great if just lost at the park something.
and if someone stole it i doubt they would know anything about jailbreaking or how to remove apps thru cydia.
restoring it i see as the only real problem.
great app to have on your phone, great how you can activate it and disable it throught the website.

so does this track your IEMI (or whatever its called) or something else on your phone. This program should be able to trace your phone even if someone formats your phone or un-installs the program. Let me know when it does that and ill give the dev team $50.

the app is not working for me atm but i've notice that i can't uninstall the daemon. maybe this is intentional

[coDiphone]

you might have to manually remove the daemon by sshing if it doesnt uninstall. that would be wicked. but if you could track the phone without the program all together, there could be some pretty scary implications of someone else being able to track your every move and control your phone. im alot happier the way it is

As for all the comments about not being very effective against theft - I think this program is really more as a safeguard if you lost your phone, rather than if it was stolen, and to help you get it back BEFORE someone picks the loner iPhone up off of the ground and takes it home to restore and pop their SIM in.

Think about it, have you ever gone to movie and a dinner, and when you got home you reached into your iPhone pocket (everyone has a pocket reserved for their iPhone, right?) and there was nothing there? And then the thoughts start going through your head: Did I leave it in the car, maybe at the restaurant, or in the bathroom, what if it fell under my seat in the theatre, or in the parking lot??? With this you could see exactly where you had dropped it, and make a B-line to go get it before someone else finds it. Plus, you would be able to tell if someone else already had picked it up! Not that it would do you a whole lot of good then...


Dude, cash, I know where you live now! I might just have to come visit. Too bad I'm in Dallas >_<

I think its good and it does work on the 2g iPhone. The only problem I have is it only works with wifi and not that many people here have wifi so I doubt it'll work if someone steals my iphone.

IF someone does steal it then I will pay for it just to find it. The only problem is what happens if they update the phone?

If you get a 2nd hand or stolen iphone just reflash it and there is no way it'll be tracked even with this software installed.....

The cookies are for logging into the application. The daemon continues running whether you are logged into the application or not. If someone throws in a new sim card when they start the phone the daemon will still be running as I understand it.

kinda creepy giving access of your information to something like this. what if they get hacked. how much information do you give them?
neat regardless, but not really that useful for theft, like other people have noted.

[lillewis51]

this app is sweet! ive been using it and it does what it says im in

the web site keeps giving me a red message that says cookie error

[phoneboi]

is it me or does this app keep your phone on its home screen? my phone doesnt auto lock ever since i installed the app, i have to hit the top power button to lock the phone, otherwise it wont do it

[acalatrava]

Hi everyone!

I'm iLocalis developer and I'm glad to know that almost everyone likes it!

I want to clear some points:

Cookies issue: This is not really an issue but it is bad developed, I will correct it in the near future. If you log into the system from iLocalis.com and after that you log from your iPhone using iLocalis app your cookie will change, so you won't be able to navigate from your computer. And viceversa. I will correct this behaviour in the next few days.

Firmware 2.0 issue: I have received the feedback of some people telling me that iLocalis is not working on their iPhones. They have been waiting but their locations does not come into iLocalis. I identify this issue with a problem with the firmware. I'm using some features only available on firmware 2.1 but I have corrected them to be compatible with 2.0.x. I just send the upgraded packages to ModMyI so in the next few hours (I hope) all the people with firmware 2.0.x will can update ilocalis and it will work. I think that the problem of some of you that keep your iPhone on your home screen is maybe because of this issue too.

Uninstalling iLocalis: Some people was unable to uninstall iLocalis. I don't know exactly why this is happening, it's like the uninstalling process was stucked in the middle or something... Maybe following this steps you will can uninstall it correctly:
1.- Log into your iPhone through SSH
2.- Unzip the file attached and upload to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
3.- Issue the following command: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ilocalis.daemon.plist
4.- Go to Cydia and try to remove iLocalis Daemon

The future: A lot of people has requested me more and more features. I will set a page on iLocalis.com to allow everybody make suggestions and vote them so I can choose what develop first. One of the things I will develop is that if your iPhone is stolen the app won't be able to uninstall from Cydia unless you allow to from iLocalis.com. Of course if the iPhone is restored or updated iLocalis will be out... Maybe if iLocalis Daemon came into PwnageTool like Cydia or Installer if your thief jailbreak your iPhone you will track it because the serial number is the same and it was registered... But I have to make more progress with the developing of iLocalis and after that I will talk to iphone-dev to make them this proposal.

Thank u everybody!!

I recently traveled and lost my IPHONE in the airport. Fortunately, after a few days, i recieved a call from the airport stating the phone was retrieved. You cant imagine how happy i was. It would have cost 400 to replace and how can you have any other phone but the iphone once you have enjoyed it..

This application would have come in handy then so i am going to give it a shot.
I have Installed this application and so far so good. No issues to report
Located me after a few minutes. The cookies issue is annoying but the dev said he would fix that issues with an update. Also tried the remote text and phone call and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks

[ikerside]

SO NICE!!!! thks a lot DEV!!!

[roger505]

acalatrava can you explain the Checking Rate time to me alittle more, I want to use the least battery possible and only track the phone when I need to when its lost. What setting will allow me to find my phone when I need it only and have no other battery drain until I track it ???
