Have you had problems with Prey? I use a Droid X2 with 2.3.3 firmware.
Everytime I test run Prey, the phone does not send updates. I am using the free version of Prey. This is what I do:
Mark the device as missing on the site
Test my phone the activation code for Prey

I wait 10mins and nothing happens.
Help please.

Webkey (ROOT REQUIRED) | AppBrain Android Market

Just "misplaced my phone today, I had been to 2 places this morning. Pulled up Webkey at work, my phone home screen popped up, I clicked GPS, presto, showed my phone on a map within 10' (was in my car fallen in a crack by the seat). My biggest problem was remembering my Webkey log-in.

Zoner also works, but doesn't seem as accurate (but I tried it when the phone was indoors). It seems to send 2 texts with partial location in each.
