Does anyone else use WaveSecure?

[ggp]

Hope you get it figured out. I was just about to download it today!

If you do, let me know if it works for you!

 

[lekky]

What a brilliant app. Goes on my must have list alongside 3G Watchdog!

 

[ggp]

Nevermind! I got it

I couldn't download it while I was working over WiFi. I turned off WiFi, and it downloaded beautifully!

I read that this happened to someone who was attempting to install the "My Verizon" app. He turned off WiFi, and voila!

Moral of the story, if you're on WiFi and can't install an app, turn it off!

eta... HOLY CRAP! I was testing the lock with "alarm"! That's enough of a scream to make anyone drop it and run! I'm surprised I didn't wake my whole house up!

NOTE: Those that use this application on a CDMA network (Sprint and Verizon specificially) will be charged for every SMS that is received from their system to your phone. Those SMS are coming from overseas and do not deduct from your unlimited texting bundle. Also, all those buddies you added during registration will receive those same text messages and add to their bills. Granted it is only $.20, but they add up (I did a few things already this morning that had incoming SMS's)

I just installed it this morning and discovered that the incoming "triggers" are from 011658xxxxxxx (Singapore). I'm wondering how this would work if we used our Google Voice numbers instead of our regular numbers (or if that would even be verified by them). If that worked we wouldn't be charged for those.

Sadly I have had the overseas texts blocked as I do change my chip a fair bit as have two mobile internet accounts and do use a fair bit of data. I found that I was charged a few pounds.
Lucky I already removed most from my friends list.

The map locaion does not work for me in the UK, It locks the phone OK, but a call to my provider would block the IMEI anyway, unless I can see where the phone is makes it just a back up app..

Just noticed this on my bill. Not digging the charges, so I'm pulling the software. Too bad, cause it's a really cool app.

Hi everyone,
Good news! We've made some tweaks and there should be no more international text messages charges for WaveSecure users in the US.

Let us know how it works for everyone else.

Cool app

Even cooler it's developed in Singapore

I got this app the other day and was quite p*ssed off to discover it charges for international texts without even a warning. Is it really true that the "buddies" I added were also charged international rates for the texts they got? I thought it was sent from my phone because when I looked at the message on someone's phone it said it was from me.

Anyway, still debating whether to keep this app now, it's great and I guess now it's already set up I won't get charged more for texts unless I use it when it's stolen or lost, in which case I probably won't care..

Hi James,
We have to apologize for the distress. We've since made tweaks to WaveSecure so US users won't get charged for international text messages (SMS).

Your buddies are notified by text messages sent from your phone. Hence, if you add a buddy with an international number, there will be charges according to your service plan.

Note that WaveSecure sends an SMS upon reboot automatically only if you insert a new (unknown) SIM card in your phone. That will identify the phone number of the new SIM card inserted in the event of theft.

Hi,

are you looking at something so UK and other areas don't get charged international SMS rates.

Sounds like a great app but the costs could be very high outside the US.

cheers

[_ivo_]

I use it, great app but I hope I won't have to use it

 

[n0v]

Hi,

If I was to try it out how many SMS wil it generate for an install and a quick trial. Is it then easy to disable SMS or even uninstall until maybe a cheap UK SMS solution is added?

cheers

n0v

 

[Bhav]

In the UK you don't get charged to receive texts so you shouldn't face the same problem that US users did.

I did find, however, that the app sent one international text (without informing me...which is a bit annoying). But since then it hasn't.

Works perfectly with no further charges.

 

[n0v]

Great, thanks for the reply, one last thing before I do go ahead. The only download for the hero says HTC Hero (T-Mobile G2)

I'm with 3 in the UK will tis still work?

Sorry for all the questions.

cheers

Should do

 

[EmAzY]

Info on the "Market".

Better get this before the end of Jan 2010.
After that won't be free anymore!

I got it and love it.

I'm from the UK so that statement about US customers doesn't really affect me, but thanks for the reply and clearing up the other questions for me, will definitely be keeping it, great app

Ah, that's good to know

 

[n0v]

Yes i works fine, superb app. Lock and alarm sent the dogs mad, warning would have been good (only joking, it would make all but the most determind thief lose the phone fast).

Also I could not get a view of the map on the location finder on the browser or when I click big map so it went to a different window. That was using IE on Win 7 64 bit but I copied the url and used Firefox and it opened fine.

On the backup I only get 3 tick boxes

Contacts
SMS
Call logs

Media is not there, any ideas?

cheers

n0v

 

[Bhav]

Well Media has never been there...

Use an alternative app or keep it backed up manually with a computer.

 

[n0v]

Ah found out how, go on to the app on the phone and select upload media just under backup. It searches for all media on the hero, on mine it found all of the jpeg images and the hero sampler video. Tap one of those an it sends it to the server, I have sent 3 items.

You can find it under My Data > Media, best not send the hero sampler video as it is very large. Works great.

Hmm, I dont feel comfortable allowing a company I have never heard of publish my personal data to their servers for the purpose of backing up my data. contacts, SMS, call logs, photos and video as it doesnt explicitly state that the data would not be used for anything but recovery and not passed on to any 3rd party(s) and I mean contact numbers for example. At least none I can see in the License Agreement.
So, if this is a free app where is the revenue coming from to keep the servers running and also update/programme the app for example?

This is true... they better not redistribute our data regardless for any reason.
