wave secure

---

hi everyone

loving the site, really some good stuff on here. i'm gutted i missed out on the wavesecure beta by two days. i downloaded it off the web when it was still in beta but installed it off android market first forgetting that the beta had ended.

if i had installed the saved pc version would that have worked? and if so is there a way of wiping it completely off the phone (if i uninstall it and reinstall it remembers that i've installed it previously)

otherwise, i think i'll just have to pay the subscription, just gutted i missed out by two days . . .

even with the beta package installed, the start date for your account would be timestamped after the free window had expired.

Someone has to pay them for such a great service...thanks for stepping up :P

yeh thought as much, ah well! Cheers.

Garbage app. Can be removed by anyone knowing about these forums. Even their new addon was gone from my phone in less that a minute this morning. Save your money.

Why is it garbage? Is there a free/better alternative?

He's calling it garbage because anyone with a little know how can just uninstall the app, rendering it useless.

Programs like Wave Secure are great; but they need to be uninstallable.

but most would be thieves wouldn't have the know how, plus the phone can be locked as soon as u can get to the internet.

unless u mean it can be uninstalled once the phone is locked, hard reset maybe?

Most mobile phone thieves wouldn't have a clue how to uninstall it or do a hard reset, but they DO know enough to turn it off right away, and LEAVE it off until they've sold it on.

The buyer almost certainly WILL know what to do to disable such security measures. The only way to truly prevent it, is for the program to be in ROM, so it can't be disabled. You may as well just call your operator and get the IMEI disabled.
