Unlocking the phone

Postby reinhardholzner » Mon Mar 01, 2010 4:15 pm

In former times it was possible to ALWAYS unlock the Android version of Theft Aware by inserting an authorized SIM + entering a valid PIN code. This functionality has been removed: on some phones it is possible to do a "soft reset" where no PIN entry is necessary - this is a security leak. You can now unlock a phone by either the "unlock" command or by entering a valid PIN into the lock screen.
