Finally I got this app what I ever searched. All commands embedded like "vibrator" which can be used any device on or off. I am using this app as a bike tracker/anti theft software . I used old htc android phone . connect on/off electronic switch with vibrator and ignition of motorbike. now i can fully control my motorbike. Thanks Developers.

All other functions seem to work but cannot get location initially. Then when I gave it up and got back to the phone 5 minutes later, the location message was there. I tried several times again. Waited over 10min yet nothing happened. Then I went to check command history, and a sequence of location messages were sent out, apparently triggered by my viewing action. I like the app but think there are some bugs

About this app

Mobile Locator using SMS is an application that helps you control and operate your mobile through SMS. You can not only get the location of your device by sending an SMS but also make the siren get last 5 call details, play loud, scare, capture video or even take pic remotely by just sending an SMS.

All you need to do is install the app on your mobile and send SMS to your mobile from any other mobile.

Using SMS commands you can achieve the following
1. CallInfo - send SMS with content "ML callinfo" to your device from any mobile and the sender will receive an SMS back with the information on last 5 calls
2. Locate - send SMS with content "ML locate" to your device from your friend's mobile and a reply will be received to your friend's device with the location of your mobile. You can disable your device from sending a reply SMS by unchecking the option in the preferences of the app.
3. Siren - even when the volume of the mobile is low, a siren will be played with full volume. Send SMS to your mobile with content "ML siren".
4. DeviceDetails- tells the battery percent, whether Wifi of the device is connected or not and also if location settings is disabled or enabled. Send SMS to your mobile with content "ML DeviceDetails"
5. Take pic from front/back camera. The pic will be saved in your SD card in the DCIM folder. Send SMS with content "ML picback" to take a pic from the back camera, or "ML picfront" to take a pic from the front camera of your device.
6. Capture 30 sec video using back camera - The high quality 30 sec video captured from the back camera will be saved in the SD card (/sdcard/MobileLocator_date_time.mp4). The video capture will start as soon as the "ML capturevideo" SMS is received by your device.
7. Vibrate the device for 5 sec - To make the phone vibrate for 5 sec send "ML vibrate" command.
8. Help - if you just want to know the list of SMS commands that can be sent from any mobile to your mobile, just send "ML help" and you will get back the list of SMS commands.

How these features are useful?
1. You want your near and dear ones to track where you are without disturbing you? Then turn on the SMS reply for your location option in the preferences and whenever someone sends you an SMS with content "ML locate", an SMS with your current location will be automatically sent to that person.
2. Imagine you forgot where you have kept your phone. In the bathroom? Kitchen? Just send and SMS to your mobile with content "ML siren". A siren will go off and you will know where exactly your phone is.
3. Just want to scare someone for fun. Just give the mobile to your friend and use the scare option.
4. Place your mobile such a way that you can take a video of what is happening around the place in your absence.
5. Lots more feature on its way. Watch this space for more details.

The permissions used are for making the above feature (apart from ads) work. Not for anything else.
