How do you locate your phone if the ringer is off ? You have changed the phone to vibrate when you were in a meeting and the device was not found
Fashion .
Would not it be nice if you could take the phone out of your colleague and use it to turn the ringer on your phone missing ?
Meet Agastya , a new Android app that allows you to "distance" to perform various tasks on your phone from any other phone via commands simple SMS . The other phone, which sends commands should not be running Android - even the basic Nokia 1100 could just as well - and either the phones do not have GPS or data plans (Internet)
. < Br />
The workflow is easy. You send an SMS command from the phone of a friend of your own phone in a given format and the application reacts accordingly. For example, a command such as "ring" would turn the ringtone as "silent" would put the phone
silent .
The application can also help you get your list of missed calls or incoming text messages via , you 're right , SMS . This feature should be useful for people who have multiple phones - you can easily check the call and SMS logs of your secondary phone that is in your pocket
.
< b> Here is a complete list of SMS commands that you can try on your Android phone : < / b>
SILENT - Turn off the phone ring
rINGER - Set the ringtone
IMEI - Get the IMEI number of your phone *
last posts - Get the last five text messages on your phone
last calls - know the last 5 missed / received / composite number
- Get the phone number of a person from the address
.
[*] the IMEI number can help you lock a lost phone (or stolen) access to mobile networks (type * # 06 # to know the IMEI number of your phone existing )
.
Agastay is not the first application that offers features . The most popular Where's My Droid application can not only turn on the ringer on your phone remotely , but you also send current GPS location of the phone by SMS. There is overlap , but these applications are more likely to locate your lost phone while Agastay is like a control console - you can switch between the states of phone or even get the details of a contact distance from the book address of the phone. IMEI feature is also useful for your lost blacklist
phone .
In my tests , Agastya worked as expected , and SMS-based commands executed almost instantly if the application does crash in one case. The company says that Agastay runs on Android 2.2 and above. < / Div >
