【實用工具app】Where The Heck Am I?|最夯免費app-gigacircle

“Where The Heck Am I?” (formerly, “Where Am I?”) is an Adobe AIR-based Android application that can periodically 'phone home' to let you know where your Android phone is located. This application detects offline/online connectivity (mobile or WIFI connectivity) and responds accordingly. While offline, the GPS longitude, latitude, and altitude are inserted into a SQLite database as well as in a log file - both of which are stored on the phone. During mobile or WIFI connectivity, the archived and live GPS data are emailed to the email address (you enter) every 5, 30, or 60 minutes (user configurable). The email includes the GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed) and a dynamic link to Google Maps to display the location of your phone. The application includes the AIR runtime, and by leveraging a separate AutoRun program from Google Play (e.g. Auto Start), the application runs automatically on power-up or reboot. This, in effect, allows tracking of the GPS location of your phone should it ever be lost or stolen.

Permissions this application requests (and how the permissions are used):

YOUR LOCATION (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

PRECISE LOCATION (GPS AND NETWORK-BASED)

Allows this application to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. This app DOES NOT toggle the GPS settings in any way, and only uses GPS if the phone owner turns GPS on voluntarily.

STORAGE (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SD CARD

Allows this application to write the settings it uses to the SD card (in a 'Where Am I' folder the application creates the first time it runs) - specifically 1) the email address that the phone owner self-enters and wants the location data to be emailed to, 2) the name of the device that the phone owner self-enters (used in the subject line of the email), 3) the email frequency (how many minutes between each email sent), 4) the application log, and 5) the SQLite database that stores the location data when the phone has no mobile or WIFI connectivity. NOTE: This application only reads and writes its own data to a 'Where Am I' folder (it DOES NOT read or write to any other files/folders on the owner's phone), and NO DELETES are ever performed by the application.

NETWORK COMMUNICATION

FULL NETWORK ACCESS

Allows this application to view information about network and WIFI connections - to determine if location data can be emailed or needs to be temporarily stored in the local SQLite database.
