• For starters, Theft Aware 2.0 has a user guide that explains to you everything that you need to know about the app.
• Special code to open the app. Since Theft Aware 2.0 is hidden from you app manager and app launcher, the only way to access the app is to dial it through a special code that you yourself will choose. (Dialer > input your secret code > dial) Brilliant, right?
• You can only update the app when the “trusted” SIM card is inserted on your device. For devices without a SIM card, it is highly advisable to disable these updates so that the thief will not be notified of its presence.
• No need for data connection. The app can function even if you do not have a data connection. Users can control the app through SMS, so the only thing you need to have is your network signal.
• The app allows you to input two phone numbers as its “recognized phone numbers”
• Initiate tracking and locking your device. This can be accomplished as soon as the SIM card of the device has been changed.

• Custom commands. Users can also provide custom commands that can be programmed through Android.
• Automatic enabling of GPS. The Theft Aware 2.0 app automatically enables the GPS and the GPS icon hides. This feature is not always applicable for non-rooted devices.
• The app has an “update” command, which basically gives you updates on your device. The only downside to this feature is that the updates come in many parts (divide into 160 character messages) rather than coming in just a single message.
• Spy on your device’s thief through the call command. Through Theft Aware 2.0, you can now secretly dial on your device so that you can listen to the surroundings of the thief. However, there are some downsides to this feature:
  • The (stolen) phone, when dialed, becomes totally dead. The screen just turns off completely, and it won’t turn on no matter what. This could arouse the suspicion of the thief, especially if the thief is aware of the features of Theft Aware 2.0
  • The (stolen) phone could also hear what was going on on your end of the line. Which – if the dead screen is not yet a giveaway – would surely alert the thief.
  • The (stolen) phone brings a voicemail greeting when you deny the call.
