Jun 11, 2012 4:39 PM in response to Tristan Merrittby RgnYLDZ,People say that thiefs are not that smart. In fact they are not always desparet thiefs out there. Most of them are make living of this and see this as a job.
So what I'm saying is most of them are smart and know to turn off phones right after make the run. BUT, not all of them know how to hard reset an iphone.
By including a closing code to the regular swich off screen would give almost a 50% bigger chance to prevent switching off the phone ang give a bigger chance to track the phone.
Better than nothing right
OR, you could just program the gps module to be active all the time. Also while it is turned off.
I could live with the loss of a bit energy instead of the possibility of never seeing my phone again.

Jun 11, 2012 4:59 PM in response to RgnYLDZby Lawrence Finch,There are so many ways to block Find My iPhone that your solution would make little difference. Wrap it in aluminum foil. Drop it in a shoplifter's metal film lined bag. Remove the SIM card. If available, take it into a subway or any other place without cell coverage.

Jun 11, 2012 5:10 PM in response to Lawrence Finchby RgnYLDZ,Yeah! You are possibly right. After all, if the thief really wants to steal it, there is no way stopping him. But I think it is still worth the little chance.
