How does SmartphoneTracker work?
SmartPhoneTracker allows you to locate your phone via GPS coordinates, useful if your phone gets lost or stolen, and for locating missing family members. Basically, SmartPhone Tracker is configured to listen for a certain text message. When it receives that text message, the program will wake up, activate the phone’s GPS and obtain a lock. Once it has GPS satellites locked, it will send an email or/and text message with a link to Google Maps with the phone’s location and exact GPS coordinates.
If there is no GPS reception for 5 minute, SmartPhoneTracker will send the approximate Cell Tower location.
Sample Email:

"You have the best program going my friend I've turned not only my employees on it but everyone that would listen including the guys at the at&t store were i bought the phone I talked to him a few weeks later and he said he's gotten emails praising him from parent over your program"
"First off i must say i lost my tilt one day after installing your program having been at 5 different job sites i was boggled. I remembered the program an popped up my laptop sent a sms an wamo there it was! Saved me $500 bucks thank you SO much ill definitely be contributing more to your development."
"...BY FAR the best tracking software. Response time after SMS message is sent is phenomenal and accuracy is amazing."
"I love the concept of your program! The background and send coordinates to an email are two huge features in a tracking program that I've been searching for hours for."
"I just wanna say I lost my tilt a week ago a day after i installed the tracker.I'd just paid almost $600.00 bucks for it so I used the trigger word an WAMO! I'd left it at a clients house outside on a table thank god for the program I'd already called him and he said it wasn't their and it rained later that night... Works great on the Tilt. Now its been installed on all my guys who work for me cell phones. AWESOME PROGRAM!"
The coded SMS received as a regular SMS and SPT does not start.
"HTC has, since manila 2.5, designed and developed a completely new text messaging application (HTC Messaging App) to replace the old Windows messaging application for the entire SMS/text messaging functionality".
Apart for poor performance it does not support message interception.
To disable the HTC messaging please read carefully:

Here is a better sollution:
Thanks to Thinkblu XDA.
Fixed in version 1.40 - just check force wakeup.If your device does not automatically wake up upon receiving coded SMS and SPT does not start, update to version 1.40.
