Introducing SmrtGuard-Free: Provides Remote Tracking and Wiping of Device (and More) for Free!

THANKS SmrtGuard, you guys are da bomb!

This is great. I was a Beta tester for the full version, but couldn't justify the cost. The remote backup was nice, but wasn't important enough for me to subscribe to.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the FREE Version!

amazing! Will def be on my blackberry

awesome :)

i remember SmrtGuard used to have a web form fill out, now i just did was d/l and sign up all from my BB within SmrtGuard App. easy and sweet! Good job guys.

woo hoo!!!

awesome..wanna have it

Yes Thanks!!

Just downloaded the app and love all the features. works great on my storm.

Would be great if their premium version could include AES encryption of all the user's data with a personal key before sending it to the cloud, otherwise, it's just one more way to get your data stolen...

This is all I could find, which means only the connection is secure:
"Q9: How secure is SmrtGuard?

Security is very important to us and realize how critical it is to protect sensitive information. We designed SmrtGuard with this in mind to give you the peace of mind! We access your information over 256-bit encrypted SSL secure connection. During the backup process from the device, authentication is done with the same 256-bit encrypted SSL secure connection. Our data center is located in New York, NY and Atlanta, Georgia"

THIS IS AWESOME!! Thanks to all that made this possible!!!!

I gotta have it good looks!

Amazing that SmrtGuard is offering this program FREE!!!!

Am I the only one getting an error while trying to activate? The app works great but when I go to put my name, email, and password in I get an error. I have rebooted my phone but same problem. Any suggestions?

thank you!!!

...just downloaded it & registered...guess it doesn't work in Jamaica

Awesome! Thanks soooooo much!!!

Should of been free last year!

This is AWESOME!!! Thanx SmartGuard for FREE version!

OMG this is great, thanks for the free version.

OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!

Im getting emails with a whole bunch of letters and numbers on my gmail using the computer. anyone else getting this?

eh, runs in the app list constantly? :( really? Im trying it but come on, i just got berryweather out of my "5" background apps.

the web login is tight though wow.

I've entered 2 of my e-mail addys, but can't get the link sent to me. Can anyone help (like forwarding it to me...if so, please PM me, so I can give you my e-mail addy). Thanks.

The link is not working for me

awesome guys....except thanks for making half of us pay for it then give it out for free?

N its free neatooooo!! :)

Had this back in the beta days, but haven't had the cash for the subscription. This is really awesome.

but lesson learned, use your blackberry email address instead of your gmail email. I have my gmail on my blackberry and on my desktop webclient. Everytime I sent something with safeguard, it would send me nonsense emails everytime I performed an action on my computer. Using the blackberry email address, it automatically hides all those emails once they're received

Thank you! Since we get 30 days with backup and restore another option for people would be mIQ. Using mIQ combined with this app makes a great combo.

nice app but i would prefer it to actually allow me to DENY some of the access its asking for. i dont like having my Media or USER Data recorded by anything that does remote access.

otherwise a fine app.

"Where I've Been does not work as you need Blackberry Maps..

**Blackberry Maps is only available on devices running device software v4.1 or v4.2.x**

all i am getting is jumbled up numbers and alphabets from smrtguard email ..i am using the blackberry .com email address>>whats going on ?????

thanks for the tip kevin, i installed it on my 9700 !

Up and running. No issues.

This a super app to be offered for FREE. There is no reason every crackberry user shouldn't have this.

Why would anyone in their right mind want their spouse or significant other to have the ability to GPS track them at all times? Okay, well, it would be nice some of the time, like if one of you is driving home and the other wants to know where you are in traffic.

But I feel like 95% of its use would be more like "I see that you went to Starbucks...c'mon you KNOW we're trying to save money!"

this is sweet

I registered on siteand didnt get any emails either? I tried like 4 times... And yes i checked my spam...lol

can't get web commands to work. Email commands work fine. Any suggestions?

from E-GPS? *curious* I want to try this out, but if it's the same then nevermind.

This is an amazing application. I just finished setting up and testing out all the features and I am quite impressed!

This is FANTASTIC news! I've been looking at SmrtGuard for a while now, but with a free version I'm sold!

Well i used this in Dec. and let the trial exp, then it worked jut fine. I just installed it again (battery pull and all) and now when I get the email (to my BB.net account) it goes unread, just sits there... nothign happens

:/

I just downloaded this app and it's great! I tested the "remote listen" function but don't see a way to "remote call fwd"??

s e r v e r t o o s m a l l

Thanks very much for this! Peace of mind, yeah! :)

Direct OTA link for your BB Browser http://www.smrtguard.com/riskfree/bb.jsp

Finally got this right and download it. No contacts. That's what I really want. Guess I have to wait a few hours for it to back it up.

If anyone tried the self destruct test, let us know how you made out. Cause I'm NOT doing it...LOL

I have read about it before, but now is the time to get it! I hope there are no hidden caveats for such a great FREE app/ service!

I will chime in with the others thanks!

Thank you so much!

thx that awesome

is it worth the download?

Thanks! This is a great app to have!

Anyone have a good gauge yet on how this app affects battery life? Is it an app that's always running in the background?

It's one of those that asks you to enter your email addy to have the download link emailed to you, but the text field doesn't accept enough characters for me to enter my entire email addy. Then it say's "just point your BB browser here", but that link leads you to a webpage that is unavailable. Worthless, for me anyhow.

Download seemed painless enuf, see an icon, but clicking icon is an exercise in futility.

Have deleted, battery pulled, redownloaded (v5.0/4.7 version) several times.

I'm running v5.0.0.419 on my 9530.

Ideas?

I just installed it onto my BB9630 Tour. Now I get a "Reload Software 552" Error!

For those of us who paid for SmrtGuard this isn't too cool. Add to that, my Tour has yet to work properly with SmrtGuard and their tech support is non-existent. They admitted (the one time I got them to reply) the Tour is their biggest challenge so far...mostly in Calendar events saving to SmrtGuard.com.

I wish I had this a couple months ago :(

Hi guys

I have eGPS? Is this better etc?

I have fallen in love with this program. My 9550 feels very safe now :)

Not for me as I also had a mem leak from it.

I will take my chances and NOT lose my BB Tour.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need I really Say More!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far so good...we will see how it goes!! Thanks so much CB and thanks SmrtGuard for the free service!

I guess I'm one of those guy's who's never happy. It seemed overpriced to me before. (I wouldn't mind playing once, but don't like the idea of paying every year.) Now that it's free, I wonder what the gimmick is.

Are they just making money on the backup feature? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Are we consenting to getting sales calls or spam on the BB? Is the tracking feature being used for marketing research? Somebody's got to think they're making money somewhere.

What's the catch?

I think this is great but I'm a little skeptical too. You should be when it comes to knowing your location all the time. How do they make money by giving this away?

After all, they used to charge MONTHLY. Curious.

Rather annoying in a way to see now a free version. After paying full price for a year's worth of service, I've seen countless half-price sales on this app and now I find there's a free version that does everything I need. I certainly won't be renewing my subscription when it's up.

I'm with the minority here. I paid for a year of service last December with the promise that SmrtAlerts and SmrtPhotos were included, but they weren't. The company didn't keep the promise they made when they were selling their product and didn't reply to my emails to their customer service address.

This sounds like a good product, but with this level of customer service, renewing my subscription would feel like throwing good money after bad.

can you have two phones on the same account?

With its data wipe and SIM card protection features its pretty important that smrtguard offer a way to lock the app so another user can't simply open it and deselect everything you setup. Am I missing something?

Works great and is incredibly useful. Simple setup. Just hope that it doesn't drain battery life.

i have bin a long time user of roblock i had it on the ppc and added it to the bb since cuz of its funtion i got it and i find it very well, it pulls contacts and all the goodies as well as send messages and dont require you to have bbmaps installed. i just installed this and i dont find it all as the hype states.

Absolutely fantastic app! Thanks.

Note to self: Do not ever buy or renew smrtguard again.... after spending so much money on it u give the best most used functions away for FREE ..........

Rad-i-frikkin-coooool!!

This app sure looks good. Very nice features especially the overlay with Google Maps!

right now i use eGPS and it seems to do what i need pretty well. i'll install this app and check it out though

Installed, tried the Follow me. Told me I am in Portugal, when I'm really in Canada, tried it a few more time. I appear to be walking around Portugal. Uninstalled.

Thank you, Smartguard. I will download it immediately.

I've always wanted this program and they are finally offering it for free. Thank you so much for this.

So, I turned on follow me. Then I checked where I'd been. It says I'm traveling through the Portuguese countryside. I find this curious as I'm sitting in an office in Tempe Arizona. ?:(

Loaded it up tried it for 12 hours. I did what it said it would do. Backed up my contacts and all the communications. Required a Blackberry account for all the extra goodies - mmmmmm not interested. Consumed 40% battery in 12 hours sitting..... idle.

Not for me.

Great app!

Everyone is yelling FREE, FREE, but it's not free. It's over $50 per year! I'd be interested in this app and it's features, but not at that cost. The only thing free, it the app and the first month, after that it cost $3.99 per month (billed monthly), or $44.99 per year! That's too high. Lower the price and I'll sign up.

but its GUI needs NOT to run all the time, and to have pasword protection...

without it, anyone can modify it, restore old info, or... delete stuff from your berry and then "backup" nothing to your account...

pd: rebooting fixes the emails (only if using @blackberry) not getting hidden, and the wrong location from the first time.

Wow, this is great app! love it! Put it on my new Bold 9700 and my wifes bold 9000! Works great! Had to manually register after download by clicking and berry button to see activate menu, and don't forget to, do / register 'Sim Guardian' and configure, 'Personal Guardian', this is a great product!!!

I downloaded & installed smrtguard from the link but the app doesn't have the features it says it does or at least I can't find them. For example I can't find remote data wipe or remote listen or tracking. Can someone help me & tell me where I can find those features plz. On my application list it just says smrtguard & not smrtguard free so not sure about that & the version says 2.11 is that correct?

just whished i had this app a week ago when i got my 9700 stolen

That's great, thanks much SmrtGuard! Just DL'ed it, works perfectly on my VZW Storm2 (.320). I wonder how they can offer this for free, it seems like a big money maker... Wonder how long it will last (for free, that is). Thanks again!

Downloaded, installed, followed the simple instructions and runs great on my T-Mobile Storm. Good stuff guys, thanks!

I've downloaded, done a battery pull, app will not open, am I missing a step?

Is it possible to get smrtgrd to work with google maps or is it only blackberry maps

I did everything it told me to do, downloaded also on the computer along with my blackberry Curve 8330. When I go onto the dashboard, it tells me I don't have a native acct. I do have one. what can I do.

Can someone please post the link to do remote wipe or remote tracking please :)

Dang, I just bought another program a few days ago but Smrtguard does more and its free. Just my luck.

Ok I logged in but it doesn't say much. Do I have to log on to a computer to get the other functions or can I look at them from my phone

30 day trial?

registered on my phone but trying to log in to the website and it is not valid. wtf? both password and email are correct.

i never had my memory alert that is set with quick pull actually come on before this app was installed. It alerts me to low memory every time i reboot a few hours later it drops significantly. There is a big memory leak in the app.

I tried it and really didnt like it. Does anyone know how to delete your account once its created? I cant find a delete account link anywhere on their website.

Awesome! I was going to buy RobLock, but this came along. If it's free, you can't say no to that!!

Does this app always run in the background? I might just delete my e-GPS app if this works well.

I installed SmrtGuard on my 9700, set my phone down to eat dinner and when I looked at my phone 20 min later it was rebooting, the progress bar would get about 1/4 inch and then it would reboot again, I had to reinstall OS.

i added this to my new curve 8520, and when i try to do audio ping and use the numerous features it sends me an email with the apparent function its supposed to do, but doesnt actually perform it. Just shows up as an email with an attachment that cant be viewed and doesnt do the proper thing. Anyone have any ideas as to why its not working? Thanks

Works really well so far! Thanx for the tip!

works great expect the fact it deactivated the direct connect fuction of the phone.

Got it looks cool should be very helpful. How much is the sub after 30 days?

Thank you, SmrtGuard developers!

Am I the only one it's not working for?

The idea of "tracking" can have negative connotations to some people at first until we consider the full picture. With location data accessible to only account holders & those they choose to share it with I think most of these concerns are needless.

I'm not good at telling stories so please bear with me..
Our community had a recent tragedy that started with a young woman leaving her friends home after a party on a very cold & snowy night.
She called home (a few miles & a 10 minute drive away) and told them she was on her way. Around 48 hours later after mobilizing a search her car was found upside down in a ditch 15 miles from her starting point.
I haven't heard anything other than the wreck was the contributing cause of her death and I wonder if and how long she may have been alive.
My point is today with the technology we have available there is no reason for this to have played out in the manner that it did.
Technology like this can save more than the cost of a phone.

Enter me in this ocntest.

Love it

Hey All..I downloaded the free version and it appears im missing some features, the remote listen, along with the find my bb feature dont seem to be on the version loaded to my bb tour.

Any help is appreciated

Scott

While this is great for a lot of you who have critical data on your phone, the one feature in this that I would actually use (backup) is still in the paid version. Nice for the rest of you, just not for me.

Finally, an app that does exactly what it says it will do. I did find setting up the Blackberry native e-mail a bit much to have to do, but it was easy enough to do. All the features seem to work well and it is one app everyone should have! Get it!

This app is good but appears to hi-jack the GPS feed so you cannot use SatNav programs and other map applications at the same time?

Can anyone confirm my findings?

There is no exit program option other than close so cannot disable it temporarily to use your handset for SatNav?

Is anyone else experiencing a battery drain? I have had serious battery drain since installing SmrtGuard.

I've also seen serious battery drain after installing this

why does their website show the free version as not having data wipe only pro version allows remote wipe?
