I checked the forum and read the Documentation regarding the 'Stealth Facility. On my Nexus 4 it still shows 2 icons and is obvious that Anti Theft software is installed, so I can't see how this statement from the Documentation is true:
"The stand alone nature of the Anti Theft component means it can operate in “stealth mode” so that it is completely invisible to a potential thief.
Once the application is launched, it hides itself automatically, so that a potential thief is not even aware of its presence on your phone. This contrasts with other products on the market which are a visible part of the main product. This makes them almost redundant as any potential thief will dispose of a phone as soon he becomes aware of the Anti Theft application, significantly reducing your chances of successfully recovering it."
After reading a post regarding a Samsung, I followed those instructions and turned off the AAT and rebooted. The drawer icon didn't disappear as suggested, and when the password screen came up, (I'm using a password) I used the back button and the password keyboard disappeared leaving the menu behind in plain view - including the 'Anti Theft' entry.
I then turned it on again and rebooted, getting a couple of information screens, one saying 'the Anti Theft has been enabled and the launcher icon will be hidden' - it wasn't!
It was just as before - 2 icons - one on home screen, one in drawer (if that's what it's called) and exactly the same scenario when the back button is pressed. The settings screen behind is visible including 'Anti Theft' setting.
Any 'thief' in the above statement could see all this too, and presumably dispose of my phone. The opposite of what's said above in the manual!
The only thing I'm unsure of is regarding the 'false' icon. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention installing, but I'm sure the setup instructions said something like 'if you don't choose a name for the false icon, it will be called 'XXXX'. (I can't remember what it was) but I checked all icons and nothing new had appeared. And of course the original 'Avast Mobile Security' and 'Avast Mobile' icons were still present.
Is this a bug, or am doing something wrong? Should I uninstall / re-install? (paying more attention to the 'false icon' statement?)
I would rather not go all through the setup again unless really necessary.
Any help would be appreciated.
