I have spent quite some time searching the web and this forum and can't seem to find a solution.
I'm running Mobile Security 4.0.7884, Anti-Theft 3.0.7118, on a rooted stock ROM Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 4.4.4). I've installed the rooted version of Anti-Theft and created an account on my.avast.com. From the web portal, nearly every feature works. However, the "Password Check" feature does not work from the device.
For example, with each block checked in that option: (Advanced Settings -> Password Check):
1. I turn on screen.
2. Enter pattern incorrectly 3 times. (I also switched to password security, to see if avast is limited to passwords--no difference.)
3. No picture, no SMS sent.
4. Web portal does not mark phone LOST.
I've also tried using the "Send test SMS" and "Simulate theft event" options from the menu. Each time it returns the following:
SMS 1 Status:
Error: 0
Any advice greatly appreciated!
