New updated doesn't have binary sms remote control!!
« on: January 29, 2016, 03:02:24 AM »
So my friend has the new update on her note 4 and it doesn't give the option for sms remote control in the app. If I send regular sms, the person might see it and turn the phone off or remove battery. Has the binary sms remote control been removed intentionally?

I really hope we get the binary SMS control panel back.

This feature was the only reason why I kept it on my phones zoo because the virus checking functionality on Android is a joke. Now, it is gone..., so good-bay Avast mobile.

Is this confirmed gone? I have a post open about this as I did not see this post, though technically unconfirmed.
I will have to look around for something else as well, the bloat and notifications trying to push all the extra bloat was too much for me now anyway.
This was a great tool, before all unwanted extra and notification/popups.
The sms was what made this great, but not great enough to pay when I get it free from another app without all the extra bloat.

It's gone. Avast calls this "upgrade".  ::)

Can you provide a linky so I can confirm, so far I have found nothing about this, except this post

Gone indeed, uninstalled the useles v5 and reinstalled v4, I can protect and locate my device once again, this has to be the stupidest 'upgrade' ever. No official confirmation from avast either, great cs
