Android notification: "Prey is working its magic!" #59

Closed Marooned-MB closed 10 years ago

Marooned-MB commented 10 years ago

Since recently update Pray is pushing notification on phone every few minutes saying "Prey is working its magic!". Strange thing is that I've checked git repository and the last change in the code using notification_title message was done in 2011.

Anyway, this really frustrating and there is no option to disable this. Pray is supposed to work silently! When the phone is stolen the last thing we want is to tell the thief that there is some tracking service working in the background. This makes Pray absolutely pointless!

This notification is even "lying" as it says that the new report was sent and it leads us to the www Pray panel where there is no info about the report. Why even sending a report when device is not marked as missing?

Looks like Charlie Foxtrot a bit.
