SMSCON/issues

This is a simple page to track of known issues and improvements requested:

  • ISSUE: The SMSCON package does not have an icon.
  Solution: place an icon (48x48) on the root folder of the files you are building to have the icon generated.
  • ISSUE: Some users get errors when the SMSCON sends an SMS. The error is superficial and in reality the message is sent twice.

  • FEATURE: Add authorisation for SSH with public key.

  Allowing to start (remotely) reverse ssh is great option, but, AFAIK, now it works only with ssh connection with password authentication. could You, please, implement authorisation via public key - preferably, located @ configurable (from SMSCON editor) path?
  The idea is, to create special private/public key part, only for using it with SMSCON. normally, sane usage of public key authentication on mobile device require locking it with password - so, no way to use it remotely, as there is no one on the device to write password - but, special pubkey without password just for SMSCON (thus, creating connection with limited access), would be nice to have.
  • FEATURE: Make the "battery info" SMS to send it only when below a threshold level configurable by the user. At the moment, SMSs are sent whenever it drops one bar or the phone is rebooted.
  • FEATURE: Remove the "slide keyboard" message or make it sent only when smscon gets activated.
  • FEATURE: Take the front camera picture when the keyboard gets slided (to increase the chances of capturing the face of the user).
