Questions Answers
Why can't iFonProtect take a picture or get location coordinates and email or text them to a designated recipient? Sending an email or making any kind of call from the iPhone requires verification from the user.  Presumably, in this case that user could be a thief!
Can the alarm be made louder? The alarm sounds at the system audio level so adjust the volume using the buttons on the edge of the iPhone prior to pressing the ProtectMe button.
Can't a deactivation code be added? Even if one were added an unauthorized user could press the 'Home' button to quit the application. ADDED with RELEASE 1.2
Can the delay between the time that motion is detected and the alarm sounds be varied? The delay is currently fixed at 2 seconds, but the ability for the user to vary this is planned for the first update.  ADDED with RELEASE 1.1
How can I prevent an unauthorized user from deactivating the alarm? One can't, but one can make it more difficult and time consuming by placing the iPhone inside something else or by reversing the iPhone in its case, obscuring the Home button.  Either technique will allow the alarm to sound longer, drawing attention to the culprit.  ADDED with RELEASE 1.2
Can the alarm be made to sound even if the phone is switched to silent? Unfortunately no.  Apple does not give the programmer access to this.
Motion activates the display, but the alarm doesn't sound after the delay.
Ensure that the Ring/Silent switch is all the way in the 'Ring' position.
