In an attempt to increase the number of users that complete the Phonelocator Periodic sign in process, we have created this video that runs through the sign in process that needs to be completed after Phonelocator Periodic is installed on a phone.
This process is the same for both Phonelocator Periodic versions 0.9 (free) and 1.0 (paid)
See below:

The new version of the Phonelocator Periodic web app was rolled out today (20. February). The new version adds a ‘My Account’ page that allows the user to edit their account details and delete their account. Deleting individual location updates is now also possible. Behind the scenes we’ve upgraded the web app from Rails 2 to Rails 3 and fixed some defects in the Java Daemon process that communicates with the clients. Gzip context encoding has been enabled in the web server to reduce the amount bandwidth used to view the web page. This is especially beneficial for users connecting wirelessly over slower 2G links and those who pay for bandwidth by the megabyte.

We intend to upgrade the phonelocator webapp, http://periodic.phonelocator.mobi, on 19 / 20 February. Please expect service disruption during that time.

A new version of the Phonelocator web application is available for testing here.
Most of the changes are not visible to the user, we’ve upgraded from Rails 2 to Rails 3 and moved from restful-authentication to authlogic. The app has been given a visual referesh and the following new features added:
It’s possible to view and edit your login and email address. Account deletion is now possible without emailing support too!
It’s now possible to delete individual updates.
The app is not yet production ready, but it is now possible to test it. You will need Phonelocator 1.0 mobile app from the Ovi store. After installing and starting the application, switch to the settings pane and set the host name to stage.phonelocator.mobi. Then switch back to the status pane and sign in as normal. You will need to create an account on stage.phonelocator.mobi even if you already on perioidc.phonelocator.mobi. If you already have Phonelocator 1.0 installed on your phone, you’ll need to remove it and re-install using the Ovi store.
