GETTING BACK YOUR LOST SMARTPHONE !!


Lost your Android phone? Here’s how to track down and retrieve it


Here is the top two ways to find you lost android phone !!

Android Device Manager :

device tracker  

Features:
  • Track your phone through GPS
  • Wipe phone’s memory remotely with computer
  • Make phone ring loudly, remotely
  • Lock someone out of using your phone, remotely

Android Device Manager is built into all Android phones and allows you to do almost anything you want, assuming your GPS is activated (this program won’t work if GPS is off at the time that you try to track the phone). First, go to the Web interface. If your phone is linked to your Gmail account and you’re already logged in, then it should automatically track your phone. Depending on what you’ve set up ahead of time, you can remotely lock it, wipe it, or set off an alarm (your phone rings at full volume for five minutes, even when muted). We put scared everyone in the DT offices when we tried this feature because Google labels it “ring your device,” which sounds innocent enough. (It’s not.)


Be aware that if you leave your Gmail account open on a computer, someone could potentially use it to track the location of your phone, or you could nefariously do the same to others (you weirdo). Most importantly, be sure to set up all your options before you lose the phone, so you can use any of the features the Device Manager offers when you need them.

Features:
  • See GPS location of your phone on Google Maps
  • Make phone ring loudly by texting it a custom code word/phrase
  • Receive notification via email if SIM card is changed
  • Hide texts from whoever has your phone by texting it the custom code word/phrase for this
  • Make a custom list of who can text the phone the custom word/phrase to activate features

This app is similar to the Device Manager, but with more features. With this app – which you will have to have installed before you lose your phone – you can do things like text the phone a code word to find it or activate a spy camera. With the texting feature, you can set up a list of people that can text the phone the secret word to make it ring loudly, get the GPS location, activate the camera, and more. You can also set up a list of people who you want to block from this remote access.
