Gitanic 6th Gear November 10, 2012 Share November 10, 2012 All smart phones have utilties for you to track its locations. Letting you possible to find it back. OK......'possible' only That include Iphones,Android phones,Windowphones.......not sure abt Blackburry though. I know for Android phone even after you lost your phone,you can download a tracking utility called 'Plan B' into the phone fr your desktop. That will track it down. But of cos the theive can delete n u have to download many times. Even restarted phone can download tracking fr you desktop. So....have you ever done this? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitanic 6th Gear November 11, 2012 Author Share November 11, 2012 (edited) bro, which app to download Android? U can go to Google Play on your desktop n type 'tracking lost phones'.

Gitanic 6th Gear November 11, 2012 Author Share November 11, 2012 Will it work if the thief removed the SIM card? 1st ly you have to connect your phone to google play. It will then recognise your phone,not your SIM card. Yes it will work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemice 2nd Gear November 11, 2012 Share November 11, 2012 guys, in the case of a SIM change. it will only work when the lost phone connects to the www via wifi or 3G/4G. If it stays offline, even pre-installed software will not work. just tested this recently, wif my own phone(not lost). mice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged November 11, 2012 Share November 11, 2012 android_lost Also not working. Just tested on my S3. The person with the phone can just change the settings or remove it easily.

Hotamp 3rd Gear November 11, 2012 Share November 11, 2012 Also not working. Just tested on my S3. The person with the phone can just change the settings or remove it easily. Got anyway to add password or something to prevent others from changing the settings? for my tab, my device need to "Sync" with my samsung account in order for the samsung app to connect into the device to track/delete etc.....ya i guess the first defense is to passwrd lock the device to prevent the thief from deleting the samsung account from the device, otherwise a hard reset will delete all apps.
