Recover Lost Android Phone

Recover Lost Android Phone – How to get your
lost android mobile smartphone back with these
best applications.

It’s time for parties. All sorts of parties. Your
company might throw one, your family wants to
spend some quality time and invites over some
friends. But no matter the type of party you will be
part of, there’s always a good chance for one to
lose the phone. It seems to be an unwritten law.
Normally, you would start surveying the house.
But in this context it seems a little bit odd. Are you
sure you want to show everybody your inner
geekness while others think of mistletoe and
confetti. Yes, it’s a bad time, glad you realize it.
If you own a smartphone and your intention is
not losing it, you’d better listen to Android and
follow their recommendation. The classic trick with
calling yourself or texting might work. If you are
home, if it’s quiet and if your phone is not on
silent. At a party, this trick won’t do the work! So,
Android says: go for apps. Where’s my Droid  is
one of those apps that will help you recover your
precious lost ‘jewel’. This app requires a pre-
designed code word, which once activated, will
alarm your phone, which will start ringing even
though is on silent mode. You can get this app for
free. It works with Android 1.6.or a newer
version. The Lost Phone app is compatible with
1.5 and Lookout Security also requires at
least1.5.

There also the chance to lose your phone in some
other location that the one expected. On the street
for instance. Or maybe you simply forgot it home.
That’s where the GPS tracking comes in. The good
news is that almost every new phone has it and
furthermore, some security apps can provide you
some details regarding your phone’s location
without having the GPS turned on.
Another solution is Lookout’s Plan B. To install
this, you’ll have to access the Android Web Market.
This app requires minimum Android 2.0. With GPS,
getting back your phone works only when you lost
it outdoor. Inside, it’s rather difficult to locate it.
None of the previous alternatives work. Your
phone might be stolen. Some thief took it and he
knew exactly how to act in such a situation: they
will shut it for a couple of days. In this case, you
want to wipe data, so that no one else can use your
phone. You can go for Lookout Security. Anyway,
this doesn’t work a 100%. The researchers have
discovered that some data can be recovered after
wiping it. The good news is that Kaspersky Mobile
Security is an exception. It seems that it offers a
very good protection. You can purchase it for less
than 15€.
Don’t underestimate a thief. He might snatch your
data before you wipe it. It is important to treat the
loss of your phone as the loss of a computer. So
you’d better text or call your friends and informed
them that you are not anymore in the possession
of the phone.
As a conclusion, you have to consider, that finding
your phone without a security app or without a
GPS is not an easy job. So, my advice is to install
something as soon as possible. Go for Where’s my
Droid. It the most accessible and quite efficient.
