You can try using Google's "Find my device" feature, you can login to your Google account on PC and then use Google's website to locate your device using the "Find my Device" feature, you can also wipe your device remotely to prevent someone from stealing your personal info such as bank account, card numbers, etc..

Hi, as one of my friends phone was about to get stolen when we were out in town a few days ago, I wanted some tracking and anti-theft software on my GS2. I found out how the pre-installed software from Samsung works (go to http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do and register your phone, and then enable tracking under the phone's security settings). But it is a very poor anti-theft solution if you ask me, even thou it works just as well as any solution on the market. First of all, if GPS is disabled and you try to track your phone using the Samsung website, it will ask you "do you want to enable GPS?"..that's just plain stupid and I don't see why it can't force it to start. Second of all, if my phone got stolen I would expect it to get reset to factory settings at some point. In order to avoid this, the phone should ask for the same pincode it ask for when you enable/disable tracking. That way it should always be possible to find the phone if it ever got stolen. I figured it was a simple yet good idea and wanted to feature request it for Android, but I couldn't find any information on where you can do so. Do any of you guys know? Or do any of you developers talk to the Android developers or do they roam in a certain part of the XDA forum?

Please try to contact Samsung/Google via the official contact/support email addresses first.
As they are using help desk systems, each email to those addresses become documented as a request or ticket and will be worked through in some way.
Every other contact (via personal network or a free/internet forum) is "in-official" and could lead into a loss of your input.
Good luck !

It doesn't on my phone. It remotely turns on GPS automatically with no prompt on the phone.
Hi,
I lost my LG P500. Someone stole it.
I know i should've done many things to track it. But unfortunately i didn't! i don't even know it's IMEI number or any details.
But I am here seeking help on a seemingly feeble ray of hope in tracking my phone!
When i open "android market" and click on the 'install' button of any app, i see that my phone is listed with a different carrier name now.
i.e earlier it used to be "Vodafone IN LG-P500".
Now it is shown as "TATA DOCOMO LGE LG-P500".
Which definitely means that the thief used a TATA DOCOMO sim and got connected to android market from my stolen phone!
Now this is my question: Is there any way to retrieve phone details of that TATA DOCOMO connection (like phone number or IMEI details etc.) from "Android Market"?
Or in case some one has a better advice, please post and i would be grateful.
Thanks in advance for your time and concern.
Regards
Manu
Idk about retrieveing data but if you still have the box of the phone there should be also your phones IMEI (it can also be on your warranty papers) also if 6you got it via a carrier you might want to go and tell them and the police what happened.Maybe they can track it down via it's internet connection location.One more thing if you get it back then instal avast and enable it's anti theft option.

There is a tracking app from android market which you can install (from the market) which is for phones lost or stolen. It's called second chance or plan B I dont remember. But its for if you didnt have any anti-theft apps installed at the time it was lost.
Okay this is a question I have been wondering for a while now.
I work in the IT department for my company and we are starting to move to Smartphones. We have an exchange server with active sync. When you setup the stock mail account to it there is a page that states that the system administrator of the server has the capabilities to wipe your phone, wipe data, lock your phone and other things.
2 part question.
How do I block that from happening, is there a way to modify the Mail APK to not allow remote connections to modify my phone
If the above is possible.. how do I stop that?
haha because I don't want anyone having access to my phone even my own department a my job and yet I need to know how to stop if someone outside of IT tries to do it..
I know its alot, any suggestions.
Obviously I am rooted S-on unlocked boot loader and all the bells and whistles.

Dont think its possible without writing an app that alters the ports your phone connects on...Apps like ad-blocker are a good start it does that for you... Just add the ip you want to block to his list after decompiling the app... Recompile and install... That should work itll treat that ip adress as if it were an ad and block it...
I've done this mod already. I'll post it for everyone as soon as I can. I based it in mikeyxda's version which has sync while roaming as well, so I need to check with him first too.

thank you sir! you are a scholar and a gentleman!
I sold a moto x 2nd edition online that I hard reset. The buyer is now saying that he needs my credentials to continue setting up the phone. This is part of the anti theft security Google has implemented. The screen says "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google account that was previously synced on this device.".
Is there any way for me to fix this for him without giving him my email and password?
I tried android device manager online but nothing helps.
(Mods, if my post is in the wrong section, please move it.Thank you).
Thanks!

Hi, I have just bought a Danew tablet and I have the problem of the “Device was reset. Sign in with Google Account that was Previously Synced” message. I have spent hours trying several of the remedies suggested on the net, but have never managed to download a recommended file. I am trying to contact the seller in the hope that he can let me know his password, and then change it. Please please tell me if there is a *real* solution to this problem. Certainly it is time the industry made it possible for a person to sell a phone or a tablet without penalizing the buyer! Thank you.
My questions are simple
I have a friend who was playing an Android game
Dragons of Atlantis heirs of the dragon... Yesterday he played like normal, logged in, logged out... Everything was OK...
But today at 4am someone else logged in his account and deleted everything... Approximately 17000 $ of stuff bcuz you know gamers spend money some times...So is there a game bot, or exploit that breaks that game to find out emails and password? Bcuz that happened...So if anyone knows how to trace that sort of thing from my device let me know...However I don't have a computer just a phone but please reply to private MSG thanks

Man that happens when you download an application from another web and not from play store it's a very simple exploit that they made for u, you can trace maybe if your account it's from Gmail there is a option that can bring the IP and the location of your logs, and a recommendation, you should made more stronger your password and add your number phone to your email address to have more security, for now change your password this would fix that little hackers.
didn't answer my question
How do u find out the IP. Address. Of who used the email account. Besides the. Owner? I would do it myself but I can't help him...i don't. Have pc

Hey bro.
Isn't so difficult tracing back an IP address an email and some passwords by haltering an app.
First of all, as rjcreations saied change email password with a safer one.
Then, make sure next time to download by trusted source like Play Store.
At the end, I can suggest you, after having changed password, send an email to the game devs explaining what's going on your account and see what reply you will obtain.
Ah and make sure to scan twice with MalwareBytes and AVG free (or Avast if you think it's better). Those ones work like a charm
(with you I mean your friend obv, but these advice are the standard ones)
I hope best wishes for you and say to your friend to take care next time
ok
That advice I gave to him already before the first response...just from what I know...
But he thinks that the person who got into his game was from California and he lives in Texas...but he said that the person in California. Has been trying to get him to quit game...and I didn't know that he had given out his login info to one person...so either that did it or they gave out info...i know there's three levels of security...but not sure how. To do it on phone.
He can't change password. According to dev...not yet...so I don't know
