Finding your Phone

Posted on 12:53 by Unknown
  Hey everyone! This week I want to talk about something that happens to all of us. We all misplace our US Cellular devices, or they get stolen. Well there is help in the form of apps.
  My personal choices for this problem are Seekdroid, with the following features:
Find your phone or tablet anywhere in the world. See your device on a map, set off an audible alarm, wipe the device, and more.
Control the following from our secure website:
- Control Multiple devices under one account (*)
- Locate your device
- Remotely Enable GPS
- Display its location on a map with history! (*)
- Track the device using breadcrumbs (*)
- Get notified if the device has left a fenced-
in area (*)
- Audible alarm (even on silent)
w/ custom message
- Text Messaging support
- Setup SeekDroid Remotely via SMS
- Lock device w/ custom code
- Retrieve recent calls
- Remotely wipe entire phone
- Remotely wipe SD Card
- Hide from app drawer
- Disable App from being
uninstalled
- Virtually no battery drain
- Works without a SIM Card
- Retrieve SIM ID, IMEI,
active phone number, and battery remaining
- More features coming soon!
Setup is easy! Install the application on your device and create a username and password when the application launches. Make sure GPS is enabled for more accurate results, and your Google account is setup on your device. That's all! You can do everything else from our secure website at seekdroid.com
  Next up is the late entry into the race from Google, maker of the Android OS with Android Device Manager. If you own an Android device running the Android OS of 4.0 or above this has probably already been loaded on your device (phone and/or tablet). It is very simple and direct app without a lot of bells and whistles. It just works! 
Now, you can locate and ring your phone or tablet remotely.P
If you've misplaced your device in the house, you can use this service from the web to ring your phone. This function will override any silent or vibrate settings, so you won't have to worry about not hearing it. Additionally, it will show you exactly where on a map that your device is hiding. You can also elect to enable remote wipes, though this needs to be set up on your phone or tablet first before you can trigger it remotely. Here is a video showing the wipe feature of this app. P

  Now go forth and never fear losing your device again!
