After thinking I lost my phone yesterday, I decided I outta install one of these apps on my Eris. I've come across WaveSecure, Mobile Defense, and MobiWee (although this last one doesn't seem to be geared towards security really). Which one have y'all found is the best? What do you prefer?

I'm looking for the best app that can be used to track a phone after it has been stolen (or lost).It needs to be able to be Started remotely.Able to send location updates on the web or by email or text Invisible Password-protected (preferably)I've found a bunch of apps by searching, but most of them have terrible reviews about force-closing and what-not.Any good ideas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis shouldn't be that hard to make.( I don't think ) But how about an app sort of like a stolen phone tracking system? It would be hidden inside the phone so you couldn't see it but if anyone ever steals your phone, you can call the phone tracking systems company and find out where it is/who stole it? I think this would be useful because everyone wants this phone and after 90 days of this phone, you can unlock it so I'm pretty sure everyone wants to keep their phone safe.

Looking for that added security to protect your Android phone investment? This is the app you have been looking for and a must have for Android phone users. Mobile Defense hides itself once you install the app and activate it via SMS confirmation. There are no screenshots of the actual application except for the install screen above. Below is a screenshot of the tracking dashboard which uses Google Maps. I tried it and it tracked my phone right down to my exact address. Imagine having your phone stolen and showing up at the thief door? I would rather notify the local authorities and let them do the recovery work.
If your phone gets stolen all you have to do is log into the Mobile Defense website. The GPS on your phone lets you track its location. You can also send a message and loud audible tone(like a loud car alarm) to the phone. It works even if the ringer volume is off. The same process also works if you lose your phone. I know several friends that could use something like this. The beauty of Android is there an app out there for almost anything and more added every day.
This is a must have for all you new Android Phone users and those who haven not found this free jewel. Do you have Mobile Defense installed? Have you used it to find or retrieve your Android phone? If so please feel free to comment below. You can download this app direct to your android phone. Just scan the QR code below with Barcode Scanner application from Android Market:

Is there any app in android which will track the activities going on in phone. Activities like at particular time a particular app was opened and it was closed in some time.. Screenshot was taken at particular time? Is there any app which logs these kind of information.? I heard about logcat extreme app but it is for developers it is complex. I don't requires such complex info app. Just basic things r required. Is there any such app which logs all the activities going on in phone?

Hey guys, I previously posted this (i have now added something extra to this one) on another thread, it took me about 20 minutes to write, surpassing by far any the maximum time I ever spent on one single forum post in the past lmao.It was originally a response to someone who wanted to activate gps remotely if they lost their phone in order to use 'lookout' and then deactivate it afterwards to save battery. I though I'd make it its own thread since it took me ages to write, and it can effectively replace several features of the 'lookout' security app.

I am not yet an Android phone user but I am thinking about it. I currently have a Palm phone and I have used palm os for several years. What I appreciated with palm is the good data security level, for example some records can be hidden and opened only by entering a password. Is that kind of functions available on android phones?

View 19 Replies View RelatedThere's apps to make our phone a short-range metal detector, a radio, a gaming platform, an e-reader. you can control your computer from it, find it when its been lost or stolen, do just about everything except babysit, taxes (not sure about this one, actually), and tapdance.
but is there a biometric security app? the unlock pattern can be determined from the trail your finger leaves on the screen, so id love if it would only unlock when my fingerprint is recognized. is there an app for THAT?
I am searching for a good phone locator software which would be useful when you have lost the phone but with the following security in it :
1) Disable or password protect factory reset on device.
2) Disable or password protect download mode on device so tat any1 else cannot flash the rom.
the above two things can easily remove the phone locator app on any device
I'm seeing so many people complaining about the new lock screen that it seems that many Droid owners aren't using a pattern lock to secure their phone. This really surprises me, the phone contains access to all your email, contacts, calendar, and any other personal data you may have placed on it, and a large percentage of you aren't even using the basic security provided by the pattern lock? Or is it that many people don't know the pattern lock exists? I just can't imagine having a phone like this that isn't secured to whatever extent is available.
View 49 Replies View RelatedMy phone is a maguro (Galaxy Nexus GSM), bootloader unlocked , ClockworkMod Recovery and Cyanogenmod11.
I found online several method to delete the code/pattern security.
Some methods use USB debugging (I have a Tasker script that disables it at every boot).
I also found a clever and powerful tool that really scares me. There is a zip that deletes the Gesture.key and Password.key file.Are there other methods from which I should protect my phone and my data?
Is there an app out there that would allow you to remotely lock it from being turned off and located in case you lose it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently lost my phone, and had an app on it that texted me the location. Unfortunately I was overseas and didn't get the phone back, but it was a good little app - but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it or find it in the market.
The exact fucntionality was that when a different sim card is put in the phone, it preiodically sends you 3 texts with the location of the phone by cell tower, GPS and another (WPS I think?) format. So you get a rough location and also the phone number of the person with the phone. Handy...
Anyone got an idea of what this app was called? It's not Wavesecure, Lookout (which totally failed to locate the phone or restore the backups - rubbish), Where's My Droid...
As I say, done an extensive web and market search and can't find it anywhere..
i tried to flash a rom without unlocking my bootloader. Well im running windows 8.1 and for some reason i couldnt get my computer to recognize the phone at all. After using 3 or 4 different guides i gave up for a few days so not to get too aggrivated. I mean its my own fault but my back up phone sucks lol. So i borrowed my wifes laptop running win 7. I Followed this guide androidforums.com/optimus-l9-all-things-root/807569-guide-security-error-fix.html. everything seemed to work got the s/w screen to appear in reverse and using the cmd prompt that says wiating for device then starting the .bat file from the download it says on the bat cmd prompt that everything worked. well at the bottom its says done then comes up with C:fast boot yours. i have been browsing Google but i haven't been able to find what i am supposed to do with the yours file. i tried putting a kdz file into the file location and running it from that but no luck. after a few min the phone auto reboots and comes back with the security error screen and not the backwards one.

We wipped it clean and did the Nand Restore and its fine now. His phone still has Android 1.5.

How can I restore my lost photos from my Android phone ? I just deleted some photos by accident, I need to get them back, some program that work perfect for my Android phone.

Its an HTC Magic and syncs to my google calendar. I've reset my messenger password so im guessing altho they get into my ebuddy app automatically, the messenger password on the phone will be out of sync and wrong? I've chosen "log out of everywhere" from Windows Live. I've rest my Evernote password. I dont have any apps that can help me find phone or send an erase message to the phone.
So all thats left I guess is my Google calendar. I suppose its not a train smash having my Calendar data on the phone, but I'd like to erase it. If I go to Google Calendar and delete all the appointments will that delete the appointments if my lost phone syncs, and i think ive set it to sync every time the calendar app is run? Also, with contacts, i seem to remember those not syncing very often, only when i went into settings and contacts on the htc, so im not sure of how to get rid of all the contacts on my phone even if I delete them all from my Google Account.
I totally love the droid. but there is one thing that has been bothering me. It synced all my goggle contacts to my phone, and but then deleted them all from g mail. luckily I had all my contacts backed up on my computer and entered them in. Once I did that all my contacts from my phone got deleted. Every contact (other than face book and g mail contacts) that I had in my phone is now gone. What do I do?!
