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

What's the lost phone app advertised in the new droid commercial and what's the app you all prefer for retrieving a lost or stolen phone?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any kind of app that can locate other Android phones? Like, maybe run the app on both phones, then have it show up on the maps, so we could find each other using GPS? Me and my friend go in the trails around my house a lot, and our phones are very accurate for where we are, so we're not worried about the accuracy of the GPS, as we know how it is already.

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?
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOK all you developers there is not a GOOD wifi hot-spot locater out there! I want to be able to put in my zip code or have it pull from my gps where I am and then tell me where the nearest wifi spots are. I used to have an awesome app on my Blackberry. It was user driven--as in we could add hot-spots and rate them. Jii Wire is trying. Their Iphone app works awesome . . their Android app . . well it stinks! Given it is a new app and hopefully they will continue to make it better but seems rather slow in coming. Google places has a wifi finder but unfortunately there are too many morons that don't get how important is to have their business listing be correct--if they have claimed it you can't even add it for them.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHey 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I need to put a good password keeper on my phone. There are many, of course. I want to get one that also has a desktop version. My question is when syncing, what do you feel is more secure? Syncing to a cloud such as Dropbox or straight WiFi sync between my phone and pc?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo after having seen that I could use CyanogenMod 10.1 to get version 4.2.1 onto my Tab, I've gained a particular interest in rooting my p3113. With that said, I still have concerns about security with custom roms;
-How do I make sure I am as secure as possible?
-Is it still safe to purchase with Google Wallet on the Play Store?
-What should I avoid in order to remain safe?
I know the "risks" involved in rooting a device, although following instructions will assure that such issues do not occure. So other than the actual security issues, I need no additional information
I have a co-worker using an iPhone 5 giving me greef for this not working on my phone so i need to get this worked out lol.
I have a Galaxy Nexus running JB (4.1.1) . For a while my exchange email worked fine. However now, it will not sync. I attempted to reset up the account, however the "Exchange requires security settings update" message that we are suppose to get at the end of the setup (which appears the first time) does not re-appear on any inital setups.
One of our faculity (i work at a university) has this same phone and had issues with it when she upgraded. It was only after a hard reset of the phone did the message appear, which we then accepted and it started syncing the mail as it should.
I really don't want to reset my phone, so is there a way to "reset" the security settings so that it prompts me, or someplace i can go to enable it to get my email to work?

View 6 Replies View Relatedwhy my Brand New Samsung Galaxy S3 is switching screens from whatever screen I am currently on to the Security and Lock Screen?
It seems it may be APP related because when I KILL my apps with the Advanced Task Killer it doesn't happen as often.
ALL the Apps are the same Apps that were on my previous phone (Samsung Captivate) which never did this. There are no NEW Apps on this phone.
Software is current and up to date as it was downloaded within 5min after un-packaging the phone.
I have a brand new windows 7 computer, I have installed the latest android SDK, I want to connect to my Nexus 10 using adb.
(device has windows drivers from SDK; "Android Composite ADB Interface". adb version 1.0.31)
when I do adb devices, it does see my device but it says my device is unauthorised.
It has never displayed the security popup.
I am convinced that the security pop up would make this work, but i cannot get it to show, so that it does whatever magic it does.
I have tried plugging and unplugging the usb cable,
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off.
I have changed the USB connection from Camera, to Media, back to Camera.
I can see the adbkey file under $HOME/.android in windows
The android directory /data/misc/adb/ is empty
I have root.
How can I force the security popup to display? Or how can I frig this so I can get it working?
What does the secuirty popup do anyway? probably just copy the adbkey file from windows into the android /misc/adb/ directory right? Can I do it by hand?
Slightly unrelated question, is it true that everything works first time, everytime on IOS?
I have an SGS2 with the latest ICS release (rooted). I work with two companies supporting sync with the exchange server (2010) on a smartphone.
I can set up both exchange servers at the same time. The first day the both work, but on the second day one of the two (so far always the same) start giving me connection errors, and will no longer sync emails.
I am almost sure that the problem is that for security reasons, both want to have their security policy (admin privileges etc) enforced over my phone, and when they re-check daily they find that the policy is not as they want it. to overcome this?
