If you have the misfortune of losing our Android device, or a burglary, Manager Android devices offers a number of tools that can help you find, lock or delete your data remotely if we see that we can not get our Mobile.
In case of theft, it is not recommended to try to recover the mobile on our own to not deal with a worse situation with that in that case it is best to limit ourselves to delete your data, put the corresponding police report and call our operator to block network access our mobile and SIM. In these cases will be very useful to have targeted the IMEI (* # 06 #) and serial number of your device.
Activate the device manager
To use all functions of Device Manager (available for Android 2.3 or above) the first thing we have to do is have it properly activated. It is made from the Settings app of Google. There in the "Device Manager" section we will have activated the two choices, locate your device and allow the deletion and remote locking. Once these two options in "Settings> Security> Device Administrators" activated we can verify that you have successfully activated the option block and delete our device.
Find our device Android
Once activated in each of our devices can now easily locate them, either from the Android Device Manager application, which we will have to download it from Google Play, or from any web browser with
its official website.
Manager Android devices allow us to locate, lock and wipe our devices from anywhere. If we lose our mobile or tablet, and do not have a computer handy, we can try to locate from the mobile of another person accessing the Device Manager application as a guest by entering our Google account.
Android Device Manager allows us to see on the map the last location of each of our devices to know where they are or were, next to the option put them a custom name to know better and the following three major options:
Sonar: With this option, your device will sound for five minutes at full volume, regardless of the volume was wearing. This option is very handy to find the phone in case we do not remember where we left off and we had it in silence.
Lock: This option lets you remotely lock your device with a password or PIN to prevent anyone who finds the mobile access our personal data.
Delete: This last option is to remotely erase all information from our device, eliminating all our applications, files and user data, which once done will remain factory and we can not locate it, uninspired lost always.
These same options can also access the web version of Managed devices, which can be accessed easily by clicking on the gear icon in the web of Google Play.
