As we all know that we are connected with our mobile phones
along with a strong bonding. Because we use our Smartphone in many way like; calling, video gaming, song
listening, social networking connection and for many more thing. And so we
always like to be having with it.
One day, it may be that your smartphone could misplace or
may be stolen. Then you will feel very stressful because you have lost your
favorite thing and many Important contact, data, files, photo, etc that was in your
smartphone. So you should prepare your Android phone and after the
preparation losing it will be a much less panic experience. There are given several idea which will help you in the case
of you lose your smartphone.
Some interesting options for you:
Lock It
We usually use our phone several times for a while and even
for a long period. Lock screens makes you less stressful if you continuously
taking your phone out, as You'll have to add a code or swipe a certain pattern
each time when you take your phone out of your pocket.
However, if you do not wish that someone
finding your phone through your email, contacts, and other personal details,
then you should set a lock code. For highly protected
security, you may set up a PIN lock code from your Android’s security settings
screen.
If you feel it’s too
difficult to use, then you should go for set up a pattern. The pattern set up may be less difficult for a thief to
guess the pattern of your device’s screen. But at least it's locked.
Create a Lock Screen Message
Creating a lock screen massage is also a nice thing and it
provides a security. Android freely allows you to create a message and that
massage will appear on your lock screen.
For create a Lock Screen Message you have to Open the Settings app, then
select the Security category, and after that tap the option of Owner info. And in this Owner info, you are free to include your
contact details.
If you ever lose your
smartphone and it’s recovered by a good & helpful person, then that time
this given information by you will help him to return the phone. Even you can include
any other type of message according to your wish— for example, you may say by
including a message " you’ll get a reward if the phone is returned to
me" By these massage honest-but-lazy people will hopefully get
encouragement to return the phone to
you.
Encrypt Option For Sensitive Business Data
Encryption is very helpful process for the people which have
Sensitive Business Data in their phone. But Most of the people won’t need to
encrypt their phones.
But if you have sensitive business data or financial data on
your phone and you did not want give it in wrong hands then you should encrypt
your valuable phone’s data ahead of time. Encrypting the phone will be more
painful thing for the thief and then he will try to put PIN by guess. They may
suffer by freezer attack to bypass your encryption. It is not necessary because
the freezer attack rarely appears in the real world. So, smartphone thieves
will be unable to touch your data, But after the several try they will move
towards resell.
Important data are very valuable in everyone’s life. So You should make sure your valuable data by Configure
automatic backups from your Android phone.
As we all know that Smartphones can be replaced, but some important data
like photos, documents, videos clips and other critical personal data can’t be
replaced.
And you should know that Android automatically synchronizes
data like contacts and calendar events by default. You can freely configure an
app like Google+ or Dropbox to automatically back up your important data. And
by this process make sure that each type of important data on your phone is
backed up or not.
Activate a Lost Phone Tracking Service
The service of tracking and controlling lost Smartphones for
consumers are still not provided by the Google but we can hope it will be one
day easier for us. But for present time
you can use a third-party solution to track and remotely command your lost
phone. You may try to do
this after you lose your Smartphone. As for example,
Lookout’s popular Plan B is a nice option for this experiment. but it is only
applicable with older versions of Android , you will not be able to use the
Plan B app if you have Android 4.0 or later version.
But no need to worry about it, there are several and
different services availabe which you can apply. Even some of the services
charge a monthly authorization fee. I advise you for the
best service of avast! Free Mobile Security. Because avast! Free Mobile Security is wholly free and
consists of a high-quality anti-theft tool, and that tool will allows you to
remotely locate, lock, and wipe your Android device.
For operate in a proper way
avast! Assists you by a website where you may log in to see details
about your Smartphone’s location and take various actions like; message
sending, siren activation, and data wiping.
avast! Is a very valuable option, but it doesn’t have that
approach features that some people want. People expect more from the services like able to record the
audio or take photo from the camera, by which they will hear and see the thief
and will identify him. And if you like these options too you should go for an app
like Cerberus anti-theft. but it will charge fee of $2.99 EUR for a lifetime
license, I suggested you about this because it is cheaper than other
services.
Lost-Phone Tracking for Google Apps Users
As we know that Google truly does provide option of
geolocation and other facilities like remotely wiping, locking, and ringing
lost smartphones — but this service is available only for Google Apps users. But some Organizations that use Google Apps they may aid
these facilities for the users of their
brand. the users who use Google Apps they can use the My Devicespage for view the location where they lost phones.
And this type of similar amenities is available with the
iPhone. it has a service " Find My iPhone service"
accommodated by Apple. you should try these above mentioned option for your smartphones.
