[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Nikhil:
hi XDAians,

we all are familiar with Why mobile security matters..but in order to keep our data secured we need to keep our smartphone secured too..there are tons of thieves in market which always look after stealing your smartphone..we need to protect our smartphone from those thieves too...

some days back a friend of mine lost her galaxy grand..and even i am an experienced person..someone stole my phone too..so i googled for app which provides best protection to our android smart phone...

There are plenty of anti theft apps available in android market but all of them are not reliable..so i will post here Anti-Theft/Mobile Tracking apps which are reliable..:)

1. Cerberus

So starting with an app named Cerberus

Why this app is so special..?

It has three ways to protect your device:

- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com

- Remote control via text messages

- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card

Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:

- Locate and track it

- Remotely turn on Wifi,GPS,data mode

- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode

- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card

- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer

- Lock the device with a code

- Record audio from the microphone

- Get a list of last calls sent and received

- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to

- Capture a pic with rear or front with or without the front camera

- Capture a video

- And much more!

Whenever your perform any of the operation (eg.capture a picture) the image is automatically sent to your email address..

You may also watch youtube video to see the demo

i have personally tried this and found it awesome app for tracking mobile...

my location was traced upto accuracy of 24m..that is awesome..you can get your phone back if it is stolen for sure..this is very reliable app..

Instructions:

1. Download and install app from here

2. Register with an account, your will get an email then

3. Check Your mail..some instructions will be given there

Note: You will get a trial of 6 days after that you have to buy this app for 211.97 INR

in my opinion it is better to spent 211.97 INR after a phone worth rs 21k and protect it for lifetime

after buying you will get lifetime licence.

Also: this app could be installed with same username in 5 different devices..so you and your friends can share money and buy this app..doing so each of you will just have to pay 40/- only..

i suggest you guys to try this app and test whatever you want to test within 6 days...if you find it fruitful then must buy..
