Hi friends, in today's tutorial we will see how we can locate an Android phone or Android tablet stolen or lost. We also have a tutorial on the subject in which we used Lookout Security & Antivirus the disadvantage was that we should have already installed application on your phone or tablet before the device be lost or stolen.
Today we'll use Plan B, an application made by the same company Lookout Mobile Security and given to us as a backup plan if we do not install any tracking software on your phone or tablet and have not taken any other action in To locate the device before it is lost or stolen.
What to know before using the application?
Well, as we can use Plan B, lost or stolen Android device must have an Internet connection. If that happens, the application will be installed the next time it will have an internet connection that if we stole that Android device not removed the SIM card from your phone and Google has not replaced our account with another. Usually thieves are not very technical people, and we hope for their inability to do these things.
How do I install Plan B?
It is very simple. If we lost our Android device or it was stolen from us, we will have to get in front of a computer connected to the internet as soon as possible. We open a browser, access play.google.com, log in (mandatory for everything to work) in the Play Store with the Google account used on the lost or stolen Android device, search for the Plan B application and click on the blue "INSTALL" button
If the device will be mobile internet connection or wireless, the application will automatically download and install the device and begin to do their job. If the application is successfully installed on your Gmail account used on your Android device (log on to your Gmail account using the device to a PC with an internet connection) you will receive an email notification as the application is successfully installed and that in a few seconds will start locating device.
What is Plan B and how it works?
The application once installed will automatically try to activate the GPS device for 10 minutes and send e-mails to map the precise location of the device and Android. Emails will be sent to your Gmail account using the lost device so you need to login from a PC Gmail account to view emails sent by Plan B application
On some Android devices, the application can only activate GPS even if it is disabled in the device settings. In the specifications of the Plan B application we are also warned that on some devices the application is not activated automatically and it is necessary to activate the application by sending an SMS to the number on the Android device with the text "located". The Plan B application uses mobile phone towers and GPS to locate them.
And at the end, a small tips for those who want to spy on children or neveasta: If you have used Google account password, and you know his wife and child on their Android device, you can install this application on their device to find out where wife or child.
That said, I invite you to see the video tutorial to see exactly what we do and how we locate Android phone or tablet after they were stolen or lost even if I installed a software for it before as a precaution

Hello Cristi (ADMIN) If you can please help me change the android on a tablet (Evolio evotab1) and how I could just root. offered by the android version of Evolio buna.multumesc not so very much and all bune.astept forward.
Unfortunately that's what I do when thieves steal a phone, remove the card.
There are stupid thieves, not all know how to remove the card.
Very useful tutorial. Thank you ! Unfortunately, this thing with GPS is not very useful in many cases - if the thief lives in a 10-storey building or is in a crowded place…. Apart from that it is not very accurate, the margin is very large, for me it is 500 m, it may differ depending on the device, but 500 m in Bucharest makes it impossible to locate.
If you did not guess tel net p e 0 application.
The best app's androidlost.com give a tutorial about it, it's really useful.
Application really works and works well.
I installed it on your pc and SMRT was in another room.
I received the activation mail and checks 2 (show on map position).

what to do how to find my phone I installed a Galaxy SII nothing and the card is discarded. I have a chance of recovering???
Let's be serious, who would be so naive to think that he will recover his phone after it is stolen !? I have an application like this, but I only use it to lock the phone in a case like this (if I don't have it anymore, well, don't use it either), I don't know how good these applications are, I mean, how "tough" they are when you want to take them out, but for the "smart ones" who deal with these chickens, it will surely be very difficult for them to sell a locked phone!
hello I have a samsung galaxy dak s2 and want to know if it is stolen and it was given back to factory settings lose these applications with phone or have any chance to recover it?
If your e-mail address is yahoo.com how to join the application because the play asks google gmail address ...
You can enter and another address?
No, I had to use Google account used on your smartphone.
Specifically need to login with the same email address (gmail) used to authenticate the device when Google Play, in Otherwise, Plan B will not get where you need.
My thoughts eu.am a Sony Ericson Xperia arc.in case is reset to factory settings, as we also found? Today a good day raspuns.o

Hello, please if you know another application for the same location, you do not have to be installed. We ask this because my phone Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is not compatible with Android 4.1.2 ..
Hi, I have a samsung galaxy dak s3 and want to know if it is stolen and it was given back to factory settings lose these applications with phone or have any chance to recover it?
I think the only option is to try it yourself… .that no one answers that… ..if I think about it… goodbye
I have a sony xperia neo v, rooted and with 3 applications like this on it 2 with paid license and one free. They are: Prey; Cerberus and Bitdefender which also has such an option. I moved all these applications to the system so if someone steals this phone from me and completely resets it and deletes absolutely everything from it, these applications still remain because they are recognized as part of the system. So I did all these resets to make sure that I will be able to recover my phone and… ..surprise …… .the phone can not be recovered because when you delete everything and reset the phone all data and accounts are lost existing. So you best be careful where you leave it because there is little chance that you will ever recover it, given that everyone now knows that the first thing you do on a phone is to reset it to factory settings. If anyone can contradict me, I wait for it to be proven to me.
Much respect for videotutorial.ro team because without them we would not have many here never managed to learn so many things for free!
Thank you very much I managed to recover a LG optimus l7 using this application although my battery went very quickly because it was the way I'm from Galati GPS enabled and I found the phone just to Oradea

Hi, a Lg Optimus E975 was also stolen from me, but the phone is turned off, it was downloaded. Can it be located even in these conditions? I am waiting for your answer… thank you!

I started on the wrong foot this year. New Year I was stolen tablet (GALAXY Note LTE 10.1 / N8020).
The problem is that I could not risk resorting to recovery solutions like this one, because I had important information by email. So I changed the access passwords and blocked the Sim (vodafone). Can anything be done in this case? I have the imei on the box, if it helps with anything….
In the event of a response,
Thank you in advance!

If you apply for plan b after the theft is more likely that you have had sufficient time as to reset the tablet to factory settings and turned off the GPS. Application for Plan B is preferable to take place as soon as possible, a few minutes after the theft that it is not guaranteed or recovery device. No such application does not guarantee finding or recovery device, especially if the thief is very skilled. The software of this kind only offers hope, a chance to recover the device.
Hi, how can I find phone if yahoo account and not gmail? Thank you, waiting for an answer
And if so reset the Fabrique's possible? ;))
If you hang up the phone resets or someone obviously can not be located.
If you still want to, you could make a security system that does not allow you to turn off or reset your phone without a password. Then it would be like a "hot potato" for thieves.
But could remove the battery
I lost a samsung galaxy s3 and I tried to install the application that tells me it is not compatible… can someone give me an explanation
is a free program in android market with which I can see in real time (via gps) where the target phone is? to send me by email data about: contact, calls, messages… etc?
Regards!
See in the section "Similar articles" below the tutorial. See maybe the tutorial "Prey, monitor and find your stolen or lost laptop or phone" will help you. You can search in the Play Store the Cerberus application that I heard is one of the best if not the best application of its kind. Unfortunately it costs but it also has a trial version to try and see if you like it.
Hello! yesterday my friend took isa purse which had all the documents and among them a phone Huawei G510, think that they can do anything?
I do not think it can fece something if he had no phone tracking software installed. Chances of finding a stolen phone is quite small and such a program without. Maybe if you go to the police help her with something. I would not know. But technically the person you think you can not locate a phone that has no software localization.
Hello, I lost my phone and had no more than 3-4% if the battery died you did not have a chance to find my phone?
If the thief hard reset the phone and removed the card, do I still have a chance to recover it? Having no plan B, can the police help me? But if he is taken to another country?
If the thief gave you hard reset the average user does not have a chance. Police do not know if you can help. Look what I wrote above.

best! my phone was stolen, but the problem is that I changed my google account password as soon as I found it was furat..mai can do something?
Buba I wonder as I read that there is a problem in connection with this application Okan B can not uninstall!
I can test the application plan B because it is only compatible with devices running Android 2.2 and 2.3 and I have none at hand but do not see why you would not be able to uninstall. Flash applications look through recovery resist reset and you can only access with a code as fell to a version of Cerberus. But plan B if installed normally do not see why you would not be able to uninstall.
Hi, I lost my phone, I found someone's person .. but still do not know where it sits. He talked to me but does not want to bring your phone. I tried to add this application on samsung galxay s plan b 5 but says it's incompatible. What to do?
Let's straighten things up: there is a difference between the location of the phone and his recovery.
Locating Lost or stolen phone unrepentant his recovery is unnecessary and likely to cause more frustration and injured party.
The confusion between terms that do generate misunderstanding of the practical possibilities of recovering the phone.
"Finding" or locating your mobile phone is not the same as retrieving your phone.
I do not think anyone would be happy to follow up on a digital map position stolen or lost phone. Recovery means pozesia reentering the phone, a situation that can not be helped by any location of your phone, simply because the victim or the loser phone does not have the legal fall thief knocking on the door to ask for refund. Prerogative belongs exclusively Police, however paraleu lion who were considered lost phone.
Hi. My phone was stolen…. But I don't know how to find it because I can't remember the email address and password I used to make the samsung account. It's a samsung galaxy s3 mini. Pls, help- me
2 days ago my phone was stolen in urban transport
LG 70 you can help to detect, can it?
I think it would be good to put pressure on the person who found the phone stolen, at least psychologically, in order to be determined to return the phone. For example, the phone may display a message such as “Your personal data has been transmitted to the police and you are being tracked. You have 24 hours to return the phone. After this term you will be considered a criminal and you will bear the consequences of the law. The phone will be completely locked and will never be used again. " Eventually a reward can be promised to the finder. Also, I think that to identify the phone, a code specific to that phone must be used, which cannot be canceled in any way (the phone number can change).
Try to install Plan B, but before she tells me that it's not compatible with my device? Android is still, somehow know another application like this? or you can help me to install?

Thus locked, you can rest assured about your personal data, that can not use your phone and any applications, your accounts.
