Android Device Manager lets you delete data and phone location

Hello friends, today's tutorial we will talk about the new service from Google called Android Device Manager that allows us to locate your Android device if you lose or we were stolen.
Android Device Manager is a service that ought to exist for so long as it happens to Samsung or Apple devices running iOS operating system.
Android Device Manager allows users of Android devices to log in with the same Google account on the device used in Android Device Manager service page accessed from a desktop browser, on a tablet or any other device that has an Internet connection. Once in Device Manager interface we will be able to give a remote control device to Android for it to play an alarm for 5 minutes at maximum volume, even if the device is in silent mode. A useful option that allows us to locate the device if you lose the house and not know where our device. If we find the device in less than 5 minutes, we are able to optimal existing alarm by pressing the power button on your Android device.
Another important feature is the ability to locate your lost device on a map and so we can recover or we can get an idea about where he was and so we can decide what action to take on further recovery.
The most important feature of the Android Device Manager service is "Erase Device" which will allow us to remotely delete (remotely) all existing information on the lost or stolen Android device. I would recommend that you use this option with the utmost caution and consider it only if you think there is no chance of recovering your lost or stolen Android device.
Although we do not offer advanced options as other existing location services market which we have made video tutorials in the past, it's still good to have the options available, which can benefit any time without being forced to install or prepare something before our Android device as happens when using other services or applications of location.


Adrian: Hungry for information and knowledge, I like everything related to the technical field and I share my knowledge with great pleasure. Those who give themselves to others will lose themselves but usefully, leaving something useful to others. Enjoying this privilege, I will never say "I don't know", but "I don't know yet"!

    I do not know what you mean, in page Android Device Manager service does not have the possibility to add a device. As I said both in text and video tutorial, on your Android Device Manager must login with the same Google account on your phone or Android tabelta.

  • Hi, I'm a little disappointed with the application, especially when it comes to location .... I was located in Cluj in a location where I was a month ago .... and it still tells me that it's about 19 meters, although I am about 35 in that area: D. In the settings I checked the locations and everything related to the location (via wifi, gsm and other dracovenii) and it still doesn't work. It would be great if he also had an option to lock the phone (if it is stolen) ... but maybe in the future ... maybe ... :))

      If your Android device doesn't appear in Android Device Manager, or if you see Unknown location despite your device being online and running Google Play services version 3.2.25 or higher, follow these steps:
      Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.
      Android Touch Device Manager.
      Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.
      Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps> All> Google Play services.
      Touch Clear Data. Note that this action does not remove personal data.
      Go back to Google Settings and select Allow remote factory reset.
      Restart your device.
      Once your device restarts, wait around five minutes and refresh android.com / devicemanager.

  • Works without selecting them from GPS satellites! Otherwise worked FAST!
    And right! Thank you so much for all you do!
