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. Thanks ! 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 .... other than that it is not very accurate, the margin is very large, for me it is 500 m 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.
