Tracking and Recovering your Missing Android Smartphone

The biggest mistake we do in our day-to-day life is that we store all our important data in our one single smart phone. In most cases losing your phone causes bigger problems. So in this case I am going to show you to track your missing mobile phones.

Don't forget, There's always a good chance for you to recover your phone and an even better chance of preserving your data should the worst case scenario come to fruition. With an app like Lookout Mobile Security you can activate the ‘find my phone’ feature on your Android similar to iPhone users’ MobileMe.

Simply create an account on My Lookout and track your missing phone via GPS location.

“Help track a lost device with Lookout or remotely wipe with Lookout Premium”

Should the culprit of your stolen phone disable the GPS on your device, you can preserve your personal data by remotely wiping your internal and external memory with WaveSecure by McAfee. The downside is that this app weighs in at a subscription price of $19.90 per year. Of course, with an exhaustive list of apps to choose from both on the Android Market and elsewhere such as:

1. Security Shield by SMobile ($29.99)

2. Lookout Mobile Security Premium ($2.99 per month or $29.99 annually)

3. Anti-Virus by AVG paired with Chrome’s Finder can locate and remotely wipe your device for free.
