Android device manager helps you locate your gear

Android device of yours is lost? Couldn’t find it? Do not worry Google will locate your device for you using the Android device manager feature. This was initially introduced by Apple by there Find My iPhone, Although it is a late catch up Google it works really well. You can remotely ring your Android device and you can also wipe all the date in your device, but you cannot kill your device 🙁

So lets get started

Before you do anything make sure you put a screen lock to your device.

In order to Achieve this make sure that always GPS is switched on your Android device. You can do this in 2 ways.

1. From the drop down short cut menu

2. Enabling GPS through settings.

Settings –> Location services > Tick on Use GPS satellites

Ok, GPS is switched on we should enable remote management on the Android device,

First go to “Google settings”,

Select Android “Device Manager”

Then tick on Allow remote lock factory reset. (By default “Remotely locate this device” will be ticked)

Setting up your Android device is complete. Now go to Android Device Manager (http://google.com/android/devicemanager) from your web browser, then login the Google account which is configured in your Android device.
