Android Mobile - Security , Anti theft , Protection , Tracking.

How to secure your  android mobile from theif and once it is stolen , than how to recover it.

Before we going to protect our android phone , we have to know what happen when intruder or theif stole your phone.

1.  When theif , got your phone he first try to switch off your mobile, which is easy , simply holding power button , he can switch off your phone from lockscreen.(And you can do nothing about it #wait keep reading I provide solution for this problem as well).
   
2.  Or theif can put your phone in airplane mode. (So if you try to call , phone is switched off)
3. And famous one  he put your phone in client mode . So if you try to ring your phone you will not hear anything.
4. Or he directly remove your phone battery (however this is hardware related, but most phone now a days have  inbuilt battery which is difficult to remove.)

Now , most of us know about it this problems but the main question is how we can prevent this to happen because by default any Android version did not provide to secure power options like power off ,airplane mode and to secure options like sound control on lock screen.

I will hope these methods will help you to address the above given problems make sure to subscribe to my blog notifications and please comment if you have any problem regarding this post instructions.

Always remember once your phone is stolen the above method will help you but in cases like removable battery which is hardware related the thief can easily format factory your phone using recovery options .

Above given methods are software related protection in case of hardware problems they will not help.

And if there is no option left and you will not able to recover your phone then make sure that you go to your mobile service centre and tell them to block your mobile IMEI number(16 digit written on bill /invoice) so the mobile is useless for the thief as well.
