“My fine phone Android”type in google search

Click on Android Device Manager(It will comes in first result usually)

Enter your email address and password just as though as you are checking your email.If you have enabled 2 step verification set up on your google account.You’ll need to comlete that process as well.

When is your phone is located,you will have three options provided.

You Can Ring your phone.It will make your phone ring loudely even when it is in silent mode.This means someone have stole your phone and he have keep your mobile in silent mode then you can try this option to find.But you have to see the map properly and go near as shown on map.And when the phone rings you can locate your phone.

You can loke your phone so that the theif can’t access to your homescreen.This option can be implemented even if your phone was not previously secured with a passcode or a fingerprint sensor.

You can erase your phone in the third option.This is the best option if you think their is no possibility of getting back your phone.By the help of this option if you have some personal data or something important than you can erase it before it gets in the hand of bad person.

This is a simple way to find your device but it have only some feature which needs to be improve.This is easy to use but i think google should concentrate on improving its features.Right now we can use it if our phone is lost somewhere.And if stolen we should first reach the place shown in map and click on “Ring” to find immedialtely without performing this activity it is hard to find our phone.So you can only use this feature if you have logged in to your phone.If you havent laptop or PC when your phone is lost then you can use others phone to find it.Instead of using browser you can also use Android Device Manager App.Which is available in play store and easy interface to use.You can sign in using guest mode and your google account credientals.You can let your device to ring or also wipe its all data.If you haven’t logged to google account in your phones then immediately log in because if you lost it somewhere it will help you a lot to track it.

In case of your phone is stolen,then it is possible that the theif have also know about google tracking.And if he disconnects the device from the connected google account.Then it will be impossible to track our android phone or tablet using Android device manager or any other app.So it will totally depends upon the theif,if he disconnect your device there will almost no chance of getting your phone back.So we have to implement our next option.

2.Track you phone with the help of unique IMEI number,with the help of police and phones provider

Tracking your device with the use of unique IMEI number is very hard process but it will give you success if you call police for help.Police can cooperate with the phone using Unique IMEI number.But it is really hard to get success with this process.If you gets succes then you can track your device and also can block your phone.If you bloch he/she willnot be able to phone call or text.

You can find your IMEI number by dialling *#06# and call to find your IMEI number.By this process you can easily find your phone if you contact your phone provider or police.
