FindDroid

FindDroid aims at minimizing the damages stemming from stolen or lost mobile devices, from remote controlling to the repossession of the device. Mobile phones have become something much more than mere devices: they know everything about us and they can therefore expose us to great danger, should they fall into the wrong hands; not to mention financial losses. It is in the interest of every one of us to make certain steps in preparation for such an unfortunate event.

FindDroid offers its services for exactly such situations, and, the issue being practically in the public interest, it does this for FREE whatsoever!

Security services:
• remote control through text messages
• SIM protection: the device sends text to a given phone number, if the SIM card is changed and activates all protective functions

Remote control possibilities:
• defining location based on GPS coordinates
• audible alarm notification – even in silent mode
• code-locking of the device
• in case of a wrong passcode being entered to unlock the device, FindDroid takes a picture using the front camera and sends it to a predefined e-mail address, enabling the identification of the thief

Other functions:
• hide from the list of applications – FindDroid can be launched using a pre-set phone number, with the call not showing in the call log
• password protection against unauthorised modifications
• protection against removing the application – it can only be deleted after entering the password
• hiding the activation message from incoming texts

The application enables GPS, mobile data and Wi-Fi connections automatically if they are deactivated, and it tries to define the location of the device. In case of being lost, it helps in finding the device by audible alarm notifications and using GPS coordinates, whereas all protective functions are activated in case of theft. FindDroid does not drain battery since it only launches when the activation message is received, therefore battery life is preserved.
