Lost Phone Recovery DROID

No one like losing their phone and it can happen at the most inopportune times. However, Recover DROID allows you to get on top of the situation by making some critical and key functionality possible on your lost device through the simple use of text messages. By sending a text message to your lost device using certain 'trigger words," you can receive important information such as current battery level. You can also have the device perform a few vital functions just as shutting itself down or locking the screen so people cannot access your files.

Below is list of the various 'trigger words' and their corresponding actions. The texts to your phone, must ONLY contain ONE trigger word per text, and they must be UPPERCASE:

PHONEBATT - Device will send back a text message with the current battery level.

PHONELOCK - Device will immediately lock itself

PHONEBOOT - Device will shutdown and reboot

PHONEOFF - Device will shutdown, but will NOT REBOOOT

PHONEDIVERT - Device (phone) will FORWARD any calls to the lost phone to the secondary number you are texting from. So, if you send a text message to your lost phone from number 330.555.1234 and have 'PHONEDIVERT' in the text message, all calls to your phone will now be forwarded to 330.555.1234. Could be a lifesaver if you're waiting for that important call.....

PHONEREVERT - Device will stop call forwarding and receives call as normal

PHONERING - For example, if you think your phone is lost in the house somewhere, but it's useless to call it because you left it on SILENT, this trigger word will put your phone's ringer on level 10.

PHONELAT - Will send you LAT and LONG coordinates of your device that you can then input in Google maps. I can't guarantee this will work 100% for all android models.

PHONEALERT - This will create an 'emergency tone,' cause the phone to vibrate, cause the phone to actually speak to anyone in the immediate area, and will create a pop - up on the screen. The pop-up and the 'siri' voice states to anyone nearby that your phone is lost and to please contact you at the secondary number that you have been texting your phone from.

App runs completely in the background - you won't even know it's running.
