Hello friends, today i am going to tell you
how to track your android device
location. Android devices are playing an
important role in our life. If our device
will be lost then this means we lose our
important contacts, photos, videos and
other good memories.
I here are some solutions to track it back:
1. We can track our device using IMEI
Number
Every android phone carries a unique
IMEI number (International Mobile
Equipment Identity Number). It is
printed at the back of your device or you
can find it by dialing *#06# . This will give
you the IMEI number of your phone.
Store this number in a safe place so that
it helps you in locating your phone when
it is lost. When you file a complaint, this
number has to be added in the report.
Your service provider uses this number
to track your phone and tell you where it
is. No matter if the person using the
phone is using a different SIM card or
has switched off the phone. Once the
device is traced, you can request your
service provider to block it from using.
2. Activate missing device option in your
device’s Antivirus
If you don’t have installed any antivirus
on your device, you can download it
from Playstore. It will also protect your
phone from external threats. Once you
activate missing device option, it will
easily find your device.
Just you have to sign-in into locate your
device service of your antivirus. It will
show your device’s location on map. If
you are at a short distance from your
device, you can choose Scream option to
make a loud noise to find it.
3. Android device manager
It also helps you to locate your lost
device location. Here’s how to use
Android Device Manager.
Go to the Google Settings app and then
select Android device manager. By
default the locator feature is activated
but to activate remove data wipe, select
the box next to “Allow remote factory
reset”, then select “activate”.
To use this feature, open Android Device
manager and sign in to your Google
account. You may be prompted for
permission to allow Android Device
Manager to use location data. Select the
Accept tab to continue. Now you will be
provided with a map that shows the
location of your device along with other
details such as the name of the place,
when it was last used and more. The
location data doesn’t help you if your
phone is misplaced somewhere in your
home. Instead of making a call to your
phone using other’s phone, you can call
your phone directly from Android Device
Manager. This will make your device to
ring with high volume for 5 minutes,
even if it’s in silent or vibrate mode. One
feature that is missing in Android Device
Manager is remote locking, which can be
useful in preventing a stranger from
accessing your data, while you’re
tracking its location.
