App to track Droid Razr if stolen?

[Malvado]

Yes I provided them with my seekdroid account info and images of its location. They said that was enough for them to go with me to the place where it was at. And since the cops tagged along, the guy had no choice but to give it back.

Yea the guy tried saying he found and tried contacting me, which he didn't because he turned the phone off after I kept calling every 5 minutes for it. He apologized and gave it back. I bet he was embarrased/scared lol.

The cops didn't arrest him?

The thief probably didn't have the phone long enough to give the DA a solid case and the police knew that. Any decent defense lawyer would argue that the thief was in process of trying to return the phone when the police arrived. Now if the guy had the phone for a couple of days and was using it (Seek Droid would show the call history), the cops would've arrested him.

Eidian is right. The cops were just there for backup. I showed the guy the seekdroid map printouts of the location of my phone.

So, which app did you decide on durell? Did you find one for free?

[vatothe0]

I use Wavesecure. I got a free lifetime account for signing up when it was brand new and not owned by McAfee. I've never had to use it but it's tested out just fine.

Just tested again while the phone is 20 feet from a window and it put the phone in my neighbor's apartment instead of mine.

For the time being you can also get Norton AntiTheft for free.

It allows you track the phone, lock, unlock, wipe from a web browser. You can also send a message to the phone for whoever has it to see.

If you login to the web it will show you a map on your phone's location at 15 minute intervals for the last x days.

You can also take a picture using the phones camera and have it displayed in web browser.

If you are near the "lost" phone and can't find it , you can send a message to the phone to play the "siren" sound and that can help to pinpoint the exact location.

If you enable the SMS feature you register what is called a buddy phone. You can send txt messages to your phone from the buddy phone that contain a command and a PIN. These txt messages can be used to lock, unlock the phone.

Now to the official disclaimer, I am a Symantec employee and work with the Norton guys so of course I am going to push my companies stuff.
