Google has announced new Android Device Manager which will help users locate their misplaced or lost devices. The app will be available later this month.



There are many such apps available in the Play Store, but this will be better if it becomes integrated in the Android operating system.

Features -

  • Locate and ring your misplaced device

If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even if it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.


  • Protecting your personal information and data

While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can’t be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.​

I just checked out cerebrus and what all it does is quite fantastic. I was never really convinced of such apps but this has got me thinking. Do you have the paid app or is the free version good to go for most people.

I got mine as part of a free promo. Unfortunately, it does not work on dual sim phones.[DOUBLEPOST=1375733444][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think I got the prompt for the same, not sure though. Anyways, till they get the web interface running, its not of much value.
