That is similar to the apple's icloud activation lock. can be bypassed in a few minutes without even loosing user data. The lock data is locally stored in the device framework that is a mistake on google side. The the security should be remotely. |

nani667: Yes is possible but not for dummies. A simple cwm or twrp flash-able script is able to override the lock. also by imei change. I tried on my note 4 today it worked. |

henribj: Back up your contacts to your google account so you don't lose them when your phone is stolen. If you use a BlackBerry you can even back up your contacts and other info on the smartphone after it has been stolen. |

Adinije: It's way different. Atm card will always have a pin, how many thieves know the OS of the phone with you let alone the version? |
Re: Smartphone Thieves Will Hate This New Android 5.1 Update. by lastpage: 1:32pm On Mar 15, 2015 |
henribj: Thieves steal it and sell it to someone who knows how to format it..... for some peanuts! He formats it, install a downgrade OS and recycle phone back to market..... making some extra change on top! I hate thieves! Lastpage! BTW: How about we can develop a software which prevents access to the OS..... so you can format the phone except you log-in first? |
