My LGE Nexus 4 Just Got Stolen This Morning by ajetunde: 9:17am On Jan 28, 2013
I preordered the phone first week of December and had to wait for a month and two weeks to get this new pet. The device is first class and the android experience is flawless just as it was reviewed. Fast forward to today . I had left home earlier to see if I could reduce time spent in traffic, (I didn't have to get to work early, I just don't like wasting time in traffic). I got to CMS bus stop (going to Karimu Kotun around Eko Hotels) and traffic was WORSE (lesson learnt) while hustling trying to get a bus, I got robbed of my LGE Nexus 4 a phone I've only used for 2 weeks (hard lesson). I still can't believe someone inserted his hand into my pocket, pulled out a 68.7mm by 133.9mm phone weighing 139g. Was I sleeping!!!

Anyway, first precaution was to change my Google Account PW then I googled how to tracked down this phone.

I've installed series of apps remotely (too bad the phone is turned off and I'm not subscribed to data) hoping the phone goes on and online, app installs and I start getting tracking info. I know I have less than 10% chance of finding this phone, but I'll try. If I do, I'll post an update.

Now my jealous blackberry curve 6 is back to being number 1.

Just sharing my experience. Eko o ni baje o.

I installed it on my phone through app store. The phone downloads it as soon as it finds a network just like installing updates.

May yet probably work if it finds a wifi connection. On my Samsung android, there's a find my mobile feature called 'SamsungDive' that allows you track, remote wipe, lock and all. However, I think it may not be the best option as a factory reset may render it useless. Cerebus is the other best option; able to survive a factory reset and much more features.
