Thanks

Has anyone tried it?

Is it for reak

It should work, it's just like pressing power off. The app should be able to read and extract text messages from your phone inbox i.e permissions.(which is risky if the app has malwares.). Then execute the command which in this case is power off. (This must need root access). ..

Too late to fail. Amen

Hm nice one!

How I wish it works on stolen phones.

What I know that you don't is my edge over you. chai

this is for rooted device....the best and trusted way to turn off your Android phone is through device manager... just turn on your device manager and connect it to your gmail account... that way you can easily turn off your phone with any device even if you are not with your phone by just logging in to your Google account at find my phone. or you can use avast antivirus... but I have not tested the avast antivirus own yet... will try and get back to you guys...

Hahaha.

It would have been good to have but everyone knows how to hard reset most droid devices. I have noticed that mobile anti-theft services provided by the OEM's are fairly reliable.
