OP I can relate. Same thing happened to a friend around 2005. He bought this Samsung flip cute phone then camera and coloured phones were new and he/we were all crazy about the phone. Long story short he visited his friend and slept over in his one room apartment and the friend's girlfriend stole the phone, removed the battery and put the phone in her pant and slept back. My guy woke up in the dead of the night to find that his beloved phone was missing. He woke everyone up and the search of the phone began from 2am to about 4am knocking at neighbours doors who had phone to flash the number, mind u not everyone had a phone then and the then Mtel service was terrible. He resigned to fate that his phone was gone for good only for the 5am alarm to wake the phone up and it began ringing in ..... guess where, the girl's private part. No be small beating she receive afterwards

I swear same thing happened to me. My Samsung S9 was stolen after 3 weeks, I just wiped it by signing in to my Samsung cloud and also made it show this phone was stolen on the screen. I moved on later nii
You could have tracked the phone via imei na

Losing my 2 weeks old Samsung galaxy S9 taught me one lesson; Material things will pass away. After all efforts to find my phone, I just performed a remote wipe via Google and moved on. I got another one but became more careful with my smartphone. OP you're lucky

What if the battery is removed. You never jam Better thief. Infact, right away the phone is stolen, he will have it flashed manually and remove the sim.

Recent phones will demand for password if u try to flash from bootloader

It doesn't apply to all phones
I think it does.
Re: 'putting Your Phone On Alarm Can Save Your Phone If Stolen' by agarawu23(m): 7:45pm On Apr 22, 2019
You were just lucky cos the phone was stolen within your premises. What happens if it was stolen elsewhere and the battery was even removed (if it's a removable battery phone)?

Nice. You were just fortunate though. What if the theft happens after last alarm and hours before the next one? If it starts ringing after the person has since gone away, the alarm isn't going to do much.
Remember the OP said it can save your phone and not it will

Very true Op!!
Similar thing also happened to me. My junior brother took my phone when I was sleeping and started playing games with it. I got up from sleep, searched everywhere for the phone and wasn't able to find it. Exactly 6:10am the phone's alarm rang. Guess where he hid the phone? Under d chair.
That day, I gave that boy the severe beating of his life.

Tell me you're Red Pill...
Re: 'putting Your Phone On Alarm Can Save Your Phone If Stolen' by MrBen619(m): 8:22pm On Apr 22, 2019

Bro Back then in 2005 most phones had two batteries one main battery and a second tiny one the type that u find in wrist watches for alarm and phone time. That way even if the main battery is dead or removed ur alarm still rings. Hope this helps
