McAfee did a great job but then it's obvious that it ain't integrated into the firmware as the OP thought.

I discover that most people don't utilise the security features on their Android smartphones, and no am not referring to just screen lock or pattern lock. In your phone settings, under security/privacy theirs an option called device administrator. Make sure the "Android device manager" is set active. That way you have a core, inbuilt security that can be activated straight from your Google account thru a PC.

I use a Xiaomi phone with firmware integrated security similar to Apple's cloud. If you like flash the phone a million times, you can't access the phone until you've input my mi account details coz the device is tired to my account.

If people are more aware of the security capabilities of their devices, theft will be greatly discouraged.
Thank you sir. How do I get notifications after following these instructions. Can I also install McAfee security to it

About 3 months ago I lost my LG G3 in traffic. I was driving and I didn't find up, a guy was hitting my car hard and as I tried to look at him to find out what the problem was his partner put his hand in my car from the other side and took my lg g3. I had both the g3 and galaxy s6 in my car, luckily he was only able to take the g3. I called him that same night , offered to give him 20k to return the phone and he said he would all back. He didn't call, I still called him when I got home, he answered and we had a deal that he drops the phone somewhere and I I'll one there to pick it and pay him 20k. Cut long story short the deal never happened as he turned off the phone.

I wiped off the phone remotely as I had McAfee security on my phone. 3 months later McAfee just informed me that someone tried to unlock my phone. Wtf.m does that mean they haven't sold this phone since 3 months and they haven't managed to flash it? The phone is currently in Kodesho street which is in computer village Ikeja. This is the picture of the technician trying to unlock the phone. Unknown to him my phone will keep taking pictures of anyone that tries to unlock it.
guy pls tell me how you did your phone lile that, I think I need something like this

Re: This Guy Stole My LG G3 by kesses: 4:10pm On Feb 01, 2017
i will like to install it too
dominique:
I don't believe that's the person that snatched your phone but the person that is trying to get access to it. Still, that doesn't make him any less a thief, hope he gets apprehended.

I'd like to install this feature on my devices, can someone shed more light on it?
Re: This Guy Stole My LG G3 by kesses: 4:11pm On Feb 01, 2017
huh huh
chachanga:
Probably works like CleanMaster & other such Apps. You may keep accessing the phone prolly becos it binds with the firmware. I wouldn't have had any questions if it were it Blackberry product. Make hin com explain beta.

Na dis ur packaging make Falz to dey stammer in dat MTN advert grin grin
Re: This Guy Stole My LG G3 by kesses: 4:12pm On Feb 01, 2017
oh thats good
DEAFandDUMB:
Bros leave matter for Mathias oooo..

As you see me so, you done see me finish.. I only hear reasonable and right thinking words here and any other words less than that goes to my deaf and dumb identity..


Now back to the matter..

I've understood how the process works, even my Avast does same thing too when I link devices to my account..I can remotely operate the device from my system.

ogbeni are you indirectly telling the thieves what to do in a case like this
mu2sa2:
The camera lens can be blocked rendering the security useless. This guy is a learner otherwise he would have done that.Even locating the phone by gps can be of no consequence in nigeria since the police may not be helpful in recovering it unless you are a "big man". Again, pray that your phone has not been dismantled in readiness to selling the parts piecemeal. Op just take it that your phone is gone for good - well, you may be lucky sha.
