Title: Mobile phone security
Post by: Jimble on 03 November 2013, 10:57: I'm considering a change from my current Iphone and fancy either an S4 or HTC one but an issue with none Apple devices is that they are less secure, has anyone got any experience with phone security software? Or do most people just not bother and never had a problem?

Cheers. :smiley:

If you root your phone and install Cerberus you get this and a lot more, you can send secret texts to the phone and have it take silent pics, turn on 3g etc so you can try capture the thief in action. Epicly awesome.
