Mobile phone security
« 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:

Well i have the samsung s3 and there is a feature on it to track your phone. You can call it, unlock it, lock it etc.  It also has face unlock (which works good) has connect the dots (as i call it) has sim lock and if in an emergency you have someone can call a number from your contaxts that you have save in a section called emergency.

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.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

+1 for Cerberus. If someone attempts to enter my lock password incorrectly 2/3 times It takes a picture and emails it to  me :evil: There's been many times I have caught someone in the office trying to have me on.
