Track a Lost Phone.. App?

[legaleye3000]

I once had an app months ago and I forgot what the name of it was. It was able to track a lost phone, remote wipe, etc...

Anyone know? Thanks

You may be thinking of Where's my Android app.. http://www.androidtapp.com/wheres-my-android/

No- it wasn't any of those. This app had its own website with a login. It was polished. Looked good and had a lot of features.

Aha, "track a mobile phone, remote wipe" ... sounds like MobileMe

[legaleye3000]

I know. It was pretty similar in terms of finding the phone

Okay - you got me intrigued so I did some Google'ing ....

SMobile Security Shield for Android is the first antivirus and security suite available to protect Google's revolutionary new mobile device operating system. The remote wipe and GPS locate functions enable the user to easily locate a lost or stolen device and if necessary, issue a wipe command to remove personal and SD Card data.

Its not a free app ... $19.99 per year ...!!

I think that's it! Yea, I used it while in beta and it was free. Sucks they now charge... What's the cloesest thing to this that's free or under $5 as a one time fee?

I couldn't find anything else in Google that quite fit the bill in a single package. But I reckon that you could use a suite of Wheres My Droid and one of a number of Remote Wipe (by SMS) to achieve the same thing.

The thing is, all of these kind of solutions are useless if the "perp" changes the SIM. Even MobileMe is neutered by this. What is really required is something that can track by IMEI regardless of what SIM is in the handset. But that would take a huge collaboration by the mobile network operators themselves.

Perhaps you were thinking of Mobile Defense? The only hitch is that the program is not available for CDMA (Verizon) until it comes out of closed beta testing.
