Let me introduce you to the best feature of the Android device manager tracker, which will surely make you laugh at the end of the day because it solves the most trivial problem – losing or forgetting where you last kept your phone.
Google’s Android Manager lets you ring your phone on a maximum volume even if you have kept it silent. And when you have forgotten your phone at a place you had last visited, do not worry. Google efficiently allows you to locate it on the map to ensure the device can be quickly recovered. The App Manager also enables you to lock your phone, ensuring your data’s safety if lost. You can activate or change the lock even after losing your phone. Thus the Android Manager provides the complete security of your device even if it reaches the wrong hands.
Wipe Out!
Anybody who has lost his cellphone umpteen times will know the pain of losing the stored data every time and re-creating it from scratch. And OH! The fear of having your data used against you is scarier. This scare can be permanently removed using the Android Device Manager Tracker. The ADM allows you to wipe out (erase your data) entirely in case of no hope of retrieving your phone.
Return My Phone!
The latest boon added to the Android Device Manager Tracker is the ability to add a number on your phone, which ensures that the person who has found your misplaced phone can reach you. As soon as the person switches on your phone, a message prompted by the device manager will flash your message with your contact number.
How to Use the Android Device Manager Tracker?
- Open your favorite browser page and type in the following address google.com/android/devicemanager.

You need to turn on your location services if it is not automatic. The automatic switch-on way is available in Nexus handsets.
- You can check both the current location of your handset and where it was last used. Switching to another device is straightforward and can be selected by clicking on the device’s name from the drop-down menu. The switching device option makes it easy for you to keep track of all your Android devices from one place. When you select your new device, the map will enable you immediately to track it. Renaming the device is easy and can be done by clicking the pencil button.

- To use the Lock & Erase feature, you must select its icon. Upon its selection, a dialog box will send a notification to your device about the activation of this feature. This is a necessary step and needs to be followed religiously.

Until and unless you are not sure about the recovery of your phone under any circumstances, you should avoid using it. The erase option functions like the factory reset mode and erases all the data on your phone to secure you from data theft trouble.
- It erases data stored in your music, photos, video, and other folders. You cannot retrieve this deletion at any cost; it is permanent.

If you click on the erase button when your phone is switched off, the command will be executed as soon as you switch on your device.
