All the Android Smartphones come with Google play installed in it.When you use Google Play for first time on any device (Smartphone/tablet),Google installs Android device Manager unknowingly.

Requirements for it are:-

  • An Android Device with active Data connection.
  • A PC/laptop with net.

HOW TO START ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER ON YOUR DEVICE
follow these steps to activate :-

  • Go to settings>>Security>>Device Administrator
  • you’ll see apps there and probably first one is Android Device Manager 
  • Tap on it and Activate it.
Now once you have activated it ,now grab you net enabled PC/laptop.
  • Log in in using the same Google id as of Play Store in Device.
  • You will see a Gear icon On the top Right Corner.
  • Click on it and you will see Android Device Manager.

  • Once it is opened in your web browser ,it will automatically contact your device.The map of your country will be displayed on your web browser.
  • Once Android Device Manager has located your smartphone you will see its location on Google maps  and the distance it is away from you.
Now you’ll have three options there:-
  1.  The Ring Device:- this feature will ring your device at full volume for 5 minutes even it is silent . Unfortunately it will not if it is switched off.
  2. Lock you Device :- This feature will lock your device and will be provided with a new password to access it.you can set your desired password too.
  3.

    Hi there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re utilizing?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this
    blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good
    web hosting provider at a honest price? Kudos, I appreciate
    it!
