Tracking lost cell in AndroidWell,it happens with all of us, our cell phones may get stolen or lost at some point of time.What if it hapens now with your Android cell phone or tablet ? I have got a solution for all of us Android users,not so sure about the working but worth a try.

You all may be knowing that Android allows us to install applications (Send application installs to  mobile) via PC  when we are signed into the android market i.e logging into market.android.com via PC. Now suppose your cell phone gets lost, just navigate to this page
( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en ) and install it to the cell which is lost.

 

1.This app installs Plan B to the phone that you are trying to find from the Android Market website: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb.
2. Plan B will start automatically and send your phone’s location to your Gmail address.
3. To locate again after 10 minutes, borrow a friend’s phone and text the word “locate” to your lost phone.

 

Install it and you will get to see the location of your current cell .Hopefully, you get the cell too.For complete instructions read the notes given on app page in market link given above.
