Lost iPhone or Android? New Google tool allows … – Tudocelular.com

Out **** out formatting. I have to remember to use the forum to post pasted text. And the worst is that I can not edit the message here at work. I’ll repost the message. A moderator can delete the previous? ****

Have a topic on AndroidPIT dealing Android security. I rescued my message there

“As absurd as it may appear, the suggestion protection and tracking device is the most useless because of the way it is implemented through the combination of three requirements:.

1. it is necessary that the device is turned on.

 2. It is necessary that the device is connected to the Internet.

 3. It is necessary that the location service is enabled.

The three are flawed, but the requirement # 3 is the most reliable in my opinion. ^^

The requirement # 1 is flawed because in case of theft or robbery just that the unit is turned off by the thief and ready. A feature that could be implemented is the adoption of a shutdown lock password, ensuring that the appliance is not turned off? Accidentally ?, allowing the screening process. Unfortunately this feature is not the removable battery test, or with very low charge.

In the case of paragraph 2 requirement I believe he could be perfectly disposable. We just need Internet access to the screening and blocking procedures. The rest should be the responsibility of the location service, but has paranoid people who prefer to disable the phone’s GPS (which goes against the requirement 2). There’s no use outside that we turn to the case of requirement # 1, where the GPS service does not work with the device switched off. And another: devices like the Moto X Play offers access to the SIM card by the device side. If the bad guy has a little bit of knowledge and a pin (in the case of Moto X Play) he starts the SIM Card and goodbye internet connection.

This is where I suggest to hardware developers include a setting that allows a second GPS is activated automatically when off, with permission of the user. And so the appeal is failsafe in the removable battery or battery this second GPS would be powered by a small rechargeable battery, which would be recharged by the main battery, and its energy drained only when the second GPS was activated. “

I think technically possible.
