anyway have set up Samsung dive on web and all different settings on phone very very useful tool to know of and over time and phones these will improve i'm sure.
shame they don't develop it to using face camera to take pictures using before and after using phone using motion sensing and burst shots and send photos automatically to police would be nice helpful add on for the police i'm sure would make there job easier.

and yes they should make a sticky guide for all of this you got my vote.

many thanks

You might want to try this app if you want more functionality then Samaung dive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlost&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkbG9zdCJd

It can do all sorts, like display a system message on the screen like "low battery" and it will take a picture with the front faceing camera and send it to your gmail account. Even if they turn off gps, wifi and mobile data, then swap the sim card, you can send your phone a text message that will turn it all back on.

What an amazing App, thanks for letting us know.

The recording of voice and taking a pic is unreal and can be controlled via sms even when data and wifi are off. Unreal :T

Brilliant thread guys. Glad I started it now, 6000 views is amazing.

I think this should be made a sticky and re-named helpful tips for Lost/Stolen Android phones. I'm delighted this has been able to help so many of you with your phones. Totally overwhelmed

I have also posted my story with tips to MSE news.

cool cheers for that didn't know that app even existed very cool app after watching video just about to go install best bit is can install and then hide it so no one even knows it is there so they find more diffcult to uninstall it if they can find!
