So now I have 3 possible solutions.
1. Where's My Droid
2. Life 360 GPS tracker
3. Plan B
4. Avast (trying now but see it as the solution)
All for free
Cerberus may be worth a look even though it costs moola. This has a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. You can manage five phone from one account. Cerberus is so feature rich and so cheap that I'm going to grab it. The only reason I would not is to avoid having more junk running on the phone.
So $3.99 and explain to me how the miserable Euro is worth more than the dollar. Maybe I will let politics stand in the way of my purchase? No - I'm bigger than that so let's extend our magnanimous hand of friendship (filled with an extra dollar) across the sea and do business.
Lookout is another option. I got sick of it scanning everything and full feature is monthly fees.
SeekDroid Lite appears similar to Cerberus.
SeekDroid for $4.99 lifetime
Avast has a mobile security app for free that is popular. Can we turn off the anitvirus? Installing as we speak. Open interface by call Avast PIN. When you confirm the email it looks like you need to invite friends. Simply access the site another way to avoid. You can turn off all the anti-virus scanning (which I did) but it is a pain in the butt. Only took a minute.
Yep, that's me.
AirDroid v2 is an interesting possibility but not for locating. It failed to locate. But to get things on or off your phone it is slick.
