Remote Wipe Android Smartphone When Lost or Stolen

Android device means that you will be resetting it to its default factory setting thus erasing any data that you may have stored in the device and even on the attached microSD. This procedure is usually only possible if the device has an active data connection since you will be sending out a signal to it. The common way to do it is by accessing the remote wipe control panel from any browser, then send out the command.
Some mobile manufacturers are integrating the remote wipe feature in their Android devices. Sony for example has announced that they will be rolling out their “my Xperia service” which provides remote management to 2012 and 2013 Xperia devices. It gives owners the ability to remotely wipe the data on their device and even track its location if ever it is lost or stolen.
For Android devices that don’t have any remote wipe feature, owners can easily install an app that provides this functionality. Listed below are the top choices that are used on Android devices.
3CX Mobile Device Manager
Highly recommended application to manage your Android smartphone. This app was developed to serve the corporate setting, so if the design is good enough for a fortune 500 company, then it should make you feel at ease to use on your personal phone. The best part about this device is that since 3Cx is targeting the larger clients, they are willing to give away first five licenses for free per account.
Highlights for the Mobile Device Manager include:
 Ability to find and track your phone
 remote wipe Android (or iPhone)
 Block suspicious apps
 Monitor your device usage
If you are interested in a complete device manager, check out the app for free for up to five devices.
