I lost my phone but it has my email address in it can I trace it?
Hi, Android devices have a feature called "Device Manager" which is able to locate a lost phone which is registered. When you first set up your device you would have had to give Android your Google email address. In order to find a lost device it will need to be powered on and have Location Services turned on.When Location Services is switched on you will have the option to set "High Accuracy - uses GPS and wifi/mobile networks" - "Power Saving - uses just WiFi and mobile network" - "GPS only uses the GPS network" Depending on the settings defined on your device will impact how successful you are in retrieving the lost device. If the device is switched off or unable to communicate with the device manager service you will not be able to identify it's current position, though you may still be able to get its last known position. To find your device. Open https://www.google.co.uk/android...Once you have logged in to your Android Account you will have the option to Locate your device - Ring your device - Lock your device - Erase your devices memory. As you can see from the screen shot above I have full location services switched on always. The location manager has located my device to within 20 meters (it's actually spot on). As I said if it's switched off or unable to send/receive data you will struggle to find it. In the future you should ensure that location services are switched on (preferably high accuracy) and always try to keep your device as fully charged as possible. Good luck Peace ✌

How do I locate my phone if it is turned off?
Firstly, the telecom companies that uses the IVR service (a lady that tells you the phone is switched off) has a bug at most times.If the sim card number you are trying to reach is NOT in the phone the IVR should say that the number is unreachable. And if the sim card is present in the phone but the phone is switched off only then it should say that it is switched off.The bug, at most times, tells you that the number is switched off even when the sim card is not in the phone..So to answer your question, the mobile phone can only be located when the sim card is in the phone.And unless you have a professional tracking software, you need the police and their tracking service to do that. Apart from iPhone though which has the ‘Find my Phone’ service which can be used by using any other iPhone to find your missing one.In case you have your phone with you :

How do I block lost mobile phone?
Hi, thanks for A2A. There is possibility of lock or disable your mobile if it is lost. So don't worry.Method 1: The IMEI number is on the box the phone came in if you still have it and the best way to lock it and make it unusable is to call your carrier and tell them it was stolen once you do this it will be deactivated and if the person who stole it tries to activate it at the store they will know its stolen and then it will be returned to you. Also if the phone is stolen and it is an android powered phone. Log into your gmail account on a Pc and go to the play store from the play store download the app Plan B to your phone from lookout. The app will silently install to your phone turn on gps signal and then will email you the exact coordinates of the device to your email from there you can call the police and tell them where it is and they can go and get it for you. Go to that link if its android powered and read the apps description and follow the steps this will only work if the phone is on and is currently connected to a network.If the phone is not android powered contact your carrier and report it lost or stolen so you dont get charged with unexpected charges. Method 2:1. Don't change your Google account password yet. Most remote disabling methods require your phone to be linked to your Google account. If you change your Google account password due to security risks, you will have much less control over your device remotely.Changing the password after the phone is disabled is a good idea, since the thief could have access to your account.2.Use Android Device Manager. Visit google.com/android/devicemanager and log in to your Google account to access these settings. Any Android device that has been linked to your Google account should be listed, as long as it has been updated since August 2013.Any visible device that is turned on and has location tracking enabled should be marked on the map.Select "Lock," "Disable," or "Erase all Data" if they are available. These will only work if they were enabled in advance, using Settings → Security → Device Administrators → Android Device Manager.Source:http:1.//www.wikihow.com/Disable-a-Stolen-Mobile-Phone, How to track and block a stolen Android phone |Also please check out this site : Remotely ring, lock, or erase a lost deviceHope it helps!
Is there a way to view my SMS while the phone is off?
As the mobile network consider there is not a way like we have for calls ( call forwarding when not reachable/switch off). A sms is stored at smsc till the validity time. After that its removed from smsc. Although there can be a way at network level , if there is an access to SS7/Sigtran level. And app can be developed which can register it self as its a real device. When an sms is send from smsc to the device , this app will receive sms and log the text and other information.For more Circuit Switching | Packet Switching | circuit switching vs packet switching - CS PS Protocols

How do I view all my photos from emails with the new Yahoo Mail?
Unfortunately, the option is no longer available in the new version. I finally contacted a yahoo rep and was advised they removed this option....no good explanation given....The only way you can bring them up now is to find the email that contains the photo. This means you have to check your inbox....sent folder or any other place you may have saved them. You can also use MAIL SEARCH on your email page and enter something that relates to that email...IE: senders email address or subject matter ...to bring up that email. You can also enter PHOTOS and/or ATTACHMENTS in this search box, which brings up many, if not all, of your emails that has attachments/photos. I loved that option, but apparently Yahoo does not...=)) This is how to go back to Classic ... if you want to.. Go to , http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ym... and click on "click here" that follows "However, if you do not want to upgrade".
