There's an app called SeekDroid.

The only problem with that is that the gps icon comes on, so they'll know something's up.

Seems like this is a little shady... but i will assume the best and by that I mean that it is your phone and it is stolen. Not that it is somebody else's phone and all you have is their phone number.


You can use Android lost. Now if location services are off you will not be able to find the device without turning them on. The app will for most phones be able to momentarily turn the gps on query location and email it back to you. Now since the phone is connected to the email account the message would come up in your notification... but google allows you to apply filters to your email. Thus, you can filter emails from Android Lost to go directly to a folder you specify skipping the inbox and thus not showing up as a notification on the phone.

you can also query the phone via text message it will send back a link where you can see the GPS location embedded.

I need to control gf phone just bought it for her now we split and she wont give it back and i cant find her that app only lets u track a.phone it was installed on right

hmmmm... I do not know about this. Well if it is your Gmail account then you can go to the android market and push plan b. If it is not tied to your gmail account, well you are out of luck.

I let her set up her own g mail

 

[jbwiden]

It is a loss... What you want cannot be done and I am glad for that.

Cut your losses and have the phone shut off.

+1

it will be alot less of a headache on your part and you pretty much avoid any confrontation with your ex. You bought the phone for her and you have the right to cut the service, maybe then she'll return it....

By your statement 'just bought it for her' implies you bought the phone for her. That means it's hers and she's under no obligation to give it back. So technically, if you set up something to locate her, then that is against the law as I'm sure it would fall under harrassment or stalking... I know how you feel. It sucks to give nice gifts to people so they can turn around and keep them and not still be with you but that's part of the risk of relationships... You are probably NOT obligated to continue with a service plan so Id cut my losses and pay the early cancellation penalty and shut it off. Otherwise you might get stuck with huge phone bills that could ruin your credit if you decide not to pay them... Good luck.

I don't know that that is true. If it is under his name (acct) he is responsible for it.
