disable your lost or stolen Mobile phone

Dear Friends

Many of today's most popular smartphones can be erased from afar if they're misplaced or fall into the wrong hands. Here's how to do it.

Our phones are valuable, but they're easily replaced. The data on them, however, is often much more important. Cell phones carry all kinds of personal and business information these days, so preventing them from getting in the wrong hands is key.

While a stray personal address book won't matter much to an unsavory type who finds a lost iPhone—they'd much rather just sell the phone—cached online banking passwords, corporate documents, and VPN access are better off kept secure. That's why many of today's smartphones support a mobile kill switch, also called "remote wipe" capability. Remote wipe lets you or an IT employee remotely erase the handheld's data in case it's lost or stolen.

All of the major smartphone platforms have some kind of remote erase capability. There are several ways of doing it, such as installing apps on the handset, using a management console on the IT side, or signing up for a cloud-based service. Here's a rundown of what's out there for each platform. No matter which smartphone OS you or your employees use, you're bound to find something that can help put your mind at ease.

The good news is that the same features that enable the remote disable can also just be used to find the phone. Most of today's smartphones have some form of GPS capability. That means you can use the same tools just to find or locate the lost phone in the first place—and potentially, depending on who has it, or where it's found, get it back.

Which brings us to our last point: Though it varies by platform, the remote wipe solutions listed below—or any for that matter—aren't fail-safe. If someone finds the phone before the remote wipe occurs—which could happen if the battery dies, or there's no signal to receive the command—a thief or corporate spy could disable the network connections and then hack away. Your best insurance, therefore, is to disable the handset as quickly as possible, the same way you would call your credit card company the moment you noticed a credit card was missing.

Apple iPhone
Thanks to iCloud, you can now locate and remotely erase any iPhone. While you still have the device, head to Settings > iCloud and turn on Find My iPhone if it isn't already enabled. If you lose your phone, you can find it either by installing the free Find My iPhone app on another iOS device, or by visiting icloud.com, signing in, and using Apple's Web-based Find My iPhone app. With either tool, you can remotely lock the phone with a passcode if you haven't already, send a message to it, play a sound, or remotely wipe the phone.

Google Android
Android Lost adds remote find and wipe capability, and also lets you set a password and lock the SIM card slot. You can even sound an alarm when the phone is on silent—perfect for finding it when it's buried in the couch cushions. We're particularly fond of Android Lost because you can push the app to the phone from Google Play (formerly the Android Market) remotely. In a corporate setting, IT managers deploying Android devices can enable native remote wipe capability by installing Google Apps Device Policy, though it can't be added retroactively.

Microsoft Windows Phone
For any Windows Phone 7 or 7.5 device, head to www.windowsphone.com on a desktop or laptop PC and sign in. Then click My Phone. From here, you can locate the phone with GPS, erase all the data, lock the phone and display a message, or change your password. Microsoft also lets you set the phone itself to save its location every few hours; this helps if you lose the phone later and the battery dies, since it will have reported its last known location. To do so, head to Start > App List > Settings and tap Find My Phone.

RIM BlackBerry OS
Research In Motion offers BlackBerry Protect, a free app that lets you find, lock, or wipe your BlackBerry from a remote location. It also adds daily, weekly, and monthly backup capability for your data. Any BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) handset can be erased remotely via the Erase Data and Disable Handheld IT administration command over the wireless network. IT admins can also specify if the handset should revert to factory default settings or retain the IT policy it had before.

Dual Screen Mobile Phone

Hello Friends

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian modem developer Yota Devices has launched its first smartphone, hoping its novel double-sided screen will allow it to break into foreign markets although analysts doubt it will gain a sizeable share from established rivals.

Yota has been developing the phone since 2010. On Wednesday, it was presented to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a lover of modern gadgets, who suggested the novelty had made iPhone maker Apple "strain", Russian news agencies reported.

Dual screen phone coming in December

Oil-rich Russia is a major market for foreign handset makers such as Apple and Samsung Electronics, but it has so far not been successful in designing handsets.

Moscow-based Yota Devices plans to sell the phone in 20 countries next year after making its 2013 debut in Russia, Austria, France, Germany and Spain, Chief Executive Vlad Martynov told Reuters.

"If we really hit the mark, we'll be happy because in two to three years everyone will be copying us," he said, referring to the success of Apple's iPhones since their launch in 2007. He has no plans now to launch in the competitive U.S. market.

Analysts however were sceptical, predicting Yota will struggle to emulate the success of the iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy smartphone.

"In people's minds Yota Devices is a no-name company, it's not Samsung or Nokia or Apple, which all have their fans. No one will be expecting a YotaPhone," said Denis Kuskov, analyst at research firm TelecomDaily.

"At best, the sales will be limited to several tens of thousands in 2014. The company is focused on developing one model and big production costs clearly won't be covered."

The phone, based on Google's Android mobile operating system, will be available for 19,990 roubles in Russian stores against a price of around 29,000 roubles for Apple's iPhone 5c with the same memory.

In Europe and the United Arab Emirates the YotaPhone will be available for 499 euros and $600 respectively. The company has teamed up with distributors Ingram Micro Inc and Brodos for international sales, it said.

NEW NAME

Assembled in China from components made in Japan and Taiwan, the YotaPhone features a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) screen on one side and, on the other, an electronic paper display designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper, which is always switched on.

"It's a new type of gadget. With smartphones it's always one problem - its display is always black, it always sleeps, which we think is fundamentally wrong," Martynov said in an interview, pointing at the smartphone's front screen.

The LCD screen is used for calls and other traditional functions, while the electronic paper screen can stream social media, text messages, maps, weather and breaking news and also works as an e-book.

Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner, said she expected small sales volumes for now but did not rule out that the technology would be picked up by other handset makers.

"Yota certainly has a new approach to smartphones and they not only are trying to look different but to solve an issue many consumers have when it comes to managing battery life and constant notifications," said Milanesi.

"The big question will be how much consumers are prepared to pay for that different approach and how much they will bet on a new name."

Yota has received about 10,000 pre-orders via its online store, mostly from Russia, Martynov said. He declined to predict sales but said the company hoped that approaching New Year and Christmas holidays would help.

Sales of smartphones in Russia exceeded sales of mobile phones for the first time in November, Russia's top phone retailer Euroset said last week. In monetary terms, smartphones accounted for 85 percent of the market, it added.

Yota Devices, majority owned by Russian investment fund Wooden Fish, was spun off from wireless internet provider Yota, also known as Scartel, in 2011, ahead of a deal that saw Russia's No. 2 mobile operator Megafon buy Scartel for $1.2 billion.
