I installed avast mobile security on my phone. I went to the theft menu and tried enabling the GPS, it said that google has blocked the feature on 2.3 versions and I need to install the anti theft root. I rooted my phone now and I tried enabling it but still didnt work. Any solutions?
I know you can text: ‘PIN Locate’ to the handset thats stolen but the map isn’t really accurate (shows a map and says its somewhere within ~500 meters). So if I enable the GPS, will it locate the phone even more accurately?
I have Xperia Play on 2.3.4.
you need to uninstall anti-theft after rooting and reinstall it + check the “install rooted” checkbox in the setup.
thanks it works now. So when the phone gets stolen, can I activate the GPS remotely so it will give a more accurate point on the map? Or will it be the same as textin the locate command to your stolen phone?
hi if you installed rooted, and issue LOCATE it will automatically enable GPS if disabled.
