[Q] legit non market app to computer source?

Ok, so I'm looking for a place I can download apps where I don't have to worry about fakes or viruses or other malware where I can select the app I want and download it to my computer from my web browser. I don't want to waste my data usage getting an app, not liking it, then uninstalling it.

Is there an app that will allow you to locate your phone from your computer?

Is there an app that will allow you to locate your phone from your computer if its lost? Just wanna install all these things on my phone right now for precautions so I never lose it or if i do I can find it
PS: Not only an app that allows you to locate your phone but an app that also lets you wipe memory or lock the phone from your computer if you don't want people going through your personal files? (Free App or one time buy please, I'm not trying to pay monthly.)

I've heard cerebus to be really useful with a lot of cool tools (it's a one time paid app though)
Here's the link for it

I'm a cerberus user and I really like this app. After install app on your phone, log on cerberus website and manage your terminal as you like it. You can shoot a picture just to see who take your phone. Track with GPS your position. Delete everything inside the microsd or other memory. Basically is an anti theft app. If someone wrong for 3 times your unlock code cerberus shoot a picture with front camera if available and send it to your email..... Amazing....

search lbe in google play. free

Theres app called find my phone or something like it. You install it from your computer to your phone and it will locate it for you.

Samsung Galaxy has this feature built in

App
If you have apple device then with the use of FindMyPhone app you can search your iPhone, iPad location.

I use Cerberus as well. Another feature not mentioned is that not only can you see where your phone is, you can download the history of its location.

Avast has a free app that will wipe the phone, but not track it.

AVG and Kaspersky Mobile Security have a track option, GotYa! also works fairly well. (And has some nice anti-theft features, such as remotely bricking your device.)
Keep in mind that they work better on a device with 3G than without. Tracking my WiFi-only tablet (without WiFi on) only resulted in an area the size of the entire neighbourhood (3km²).
Kaspersky did an excellent job of tracking down my friend's phone to within half a meter when he got lost in Prague, though.

airdroid has those feature that you said

Through FindMyiPhone you can find your phone.

Find my droid is a good one

My lookout
you should definitely check out my lookout.

You can use Google Maps with Latutide. It work well :good:

AVG seems to be very good.
But no software will find your phone once it's turned off!

I like Cerberus....

With TrustGo you can do it.
It is an antivirus solution that can do all things you said. Even has an option to avoid that someone could uninstall the app without a password. It is light and has a data usage manager

Android adware?

So I see a ton of cool looking free games in the play store, and am interested in mass downloading a bunch of them. However I know nothing comes without a price, and dont want to run the risk of infecting my cellphone with whatever crap is out there. If you uninstall an app that manages to spam your notification bar or place shortcuts on your homescreen, are you effectively clean? Does uninstalling the offending app basically rid you of its presence? Or is it like a PC and it can side-load all sorts of crap and you'll never be able to fix your phone without reflashing? Also, whats the risk with apps accessing things like email and your phone number? Do I have to worry about some freeware game sending spam to my gmail inbox? Or sending emails on my behalf? Or worse yet, getting my cellphone number and texting me or others? Are any of these things even possibilities, at least from apps on the play store with high ratings?

Before uninstall I recommend clearing any app data and force stop through settings. After uninstalling you can use Clean Master and/or SD Maid to clean up and remnant files and folders. As for privacy, you can use XPrivacy to restrict app access to anything and everything.

If you are still worried, you can run android emulators on your PC in an enclosed virtual machine before install on your device.

I use clean master from ks apps. Nothing can clean leftovers better than you.
You download something, app uninstall does the download disappear? Neither commonly used references like flash.
You are tge best judge when it comes to cleaning.
Privacy tools tries to disconnect wifi 3g etc which again you can do manually. Run your apps in flight mode.
Use firewall to control to fro traffic.
Pressing THANKS easier than typing.

When you lost you phone , how to find it back even you do not install Find My Phone ?

When you lost a phone , how to find it back even you do not install Find My Phone ?
When you lost a phone , If you have installed Find My Phone application and activate it, it will be OK to locate, lock or even wipe your phone.
Actually you can still install Find My Phone even your phone is lost or stollen, and you do not need to setup anything.
Here is 2 steps -
1) Go to Play Store Website and Install Find My Phone —
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonefindandlock
2) Text message where is my phone to your phone from your friend's or family member's phone, and your phone will alarm and return the location when it receives the message.
Note:
1) Text the message after installation. The installation will take around 30-60 seconds.
2) Try to do these as soon as possible when you can not find your phone.
3) Good luck

Didn't Google implement a device search and remote wipe option a while ago?

This app will make ppl feel very secure about their phones It is a must have app for everyone

Is it stealth?
OK, so I got four phones stolen from our store and, although I have the Life360 app, there's a huge radius of the location.
So I've been looking for ways to get into the phones and see if the person has taken pictures so I can identify who stolen the phones to the police.
Two questions: if I install this remotely, will it show on the phone or can it be installed without notifications? And once it is installed, can I remotely retrieve files from the phone?
ThankS!

I want to reset my app

Hy, i have a app called Mcdonald, It offers some great offers but once you use it you can't use it again in the same phone even if you deleted it, changed account, vpn.
All of that didn't work can you help me to make my phone able to get that offer again?

Is it possible that the app would have collected hardware info of your phone to prevent re-usage according to the hardware info?

I dunno, but iam sure there's a way to use it again with root.
