Google recently ( on 8th Aug,2014) has rolled-out an update to its Android device manager application with an interesting feature of "call back" to set a call back button on the screen of stolen or lost smartphone.The updated Android device manager application (v1.3.8) can be downloaded for devices running Android 2.3 or higher from Google Play. Apart from bug fixes and performance improvements the new feature allows users to set a call back button on the screen of stolen or lost smartphone.
As earlier, Android device manager allows users to lock-screen password and custom message for lost or stolen mobiles, and with the recent updated application, the users also have the new option and improved security feature to add an alternate mobile number that will appear in the form of bright green call button on the lock screen.
Here every one arises one question " what about if we not setup this feature before we lost the smartphone?"
- Don't worry. Now forget about those type of thoughts. You can setup the feature before the smartphone stolen or lost , OR the feature can also be set up afterwards in two methods.
01. By signing into Android device manager via web
02. By friend's Android smartphone by entering through guest mode.
While Android officials reports the call back option limited to phones, for obvious reasons, it should work on tablet devices with a voice-calling feature. But they assured to ensure the feature to phones shortly in coming days.
On Wednesday, Google also updated its Search and Play music apps for Android with new features.- The Google search has been updated to version 3.6. The update is said to enable deep linking of apps through search and could possibly allow "Google to show content from inside an app and link directly to it if you have got it installed.
- Meanwhile the Google play music app received minor update from version 5.6.1609P from the previous version of 5.6.1616.
