How to find your lost or stolen Sony Xperia
Being able to find a lost or stolen mobile phone is not a really new and amazing feature. There are already many applications with the possibility of offering remotely the position of said terminal. However, it is quite an added point that the manufacturing companies worry about developing their own service so that the user can have this function without having to usethird-party applications, thus improving privacy.Something that Sony has finally started to do with the my Xperia service, which development for a long time.
This is a remote security tool that allows access, from a computer, to different terminal settings, wherever you are. Of course, always requiring a Internet connection to create said link. In this way, the user is given the possibility of knowing the location of the terminal, emitting sounds to find it or even lock it and delete all its contents to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands . We explain it step by step below.
The first thing is activate the My Xperia application in the menu settingsof the terminal.With this, the smartphone can always be contacted remotely and privately to access different functions and settings that indicate their position or that allow the rest of the security options of this process. After that, all you have to do is access the web page of the My Xperia service from any computer, where you just have to enter the data of the Google account of the terminal user and accept the permissions to create the link and have direct access to the device.
From here it is possible to carry out different useful actions to find the terminal or make it known that it has been stolen One of them is the one that allows emitting a loud sound in the terminal, even when it isfind it in silent or vibrate mode Something really useful to find the device in a certain place even in the darkor to find out who could have put it in his pocket.
Along with this it is also possible to place the terminal at a specific point on the map thanks to its sensor GPS A feature that does not need to be active as it can be controlled remotely with this service. Thus, with a very small margin of error, it is possible to know the real current position of the device .
Another option is lock the terminal with a numeric password that prevents any other person from accessing the contents stored in it until they the original user has it back in his possession. In addition, it is possible to send a message to the screen of the device with user contact details to hope that a kind soul decides to return the smartphone or facilitate its return.
Last but certainly not least, there is another security feature something else extreme This is the possibility of eliminate, always remotely, all the content of the internal memory and SD card of the device Something that would leave the mobile as fresh from the factory and should not be used unless it is a real need , since it is not possible to retrieve such information later.
The service My Xperia has just been launched after remaining in testfor the last four months in Northern Europe We still have to wait several weeks for it to arrive, progressive , to all corners of the planet. The downside is that only terminals Xperia launched between 2012 and 2013 will be able to use this service .
