The Best Ways to Lock your Android Phone or Tablet

They'er multiply ways to lock your Android device but in this post I will show you the best ways to do it

1. PIN Number

A PIN number is the best and safest way to lock your Android device. You can make an easy 4 digit PIN code, or, a more difficult 5 or more digit PIN code. Make sure it is easy to remember so I recommend a 4 digit PIN code. Just don't make your birthday or any date that is special to you that everyone knows about. Make sure that now one is looking

2. Pattern

A pattern is not the safest lock screen because if you shin the screen in light you see a smudge line that revels the pattern which makes it not the safest. To make it a little safer you can make the pattern invisible. Go to your settings, security, set up a pattern, tap "make pattern viable" to test it lock your device and enter your pattern it should be invisible.

A Find my IPhone app but for Android

Apple always had find my IPhone for IPhone but android never had it for Android, until now. Google

released "Android Device Manager" to track your Android phone threw GPS, and if it fell into the cracks of the couch and you didn't now where it is you can make it ring off of the web site. This feature is also available when the phone is on silence. That will be handy if you lost it in your home, but what about outside of your home. You can track your phone via GPS. So if you sat it on a bench at the park and you forgot to pick it up and checked your pockets and it is not there so you went on your laptop and found out that you left it on the bench so you went back and got it. Let me give you a little tip, you can also erase your data from that phone if some one toke it, but, you must set this up before it was stolen. I basically this is better then find my droid because you can use GPS to track it. So go check it out for your self.www.google.com/android/devicemanager
