Hey guys,
Ok, this is more of a users choice type question.
Now when I was a Blackberry user, there was a site sponsored by BB called Blackberry Protect to use if you lost your BB. It did all the things you would expect of such a project. You could log on to the website you could send a lock command, display whatever you wanted on the screen of the phone, call the phone, delete all personal information, locate the phone using it's internal GPS of which you could turn on remotely if it was not on at the time your trying to "find" your phone and they even had a way for you to backup and restore your BB personal info.
Now when I got my first Android, it was an HTC. Up until recently HTC had 'HTC Sense' which allowed you to do all those same things until I am guessing HTC didn't realize it would be such a hit because they have since taken it down stating that it was no ready for primetime so they just shut the service off.
Now I have the Galaxy Note and I really miss those services. I know there are apps such as "Lookout" and "Android Lost". So my question to you guys is, do you know of such a service / app that does it all in the Android world? Blackberry's site / app was simply superb, but I haven't found any app in the Droid world that would do all the things I mentioned above. From what I have seen some of the apps do some of those features but not all. I was hoping someone who may know the BB service I am speaking of and can compare those features and let me know if there is something in the Droid world that would give you all the same tasks ect.
What is the current "User's Choice" here at android forums? Yes I know that there are a bunch of threads in here regarding these apps, but I am trying to see what do you guys use that is the closest to the BB Protect but works great for Android and preferably is free just as it was for BB Protect and HTCSense while it lasted for HTC devices. So I would love to hear what you are all using.
Thanks!
