Phone lost ---- Data threat.

Im very laxed with my data but then, i dont have chat conversations i wouldnt want seen by anyone lol.
I wont be a pain and tell you what you COULD have done but i agree with the dudes tellin you what you CAN do. Your sim card is cut off but if the phone connects to wifi then i think(?) You can sideload an app that will wipe it without the theif accepting it but as everyone has said, unless they have your gmail password, they have to reset your phone to use it so dont worry.
If it was me i wouldnt have cancelled the sim and i dont use a lock because id be more interested in getting the phone back (yes scottish police are probably the same as in india so i'd have to physicly take back the phone without them.
Stop worrying man. If you'd took peeps advice you could have remotely wiped it :p
Good luck and learn from this one :beer:
 
I got my sim blocked and the ADM cant contact my device...!
had you been in my place and had super sensitive data in the phone in form of whatsapp chats...woulld you bee worried? its a question fr all

Sorry to hear about your device. I do keep a lot of personal data on my SGS4. (It's my primary mobile device.) I wouldn't be worried though, because I have Lookout and ADM enabled to locate and wipe device and my SD card. I have an 8 digit pin code lock as well. I'm encrypting my entire device and SD card right now as I type. (I've been debating for awhile if I should do it.) I was concerned how it would effect how I use my phone.
