Anyone know an app that I can get (free or $$, don't matter) that is very reliable to track devices using GPS/Wifi? Would also appreciate if I can also track the devices through the computer as well!

I have two android devices and hoping to link them together when one is lost/stolen/whatever.

If you want to go hardcore all in one security package, Cerberus.

But for what you describe, Android's built in capabilities seem to be fine: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3265955?hl=en

To see if your other device is stolen? Are you sure you don't mean to see if someone is cheating on you or if your kids are lying about "going out to study"?

Don't worry man, restraining orders don't mean much. Keep following her around, she will learn to love you eventually.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The former. In the event one of the device is stolen, I'd like to track it through one of the devices. TBH, I don't care too much on the device, but the files (pictures and stuff) are irreplaceable. I did lose a 3DS, with hundred of hours of monster Hunter 3 ultimate into it... And all is lost :( (got 3ds XL now though!) Don't want to experience that for my android devices!

Hahaha, no, nothing of that sort :P Just to make sure a device can be recovered.

Tested it, working as I wanted it to! Thanks! Can you tell me your experience with Cerberus?

No can do, I know *of* Cerberus, but never actually had any need to use it. Combination of Zoner antivirus and the built in service is fine for my needs.
