dear Members

Last night I lost my smart phone Huawei Ascend Y330-U11

It was installed with a gps tracker app but I do not know how to go about to locate it.

Is it possible to trace it and know where it is? your advice will be of help in anyway.

thanks

If your tracking app was not a system app(root app) then be 95% confident that your phone is gone for Good.
The 5% is possible, if and only if,that phone was stolen/picked by an amateur guy in Android tech

Kutrace simu hakuji ghafla tu pale inapokuwa imeibiwa...unatakiwa uwe umekwishajiandaa kabla.

Whats a root app?

Whats a root app?

Any App that requires your phone to be rooted.
My best app ni Avast Anti-theft(rooted) nime install kwenye simu yangu moja hivi ambayo nimetumia kwa mda afu kampasia mdogo wangu chakushangaza pamoja kuwa simu ishakua Factory reset mara kadhaa lakini hii app inazidi kuni notify iwapo pale mdogo wangu ataingiza Foreign sim card i.e Any Sim card not defined to be trusted in that app.

Inakutumia namba ya simu iloingizwa na pia inakutumia location ya huyo mtu.

Lakini hii sio kwamba ni complete solution, you need to work hard baada ya kupata # ya mwizi na location yake

Note that hii app ikikamatwa na mtaalam yeyote wa Android ambae anapenda tabia ya kuweka Custom ROMs kwenye simu basi hautofanikiwa kupata details zake na hii ni iwapo ataingiza custom ROM kabla ya kuanza kutumia simu(which is very unlikely) hivo hii kitu iko poa sana kwa asilimia fulani

Nimekuelewa mkuu sema nilikua naiona playstore hiyo avast rooted sikua naielewa simu niliyokua natumia mwanzoni haikua rooted ya sasa hivi ni rooted

Ndo kama hiyo Avast anti-theft(rooted) inachofanya.ukisha install inakua kama Built in app.

Lakini pia simu zote za Samsung kwa Android OS naona zinakitu kinaitwa "Sim change Alert" na hii inatofautisha kati ya simu ya Samsung OG na zile Cloned phones

Ila nafikiri hii haiko secure sijawai kuitumia maana nahisi uki factory reset basi everything is gone

We bwana tafuta simu nyingine tuu.. utahangaika bure na mwishoni hautaipata.

Simu zote za Samsung zinaweza kuwa rooted tena kwa urahisi sababu watumiaji ni wengi

Thanks Wamavoko,

Unfortunately the GPS tracker was a secondary app, however I am already working with the cyber crime police to try to locate it with help from Tigo.

I hope I may be able to get it back some day or at least expose the thief/thieves or their network.

It is a fight that I am prepared to go the distance. If it turns out the 95% is true then I will know.

Thanks

Ishu hapa sio kupata simu pekee, ila pia tunajifunza na kubadilishana mawazo kama unavyoona wanajamii wanavyotiririka na information. Hizi information zinaweza kukusaidia hata wewe siku ukuamua kuachana na kitochi na kuingia katika smart world.

Karibu tubadirishane maujuzi,

At the end of it all I will bring feedbacks for all to see and learn a thing or two. I am also trying to satisfy myself if the cyber crime department really works and is effective, especially with the new cyber laws looming over and so closely to be signed. you never know just checking.
