Telecom networks input something, the GPS is not really off all the time.
No further details.

. Go to your phone security look for anti thief enter enter your number must be two (not the one inside the phone) enter password you will never forget else you lose your phone. That's all.


Any number inserted in to your phone will send you a message telling you that your phone is stolen.

It doesn't require network
It can't be flashed
You will get the thief number once he insert his sim inside the phone

Best solution.
Flash any anti theft app into your rom. Make It a system app.
Even resetting the phone won't help

I used avast years ago on samsung galaxy S2, when it was stolen, i only got the serial number of the sim inserted into my phone via mail. MTN refused to give me the persons number without police report.

Sim lock is one feature that is very good to deter thieves.

I did on my old Infinix device.

I forgot the password, swapped one of my sims and the phone just locked. Returning to the initial sim didn't help me at all

I spent 3 days without a phone because of it. I could answer calls but cannot access anything. During the 3 days i reset my phone 3 times via volume/power buttone but once phone comes up, it is locked.

I eventually was able to remember the password else the phone would only be used for spare parts.

Modified:

The problem with all the other options is that you have to have internet turned on, GPS turned on, have data on the active sim and must be in a data coverage area. Though i donot turn off data, i always turn off GPS for battery saving.

Atleast they should develop an option to turn GPS remotely. I know data will be impossible.

Lastly, for the fact that the status bar is accessable even on screen lock makes all these other methods useless as a thief can turn off data and GPS appart from turning off the phone entirely.

Sim lock is the most effective antitheft in my opinion.
how can one do this sim lock thingy?

I heard so. Am using MI 5 with an activated account. The only problem with Xiaomi is that the options are only available with them. That means you have to work with them to get anything done but its a sure way be safe.

I was robbed of my redmi note 4 global version, I had micloud account on it, and it have been trying to lock it up but it isn't working out. Is there a way I can go about it. The pain of losing that phone is still fresh in my mind.

You need to have enabled the software to work with Google maps before the phone gets stolen and not after.

You have to root your phone first. You can then flash the app or use apps that you can use to make other apps system apps.
Use Google.
