    Hi,

    Is there anyway to track/find a stolen android? I blocked the IMEI on it and I have a "find my phone" app on it too but I never created an account :( Anyone have any suggestions? Would literally do anything to get it back!

    Does your son have a gmail account?

    Dropbox anything like this?

    some of these programs have an IP tracer of sorts as part of their workings for security reasons.

    For example if dropbox is on the computer then lt might be syncing up or the thief may have accessed his email (intentially or not) and both of these will log the IP address

    dropbox info in settings

    I'm not sure if your son uses any of these services but if he does you might get an IP address which would narrow your search.

    in abit of a rush so can't edit it right now but you get my drift?

    really quick edit though please nobody mention the fact that its an ie6 window? Blame work

    See if you can install an app called plan b, though if your account is already off the phone this will be of no use

    Thanks for the replies. I tried Plan B but it doesn't seem to be working. I have dropbox on the phone and linked to my computer but when I log in it just seems to have all the stuff I already had on it, nothing new. So frustrating!
