SafeState Anti-theft

Out of reach.
Not out of control.

Prepare your Android phone before it goes missing. If it does, send a secure remote command from another device.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Three actions.
One clear goal.

Help protect the phone and give an honest finder a safe way to help.

01
▣

Lock the screen

Send a command that asks SafeState to lock the missing Android device.

02
✎

Show a message

Display your prepared owner or lost-phone message on the locked device.

03
⌖

Request location

Ask for the phone’s last known location, if permission was granted before it was lost.

Set it up before you need it

Remote Lock
setup guide.

Your phone must be configured and monitoring before it is lost. Test the full flow while the device is still with you.

  1. 01

    Open Anti-theft

    In SafeState, open Security Suite → Anti-theft → Remote Lock Setup.

  2. 02

    Name the device

    Create a memorable Remote Device Name. SafeState also provides a backup technical ID.

  3. 03

    Add the HTTPS endpoint

    Enter the address of your deployed SafeState Remote Lock command server. Production use requires HTTPS.

  4. 04

    Create the remote code

    Set and confirm the same Remote Lock Code you will use on the web control page.

  5. 05

    Grant optional location access

    Location can be reported later only if Android permission was granted before the phone went missing.

  6. 06

    Start monitoring and test

    Save setup, start Remote Lock monitoring, then send a test check from the web page.

HOW A COMMAND TRAVELS

Simple path.
Explicit control.

Important

The bundled command server is an MVP. Real-world deployment needs HTTPS, strong authentication, rate limiting, and audit logs. A phone must reconnect and check the server before a queued action can run.

What Remote Lock does

Focused recovery actions

  • Locks the device screen
  • Shows a lost-phone message
  • Requests last known location with prior permission
  • Uses a chosen device name or backup ID

What it does not promise

Honest limitations

  • It cannot act while the device stays offline
  • It cannot recover location without prior permission
  • It does not remotely erase the phone
  • It is not a substitute for secure server deployment
