I do not want to use the remote scream/lock/wipe by sending an SMS message from another phone. Is there any other way to activate the features from Norton Anti-Theft website?
I have tried to activate the features by sending an SMS from my gmail accout, but that does not work either.
I prefer to do things from my computer or my equipment. I do not like the "buddy" feature!
Are there no other options for activating the features?
Hi mchstream
Welcome to the Norton Community
To activate the Norton Mobile Security application commands you can only
use SMS. The command being Scream, Lock, Locate, Wipe and Unlock.
These features or commands cannot be activated by email ,phone based
SMS only and not web based SMS .
If you add or install the Norton Anti-theft Plugin app which is addon for NMS
you will then be given the ability to Lock and Locate your phone using the Web.
At the moment using the NAT website you can only Lock the device and send
a messaage to be displayed on the locked device screen and also Locate the
device via Google Maps if the device has Use Wireless Networks and or the
GPS activated or take a Sneak Peek photo using the front facing camera.
Some usefull links for you the first being the addon app for NMS which is
Norton Anti-theft Pugin from the Android Market-
Norton Anti-Theft Plugin App for NMS
If you have a valid license of Norton Mobile Security 2.5 you can download this
addon for NMS and activate thru the NMS app when NAT is installed and follow the
instructions on registering the device using your Norton Account details if you do not
have a Norton Account you can create one when registering NAT.
More info is in this link to the Norton Mobile Knowledge Base Forum on using
NAT and NMS-
Norton Mobile Knowledge Base Forum
And this link is for the Norton Anti-Theft Website where you can login using your
Norton Account details-
Norton Anti-Theft Website
And the last link is for Norotn Mobile Products Support where you will find all the
info needed to install and use NAT on your Android device-
Norton Mobile Products Support
I hope this info helps you with some answers to your questions and assists you
with using the great features of NMS with the addon application Norton Anti-Theft
for Android.
Cheers
PS Maybe Symantec Norton might add the screan feature to the Norton Anti-theft
website in the future.?
