I have have filling only get location when my kid takes mobile and enter it, something like, when the screen is power off I can't get location?


Thank you

    I don't think the anti theft locate feature is a valid tool anymore. Changes made by google have restricted third parties from doing this in real time, I think keeping this feature is a little misleading. You "may" get a location back hours after requesting it from the tool and then I doubt it is from the command being sent to it more like a random update. It used to be in real time, not anymore.

  • I have tried everything and stil the anti theft features are not working. It is a pity because this is one of the main reasons I purchased Bitdefender.

    The things that don't work:

    1.Locate device: it takes hours and sometimes days to locate a device, although the device will be next to me and I would just be testing the feature, and also in real situations.

    2. All other remote actions feature are not working

    I am using Android Devices

    Kindly fix this issue

    just for the record, it is really not working as it should... well, it used to work a few days earlier without any problems... now, even the Alert (Scream) mode is not working at all... i'll post a thread about that tomorrow...

    regards...

  • For 3 days now it can't locate any of the 4 android devices we use in the family.Everything is turned on but nothing happens.The last detection was 3 days ago since then nothing.Please fix it...it's basic function for parents!

    Agree with the above posts. My phone cannot be found, and the alert mode is not working, either.
