Hey Everybody,

I'm new to android and had a question. I wanted to know how to secure my Note 5 in the event someone stole it. Can it be hacked? Should I root or not? Is there software that can work it's way in by hardwiring into it? I want to take all precautions that I can to keep my Note 5 and data secured.

Thanks,
Metall

That's it? I heard there can be back doors. Is there anything else that I should do or is it secure enough like that...there is a lot of personal information on my device.

Encryption and lock screen should keep your personal information safe

I use Lookout Mobile Security. Premium Features are $2.99/mo and for me, worth it.

https://www.lookout.com/

They have been getting my money for a LONG time and I have never had any issues. It has a full feature set of security, theft protection and remote access features.

I know there are a lot of FREE options, and I have tried many, but in all my trials and searching, paying for Lookout has been the best of everything. The low cost per month is more than worth the peace of mind I have.
