Any way to turn on location mode on the android remotely?

[AC Question]

The phone is on can receive calls but the location mode is not on so the Android Device Manager cannot locate it. The phone dropped out of the golf cart on the golf course! If location mode were on, the Device Mgr would find it!

Unless you set it up before-hand there is no way to do that. That would be a huge security risk. Let this be a lesson. Always install your preferred security app as soon as you can, in case this happens. You will thank yourself if it does.
