Remote wipe

[pjc123]

I activated AVG anti-theft, because why not as it is free, but never tried anything out. As a side question, How are you liking Solavei. I am getting fed up with Straight Talk, although I am concerned about T-Mobiles phone service coverage on Solavei, as AT&T is consistently reported as having much better coverage.

just had my nexus 4 stolen

But didn't install any of these apps, any way I can remote install and activate? Or any other way to wipe nexus?

Maybe. If the phone is turned on and still has the SIM card (or is connected to WiFi) and the thief hasn't already done a hard reset, you can remotely push some apps. Same as pushing apps remotely if you buy on the Play store from a desktop. However, I think the window is pretty small before a thief does a hard reset. On the other hand, what do you have to lose? For example, Cerberus has a free trial period and if it helps get your phone back the 2.99? license is cheap. If it doesn't, there's no way to do the in-app upgrade anyway.
