There goes the screenshot of how the app looks like on a Nexus 4. If you are using a Google Apps account, the ADM apparently won’t work. Works flawlessly and quickly when logged in with a Gmail account, though. I think all of us here should try it out, right away! Check the app now and share your reviews with us in comments below. Here's the link to download Android Device Manager - #-Link-Snipped-#.

    That's just awesome. 👍 I am going to try this app today itself. I need to get something similar for keys too. There are a couple of good devices that can be attached to keys that beep if synced with your smartphone. Pretty neat.
