Device Administrators
Activating this feature allows Google to administrate your phone in a way similar to IT security
settings on a corporate PC. This would be beneficial in the case that your phone was lost or
stolen. The phone could be “deactivated” or “restricted” (through administration) from a remote
location.
Selecting Device Administrators
The Device Administration feature allows you to select one or more administration applications
that control your phone for security purposes (for example, if your phone is lost or stolen).
These applications enforce remote or local phone security policies. Some of the features a
device administration application might control are:
● Setting the number of failed password attempts before the phone is restored to factory
settings.
● Automatically locking the phone.
● Restoring factory settings on the phone.
Note: If a phone uses multiple enabled administration applications, the strictest policy is
enforced.
1. Press
and tap
> Settings > Security.
2. Tap Device administrators and tap an account.
3. Tap Deactivate to remove the current administrator.
Unknown Sources
This feature allows you to download and install non- Google Play
TM
applications.
1. Press
and tap
> Settings > Security.
2. Tap Unknown sources, read the warning, and then tap OK. A green checkmark
indicates the feature is enabled.
Trusted Credentials
Use this feature to allow applications to access secure certificates and other credentials.
