Device Administrators

The Device Administration feature allows you to select one or
more administration applications that control your device for
security purposes (for example, if your phone is lost of
stolen). These applications enforce remote or local device
security policies.

Some of the features a device administration application
might control are:

Setting the number of failed password attempts before the

device is restored to factory settings.

Automatically locking the device.

Restoring factory settings on the device.

Note: If a device uses multiple enabled administration

applications, the strictest policy is enforced.

1. From a Home screen, touch

Apps

Settings

Security.

2. Touch Device administrators, to select a device

administrator, and follow the prompts.

If no device administrators are listed, you can

download them from the Play Store.

3. Touch Unknown sources to download and install

non-Market applications.

Warning! Enabling this option causes your phone and

personal data to be more vulnerable to attack by
applications from unknown sources.

4. Touch Verify Apps to cause your phone to either block

or warn you before installing apps that may cause

harm to your phone.

5. Touch Change security level to set the security level

to High or Normal.
