  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  2. Thanks for the usability tips; looks like one needs to apply the Boy Scout motto in advance, rather than after the fact–and even then there's no guarantee of successly tracking the phone in dense urban areas…

  3. why there is no way to remotely delete the data of the phone and locate it with Google maps which is obvious for me .
    this feature should be built in and out of the box if you want to call it like this and not a third party app that we need to relay on.

  4. Unfortunately, the thieves in our country are way smarter than USA. A few days ago I lost my Note4 in the train. Within 30 secs I could call it through another phone, but it was turned off. Android devices can be shut down even if the phones are locked with password or something like that. The phone never turned on in Bangladesh again, I located it in India after a month through Samsung app. Then I locked the device, wiped it clean. But that shouldn't stop the thieves, as they might as well sell the parts (RAM, Processor etc) in repair market. So as long as Android phones can be switched off without unlocking the phone, it's nearly impossible to get your phone back…

  5. I always rely on Samsung's "SIM Change Alert". When someone inserts their SIM into your phone, it uses that SIM and sends an SMS to your number/numbers which u have to preset first. After knowing the thief's number, just make a lost report to the authorities/telco and they will track the thief's address from his/her number.

  6. even I have tried locating my devices but unless u have already left the location on your phone ON , Android device manager won't even tell u the block. In that case It uses the previous logged in location.
    and keeping location on sucks the battery out f phone.

  7. Most people here dont know what they are saying. They are still living pre 2015 when phone encryption wasnt a thing. Some people are even saying you can use "adb" or fastboot commands on an encrypted and locked phone… You CANT, first you have to enable Developer mode, then you have to explicitly authorize the computer you are connecting the phone to run commands. IF you dont have the lock code you obviously cant do that.

  8. Thieves are more knowledge than to bypass security than you provide in this video to recover phone.

    And basically if phone have password they just reset and bypass the email verification process (search on youtube ) or they just flash the phone from local market then these tracking app is useless.
    Also they alter the IMEI of phones like samsung , micomax etc. to prevent tracking.

    If you talk about security in android phone then i think its foolish idea or a joke.

    Android better have to learn at-least security feature from IPHONE.
