Ma. Magdalena V. Gatdula, Alvin V. Nuqui · 2015
The main purpose of the study is to design and develop an Android Security Application that will secure contacts, conversations, and pertinent files once the phone was lost. The application can detect the new mobile number of the new user if replaced by another Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card and the cell phone will be set in flight mode. In order to make the study possible, several methods and techniques were employed in developing an efficient security application that is capable of retrieving contacts and detecting new SIM card number. The study utilized developmental research design to simulate and explain various conditions that may affect the achievement of the objectives of the study. After developing the application, the researcher did several tests on how the application behaves when installed with android phones having different operating system’s versions. The developed application was evaluated and showed a good acceptability level based on the respondents evaluation. The system was found acceptable and has a “Very Good” rating as reflected by the computed grand mean of 4.64. The researcher recommends pre-installing the application in every Android Operating System so that when the phone was formatted, the application will not be deleted.
