Dinside.no: There will be extra crowded in the streets May 17 and pickpockets are active. According to police, the national day the day of the year it will be reviewed as many thefts in Oslo.
Mobile is particularly vulnerable in this respect. And losing it is not just sour.
One thing is that the handset in action see for yourself soon cost a few thousand dollars, but you will also lose access to your content, and for many of us the very first image of the pupil be irreplaceable.
We recommend that you do two things before you step into the national costume this year:
Make a backup copy of the data that’s on your phone, and make sure to protect it a lock, so it is not a free-for whoever eventually manage to snatch it from the bag.

Make a backup
With a backup, an eventual loss of the phone be a little less painful. Then you can at least recover photos and messages on another phone.
When it comes to backup you have two options:
Either create a backup on your PC at home, or use one cloud service so that backup is stored in the cloud. You must of course feel free to choose both.
The process is obviously something different depending on which phone you have.
We have described all the methods for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone in this article.
Protect your mobile with lock
Although you have a backup, you will not know that the thief will be able to scroll through all the images and messages, act like you on Facebook, read all emails and potentially steal your identity?
No. And therefore unlock the phone. And have you seen – we already have a guide on DinSide to how to unlock the iPhone and Android phones (ctrl-click to open in new tab).
Although the is three years old, it is still valid; the only thing is that Apple has moved menu of General list ever since, so you first walk in Settings and Code .
A little thing, though: Although it is easier with a PIN than a password (which you must write with a keyboard), it is less certain – a skilled thief can unlock a phone PIN on fairly short time, we have seen a demonstration here at work .
Maybe you exactly on May 17 therefore will ensure you a little extra and choose a password instead.
Remember that on most phones nowadays can fish the phone from his pocket and start the camera directly from the lock screen anyway, so the moment you can capture just as quickly.
Lock phone – Windows Phone
On Windows Phone, go to Settings and Lock Screen . From there you can set a PIN to unlock the phone.

But what if it’s stolen?
OK. We have a backup, and we have locked the phone so its contents are inaccessible to thieves. What do we do when we discover that it’s gone?
Would you like to take up the quest you can always try to find out where it is, and it can also be useful to delete it completely if you doubt that you ever going to get it again.
Such services are built into all three mobile systems, but you must ensure that the functionality is active:
• To ensure the iPhone against theft
• To ensure Android phones against theft
• To ensure Windows Phone mobiles against theft
Lock SIM card
Is your phone lost or stolen, do you also wise to block the SIM card so that it can no longer be applied to your bill. Then you have to call your provider from another phone and enter your phone number.
You should of course also report the theft, which also is necessary to get back money on your travel insurance.
You can also prevent the phone can be used in cellular again. This is done via a central register in Ireland and is linked to the unique number by telephone, called the IMEI number.
There are probably printed on the box you got it, but it can also appear on screen if you “call” * # 06 #. The operator will obviously be of assistance in finding this for you anyway, but you will have to speed up the case, you could note it beforehand.
