Five ways to protect your smartphone from getting stolen

How can you save your smartphones from thieves? Or even if somehow your phone ends up getting stolen how can you protect your personal information from them? Here are five ways you should adopt to protect your data and prevent your smartphones from getting stolen.  

Make your phone hard to get, even for you
The easiest place to carry a phone is in your pocket, better yet a jacket pocket, but that's also the place a thief will look first. I've known several industry insiders and journalists who've had cell phones stolen from their pockets, purses, and backpacks, either quietly or as part of a crafty and elaborate plan to distract them.

What to do if your phone is stolen
Make your phone hard to get, even for you 
My last major piece of advice is to get into the habit of keeping phones you aren't holding as hard to extract from your person as possible, like the inside pocket of a jacket, the interior pocket of a purse (with the purse clasped or zipped and with your arm blocking the zipper,) and so on. The goal, once again, is to make yourself too much work for a thief.

Switch on tracker applications
The same GPS and network connections that help your phone find the best nearby restaurants and the fastest way home can help you find and protect the phone if it goes missing. To take advantage of this, you need to install a special free app that we’ll describe below, which works together with a free service that you can use to locate or erase the phone once it’s gone.

Keep your phone from getting stolen

Activate or install an application on your smartphone which can track your phone's location if stolen. This could help police if it's stolen. Some phones have this feature built in.

Back up your photos and videos
Phone carriers, phone makers, and operating systems typically offer free over-the-air backup for phone camera content, settings, and more. These options often appear when you set up the phone for the first time, though you can always activate them later. Selecting a carrier-neutral source, such as Apple's iCloud, Android's Google +, or Microsoft's OneDrive will make it easier to retrieve your precious memories should your next phone be from a different carrier.

Use a strong screen lock
This is your first and strongest line of defense. Skip the easy four-digit PIN and instead create a strong password that contains a string of at least eight characters that include some combination of letters, numbers, and special characters that do not form recognizable words or phrases—especially those that could be associated with you. For instance, Fred1969 is a weak password, but F!ed9691 could be much harder to crack. While typing a nontrivial password may feel cumbersome at first, it should get much easier with practice.

Solid Grip
Grip the phone securely in your hand, fanning out your fingers so that you've formed a protective cage or claw around the phone. Better yet, weave fingers from both hands around the device, so that they're touching. This is especially beneficial for larger phones that are harder to hold onto and therefore easier to snatch. It may sound strained, but for me this winds up being a natural way to grip a phone, one that happens almost instinctively.
Someone could still grab your phone from you, yes, but you've now created a deterrent and the appearance of physically locking on to your device, even if you are completely absorbed in what's happening on the screen, and oblivious to your surroundings.

“Boro Chele” would be a Popular Bangla New EID Natok 2017

This Eid-ul-Azha 2017, Mehzabien made a mark through her performances in TV plays, most notably Mizanur Rahman Aryan's “Boro Chele” opposite Apurbo that was one of the biggest hits of the festive season. In a recent interview with The Daily Star, Mehzabien spoke about her work and future plans.


How did you spend Eid?
Mehzabien:
It was spent very well. I was able to spend some quality time with my family, and also go about the city with my friends.

Did you watch your Eid special plays?
Mehzabien:
I couldn't watch all of them, but tried to watch most. I really enjoyed some of them. Quite honestly, when I watch the ones that I know have a good story, it inspires me to keep doing good work. I also watch plays done by others.

Your play “Boro Chele” was highly appreciated. Were you able to watch that one?
Mehzabien:
Yes, I was. It's an amazing story. And a lot of people seem to be speaking about it. Even those close to me have made it a point to let me know how well I have done in it. Being a part of “Boro Chele” was a very satisfying experience for me.
During shooting, did you know “Boro Chele” would go on to be this popular?

Mehzabien:
Not really. None of us really thought it would be so well received by the audience. But while we were doing the work, we all felt like we're collectively doing a good job.
What kind of work piques your interest?

Mehzabien:
Honestly, the whole 'university student in a love story' thing does not appeal to me. I am always interested in a good storyline and a strong character. Unique stories excite me, because they are the kind the audience always wants.

What are you future career plans?
Mehzabien:
The only plan I have is to keep doing good work. I don't want to overwork myself, but I want to make sure the work I do is praiseworthy.

Though the industry is relatively new yet the growth is muchfaster in comparison to other industries due to aggressive market oriented business strategy(Yousuf et al., 2006). Bangladesh’s phone sectors witnessed a 120 percent growth fromJanuary 2006 till now, with the numbers of users rising to 22 million from 10.8 million in 13months.GrameenPhone, the largest mobile operator in the country,
reached 10.76 million at the end of 2006 with the addition of nearly 5.22 million customers in a year, while the second largestoperator, AkTel, acquired 6 million subscribers, adding some 3.93 million to its total at thesame time.The third largest operator, Banglalink, acquired 3.64 million subscribers, adding 2.61 millioncustomers in the same period, while the only CDMA operator, CityCell, acquired nearly onemillion customers at the end of the year, more than double its 4.4 lakh customers in 2005.The government-owned Teletalk acquired nearly 4 lakh customers in 2006.Bangladesh is presently one of the top 10 mobile phone markets in the Asia-pacific region interms of the number of subscribers. Industry people said the number of mobile phonesubscribers will top 50 million in the next three years as the start-up cost as well as call tariff will be constantly shrinking because of cutthroat competition among the operators to woo newcustomers (Rahman, 2007).
