You maybe can if you had an anti-virus on it. Most anti-virus apps have gps tracking and phone locking abilities of some kind. I know lookout, avg, and avast! do.  Goto to your a/v apps website and see what if any options they offer and depending on your carrier they may be able to access your gps coordinates. Different carriers have different policies on this. First off tho you need to change any passwords to any accounts you use on that phone especially if you have ever made any digital purchases or tracked/paid any bills online. androids can be identity theft nightmares. change your gmail p/word first because the gmail username is tied into so many apps and functions that require automatically syncing.


If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
