Smartphone theft protection and security has become a serious concern as of late, with numerous official solutions such as Google Device Manager arising in addition to third-party ones like Cerberus and Comodo. One such official solution is Sony’s My Xperia app, which functions similarly to Device Manager, allowing you to locate, lock, factory reset or ring your device.
However, all is not well with Sony’s Theft Protection, as it has recently come to light that using the service prevents users from unlocking their device’s bootloader, which is a justifiable reaction, given that modifications may interfere with the device security. However, the real problem lies with users who already have an unlocked bootloader, with Sony releasing a disclaimer on their website stating that such users may experience device “malfunctions”:
“After unlocking your device, you should not enable My Xperia (found in the settings menu under security on some devices running Android 5.0) as this might cause the device to malfunction.”
While the malfunction isn’t explained, and could be anything from a minor reboot to a bricked device, users are better off not taking a risk, and disabling My Xperia. Have you faced any issues on your Xperia using My Xperia? Let us know in the comments section below
