Tutorial: How to Remotely Power off Any Android Phone by Sending SMS

This might sound strange to you but yes, you can remotely
turn off any android device by sending it an SMS. However,
the task is made possible with the help of an app that
communicates directly to your device operating system.
This process might take you 3-4mins to complete setup as
you’ll need to install the application, configure the
application to get it ready. So, once configuration of the
app
is completed, shutting down the device via SMS would be
very easy.
You must make sure that your android device is a rooted
device. Of course, you don’t expect an android device that
isn’t rooted to attain this kind of feature. This is one of the
benefits of rooting your android device, so as to tweak the
dark corners of our device, and that’s what we’ll be doing
right away.
How to Remotely Power off Any Android Phone by Sending
SMS
1. Firstly, Download the Remote Power off file on your
computer, open the zipped folder and extract the
Remoteturnoff.apk file from the zipped folder (System >>
App >> Remoteturnoff.apk).
2. Next, either you install the app from your computer to
your device or make sure that you’ve enabled “unknown
source” options on your android device. To enable this
option, go to settings >> security and then enable it. This
option lets you install applications downloaded from third
party sources.
3. After that, transfer the app to your android device,
install
and then launch the application.
4. Now, you’ll need to reset the password of the app to
yours. The default password on the app is null, so input it
on current password and then enter your new code. Tap
“change secret code” once you’re done.
5. Next, go to your SuperSU and make sure that app is
granted root access.
6. That’s it. You’re done.
All you have to do is send the secret code that you used for
the app as SMS to your android device, and the device
would be turned off remotely. Isn’t it cool? One of my
favorite android hacks and tricks I do use at home. It
makes you feel like a boss to others that don’t know what
you did.
