Learn how to use device administration on your Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Activating this feature allows Google to administrate your phone in a way similar to IT security settings on a corporate PC. This would be beneficial in the case that your phone was lost or stolen. The phone could be deactivated or restricted (through administration) from a remote location.

From the Home screen, press Menu key and then tap Settings > Security.
Tap Device administrators to begin configuring this setting.
Select an administrator device and follow the prompts.

Unknown Sources

Before you can download a web application you must enable the Unknown sources feature (enables downloading). Developers can use this option to install non-Play Store applications.

From the Home screen, press Menu key and then tap Settings > Security.
Tap Unknown sources to active this feature.

Note: If you are notified that you cannot download a Play Store application because it comes from an Unknown source, enabling this option corrects this issue.
