WTF Google?! Android Device Manager may be disabled on your device
Nov 7th 2013, 16:00, by Kris Carlon

You probably don't know this, but thankfully the super snoops over at Android Police spotted this one early. The most recent updates to Google Play Services – the driving force behind pretty much everything Google does on your Android – has a sneaky and potentially dangerous change to Device Administrators: namely, that it disables Android Device Manager as a Device Administrator, meaning you cannot access that service's remote lock and wipe feature. So if your phone gets stolen you can't do anything about it.
