Find my phone
As part of The Sardine News technical subjects, here is a neat little trick, to help you find your lost phone, sometimes.
You need to have a Google login and be logged in on your Android phone for this to work.
Now login to your Google account through a browser.
Search Google for “find my phone”.
It takes a long time, and often does not work…just try again. Obviously it uses the phones location capabilities, and therefore an outdoor lost phone is easier to find than an indoor lost one, as the phone triangulates with cellphone towers and satellites.
But while you are patiently waiting, another feature will help appease your frustration – there is “Ring” button below the map, which when clicked – starts your phone ringing at top volume for 5 minutes!
