Techfile: 4 Useful Tools To Help You Find Your Lost Phone - phone
Looking for your mobile phone can be a frustrating
experience. Sometimes it’s simply tucked in some
place, out of your sight. Yet it is also possible to lose
your phone away from home or have it stolen from
you. In any case, you can help the situation if you are
well prepared for such mishaps beforehand and if
you act fast enough. Here are some useful tools to
help you find your lost phone; 1. Android Device Manager (ADM):
As long as your device is connected to your Google
Account, you have internet access, you have location
turned on and ADM is set to locate your device
before it disappears, then there is still a chance that
you can recover it.
ADM can tell the location of your device by default
unless you have disabled this in settings. To locate
your lost phone with ADM simply visit android.com/
find on your PC, sign into your Google account and
select the particular device you are searching for if
you have more than one.
Google shows you the approximate location of your
device and gives you the option of;
Making it ring even if your device is set to silence
Locking it with a PIN password or pattern even if you
didn’t have one set before. You can also add a
recovery message on the lock screen. For example,
you can write “please call this number if you have
my device” Erasing all the data on your device. If you do not have access to a PC, you can also
download the “Find My Device” app from Play store
on another phone. Unfortunately, if your phone is
turned off, ADM can only tell you the last place your
device was seen. You can also use a similar feature
on Apple devices to find your iPhone.
Third party Apps
Other than the built-in Android device Manager, you
can also install other third party phone tracking app
on your device before you lose it. Like the Android
Device manager, most of these third-party apps can
help you locate, lock and erase data on your phone,
however, they also come with some other interesting
features that can make your phone search easier. 3. Cerberus anti-theft, Family Locator and Lost Android are some popular phone tracking apps with other
cool features.
Google search
If your device is already linked to your Google
account, you can simply type “find my phone” in the
Google search bar and select the first search result.
Once you are signed into your account, you can
locate your device and opt to either make it ring or
go ahead and choose the recovery option.
Of course, you will need your device to be signed
into your Google account and connected to the
internet to do this. However, Google also sends a
notification to your phone after your device has been
located. Doesn’t sound like a very good idea if your
phone was stolen. IMEI number If your phone was stolen and the thief turned it off or
did it a factory reset, it may be impossible to recover
your phone through the previous methods already
discussed. Your best shot at finding your lost phone is
through its IMEI (International Mobile Equipment
Identity) number and you may need the help of your
network operator and the law enforcement agencies
to get this done.
You can also track your IMEI number through a
database of lost and stolen phone. Computer village
launched a unified database for this a few months
ago. You can find your IMEI number on your phone
pack, behind its battery or simply dial *#06#.
