    Find my phone

    Yup it works. I have been using a program called Lookout, but this does almost everything Lookout does, minus the malware scans.

    Yeah, this is a great feature. I'm surprised they haven't done this sooner. Good stuff.

    I've been running "where's my droid" for a few years now.

    FYI I just tried this and it had both my tablet and phone but couldn't find the location of either because I keep location services turned off. The app I mentioned above will make the device ring without location being on, take pictures with the camera, etc. and if I request location it will turn the location services on.

    That is what Lookout does too.

    Worked for my phone, found it within 35meters. Kinda.
    The shown location was 16 miles away.
    But ringing and remote lock work fine. For obvious reasons I have not attempted a wipe.

    16 miles? Yikes, that's worthless!

    That's what I used to do, but that's no help when it's out in the car, out in the back yard, on silent, etc.
