Phone tracker app

[mudskipper]

Having lost (and found) my HTC Desire again, I'm thinking I really should install some sort of 'where's my phone' app.

What do people use?

I came across

which on the face of it looks like it does the job.

The tracker apps aren't that accurate to work out the phone has fallen behind the sofa, will but tell you which ever building you left it in

Find my iphone will send a signal for it to go beep at full volume allowing you to find it provided the battery isn't totally dead.

Yes I've had to use that function far too often as well.

I have lookout installed.

Since I'm paranoid about losing my phone / wallet, I'm backing this Kickstarter project - wallet tells you when you leave your phone behind, phone tells you when you leave your wallet behind.

Cheers all.

iPhone apps not much help for Android

I'll go with lookout.

I have 360life installed on mine Life360 - The New Family Circle

Great thing is you can get the kids on it so can see where they are as well. Don't use it to track their every move but if one of them is late home instead of fretting and ringing round everyone I can see where they are.

Have a look at Prey - I have used this on several Android handsets.....and a tablet a while back. Thankfully, never had to 'use' it, but comes pretty highly recommended by those who probably know more than me
