In general, there are few moments in which we separate from our mobile. And we are not talking about stopping using it, since in that sense there are those who are more or less glued to their device. We refer to the moment when we are not using it, but it is still by our side.
Whether on the bedside table, on the sofa in the living room while we watch a series or in the hole of the car or in the pocket of our pants, even without using it our mobile does not move far from us. Due to this attachment and habit of not losing sight of it, cold sweats and nerves are common when we cannot find our device.
How can the mobile ring
The most common circumstance is when we know for sure that the mobile should not be very far, but we still cannot find it even if we have turned the house. The best thing in these cases is to make the mobile ring, since it will very possibly end up being detected between the holes in the sofa or under the car seat . For that reason we are going to review the most ingenious methods and the alternatives we have to make it sound remotely.
On many occasions we will be able to count on the help of a third person for this purpose, but when it is not possible, the imagination can be very useful. We are going to try to save you that time with some of the best tricks, simple and that will make your mobile ring instantly.
Call me or call me
Let’s start at the beginning. The most used method is to use the mobile of a third person (family member, friend or partner) to make a call to the mobile and use the sense of hearing until you find it. If we do not have this option because we are alone, we must remember that we very possibly have something called a “landline” , which is larger than a mobile phone and is usually creating dust in a corner. We can take advantage of it to make the same option when there is no nadir to help us make our mobile ring.
Do you have a virtual assistant at home?
If your home already has a virtual assistant, either from Amazon or Google, during its configuration it is possible to have linked our phone number to the account . In that case we are in luck, since we will only have to activate the assistant and say “call my mobile”. After a few seconds our mobile will begin to ring and we will be able to locate it.
Hey Google, put on music
If we are close enough for the microphone of our mobile to detect the voice, we can activate the Google assistant, pre-installed on many devices. When we say Ok Google, or Hey Google, we will activate the assistant of our mobile. Then just say “put music on YouTube” or similar, so that the terminal begins to sound and it is easier to find it.
Let’s go to pc
- Via WhatsApp or Telegram web : Our computer can help in these cases and if all of the above is not possible or has failed. Consider having a WhatsApp Web (or Telegram Web) session open. If so, just write to a group we are in or create a group from scratch with a single trusted contact. Then we must make the mobile ring by sending mass messages, since the notifications should reach our mobile and give us a clue of where it is. If we have been lucky enough to access WhatsApp Web, we can even ask a contact to make a voice call to make the device ring.
- Through emails : Self-sending emails is a common practice. For this purpose it can also make sense, since the mobile will ring with the alerts of the new emails received. The ideal is to open several tabs, having four or five auto-emails prepared and send us at the same time being attentive to the sound of the notifications that will arrive in a staggered way.
Find my Google mobile
This method is very useful, and is commonly used for theft or loss in which we require location via GPS. However, we can go to this website from the PC or another mobile to make our mobile ring. It will be important that we log in with the same Google account that the mobile has in order for it to be effective.
Are you wearing a smartband?
The final salvation may be in our smartband or smartwatch. Being linked by Bluetooth with our mobile, most have a function to find it quickly. This means that an order will be sent from the wearable for the mobile to start ringing. The “find device” option is available in the interface of the Xiaomi Mi Band and many other smartbands and smartwatches on the market.
