(I don't know what appropriate tags would be). What do I need to do to make sure my phone is shown as active in the 'Find my Phone' webpage? I have downloaded the android app 'Find my device' to my phone, and the app will show my phone as an active device and will ring it. I'm not offered an option to re-verify it. If you can’t find your phone, simply go to Google’s search page and type Find my device. If I go to it correctly shows my number, and that it has been verified. If I open Contacts it correctly lists my number, although I had to add this. Also, if I go to Settings > System > About Phone > Status > Sim Status I expect to see my phone number listed, but it says 'unknown' for My Phone Number. If I go to (on the phone) Settings > Google > Device Phone Number it says 'no number available', but the device correctly shows up on the webpages when accessed on pc. Luckily I found my phone, but I wanted to make sure it would be findable by find my phone so I walked through the steps at Ĭonfusingly, the device is turned on, it's signed into a Google account, it's connected to both mobile data and wifi, it's visible on Google Play, it has Location turned on, and it has 'Find My Device' turned on. Recently I wanted to use Find my Phone again, but I noticed that when I went to /android/find it shows 'No Active Devices'. I previously used 'Find my phone' and it worked. I have a Moto G5, running Android 8.1.0 (the latest available version for this device). But theres nothing mysterious here, I just wrote a regular Android app (phone not rooted), that communicates with a servo controller via a serial port over the usb, and accessing the phones sensors are all well documented on Androids website.
