There can be many situations when you need to find a phone through a Google account, and the problem can affect both your own and someone else’s smartphone, for example, the device of an elderly relative or a child.

Every person at least once in your life has lost a phone and thought: “It would be nice if he left traces by which the device can be found.” And, oddly enough, these traces remain. not on the surface of the earth, of course, but in the memory of Google servers, if your device is controlled by the Android system.

Finding a phone using a Google account from a phone or computer is quite simple. however, it must meet a number of conditions:

• Remember when you used the device for the last time or just held it in your hands.
• Determine approximate locations where a Samsung mobile device is lost or stolen.
• Walk through them.
• If possible, then find a Samsung phone by IMEI.

In addition, you can go to pawnshops located near the approximate place of loss or theft, or contact resellers. Chances are slim, but worth a try.

What determines the success of finding a Samsung phone

To find your Samsung Galaxy phone, you need to use geolocation or another method. But for the result to be positive, Honor needs different factors. For instance:

• time elapsed since theft, loss. Every minute counts, because if a telephone device is lost, it can be found by a person who does not want to return his find. In the event of theft, the thief will have time to remove the SIM card and it will no longer be possible to call the number;
• find a Samsung phone through a Google account and other Google services, provided that the gadget is linked to them. If this is not done, then most likely it will not work to detect the loss through the PC;
• the correct setting of the operating system and the installation of the necessary data. Almost all existing search methods require a smartphone to be configured in advance. Otherwise, the police cannot do without the help of the police, but it can be ineffective.

If the listed conditions are met, then it will be easy to find a stolen, lost Samsung phone through your account or using another method.

Search by IMEI

Thanks to this method, you can find your lost Samsung phone by its IMEI serial number. It is a 15-digit code assigned to each product before it appears on the market. It is problematic to change this combination on your own, so an ordinary user will not be able to cope with this task.

To find out your IMEI, you need to look at the box in which the device was sold, on the battery, or dial the combination #. But this method is not the most effective in case of theft, because the thief will immediately reset this parameter. Users often start calling the call center to find their Samsung phone if they have lost it, or to get information about it. Unfortunately, they have the right to provide such information only to police officers, and they will not be able to block the device remotely.

This method takes time and effort, but its effectiveness is not always justified. Therefore, if there is no special equipment, it is better not to use this method.

How to find a switched off phone

Another problem that a user of a Samsung smartphone faces is that the device is lost and at the same time it is turned off. In this case, only representatives of law enforcement agencies will be able to find the loss. You need to proceed as follows:

Without contacting the police, it will be impossible to find a thief or a missing person, because employees have access to a database with IMEI numbers.

Account search

The most common method is to search for Samsung phone by Google account. Such functionality is available to all owners of gadgets running on the Android OS, including the products of the South Korean manufacturer. To get back your “loss” you need to register a Google account and check the network connection.

The search will give a result if the device is active and the Internet is turned on. Otherwise, the efforts will be in vain.

• log into your Google account on your computer and select the “Phone search” menu;
• examine the list of devices that are assigned to the device profile;
• select the desired model from the list;
• pass authorization following the prompts.

After completing these steps, you can use one of two options: call the number or determine where it is via the Internet. In the first case, the device receives a call, with which you can determine whether it is on the street or at home. If the device is stolen, it will be possible to determine its approximate location.

But if it is turned off, then it is worth waiting for it to be turned on to make it easier to search. The disadvantage of the method is the error, which is 300 m. In other words, if a multi-storey building is shown on the map where the system directs after logging into the account, then it is almost impossible to find the loss. The only solution is to constantly update the program to monitor the movement of the device.

Search through apps

Thanks to the Find My Mobile app for Samsung, you can find your missing one very quickly. To do this, you need to access the gadget, find the place where it is located, or block it. You must have an active Samsung account on your phone to use this service. To do this, immediately after purchasing a smartphone, you need to download the program and register in it. In addition, a prerequisite is to allow Google to collect data and agree to the terms of use for wireless networks.

But you will be able to find a device from Samsung through your account, provided that the “send last location” function is active in the settings. In this case, before the device is turned off, it will send information about the last location to the server, so it will not be difficult to find the device.

If the gadget is not connected to the network or remote access is not enabled, then all efforts will be in vain.

In addition, with the help of Find My Mobile you can:

• lock screen, on / off buttons and Samsung Pay;
• call your device and if it is not far away, you will hear a loud call within a minute;
• delete the information available on the device;
• save backup to Samsung cloud service.

This is not the only application that helps to find a “lost”, but it is the most popular.

Is it possible to track the phone if it is turned off

Most of the methods do not work with turned off devices, so the user can count on only a few options:

• write a statement to law enforcement agencies;
• contacting the cellular operator.

It is worth contacting the police only if the user is sure that the gadget has been stolen. Law enforcement officers do not search for lost phones, therefore, when filing an application, evidence is required that the mobile device was stolen by an intruder.

You should not contact law enforcement agencies if the mobile device has been lost within the user’s home or apartment. In this case, the report of the loss can be regarded as making a false call, which will cost the smartphone owner fines. The amount of recovery can vary from 1,000 to 200,000 rubles, depending on the funds spent on the search and the damage.

In addition to an application, a passport and an agreement on registration of cellular services, the user will also need an IMEI number.

As a result, the numbers of interest will appear on the phone screen.

• in the instructions or on the box of the purchased device;
• inside smartphone.

The second way is to contact a cellular company providing mobile services. To do this, the user needs to collect the following documents:

• SIM card holder’s passport.
• Service agreement.
• Smartphone IMEI, however, many cellular companies are able to track the SIM card without this parameter.

The call can be made in any cell phone salon of the user’s mobile company. If the owner of the smartphone provides all of the above data, then the salon employee will indicate the current location of the SIM card.

It is important to take into account the margin of error that exists when determining the location of a mobile device. In cities, it is about 100-200 meters; in rural areas, this value can increase to several kilometers.

You just need to prove that you are the owner of the SIM card. Can I ask the mobile operator for help in finding the place of the phone without presenting a contract for registration of services? Yes, but for this you need to know the number of this contract itself. If you do not have such information, then the representative of the cellular company has every right to refuse the search. How long does the police search for a missing phone? It all depends on the specific case. Basically, representatives of law enforcement agencies use the same means that have been described by us: they find out the IMEI of the device, contact the cellular operator. Therefore, the time spent depends on the efforts made and the luck of the operatives.
