Studies show that a mobile phone spends at least 2% of its lifespan down the back of a sofa or under a shopping bag in the car, while its owner scrambles around the house trying desperately to find it. If you’re silly enough to put your phone on silent, you won’t even be able to call it to locate it by listening for the ring tone. UNTIL NOW.
Where’s My Droid is a free app that solves this tedious problem. Send a specific text to your phone and Where’s My Droid will turn your ringtone volume up and start ringing. The only requirement is access to another phone to send that text, which makes this app unsuitable for friendless wonders.
Here’s the QR code if you’re into that sort of thing:
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 4, 2010and would be great if someone else figured that out and started sending you sms’s when you WANT your phone to be silent ..
anyway .. the solution for the silent lost phone is
1- call the phone from a landline (or use a mobile phone but keep it far)
2- go around the house with a turned on radio
if you hear statics , it means you are near .. start looking !!
