Can't find your Android phone? Here's what to do to track it down

You're about to run out of the house, and suddenly your phone is nowhere to be found. Or you get in your car after being at the store, and your phone's not in your bag.

Does this scenario sound familiar? Whether you're someone who loses or misplaces your phone frequently or just once in a blue moon, we've all been there.

Unfortunately, finding your phone is not so easy. Perhaps you try calling it, but your ringer is on silent. Or it fell into the cracks somewhere, and you can't see the screen light up.
