Root Phone Location

Morning.

What application do you recommend for locating my phone?
I used to use Where's my Droid but it doesn't seem to work for me no more, contacted the Dev and he says a lot of people who are rooted have reported problems.

Any other suggestions?
 
Tried Plan B once, a while ago before I rooted. I had left my phone at home by mistake, so wanted to see if I could locate it from the pc at work. Didn't install OTA though so no joy. Judging from the reviews it does work for a lot of people though.
 
Tried that, but I noticed when my cpu gets turned down to about the 650mark when the battery is low AND using lookout, typing becomes slow, may of been coincidence, still testing
 
if you uninstall lookout and test it youll notice it do that.
the phone isnt very happy at that clock spead and also what governor is it using when its clockeddown?

Lookout works well. And it can make your phone emit a LOUD noise as well as show the location.
 
Activated it again, see how it goes.
Wish I could just text it a code word, like Where's my Droid, but that's just preference.
