Root Phone Location

[Tyseyh]

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.

lookout (plan b is part of the lookout team)

Im using lookout. Just wish I could remote wipe

 

[Tyseyh]

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

 

[Rastaman-FB]

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?

 

[Tyseyh]

Never noticed it, it's always "On Demand"

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.
