I spent a couple of hours looking for it in all the obvious places, like behind sofa cushions, in the garbage can, everywhere in the house I had been (or might have been but forgot) since I last used the phone, but failed to find it. Normally in that situation I would call it or use Google's Find Device feature to make the phone ring, but the phone's battery had died before I realized that it was lost. I knew it was inside my home because I remembered using it after I got home. I lost a brand new Android phone recently inside my own home. (I'm writing this in part because I tried to Google variations of "how to find a lost phone with dead battery" and among all the articles in the search results that I clicked on, didn't see anyone write up this technique that I later figured out myself.) Find Node devices do not indicate the exact location of the lost device.Or, wow, it's crazy how much Google knows about me.To register a device as a Find Node, you need to agree to allow the use of your location information and the Privacy Notice.To use SmartThings Find, ‘Allow this phone to be found’ in Find My Mobile settings must be turned on. You can also locate lost devices using the SmartThings Find feature within the SmartThings app.The connected phone or tablet’s Offline finding settings will also be applied to your Galaxy Watch and Buds. The Offline Finding feature for your Galaxy Watch and Buds can be enabled within the Galaxy Wearable app.Additional devices will be added in the future.

Offline finding is currently supported on Galaxy smartphones and tablets with at least Android 8, Galaxy Watch3, Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch5, and Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and all types of Galaxy SmartTag series.
