I keep putting my tablet down and then not be able to find it - it's usually slid off a chair arm into the cushion. Anyone got suggestions for making it beep from my phone?

Aging is awful.

  1. Key - it's in the house somewhere so just an remote alarm would help.

  4. or just the android device manager...

    a case or a holder might help (like those remote control holders you can get that slip over the arm of the couch)

  5. Set up a separate hangout account and just call it from your phone

  6. I just ordered the Sony z2 tablet from the Canex for $350. I like my Nexus 9 but couldn't pass up a waterproof 10" 3 gig ram tablet for under $400. Hopefully I made the right choice

  7. I really like mine Rhiney Maceachern. First time I've ever not replaced the stock keyboard for example :p

  8. Charles Gaines I had the Sony z3 phone for a few months and I enjoyed many things. The Canex on the base always has good deals. I'm looking fwd to the tablet and hearing your positive experience makes me think I made a good choice

  9. Push a button that beeps on your phone

  10. I vote in favor of ADM (or whatever other proprietary service your manufacturer uses). Although, there is something to be said of an attached device like a Tile, Pebble Bee, etc. if your device ever completely drains its battery. I had that happen once where my dead Nexus 7 slid under a car seat and I couldn't find it for a week. Then again, Doze mode in Marshmallow is making that scenario increasingly unlikely.

  11. Thanks for all the suggestions. I kind of wanted something like the find my phone I have between my watch and my phone since it's just around the house. I'm not really looking for something to go on the tablet.
