Precise location for Samsung products like the Galaxy Ring

[Robin621k]

Two weeks ago I misplaced my Galaxy Ring, I used Samsung's Find app to try to locate it to no avail. The find app will only give you last seen. It was still at my address. 

Yes, I can blink the lights in the ring to locate it if falls anywhere that you can see the lights. This was not the case in my situation. I must of tried a hundred times, nothing.. I knew it was in my kitchen somewhere, I take it off when I'm washing dishes. I went over every inch of my kitchen, nothing. I gave up after about 10 days. I figured it must have fell between the sink and the wall (just enough of gap for this to happen, 140 yr old apartment) it's a goner. 

 Every time I come home and I get close to the kitchen my ring pops up in my battery widget with less and less battery. It's now at 10%.

Then on day 10 this happened, I was cleaning under my espresso machine, low and behold my ring, YAY. I have no clue how it ended up there. 

Moral of this story, Samsung needs to put UWB chips in all their expensive products for precise location tracking. Last seen is not enough!

Glad you found it!

UWB is a big need! Would also like to see Find Hub integration across the board. Relying solely on Samsung devices when a broader network of devices is available is a limiting factor!

This is true, I use both. To locate my phone I use Find Hub. Why do you ask, a loud "RING TONE" I can hear it everywhere in my apartment! Samsung find not so much tone is terrible. There needs to be a setting to change it.

This is a screenshot of my buds closed right under my phone, Samsung Find useless when case is closed!

On the bright side, hey, you got a 10 day battery life out of it. 😁

It wasn't doing anything except when I was blinking the lights.
