Definitely interested in more info about the new types of trackers and differences - been waiting for these for SO long.

I got the Chipolo card when I ordered an Ekster wallet 3 years ago. The app was pretty intuitive and the card worked pretty good reminding me if I left my wallet in the house and wasn't near my phone. The size of the card was maybe 2 credit cards thick, so it would fit nicely in most wallets. My main complaint was that the card had a solar panel, and after about a year, the battery wouldn't keep a charge making it useless since there was no way to open up the card. I looks like they got rid of the solar panel and went with a bigger battery now.

Have you managed to get these to work outside the range of your phone? For me (and seemingly many others online) it only works when within range of your own Bluetooth? (yes all the software is updated, Bluetooth/GPS/WiFi on, location settings enabled etc!)

[@_Caddac]

Yes, mine have been working fine so far. I purposefully left one about 2 hours away at my parents place and it's showing the location accurately.

[@graw1892]

​​@@_Caddacgood to know it works...I assume you are in USA (or Canada)? I haven't found anyone in the UK for whom this works 😭

[@_Caddac]

@graw1892 I'm in Canada. Did whomever you were asking make sure they had the newest version of Find My Device? As far as I'm aware is slowly rolling out to other countries.

[@graw1892]

@@_Caddac yes, tried on friends' phone, all software up to date. Various threads online suggest it's not working in the UK yet...

[@_Caddac]

That's what I'm saying though. The UK may not have the newest find my device network version yet.

[@scotthogle425]

While I'm not an expert, I think there's one part of your video that's wrong. As I understand it, the "Find your offline devices" settings correspond to how your phone is going to participate in the network, not the trackers. Google has "With network in high-traffic areas only" as the default and I think this is the reason the network is performing so poorly when people try to locate their lost trackers. With the "High-traffic areas only setting" your phone won't be used to locate a lost tracker that it's discovered unless other phones have also discovered the tracker - this apparently is a user privacy feature. Apple, by contrast, does not have this limitation and it only takes one phone to locate a lost tracker. As before, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure my understanding is correct and while some people are hopeful Google's network will improve with time I'm not too optimistic unless Google makes a change and eliminates the "High-traffic areas only setting" and takes the same approach that Apple does.

[@_Caddac]

From my understanding, the setting controls both how your phone participates in the network to help find lost devices but also how your device seeks help as well. I agree that it would be beneficial if it was the default setting but I think they're doing it as a rare privacy setting. The nice thing is that it does pop up and prompt you to decide when you first set up the new find my device network.

Why are all these "review" videos not actually reviewing how the products work. Not seen one real world test yet in all the videos I have seen. Everyone does the home test which no one is buying these for, we need to see how they work when things are actually lost.
