Are you always losing your crap? You might need this. The original Samsung smart tag was good, but the new Samsung SmartTag2 improves on almost everything. However, there are a few cons, see if a smart tag is right for you!

Great video. Thank you.👍

[@techgadgets100]

Thank you for the kind comment ☺️

[@fredtippett670]

Great video, thanks. A question.... these new SmartTag2's make an unsolicited 3 beep randomly. It frightens my 2 dogs. Our previous SmartTag+ units did not. Is there a setting I need to change to turn it off? Any suggestions?

[@techgadgets100]

I have a few of these tags and have not had that issue so far- but it appears to be an issue for these smart tags. Some recommendations, take the battery out and make sure nothing inside the tag, change the battery, reset and re-pair to your phone. If none of this works then it could be defective. Hope that helps!

[@jayCorby-nb7fl]

Does work good for travel , lost suitcases

[@techgadgets100]

I have not used it for that, but I know that is one of the main reasons people get this device.

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

How do you make it beep we dropped it at great wolf lodge and cant find it need it to make sounds

[@techgadgets100]

Have fun! We Loved Great Wolf Lodge.

I bought a four pack. There are four QR codes on the back of the box. How do I know which QR codes correspond to each Smart Tag 2?

[@techgadgets100]

I could be wrong but I dont think you can. Why would you need that info? As far as I know, the QR code just directs you to download the Smartthings app.

[@aram9392]

Is the left behind function snappy enough i.e notifiy when you leave something at cafe or home before you get in the car and drive?

[@techgadgets100]

I think so. Mine would go off every time I left house, less than a block away. Also activate the lost feature, so someone can contact you if they find it.

[@hollycow8171]

can i put it in kids bag so it will track her current location where she go?

[@techgadgets100]

Yes, but remember sometimes location information is delayed if no Samsung devices nearby

[@docpalazola491]

The camera feature on the SmartTag2 does not work on Samsung Galaxy S24 series; Samsung is working on a fix for this....but who knows when that will be.

[@simcoeskies2659]

Nothing like sinking a flagship.

[@AdventuresPlanned]

So what if i put this on my dogs collar and they get stolen or run off.. will this tag be able to locate their location even if they arent near?

[@techgadgets100]

Yes, the tracker just has to be near ANY samsung phone. You will get location data but it will all be anonymous. Only issue is if your dog runs off into very unpopulated area where there are no Samsung phones. You can also turn on the "lost mode" feature, so you can be alerted if someone finds your dog.

[@gcea123]

Do the Samsung phones that the device ends up near to have to have on Bluetooth?

[@techgadgets100]

@@gcea123 Yes, but I think most if not all phones have Bluetooth on. The phone it is near does not have to be paired or connected to your tag in any way though. Samsung handles all the connections anonymously.

[@charlesk46563]

I shut my bluetooth off on my phone, and it still tracks it. I have the tag2 and a s24+ ( only works on s24÷ and above ) with wide band bluetooth. Seems like with bluetooth off buds or other devices don't work, but the wide band stays on, but in airplane mode, it does not work. If you don't have a phone wide ban bluetooth, don't buy the tag 2 if you can still find a tag1. With the wide band tracker it kinda works, I was probably almost 1000 feet away, and it picked the tracker up. But it does not give you a direction to where it is. It's kinda like hot potato tells if you are getting closer or farther away, and not until you get about 50 feet away, does the meter circle change. But around the house it works great, I could not find my car keys so I turned on the beeper, could hear it in the bedroom but still could not find, so I turned on find tag and I found it, I had knocked the keys of the night stang and they were between night stand and the wall. So if your phone has wide band bluetooth it's worth the extra money.

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Ok so seriously im hunting how to make the tag beep i cant find my tag

[@techgadgets100]

sorry for the delay. You probably already found it but just i case, go to smart tags app- devices- click on your device- then at the top click "view map"- then at bottom you can search nearby, navigate to it if you are not close, and then when you get close it will give you the option to ring it.

[@arnoldcsernak8518]

Bought one yesterday just in case to see if any mechanics using my car while sits there

[@techgadgets100]

Maybe you should just your car to a mechanic you trust 🤔

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

So im not always loosing my child and certainly isnt crap,lol, talks crap, but hes not...anyways, thinking of usen this sorta like a warning buzzer type thing with it in the waterproof wrist band thing at the waterpark were going to next week. Figured if we're in same room,big room yes waterpark room, but with 100s of other ppl w theyre galaxy phones in theyre little waterproof cases in the pool on slides n stuff, and my hisband and i both have our phones the tag should ping well for us to just use to buzz our kid n let him know like when to come back to our spot in the room, or if we do loose him in there we can make it buzz so he knows we're looking for him...idk worth a try see if it works.

[@ryanhanna2975]

I set mine up and it says my kid is at home when he's at school. I dont know what I did wrong

[@techgadgets100]

Not sure. You can manually refresh the location. But the tag does need other Samsung phones nearby to relay the location information to you

[@josephpickard3108]

I'm sorry but these tags are crap. REALLY disappointed at the money I wasted buying these.

[@techgadgets100]

Sorry about your experience. What was the issue with your device?

[@josephpickard3108]

@techgadgets100 they simply don't track as accurately as an AirTag. The tech in principle is good but too reliant on having Samsung users nearby at all times. If you have a dog that you need to track, get an AirTag

[@brentwatts6130]

​@josephpickard3108 I'm just looking into these. What's the difference with the air-tag and the Samsung tag? You can only use air-tag with apple right and not android?

[@techgadgets100]

@@brentwatts6130 100% right, if you have Samsung phones than get these, if you have apple phones then get air tags. You cant change this but also keep in mind if you are in a location that has more Apple phones than the airtags will work better because the tag get get more accurate data, reverse is true if you are in an area with more Samsungs. Google is launching the "find my device" 3rd parties make the tags but any android phone/ device can be used to help locate the tag. I wish it was more universal but thats what it is for now.

[@techgadgets100]

@@josephpickard3108 True, these devices need "like" phones nearby to get accurate location.
