Where's My Droid

This has two uses.

One is to find your phone when it is lost or stolen.

The other is to make someone else's phone turn itself up to maximum volume and then start going mental when they are in a meeting or at the library.

Where's my Droid has helped me find my phone so many times. You choose a trigger phrase, e.g. "Where's my droid?" and send it to your phone via sms.

Your Android will, depending on your settings, turn itself up to maximum volume and play an alarm signal, return sms with gps co-ordinates and start vibrating.

If you can't find it then, it is truly lost.

The second use I alluded to is to convince your friend to install this and then ask them for the trigger word...

If someone asks you for your trigger word - you have been warned.
