Hi;

Found these two methods to find lost/stolen phone. Wipe it. Cause it to ring, etc.
1)
Findmymobile.samsung.com (seems to be the best and more functions)

Settings/Security/Find my mobile

Under find my mobile is"Remote Controls". Does this just allow phone to be contacted from other source????
2)
Settings/Security/Device administrators/android device manager. Not as many functions when log into https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

Which is preferred?

Bizarre. My AT&T S5 is missing find my mobile in the Samsung App store. The phone did come with ATT Mobile locate. It's also missing the stock Car Mode in settings. Instead, I have Driving Mode by ATT, which turns off he ability to talk to the phone to send custom texts when driving, if activated. "Loving" the At&t spinoff crap. Can't yet just leave the software alone?
