Find My Mobile

[OrangeBerry02]

Got the same notification this morning on my S10. Moved me to check the system working okay but when I went to Find my mobile on my laptop I was told I had no registered devices. Opted for Find My Mobile when I first got the phone last year so horrified it no longer works.

Able to find the phone on Google, so some consolation.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong ... or is this just another Samsung idea that doesn't work?

It was a mistake. Samsung acknowledge the accidental notification.

It certainly works and has done for many years. I have no idea what you may be doing wrong as I don't know what you've done. Are you logging into the same Samsung account ie in the phone and on the web?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes ... I only have the one Samsung Account. Find My Mobile is selected On as are the two options below. When I first got the phone, I think March 2019, I checked I could find it on Samsung's site ... no problems then.

If your sign into your Samsung account on the device you can use Samsung find my device which has more options.

Hmm FMM not working here (UK) I have a Samsung Account and so does my wife, it cannot find my phone and I cannot send any commands as I'm not connected to a network. There's something up!
@Mustang Can you check if yours is working, pls?

Hi Glactic Zoo

I'm UK too. Perhaps a little local problem?

 

[anon(10614692)]

Seems like it. I'll check it out again tomorrow

Update It's now working. Can you remove and reinstall your Samsung account booting your phone before you reinstall and then set up Find My Phone

I got that same notification this morning and was confused, as well. So relieved that this was a mistake. Thank you for letting us know!

No good for you ? Are you in the US ?
Mines working.

 

[Adam Frix]

yeah, in the US.

I solved it by removing my Samsung account completely and re-adding it. Weird.

 

[mustang7757]

Probably some glitch like how it sent the false notifications last night from find my mobile
