That's a lot of calories to start the day with!

Good advert for Samsung's S8 phone.

Kids took the wife's S8 phone out to use as a hotspot so they could play Pokémon Go while taking the dog for a walk.

They dropped it!

Since we've had a good 3-4 inches they couldn't find it and went home crying there little hearts out. So Sister in law went out with the eldest to look. After 3 hours of searching and me (from work) using the Google Locate my phone service we could narrow the search to a field they found it! Best of all it's still working fine lol. So 3hrs in the Cold and Wet and the phone survive its ordeal

That's a Google feature, my Windows phone had that too (through Microsoft device locator).

I used Find my iPhone to fine a phone that was left on a car roof, and flew off while on the interstate - it was still working the next day.

One time my son and Father-in-Law was traveling back from another town. My son was in the back seat, watching Netflix, with the window down. Next thing you know, the phone gets sucked out the window. Father-in-law makes the block around to try to find the phone. He has OnStar on his truck and called us from it to help him find it. I go out with my phone and laptop, turn on my hotspot and Google Tracker to help find his phone. Narrowed it down to half a field. Come to find out, his truck was parked right on the phone. The only thing damaged was the otter box.
