Is this supposed to just be GWS? It's not working for me. (Of course, I have the interface set to Spanish, which has occasionally kept things like "weather" from working as well.)
Other than a front page macro, is there a new feature? Obviously the Android Device Manager has been around for a long time, but could you always use it to ring your phone? I could have sworn I saw the 'ring' option on the tracking page at least several weeks ago.
We’ve all been there — you’ve searched under your car seat, tossed around the sofa cushions and you still can’t find your phone. If you know where your computer is, you can now ask Google to find your Android phone from your desktop. If the pesky phone is hiding nearby, Google can ring it for you — or you can see it on the map if you, say, forgot it at the bar. Just make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Google app installed on your device!
The ringing feature works as long as your phone has background data turned on (I think). But the location feature needs you to have location turned on as well.
EDIT: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager works fine. Just not doing anything from GWS.
