Lost my xperia tipo

Hi,

I had bought a Sony Experia Tipo in march this year. I bought it from Nasik, India. I lost it today at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Can it be traced since the internet was on through Wifi?

Regards,

Shruti G Dubey

This isnt helping. The Wi Fi was on. The last time it was available was 25th is what the Device manager says which is untrue.

I'm sorry but there isn't other way to help you, as the phone has to be on and data/wifi too

Devices that are offline or powered off

If your device is offline, Android Device Manager won’t be able to ring, lock, or erase the device until there’s a mobile data or Wi-Fi connection. Select any of the options in advance, and the action will be performed once the device is back online.

Android Device Manager won’t work for devices that are powered off.

Devices hidden on Google Play

If you hide a device on Google Play, the device won’t appear in Android Device Manager. You can hide or show devices on Google Play by going to play.google.com/settings and selecting a device in the Visibility column.
