Just hold the power, volume, and bixby buttons down, restart to recovery (or maybe bootloader, I can't recall atm), then you can power off the phone from there.īut yes, Google's find device is embarrassingly barebones.Īnd the fact that when you open the app, the service automatically "locates" the first device in the list of devices in your account is really dumb. Android provides a couple of convenient options that help you keep safe without finding your device. That all being said, you can still power off a samsung phone even though the power menu requires you to unlock the phone to take action. If you have more than one device: At the top of the sidebar, select the lost device. To nitpick Google's even more, they need to have an option to not broadcast to a phone "THIS DEVICE WAS LOCATED USING FIND DEVICE" which essentially means "THE UNSCRUPULOUS PERSON THAT FOUND OR STOLE THIS DEVICE THAT HAS NO INTENTIONS OF RETURNING IT, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS LOOKING FOR THEIR PHONE, SO PLEASE TURN IT OFF TO KEEP THEM FROM FINDING IT." Depending on your device, you may have to go to System before you see the About Phone section. Next, scroll down and select About Phone. I agree that Samsung's find phone feature is way better than Google's find device feature. First, swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice depending on your phone or tablet’s manufacturer) to open the notification shade, then tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
