Find Phone relies on some features provide by Android Device Administration API, e.g. Erase all data (allows you to erase all data when you cannot get your lost device back), Monitor screen-unlock attempts (allows you to take photos of the people who attempts to unlock your device but failed), etc.Failed to locate my device?AirDroid cannot provide you with the location of your device? The location of your device is not correct?
Please follow the following troubleshooting steps:
