Method 1 to Locate lost Note 7 via Android Device Manager:

Android device manager is a service by Google for every Android phone. It allows you to perform several features on your phone remotely, even when you don’t have access to your phone. You can operate your phone to some extent using the Android device manager. It has three essential features that are as follows:

• Android Device Manager allows you to locate your device and pinpoint its location on Google Maps. It pretty much solves your problem if you want to locate a lost Note 7. The problem is that it uses an internet connection to perform this action. So if your phone is off or out of reach of the internet, then it will display its last online location and time along with the date.
• Ring: You can make your Note 7 ring using the Android device manager. For instance, you may have lost your Note 7 at home, on the sofas, or somewhere else. And to make it worse. Your phone is silent, so even if you call, you are unable to locate it. This feature will make your Note 7 ring even if it’s on silent.
• Lock: You can also lock your phone with a new passcode and display a custom message on its screen, such as “Hey, This phone is lost. Kindly contact this number to give it back.” So, if a good person finds your phone who has no intention of stealing it, he can read that message and get back to you.
• Wipe: Once you are sure that your phone is stolen and you have given up on every hope, the last thing you can do is wipe your Note 7 remotely so your pictures and data don’t get into the hands of some stranger.

Note: You can also download the Android Device Manager app from the Google Play Store and use it to locate your lost Note 7.

To Locate lost Note 7 using the Android device manager, follow the steps below:

1. Login to Android Device Manager using the same email address that you used on your Note 7 to download from the Google Play Store or the one you used for contacts or emails.
