    Very cool. The only thing is.... the "start, find my phone" voice action doesn't seem to work. (moto 360)

      Your device may not have been updated yet. "It’s rolling out to all Android Wear devices over the next few weeks."

    Nice! Just tested it on my LG GWR.
    If I say "start..(pause)... find my phone" it does a search for "start find my phone" = failed
    If I say "start period find my phone" it runs the command "Start. Find my phone" = success
    It works but the execution is a little clunky.

      Hmm, it seems to be correctly hearing me, 'start find my phone' shows as it recognises, then it corrects itself to 'start find my iphone' and searches for that instead. Very frustrating.

      "start app find my phone" also works
      "start stopwatch" works, I think some works needs to be done about consistency of launching apps

      Nope. Google seems insistent that I've lost an iPhone. Only way it works is 'start application find my ... phone'. Natural speaking is 'corrected' for me.

    It would appear that the best way of launching the "Find my phone" app on the Moto 360 is by saying " Start Application Find my phone" at the Google "Speak now" prompt. It worked like a charm pinging my Droid Turbo!

      Thanks for sharing that bit of info. It's the same here, saying "start find my phone" doesn't work but "start app find my phone" works great. Alternatively just saying "start" will bring up the a menu where "Find my phone" is the first option.

    Cool, I always felt this was one missing feature from Android Wear. Works perfectly on my Moto 360 to ring my G3.

    'Bout time! My Gear 2 Neo had this feature. When I got the Gear Live it didn't take me long to realize that it wasn't there. I wait in eager anticipation for my update.

    I wonder if live watch faces are coming next... I miss that from my gear 2 as well. Showing people that I had the Matrix or a live pacman game on my watch was pretty darn cool.

    At first it didn't work. But I found the solution: I logged in at the online Android Device Manager on my laptop en made my phone (Samsung GS3) ring from there. It located my phone and it started ringing when I commanded it to. So that part works.
    Then I tried it again with the app on my LG G3 R and miraculously it worked there as well. Yeah!!
    Best regards from The Netherlands.

    To use this new feature, just say ‘Ok, Google. Start. Find my phone,’ or select the ‘Find my phone’ option in the Start menu. Your phone will ring at full volume, and you’ll be that much closer to, well, finding your phone.Hack Facebook Password Instantly

    Great post! Android Device Manager is an extremely useful app for tracking and finding your lost or stolen phone, and now you can use it to give a friend a helping hand when their phone is lost as well. The latest update to the app gives you a "Guest" option in the account switcher menu, which then lets a friend log into their Google Account and track their Android devices. Once logged in they can track, ring and erase their phones just as if they were using the ADM website or an installed app on another one of their devices.
