Android Device Manager is one of the best tools to find your lost Android phone and tablet. You can use Android Device Manager application from Play Store instead of web based version to find other Android devices now. Of course, you need to have another Android device in order to use it. Just like my example, I am using Nexus 7 (2013) to track Galaxy S4.

Finally, Google Nexus 5 is here. As usual, it is available for certain countries at launch. More country after that. And expected, it was sold out within hours. I did not manage to grab one in Malaysia (not so soon based on Nexus 4 situation).
