Locate Your Smartphone By Just Whistling
Some days back we have seen a post in which you can answer your phone call using a whistle. This was one of the best app i had came across. It made me think what can be the next thing that we gonna get. There are many such apps using which you can customize your smartphone. Similarly, i came across one app in which you can locate your phone using a whistle. Whistle Phone Finder is a free app that can help you find your misplaced smartphone by simply whistling at it, giving you clues to its location. When using the app, users can find their device by whistling loudly and it will respond back via audio notification so that you know where to look.
All you have to do is to install the app and enable it from the setting. Its customization is not that hard. You can configure a set of options. For instance, you can set whistle sensitively between low, medium and high.
The app is a bit sensitivity. If you set the device to High, your phone may often wake up even by birds chirping or similar background noise. Though the app has many default notification sounds you can also assign notification sound with the one you want. Other than that, you can also tap ‘Use High Audio Volume’ option for using maximum media volume for notification even when the device is set to silent mode. When Whistle Phone Finder is enabled, an active notification icon appears in the notification panel. You can tap it to open the app directly from there.
Now the bad thing. The app needs to run in the background all the time in order to constantly listen to your whistle, which will definitely consume more battery. The app also doesn’t hear you if you’re far away from your device. And there’s also no way to disable its notification icon from the Settings screen, which the developers needs to work on.
I tried installing it on my Galaxy S4. It worked fine when the phone was near to me. But when the phone is like in other room and if m whistling from another room, it fails to hear my whistle. Its obvious that the app wont listen something from the far distance. But you neber know where you have kept your phone.
So guys just give it a try and let me know your views in the commet sections.
