    I highly doubt that's possible, unless maybe you have NSA skillz.

    I reported to Luas an issue with possible thieves on Green line Luas last Friday but never heard back. Watch your belongings.

    Im not sure it works turning on the phone but with the Android find my phone - https://www.google.com/android/find?u=0 it will ring at full volume. Might be worth a try.

    Unfortunately there's not much you can do without the phone powered on then. Keep trying it to see if somebody tries to use it

    At this stage any smartphone battery is almost definitely run flat.

    If the phone wasn't found and switched off by someone I'd doubt it's going to power on now without someone finding it and recharging it first.

    It was a full battery. Not holding onto much hope in finding it

    Can call the network and have your IMEI number blocked? Although it could still work in the U.S I guess if someone picked it up.

    It probably doesn't matter, but what phone was it?
