What do you do when you can’t find your phone? You call it with another phone. But what if you then remember that you put your phone in silent mode… As usual on Android, someone has come up with an interesting solution to this problem.
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 via audio notification so they know where to look. The app has to be enabled from its Settings screen. Whistle Phone Finder is customizable. Besides temporarily enabling and disabling it easily , you can configure a set of options. For instance, you can set whistle sensitivity to low, medium or high.
Sensitivity affects how prone the device should be to the background noise. For example , if set to High, your phone may often wake up even by birds chirping or similar background noise. Apart from sensitivity, you can also set notification sound either from the built in choices or a custom file from your device. The application comes packaged with various notification sounds including discreet, noisey, horrable, revert and a few others. 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. This application 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… Meaning you may have to whistle while moving all over the house! Visit the play store link to grab your copy here.
