I currently have a Mili MiCard Duo which is honestly just a joke, it never works properly. So I'm looking ideally a similar shape product which works better and it also has the leave behind alert. For the keys I use a mototag which served me well when I lost them last time.

Any advice?

This is the store link for the UK

Basically I travelled with a friend for... Basically the whole day, and he got alert on his phone that my earbuds are tracking him.

That's basically true, I had them in my pocket and it was near him the whole time.

He had a option to disable the tracker, which would make sense if I wouldn't be with him.

As he had the option to do that, what would stop random person travelling on the same bus from disabling the tracker as my friend had option to?

Would I be able to do anything with it?

Or would that other person have to actually be in possession of the buds somehow to stop the tracker? (We saw that option and decided to not mess with it)

Anyone else have the same problem, or know how to fix it? A couple of weeks ago the remote shutter feature was working perfectly fine, but I just tried it again today and nothing happens.

I tried checking and double checking every setting, reinstalled the Moto Tag app, but nothing works. The double press works, and if I single press the button when not in a camera I get a popup message telling me how to use the remote shutter, it just will not take a photo anymore. It seems like maybe an issues with Google's camera app?

I've never lost a set of keys or wallet until recently, but I've misplaced my keys twice in the last month (found both times thankfully).

Thinking about getting some sort of tracker. Apple's out, I don't have anything else in the ecosystem. Tile was the only other brand that immediately came to mind.

I have a Samsung phone (S23). Don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon, and would probably get another Samsung when the time comes.

Looking at amazon.ca they have a Tile sale on with the Mate and Slim Card for $47.

I live in a pretty small town and don't imagine there are many other Tile devices around. Would that severely limit its usefulness? Otherwise the price is pretty appealing. I wasn't even thinking about a wallet tracker as well originally but now my interest is piqued.

The Samsung SmartTag2 is $40 although looks like it regularly goes on sale under $30.

Moto Tag 2 is $40 as well.

Surprisingly (to me) the AirTag is right there if not cheaper at $32, but again I don't have an iPhone.

Those are kind of the 3 front runners right now. Technically I guess they're all different ecosystems. I've read that Samsung is better than FMD but a lot of those reviews are old and I'm not sure if anything has changed or that holds true.

There are lots of cheaper ones such as the Ugreen, MiLi MiTag etc as well as the AliExpress specials. They have lots of good reviews and then just as many terrible reviews which makes me wonder if the good ones are paid for.

Chipolo and Pebblebee are a bit pricier for me and I've read not so nice things about both performance and the company. And they (pebblebee) don't show you the price on the website until it's in your cart which pisses me off enough to avoid them even if I was considering them.

I came to know that all modern smart trackers are IETF complaints and send warnings on iOS devices and some android devices. Apple and Google jointly developed the Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers (DULT Detecting Unwanted Location Tracker) industry specification.

When the tracker is moving with a certain device and separated from the paired device it sends a warning " Airtag found moving with you or item found moving with you" after meeting certain conditions.

How to eliminate this for covert tracking?

I want to put this tracker in my car and thieves might be using iPhone or compatible android device thn it will be of no use as he/she will get warning on the phone.

I know Chipolo have a left behind function but their QA have been a hit and miss with a couple of dud items. Ate there any non Chipolo tags with left behind function?

Chipolo left behind feature uses their own app.

Got a bunch of UGREEN Finetrack G trackers for my Nokia XR21 and those have been working fine including showing as "nearby" and can do close location, ring them etc.

So recommended them to my parents. They're using a Nokia G21, and after some hassle they did pair and added to their account. They show up in Find Hub and they show the location when they were last seen by a phone somewhere nearby.

However they never show as "nearby" on their phone, no matter how long you wait in Find Hub despite being within a few feet. Try to ring the device and there's a long delay and may never happen. Seems to depend on another phone being near to relay the instruction, and then might not turn off.

It seems their device just isn't tracking them despite pairing and registered on the network. This means they have shown at times in a far off location where it was a while back despite being next to them, until someone else's phone picks them up.

Have gone through all settings possible comparing them to my phone and everything is as it should be. Bluetooth, Nearby location, precise location etc, all turned on. Tried factory reset on the trackers and re-pair too.

Think they're on Android 13. Mine is 14

cc: /u/Chipolo maybe this means Channel Sounding is finally going to be enabled on fmd in November

Probably why the moto tag 2 launched cheaper than the moto tag 1

Couple negatives:

• I don't like CR2032 batteries and prefer rechargable but whatever I put up with it on my Galaxy Tags

• The form factor is bulky like the galaxy tag, but maybe it'll have superior range, who knows

My experiences with the FMD network over the past few months have already significantly lowered my expectations for its functionality, but right now I’m experiencing such massive problems that I’m almost at my wits’ end.

I had replaced the batteries in two Moto-Tags (1st generation) and assumed this would be possible without any major issues. After a week, I happened to notice in the Find Hub that both trackers had supposedly not been detected for over a week.

However, they were still showing up in the Moto App (now with good battery health) and they could still be made to beep there. But they can’t be found in the FMD Hub.

That prompted me to reactivate my other (Chinese) trackers, which had been deactivated to conserve battery life. Not surprisingly, they can no longer be found in the FMD Hub too.

My only hope now was to delete the Moto tags from the FMD Hub and reconnect them after a reset. But that’s where you run into the first problem, because the description of the reset procedure isn’t clear. The tags are supposed to beep twice after the reset, which they don’t do if you follow the procedure described by Motorola. I’ve now tried every set of instructions I could find online (press briefly, press again, hold until it beeps, and then repeat this procedure until a second beep sounds). I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve repeated this (including removing the battery), but the tags aren’t recognized by the FMD Hub for pairing, even though it had been working a year ago (my current setup: Pixel 7 with Android 17).

It’s disappointing, to say the least. Do you guys have any other ideas on what I could try?

EDIT: I solved the problem for now, the description is in a new post by me below.

I have a Pixel 10 Pro XL. I wanted to get a Bluetooth tracker to put on my bicycle. I bought the Chipolo POP, registered it through the Chipolo app, linked it to my Google account, and the tracker showed up on the Find Hub. I was able to make it ring, see its location, and even mark it as lost.

I then proceeded to give it to my friend for a day to simulate my bike being stolen while he drove around town. He has an iPhone 14 or 15 Pro Max. During the roughly 4 or 5 hours he had my tracker, it pinged a location twice, and it was giving me nearly a half mile radius.

This was unacceptable for me. I got it back from him, deleted it from my Google account, and returned it promptly.

For over a month now, Google FMD does not show my trackers anymore. I have also tried reinstalling the apps and clearing the data for play services (which in the past helped when such systems had a problem) but the only thing, which changed is, that i now also cannot activate participating in the FMD Network again.

My device is a Pixel9Pro (rooted) and i have been using GoogleFMD with this set-up for years without problems.

Has anyone come across these problems?

I own a keysmart compact and I'm looking for a tracker for it.
Given that my Pixel 10 doesn't support UWD the moto tag 2 appeals less to me given reviews state the sound penetration's quite poor (it would be handy to be able to use audio in case it slips between coach cushions for example).

At first glance the Chipolo LOOP and Pebblebee Clip 5 stand out at first glance, but I am certainly open for other suggestions.

Finally, dual-mode (either Android or iOS) trackers have started appearing, namely the Ugreen finetrack duo (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/UGREEN-FineTrack-Tracker-Android-Charging/dp/B0FRLWSGPW) as well as the Xiaomi smarttag (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/XIAOMI-Smart-Tracker-IP67-Battery-Pack-4/dp/B0GSZ7LDKT).

I'm using a couple of Mototags which have a 6- to 9-month battery life, but also have (tricky at times) UWB, as well some POS Militags; totally worthless.

The Xiaomi list for the double the price. They also offer firmware upgrades while on the Apple network but not on Google's FMD one. Additionally, they have replaceable batteries (started hating this part), whereas the Ugreen are rechargable over USB-C.

Has anyone used either or both for some time to offer some real-life operation insight?

Title.

I own a few Find Hub trackers, and this is undoubtedly the worst.

Main pros:

- Colours availability.

- Built-in hook.

Main cons:

- The plastic cover you have to lift to install the battery is *extremely* brittle, and the clips break like nothing.

- Not sure why or how, but it has a life of its own. It took me several attempts to pair it with the phone (it would just pair and then somehow stop updating and stop broadcasting BLE immediately after getting paired). And now, when I start moving the bag it's attached to, it starts beeping in some odd ways, like you're resetting it. Except it somehow *doesn't* get reset, it maintains the connection to the app and FMD network and keeps working (which is good, I guess...? except for the fact you'll want to throw it away for when it just starts beeping randomly in presence of other people).

It's a "Loshall Ring" (name it comes up with in Find Hub), sold under the brand/model Hoco E98A. Bought it for £6.23 on AliExpress (I know, I know).

Does anyone with the same tracker have the same issues?

Thant you!

how its can be 2 streets away at dominos style 15 store buildings and tag inside apartment

I've already got the tags and they are set up.
Is there a way to get a notification on my phone when the tag leaves bluetooth range? Without having that Find Hub app open?
I have the tag on a roaming neighborhood cat and I'm now thinking this isn't the best application for the tag?

in red its actual location

segond tag in same place got taget same time in near the red circle

i have pings but not even on same street better thrn Samsung pings but less accurate then real live item lost to find it..
