Find My Device and Tracker

w00ter

Guess I'll be walking around with two phones from now on :-\

w00ter i know it's not the best solution....

I can't seem to find a GitHub issue for this, unless I'm not looking hard enough.
Would it be worth opening a GitHub issue for FMD scanning so we can track progress/see an official answer from the team?

w00ter

joeth yes please?

Can this please be considered? There currently is no good alternative to these new trackers with UWB support and it's a pain to have to use another device to link these to my account. I can still ring them but not locate them. At least the ability to check if their nearby would be appreciated. It's currently not possible to set it up using GOS.

Ordered a Pixel Watch 3 with UWB support. I hope to be able to use that to track my Moto tag on FMD.

The things you do for love of GOS :-p

Yes I too just got 4 Moto tags which I'm unable to pair to my phone.

On a related note - they seem to require pairing via 'fast pairing' -- which also seems to be non-operational on GOS.

they most annoying part is, I could have sworn I got one to pair when I got it out of the box - I backed out because I thought I'd like to link it to another account and have since been unable to pair. I was only paying half attention so maybe I'm imagining that it paired...

I feel like perhaps the right settings in the right places could resolve the issue, but so far I've had no luck

Pixel Watch 3 with UWB support does not pickup my tags either. I was hoping FMD would run standalone on WearOS5 but it still relies on my GrapheneOS phone :-(

This is likely a shortcoming of Google FMD and not GOS.

I have opened an issue on the issue tracker here: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/4079

Hey everyone,

After last GOS Android 15 update and/or GMS related updates by the GOS team, I can confirm this now works on my side.

Moto Tags in Find My Device can now be located and tracked.

I also noticed a toggle 'allow bluetooth scanning' alongside WiFi scanning, that may have already been there, so make sure to enable.

Thank you GrapheneOS !

w00ter could you please share your settings and permissions that you used? I can't pair with my P8P.

w00ter

Whatnoww Correction: my tags can be tracked now, but unfortunately not paired. So we still need a 2nd non-GOS phone to pair and link to a google account.

What do i need to change to have it working? My Second Phone has my Chipolo ONE Point added but i cant let it ring nor locate on my GOS P7. I have the Play services with following permissions: Near devices, Location (always).

Shrunk836 Location doesn't need to be enabled for Play Services. Find My needs nearby devices enabled.

Shrunk836

Whatnoww had both. I also can ping the tag but don't get location.
