my Xperia locate problem

[Laeraneth]

Hello!

I figured since I had the brand new phone, I should set up the my Xperia thing so that if it's stolen or lost I can find it, just as it advises.

Well... the 'locate' function doesn't report where it is. In fact, it thinks it's about 230 miles away, next to a reservoir... in the back end of nowhere... apparently.

I assume there's something wrong with the setup of it and that this can be fixed, otherwise I sure hope I never lose it!

Does anyone know what the issue might be?...

I have a problem with this also, in that probably 90% of the time I have tried it, it says it's unable to locate it and will email me when they find it, an email is yet to come afterwards.

I personally turned the "my Xperia" option off and just use the "standard" Google device manager (www.android.com/devicemanager/).  I don't know if there are any Xperia specific features, but I didn't notice any over and above what Google already offer and that works for me.  It's also one less thing for my phone to do in the background.

Just tried mine and is very accurate.
