Okay it doesn't happen often, but when it does what steps do you suggest to take? I am in this situation now. We have searched high and low and at this point we consider it gone forever. The problem is my phone contained phone numbers, emails, applications with personal information. When we call the number it goes directly to voice mail so the battery has died.
What do you suggest... Give us some ideas and be thankful it didn't happen to you.

Since It's Android you would be able to get atleast your phone numbers. Since there syncedwith gmail contacts (think It's enabled by default)

There isn't much more too do. Maybe send a text to the phone so if someone switch it on, they will see your text.

There are apps for these situations, I've seen couples of them on market.

Re-count your steps from the moment you lost it.

I once left my phone on top of my car and drove off and half way home I realised i'd lost it so I turned around and sure enough it was sitting in the gutter with the back off it. Still worked though.

If I lost my phone, I'd use my other phone.

Have you tried calling it, asking people where they saw you with it last, going back to the places you know you had it, etc?

The following words can be found in the description of this question (of course I punctuated it properly):

"When we call the number, it goes directly to voice mail; so the battery has died."

Oops. I should stop trying to answer comments after a wake and bake.

@Justin: That is really appropriate to be commenting...........

You really shouldn't do that. You are up allowed to make your own choices however I believe that the rest of the community agrees with me when I say that you should stop destroying your body and mind.

The only reason I know what it means is from a Google Search.
