Forgot your phone at home or you can’t find it? Or worse, it slipped out of your
pocket while riding the train. Use Dashboard to communicate with your phone so you
can forward calls and messages to a different number, make your phone ring, lock
your phone, and even erase the contents of your phone.
Turning on Phone finder
Most features of Dashboard require that the Phone finder option on your phone is
selected.
On your phone, from the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap
Settings

Select the
Phone finder
check box.
Forwarding calls and messages

with you.
On your computer, open your web browser and sign in to your HTCSense.com
account.

forwarded to.

Making your phone ring
You know your phone is somewhere in your home but you just can’t find it. Make your
phone ring, even if it’s on mute, so you can find it. Hopefully, it’s just buried under
some clothes in the hamper.
