tried tracking my phone through android device manager. having trouble doing so.help! i lost my s3 a few days back so i tried to locate it using the android device manager. it is showing the date i last used it on but not showing where it was last used. can someone suggest me way to see its last location?
also, i was registered with androidlost even that is not able to show my last location. keeps showing the message "message successfully sent to google who will forward it when it is online".i understand my phone needs to be online for it to show the location but it also says that if its not online my last location will be shown.
I think that you can use Google instead of Android Device Manager in your particular case. Today it happened to me the very same thing that happened to you and as in your case Android Device Manager was of no use. But I typed find my phone in Google and it gave me map centered around the place where I had actually forgotten my phone. It seems the map cannot be zoomed in, but at least it can give you an hint about where the phone was before discharge.
Here's a screenshot of what I got from Google.

Better than nothing I suppose.
