Hello, yesterday I lost my phone (a Huawei P20 Lite) after a party I barely remember. I located it and luckily it’s in my house, but it’s out of battery so it’s off, and I’ve searched absolutely everywhere in vain, impossible to find it. I would like to know if there is a way to make it ring even if it is turned off. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Think for two minutes if you can.....
You tell us..
I have no battery left

So... well... what do you think.. ??!!

And even if there was battery.... if the phone is off... well.. it’s off... so no.. nothing (except possibly the alarm) is functional.

Hi

How could you locate it if its battery is dead and it’s therefore turned off?

If you located it before the battery died, all you had to do was "call it"

???

  Certainly the android magic, phones can be located even when turned off.

  Oh really??
  
  Even when mine is on, Android 7 won't work without an Internet connection
  
  That's actually what Google says
  
  Locate a lost Android device, lock it, or erase its data
  
  If you lose your Android phone or tablet, or your Wear OS watch, you can locate it, lock it, or erase its data. If you have added a Google account to your device, the Find My Device app is turned on by default.
  
  This app will only help you find your device if the following conditions are met:
  
  The device is on.
  It is connected to a Google account.
  It is connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network.
  It is visible on Google Play.
  Location services are turned on for the device.
  The Find My Device app is turned on for the device.

  Indeed, it was not located since it was no longer with me; what I saw must have been the last place where it was located. But well, it has been found, everything is fine, and thanks again for the help.
