I am still searching for a borrowed Samsung Galaxy smartphone.  Please contact me if you happen to find it.  Thanks.

If it's still on (or was recently) and location services were also turned on, it can be found via Samsungs and also Google's Find My Phone feature using another phone or computer. Just need a phone number of it to start searching.  I've used it to find one of mine occasionally.

The feature you describe is only functional in the presence of three or more cellphone towers. It is the only way to obtain triangulation on the phone's signal. Anything less than three is a general guess. 

Out herein the Mattole, we have one cell tower on Rainbow Ridge.
