Nokia WS-2 Treasure Tag Proximity Sensor with Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC Tagging Compatible with Nokia Lumia Devices - Cyan

I bought this product as a bit of an experiment. I have a Lumia 925 and when I saw this I was immediately tempted. The app and functionality of the product seemed like a great combination.As a product, for me it gets 5 stars for both concept and execution. It really is a fully functional product, works well and the concept is a great one. I'm always putting my keys down when I get home and always seem to have trouble finding them the next day, so something like this looked brilliant. The unit itself is solid, attractive and easy to pair with my phone and setup.So what's the problem? Well, essentially as other reviewers have pointed out, even a 5 star concept executed so well doesn't actually mean the product will work in the real world. Whenever I put my keys down and walked to another room or if I was in the office just walked away from my desk, the app and tag go a bit mental and vibrate a lot. The added sound alarm is also very good when trying to find the tag, but when it goes off the minute you go a few feet from the tag it gets annoying quickly.So I ended up turning off the sound part and just using the vibrate, but even that got tiresome. It just became more of a nuisance than the benefit it provided, so I've since just removed it from the app and now it's just an expensive item on my key chain. What would be better is if it didn't bother reminding you when you're moving away from it, but just gave you the option to vibrate it or sound the alarm when you're looking for the item. It does this, but not without the constant warnings when you leave it!It may seem odd that I am still giving it 4 stars, but in my mind as a product there really isn't much wrong with it, and if you use it correctly, it does actually prove effective. But if you're like me and I suspect most people, it's a nice novelty party trick you can show off to friends and colleagues, but that's about it.

It works, but range inside your average property is not good enough for me. I have my phone in my pocket and my keys in the door. I live in a small flat and even through one single brick wall (less than 10ft line of sight), my phone asks me if I had left my keys behind.Also random disconnects even when keys in one pocket and phone in another. I got the black one and after 2 days in my pocket with keys, it is scratched badly. The button on the device does not need much pressure to activate the 'find my phone' feature and often goes off when just walking, or sitting.Disconnected it and now sits in a drawer - maybe I'll try it on holiday in a case or something. But for everyday use on a keyring, not for me - and I love gadgets.

great little tag for finding very local items . This though is not a tracker in the true sense of the word and has a range of at best 30 meters . however its good to see you get a reminder to your phone if you left anything behind attached to the tag and its also good where you can search the map showing where it last was found . Automatically regains the link once you get close to it where you can then get it to give an audible warning . For the price its a good buy provided you don't expect it to operate like a tracker which is satellite monitored over big distances like a satnav

This tag seems to work ok for a few hours then starts to intermittently lose connection with the tag, creating false alarms that you may have left it behind. Annoyingly you can only change the settings when it is connected to the tag but you are only alerted when it has lost the connection, meaning you cannot stop it repeating. Then, after a while, the software seems to corrupt itself and loses the tag altogether even if you place it right next to the phone, press the button or rub the NFC areas together. The only way you can get it working again is to delete and re-add the tag. Sometimes you also get a helpful error message saying 'something went wrong'. Really.It is prone to wake you up in the middle of the night or to go off during a meeting even when the tag and right next to each other. The NFC pairing, apart from being of marginal use is very hit and miss. You are better off using the button. For this reason it is probably better to get the mini version of this without NFC if you still really want it.It still looks cool and generates questions from friends who see it on a key ring. Rubberised loop for connecting to key ring is a poor design because tag is too easy to detach.Nokia markets this as 'never lose your valuables again'. Because of the software crashing issue forcing you to re-add the tag before you can find it, which is no help if you have lost it, this is alas not true.

Fantastic little gadget!I found this device worked well. Pairing is easy if you have an NFC enabled phone. In my case I'm using it with a Nokia Lumia (but it does also work with iPhone's and Android handsets), and the only challenge was remembering which part of the back of my handset the NFC-spot was in!You can of course pair this using standard Bluetooth setup, and the included leaflet outlines how to pair.After pairing the companion Treasure Tag app handles set-up, guiding you through naming your tag, and asking whether you want to enable alerts if you 'lose' your tag. After that - you're done.Assuming you /don't/ accidentally leave your tagged item behind then this thing will just fade into the background, but if you do then the tag will emit a loud alert tone, and your phone will alert too. You can also use the app to manually 'ring' the tag - just in case you're still connected to the tag but it's fallen out of view!So far I've found it to work pretty reliably. Nokia Lumia users should be sure to update their phone to Windows Phone 8.1, and the Nokia 'Cyan' firmware update to get the best experience. iPhone and Android users - be sure your phone supports the 'Bluetooth LE' profile and that you have the latest updates, you'll find the treasure tag app in your app store!.
