That's odd. It works fine on my Edge.

Have you tried unchecking support and protection and them checking Device Manager?

I think you need to temporarily disable your lock screen if I remember correctly. Or enable it. I forget which.

What were you using for the lock screen? I'm still trying to remember, but I'm getting old. I think you may have needed a pin lock. (I think I'm getting warm;))

Do it from a web browser first.

  1. Sign in to your Google Account onandroid.com/devicemanager.
  2. Select Setup Lock & Erase.
  3. Click Send to send a notification to each of the mobile devices that are linked to your Google Account. The notification asks you to turn on Android Device Manager.
  4. On your device, open the notification by swiping down from the top of the screen to open the notification tray. Touch the notification for "Android Device Manager."
  5. Adjust the Android Device Manager options as described above.
