Praying to get ur old phone back, is it caled living in the past, or being hopeful that Allah will make a way
To Allah everything is easy and possible. If that happened with the phone you may ask Allah to help you find it. But, this needs practice. Mostly when we're asking for something huge and "impossible" we have a doubt and a doubt can do the opposite from the dua.
When I lose something I recite al Fatiha and salawat and Allah literarily shows me where it is. Start with small things, like when you can't find your sunglasses. When you're certain He's gonna show it to you, that's it, He will.
Then start with bigger things, etc.
Also, when it doesn't work, I often thank Allah because it's probably better for me not to find something for x reason, Allah knows the best. But, this doesn't happen that often that I can't find something. And eventually once I do.
