    Can you just copy and paste to an email? What format/app are they in? I use SMS Backup & Restore Pro for SMS messages. I use copy and paste to an email for WhatsApp messages.

    Should Wi-Fi Calling remain on?

    If I have WiFi Calling on I turn off the phone signal. For a few days recently I was finding that many callers couldn't hear me although I could hear them but only with WiFi Calling on. It turns out that the VPN DNS66 causes this problem. This or other VPNs might also cause other problems...

    Did you check what number is now registered in your phone for 'forward when unanswered' and whether it works?

    Advised that Samsung Update Prevent Extending Ringing Time.

    Just tried it on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (Three Mobile so a slightly different code to get to the setting) with the same result, I can no longer extend the ring time. However if I go into phone settings I have the option to disable 'Forward when unanswered' with the relevant voicemail number...

    Looking to replace sons Fire HD 10.

    I bought an S6 Lite (2022) last week and in general I've been happy with it with the following 3 observations: It does stutter occasionally when opening apps but not serious enough to put me off. This might disappear once it learns my usage pattern. I am also comparing it to my S6 which has a...

    Pixel buds pro worth about 200 quid ?

    I've not been impressed with the Sennheiser Momentum True 3s. I bought 2 pairs in December. One pair I recently sent back to Amazon for repair because of persistent crackling in the right earbud and got refunded after having to make repeated requests because they lost them. The other pair will...

    Sim manager is showing a different number

    I use an iPhone to change the number on the SIM (Settings>Phone>My Number then just type in the correct number in the format +44 XXXX XXXXXX, dropping the leading zero in the code). I don't know why Android doesn't also allow you to do it.

    What was your favourite Galaxy S-series phone?

    The Note 4 was the first Samsung phone I owned and even today as a Note 10+ owner I still love all of mine. One is in use as a remote and another as a backup phone chucked in the bottom of my backpack. There's a theme developing in the replies:)

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Thread ****

    If you can suggest a legitimate way of shipping Lithium batteries you can have 3 of my Note 4 ones that have been stored in the fridge and apart from being checked and topped up every couple of years are unused.

    Sim card / PAC number identification

    I use an old iPhone 4 to change the SIM number in mine. More recent iPhones have this option too so if you know someone with an iPhone it's easy to do.

    My first was a Sony CM-H333 'Mars Bar', probably around 1993 which I still have somewhere. It cost £150, was with BT Cellnet on a £12 a month contract with calls costing 50p per minute.

    s10e cannot move apps or make widgets

    Do you have Good Lock and/or Good Guardians installed? There's been a few major updates installed late yesterday in anticipation of OneUI 4 and Android 12 and it may be related to them. Note that QuickStar won't update or work from within Good Lock but you can long press to add a shortcut to the...

    S10 to S21/plus or Ultra

    Samsung Health used to have annoying rolling ads until very recently but they seem to have been removed. The main area where I see an ad is every time I go to the Galaxy Store with an ad for a game on every visit. I don't recall seeing ads in other apps but I do use DNS66 (VPN) to block...

    Android factory reset

    Backup WhatsApp, Nova settings and layout if used. Make sure you reset through settings rather than the bootloader option to avoid problems with FRP.

    RWGmobile - Free monthly usage for light users.

    Not 100% sure but I think you have to phone or email them. There's no option in the JOYN app to check which seems like a missed opportunity.
