Hi guys, My Mum has deleted her WhatsApp message thread between us... is there any way of restoring? I can export the chat from my side and that produces a zip file. Not sure how/if that could be imported to WA on her end though? She's uninstalled/reinstalled from her side and restored the...

Hey Had a Oppo phone on 02, it would regularly drop mid phone call or the call was barely audible to who ever was on the other end. No issues my end. It would sound like poor signal with a robotic sound. Changed to a Google pixel 9 with EE and the same problem is still very much going on...

Hi guys, Just come back from a road trip, the first proper one probably with my S24 Ultra. A couple of observations and questions - I used Google Maps for navigation and Spotify was on for entertainment etc., Maps almost seems to incorporate it into the main Maps view. With previous Android...

A friend of mine has an old phone running Android 10 that hasn't received any security updates in 3 years or so. Wonder how much of a problem it is. How easy is for a hacker to gain access to say a banking app installed on the phone? Do old Android phones without recent security fixes actually...

Should I update my Android operating system on my phone from version 10 to 12 ? I'm happy and use to 10 but am I missing out ? Tx.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65962942 The activation mechanism seems utterly stupid. You press the button twice to activate the camera, but I find that I often don't get it quite right. So I have to repeat. That puts me on 4 presses, 1 off the number required to dial 999. This is not...

Not sure why this was in the iOS 16 thread but posts can be moved into here if a mod wants to do it. Looks like Apollo app will be shutting down soon du to Reddits new API cost. also.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65855608

As per the title really. My brother in law was telling me that he lost a few photos on a old phone before he had Google backing them all up. I'm happy to have a go at helping him but turning to the OCUK hive mind in case it's something anyone's dealt with before. I have a feeling there must be...

Does anyone have/had experience with using one of these and can recommend? Just bought my Dad a Redmi 9AT and want to slap an easy-to-use launcher on as his hands aren't the best.

I'm looking for a landline phone that will sync its address book with Google Contacts and make them easily available. I'm sure there will be other useful features but that's the big one. Google throws up all sorts of stuff on AliExpress/Alibaba but few over here. And it's got to be a landline...

I'd like to be able to pull data from my dashcam to my mobile phone (Google Pixel) or my iPad Pro (2021) when I'm travelling. To which end I'd like something that can plug into the USB C port on my iPad and Android and into which I can plug the SD card from my dashcam. My current dashcam doesn't...

Ive got a fairly decent spec android phone and was wondering if I could install an OS to use it as a computer, for general web browsing, youtube, etc (not to be used as a phone at all) at a spare monitor. Would make a great low-power-use and fun way to explore a new OS, if I could install one...

This phone seems pretty impressive Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, in just the one variant - at least for Europe. The display is a 6.7in, WQHD+ AMOLED display using LTPO 2.0 tech for a variable refresh rate from 1-120Hz. . On battery, expect a 5000mAh cell with 80W...

Yesterday I missed an important NHS consultation: I received no phone call but they say they called. My Android phone settings has no Blocked Numbers, and the setting to 'Block calls from unidentified callers' has always been turned off. Lebara, my network provider, tell me they don’t block any...

I've been procrastinating about doing this for a while because I haven't done it before but I need to get on with it. So help me out here. I've transferred all my 2FA keys to Authy. I've backed up the SD card. I have the following apps: Whatsapp Lastpass Steam Guard Level (a spirit level...

I have a Nokia 2.2 running Android 10 (which is up to date) with 16 GB internal storage and 128 GB additional storage set as internal (actually it's a 256 GB SD card but Android only sees 128 GB), and Android is complaining that the 16 GB internal storage is getting full and not letting me move...

Hi I have a Motorols G5S. I have many photos on it and I would like to transfer them to my Windows 10 PC. When I plug the phone into a USB port it is seen (as a device) by the PC. However, it doesn't show any folders or contents. I realise that this is because the file system is not...
