    Why the "key" symbol on the top of my S9 screen ?

    It's Proton's VPN. I opened it up and it was "trying" to connect. So I aborted the connection and everything works. Turned around and turned it back on and connected it. The "key" is still there, but most everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks for the tip...........I'd never have...

    Why the "key" symbol on the top of my S9 screen ?

    Thanks for the responses. Hmmmmm. My VPN has been on the phone for over a year now with no adverse effects. Any suggestions?

    Why the "key" symbol on the top of my S9 screen ?

    Last night I realized I wasn't able to access ANYTHING having to do with the Internet. Realized a short time later there was a symbol of a KEY at the top of my screen that I hadn't noticed before. My phone says I'm connected to my wifi, but I'm sitting right by my wifi, and can't access my...

    Sending pictures

    No email received at all. Pictures are straight from my phone and I've always sent them that size. I pull up the picture I want to send and then click on that icon that has 3 balls in a triangle that are connected. Then I click on my email icon and put in the address and send. It's always...

    Sending pictures

    I tried to send some pictures to an email recipient today but they didn't go through. Tried several times to no avail. Can't figure out what's wrong............I've always been able to send pics and data with my phone.

    S9 not "finding" printer

    Just solved my problem! Threw this piece of cr@p HP printer (have hated it since I bought it) in the trash. Headed to town to buy a decent replacement. Thanks for all the help.

    S9 not "finding" printer

    Okay, did that. Received a message on my phone saying "No printer found at this address". "You can't use Bluetooth to connect the printer and the phones. You need to use WiFi." We've been able to send things from our S9 telephones to the printer ever since we got our phones. I just assumed...

    S9 not "finding" printer

    As I mentioned previously, the printer is connected via Wi-Fi. Got the printer and PC matched up but then couldn't connect to printer from our phones via Bluetooth.............which is why I started this thread.

    S9 not "finding" printer

    S9 not "finding" printer

    Our printer is connected via Wi-Fi..............has been for years. Yes, we have the HP Print Service Plugin App.........but only installed it yesterday. Have never used it before because we didn't need it. Tried to print with it today and couldn't. All I get is a notice "This printer isn't...

    S9 not "finding" printer

    Sorry, it took a while to find the location of the new (to me) login in box. The printer is an HP OfficeJetPro 6978. Nothing in the manual addresses Bluetooth that I can find. HP Support is most often useless, so I gave up on them years ago. I don't have a Bluetooth app on my phone. Neither...
