    Nokia 8.3/AndroidOne v Pixel 3a/stock Android?

    I want to upgrade my Android, and keep as close to stock Android as possible. I like my current Nokia 6.1, so wondered about the new Nokia 8.3 (both run AndroidOne) as a replacement. I've just seen, though, that the Nokias don't even feature in Wirecutter's reviews, while they recommend the...

    disabling data roaming on Nokia 6.1 (Android 10)

    Thanks Javi. I've got "Mobile data always active" off now (in addition to my 0GB cap). Does "mobile data" always refer to data over the mobile network (rather than the wi-fi network)? Best, Colin

    disabling data roaming on Nokia 6.1 (Android 10)

    Thanks Javier. I do have Developer Options enabled, but didn't see anything in there. Like you, I get strange results when I "Search settings": I can find a hit for "volte", but selecting it from list takes me to Network & Internet / Mobile network, where I can't see it "mobile data" and...

    disabling data roaming on Nokia 6.1 (Android 10)

    Thanks Kirstein. I've tried the o2 community and chatting to an o2 advisor, both without clear ways forward. The advisor was mostly trying to sell me a travel pack that would have been as expensive as the bills I'm trying to avoid; she didn't mention a spending cap. I've just seen that I can...

    quickly restoring SMS from 2.3.5 Android phone

    Thank you still1. I had tried looking through a number of apps. In the end, I have just enabled the developer options, kept my new handset awake while charging, and transferred the files overnight.

    quickly restoring SMS from 2.3.5 Android phone

    I am trying to transfer about 14,000 SMS from an unrooted 2.3.5 Android to a rooted 4.2.1 Android phone. MyBackup Pro backs them up quickly, but restores them at a rate of less than 1/second. Thus, I have been looking for another tool to back up with: 1. Titanium Backup: no, as the 2.3.5 phone...
