    Question Unable to save recent numbers called

    Yup, that seems to have worked, as above just by going into the permissions settings without changing anything it 'wakes' up, works flawlessly.

    Question Unable to save recent numbers called

    I may have solved it inadvertently, just by going into the permissions menu and checking seems to reactivate access, works fine no problems at all. Perhaps its because I don't use this feature a lot it somehow loses access, viewing the menu brings it back again.

    Question Unable to save recent numbers called

    I checked the phone app, couldn't see a version number, permissions all okay and toggle to remove permissions if unused switched off.

    Solved New phone, usual dread as bloatware installs

    I think you have probably hit the nail on the head, its just so disappointing when buying a new product to jump through so many hoops. In the long run I think it will be fine but agree on your comments about Samsung, this one is a A15 but remember from phone before last Samsung Note, it had...

    Solved New phone, usual dread as bloatware installs

    Thanks bud, it was a new unlocked device from Amazon, it all looks okay with most of the bloatware belonging to Samsung, I read on other threads cheaper budget phones tend to have more of this to recoup manufacturing costs - understandable but still a pain.

    Solved New phone, usual dread as bloatware installs

    Thanks Laura, I spent sometime last night disabling most of the Samsung apps, option to uninstall was not available. This seems to have worked although I would prefer to uninstall if possible, I noticed on the Package disabler it only disables rather than removal. I may try and hone my tech...

    Solved New phone, usual dread as bloatware installs

    Hello folks, I dread buying a new phone as the up-time required to figure out all the new unneeded applications increases year on year.

    Downloading routes Google maps

    Hello folks, I have searched on and low but unable to find solution, basically i would like to download to PC old routes taken using Google maps. Working off line is not really the best option nor is using Time Line which doesn't show roads travelled. Many thanks, David
