Well, it's had 24hrs on charge and there is no difference, still shows the grey "Charge Icon", no sign of any green indication of retained power but the splash screen still lights up and only goes out when the battery is removed! I can only assume that both the phone and the battery are Goosed...

No, My main phone is a Huawei P30 Pro. This was just a security cam. it's pristine so I'll be sad to send it to the dump! It's predecessor as a security cam was an HTC Wildfire S, again a cracking little phone but the permanent attachment of the charger required by Alfred App soon turns the...

Thanks mustang7757 No idea! out of frustration that there was power available from the new battery despite it having sat for a year in its envelope, I tried some "Multiple button presses" to try and get some reactionb. One screen was the warning that installing a custom ROM was dangerous and...

Hi B. Diddy, thanks for replying. Yes, I was using the Alfred Security cam App with this phone for about two years. The battery is or rather was bought new last year, but has just been put in the phone due to finding the existing one blown and swollen it is currently attached to the charger. The...

Camera (my i9305) went "offline" yesterday. Checking it today, it displayed the "Samsung GALAXY SIII" screen, the only change I could achieve was to see the battery icon in grey despite the charger being attached. Opening the phone, I found the battery was blown, so I replaced it with a "new"...

Thanks B. Diddy, Grateful for that. I'm getting notifications, so I won't get lost! :)

Thanks me just saying, Not sure how to re set buds to "Factory", manual is fairly scant as always with Chinese stuff, but just says "To re-set, press and hold both buds for 10 seconds whilst in charging case" which I have done. Thanks B. Diddy, since the P 30 Pro is not a recognised phone in...

Alexa on my phone has worked perfectly for a year: Long press on the power button invokes a screen flash and summons Alexa. Alternatively if I'm using my MPOW M5 Earbuds, three taps on the right bud summons Alexa. About two weeks ago, both methods stopped working. Long press on the power...

As I reccall, when trying to make space, the only options when attempting to remove Google items was to "delete updates" which is what I might have done. Is it possible to be instructed in how to "side load" this missing item?

Thanks methodman89. Can't follow your route to "System Apps", pressing my "Settings" button lists the available options which don't include "Show System Apps". Only "Applications", which has the following options:- "Unknown sources", which is ticked. "Manage Applications", "Running Services"...

Trying to use old HTC Wildfire S as Security camera. Had to delete/uninstall almost everything to get 22mb free space for the install of "Alfred". That done, I keep getting told that Google Play Services is required to run "Alfred". Play store was crashing when searching for Google Play...

Yes, two Gmail accounts and also a Hotmail.co.uk account. just spent over an hour on my service provider's web chat facility and they were obsessed with the need to do what they called a "Master Reset" which would have required a full phone back-up! I really didn't believe that was necessary but...

My local phone shop helping me to speed up the phone deleted some "Unused" apps and cleared cache for me today. This evening notice I can see new Emails but can't open them, or any others for that matter(Continuous progress gif) Also I'm unable to send emails, only able to fill in the address...

Ahaa! Just found where the log in screen has been hidden! What a strange way to operate, ...similar to the odd rendering of the HUKD site on my phone's browser. I see that you seem to have some difficulty with the system we use on this planet to denote the hour of the day! My initial question...

Hi KatG2016, sorry to B. Diddy and all, never posted back after my holiday! I didn't try the cache partition wipe for fear of upsetting something else! Have learned to live with one eye on the dratted NFC but still interested to hear if anyone manages to defeat it!:D
