Vodafone say it can't be done. Mind you, they also said it was not possible to dial into your voicemail from another phone, but then I found this which does exactly that. But Vodafone remain in denial about it.

Thanks for the tip. I searched Google Store for "vodafone voicemail app" but it only lists the standard "my vodafone" app which I've already installed. I'm not aware this allows translation of voice messages into text but I'll ask Vodafone and report back.

Yes. I reinstalled Arlo and this time it allowed me to enter my email address to validate my mobile number, so I'm sorted.

This is a copy of what I've just posted in another post "Can HiSuite backup be recovered to a different brand?". Late yesterday evening, I bit the bullet and backed everything up to Windows using HiSuite. I then did a factory reset on the phone, followed by a restore of the backups. The good...

I found a Phone app with "Show System" and cleared cache but problem remains. I've backed up everything using HiSuite so I think I'll do a factory reset.

What would you recommend to backup everything (inc. apps) from my Huawei in readiness to be recovered to a different brand of Android phone, e.g. Samsung? If I'm going to get a Samsung, would their backup suite be able to extract everything from the Huawei? Or would I need to use some...

I'm creating a backup of my Huawei phone using HiSuite. Can this be recovered to another brand of phone, e.g. Samsung? If so, then would HiSuite do it, or would Samsung's own recovery software be able to interpret the HiSuite backups?

It makes no difference whether I'm holding the phone to my ear or in my hand

There is no Phone app in the apps list. The link you sent is for "wipe data/factory reset" - won't this wipe my personal data?

I've got a 7 y.o. Huawei P10 Plus which has worked pretty much flawlessly. Today, if I dial my voicemail, the call is made but my display goes blank and I cannot choose any options. The phone is completely unresponsive, all I can do is force a power off. Then after powering up again, I go...

Although the S9 video only takes up 4MB on my Windows pc, I've discovered that on the S9 itself it's taking up 35.46MB... I've been using WhatsApp to send it to my PC (which is where I do all my work), so it seems that WhatsApp does a 10:1 compression. I've not tried this before with the...

I've just recorded an identical 20-second video on each phone. The S9 (with HEVC off) stores this in 4MB. The P10 takes up 44MB. I don't know whether it's a clue but there's an 'info' button on the P10 and when pressed it shows some sort of graph which to my untrained eye shows a lot of...
