    Notifications stopped working

    Somewhat embarrassingly I thought I had rebooted both my watch and my phone. It turns out that I may have only rebooted the watch. Now that I have definitely rebooted the phone the notifications appear again. Sorry for any confusion.

    Notifications stopped working

    My Line/WhatsApp message notifications(red dot on 9 o'clock) have stopped appearing on my watch. They were the only ones set to notify. I've checked the settings and everything is geared up, as before, to receive them. I've turned a few things on/off without success Any help appreciated TIA

    don't power off your galaxy watch 4 after update

    Rather than delete the above post I can now advise that having re booted my phone and watch a couple of times and reconnected to each other it has sorted itself. The back button is indeed the back button again. Bizarre! Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    don't power off your galaxy watch 4 after update

    I've just done the latest update on my GW4 Now the 2 buttons have switched functions, so annoying! I've managed to reprogram it so the top button (home key) can power on/off but it's also now the back(previous screen) button whereas from purchase it was the bottom one(back key) I've gone...

    don't power off your galaxy watch 4 after update

    I'm being offered the GVK4 update which I believe is not the bricking one(GVI3?) Debating what to do. Mine starts with R860...unlike the poster above whose watched survived. Also FWIW my watch was built in September '22. There were discussions that those affected by GVI3 were built mid' 21...

    Samsung Galaxy Watch and Swimming Pool

    I have a problem with my GW4(1 month old) in swimming mode whereby the times of my laps are just simply wrong. I've studied it and I've come to the conclusion that it's not recording ALL of my first length. Maybe it starts counting half way through first length and therefore it gives a much...

    Long press power button

    On my Cubot note S there is a cool feature whereby when I long press the power button it brings up a handy menu of silent, vibrate, screenshot reboot etc. Now what I'd like to know is...

    Budget Android 2017

    What's the new kid on the block when it comes to Android budget phone say sub £150, 5.5 inch screen? Dual sim preferred but not essential. I tried a cubot note S, its decent but has a few flaws, mainly camera is poor but well worth the £67 though!

    Permissions denied

    After a first few clear days on cubot note S, I'm repeatedly getting a message on the home screen which says... Permissions denied : you can go to settings : apps.... But I don't know what I'm looking for as it does not identify the cause. I think it's has something to do with my Google mail...
