Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

[decrep]

I'm a Firefox browser fan, so if Apple will let you try downloading Firefox.
I give it a 90% chance of fixing the issue.

Just picked up and read your message. Then realised I was right there - no mucking about for the first time in weeks .
Scared to switch off in case it comes back

Joking aside, I got my Mum an Android phone years ago when Android 5 was current. She uses WhatsApp a lot and eventually, WA said it was going to discontinue support for old Android phones, so I was going to get her an up to date Android phone. She was used to how it worked after all.

Along comes here niece and persuades her to buy an iPhone.

She doesn't get on with it at all. But feels having invested all that money in it, that she can't just ditch it....

I originally had an android and had endless glitches with it. The common denominator seems to be me ?

What annoys me is that the lazy media (BBC ?) always refers to mobile phones as iPhones when over 70% of mobile phones worldwide are Android.

Oh well I’ll need to go, I’ve over charged the Berlingo to 87% so I must go and drive it to get that down a bit . Good excuse
I’m actually going to pick up some lunch stuff for a Kiwi who lives in Oz who’s here in UK to visit as much of Scotland as he can.

I get issues with all my phones when they get old and fed up of me dropping them!

I have CP and am clumsy and drop the thing at least 10 times a day.

I like my current phone as it is built to a tough military standard with a tough Gorilla Glass Victus screen. It's survived 4 years of abuse from me!

It was one of the last Android One phones that came with a guaranteed number of OS and security updates. I'm on the last of those now, so it will become vulnerable in the future.
I'm currently on Android 14 with a security update on 1 March 25.

I need to find something similarly tough to replace it.

The wife discovered that her new Samsung wasn't round about traffic toughened enough, when she left it on the car roof and it fell off at the second round about, apparently it wasn't busy enough for the phone at the first round about
With a new screen, it did actually turn on so she could get the information stored on the phone to transfer to the sim card. We used the phone for a while as the go between for Google Play to put movies on the TV from another mobile, but the house fire ended that ..... apparently, they can survive being run over multiple times, but they don't recover from a fire hot enough to melt the aluminium window frames and the bull bar on the front of the motorhome ...... Thought about sending a complaint to Samsung ...... but the computers didn't survive the fire either ......
