Technical Help / Vodafone 3G switch off
« on: Saturday 27 January 24 09:40 GMT (UK)  »
Vodafone have been sending me emails telling me that the 3G network is about to be switched off in favour of 4G. They I already have everything I need for a 4G connection, I just need to update some settings on my phone. This is where I encounter the problem, when I click to go to the update I choose which make of phone  (Samsung) and it comes up with a whole list of them, complete with pictures, but my phone isn't there. It's not as if it's an ancient model, I bought it late 2019 although these days that might be considered ancient.
There's no indication of exactly what settings I need to change.

I'm no technophobe but this is driving me mad. Can anyone help please?

The Stay Safe Board / Diary summary week ending 28th January
« on: Tuesday 23 January 24 09:36 GMT (UK)  »
Can't see any sign of a new diary thread this week so thought I'd start one.

All calm here after storm Isha, Jocelyn is on the way from midday but only a yellow warning whereas yesterday's was an amber warning. Sad to read of a couple of deaths due to the storm. Apparently we can expect such extremes of weather to continue due to climate change.  :-\

Technical Help / OTG device
« on: Wednesday 25 October 23 10:57 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone used one of these for data transfer? Apparently it stands for On The Go.

I use my Samsung tablet every day, the battery needs charging every day now and I'm worried that it will go the way of my previous tablet, ie won't charge at all so is rendered useless. I do have an SD card in the tablet for storage but I'd like to copy all of the data from the tablet to an external hard drive in case it does pack up.

I've been looking online at the OTG cable devices, there seem to be very few that would be suitable for my tablet, also I've found previously with other types of cables that despite the model number being listed it doesn't actually fit the device.

Has anyone used one of these? Any tips please?

Late Monday evening and no-one seems to have started the diary thread for this week so here it is for anyone who wants to join in.  :)

It's been another lovely sunny day here, all the spring flowers are starting to bloom. Hope everyone has been enjoying some good weather wherever in the world.

No-one seems to have started this week so here's a new diary week.

Snow forecast here, hope it doesn’t arrive. We've had a little light rain so far, I can put up with that.

The Stay Safe Board / Wrong diary date, please ignore !
« on: Wednesday 04 January 23 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
I'm all out of kilter this week, looks like everyone else is as well, it's Wednesday and just starting a new diary thread!

What's the betting that LM is now starting one at the same time?  ;D

The Common Room / FindMyPast subscription renewal offer
« on: Wednesday 28 September 22 22:37 BST (UK)  »
Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, I can't find anything.

I've had an email from FindMyPast offering me a 20% discount if I renew my subscription (due 28th November) by 10am on Friday. The email was sent late this afternoon (Wednesday) so apart from it being two months till my subscription expires, it only gives me about a day and a half to think about it.

If I ignore it and hold on till nearer the time, are they likely to send me a better offer? Or should I let it expire and wait for them to send me begging emails?  ;D

Any advice based on experience would be gratefully received.

The Stay Safe Board / Diary summary week ending 25th September - the end of an era
« on: Monday 19 September 22 08:31 BST (UK)  »
Well here we are at the day of the queen's funeral, a momentous day in history as world leaders gather for the occasion. No doubt it will be a harrowing day for many and a strange experience for Prince George and Princess Charlotte at such young ages.

I'm sure many Rootschatters will be glued to the TV today to watch the pomp and spectacle of the day unfold.

Rest in peace your majesty.
