They're all Google Apps rubschin:The updates allow them to see how much you walk, eat, pee, sleep and breath. Also how many hours you sleep and when you do your washing or go to the supermarket.
All quite innocent an unobtrusive.

Other than that, so far so good. Even the earphones supplied seem pretty good :thumbsup:

My new phone is all up and running - all my apps were wirelessly transferred across from my old one using SmartSwitch. The only slight annoyance was that I lost all the data on my "Shift Planner", so had to recreate this.
Other than that, so far so good. Even the earphones supplied seem pretty good :thumbsup:

Yup, so far so good....
Google maps now has navigation built-in...
You can set your SD card as part of the phone memory rather than 'removable storage'...
Overall, I'd say it is faster and slickerer... :thumbsup:

My old phone just broke! eeek:Crushed between a Panjero and a Gate place?Perhaps if I cut down the SIMNot sure about the grinder but yes you can cut down many SIMs. They used to sell 2 SIM to one phone gismos that told you to do just that
I have a SIM chopper but it goes from mahoosive-SIM to Micro-SIM... and new phone needed nano-SIM... ::)
There was a big sticker on the back of the phone that said something along the lines of, "for fucks sake get a new SIM, don't just chop down your old SIM or everything will be buggerated'... scared2:
So I went to the phone shop today and explained that I needed a new Nano-SIM for me new phone like and bish-bosh, out with the chopper, SIM chopped, excess SIM in the bin and , there you go sir, no charge'... lol:

The last one was/is great but I discovered in NZ that the GPS is a bit shite so we had to use LL's for navigation.
It isn't a problem generally but it was like a nagging sore and it had to go... Will sell it on-line.

It's worth keeping an eye on the Chinese budget smartphones as in a lot of cases their manufacturers are sub companies or trading styles of larger established names. The last 2 phones I've had have been from Honor who are actually Huawei and they've both been brilliant. From what I've heard Samsung and LG do something similar but I haven't been able to find out which brands they use.

Pity, it's been a damn good phone.

Hmm looks like I'm going to have to find another phone brand when it's upgrade time in a few months seeing as Honor are going to be buggered by the backlash against Huawei following the US trade ban over security concerns. Google have blocked them which means no more Android updates or access to the newer iterations. ARM have turned their back as well which means processors are now going to be a problem and now the SD Association and WiFi Alliance have also burned them.
Pity, it's been a damn good phone.

I guess it's just courses for horses (or vice versa)
We don't use a lot of data hence the 29 G in the bank and 1.85G of my 2G month's allowance still there one week into the month. I just value the carefree 'I got data access if I need it'. Recent uses
- just did my occasional take Cobnut for a walk up the garden and read the newspapers on line - no WiFi at the top of our garden
- Mrs K googles a restaurant for it's number and makes a spur of the moment booking for last night
- Middle of a walk through some local woods yesterday and Mrs K doubts I know where we are (I wasn't actually THAT sure) so I shows her on that Sat view on google maps
- and then there's the real time updated traffic info on the Sat Nags - I guess more of a need in Blighty

So I decided to order her a new one like mine but collect from the shop (and not have it delivered - don't get me started on that nightmare! cussing:)...
So, ordered it, drove to Pafos, collected it from the shop in mins (much faster than having it delivered - don't bleddy get me started on that! cussing:) and home cos Pafos is empty on Friday arvos apparently... :thumbsup:
Take her old phone apart - SIM too big! cussing: SIM muncher is at the old house so have to drive all the way back to Pafos to the phone company store which is 200m from the store where I collected the phone from... noooo:

Interesting read thanks. But not a very smart idea.
Years ago in my TD role I got asked to invest a stack of the company's money into having our futuring offerings made out of such upgradeable physical objects. Was actually mainly supposed to address obsolescence, a real problem in aerospace electronics where customers want the 'same' computer to be deliverable 20 years after the first. I said 'nah' and we focussed on design objects instead.
Right in front of me right now is an example of why it doesn't work. Once upon a time we bought desktop PC's built out of a dumb motherboard with cards you plugged in and if you wanted a better graphics interface you just changed the graphics card. Remember PCI bus? Then someone realised it was smarter to put all that stuff on the motherboard and you got a much smaller and faster PC instead. For a while you could plug in better RAM and hard drive but not on this Surface PC.
Why Google didn't realise that is more than slightly bizarre

Choice is an updated phone, or loss of access to work emails.
Upgrading/transferring everything across seems to be the only solution. Pretty sure last time I upgraded I used "Smart Switch" which, if memory serves, was pretty good.
Or just keep my current phone and not look at work emails, unless at work.

One possible option is to set a rule in your work email account that forwards to your personal email any received from certain people or with certain keywords in the subject. Then you get the heads up on your own phone of potential issues but can deny ever reading the work email.

I can read my work emails on my own phone. Just received an email from work saying that the security on my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S8) isn't up to scratch any more. There will be no further security updates for this model.

Mr. Google should transfer everything for you...
Apart from WhatsApp - you have to take a backup of Chats to your Google account then re-install on the new phone...

Everything fine except WhatsApps- as you predicted.

I had to go round the WhatsApp loop several times, moving it back and fourth between the old and new phones until it stuck... rubschin:

The chats have gone but all the pictures are still in the gallery and it is still doing stuff. Maybe they will come back, but it doesn't matter as they were all just puerile spaz jokes. Which are fine. Beautifully, all my particular swear phrases are copied across. so I don't have to retype "a bunch of utter cuntishness, peddled by the the fuckwittery of absolute mongtards who fail to see ther wankery of their spasticated dead-end ideas".
