Connecting DVD Writer to Phone - 2

Had to cut short the first session so here we are again.

Connecting DVD Writer to Phone 1

My setup for connecting external ODD via USB OTG which appears as USB storage.

USB OTG Cable

 

Just arrived via fast delivery from Amazon - stay tuned.

Samsung Flow - WiFi file transfer

Samsung Flow - transferring files over WiFi between phone and desktop.

I am always connecting my phone to the desktop via USB to transfer files, so much so that I worried about the wear and tear on the phone USB connector.

The Samsung Flow app.

Mobile phones - over the years.

 

All those manufactures have disappeared.

Scam telephone calls

We have a Panasonic phone system that does a good job of blocking unwanted callers.

However over the last few months the Panasonic base station has been busy announcing 'Call from private caller' and they seem to be increasing!

IPTV Pro purchase

IPTV - been using the free version for a while and now that Foxtel is cancelled (return box tomorrow) decided to buy the full IPTV Pro version. Going around installing on all the devices, Lenovo AIO Win10, balcony and lounge Android TV boxes, several tablets and just finished setting up my Samsung J7 Pro.

Playlists - configured all of the above for Ozzie TV all states m3u & EPG and Fluxus IPTV worldwide m3u but no EPG and Fluxus Cinema.

Lenovo Family Cloud

Invitation from Lenovo try out the following products:

Lenovo Family Cloud (Client - phones/tablets)
Lenovo Family Cloud Server (Server - Win10/64bit PC)

Went to my bookmarked Lenovo system scan webpage and one of the software items on the list was indeed the Lenovo Family Cloud Server, went ahead and installed that with no issues.

Samsung Galaxy Note factory reset - continued

From my previous post decided to do a factory reset, running out of storage and went through all the usual stuff like *#9900# to clear the log/cat files etc which previously worked well - but not this time - and I don't want to root the thing to get to other stuff like lost/found. Did a Kies restore which went well and then off to Play Store to see (and this time short list) what apps I want back on the phone. We are done with the rebuild and now have 830MB free storage

Samsung Galaxy Note - factory reset

Some jobs are best left for a rainy day like doing a clean install on a Windows PC, or giving your workshop a good vacuum - or factory resetting your phone.

Nokia C2 phone - continued

Microsoft is providing pretty good Nokia support, downloaded the latest Nokia PC Suite offering and installed to check, cleanup and backup this important mobile device.

Nokia C2 phone

Nanna phones and the impending 2G shutdown.
What about ET's phone??? I can't remember (golly) so checked her Nokia C2-01:

GSM 850 MHz Yes
GSM 900 MHz Yes ...
GSM 1800 MHz Yes
GSM 1900 MHz Yes
GPRS Yes
EDGE (EGPRS) Yes
3G (UMTS) Yes
HSDPA (3.5G) No

 

Phew...that's a relief, it actually displays 3G in the top left hand corner of the screen which both of use could not read without the aid of a magnifying glass

What are they doing ?

Telstra workers across the road in 'our' pit, fingers crossed for cable & phone services.

Foxtel Go on my phone

Foxtel Go on a older unsupported Samsung Galaxy Note GT-7000.

Downloaded the Apk file and installed directly onto the phone – works well.

Office Mobile - screenshots

Microsoft Office Mobile

Off to Play Store to install Microsoft Office Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000.

New phone system

We want to replace our aging Telstra 8200 five handset system so time for some research - I love researching stuff. Was interested in the Telstra Call Guardian 301 with extra handsets but they are not available WTF. Finally ended up at Harvey Norman Knox and unlike all the others that seemed to find even simple questions to difficult or not worth the time the guy at HNK was really good.

Panasonic phone system - update

Batteries are charged enough to setup the system - excitement. Went through the initial setup on Handset 1 which propagated to the other handsets and the base station. Next execute [MENU]#6241 to establish a Bluetooth connection between my Samsung Galaxy and Handset 1. Now the interesting bit, execute [MENU]#618 to copy Contacts from the paired Samsung to the shared phonebook, choice of Auto or Manual, I went Auto and away she went – done.




Enough for tonight and lots more to explore tomorrow including setting up the key finder.

New phone system–unpacking

Unpacking the box, first thing is to install the batteries and put everything on charge.

Samsung Phone - low memory !!!

I have a hand-me-down from the older kid, a Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 which is a few years old now but still a very nice capable phone adequate for my needs.

However...and much to my surprise, the thing is running out of memory ??? Now with this type of Android device the whole memory thing can be very confusing, when it's connected to the Win7 box Kies reports Internal Memory 3.15/10.97GB and External Memory 1.09/3.68GB which is the 4GB SD card.
