Morning all

Still messing around on my new phone.......nearly there!
Had a problem with Norton Vault (password manager) yesterday.
I'd forgotten the password to get into the vault and, after chatting to Norton, it appears that the only way to change the password is to access the vault from another device using a biometric password (fingerprint etc). As my new phone hasn't been set up for this yet, and my old phone was factory defaulted yesterday morning, they said I'd have to delete the vault and download a new one (very helpful.....not). So basically, I've lost all my passwords!
Guess what I'll be doing today and tommorrow?

On a brighter note - we're having lunch at the Ebby, which has recently reopened after a refurb and being closed for the best part of 18 months. So......Yay.....it's Fish Friday!

Did you not use the App (forgotten it’s name) to transfer data etc from old phone to new phone? Worked a treat when I set up BiL’s new Samsung, from his previous Motorola.

Edit: I think the App name may have been "SmartSwitch"

Don't need an app to do it on a Motorola - just use NFC. SmartsSwitch is Samsung.
Yes I transferred all the data, apps, docs and photos across. Unfortunately I had to sign into most of the things I needed to and it didn't transfer passwords on most of them.

As I said, I may have got the name of the App wrong. But, whatever it was, it transferred everything from BiL's Motorola Moto G? to a New Samsung Galaxy. It was supposed to work with NFC as the connection, but, I could not get it to work, so, I connected the two phones together via a USB Cable. Once transferred, everything just worked.

I have previously used SmartSwitch when Son no 2, Wife and her Sister upgraded phones, but, they were Samsung to Samsung transfers.

According to Google, SmartSwitch works on brands other than Samsung:

"Transfer Data from Motorola to Samsung with Smart Switch

It supports all Android devices and all versions of the Android OS. Transfer with Samsung Smart Switch is very easy; you can transfer data using a USB cable, allowing for easy transfer even for app data."

We are having mashed potato which will be fried till crispy brown on the outside.
Add a fried egg plus some baked beans.
Is there a name for this ?? It can't be bubble and squeak.

 

[Dave7]

Messages etc done.
On my way back I indicated to turn left and LOUD clicking started. A bit worrying. After my turn the indicator switched off but the loud clicking continued.
Then I realised it was the start of a record on the radio... duh

Not by now and squeak. You need cooked cabbage of Brussels sprouts for that

Fried potatoes cakes

I do my potatoes cakes differently, mashed potatoes when cold put in one egg and mix up to a sloppy mess, add plain flour to form a dough, using a round cutter cut them up and place on a floured tray and put in the oven.
When cooked, cut across and spread butter, salt and pepper - enjoy

If you added some corned beef to the mix, it would be corned beef hash.
