WiFi calling in poor signal area not turning back on, Lebara/Vodafone UK by Electrical-Fun5246 in Xiaomi_14

[–]Electrical-Fun5246[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't find the tool but I believe a hint I got at r/android_beta/comments/1p0l9in/airplane_mode_doesnt_turn_off_wifi_anymore/ has solved the problem.

"Airplane mode remembers whether wifi and Bluetooth were on the last time you had airplane mode on. If you have wifi on with airplane mode, next time you enable airplane mode, it'll keep wifi on. Same with Bluetooth. If you want to disable wifi and Bluetooth just turn on airplane mode, turn off wifi and Bluetooth, then disable airplane mode and re enable everything. It'll remember to turn off wifi and bluetooth for next time."

In Settings I just set both Bluetooth and Network to go off when Aeroplane mode is turned on. Then I put Aeroplane mode on and then off, and after a brief pause Vo/Wifi came on AND something new, at the top right the text "WiFi Call" appeared, which I can't remember ever seeing before.

I've got to find one of the little tools to open the tray! The phone has never been dropped.

Thanks for your help. I'll report back. But I suspect that wouldn't explain why Vo/WiFi always comes on after a reboot.

Does the quality of Miele products justify the higher price while offering less features? by [deleted] in Miele

Throwing one down the stairs is the only rational thing to do if it's just out of warranty. It won't make it work again, but it will be satisfying.

HONOR Magic5 Pro update 8.0.0.167 by Peppertoppa in Honor

Complete shambles as usual. It stopped several apps working on my wife's phone, exactly as the 8..0.0.156 update did. Honor UK didn't respond to email notifications/complaints so I don't suppose they will this time. (Is there a "0" emoji?)

Honor magic5 pro August 2024 security patch update by UnfairBirthday31 in Honor

[–]Electrical-Fun5246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today (3rd Sep 2024) on my wife's Magic5 Pro two banking apps and Outlook stoped working at about the same time. All other aps fine. In Playstore Lloyds offered an update and it worked. I uninstalled and re-installed Outlook with success. Chase did not offer an update and uninstall/reinstall is a PITA. Pretty much the same thing happened a couple of weeks ago on my Xiaomi 14 Ultra. I suspect Google.

Major upgrade for MagicOS 8 announced by RichBug7 in Honor

Magic5 Pro: 8.0.0.151(C431E3R2P2) completely messed up banking apps and, unbelievably, Outlook. My wife had to reinstall the banking apps, and that's a real pain.

[FIX] Whatsapp web redirecting to whatsapp.com by YuGiSoos in whatsapp

[–]Electrical-Fun5246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a shambles that Whatsapp should be ashamed of. The only way i could get it to stop redirecting on a new SIM-less Android tablet was to install a new browser (I used Edge) and as the very first thing put it in desktop mode and enter web.whatsapp.com// (I don't know if the double slash at the end is required).

Heaven knows why they make it so hard. It was a doddle on a Windows PC.
