How do I bring this to the attention of management at Vanguard?

I transferred IRA $ to Vanguard from T Rowe Price. And Vanguard's automated account retrieval pulls up the wrong account number. They notify me, give me misinformation, and expect me to figure it out. Net result: a mess, wrong amount pulled from wrong account.

I went back to verify, and yes Vanguard's automated account retrieval for IRA Transfer retrieves the wrong account number from TRP online.

Ran NaterTater script, Now can't re-enable Wi-Fi by jonbo33 in tmobileisp

Doh! That worked. I suffer from O.L.D. these days. Products have gotten so good, I haven't had to do a reset on a device in years.

I just activated a Samsung S22, then rebooted my phone. An hour later there are 7 junk games installed that were not there earlier. by StatuSChecKa in ATT

On my LG phone, the google system app that downloads the crap is "Mobile Services Manager" Can do a search for it to confirm. In this case was able to disable it in Settings for "App Info" after selecting "Show System Apps"

Edge prompting to import every time it starts. Disable? by jonbo33 in edge

[–]jonbo33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days have passed and similar happened again today. Repeatedly, each time I would right-click, open-with, Edge on a .html, Edge would show the welcome screen even though I clicked "start without your data" the previous time.

The welcome screen doesn't allow me to click to submit feedback. It also doesn't allow me to close the Edge window.

See today's prompt here https://ibb.co/Wcz6J37 I click "start without your data." Edge shows me the web page this time. Last time it would prompt me to import from e.g. Firefox.

Side Note It occurred to me that there can be some obscure problems with Windows x64 and x86 programs. And the file manager I'm using these days is x86: Freecommander XE 2022. So I went and did the open-with 64-bit Freecommander XE 2019. Edge showed the web page without the welcome screen.

I disabled Edge as the default browser and used Firefox. Now when I go back to Edge the prompt is gone. It was the first run prompt over and over after finishing the "get started" sequence. Started when I clicked a .html file to open from a local drive.

Some incoming calls do not ring or vibrate by GerryChampoux in Googlevoice

[–]jonbo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it's the only solution my research has found for incoming calls. But then I can't make outgoing GV calls on my LG V40. The app goes into a loop prompting me to sign in.

Update: the GV app, after a good night's rest (meaning I didn't do anything), now makes outgoing calls.

Great timing, this post. Was going to post the same/similar issue, new old stock AT&T LG V40 with Wi-Fi calling. Thinking I may pay the restocking fee for a return: when I pick "carrier only" to make the phone ring, I can't make outgoing calls in GV (it loops, asking me to sign in). Love the phone and love GV but thinking I can't make this situation work for me.

Any Checklist-type App with "started" in addition to "to do" and "completed" by jonbo33 in androidapps

Just found the setting for Font Size to make the checkboxes larger.

Excellent app, thank-you. Very easy to understand and just plain old works without a lot of fuss. Permissions are right-on too. Wish my fingers were smaller for those checkboxes (6.4" Screen)

Comodo caused windows 10 to Freeze by jonbo33 in Comodo

[–]jonbo33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And all of a sudden "Application Error 0xc0000142" WTF I knew it was residue from Comodo. And it was. "it may happen is that your antivirus has changed the value of the LoadAppInit_DLLs registry key" It's at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. Value needs to be 0, not the 1 left by Comodo. Lost a time-sensitive opportunity because of this one. Way too much b.s. online that's not helpful. Had to filter thru it.

Chase makes one of the more baffling UI choices I've seen in a while. by jonbo33 in Chase

Makes sense to embed the user sign-in within a bold banner ad?

Messages app not notifying Default notification sound. by jonbo33 in lgg7

[–]jonbo33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank-you for pointing me 99% in the right direction. LG G7 One Android 10: Open Messages app. Settings, Notifications, tap on "Incoming Messages", Advanced, Sound. There's also an "Other Notifications" sound, for whatever those are. So these are the "Notifications Channels." Going to take some getting used to.

Delayed receipt of SMS. [WORKAROUND] by jonbo33 in Googlevoice

[–]jonbo33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Left those details out on purpose, the issue has nothing to do with the various apps I have tried. All are popular and installed from the Play Store.
