Read if you lost your sound!

I've had similar problems like yours. I found that the location of my sound files were not in the correct folders. I had duplicate sound folders from my previous phone. I had to move the sound files into the correct folders. I found the correct folders by trial & error and eventually fixed the problems.

Unlocking issues

svim
Well resetting a password to implement a new one without knowing the old password isn't likely. If it was so trivially easy to bypass, there's no point at all in even having one to begin with. It's a security measure to protect easy access to your user account on your phone.

Try doing a 'Soft Reset' of your phone, this will force it to restart normally without wiping away any of your data:

If it restarts into your typical lock screen that should work out. If not and that password prompt still pops up instead, try using your Google account password (the Google account you used when setting up your phone).

Ear scout app

svim
Just a idle suggestion but you might give some thought into trying out a different hearing enhancement app. The Ear Scout app has some questionable practices in its 'Data Safety' statement:

Perhaps this HeardThat app might be a good alternative. It includes a pretty sophisticated noise filtering feature :

Windows Word doc reversal?

kate said:
The two programs I linked to do not have to be installed beforehand, and do not use a Previous Versions function.

They will scan the hard drive and list files that have not been physically overwritten yet and offer you the option to recover them.

Thanks @kate
As it happens I had just downloaded Recuva first and it was running as I started this post, but only took over 1 minute to look for the file name, or then look for all documents in C:\Users\user\Desktop where it was. So it didn't find the current file, or any document, though at the bottom of the all document search it says Found O files (661,832 ignored).

*[Also lists the C Drive in the results window as Windows 7 OS when it's now Windows 10 but I imagine thats completely irrelevant.]
*It shows Windows 10 along with the pc hardware under the Recuva top banner - so ignore that*

It doesn't seem Recuva would find previous file versions but it's the free version and I'm doing something wrong.

I'm doing it as an experiment now as I have recovered emotionally from my "loss" :rolleyes:

I'll try it further tomorrow and also Easus which I had heard of in the past. Cheers!

Except that you had biometrics on, and I've never met a phone that allows biometrics without setting either a lockscreen PIN or a lockscreen password. That's one of the strange things about your situation. And once you have enabled biometrics it asks for the password every now and then.

The simplest explanation for it not working is that what you wrote isn't what you entered. That may sound daft, but since they generally don't display passwords when you enter them it's possible: if for some reason you missed the same key on both attempts (hitting a neighbouring key) you could get a password accepted that isn't what it should be. A screen calibration issue would increase the odds of this, but also the odds of making the same error when you try to re-enter it!

If only it was easy!! I even paid $29.95 to a company called tenorshare.com because they said they could get me in, but their instructions don't work either, but they refuse a refund because they say there's nothing wrong with their program. Oh well, that's a different problem. I think the next time I'm near an 02 shop, I'll see if they can do anything.

Today my new Galaxy S22 arrived and I've set it up, switched the SIM card, and all is working well. Fingers crossed ......

Second World War online strategy game

Ketyball
Thank you for sharing the strategies! I have been adept at strategy genre games since I was a child. One of my favorite video games in this genre is Civilization and Rise of Nations. I have spent multiple hours in these two games, especially in the online regime. Most of all hours I have in Minecraft. I got the license on minecraftforfreex.com a long time ago. This video game is addictive, and I love that the gameplay is limited to your imagination because it is a well-developed sandbox with limitless possibilities for building and creating adventures.

nokia photo question

C
ok i think i found a work around. i installed a different camera app called open camera it will show the photos on the pc but not in the camera folder you have to use open camera folder. but they show up on the pc. i then now created another folder and i just copy them over to that folder and use the don't copy and the pc will just copy the new photos in the new folder. so in a few months or so i may have enough new photos that i can just use the open camera folder and not have to copy them and will be done with the extra step. or by then my tracfone a51 will be ready to unlock and i will switch phones then. but at least i can now see the photos. i can't see the older photos in the cameras original folder but open camera creates a folder on the phone so it is a work around for now.

Milo, are you saying you can't change your app icon name and the app icon itself?
You can, if using Nova launcher prime....
Long press on the icon, choose edit, then type in a new name for the icon. You can do this in the app drawer or home screens. You can also choose which Android icon to use for each app the same way.
Of course, you'll need other icon packs installed if you really want customization.
And yes I'll call you crazy!!! Lol
