Two Pixel 7 Pro Questions

So, I texted my sister the same website again after telling her I was trying something. My text was sent just as I composed it, and the graphics and ad were not automatically added. Problem solved. Thank you once again. As for "flip to shhh", I guess I can only say "Oh, well". I do know how to schedule modes, but the way you could spontaneously activate do not disturb without even touching the screen was really handy to me. Maybe it will get ressurected someday. I'm quite happy with your assistance, so I am unfollowing this thread. Take care!

Phaseout of 3G Network

In northern Nevada, every now and then my phone will briefly connect with a 3G network, the connection last one or two minutes at most.
The only thing I can think is it was put in place by the bureau of land management, the department of transportation or the forest service, it was set up with or eventually had solar panels installed to charge the batteries
Why is it still operating? I think it was either forgotten about or it's some back up plan. Personally I think it was forgotten about or it was put up on some mountain top and people didn't want to go remove it.
The connection is sporadic, you most certainly won't be streaming Netflix

Wtf

He's zero tech. If he accidentally pressed some bizarre combination of keys, he probably wouldn't know it. I was thinking virus because of the nasty junk he's been getting into with that phone. The good news is that it came back on and seems to be "normal" (for a Samsung anyway). When he tried to make phone calls this morning he was getting only Cricket, the carrier, but now it's working all right, I guess.
We are helping you too. We are acutally showing you and texting you, mostly on what to do, follow Hadron's advice.

Public disgrace er storage

Public storage is still horrible. They used to say that they knew people had a choice and thanked them for their business. Then again, googoo used to have the slogan "don't be evil". It reminds of that bumper sticker, Don't steal. The government hates competition.
Would you please call it Google, not everyone knows what your slang is.

clear data messages not coming back

SMS messages are only stored on your phone, so without a backup they will be gone forever if you clear all data.

So what are you using for backups? There are stand-alone SMS backup utilities which work just fine, but I suspect that none of these will back up RCS messages, so if you use those you might have to rely on Google for backups. (I don't know how Google store RCS messages on the phone, but they have been very reluctant to allow anyone other than themselves and Samsung to use the RCS APIs, which is why I'm guessing that most utilities won't be able to back those up. RCS has been one of the least open Android features ever, and to be honest it feels like Google are trying to force people to use their Messages app for some reason).
