FastNote question please....

Thank you and nothing is a waste of time, learn little each time.
Connecting my various aging and the newer phones all seem to have hidden files that I cant see.
My s4, j3, j7 and the newest s21fe all have FastNote installed and saved txt files, nowhere in any can
I find any mention of the fastnote program or any files with the name of my text files.
Connecting the phones to my pc there are probably 30 folders and opening each one shows nothing of
interest that's why they must be hidden and needs a special file program to explore.
Hoping someone reads this and can suggest something.
Many thanks.
Well you can go to windows > Folders > Always see hidden context to see what is hidden.

Help Looking for testers for hands-free helper app

Not sure if this is the right place to find testers for an app that facilitates using a a hands-free device connected to your phone.
If you think this app could be useful to you, and are interested in testing it, please send me your email address in a conversation on this forum, and I will add your email address to the closed testers list in Google Play Console.

The app addresses the following problem, which I believe is relevant only for the more modern phones (at least 2020?): The hands-free device cannot dial out when the phone is locked

A recommended approach to addressing this problem is to make your hands-free device to be a trusted device on your phone. Thereafter, whenever you unlock your phone when connected to the device, the phone remains unlocked for several hours as long as the phone stays connected to the hands-free device.

Of course, things don't always work so smoothly. For example, if your phone happens to already be unlocked when it connects to your hands-free device, the phone will automatically lock later on, likely when you are driving.

The app, BtLos, works as follows, and only when the phone is connected to the hands-free device:
-- Gives a certain style beep when becoming locked
-- Gives a different style beep when becoming unlocked

It is convenient to combine BtLos with the fingerprint unlocking feature of your phone, so that you can unlock your phone without looking at the screen -- the BtLos beep tells you when you have succeeded in unlocking the phone.

WhatsApp BANNED - Cleared ad infinitum.

Hi,

I don't know what the problem is, but I wouldn't buy a new phone based on a personal theory, I'd try to understand the problem first, because if the problem isn't the handset then you could waste a lot of money that way. In fact I doubt your theory is correct, because if you failed to install WhatsApp on the phone then you never connected to them from that device and so they should have no record of any connection between the device ID and your phone number (current or previous).

So what exactly does this "banned" message say?

When you say you bought a SIM on return to the UK, did this come with a new phone number or did you port over an old one? It's usually numbers which get banned from WhatsApp rather than devices. Phone numbers are owned by the service providers and are a finite resource, so old numbers do get re-used. The provider should wait some period of time before re-issuing a number from a cancelled contract (can't remember how long, will be several months or maybe a year), but I wonder whether you got unlucky and got re-issued a number that had been banned due to a previous owner breaking the rules? It's just a speculation, but it's not impossible. If that's the case you will need to get through to a human being at WhatsApp to get it resolved. But if by any chance it is something like that then changing phones wouldn't help as long as you had the same phone number. This is why I think what you really need to do is get through to someone at WhatsApp and find out why it keeps being banned: once you know what the problem is you (or, hopefully, WhatsApp) will be able to work out how to fix it.


Following on - I suspect that you 'hit' the spot.
I have Factory Reset phone - re-installed WhatsApp - and Registered with an enitirely new SIM.
That now makes 3 days of 'clean' operation and no problems whatsoever.
Looks like it mgiht have well been down to the SIM/Phone No - can think of nothing else.
But that leads on to conjecture what else one could possiibly 'pick up' from an apparent new ( but previously used) SIM.
Just thanked a daughter for yesterdays delicious Easter Sunday meal - all via the magic of WA.

Best Rgds. & Thnxs.

....................................

WHOOPS - spoke far to soon - 3 days all OK then - back into the routine of BANNED/CLEAR and that is with a new number/SIM.
So once again - is it my Phone doing it? Something on my Phone??
Why don't Whats App at least state what their system finds that leads to the temporaryl BANNED?
I GIVE UP!
