#BlogLife848 - Phone tippage

I know I know, I love making up words. I just got on to customer services about disabling the voicemail for my android phone.

This is one way, by texting free 150 and VM OFF in caps. I immediately got a reply and it confirmed it was disabled.

That is sorted at least. I just don't know how to take off this lock screen, everything to do with locks seems checked off, so not sure what to try next?

When the phone is idle it switches the screen off and this square grid padlock comes on and I have to swipe to remove it.

Ahh maybe I have sorted it at last. I googlied and that took me to reddit.

Luckily somewhat had a screenshot of it and the replies seemed to have the answer.

To remove it, click on Gaming Hub, the three dots, then Game Booster, then Auto Touch Protection.

I changed it to Never. Let's see if that cracked it, so far soo good!

Oh I should have added this too, I'm having no text or call issues and I'm not even using the Wifi calling.

That's a huge difference from the OnePlus phone. I'm probably going to stick to Samsung, unless I win another random phone ha.

Oof still feeling rough but ha I managed to avoid the dreaded video call from UC.

Why on earth they keep insisting on that is beyond me. What's wrong with a regular call?

Apparently they message you in your journal, send a link and you click to start the video conference.

I've never done it before so he ended up calling, Grins but then he said, as you're not well, do you want another video call in a fortnight?

Argh!! If he had said phone appointment, I would have jumped at it, although I do have to go to the bank at some point.

But I just said if it's a choice between the two, I'll come in to see you.

It just lasted a few moments, and I was waiting for him to ask the dumb question of what have you recently applied for, when it's clear as day, look in the flipping journal, all details are present.

But he just asked for updates. Pity, the next meeting is in the late afternoony, it's going to be frantic.

Ahh I have a Just Eat 25% off voucher but it expires before that, a shame.

Oh I was going to do some sneakiness with the video call, if I had no other choice.

I dimmed the screen. I would have done it via my phone instead, to make me smaller.

Oh and I would have laid the phone flat and looked down on it, a horrifying and unflattering image but I like my privacy.

I'm not showcasing my home to a stranger!

I have one last maintenance obligation on Thursday, the usual twice a year boiler check up.

Again that shouldn't last long and it's just one person so it's not great but it's doable.

I almost forgot to mention, it must have been a dream or possibly the neighbours..

But I got the fright of my life this morning at I think 6.45am, I heard this really loud banging.

As though someone was knocking on my door, it woke me up from a deep glorious sleep.

It was so unnerving though. I did manage to go back to sleep as noone should be contacting me that early.

I must have dreamt it or in my daze misconstrued it as my door but it was so real.

That's the issue I have, my dreams are so lifelike, I never know if it's make believe or not.

It did scare me though. I have to try to relax.
