The Anonymous Widower

The Arrogance of Samsung And/Or Google

I have been shut out of my messages on the phone by the arrogance of Samsung and/or Google.

They want me to change to a new piece of software and all I get when I try to get my messages is an oriental figure.

I have just restarted the phone and it appears to have gone as dead as a dodo.

They may think they are making progress, but my Nokia 6310i of twenty years ago, was much more useable and reliable.

At least it works as a phone and runs the apps I need.

I am seriously, thinking of giving up a mobile phone.

After all, they all die or get stolen within six months.

  1. Google has introduced Google messages. The good new is its free, including what would be expensive MMS on many tariffs, even all inclusive. The bad news is that won’t run alongside Messages (Samsung App’), which uses the original SMS and can do recorded deliver etc.

    OTOH the original messages app’ is still there and you can switch back to it.
