"The Complete Guide to Smishing." What is Smishing?
Saturday, November 2, 2024
Even though some companies give us valid reasons for cell phone tracking, like counting our steps or providing navigation, these companies (and more importantly the advertisers they rely on to exist) now have personal and even compromising details about your life that you would probably prefer them not to have.

Okay, spoke with Metro PCS @ 8:10pm. Angel said that when voicemail passwords are reset the saved messages are deleted.
MORNING
Mobile Phone? No, "Other Phone."
Connected me to a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?
Finally got connected to a person, just cannot tell if that person is real or not because they were so remarkably incompetent. I hung up. She has no sense of communication.
So then I went online to LG at this here and got their chat. Chatter's name was Mary Cousart (US) chat.
Just a little recap. Your issue/concern is, need to retrieve lost messages from my Visual Voicemail. I provided you information for your concern. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
The assistance was of little value. All she sent me was a link from WikiHow that I saw yesterday. Her phone number is 256-857-6807 [sent @ 9:48]. I asked her if the procedure worked, and she said that she is told that it does. So she does not know. At least she didn't call what she did for me "Help." She actually did call it "assistance."
@9:50 Is there anything else I can assist you with?
But first, she called it "information."
I provided you information for your concern. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Of sorts, I guess.
9:36 Hi. Thank you for waiting. How may I help you today?
9:37 Hi Mary. Thank you. I have an LG K51 Android and I need to retrieve lost messages from my Visual Voicemail.
9:38 Hi Mike, May I know if this is the first time you contacted LG regarding this concern? And just to confirm, May I know your country's location, please?
9:39 In the U.S. I tried calling last night and was told that I would receive a callback in 1 hour. That did NOT happen.
9:40 I do apologize for that. May I know the kind or model number of your LG phone, please?
9:40 K51
9:41 Mary, are you still there?
9:42 Yes, Thank you. Just checking on something
9:42 Checking on what . . . ?
9:42 On How to retrieve lost messages from my Visual Voicemail for K51. If there is an option
9:45 Thank you for waiting. Can I send you a link on how to retrieve voice mail? But I cannot find the one for Visual voicemail.
9:45 Can I send it [to your phone]? Why my phone, why not here in the chat?
9:46 sure
9:46 Why not here in the chat?
9:47 Thank you. Hold on, please.
9:48 Okay, I saw that yesterday in my own searches. Do you know if that works
9:49 That is what we provide customers and was told it worked
9:50 Just a little recap, Your issue/concern is, need to retrieve lost messages from my Visual Voicemail. I provided you information for your concern. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
9:51 I personally have not deleted any of the messages that I want to retrieve. I don't know why the messages were deleted. My carrier, I found out yesterday deletes messages after 90 days.
9:51 90 days that is a lie since I have messages on my phone from 2020
9:52 Yes, for voice messages it is only for 3 mos. if you do not save it
9:53 but for regular messages it depends on your sim card.
9:54 Will there be anything else I can assist you with?
9:54 "Yes for voice messages it is only for 3 mos if you do not save it" Okay, but I did not know and you guys did not provide that information. And real-world evidence proves that you don't delete after 90 days since I have messages on my phone from 2 yrs
9:55 "regular messages"? What other messages are there? I don't understand that.
9:56 So what do I have to do with my SIM card to retrieve my messages?
9:56 LG is only the manufacturer but your carrier is the one providing the network. carriers are the ones who should provide information to their respective customers. Regular messages are the ones you receive, like text messages.
9:57 I understand the difference between carrier and mg. My carrier told me that you guys provide retrieval services. I guess they lied.
10:00 The live agent connection has been terminated.

Phone sounds. I was on a call today and the call got dropped 3 or 4 separate times. What is that? Is it an indication that someone is listening in on your call? I don't know. But this statement from Techwalla made me think maybe it's not. Still could be, however.
Tapping a phone requires a warrant, at which point the phone carrier will provide information on calls and, when requested, the actual content of those calls. The average phone tap detector will likely capture instances of phone tapping through malware, which can happen as a result of downloading an app.
Learned how to fix the redirect. The provider has to clear it. The Metro PCS rep told me to go to Settings, then to General, then to Restart & Reset, then to Network Settings Reset, then she asked me to wipe the SIM card. Lost my key, so had to go to Metro PCS in Arcadia, and the guy was really nice: he gave me an extra key. Could have used a paper clip, but I couldn't find one in my car.

I have been pulling my hair out, or what's left of it, trying to change the background color of my android from black (or dark) to white (or light). Turns out that it wasn't the background at all, nor was it the wallpaper. Instead, it is the theme of the specific site. I'd been on Twitter too much of late and the theme was dark. So on the Twitter site, I clicked on "Settings," found "Theme," and clicked on that to find Dark and Light. What a pain.

KEEP MOBILE HOTSPOT FROM DISCONNECTING
I am trying to figure out ways to keep my tethering to a hotspot from disconnecting. This page so far has offered the most help.
1. Restart the phone. Check.
2. Modify hotspot timeout settings. Check.
3. Disable Battery Saver. Check. We'll see how that results.
4. Disable Wifi. Mobile Hotspot on Android only supports the tethering of cellular data/internet. When connected to a Wi-fi network, you cannot share your Android smartphone's internet to other devices via Mobile Hotspot. This is what causes Android Hotspot to keep turning off sometimes.
5. Update phone. One of the best ways to avoid such glitches is to keep your phone's Android OS up to date. Some old Android versions have a history of breaking the Mobile Hotspot functionality. So, try updating your device's operating system and hopefully, that should fix the problem of mobile hotspot turning off.

I've been trying to sync my text messages to my Gmail account. Not easy to find the correct and updated instructions. How-to Geek is usually pretty helpful. None of these internet/phone tasks are simple. So I followed the direction to download the SMS Backup, but after I agreed to surrender my contacts, the app doesn't load. Woe is me. Apparently, the SMS Backup+ is not launching because there is now broken due to API changes.

Today was the last day, or so it seems, that I posted a question on Bill Myers' site. I will miss his help. I wrote,
I am trying to retrieve data (contacts & messages) from the SIM card of a previous phone. I bought this card reader
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08F58DQVB?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image]
that claimed it could perform such a task. But the smallest slot on the reader is for a micro SD card, not a SIM card. I was not able to find a dedicated SIM card reader. Do you know what tool I need to read a SIM card and download its contents? Thanks, Bill.
He answered me that night,
There are three different sizes for SIM cards and it looks like the device you bought will work with the standard SIM card. You are likely wanting to read a micro or nano SIM card - which is what most phones use now. See the different sizes at https://www.4g.co.uk/news/sim-card-sizes-standard-micro-and-nano-explained/
There are adapters that let you put a micro or nano in a standard case. I don't know if these will work with the reader you bought. https://www.amazon.com/iSYFIX-Card-Adapter-Nano-Micro/dp/B00R25GJJW

Okay, so 2 problems have been detected. Maybe they're one and the same problem. The 2 messages that I get are 1) the LG K7 process system isn't responding and 2) LG K7 Service is Disabled.
The question is How to fix this?
If I can get it to start, go to SETTINGS. Then go to SYSTEM.

I opted for the "Reject Call" option. All that does is reject incoming calls. The person calling will still get my voicemail.
For the Samsung phone, it looks like the same setup is in place.
When you block a phone number on a Samsung Galaxy S10, calls and text messages from that number will no longer arrive on your phone. You can still place calls and texts to the blocked number, and the recipient will be able to answer your call, but not your texts.

If you hear only one ring or no ring at all before your call goes to voicemail, this is a good indication you're blocked. In this case, the person has used the number blocking feature on their phone. If you call once a day for a few days and get the same result each time, that is strong evidence your number is blocked.

The biggest problem with the phone is Storage Full: Cannot Receive Messages.
Not enough internal storage. Some actions are limited. Delete some files to operate normally.
Okay, so this is the question: what do I delete? What is important? What do I use? What can I toss and not have any regrets over? And if I do have regrets, or some app compromises the function of others, can I get that app back, say, at the Google Play Store?

Bill Myers put up a post that fits right into my wheelhouse. He offers up a site called, Swappa, where you can shop for rebuilt/refurbished phones, and iPhones, where you can pay only a couple hundred dollars instead of the $1,000 price for a new one.

Just learned that my Android offers free updates. Pretty cool. I currently have an Android, version 5.1 and I need version 6.0 for a job. The Update size offered by Metro is 68.6 MB. But it has to be Version 6.0. Make sure. I currently have 1.5 RAM whereas I need at least 2 RAM for this job. You get the updates by going to Settings.

Metro PCS charges me $5 for every gigabyte I use at a hotspot. That seems like it's too much and by the second week of the month, it is all used up. There has got to be a better way to get the hotspots.
Metro PCS' plan is here:
Requires capable device. Certain restrictions apply. For data capped plans, full available speeds apply to monthly data allotment, then speeds slowed for remainder of payment cycle. For $50 unlimited smartphone LTE data plan, mobile hotspot not available. For $60 unlimited smartphone LTE data plan, full available speeds apply to 8GB of hotspot data per payment cycle, then speeds slowed for remainder of payment cycle.Okay, what that means is that my $60/month plan that I get 8 GB of hotspot data per payment cycle. Apparently, I am using that hotspot data up pretty early in my cycle. And I am not performing anything online out of the ordinary--some video, all of my usual cites, but certainly no gaming or movies with hotspot data. No, wait, that is not completely true. At the rental, I do watch movies on my laptop. And that laptop is using the hotspot data. Drats!
Two speeds: Data speed & Tethering speed.
A word to the wise on this one--with most unlimited plans, the carriers will often deprioritize tethering data over on-device data at times of high network congestion. This means in times of major traffic (you're at a packed airport terminal or football stadium where everyone and their Aunt Jasmine is on their phones) your tethering data speed might drop down to 3G or 2G depending on what carrier you're with. But once the traffic has cleared, your speeds should increase.A few important details about my LG K7 phone. I want to know what the different letters stand for. The K7 refers to the development name for the Athlon personal computer microprocessor. Really? Why retain this? Makes no sense to me.
K7 was the development name for the Athlon personal computer microprocessor from AMD, the microprocessor and flash memory maker. The Athlon became the first microprocessor for mainstream PCs to support a 200 MHz system bus and to achieve a 1 gigahertz clock speed. As Athlon, different versions of the K7 are built with either the 0.25 micron infrastructure that is used in the popular K6 microprocessor or, as for the 1 GHz model, with a 0.18 micron infrastructure.Okay, fine. What does the LG stand for? LG stands for Lucky Goldstar and is a South Korean electronics company. Fine. Least now I know what I own. How did these phones occupy such a strong niche in the cell phone marketplace?
Here are the full specs for the phone.
How much hotspot coverage is included in my $60/month, Unlimited Talk & Text? Whatever it is I use it up early in my payment cycle. I then pay $5/gigabyte, usually spending up to $20 and that, too, gets used up early in my cycle. So by mid-month, I am out of hotspot coverage. Which means that I am spending $40 alone on hotspot coverage and $60/month for my plan. That's $100/month for the use of my phone. That's too much. Find out how many hotspot gigs my $60 plan comes with.

Micro SD Card goes on top of the SIM card.
The gentleman at the Metro PCS store on Lake @ Villa was extremely helpful. He had the perfect tone. He was gracious, informative, and showed me my way around a soft-reset. to do a soft reset, you need to open the phone at the bottom right, remove the battery, remove the SIM card and wait for a few, say five, seconds. Then reassemble everything and it should reboot.

Check to see if your phone has a document scanner by going to Google Drive, tap the + sign and see if a scanner icon pops up. You can only do this on your phone. On your phone, open up the Google Drive app. You'll find a fairly large red button at the bottom right with a white plus sign inside of it. Press that and you'll see the camera icon with the word "Scan" beneath it. The scan option is essentially a camera option. The only difference is that you can send it differently, you can send it like a scanned document.

As a possible workaround, please consider performing a factory reset on your phone and see if this would correct the issue that occurred. But by doing so, it will erase everything on your phones such as your contacts, pictures, music, applications, and settings. Resetting the operating system will clear any bugs that have developed and restored the software to factory standard. Please back up your phone’s contents before performing that procedure.
From Home screen, tap APPS > SETTINGS > GENERAL tab (if applicable) > BACKUP & RESET > FACTORY DATA RESET > RESET > RESET PHONE.
Or . . . .

4) Release all keys when the Factory hard reset screen is displayed.
5) Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key to continue.
6) Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key once more to confirm.
7) Your device will perform a factory reset.
If the issue persists even after the reset, you are welcome to send in the device to our facility so that our licensed technicians may run a full diagnostic test on the device and perform necessary repairs to address the issue—or to have it replaced under warranty if necessary.

Am having problems with my phone. Surprise. What's happening is that when I turn on the WiFi on my phone and then scroll down to "Tethering" and tap on that, I get the option to turn on the "Mobile HotSpot." I turn that on. Once I do, a connection is established, a network is visually displayed but I am not getting a connection so I go back to WiFi connection only to find that it has turned off. I do get a message that if I use the USB cable to tether a hotspot, the Wi-Fi will turn off. But I am not using a USB cable. I have but not now, not this time.
I've learned that LG K7 has an owner's manual. I'll take a look at that. I sent LG an email on Friday, May 20, 2016, at 6:54pm. Live Chat is an option but was disconnected when I tried on Friday.

I bought a new cell phone a few weeks back from the Shysters at Metro PCS in Temple City. The store was unmanned by two millennials, one Asian boy and a black boy. The black kid was playing with his phone at work. Hmmm. Maybe he was encouraged to do so. The Asian boy led me to a Chinese-made phone that had a bit more power. Given that it was made in China, I asked if there were any compatibility problems. He reassured me that there were none. So I bought it. It had an odd name to it. ZTE or something like that. I hated the keyboard on the phone. You'd press a key and the key wouldn't register on the screen. Frustrating. Then later that night the data network on the phone seized. I said forget it--that I would take it back. So I returned to the Temple City Metro PCS store unmanned by the two boys. I spoke initially to the young black man. He listened sympathetically but he had no power to make me whole again by accepting the phone back. The Asian boy stepped in behind me following an aborted attempt to buy some lunch next door, for he saw me enter his store as he was going in next door to get some lunch.

Here is one option for clearing apps from my phone. Again, never specific enough but I guess we should be grateful that we have anything.
I removed this app, AllShare Cast Dongle from my phone. If it's important I can always add it back.
This video helped me see the "All" pane inside the Applications Manager. So this video was worth it. But it offers no recommendations for which apps to remove. I don't know all of what the apps do, which ones are important or ones used as adjuncts for important apps.
This video at least showed me that there is more than one card that goes into a phone.
Well, I am learning a lot about my phone as I am trying to remove the apps. There is the SIM card. But just above the SIM card slot is a space where I can put a Micro SD card. Amazing.
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy Light. I presume it is the S4 but have yet to find confirmation of that.
Note that the MicroSD card slot is directly above the SIM card slot. The above video is the first one I've seen that illustrates this design.
This was helpful too, for it showed me that there are other panes in my Applications Manager. The panes in the App Manager are:
1) Downloaded
2) SD Card
3) Running
4) All
5) Turned Off
I am just thankful that I came across this stuff when I did. Today. Because I am trying to download PdaNet. Oh, brother. Nothing is simple.

1) ChooEUKor [as is RoseEUKor and CoolEUKor (says a "call blocker"?)] is an alternate font. Alternate means it's not the primary. The type of apps that you removed are called bloatware. That link also provides a nice list of Bloatware, a list of unwanted apps that you could remove.
There are the APK apps, Android Application Packages, the ones you see with the tiny green R2D2 robot.
2) ShouldIRemoveIt might be a useful site in deciding on which app to remove from my phone.
3) Here is a list of some terrific phone apps for my Android from Bill Myers.
4) Turns out that I didn't really need to remove any of the apps. That all I needed to do was to remove pictures. I had a lot of pictures on my phone, 257 of them from Torrance. The sequence to remove pictures is easy it turns out.
5) The PDANet from my phone stated that I needed PDANet 4.0 or higher. Okay. So I downloaded version 4.18, PDANet+ FoxFi. I have no idea what that is. That program is made by June Fabrics Technology.
