    Whatsapp woes

    I did get it from Play Store. I was referring to the mechanism to verify by inputting a code sent by SMS, which had failed because a window popped up saying the SMS could not be sent, wait 1 hour then try again. This sequence just kept repeating. We have actually got it sorted now. I...

    Whatsapp woes

    Okay, I'll try that again before attempting to contact Whatsapp. I was tempted to do that anyway. I did wonder whether the reason it wasn't in the app drawer was because it hadn't been verified.

    Whatsapp woes

    Yes, I do mean home screen and no it isn't in the app drawer. As I said it can only be found in Apps within Settings. We did try clicking on the greyed-out boxes but, predictably, it didn't do anything. We'll try contacting Whatsapp as you suggest. Thanks for the link.

    Whatsapp woes

    My wife recently had to send her Samsung A41 in for repair (don't ask!!) so she reverted back to her earlier J5. This all worked, no problem, but after putting the SIM back into the repaired A41 she's hit a problem with Whatsapp verification. It keeps reporting that it isn't able to send the SMS...

    Is there any way to find the source of these alert sounds?

    Just to update, I was wrong and it is 5. Since turning on the notification history I have identified one that made the sound without a message. It was Samsung keyboard. God only knows what triggered that but I went back into show system apps in Notifications and found it, along with a load more...

    Is there any way to find the source of these alert sounds?

    Hi Hadron, thanks for that. When I tapped show system apps a number of the ones that came up had notifications enabled and I've turned them off so we'll see what difference that makes. I found notification history was turned off. I've enabled that so hopefully if we get any more I can now track...

    Is there any way to find the source of these alert sounds?

    My wife has a Samsung A41 runnung Android 12. It frequently gives what I presume to be the default system alert sound (4 tones) but when she unlocks there is no indication of the source. Pulling down the notification panel there's nothing there, and no flags on any apps. I've been through...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    Yes, I agree it seems very likely that Google won't regard it as a priority. Looking on the bright side if the aid manufacturer decides to do something about it at least it's possible to update the firmware using the app. One can live in hope.

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    I'm old enough to remember someone wearing a hearing aid consisting of a single earphone and a box hanging on a lanyard round their neck :LOL:. Yes the app does have a very basic equaliser : bass, mid and treble. Me neither but it does. Assuming you're right about the S22 5G my phone ought to...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    I've only recently bought my S22 so it will be a while before I upgrade again - I kept the last one for 7 years! I didn't hesitate to go for a hearing test as soon as I became aware my hearing was getting poor. You'll probably laugh but I check my hearing by how well I can hear the bleeps from...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    It is indeed disappointing. I can see you are not in the UK :). My aids were provided by the NHS so I don't have the option of exchanging them for different ones, even if compatible ones exist for my phone. From what I've gleaned it appears that I would have had a much wider choice and much...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    I've had a very prompt response from the manufacturer. Looks like I'm out of luck : ******************* Please check our list of compatible phones on our website. go.gn.com/app-support Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G Samsung Galaxy S22 5G These are the S22 models listed...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    Hi olbriar, Thanks again for your reply. I always turn my phone off overnight and also my aids so I've effectively done what you suggest. In fact, as I mentioned in my edit to my earlier post I am now getting sound and vibration notifications from K-9 although not every time a new message comes...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    I suppose this ought really to be in a separate thread as it's a bit off topic. However in answer to your questions: I was going in via Settings > Notifications > App Notifications as shown in my earlier screenshots so I'm sure you're right in that the apps are 'doing their own thing'. As you...

    Bluetooth hearing aids have messed up app notifications

    On the subject of notifications is it me or have the Android notification settings become considerably more disorganised in recent versions? For example when trying to find and set an individual sound for each app there seems to be no consistency in the paths to the list of sounds. You have to...
