I Really Don't Understand How.....

[gness]

....I can't get to grips with my new phone..... :-(

I managed, with great joy, to set the alarm for five thirty all week and that worked fine....well the two people I called when I was trying to turn it off won't agree....but never mind....

Last night I arrived home exhausted and more than a little emotional......had a glass of wine.... well it'd been a dry week......and, making sure the phone was off, I snuggled down to sleep looking forward to a well earned lie in.....

And at five forty five the blasted phone alarm started ringing downstairs!

I had named the phone Rose......because it was given to me second hand.......

Rose is now under all the sofa cushions and I'm looking for a new name for her.......probably none of the names I was calling her as I stumbled downstairs at five forty five!.....

How did your concert go?

Everybody manage to stay awake?

[gness]

Love the avatar! The concert was just fantastic, Shoota......every performance was a joy......

I'm now know by the pupils in my favourite ever choir as the lovely, funny lady.......some of them I'll never see again as they have to leave their school now.....but I'll never, ever forget them.......x

[aelmpvw]

if you try to tell us the new name for your phone ab will probably change it to a row of asterisks

[gness]

AB doesn't have enough asterisks for all I'd said by the time I got downstairs, Ael!...x

[shoota]

I think you are a funny lady too......

[shoota]

But you are lovely! XXX

If it's an android device, just say, 'Okay Google, cancel alarm'

[Tilly2]

I know this might sound sniffy, Gness, but have you read the instructions?

[aelmpvw]

reading instructions for a smart phone can be daunting, you're better off asking a young teenager

[gness]

Thank you, Shoota....xxx

I don't have an instruction book, Tilly.......and I did think alarm on.....alarm off....would be simple and trouble free....... :-(

It's not, Hc.....that would work if I'd set the alarm and were expection it......having one go off that you'd not set would still be a surprise.........x

I'll search out a young teenager, Ael.......and write out the instructions in my own simple fashion......x

[hc4361]

For the love of a puppy, tell us the make and model of the blerdy phone

[emmie]

my smartphone alarm goes off at odd hours, it's usually when i have put a date into the calender on the phone, and forget to say pm or am when the appointment is due, hence i have been woken at 2am, not funny..

[shoota]

Don't they call it puppy lurrr-ererervve?

[gness]

Don't talk to me about puppies and love, Hc! One adjudicator and I got attacked by a dog this week....we had to form a back to back defence and ward it off with canvas bags of music sheets as we went round in circles.....!

Not to worry thanks, Hc.....I don't know anyway and it doesn't say.....but I've been pressing buttons and found Siri......I now have an Australian guy who will turn on and off the alarm if I speak to him....and that's easy for me.....

I asked him to set an alarm and he did....then I said....cancel alarm and he said....Ok....Skip it!

That is fantastic.....I'll have to play with this more..... But thank you....x.xx

[gness]

Thanks, Emmie......I will remember to tell Bruce...my Aussie Siri......am or pm.....x

my not so smart little gadget came with everything except instrucions, well, there were instructions of how to turn it on, off, couldn't answer it for weeks, one day the nurse called to my house and the phone rang, I made no effort to answer it and she looked on at me in a puzzled way, asked me do I want to answer, of course I wanted to answer, but every time I tried it never worked, so I missed tons of calls, she showed me that I had to slide my finger over the phone to the green bit, nowhere in the book with the tiny print was it explained how to answer the little fancy pants of a gadget

[emmie]

whatever you do don't charge it in the bathroom, as a guy did recently and was electrocuted, not remotely funny, poor guy.

[hc4361]

Hurrah! It's an iPhone!

Only God can judge :|

[gness]

Ducksie....I've kept my little old phone so I can answer calls on that......like you I get a bit confused with this one.....
I think they are a bit sensitive....I thought I had turned it off for the quiz one night....and I'd accidentally called my daughter in Switzerland......x

[gness]

Oh...did you get that from Siri, Hc?.......do you know it amazes me what folk know and I don't.......but then I can thread up an overlocker in record time with my eyes shut.....

Is it me God is judging?.....Bet I don't get a pass mark let alone a distinction..... :-(

No...it's charged in the bedroom, Emmie...on a five foot long bright pink lead.....I lost the piddly little thing that came with it.....
