Looks like from the picture you posted you have a pair of power lines adapters. Am I right in saying one is connected to the router and the other is connected to the mag box? These use the internal wiring of the house to transfer the internet from one place to another providing their on the same circuit. The only thing I can suggest is (if possible) make sure the adapters are plugged directly into the wall and not into an extension lead. They’ll work a lot better this way but may not be possible depending on your setup.

No need to go replacing the mag box with another device either.

Can you download the Speedtest app to your phone and run a speedtest. (PM me your result if you want to hide your IP)

Not one glitch this evening. Also @FatChops moved my buffering out to ten seconds.
Seems to have worked a treat lads.
Thank you

Sometimes there can be a big difference on either side of a double socket. So running the speed test is always a good idea to find the right spot.

Nice one man!

Screen gone on my old phone. Is it possible to transfer contacts and apps from old phone to new that are not on SIM? Old phone is still on but display gone so can’t see anything on it. Android to Android.

Connect the busted one up to a laptop with usb and i think you csn view the folder contents

[mikehunt]

Hook new one up as well and drag across?

[anon78624367]

Ya. Do old one first. Save off and then transfer to new one

[mikehunt]

Much obliged

If you go for the same phone or same manufacturer, the phones PC loaded software should be able to clone everything across.

How do I turn off this fucking predictive text. I have a pain in my hole going back in to edit posts

[Copper_pipe]

Android is it ?

[iron_mike]

Yup. Samsung of some sort

[Copper_pipe]

Settings > Language and Inputs

Should be an option there

[iron_mike]

Cheers kid. I’ll let you know how I get on. I should have it sorted in an hour or two

I went for a lovely refreshing 5 minute swim this morning on playa chica beach in Lanzarote with my new Samsung 8 smartphone in the pocket of my swimming shorts. It’s working away grand since and I’m typing this on it. Would anyone have any idea if the phone is about to die or can it survive a morning dip,?

[Horsebox]

You should’ve taken the phone out of your pocket before going for a swim, mate.

[Gman]

@TreatyStones knew a fella who went for a long swim with one too and it was fine.

They are supposed to be waterproof. I’ve a S7 and it was submerged in water one time. There was a bit of an issue charging it, but once it dried out fully it was grand.

[PhattPike]

If it’s working now you’ll probably be fine, airing out electronic devices in an airing cupboard for a couple of days before turning it on is the usual trick.
