Moving the files using the PC from one phone to the next one used to work too. I did it when my wife changed the phone last time (3-4 years ago?)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I had to do the backup from WhatsApp on my old phone (Android v8), as it was not included in Google backup. Might be that things have changed in newer Android versions.

THis is Samsung Android 13 to Samsung Android 13 ... you'd think they would get at least the basics right by now ... it's not as if they don't want you to upgrade the hardware as often as possible!

I have been trying to upgrade my EE package but their website is total crap. Select the option to view packages and it just goes round in circles. It also says it cannot log me in, even though I'm already logged in.

I went into the shop and got a staffer to do it all for me. Got my name wrong (there is no "K" in "Paul") but saved me loads of hassle. Mind you, the Vodafone site is generally worse - to the point where I changed my login to "IHateThisCrap" and my password to an obscenity.

Given the product(s) that they want us to buy you would think it's in their interest to have a decent website.

I feel your pain. Mrs. Wife's phone died this week, as the home/power button would neither home nor power. Mine has been slowly dying with an ever-shortening operating life on a charge.
I replaced both our phones today. Fortunately the phone dude recovered contacts and calendar data for both. It took me a couple of hours to get hers laid out the way she had the original. Mine was a little harder. Our original phones were 3-4 generations old, so things have changed.
As a moderately cranky old person, changes annoy me.

Do you remember the times when techie guys used to make fun of wives not being able to program the VCR? God, where are those simple times? Even writing "VCR" makes me feel incredibly old!

My first VCR did not do automatic channel scanning, even from cable TV. I had to manually set each channel, which took over an hour. To top it all off, the channel settings would be lost if the power went off for more than a few seconds.

Maybe you should offer your WhatsApp recovery services to Boris and Rishi

At the risk of getting political here, I suspect they would pay more to ensure they could never be recovered ...

greetings and kind regards
perhaps some here have seen YouTube videos of mathematics whereupon presenter writes on apparent glass pane and is seen apparently behind said pane yet the writing is facing the viewer as shown in link below . how the heck does that work ???

thank you kindly

I'm betting it is a real glass (or plexiglass or something similar), and he really is writing on it, and the footing has been flipped left-to-right.
|

Thank you for your kind assistance in this matter. May I please inquire what is a "footing"?

The individual film frames. I don't know where I've heard the term used in the film industry - maybe my dyslexia has it confused with another term.

The glass pane is a "drawing" device ... what he "sees" is shown (on) somewhere else ... A "screen" behind / in front of the glass pane (depending on your perspective). Then a transparent screen that projects back to the audience. And his glass is one-way so he doesn't get thrown off. (Or none of the above).

Note that the guy appears to be writing with his left hand. He may of course be a 'leftie', but it is more likely that he is writing with his right hand, and the image has been mirrored, to get the mirrored text on the glass back to normal.

Da Vinci, for one. It's been well documented that he learned to write 'backwards' so as not to stain his sleeves with ink, and then you had to use a mirror to read his notes. Something like that anyway.

Not so much as writing backwards, Da Vinci was a crazy genius.
I was referring to "the writing on glass techniques". Very clever.
Still trying to fully understand the camera play.
