Re: [CODE4LIB] Cell Phone - Voice Mail Indicator

2022-01-25 Thread Thomas Dowling
Without knowing what you consider a budget buster, let me suggest a Pixel 5a. The voicemail icon is on the always-on display and IIRC the number that called you displays on the lock screen (if you enable lock screen notifications). If you can spring for a Pixel 6, you get the voicemail transcriptio

You may need to describe in more detail what you're trying to do and what isn't working for you. If it's an app issue, how is it also a phone issue? And if it's also a problem with a charging cable, isn't the solution just to get a better cable? On Sun, Jun 5, 2022 at 9:38 PM charles meyer wrote:

Depending on how the website is preventing you from downloading the video, you may be able to get it using the Firefox web developer tools (Menu -> More Tools -> Web Developer Tools or Ctrl-Shift-I). Open the Network tab and the Media sub-tab, reload the web page, start the video, and see if its U

Also, phones are able to connect to multiple types of networks (makes sense: they need to work in areas where there's one type and not another). In my experience, there will be an indicator in the top icon bar, or at least information in Settings, showing what network the phone is currently on. As

"Look at the LTE section – it will display all the frequencies that your phone can use" "Typing in that IMEI number at that site reveals all sorts of numbers at the LTE" Right - those are the specific frequency bands over which your phone can talk LTE. Any 3g access you have is going to be over GS

Re: [CODE4LIB] QR Code replacement for business card

2023-11-15 Thread Thomas Dowling
I had this same conversation with a colleague recently. She was making a QR code that just pointed to her Linkedin profile as her "contact". I suggested a QR-ified vCard contact. It's probably a matter of what works best for your particular situation. The helpful takeaway is that a QR code need not
