    Google drive is a remote (cloud) hard disk, it saves files as they are and knows nothing about photos or reduction of their resolution.

    ^ Thanks Lom... and to Harry.

    I backed up all the photos to Google Drive no problem, so now I have compressed pics on Google Photos and full resolution on Google Drive. I didn't know there was such a thing.

    The moisture notification is now on full time, but what with a visit to the vets and restocking chlorine and sausages there was not time to get to the service centre today. That's tomorrow's job.

    My new 'high speed' wireless charger came yesterday and after leaving the damn phone on it overnight it was only at 76% in the morning. I don't know how people put up with them.

    Furthermore, I used the charger in the car today on my way to the vet and every time I went over a bump in the road the bladdy phone jumped off the charger and landed on the floor. I'm gonna use this wireless thing for emergencies only.

    I took the phone to the Samsung Service Centre today and they're gonna replace the mother board under warranty.

    At least I think that's what they said.

    I'm back on my old A5 so no more food pics for a few days!

    Result.

    Dont put it anywhere near water after you get it back. Itll never be as waterproof as it was once they break the seals and open it up

    I discovered this 'Your Phone' today on Windows store.

    You can pair your Samsung up to your laptop and make calls, send messages, whatsapp and see all your photos and notifications on your lappy. Its pretty good.

    Also did you know your phone can pair up two different bluetooth speakers at the same time?

    Bored. I need to get out

    I bet it's not so easy with a Mac... anything rarely is.

    I've only got one Bluetooth speaker... I'll have to get another.

    Bored as well!

    Look at the Echo Studio.

    I am continually amazed by the quality of the sound, and it will pair with anything.

    And you can play from Spotify or Amazon Music with a voice command.

    I picked my phone from the Service Centre today... all fixed under warranty.

    All they had to do was replace the charging port, so no loss of data and no need to migrate the Apps back, etc.

    I sat in the car after picking it up and nothing worked, so I took it back in to the service guy to see what was wrong. He turned on 'Mobile Data' and it was as good as new.

    What a dick!
