I need one for my cat.
Goedzo ("well done" in English) sits in the kitchen next to the closet-door that holds the food, and makes sounds for an hour or two. Feels like cursing.

What a great way to make a yappy dog even more annoying to strangers, and ensure that it gets kicked more often.
Aren't there animal protection laws in the backward country this came from?

Wrong translation.

... you can set it so only specific contacts can call or text you. Hmmm ... if you set all your contacts as "priority" then cold calls, advert texts, and scammers can't bother you again ... I can see a use for that. Permanently on, in fact.

I'd prefer a hosts-file for that; one could share it, for a fee

Better. I got the Blade of GLoRy.
It's got +N where N is the number of ambiguities you're up against.
It works well on crowds.

In case you missed my edit to an earlier post on this topic:
About a week ago, Macrium brought out an update to Reflect that appears to have had a bug that interfered with the creation of rescue media. Yesterday (Saturday Feb 15) they brought out the latest update that fixed the bug.
If you use Reflect: Make sure you are running the very latest update (Build 7.2.4732) or you may run into issues with the creation of rescue media. This build version applies to the free version. I don't know if the paid version has the same build number.

Good to know.
Thank you

My trusty - and fully working - old Moto G (series 1) which has done sterling service for around seven years is being replaced because it just doesn't have enough space. It's only got 8GB, no expansion capability, and Google have shoved so much bloat into it's poor frame over the years that it's got less than 1GB left.
And I need just over 1GB to install the Here WeGo England maps so I have satnav on the way to a funeral in two weeks. And since my Nexus 7 can't find enough satellites if there is a cloud around, and my Surface is far, far too big to attach to the car I've got to get a new one.
Nothing too fancy, just a lot of space and expansion capability, and maybe enough screen to replace the phone and Nexus 7 as my book reader and games-while-Herself-does-something-and-I-wait-around machine.
So I picked a Huawei P30 Lite: screen is only about 3/4" (2cm) smaller than the tablet, but the whole thing is around 1" (2.5cm) longer, and 1/4" (.75cm) wider than the phone, so it should fit in my pocket. And that 8GB rises to 128GB, with space for a 512GB SD card!
And OK, I'm not over interested in the cameras, but ... 48mp rear? 24mp for selfies? Holy moly batman! My first digital camera was a large-for-the-time 1.5mp and cost more than this whole phone ... 
I've bought a case to glue a metal strip onto so I can use the mag mounts in the car, and a nano sim is on it's way from my mobile phone signal provider.
All I've got to do now is install the software and ebooks, music, TV, ... I keep on the tablet (groan).
Plus my contacts / calendar, but Google should handle that for me.
Oh, and learn to use it ... bugger. There's always something.

I'm on my third or fourth newer model smartphone, (all acquired by way of one or other family member getting a phone on a new/renewed service contract but already bought something much better).
It's true: the newer phones can do all the stuff the older ones did. beyond that I'm not sure.
Does your Welsh provider not free (or really cheap) roam to England? Google maps not part of the old phone?
I've used Here WeGo in the antipodes (offline - coming from Singapore so roaming is ex) - it's really quite good and accurate fully offline (unless worried about speed cameras.).
Remember to update the maps (at home - wifi) before subsequent trips because there's no auto update or nagging just because of an update. (another reason I like it - if not in regular use why update - untill it's needed?)
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!
