Xperia 1L

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 06:46:18 GMT

Is blinking blue dot in top left hand corner of phone a sign I've received a voicemail?

If so, how do I read this message ... & ... then turn voicemail off?

This is a new phone, my 1st Android

Dial 901 to listen to voicemail.
Press 3 to delete messages.
Then dial 1760 to turn off voicemail.

When my phone shows a blinking blue light it means I have some sort of notification...

Yeah, it's some sort of notification from an app.

Whatever the notification, just slide your finger down from the top of the screen and it will open up your notification panel.
Anything that is causing the flashing blue light will be listed in there.
With Android, you get notifications from most of your apps this way such as Facebook, email etc.

Thank you @MI5, @Cleoriff @viridis

I have now turned voicemail off

The blinking blue dot has disappeared ... it may have been Facebook

This Xperia 1L is certainly more sophisticated than my old Lumia 50lte ... but ... it is easy to use

Thank you for answering my basic question(s)

Yes @Cleoriff ... I've been loyal to Nokia (Lumia) for years ... I kinda thought these 'fancy phones' were only for the likes of the tech competent & expensive

Proud to be part of the Android Army ... I can hear @viridis laughing his little sox off at me

I have opened up the list of notifications

Under memory: transfer data to Sim card

Internal storage is 95% full

Tap to move application and then something about inserting an sd card, no sd card.

I AM PANICKING

I have Googled 'What is an sd card' and 'sd card for Android'

I am still very unsure and does this sd card always have to be visible as an extension to the phone

I have colleywobbles in my stomach over this

I have yet to switch Facebook off ... not sure now of my password or indeed how to switch Facebook off

CONFUSED . COM

Sorry

@Anonymous

You need a micro SD card from Amazon etc.

Get at least 32gb. Only around £7 for a good one.

You put it in the SD card slot in phone and just leave it in there.

Transfer all your photos and videos to it to clear space on phone.
