At least the NHS app now works. And having MyPhoneExplorer allowed
easy restore of the contacts list and so on.

I can see now why so many just get a new phone.

Glad I sold my S2 last year! Well, to be honest, used it to get a money
back on a new Samsung phone and flogged that at a reasonable profit.

Not being a heavy phone user, I was quite happy with the S4. Decent camera
etc and battery life.

All I wanted was to run the NHS app on it (if we do need this as a
vaccination passport), and now I've installed the later OS I can.

And here, but only since the plastic credit-card sized licences
replaced the first part of the licence.

In the days when both parts of the driving licence were paper
documents, I didn't carry either part with me.

Wasn't there a rumour that covid passports will appear in the "NHS App"
that does your prescription tracking etc, rather than in the "NHS covid
app" which just does the exposure notification?

I don't know if what Grant Schapps says ranks above or below a rumour
these days but he told Sky News "we're working on an application...it
will be an NHS app that is used for people when they book appointments
with the NHS and so on"

Mine is only there when out of the house, too thick to be
comfortable all the time tho that would be less of a problem
now that I only need a couple of cards for a backup for when
I manage to leave the phone in the car when shopping.

And we are legally required to have the drivers license on
us when driving. They dont actually execute those who
dont but its a damned nuisance to have to show up to
the cop shop and prove you are licensed. Tho now the
cops can see your license on their system and compare
the photo with your face etc.

And I havent worn trousers for decades, its
always cargo pants, jeans or shorts in summer.

.... but there isn't just one "NHS App" is there? There seem to be
several commercial enterprises who provide access to one's NHS records
and facilities.

While there are several commercial apps I think there is only one from

Correct. But neither ran on the old OS5.

That sounds not dissimilar to our "producer" system where you nominate a
police station where you have to take your documents within 7 days.
