Some great work from Shawfire, who put this banner together for our night. It’s only a couple of weeks to go for a great night and a great cause.

Wonderful to catch up with John O’Brien, whose wife Bianka and son Jude were taken in the Rozelle fire in 2014. John has created a new charity in Jude’s name, to assist families in the immediate aftermath of a fire that has taken their home ❤️

I’ve agree to work with John and Bianka’s brother James to try to make use of the site of the fire for the community.

I let John know that everyone in Rozelle still feels great love and compassion for him and all the victims of the tragedy.

Hi everyone! James here!

Have had an influx of Balmaniacs & Rozellas calling up and coming in over the last couple days with issues with their Samsung phones.
Thought I might share the fix to those that might be facing the issue.

Hope it’s useful and helps!!

*Samsung app crash Issue*

If you're experiencing a bunch of apps suddenly crashing on your recent Samsung phone, you're not alone. This afternoon, reports from dozens then hundreds of users on the Samsung subreddit started coming in, complaining of apps crashing on their phones, constantly and seemingly at random. It's causing some major headaches.

Users of recent Samsung phones - Galaxy S20 and S21, Note 20, A50 and A70 series, among others seem to be the most heavily affected.

*How to Fix the Recent App Crashes*

Go to the main Android Settings menu, then tap "Apps & Notifications" (just "Applications" on some phones). Find Android System Webview in the list and tap it. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right of this screen, then select "Uninstall updates." This won't uninstall Android System Webview completely it's an essential component, and many apps will cease to function without it. Instead, it will remove the updates installed from the Play Store and restore it to the previous version.

Back by popular demand!!

James here, independent owner operator of fonelife aka Vodafone Balmain.

About a month ago I opened a poll for thoughts on bringing mobile phone and tablet repairs back to Balmain.

I’m pleased to announce we now have an onsite technician in on a part time basis.

We wouldn’t wish misfortune like a busted phone on anyone. But we’re here to ease the catastrophe! 😂🤣😂
