No Siri on iPad Air 2

So Siri was missing from my iPad Air 2 and having searched and reviewed a number of google results I still could not find and answer. I was surprised by the number of people experiencing the same problem. Basically Siri was appearing in settings and although listed in restricted apps, that was not the problem.

Solution
If you have a newer version iPad that should have Siri and you can't find it even after a reset and backup, the only other explanation is that the iPad is using a restricted ecosystem. For example, a profile set up by your work which restricts Siri. As soon as I removed the work profile, Siri was back again.

You are welcome!

My Frustration with O2 and lack of understanding of support for the 4G version of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3

Image
I have made a video  of how to connect to O2 or EE if that is where you would like to start.    Context I have owned both Samsung and Apple smartwatches since the first issues of both. I review tech on YouTube so know a little bit about this subject. My last network-enabled smartwatch was an Apple Watch connected to O2. Setup was straightforward. Query I want an eSIM plan to use with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (4G version) and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I am already on a phone plan with O2. Contact and advice Phone call – Screened as not urgent.

There is no plan for the Galaxy Watch 3 or information for the 4G smartwatch except for pairing. I decided to use the conversation feature within the MyO2 app. Conversation feature (a feature like instant messenger within the O2 app to talk to tech support) Cannot help with

Galaxy s2 battery drain after ics update (Poor battery life)

So if you have now got your ics update you will be over the moon. I have had mine for a few days and i have to say, it's the best mobile phone operating system i've ever used (yes i've used ios longer than i've been on android). I'm not going to go into this though. I've noticed one problem which is battery drain. Now i don't know the technical stuff apart from things like turning off bluetooth, wifi, etc saves battery. I'm gonna tell you that you don't need to change any of the settings you had before the upgrade. What you need to do is let your battery go flat and then charge it fully from the mains not bluetooth. Do this a few times (usually takes a week of using ics to sort the problem out) and the system seems to optimise battery use and should be back to how it was before the upgrade.
