I'm looking for a particular cable for an electronic gadget I've discovered in one of my baskets. It's a tiny media player which I can clip on to my shirt and might be useful when I go for a walk. Of course, it's a bit old and the required cable is obsolete. Maybe Jamie will have one hanging around.
I might have had a whinge in a previous post about my problems with listening to audio on my walk each morning. I've been using my phone and find that it switches itself off when I reach the corner where I turn for home. And it won't switch on again. I wondered whether it has a built-in mechanism to turn off after a certain number of minutes to save power.
Not so, says Jamie. The problem is that you don't have your Gefooly switch on, so the 'phone is still connecting to your internet and that's why you can connect to podcasts. When you reach a certain distance from home (and lose your internet connection) the 'phone detects the loss of that link and switches off. (The switch may not be called Gefooley!)
Anyway, he's now switched it on and I'll give it a go this morning. As a backup, I need the cable for the media player. It's old technology and I'm more comfortable with that.
