Help Photos: deletes duplicate photo without permission

Why not just share a link to the renamed photos?
Then you do not need to download them.

But Google has become stingy with their cloud storage, so they will cut corners wherever they can.

Get ready for Google to ignore your feedback.

Anyway, try Degoo instead.
You can use the site or the app.
The app provides automatic uploads similar to what you have been doing.

Plus, you get 100GB of storage for free.

thanks for the update!! (even though its 3yrs later LOL, but happy the mods didn't close it on a necro post*

Thanks again!!

ADB AND FASTBOOT NOT WORKING BUT EDL IS WORKING

i've been used 2 usb cable, one of them is fine before but now my device not recognized in pc. my phone is Lenovo Z5s, with custom rom (corvus 13) unlocked bootloader
again.......how is it not recognized? when you type "adb device" or "fastboot device", what is the response? and are you sure you are using the correct path for the commands? you need to open the command window where your adb and fastboot files are kept in.

Help FOSSIL GEN 5 shows wrong time and date

Have you restarted the watch?

for some reason, the "Automatic date & time" under settings\System\Date & time, was off...don't know how it changed, I definitely haven't changed it
Thanks for the help

Help Whatsapp original filename

Free phone with Verizon?

https://www.verizon.com/smartphones/?sort=price-low-to-high
So looking at Verizon's site there are some really good phones offered at zero cost, but it's really important to note that's a zero cost up front but you're still going to be paying for that 'free' phone, the cost being spread out over the monthly payments you have to make over whatever contract period. Verizon isn't going to be giving any phones away as some kind of social service, it's going to be making a lot of money on your account with them with that 'free' phone. It's a clever (a.k.a 'devious') way to pull in customers, a spin on the classic bait-n-switch tactic retail stores use.
It might be worth your time to pick one of the more viable options for your son, and look into how much you'd pay for that same model if you bought it as is somewhere else (i.e. Amazon). This is the hard part in that you need to guestimate the total cost of that phone over the time period of your entire contract with Verizon -- the messy part being the phone cost minus the cost of the cellular services used. Try looking into the 'bring your own phone' account cost as a comparison, again guestimating the price you'd pay for the phone plus the cost of the account usage. Lots of variables involved but the cellular companies add a lot of markup to those 'free' phones.
Also, keep in mind that carrier-locked phones are a) locked to that specific carrier so, just as an example, you find the Verizon coverage sucks you'll be paying big bucks as a 'early termination' fee to switch to a different, better carrier and b) typically loaded with a lot of carrier-specific bloatware. A carrier-unlocked phone allows you a lot more freedom (just be aware not only is carrier bloatware an issue but there's also manufacturer bloatware).

Anyway, there a number of good budget-class Android phones available these days. The news media and a lot of people fixate on just pricey flagship models but there's also reality and what the majority of consumers actually use:

Approximately how old is your son and what do you think are his expectations in a phone? Also, what about his friends and such? Peer pressure and phone status has become such an issue now.

Help Problem transfering folders to my tablet

You can always copy the folders to your SD card inserted into the computer, keeping the file structure intact, then putting the card into your phone

The file structure is not the issue. When I checked the files on the tablet from the computer they were perfect. Its the tablet that shows them differently as they are storaged inside. But it's only with the predetermined "Documents" folder, so probably your solution would work too.

SMS sender ID does not identify inbound SMS numbers with (9)

I live in Argentina.
Whenever I receive a phone call from +54 11 xxxx-xxxx and I have that number associated with Roger in my contacts, Roger is identified. But if I don't pick up for whatever reason, I get an SMS reporting the missed call. The number which originates the SMS is reported as +54 9 11 xxxx-xxxx, and Roger is not identified. If I add +54 9 11 xxxx-xxxx as a number for Roger, the SMS ID is correctly updated, which confirms the SMS app has access to my contacts. I shouldn't need replicating the number for all my contacts.

Currently using Android 11, Samsung S10e.
This was working fine in my previous Android 8, Samsung J7 prime, prior to my Smart Switch.
See details below.

How can I fix this?

After trying a solution in Android Enthusiasts I realized the problem was the extra 9.
I didn't try syncing numbers stored in the phone with my Google account as in another solution in Android Enthusiasts (and I am not sure my problem is the same as that other). SMS ID should not rely on Google, and I didn't need that with Android 8. I guess the OS (or the app?) should take care of that.

======================================================================

More details - How this was working before the phone switch
I was using a Samsung J7 prime with Android 8, with the same sim card and mobile provider as I use now. I am right now checking in my old phone a message that I received, with number +54 9 11 xxxx-xxxx, and SMS ID is correct. The same message, in my new phone (transferred via Smart Switch) is not SMS-IDentified.

More details - How are phone numbers built
Phone numbers are built as +(Country) (Area) (Number) as usual, with a possible extra 9 after the country code, or a possible extra 15 after the area code.
The historical reasons for those extra numbers, and when were they mandatory (calling from abroad/within Argentina, phone call/SMS, calling from mobile/landline, calling to mobile/landline, etc.) are a separate issue. These rules kept confusing people, in particular foreigners. Nowadays networks are smart enough, the rules are mostly (I wouldn't dare saying 100%) not needed. You could also use +(Country) (Area) (No.) from within Argeninta; before, that was not allowed, 0(Area) (No.) was needed from within Argentina. I am not certain, but I think even (Area) (No.) works. This is similar to what happens in other countries.

So if I call using +54 9 11 xxxx-xxxx, it will likely work well, the same as if I use +54 11 xxxx-xxxx or 011 xxxx-xxxx.

54: Argentina
9: Prefix for mobile numbers
11: Buenos Aires
xxxx-xxxx: phone number

Then there is the issue of Caller / SMS ID for inbound calls and messages.
