I don't know what's going on at Lucasfilm, but could they be working on the ONE version of Star Wars that we really want???

I have had many Android phones, including several Samsungs, and have always been able to copy files from my Windows PC.

However, just got an S24 and I am struggling!

I connect it to the PC with a USB cable and nothing happens. Normally, the PC would recognise it and offer some options.

I can go into the phone settings and under "USB Settings" I can see "USB Controlled by" with 2 options "Connected device" and "This device".

There are also options under "Use USB for" and one of these is "Transferring Files / Android Auto", but all the options are greyed out and cannot be selected.

I am guess I need to do something else - can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks

*UPDATE* Sorted - it was the cable!!!!!

Usually it is sometimes the cable, easy plug it in and chose the selection, the only way I ever do a remote cloud is on my pc!

You got that straight. I guess it doesn't matter now. The Texans won 23 - 19 I think. It was amazing even with their home field advantage, but then they did sack Josh Allen 8 (!) times. For what it's worth, I did find a website that shows the score in real time and mentions upcoming games. It's called The Sporting News. At least that makes sense.

It's old, all right. It's the se with the big round actual button at the bottom. It does use a lightning cable which cost 8 and tax. I would be looking to send files from it to the Moto G Stylus, not vice versa. Will picture quality suffer because of being sent to/displayed by an Android?

I wouldn’t think picture quality would suffer but it might. There should be a wireless transfer app or option though.

My doctor said that I should feel a lot better that I'd lost all of my weight. I just told him that the damage had been done.

Couple months ago, the Boss Lady had ordered some dog food, cat food and cat litter. Here I am pulling our 7cf yard wagon across the yard when it dawned on me that I was pulling (with some degree of difficulty) something near to the total weight that I've lost.

I’m a fan of Android but…. My Apple devices run flawlessly.

why not use google find my phone?

its not a program but something you can do on a browser.

i too utilize t-mobile, but i 'bring my own device'

i have good luck at wal-mart by getting manufacturer unlocked devices that are a couple model years old at a good discount

i havent paid more than $120 and can live with what is available

a good time to ask if they have 'last years model' is when new crap comes out, they usually have leftovers that are then sold (but not advertised) at a discount

so far that is how i got my last 2 devices

I used to be so awesome of making pizza crust, but last time I did it was not such a solid way.. Something must of ticked me off duration of that day.

vivo have begun rolling out an update for their X Fold3 Pro Global devices that not only upgrades them to Android 16 but also switches them from the global FunTouchOS to the Chinese OriginOS 6. So for those of you that wished for the arguably, superior OriginOS, then Christmas has come early!

From last. night (Not as good as last year. All I could see was a white-ish haze, but my iPhone picked up the colors on 3s Night Mode):

Nut smokin time again. I have 80oz of cashews cold smoking today. Though the last bunch was tasty, they were mild mannered Kent. I went back to the full strength recipe. I'm the one who eats most of them so why not make them hot and spicy like I want. It's not like they are flaming hot. They get your attention and keeps me from eating them in excess. I just started them smoking. I'll go riding for a while and come back and give them a stir. Cold smoking is low maintenance for the cook.

Ah maybe blue tooth settings?

The network setting page is now restored yay..

I will not show you my home network either

Probably for sentimental value, I have the same memory card I had since my first cell, my second sims, Verizon swamped out everything and gave me a new one about ten years ago at my vacation hideaway. I say just keep anything,

Thanks, the App (MyPhonak) has no such controls, at least in conjunction with this Phonak model. There are settings for my hearing, such as "restaurant" and "television".
