I'll try it later.. not as easy as drag and drop but you can't have everything.
Yes, you can. Use Linux. :) Not only does its built-in commands for moving or copying files allow you to retain the original date, so do its graphical file managers. Nothing to search for, nothing to download from some random place, just built-in tools.

Resizing pictures for posting

@lvt I get what your saying but why use up your phone memory be to install an app when you can use a websites storage?
Please don't bring up Photobucket. I got burned like everybody else. :( The pics are still on my PC or phones though so that was just annoying. :p

Most of forums have their own photos storage and a convenient tool to upload the photos, and it's better that way (Photobucket fiasco comes through my mind too).

An app may be useful when the forums limit the photo sizes (being a web developer myself it makes sense to me).

Besides resizing the photos, the app I mentioned above also can crop the pictures which makes it a nice package.

Gifs come as static photos

When I bought my S9, I was able to download a gif picture from internet and all was ok, i was able to view them as gifs. But now when i download a gif, 90% of the time i can only see it a static photo not moving in my phone . Why? and how can i resolve this problem?

Recently i transferred lot of files to my computer from my phone, may be that is why? but how come? I can not think of any other reason.

Ussd codesnot running.

Each time i input a ussd code, it shows me ussd code running,but later says try again. Please in urgent need of help

Sounds like you're sending the wrong code, and your carrier isn't recognising it. USSDs(Unstructured Supplementary Service Codes) are carrier specific. Sometimes used for things like checking your account airtime credit balance, e.g. USSD "*101#" is for account balance enquiry with China Unicom. Check with your carrier for what codes they use.

advantage or disadvantage of moving to VZ

I bought my unlocked Pixel4 from BestBuy with a $100 e-gift card. Now i'm asking which way should I activate it on VZ
VZ store, VZ authorized store or online chat?
I though I will get $200 prepaid CC from VZ for switch, but apparently it's if u buy the phone from them, now I get only $150 and it will take 45 days to get it.
I didn't like the attitude of the guy at the VZ store, he was pushing me to make the switch even though he wasn't much knowledgeable of how the switch from FI to VZ work. The guy in authorized store was nicer and gave me bunch of tips regarding activation fee, but was on the way out, so I might go back tomorrow.

Help How can I Fix Water Damaged Phone?

That's not a fault of the rice. I would guess that any method to dry it out would have yielded the same result. The damage comes from the liquid.

@Adnan fiaz you didn't mention what type of phone you have, but if it's an older or budget model, I would use the uncooked rice method, but I would go further that what's been suggested. I would keep in in the bag of rice for 72 hours at least and change the rice after 24 hours and again after 48. Under NO circumstances try to power on or charge the phone until 72 hours has passed, or you could cause more damage.

If after all that the phone still won't power on, then you have to ask yourself how far you are willing to go to recover your data with the understanding that it might, in the end, not be possible.
sory i not mention what type of phone but i try
Firstly put your phone in the bag of rice grain. Rice grain will absorb all the moisture from your phone. But make sure you keep your phone there for hours or maybe a day. Then dry your phone using a hairdryer. If your phone still doesn't work then you have to contact the service center. They can replace the damaged hardware or else buy a new one!
