Problem Texting Pictures.

On the device every picture is texted as a link.

The default texting app is Mood. That texts pictures as a google links.

I lso tested the messages app and that sends pictures as samsung links.

What i want to do is turn off the links and have the pictures directly send to to others without being a link.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Any advise would be appreciated.

Recent problem being able to Wipe the Cache Partition

So, apparently since all the recent updates, when I tried to go to Safe Mode to Wipe the Cache Partition, it took me to Safe Mode, but did not show the usual blue screen. It showed the Home Screen and indicated Safe Mode in the lower left. The problem is, with this new Safe Mode screen, I do not know how to wipe the cache partition, then go to Reboot as I used to be able to do.

Has anyone noticed this, and the change I’ve outlined above? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Help How to free up internal memory on Galaxy J5

I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 with 16GB internal memory and 32GB SD card.
I moved as many apps as I could to the external memory.
However, mt internal memory is always used up to at least 15GB, and as soon as it reaches 15.5GB (which is every few days) it starts warning me of dangerously low space.
Even if I move all pics, videos, etc to external it still does not free up more than 0.5GB.
What do I need to do to get the maximum free space on internal memory?

Mirror My LG G7 Screen Onto My Fire HD 10?

I want to figure out if it is possible to save data/$ by streaming my Amazon Prime videos or any other video content I play on my LG G7 ThinQ onto the larger display of my Amazon Fire HD 10 (7th). I could of course use my G7 mobile hotspot for my tablet, which I do on occasion but I do not have unlimited mobile hotspot data, I do have unlimited data for my G7 which I really use. Thanks!

A little bragging!

Not personal bragging, but about my city: Arcadia USD has been named to the California Honor Roll for the second year in a row. :D

"For the second consecutive year, Arcadia Unified was named to the 2018 – 2019 Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll for its high achievement in student success. There are over 900 school districts in California, and Arcadia Unified is one of only 26 public school districts to receive this recognition.
<<snip>>
Each of Arcadia Unified’s six elementary schools, three middle schools, and high school were also individually named as ERP Honor Roll schools.
<<snip>>
In addition to this ERP Honor Roll recognition, Arcadia Unified achieved a rare feat of being named to the prestigious AP® District Honor Roll in consecutive years for 2017 and 2018. Likewise, Arcadia Unified was recently ranked by Niche.com as the District with the Best Teachers and the Best Place to Teach and landed in the top three best school districts in Los Angeles County. For more information about the Arcadia Unified School District, visit ausd.net, and for more information about the ERP Honor Roll, visit edresults.org."


I'm not sure about our current college matriculation statistics, but they typically run at ≈95% of our high school graduates.

I'm proud and just wanted to brag a little.

Help Adding Slimport/MHL (HDMI Output) to my Phone

I'm trying record/stream my phone's gameplay using an El Gato capture card. There wouldn't be an issue if my phone supported an HDMI output, but unfortunately it does not. I've looked into various mirroring applications that use USB and/or WiFi connectivity, but simply put, they all suck. I'm wondering if it's possible and practical to have someone take my phone apart and manually add this feature to my phone. If so, where could I get this done?

Thanks

Help All media files disappeared - Oneplus 5 - please help

Hi there.
I have a Oneplus 5 running Android 8.1.
Today I connected this to my Windows PC via usb cable to copy over my pictures. After I deleted a file which I believed to be called thumbdata. or similar from my pictures folder (on the phone in the android file structure) suddenly and instantly all kinds of media is missing of my phone.
The folder Pictures, Movies, Music, Downloads, DCIM and probably some other have completely disappeared. The folder Whatsapp is still there but all subfolders with Media, Backup, Databases are emtpy.
The phone storage basically only contains the folder android (all app including cache seem to be working, prime video downloads are still in there too)
and the folder WhatsApp with all subfolders there but empty.

Can you please help me to explain what happened there.
All input appreciated.

Kind regards
jim

Help File Transfer Mode - where is it?

My new Samsung S10 Plus (Android 9 - 2 days old) seems to be in an odd state. I work on a Mac and used the Android File Transfer app to access memory on my old Samsung S7 edge, but the Android File Transfer app seems unable to find the new phone at all. I assume that the usb setting is in the wrong state and I have been looking for the setting to change it to File Transfer Mode, but have been unable to find it anywhere in setup.

Typically on the S7 I would plug the phone into the Mac, tap on the resulting "charging" notice and that would open a dialog box for me allowing me to set the mode but I do not get the same "charging" notice on the S10 Plus and when I do press the notice that I get I do not get any way to set the transfer mode. How can I set the mode to File Transfer?

I have been thinking that I might need to reset the phone and start all over, but would prefer to not have to do that.

Looking for an app with specific function.

TLDR:
Looking for a 3rd party app that can block all incoming calls when another specific app is in focus. The 3rd party app needs to run in the background and not need to be 'enabled' before expecting it to perform.

DETAILED:
Have a complaint from our CEO that when people call his phone when he is dialed into the 'Zoom Meetings' apps, it minimizes the Zoom app and interrupts the meeting.

Zoom doesn't have the option to block this behavior.
Neither does the Android build on the his Phone (Galaxy S10+)
So I need a 3rd party app that can block incoming calls when a certain app is in focus. The CEO will not have the time or patience to enable such a feature every time it is needed. (Otherwise he could just enable 'call blocking' and disable it after the meeting.) It will need to function in the background and perform its task autonomously. There are so many apps to go through, and I haven't had luck finding one with such a feature yet. Any one know of such a thing?
