    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    Are they easy to find? How much do they cost? How do they figure into this whole thing?

    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    I think that might be a little rust near the blue on that black cord. I hope it doesn't affect anything. Can I use a crimebook to format the drive to FAT32? Are there explicit instructions for that? I guess the only way I can use the Toshiba is to have it plugged into the phone. How will I...

    Fix busted membrane keypad

    Somebody else got it working. That doesn't guarantee it'll keep working. At least it's something.

    Fix busted membrane keypad

    Ha ha, you've got a great sense of humor. It's probably about 10 years old. How much does silver conductive paint cost? Do hardware stores have it?

    Fix busted membrane keypad

    This GE oven actually has one of those nasty yhings. It's been mercurial at best, and now bake, broil, and start don't work. I wish I could replace the crappy thing but of course that would be impossible.

    I'm sorry. I hadn't realized I was being such a tease. I hereby withdraw my status as coquette by posting pix of the vaunted thing.

    They have text and pictures. I want to be able to enlarge them and use an ereader because then I can store them as "ebooks" in the same group of files. Why is it that whenever I try to make things simpler they become more complicated?

    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    Does a crimebook qualify (barely) as a pc? I guess I should get a cheap powered hub just in case. Would that include the otg cable? Dannydet, you are correct that I know little about this topic. That is why I turn to my friends of many years, Android sages all, to learn things which I likely...

    Convert png to pdf or epub

    I want to be able to use an ereader with these files and not have to resort to some kind of image viewer. I have more than enough apps already and am slimming down what I've got, maybe deleting some. Speaking of this, what are the following: max, white on blue with a dot in the a, and Merge...

    Does this also work with jpg? I got stuck with a zip file but I figured it would be no big deal because the file manager could handle it. I was about half right. After some struggle I got it more or less done but it's still a pain, with not enough magnification available. I don't know why...

    Does an Android automatically have that capability? I wouldn't mind pdf. Why ISN'T this fabulous Calibre available for Android? I know there's Calibre companion, but why not the real deal?

    I guess it's possible, but how? Would the original be destroyed in the process? Is it expensive?

    I sure don't have that. How do I get ir? How much does it cost? Is it obvious how to use it?

    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    Do I need an otg cable? Is that expensive? How do I find out if the Moto G has otg? Is there a problem with formatting the drive? Am I wrong to assume that a phone about a year old has a type c connector?

    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    I have a Toshiba 2 gb portable hard drive and a Moto G 5 g running Android 14. How do I connect them to each other without having to use a computer or other such device? Do I need an extra cable, my head examined, etc.?
