    Disappearing downloads

    I can't imagine deliberately fastbooting a phone. It's a plague to be avoided, in my opinion. Oops, it did it again, less than one hour ago, and certainly without my permission. This time I guess there was no damage. I have a Toshiba portable hard drive, 2 tb, not yet used. How do I hook it...

    Disappearing downloads

    My friend's Moto G 5 g went into fastboot yesterday morning. It snapped right out of it, but when it did most of the downloads were missing. Thank goodness things were backed up to sd, but how could this happen and how do we prevent it? How would we restore lost files if not from sd?

    Emergency update prevention

    I plugged it into the crimebook but it didn't register. It still says list of devices attached. WHY is it not showing the Moto G 5 g? It hasn't recognized any phone and there have been 3. I found something about pairing with code and using cli for that, but of course it didn't work either...

    Emergency update prevention

    I keep getting this nasty message. I guess I can't even disable that. How do I get it manufacturer unlocked?

    Emergency update prevention

    Supposedly this Moto 5 G is going to update automatically in the early morning. I've already shut off automatic in dev ops, switched to cellular (none) before wifi, and am looking for other ways. When I looked at software update under settings I saw no options that it's supposed to have other...

    Saving Photos over wifi

    Since it hadn't been done it's quite a few. Also, he wants to be able to back up screenshots. It took a while for me to find where to choose backup but there's only documenrs. I made sure that was on at least. How do we tell it to back up screenshots and generally have a wider choice of...

    Saving Photos over wifi

    It keeps saying that it's getting ready to back up, but when is it going to do that? We're tired of waiting. It is a lot of items, but still...

    Saving Photos over wifi

    My friend's phone is a Moto G 5 g. He wants to do some things with it but barely knows the basics. How does he save photos to his googoo account via wifi? I would probably advise against this sort of thing, but...I tried to help and didn't get far. He is currently using wifi only and is...

    Bathroom questions

    Let's do Gofundme or maybe there could be a crew working on it, a sort of Amish bathroom raising. Meanwhile I went and got some caulk, which led me to realize that I have no caulk gun. It's that acrylic kind. The showerhead has yet to be replaced, but I guess it's ok to do without it for now...

    Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

    I guess that used to be a problem but I think these days the numbers actually do match. The real hassle is batteries. How many in a package is never how many the item takes.

    Bathroom questions

    Ha ha, that's great. I'll be awaiting your check after I give you the estimate. That'll make for a happy holiday.

    I wish. That would make cleaning a lot easier. Unfotunately, it's direct.

    Bathroom questions

    Fyi, the old one is silver or chrome and the new one is white. Tha last one is where it goes. They're not such great pictures but maybe you can tell.

    Bathroom questions

    Thanks for all the replies and yoy're right about the screw on/off thing. However, when I took off the old one and tried putting on the new, it didn't fit. How do I take care of this?

    Bathroom questions

    Yeah, try actually using the darn thing. The boards I guess are rotting wood, but as far as I'm aware no mold. There was a leak quite a while back over the weekend and didn't get fixed until the following Monday. That probably explains a lot of it...

    Bathroom questions

    There are some cracks in the wall where things join. How do we fix them? Also, how do we install a new showerhead? The old one is blasting all over the place.

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    On a whim I plugged the Moto G Play into the crimebook...crickets. It didn't light up at all. When I tried adb devices it said the same thing about a device list, useless. Then I swapped in the Stylus. At least it showed the same crap as previously, battery ok charging. HOW do I fix this...

    Bedbugged

    My friend got plagued with 'em. I got a can of spray online and it worked great. Then they came back and the second spraying almost seemed to make it worse. Is there some kind of homemade remedy?

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    Seriously, though, I just took that sd card out of the Stylus and stuck it in the Moto G 5 g. I'm glad I did. For now I'm just copying files instead of moving them. I still want to fix the Stylus, though. I just took another stab (luckless, of course) at it before I did the surgery. Why...

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    Why do they always have the same problems? I get really tired of this. How do I get the crimebook to recognize that lousy Stylus? Can I at least remove the sd card and reuse it?

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    Now the thing I've been posting from is pulling shenanigans. This Moto G 5 g seems stable at the moment, but today it rebooted itself multiple times. What is going on with this junk? Is it a Motorola problem? Is this Lenovo to blame?

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    It finally stopped blinking. I don't know if that's good or not. It's still plugged into the crimebook.

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    I figured I didn't really have a choice. Therefore I plugged the Stylus back into the crimebook. It said the battery was low but then changed to ok(charging). The screen is still flashing.

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    The screen is. The last I checked the battery was ok but that could definitely change. How do I make it stop?

    Moto G Stylus still not showing on crimebook

    Is there at least a way to make the Stylus quit flashing on and off as it's been doing all night? That can't be good for it and I'm sure it's wearing down the battery. Why does it do that? Should I plug it into the crimebook, directly into a wall outlet, or not at all?
