    Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

    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.?

    Make phone ring right

    That's it, the part about how it's hard to grab and pull the red or green. Why don't they just make it tappable? Even he could probably handle that.

    Make phone ring right

    My friend with the Samsung A15 keeps missing calls. His old phone, a Moto G 5 g, I guess worked better that way. This thing displays 2 circles, 1 red and 1 green. I've seen how hard it is to answer it. Also, he gets spam calls. How do we make the new phone more old phone?

    Screenshots only black

    No, they're just plain screenshots. I don't know why they aren't showing right. I'm using fossify file manager. I had another very similar one but it went commercial.

    Screenshots only black

    I went to look at a screenshot I'd taken earlier, but there was nothing. I checked out others and the same problem. The phone rebooted itself again this morning. Could these somehow be connected?

    Noncharging Charger

    How do I know? There was no wall wart included. I guess the manufacturer assumes that the purchaser has that readily available.

    Noncharging Charger

    I guess you mean different wall wart. I probably should. I know the outlet is live because it works fine with the vacuum cleaner.

    Noncharging Charger

    A great Christmas gift would be a Charger rc car. This one's a black beauty, Dom's ride from Fast and Furious. The only problem is it seems not to be charging. There is a usb cord that folds up in a compartment on the underside of the car. Just add a wall wart. Originally it worked fine...

    Disappearing downloads

    Yeah, I've been noticing that theme. Every Moto I've had for at least 3 years has had some kind of fastboot problem. I wish I could afford a good phone from a decent manufacturer, maybe with a "real" camera...

    Disappearing downloads

    If we did have any that "just worked", I probably wouldn't be troubling you all nearly as much. There is that Samsung A15 but I think overall it's an inferior device. Still, its mere functionality shows its superiority, I suppose. Meanwhile, this rotten Moto 5 G has rebooted 4 times just this...

    Disappearing downloads

    My sympathies, but how do I connect the two? My aim is to copy as much as I can to the drive before this thing goes belly up, which seems almost inevitable. I just hope I can do this soon...

    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.

    Bathroom questions

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