    Hidden (I hope) night mode for Moto G Play camera

    On my Moto G Stylus, there's no special hardware. The Night Vision Mode holds the "shutter" open longer. Maybe the aperture gets wider, too. There has to be at least a little light and you have to hold the camera very steady for quite a while for a photo in very low light. It does take good...

    Hidden (I hope) night mode for Moto G Play camera

    I have a similar Moto (Moto G Stylus 2021) and have found that the advertising and the feature list paperwork are sometimes rather "creative" and careless with the features it claims for the camera. Example: Lenovo's Advertising for Moto G Stylus' first model bragged to no end about the...

    Files App Has Mystery Documents

    Thanks Again all. Another mystery zip file showed up today. I doubt it's from anything I downloaded because I don't have a data plan and don't surf the web. Perhaps one of my applications retrieves these things on its own. I tried deleting them and the world didn't end, so I'll keep on...

    Files App Has Mystery Documents

    Thank You both for taking time to reply. Musicolet is an app on my phone, but since clicking the file with Musicolet Backup doesn't do anything, I'll delete it and watch to see if it re-appears. If it does, I'll explore more. I'll go ahead and delete the other files. It will be interesting to...

    Files App Has Mystery Documents

    Hello All! My Moto G Stylus using Android 11 has some files in the Files app that I don't recognize. They are under "Downloads" and in "Documents & Other". In Downloads, there is a zip file called 2023-07-14 02-53-13.zip. I did not click on it because I don't know where the enclosed files will...

    How to View "SENT" Box Google Messages

    Thank You Hadron for a very good explanation of how texting works. It is certainly complicated. I get confused between MMS, RCS, SMS and now my phone wants to send something called "RCS Chat". From what I can find out, RCS is quite an improvement in security over SMS. In the last paragraph...

    How to View "SENT" Box Google Messages

    Thanks Again everyone for helping & explaining. Interestingly, AT&T person said no one can use my number to send texts from not my phone & have it on my history of calls/texts. It is common for someone to "spoof" a number and send or call showing the spoofed number, but that call or text won't...

    Don't Put Texts Together (Conversation?)

    I apologize for not thanking you all sooner. I was locked out of my account. Thanks to all for explaining that what I wish is not possible with the standard Messaging application. Such is life, I suppose. Paul

    Don't Put Texts Together (Conversation?)

    I am exploring Google Message app and am trying to figure out how to make texts separate. Searching on line revealed no answer, but I may be searching wrong. I apologize, but don't know the proper term for it, so I'll describe it. (Best guess = Conversation?) When there is an existing text...

    How to View "SENT" Box Google Messages

    Thank You all for taking time to reply. I'll study each app's permissions to see which one is sending the texts. I still wonder why they don't appear in the Messages box. I just tried sending a text to someone. No entry is in my Messages box. I also replied to a text and that is in the inbox...

    How to View "SENT" Box Google Messages

    Hello All! I apologize if this is in the wrong place on the forum. According to my History, my phone sends texts by itself, costing me 20 cents US each time. (Short Code 1CODE94183574 is one example.) I'd like to check the SENT folder on the phone so I can forward it to AT&T for investigation...

    No Notifications For Updates - How To Get Notifications?

    Hello All! On my Moto G Stylus, using Android 11, I used to get notifications for app updates. They stopped arriving. Me being me, I forget to check & there are many, many updates waiting when I finally remember. Is there a way to turn on notifications when an app update is available? I could...

    Confusion About Apps To SD Card

    Hello Everyone! I apologize for yet another Apps To SD Card question, but after reading all I could find here, I'm confused about the proper formatting for the SD card to allow some apps to go to the SD card. I have a Moto G Stylus using Android 10. When I check Settings > Storage, it shows...

    Wish To Send Photos To SD Card Pictures Folder But I'm Lost!

    Hi All! I apologize if this is somewhere on the forum, but the Search results page comes up blank. On the web, I've found nothing. What I am trying to accomplish is to get the photos taken with the Moto G Stylus using Android 10 to go to the SD card's "Pictures" folder. Currently the best I...
