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

    Yes, it's the 2021 model. I have looked all over for it. I have read the manual, used the camera's own help, etc. Where could night mode be?

    Analog audio attachment detected

    That's what it says on the Pure's pulldown screen. There is nothing attached to it except sometimes a charger and that hasn't worked out well. Are these two problems somehow related? How do I charge this awful thing?

    NFL Red Zone dud

    My friend subscribed to this recently. It has no sound despite my checking audio and rebooting. Now he wants to screen cast to his Panasonic plasma tv. It's a TH-42PZ85U. I have no idea how old it is. When I tried screencast it showed a bunch of tvs to send to, but I'm pretty sure his is...

    A new era in reading

    I found an app called ReadEra. It seems to do a decent job of dealing with a variety of formats and isn't huge. Can I move my Nook ebooks there? Can I also get that one I shouldn't have got from googoo drive?

    Goodbye googoo blather

    I recently dumped googoo's crappy disservices and of course they keep sending "messages" in a vain attempt to get me to take them back. That ain't hapoening, but what can I do to get rid of their annoying garbage? Do I need a firewall or sonething else?

    Bluetooth disconnecting

    This morning I was finally able to transfer two files between the Moto Gs Play (sending)/and Pure (receiving). One of them was fairly big. When I tried to send a third file, the Bluetooth option was gone. I made sure it was actually on and went to connections. The Pure showed as an option...

    Mail.com problems

    I was trying to help my friend set up an account with nail.com. He got his address and password fine, and he does get some mail, but not most. They apparently will not respond to requests for help and I guess there's no faq. He's been trying to set up accounts which he cannot do because of...

    "New" error

    I was using a website I usually do with duckduckgo and found that the content wasn't loading. I tried the usual suspects: refresh, shut down entirely, etc. with no luck. This morning I at least received an error message about my being forbidden to use a dateloader or something that way. I...

    Camera colors on different phones and where are my threads

    I just took a picture with the Pure and noticed that the colors were way off, and when I used my friend's OnePlus Nord it was more accurate, though still not perfect. Is there a way to adjust the Pure to do a better job? Also, the site just got an attitude adjustment that has definitely made...

    Hell for two

    Recently I attempted to share a file from the old Moto G Play (2021) to the new Moto G Pure. I figured I would use Bluetooth but I guess I figured wrong. Simple File Manager did not show such an option. Instead I went with Nearby Share, which apparently uses Bluetooth. They seem to recognize...

    Screenshotty

    That Blu government phone doesn't do screenshots right any more. I know the standard way is volume down + power, but it isn't working. I got a screenshot app which can be a little tricky and shuts off if storage is running low. Why do screenshots evidently take up less room than regular photos?

    Not really new but not charging

    This time it"s the Moto G Plus. It had been doing fine but when I plugged it up, it didn't. I've tried the usual, checking the connections and using different cords. I shut it off for now.

    Software downdate please

    I found that the Motorola G Play (2021) has 2;versions of software update, and 1 claims to have more than 1 gb of supposedly unremovable user data. At least the clear storage option is gray. Hiw do I remove the data? How do I uninstall or downgrade this thing? The 3 vertical miracle dots are...

    Disable download manager

    I read on here, I believe, about that to stop bloatware. If it is disabled, what manages downloads instead? I assume it's a system app.

    No Root Firewall emergency

    I can't find it. I was checking whether it was on the sd card with Simple File Manager and it didn't show it, SD or internal either. I can't search googoo files. When I look in apps it's there, but I can't put it on sd from there. I have to put it on SD to transfer it to the Moto G Pure I...

    Not more goo

    I had hardly noticed docs, sheets, and slides on the Moto G Plus. When I investigated, I found out that not only are they part of the horrifying googooplex but they actually contain mb of data. I certainly did not put anything there as far as I know. What could this dark matter be?

    Battle to the death

    Ok, that's probably a little misleading. My friend's metro pcs OnePlus Nord seems to be a pretty good phone, especially with 64 gb built in, but I can't find out if that would have sd capability. A Moto G Pure, though only 32 gb, I think is expandable up to 512. Is this right? Also, if I got...

    Yippeeiokiyay

    I guess that's the right spelling. Anyway, I at long last am the proud possessor of a brand spankin' new (I hope) computer, a Lenovo from Walmart. Compared to the crimebook, I guess it's pretty tricked out, specs and all. I have fortunately been able to connect the cheapish plastic wireless...

    Bad night in the kitchen

    Last night my friend was cooking something on the stove and forgot. He went out and did some other things. When we came back the smell was unbelievable. I said he should leave it in the pot until morning, but he wanted to hurry. The handle came off the lid and the stench stuck around despite...

    Who's got the otg?

    Which, if any, of the following has otg: Samsung Zfold 3, Samsung A02s, Moto G Play (2021), Blu B140DL? That last is the government version, no sd card. I would like to.get powered otg cable(s) and be able to connect directly to that Toshiba 2 tb portable hard drive, but it makes no sense to...

    Direct connect

    Would it be possible to connect an Android phone directly to a computer hard drive without the computer? I still have that Toshiba 2 gb (and the crimebook, unfortunately). Some day I might have to wrestle with it again, but for now I just want to copy items, especially pictures.

    Blu contact blues

    My friend got a Blu government phone from somebody who was sick of it. Yeah, it's a real cheapie. Now the guy who had it wants the contacts from it. That sounds simple enough but it's been a headache. We couldn't find a way to export them as a file, only import. Apparently it's not possible...

    Moto G Play breaking open on left side

    I'm not kidding. This really is a day for firsts. I can't use it to take a picture of it, but it's coming open at the lower left. I do want a phone I can open...some other way. I'm almost afraid to charge it. Other than that, it seems to be working normally.
