    Gmail Notifications, two all of a sudden

    All of a sudden I'm getting two notifications when I get an email and one of my Gmail accounts. One is the standard email showing the subject the other is more like a text message, how do I disable the one that looks like a text message? The top one in this example. I'm not even sure how or...

    All photos gone but one

    Between photos I've downloaded from texts and emails, it looks like I'm missing very few. As I mentioned any photos taken for work get put on the work computer pretty much right away, the same holds true for any photos taken of projects going on around the house that I'm documenting. So any...

    All photos gone but one

    Yes actually I have several but the one I login to for photos is the original one, the others are specific to projects and other specialty applications.

    All photos gone but one

    Yes the backup is toggled to on and it has backed up some recent photos. Generally the way I transfer photos especially at work since we have no access to add programs to our computers is through the USB cord at home I can try the Smart Switch.

    All photos gone but one

    Yes photos have been backing up since right around 2016. I'm sure 80% of them have been downloaded to my computer which backs up to the cloud but I'm sure there are quite a few gone for good. I'm sure Google is like Amazon or Ebay there's no way in the world to talk to anyone there and see if...

    All photos gone but one

    If I remember correctly I had an S24, still a work phone, it started acting up, by not ringing when a phone call would come in and then all of a sudden I would get a missed call notice. The IT people couldn't figure anything out so they got me a new one since I was due for an upgrade. That one...

    All photos gone but one

    Nope, sure don't. I use the phone, which is actually a work phone to take a lot of work photos. Once I have those downloaded on the work computer I have to go into Google, and delete them all to free up storage space. But I've never even heard of what you mention.

    All photos gone but one

    So this is interesting, I got home, had received a package from eBay and the label was barely still attached so I took a picture to send it to the seller just to inform them. Went to the computer to download the photo, and it was the only photo on my phone, a couple hundred are, where can you...

    Open Google tabs/ gone

    Okay to start with I'm about sick of this new phone, I'm just glad work pays for it because I'm about ready to throw it out in the middle of the highway. Having gotten that out of my system, I had got a message that I had Google Chrome tabs that hadn't been opened in a while, yeah I leave them...

    Rotate pictures?

    Well that was short-lived, but I'm back. Apparently on the s23fe you can't rotate pictures? Back in the old days of the s20 there was a little rotation symbol and you tap it and the photo would rotate 90° tap it again it would rotate another 90, etc etc. Apparently someone thought this was not...
