    Any workaround on sending pictures via text?

    I have reduced the camera resolution to 2.8 megapixels and still the standard text message app on my 3a will not send any pictures over 1Mb. Can't find a setting to allow me to increase the 1Mb limit to a higher number, so every picture I need to send I have to resize it via another app, save...

    Is there a way to assign a starting "index" for pictures taken with camera?

    Have an HTC 10 and recently upgraded to Oreo 8.0. I have too much junk pictures and videos so I moved them to a USB drive and cleaned up a lot of stuff. HTC 10 (or is this Android?) named the image file IMAGxxxx.JPG where xxxx starts with 0001, 0002 etc... Since I already have a lot of images...

    Cannot access downloaded images from "Photos"

    I am on an HTC 10 and was just forced to update to Oreo by accidentally hitting the annoying download/install button. Long story short I had to factory reset and configure my phone all over. Now I am unable to change my wallpaper on the device. I downloaded an image and I can see that image...

    well,it just get better and better LOL. I didn't want to install the system update, but it happened, accidentally. I was out and about, and was in a middle of texting someone, and for a split second while I typed, the system update screen popped up. Since I was in the middle of typing, it...

    How do I stop a system update while downloading?

    The Auto Update System option does not do what you suggested. What it does is it will prompt you to update instead of automatically update apps without asking. However, with a system update it prompts you every time you activate the screen, so the chance to accidentally trigger an update by...

    How do I stop a system update while downloading?

    Are you saying while it's downloading Oreo it's already updating it at the same time? What if it was unable to complete the download will it end up half corrupted? I was hoping that when it finishes downloading it will prompt me again for permission to update and I will have a chance to stop...

    I have an HTC 10. I have heard so many horror stories on significant battery drain issue after the Oreo update so I have not updated to Oreo yet.

    New HTC 10 help needed

    One other question is with the 10 it is using a rapid charger and a type C 3.1 cable. It won't let me use older USB chargers with an old microUSB to C adapter. The software says "connect a compatible charger". Are you all using the OEM charger exclusively? Or is there a way to use all the...

    New HTC 10 help needed

    I downloaded from a Firefox image search. I will try the same with Chrome or Opera and see if their image search & save result in the right place. I went through FF's settings to see if there is a user configurable location to download images to, but couldn't find it. Over all I think the...
