Thank you.

Yep, we have "Files" - not "File Manager". So ... I open "Files", then open the USB option as you said above, but the only pictures I can see are those in a folder on the USB stick. If instead I go to "Files", then tap "images", then "select all" , the only options I get are deselect all...

Nope. App search on "File Manager" says no apps found ... Is there perhaps an app available which makes moving pictures between Android phones and USB sticks easy? Anyways, I have to disappear right now. Back in no more than 30 minutes.

Oh dear ... I don't seem to have "File Manager". When I search on the phone for it, I just get a choice of apps which are called variations on "File Manager". Do I need to instal one of those, or am I missing something here?

Finally back to this after life got in the way, to report that I got one of the Samsung adaptors recommended above and it seems to work just fine. The problem now is I just can't crack the actual transfer of pictures from phone to USB stick. Nothing I've found so far online seems to apply, and...

Will do. Thank you sir.

Good idea. I'll get one and report back early next week. Thank you for your help.

Yep. But all I get is "STORE N GO" with "Checking ..." underneath that. There's no change however long I wait for something to happen. CORRECTION - it now says "Corrupted", although the same USB stick with the same OTG cable reads just fine on a Chromebook.

Thank you. It's a cheapo cable off Ebay but I've checked it's good by plugging it into my wife's Chromebook.

USB OTG Checker app shows my Motorola G7 Power is compatible with OTG but when I connect an OTG cable which is known to be good and a USB stick, phone does not want to know. Any ideas please folks?

No, because you only asked "Do you see storage and cache?". Anyhow, for no apparent reason my phone has decided to revert to normal behaviour! I swear I haven't changed a single setting since Thursday, but whereas this time 24 hours ago it was behaving exactly as in my OP, incoming emails now...

Thank you for your patience with me. OK ... following your instructions above, all seems to be in order, but I don't understand how changing the notification sound would help as I long ago changed it from the default to one called Vega, and that works just fine for incoming text messages. Is...

Oh boy, you're going to love this ... I'm afraid I don't know how to do that: I'm 73 years old, not really a techie person (though I do try) and I've only just mastered using a smartphone. What I can do though is tell you that when I tap notifications there, "show notifications" at the top...

Hi there Yes I do, just as shown above.

Hello again and thank you. OK ... I tried as above but the nearest I could do on this phone was long press > tap info > force stop. The only other options after "info" were open and disable. Whatever, no change. Still no notification of incoming email to primary account (i.e. the page the...
