Hello

[jdroid8]

Hello all

There are so many variables involved with getting a cell phone to work: the cell phone provider service, the phone itself, a wi-fi connection, and/or (the existence of) cell-towers being just a few of them.

Because we (my wife and I) live in a place where towers do not exist (although cell phone services all insist we can get cell service from them), we seem to encounter problems that even the cell service providers (local stores and corporate stores, hours away from home) don't know how to deal with, or handle momentarily only for the problem to reassert itself when we return home.

I hope that I will be able to post problems that include the model name of the phone and the name of the cell phone provider service because it seems these players find each other the most convenient scapegoat if their problem persists. I look forward to whatever problem solutions you all can propose and thank you in advance for allowing me to post them.

Thank you. Just to ensure I use the forum correctly and efficiently…

1 ) In order to receive email notifications, I assume I need to check:

__________ [x] Automatically watch content you interact with…

________________ [x] and receive email notifications
Is this correct?

2 ) Is there a way to Quote (and ‘Multi Quote’) when posting replies?

Thanks

p.s. is there a way to insert spaces, indents, etc.

I'm using it on a Win11 PC/Browser Edge (at the moment). Should I be using it in an app and can I run the app from Windows?

I just tried to download it and it only allows me to mount the app on a phone. How do I download it for a Windows(11) computer?

I also tried to edit my profile with a .png (doesn't recognize .txt ) file and, as you can see,



that doesn't show up.

I'm sorry that app is for phone for PC let me check

 

[mustang7757]

For PC you can do it either way to make it like a short cut

 

[jdroid8]

I'm sorry. Every time I try to download the app file using your link it brings up Google Play Store. And Google Play Store asks me what device to download it for. I have never downloaded an app from Play Store that is designed to work on a Windows PC.

So I will just continue with this forum using Google Chrome browser.

Thank you for your help.

I am now trying to change my Profile so that it shows the name, etc. of the phone that is giving us problems.
But as you can see nothing is showing up here. How do I correct this?

I just restarted the computer and it didn't solve the problem.

I'm going see if @B. Diddy Can help with it on the PC

I've always found that the forum works best in the desktop browser, rather than any of the apps. But if you really want to use the app, it would have to be available via Play Games Beta for PC: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-run-android-apps-on-windows-11-3048569/

Can you help navigate the site on the chrome web browser?

 

[B. Diddy]

Oh -- if you're trying to have your phone show up in the profile, that list hasn't been updated in forever. I think you can just type it in manually in one of the fields.
