Cannot connect, and other woes .

Just let the phone back them up.

You can then view/ download on any device that you’re signed in to your Google account. Set the new phone to do the same (over WiFi only is the way mine are set).

Kies is a piece of crap.

+1 for Google photos.

+3 Google photos.

Though of Google photos doesn’t work on gingerbread, (it’s a possibility.), install es file manager, then conect it to your PC via WiFi, and transfer them that way.

This is what I would do if I used my phone to download movies that are on the cinima. But obviously I don’t ?

I know it did Dave, but if it still does, I doubt it. Air Droid was great, but I reckon it would of dropped GB support long ago.

However of goole photos os doesn’t work on GB, I’d recommend trying air Droid before ES file manager (free), as air Droid was as simple as installing on phone then on pc and drag and drop, where as there is a little bit more set up work to get ES network up and running.

Ive just thought ES (and other file managers) will link straight to googl and drive/drobox/sky drive etc. So forget linking it to your network, install and ES, and from within ES sign St Wight into your Google drive account. (use the same one as you use for android) then synthetic your photos to your Google account drive.

Then in sure from Google drive from a PC browser, you can stend them pics direct to your Google photo library.

On your new phone install Google photos, and your old pictures will be there. I have actually arnt on the new phone, but Google photos  works so well you’d never know. You can also download the pics to the phone, for the times your round your mother’s/nans/ants with no wifi of 4g coverage.

Anyway, as you probably worked out, there is probably 1000 different ways to skin this cat. But however you do it, make sure you adopt Google photos from here on out. It’s just brilliant. And has unlimited photo storage, as long as the photos are under 16mp, and unlimited 1080p video uploads. (4k if drop £700 on a pixel).

Edit- OT when you install Google photo on the new phone, go into the settings (in the app, not main Android settings) and set it to only upload your photos on wifi, save your bandwidth. I also set it to only wifi & only when charging. So my photos back up when I plug in at bedtime.

OT:

Where will you get the hot dogs? I won’t need matches btw, I know how to make a bow drill and a long hardwood stick drilled into a piece of softwood, surrounded by wood shavings, soon makes a fire. Dry wood of course! This is the posh way: –

There will always be plenty of rabbits, here’s one on my back garden:

Gutted, roasted on a stick over the fire, Yum! Not mention baby sparrows, not much meat but crunchy:

I put the sparrow back in the bird box, its parents were nagging me. Rabbit is a wild one, it eats dandelions and weeds so i leave it alone. My back garden is a bloody zoo!

  The Sun Dial is 10 minutes slow though….  

That’s probably because you nicked it from someone down South – above the Watford Gap is a different Time Zone!!
