Have you? Maybe google will have figured something out. Or, maybe not.

 have.

Not heard that. You don't get any later than Android 11 and that is what is on my phone.

not really, android tablet, android console, android watch, just to go 3 off the top of my head.

Iphone phone is the one that irks me almost as much as atm machine.

Ok over a range of forums including google phone forums no one seems to have an answer for this. The alarm is still going off every 3 hours - even with just about everything uninstalled or disabled.

So I need to do a factory reset and need to pull data such as photos, contacts, messages etc off the phone before I do this as everything will be wiped.

I will do a backup which apparently goes to this Cloud thingy but I am concerned that when I reinstal the backup from the Cloud the problem I currently have will just go back on. I want to reload only the minimum essentials and download and reinstal afresh other apps.

So in addition to the Cloud backup I want to download important information to my laptop some of which I will but back on the phone later. However while the laptop file explorer sees the phone, the phone will not allow access to its folders and files.

How do I transfer files form the phone to my laptop - bluetooth can do it but only one file at a time - too slow.

Thanks

Garry

Syncios Mobile Manager, the free version will probably do all you want to do. There are other free ones also. They may be better or not, I haven't used them but I can confirm the free version Syncios does what is says it does. At least with my phone.

I plug mine in via the USB port, just comes up as another storage device then transfer away...

Oh you have to tell your pc to see it as such.

Except you won't be transferring such thing as phone call logs, contact lists, SMS or MMS records etc. that way.

Good point, might plug my phone in and see what I get, although I suspect you might be correct..
