Can No Longer Send Photos From My Phone To My Desktop ??

[billt460]

I'm running an older Motorola Moto G phone. Ever since I bought it I've had no trouble sending pictures I took with it to my desktop E-Mail address. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. Bluetooth, along with everything else is turned on, just as before. Anyone got any ideas on what to check to get this thing back on track?

So youre having trouble emailing photos off your phone, or some other transfer mechanism?

Just the phone by E-Mail. Suddenly and recently. Never had an issue with it before. I've tried turning it off then rebooting it. Still no can do. I can transfer them with no problem if I hard wire my phone to my desktop with a USB cable. But not wireless by E-Mail.

What e-mail app are you using. Some older versions of Android the e-mail app is no longer supported by the provider because it doesn't handle security certificates. I had this problem on an older Android phone before I upgraded and I worked around it using the BlueMail app.

I'm not sure. I never added an app for E-Mail. Whatever the phone came with is what I used... And am still using. Unless something got removed. I can still send a message, but not a picture.

Does the app you are using now look like an "@" symbol, sort of a yellowish icon?

Set up Dropbox on your phone (if you can) and your computer. I transfer files between my phone and my computers that way all the time.

It's Android, you can have the photos be synced with Google Photos

Perhaps your phone is set to only synchronize photos when connected to a WiFi network and your not connected to WiFi.

No because I can't send them from inside my house when it's just 10 feet from the router. My Wi-Fi signal is full flag.

I found it. Something was turned off in my, "Message Settings". (The little green square with the comma at the bottom). It was one of those small, sliding switches. As soon as I turned it back on everything was fine. I have no idea how it got switched off in the first place.
