How to upload photos from cell phone

I've got a new cellphone, a Boost lgxpower, which I like, but I can't figure out how to upload images from google or elsewhere onto A2K. It seems like I've tried everything, but there must be a provision I've missed. With my old, less sophisticated phone there was no problem. Can anybody help me?

@coluber2001,
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/LGLS755_BMU_UG_EN_V1.1_161130%20(1).pdf
Page 77 of this manual tells how to transfer pics and files

Page 86 has a section on how to use the camera and transfer the pics and videos.

@Blickers,

no one else can access a file located on your C drive.

the easiest way to post the information would be to take screen shots of those pages...

Oops. Okay, here's the link to the download of the phone's manual:
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGLS755
Here's a screenshot of the page. Just click on "English 2727K" and the manual downloads.

Once you have the manual downloaded and on your screen, you'll find there are several ways to do what you want, from what looks like a simple way using a USB cord to other methods some might like. Page 77 gives instructions on how to transfer files, including pics, from the phone to the computer and page 86 gives instructions on how to use the camera to record pics and video.

@Blickers,
Thanks for the info. I already had the manuel downloaded, but its no help. All I want is to post images from google onto A2K, and that seems to be beyond the capability of this cellphone. With my old "el cheapo" it was easy. I guess that's progress.

@coluber2001,
For tech help like that, I usually go to https://forums.anandtech.com. I have gotten help there of that sort several times.

My experience there is that in a couple of hours or less you will get several quite useful answers. I see that in addition to computer help, they have a section on mobile phones and devices as well. I would definitely recommend registering there and putting up this question, they really seem to know their stuff.

Yesterday, I found an image on a website of which I touched with my finger and there acappeared "copy image address". I did and was able to paste the image intto A2K. But I'm unable to repeat this process with other images. I just don't understand this.

I'm having some success now by using firefox as a browser and pressing on the inage thumbnails. "Copy Image Location" comes up, you press it and you're done. Yeehaa! Hope you enjoy this image of an Okeetee corn snake.

I've discovered that I can transfer photos from Firefox to a2K but they're fuzzy they never completely come in focus. So, I download photos from Bing, then go through Firefox and put the images on a A2K. It's complicated but better than nothing.

Same image from Bing, copied and run through Firefox onto A2k.
This is a black-tail rattlesnake.

@coluber2001,
Just curious, when you see an image on Firefox, do you tap or click on it to enlarge it first before you download to A2K? If not, give that a try with your snake there and see if it works.

@Blickers,
Yeah, I click on it to get the larger image. But they all seem blurry. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or is it the cell phone or the browser.

@coluber2001,
Hopefully, someone else who has the phone might be able to instruct you, or you might try that other message board. My only question is whether you first got the larger image on the screen and if that was the reason for the blurriness. I can see now it was not.
