Backup with SmartSwitch?? I don't recall seeing any way to do this. I'll take a look now. I've been using Pixels for a number of years. Before that I had Motorolas. I've never had an issue with transferring to a new device - apps associated with my Google account automatically install after the...

SmartSwitch was finished and the apps were installed. ALL of them disappeared after the reboot. I had confirmed a handful were working prior to the reboot by starting them up I don't know how many it was in total but probably at least 3 dozen. The phone is telling me there is a new update to...

New Samsung user here. S24 Ultra. I just setup the phone and ran Smart Switch and transferred everything over from my old phone - a Pixel 6a. After I verified everything was there I checked for OS updates and saw a new Android version available - I have no idea if it was just a monthly...

It's the same app version that I was running on my 7 Pro. I'm not even using the app on the 8 - I can't even pair with the device. The app doesn't enter into it.

I just traded in my 7 Pro for an 8 Pro as my daily driver and have a second phone on Fi and got a pretty sizeable discount for an upgrade so I grabbed a Pixel 8 there. I am having some Bluetooth problems and maybe someone can offer some suggestions before I go the painful route of going through...

Not sure what you're referring to. Can you fill me in?

I will reach out to Garmin but as I said I had zero issues with my 3a XL and the same watch. It's only single notifications. I have never let them stack up.

I have an issue with my 7 Pro and my Garmin Vivoactive3. I had experienced this with my 6 also but was convinced it was the phone itself which led me to trade up to the 7 Pro, but the same thing has been happening with the new 7 Pro. I have Garmin Connect installed and tend to keep my phone...

Pixel 6 running Android 13. Suddenly, a few days ago, Maps stopped saying street names during navigation. Instead of saying "Take exit 6B toward I-495 north" it just says "take the interchange on the right" and instead of "take the next right onto Main Street" it says "take the next right" -...

Yes, that was the first thing I tried and the only thing they suggested I do.

We'll see. I still have no credit - they are asking me to prove ownership, which I can't sine they were a gift. Now they want me to open the case and take a picture of the markings showing the case number and serial number next to a hand-written piece of paper with the sam info written on it. I...

She wanted to send me a replacement until I pointed out that they're not under warranty, which she confirmed. Although they wouldn't be able to send a replacement anyway since they no longer have these in stock. They are giving me Google Store credit and the rep said she can't tell me how much...

I am chatting with support now. Not hopeful - whoever I'm dealing with doesn't seem too bright. I'll post an update when done.

I see no obvious way to contact Google for support for something like this other than to use the Pixel buds app developer support contact email listed in the play store.

I'm still seeing the same behavior. I posted on the Google support forums and basically got no real information. I notice a difference in charge between left and right of about 25% after 90 minutes of use and the bud removed from the case first is always the one that drains the fastest.
