    YouTube Music "now playing" info no longer displayed on lock screen

    Problem solved (hopefully it sticks). I just received an update to YouTube Music. I am getting song info on the AOD again but not the lock screen. That's fine, that is what I had and now it's back! Thanks all! :)

    YouTube Music "now playing" info no longer displayed on lock screen

    Yes, I have had "Skip Lock Screen" on since I got the phone and song info worked for almost a year now. I think I see where you were going with that though. My mistake - although I wonder if it matters - I was mostly referring to the always on display (AOD) like when the phone is sitting on a...

    YouTube Music "now playing" info no longer displayed on lock screen

    Recently, the YouTube song information that normally displayed on my lock screen has vanished. It might have been right after 14 and i didn't notice or around that time. It only show today's weather and the words "Daily Forecast" (which is new, right?). I've done my search, read lots of Reddit...

    An accidental tap leads to years of messages lost

    I should have mentioned... I have both right and left swipes set to archive. I managed to do it despite all the steps involved.

    An accidental tap leads to years of messages lost

    Hi guys... I recently posted this in another community. I realized that this forum has always been so helpful and interesting that I thought I would share it here too. PSA/Reminder: If you delete a conversation in Google Messages, it is gone. There is no trash can. However, keep reading...

    Weird phone-generated dotted selection boxes on photos; never seen before??

    As I read the start of this, I thought no way is that lens flare (as far as I know). But, reading more, it actually sounds like the best explanation I have heard. I will share that with him. I didn't expect such an "old" phone's forum to get any attention. Thanks @B. Diddy and @Mooncatt !!

    Weird phone-generated dotted selection boxes on photos; never seen before??

    Excellent question and sharp eye! I was pretty sure that would be way out of his norm and I was right. He was using the Pixel camera software. The share was through Signal.

    Weird phone-generated dotted selection boxes on photos; never seen before??

    That's a good guess but doesn't match his typical behavior and I think he would have told me. Also, they are slim boxes that appear to have no "target." See below and note that there are two boxes, only have one in the photo. Here's all I got. Ring a bell? Sorry, my initial description of the...

    Dreaded green flicker on right side of screen

    It came back (screen flashing when you hit the power button to turn off the screen, not green). Rebooting helps much less now. Comes back same day. I'll just reframe it as a feature; it's a cool way for your screen to turn off! Totally unique!

    Weird phone-generated dotted selection boxes on photos; never seen before??

    I am asking this for a friend. I don't have the photos. I don't have the EXIF data. He showed me over lunch the other day and I have never seen anything like it in all my Pixel/Samsung years. I said I would ask here for him. These photos were taken at a concert but before it began, so the...

    Dreaded green flicker on right side of screen

    Came back to say it stopped after a reboot. I wanted to give it plenty of time to see if the problem returned. It hasn't. BUT - I didn't have green flashes. They were just plain flashing whatever was on the phone screen when I hit the power button.

    Dreaded green flicker on right side of screen

    Since a few days ago, my P7P flashes/flickers the screen and then turns off when I press the power button. It flickers between what happens to be on the screen and a black screen. Maybe 2-3 cycles. Just me? Thanks all!

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    First, thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated. I wanted to come back and give a final report. Long story short, evidence points to the charger. Replaced it. It's a first. Never had a charger "go bad." I have my 6:00am silent alarm set so adaptive charging has a target. When I plug it in...

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    I thought I had to use an alarm for adaptive charging to work. Doesn't that tell it how to manage the charging overnight?

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    It indicated it is charging when I hit the sack. In the morning, there is no indication it is charging. Last time, it was 40% in the morning. The previous time, it was around 25% in the morning. I think it's charging at first then something is causing it to stop. I started using a different...

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    It's AM but I appreciate the heads up, I could see myself doing something stupid like that. Trying new cable tonight.

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    Good thought. I didn't touch the phone until 745am. I have a silent alarm set for 6am to ensure the phone is fully charged when I get up which is usually anywhere between 6:00am and 730am. I'm currently attempting the "natural wake-up" approach, no alarm. :)

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    Thanks for the reply. I did check the port and blow it out but I didn't check the cable. It seems to be in good shape. I'm still going to swap it out with a different one.

    Is adaptive charging reliable? No overnight charge twice in a week

    My phone didn't charge overnight. This is the second time in about a week so I thought I'd get your thoughts. I am sure I plugged it in properly and felt the little buzz that it was connected. This morning, I checked that the cable was in before I unplugged it. I unplugged/plugged in again just...

    My Pixel has been freezing up lately

    Going on six days now. Still using Pixel launcher. No freeze-ups. No flashing screen transitions. Still getting that really smooth experience. Going to stick with it for now. I am trying to adapt to not having certain other launcher features. A lot of it is just recalibrating muscle memory.
