    Google Maps language

    I have my phone set to Canada English, but Google Maps shows terms like petrol stations and motorways. How do I get Maps to use north American terms?

    Banding disappears on its own?

    After having my new pixel 2 XL for less than 24 hours, I saw some banding and a blob on the side of the screen. I'll attach a photo if it works. I contacted a Google support which had me try a few things. But then they told me I should try the retailer first. I haven't had a chance to go back...

    Can't change background settings on chromecasts?

    Just bought a couple of Chromecast 2.0s, and set them up tonight. But when I try to follow the instructions on how to change the background settings, etc, something is amiss. When I go into the device tab on the Google Home app and hit the hamburger menu, the only option it shows is to reboot...

    Google Clock not working in Direct Boot?

    I have a 6p running Nougat, the U version. I use Google Clock for my alarm. The last clock update supposedly enabled the alarms to work in Direct Boot. However, multiple times my phone has rebooted overnight and been stuck on my Android PIN screen, and the alarm has not worked. Do I need to...

    Will phone always dispaly "Charging Rapidly" during the charge cycle?

    Long story short, I've gone through a few car chargers from Vinsic, as at first they would let my phone fast charge in the car as evidenced by the "charging rapidly" message. This morning I tried my new replacement charger (as the old one stopped fast charging it seems) and my battery was...

    Vinsic 3A car charging stopped charging rapidly

    Bought one of these to use with my iBOLT Cpro dock a month or so ago. Things worked great, but in the past few days I noticed that my phone now only reports as "charging" and not "charging rapidly" with the car charger. Has anyone had a Vinsic quit on them like that? Or at least the fast...

    6P - Another random reboot thread, but this time with weather!

    As I've posted in another thread or two, I have had my 6p for about a month now, on Rogers up here in Canada. I love the phone, aside from one annoying problem....... it's propensity to randomly reboot. I notice this because I have left on the Android OS security feature, only to track the...

    Interruptions not working?

    I have a Telus HTC M7 running 5.0.2. After a recent update a few months ago, it seems DND was taken away. Now, when trying to use interruptions, they dont' seem to work. I have a downtime schedule set, but the phone just ignores it. Also when I use the volume key, I do NOT see interruption...

    Keep getting "Internet Connection is Established" Message?

    I'm not sure when this started happening, but I'd guess the past few months or so I've noticed it. I constantly get a "internet connection is established" message popping up on my phone when using it, especially when I first wake it up from having it in my pocket. This happens on both wifi and...

    Background Data in AC app

    When browsing the usage stats on my phone, the AC app is the biggest data muncher this month. And of the 90 megs it's used, 88 of them are from background data. I don't have the widget running on my phone, and have the app set to refresh when it's opeened, so I would assume that counts as...

    Pocketcasts : Auto-download multiple episodes of same podcast?

    I have auto downlaod on, but it only gets the latest episode of a particular cast. But one of my subscriptions puts out 2 or 3 small podcasts a day. Is there a way to get pocketcast to download ALL new files, rather than just the one?

    Google Now slow on Nexus S???

    I have JB on my Nexus S. I realize it's older hardware and probably JB is reaching the limits of taxing it....... but sometimes it takes forever to get to Google Now when I hit the search button. Or if I'm trying to use the microphone, it takes forever for the screen to show up, sometimes...

    Default keyboard restoring after phone reboot?

    I use thumb keyboard on my Nexus S with JB. Every time I reboot my phone, it goes back to the default Android keyboard. I did a google search and it appears this happens with Swype as well, so I'm thinking it's an Android OS issue, not an app specfic one. Anyone else having this problem?

    Samsung book cover case causing Tab to shut down?

    So yesterday i picked up the Book cover case for my Tab 10.1. I love it, fits well, etc as should be expected. But something weird seems to be happening now, and I don't know if it's just coincidence, or if the case is causing it. At one point I had the case closed, and then opened it up...
