    Oct 2018 Update problems

    I put on Pie. Phone worked well. Put on the October security update and when my wife tried to call me the next day, no audio or mic and then the phone shut off. I was unable to get it to turn on. Was very glad I backed it up the day before. I ended up claiming under extended warranty...

    Android Messages

    I just read this on a zdnet. Hope I am not violating anything this way. This is a real stinker for me as I was going to but this tomorrow as I wanted to be able to read messages (not interested in responding) as I am an old school heavy texter. Not being able to use my text message app is...

    Google services eating battery. Anyone else?

    Anyone using a network extender?

    Except wouldn't an extender keep you cell/data signal primo and not "hunting" and reduce battery consumption?

    Considering Pixel Xl, ??? first

    Playing with my wifes, I thought I would hate it. However just setting it up and playing with it I adapted and it was a non-event. I thought I would *ahem* and moan about it...but it seems good.

    Moving from iPhone5 to Pixel

    Ok...did it. The included plug DID work (I was surprised). Data move took about 5-8 minutes. However it took almost two HOURS for all the texts to populate the messenger screen. They all did move over and granted, there were texts back from January 2013. She was pleased and I was too. So...

    Textra LED Notification

    My wifes blinks once and is done. Is there a "priority" of what messages blink the light? Seems like the email notification always overrides the Textra...she wants texts to override email...

    Moving from iPhone5 to Pixel

    I found she actually updated the phone (to 9.3.3 no less). I am ecstatic as the Pixel transfer method should work. I will be doing it this evening when I can have the phone a few hours in a row to do the data transfer.

    Moving from iPhone5 to Pixel

    He is...but I don't see any major changes coming. I am luke warm at the pair coming but holding judgment until after next season to see how its all handled. CTT was an absolute disaster but Fickell has never had "average" athletes being at OSU since 02.

    Moving from iPhone5 to Pixel

    If its iOS8 and up...says it will move it. However she is on six...*smacks head*... All this headache for text messages she doesnt even read. I am nuts.

    Moving from iPhone5 to Pixel

    I am in the process of moving my wifes *ahem* from her iPhone to the Pixel. However I am kinda stuck at texts. She "has" to have them (why is beyond my comprehension) and we don't have iTunes running (neither of us can remember her password). She hasn't backed her phone up in forever and she...

    Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

    Some have believed that. I figured that when some of the Nexus that had good call quality dropped when they went Nougat that it was an OS issue versus hardware. Pain is still there and Google should delivery the fix to Google phones first which I think will happen given the P Canada update...

    Storage Cached Data
