    Question How Do I get My Pixel to *NOT* Display the Title of a Podcast When Screen is Locked!?

    I recently upgraded to a new Pixel 7a. It has the exact screen shown above. By disabling "Show media on lock screen" - there is only a 'partial' effect. It does hide the 'larger' media controls on the lock screen including the graphic icon of the media etc. etc. But it still continues to...

    Question How Do I get My Pixel to *NOT* Display the Title of a Podcast When Screen is Locked!?

    That would look to be the perfect solution - unfortunately my Pixel 3a (soon to be upgraded) w/ Android 12 does NOT have the option "Show media on lock screen". Per this thread I also dug thru Settings>Sound>Media and Settings>Display>Lock Screen>Privacy. But again - NO LUCK. My device just...

    Question How Do I get My Pixel to *NOT* Display the Title of a Podcast When Screen is Locked!?

    Anyone? Or is this in fact just the way it is designed? (and thus why I couldn't find any solutions searching online) thx

    Question How Do I get My Pixel to *NOT* Display the Title of a Podcast When Screen is Locked!?

    I use Google Podcast to listen to various podcasts. Sometimes they (the titles) may be of a sensitive nature. When my phone screen is LOCKED it clearly displays the title of the podcast that is playing. I would prefer to keep the titles of my podcasts private. (at least sometimes) I have hunted...

    Propane (LPG) Tank and/or Water Storage Tank Sensor Level Monitoring? Google Home compatible?

    For say a 250ga buried LPG tank with a standard or R3D dial - is there some sort of wifi device I can connect to the dial and be able to read/monitor propane tank levels remotely without having to physically go out and inspect the tank? Maybe even have an alarm trigger if the propane gets too...

    Project Fi Referral Program and Adding Group Plan

    My spouse is on Sprint and I'm on Fi. She's looking to make the switch to Fi and I would like to take advantage of the referral program. They are offering a $20 to referrer and $20 to new member referral credit but this does not apply to adding someone to your group plan. In reading the Ts and...

    5X w/ Fi Unable to Place Calls thru Wifi OR Cell - Anyone Experience This?

    I am trying the 5X and Fi as I like the idea of using my WiFi when I can. However it's not infallible and after storms etc. I can have no internet for hours or occasionally longer. Cell is usually decent here - I had Sprint before for years and it worked OK. I've had my 5X for just over a week...

    Brand New Nexus 5X w/ Compass/GPS Issue: No way to manually correct? What else?

    I've done several more Figure8 dances and I'm seeing minimally accurate directional accuracy. GPS location is still spotty with it jumping around a lot between 10 feet shifts to 50 feet shifts and in different directions at different times. But it's reverted to crazy directions excessive...

    Brand New Nexus 5X w/ Compass/GPS Issue: No way to manually correct? What else?

    What I've done - long version: There's a LOT of articles, blogs, threads, posts on this very topic and I believe I've tried most of the solutions... When first trying Google Maps, got the prompt and did the up down left right rotate calibration and did it. No joy. Nougat 7.0 upgrade presented...

    Brand New Nexus 5X w/ Compass/GPS Issue: No way to manually correct? What else?

    I received my new 5X a few days ago from Google and made the switch to fi at same time. On very first car drive noticed it was repeatedly recalculating and rerouting me... hmmm - thus began my discovery of the GPS issues. Turns out it was 90 degrees rotated to the right and about 40+ feet...
