    Android 12 now officially available

    Installed it this morning after reading the above threads. So far so good, no issues. Seams to be as fast as 11 and I like the new material you colors it selects. I'm going to delve a little deeper today.

    Three months with my chromebook

    Back in June, I got an Acer Chromebook Spin 713, my first Chromebook. I was all in on the Google ecosystem, having used the chrome browser for years, and have a Google Pixel phone. I had done a lot of research and found that the 713 was one of the best at the time. I got a good deal at the time...

    No more updates, looks like, as you guys said, they were playing catchup.

    Travel router connection problems

    I have an Acer Spin 713, had it for about two weeks, and recently went on an overnight trip. I began using a travel router for security when using hotel wifi and have an issue. I can connect and set it up with my phone, or another windows laptop, but when I use the Chromebook, I can connect to...

    Play stops when using headphone adapter on Pixel 3

    gomezz: didn't even realize that such an adapter existed until yesterday. I may have gone that route if I had seen them first. We have older cars that have an aux jack and with the old Blackberry I had a 3.5 to 3.5 cord plugged into the headphone, given the issue with that adapter I purchased...

    Play stops when using headphone adapter on Pixel 3

    so I decided to bypass the adapter altogether and went with a set of Bluetooth headphones. They are the same Koss Plug design, just Bluetooth. Now I am wondering why I didn't do that a long time ago. I use the phone when I am working in the yard and garage and not having to have a wire with a...

    Android 11 message every morning

    i was kind of thinking this was the case. The phone was android 9 when I got it, then updated to 10, and I think the next day, to 11. Having a blackberry keyone, I was getting updated like twice a year so I am not used to having a phone that is current. We'll just watch and see.

    Android 11 message every morning

    I updated to android 11 a few days ago and ever sense I get a message every morning saying Android 11: to finish updating, restart your device. I do that and see the same message the next day. Is this normal?

    Just got a new Pixel 3

    I figured it out, I first installed the Blackberry Hub and Services app, then installed the Blackberry Hub and Inbox and it works, emails, texts, and phone calls all appear in the Hub, just like on the Keyone.

    Play stops when using headphone adapter on Pixel 3

    B. Diddy Thanks for the reply, these are a set of Koss Plug earbuds. I have been using them for years for motorcycle riding. They have a foam earplug that works well to muffle the wind noise in the helmet. I did try them with another set of headphones that I use at my desktop and the same thing...

    Photographer-Motorcyclist-Google Fan

    thanks for all the welcomes, I'm going to check out some of those photo threads. I am interested to see what I can do with different photo apps. I too need to use Windows because of Photoshop and Lightroom. I tried Linux Mint for a time but found I needed several programs that I have come to...

    Just got a new Pixel 3

    I miss the hub the most, but when I tried to install it on the Pixel it didn't work, just gave me a message saying it keeps stopping, I was bummed and I can't find something that does what the Hub does, I am surprised that someone has not come up with something to compete with it, seeing how...

    Just got a new Pixel 3

    It was my favorite also, in fact, when the KeyOne went down and I was waiting for the Pixel to come in I went back to the Passport, I could use the phone, texts and I had a browser on it called Browsey Browser and it worked. It was kind of fun to use it again.
