I have a Google Pixel 6 256MB phone I have been enjoying for more than 6 months now, after having nightmares with the Galaxy A51. I have this kind of annoying quirk when switching between music apps while playing through BT headphones. I use PowerAmp 3.x for music, and a Audible and few other...

Thanks; That's what I was afraid of, and why I didn't buy any of the stylus I found on Amazon. It would be best if I owned a tablet, which is something I am considering anyway. Just need to decide between Windows and Linux or Android? But that's a subject for another thread. Edit: I did find a...

I have large fingers, and often have trouble hitting the right keys while texting, as well as manipulating the tiny grab-points in the eufy security app to set up a motion zone. I have already tried the large key keyboards, but they tend to obscure the writing space, so not much use for me. I...

I ended up buying the Anker model for about $5 more, because Amazon wanted $5 to ship the Google one. While it was pretty much a 'push', I have a peeve about paying shipping on Amazon Prime. I have always liked Anker products anyway.

Thanks B.Diddy; I guess I'm still thinking 'old school' with analog volume controls, which I would never crank up to max. I'll go with the Google adapter.

Hey guys; I drive a (very) old Subaru, which does not have wireless audio. My old phone had a headphone jack, so I was able to plug into my sound system using a 3.5mm TRS plug using the aux input. The Pixel 6 does not have a headphone jack, but I assume that I can route audio over USB if I use a...

Touch sounds are turned on. Yes, other sounds are working. No other BT devices connected.

Hey guys; I've got a new Pixel 6 running Android 13. When I first set up the phone, it was running 12, but I allowed the upgrade to 13. I am not hearing any touch sounds on the phone - either from the speaker or from connected BT headphones. Haptic feedback is working. I have touch sounds...

From what I understand, a charge cycle is a full recharge - probably from 20% to 100%. Anything less counts as only a fraction of a charge cycle. So, technically, you can get more cycles from the battery if you don't allow it to drop below 50% and above 80-85%, but as you said, you will be...

Thanks VidJunky; That seems to have done the trick! I thought I had turned battery saver off and turned off optimization for all of my important apps, but that may have been several months ago on this phone when it was running A11. Recently, the phone upgraded itself to A12, and I would assume...

I've got a Galaxy A51 running Android 12, and a Galaxy Watch 4 with the latest update (One UI ver 4.0). The audio app is running on the phone. I start the player from the controls on the phone app, but I may pause play using the play/pause control on the watch. Pausing from the watch always...

How about uninstalling/disabling apps using ADB running on my Windows PC - using either WiFi or USB. I found a couple of blogs describing the process, which does not require rooting. Thing is, are the uninstalled/disabled apps going to return the next time the watch is updated? That has been my...

Update: I believe I have figured out (but not solved) the problem with the notification sound not playing on my headphones: It is the latency of the JBL/UA headphones, which I believe are using AAC. When I wasn't listening to music, but had the headphones on and paired, I heard only the tail-end...

Hello; I purchased a Galaxy A51 phone (Tracfone) and a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic last December. Since then, I have been frustrated by the amount of 'bloatware' and apps that simply do not function properly. For example, the Samsung Health app does not work well enough to give me any useful data...

Update: No, I haven't fixed the problem. The sound I thought was coming from my headphones was actually coming from my phone's speaker. This appears to have started after one of the Textra updates, so I guess I need to post in their forum.
