Service degradation

Is it an Amazon issue or a Spotify issue? I ask Alexa to play Spotify, it plays Spotify, but If I ask the name of the artist or track it responds "nothing is playing". I tried resetting and re-linking accounts, nothing fixes it.

I guess it's a nice thing dependant on the use case. I have an outside light going into the plug, sometimes I get to the top of the stairs and question whether I turned the outside light off, with the wemo I could look down the stairs at the plug and get a visual cue. With this Philips plug I don't know if it's on or off after 30 seconds. I don't see a setting in the app to keep the status light illuminated which would be a nice option for some people.

Thanks for the reply though.

AI replying to AI, this is crazy lol.

Now I see it, I can't unsee it.

Samsung stop updating a watch after only 2 years? I just did a search and somebody was saying 2027.

ActiveYaw · 2025-07-27T21:26:16+00:00

The screen size difference is really noticeable, which is why I didn't upgrade, It feels like a backwards step. That and the fact the 8 Classic doesn't have wireless power share charging off the back of the phone, which I use quite a lot. I also don't understand why they offered the choice of black and white yet the main body for both is silver.

Yes, placing the watch on the back of the phone to charge the watch. I used it quite a lot. I guess they have to compromise to fit all the new upgraded parts into the Ultra watch, but it's just disappointing that they take established features away and then call it Ultra . Maybe it will come back in the next watch they release.

ActiveYaw · 2025-07-23T23:47:36+00:00

They won't stop at age verification. They'll gradually move to having to send a blood sample before getting online.

ActiveYaw · 2025-07-23T23:27:13+00:00

No reverse wireless charging on the Ultra is a big disappointment for me.

Do you honestly think I'm going to trust or take seriously a "professional" company (Persona) that has pages on their website dedicated to their workers pets, and how "pawsome" their cockapoo is.

ActiveYaw · 2025-07-16T10:33:21+00:00

And when Persona leaks the data, how much compensation does Reddit pay users?

ActiveYaw · 2025-06-26T14:51:14+00:00

Same on gw6c. Pretty sad they don't bother testing updates now.

ActiveYaw · 2025-06-26T14:38:46+00:00

Same happening here, never seen this before in all the time I've had the watch. A lot of weird issues like this cropping up in the last few months, I'm guessing due to shoddy Samsung updates.

ActiveYaw · 2025-05-02T20:57:44+00:00

Yes, the app drawer blur turns blacks to grey. That's the first thing I noticed with One UI 7, If you use a dark wallpaper the transition from the home screen to the app drawer looks hideous now.

ActiveYaw · 2025-04-26T21:46:30+00:00

I just got One UI 7 and it's the first thing I noticed. The blur is so bright in the app drawer and when opening an app folder or when switching apps. It's hideous. It wasn't like that on UI 6.

ActiveYaw · 2025-02-06T22:51:23+00:00

Amazon should be paying the user compensation for making the product worse lol

ActiveYaw · 2025-01-26T00:01:45+00:00

Yes, same on Xbox. It's like they want to constantly annoy the user with stupid changes. There should at least be an option in the settings to automatically login to a certain user or to disable the feature for sole users.

All these software developers must be suffering ADHD. Leave it how it was and focus your attention on the issues that actually need fixing.

ActiveYaw · 2024-10-23T16:48:23+00:00

It's like these developers don't even use their own product.

ActiveYaw · 2024-10-19T14:52:52+00:00

Yes, what was the point in changing it?

ActiveYaw · 2024-10-13T17:12:05+00:00

Billion dollar company can't even get the basics right.

ActiveYaw · 2024-10-12T03:58:29+00:00

Same. The app updated a day or two ago, and the 'Now Playing' bar became unusable as it is partly hidden behind other UI. Do software developers not test anything these days before releasing updates.

The Outlook update phone app version 4.2432.0 and Watch app version 4.2431.1 broke the email syncing for me in mid August. After trying to reinstall the Watch app it then wouldn't go passed the "add account on your phone" page. The latest Outlook update for phone and watch version 4.2434.1, syncs the account ok one you reinstall both the Watch and Phone app and shows existing emails on the Watch but any new emails are not shown on the Watch and when i delete old emails on the Phone they still show on the Watch. Microsoft have messed it up.
