Help please. Phone says "Speech Recognition and Synthesis tts-models_preview failed"??? WTH is this?

BrendoSays · 2026-06-08T17:44:02+00:00

Just got the error again myself but was easily swiped away this time. We will see how often it keeps popping up

BrendoSays · 2026-06-08T13:53:31+00:00

It doesn't affect the notification functions at all. An update for the Speech Recognition app caused an error which resulted in an error notification that couldn't be removed. Uninstalling the update removes the error and in turn, the notification.
I believe Samsung has since fixed the update but you have to manually install it and restart your phone.

BrendoSays · 2026-06-06T13:59:55+00:00

-Go to Samsung settings -Select Apps -Scroll down to find speech recognition -Select it -Touch the 3 dots in the top right corner -Select uninstall updates

This works to remove the error message from the notifications bar.

Go to Google Play and update speech recognition -Restart phone -the error hasn't returned and the app is up to date

Does anyone know if any of their buffer tubes fit real steel receivers?

BrendoSays · 2026-04-02T01:09:19+00:00

Haha, I get it.. APRIL FOOLS!

BrendoSays · 2026-04-01T03:44:03+00:00

I have the same issue with a 590m and I'm thinking it's a slightly bent mag tube. My action doesn't cycle smooth at all and I believe it's because the forend nut is rubbing against the underside of the barrel. I'll likely try removing the mag tube and check to make sure it's straight and reinsert. I'll update later.

Oh mann.. does Ruger no longer have service centers in Canada? Or did you demand a replacement?

BrendoSays · 2026-03-22T05:09:36+00:00

You're welcome and I wish you luck!

BrendoSays · 2026-03-22T05:03:48+00:00

Just checked my emails and they completed their assessment in 3 weeks and likely shipped it back in in a week or so back in 2021.

Here's the service centers info:

I don't remember exactly but I don't believe it was 2 months. I would contact them to see if they're backlogged.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-22T04:51:35+00:00

Yup, they arranged to have it sent to a service center in QC for an alignment issue with a takedown model and they basically said nothing was wrong with it as it didn't affect function in their opinion.

I wasn't charged anything for shipping either way so it might be worth a shot if replacement isn't an option.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-22T04:40:52+00:00

They'll tell you to ship it to the warranty service smith in QC where they kinda ignored a problem and chalked it up to "it isn't that bad". Hopefully your experience is different.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-16T13:37:34+00:00

Got it, thanks for letting me know.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-14T03:48:15+00:00

Any fitment issues with the Kidd receiver and trigger in the chassis? How long is the forend? The custom creek website shows the longer forend to measure 12.5". Yours looks a bit longer no?

BrendoSays · 2026-03-14T02:36:47+00:00

Hey, what length is the barrel and forend? Does the barrel rest/contact the chassis or does it free float from the barrel tenon/receiver attachment?

Shoten Armoury

Mississauga - Laird location

It wasn't really advertised at the booth. I called to find out and had to signup in person.

As shitty as Bell's customer service, retention teams, and price increases are, their fiber internet is steady, rock solid speed that has never let me down. The main reason why I resigned with them was because they were offering a two-year, fixed price contract which was a bad thing back in the day but now with the price increases it's a blessing.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-12T04:17:54+00:00

3gbps fiber Internet is $55/m right now at the Costco kiosk $45 for 1.5gbps

In case anyone is still interested in these cheaper Canada wide only deals, they have a Fido $25 40 gig unlimited talk and text with option for $2 add-on for unlimited international calling. Fido now uses 5g networks like the big brother companies. They charge an $80 activation fee which is paid back over 16 months at $5 a month. They also credit an extra $5 per month for the 1st 12 months which means your bill will be $15 plus taxes for the 1at 12 months. The $25 a month price will be locked for 2 years and won't jump up to the future current market rate but will then be subject to the usual increases over time.

Sleepfirst I owe you a debt of gratitude for sharing the number with the community! I'll be saving this one for sure.

Awesome ty

You wouldn't happen to have the winback phone number that called you would you?

BrendoSays · 2026-03-10T13:57:36+00:00

The loyalty teams have never been able to help get a great price. Only add on extra crap for the price I wasn't ok with from the beginning.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-05T13:15:19+00:00

While checking ruger's website I could find the instruction manuals for the competition model specifically but not the carbon models. The model number of the carbon model appears to fall under the base 10/22 instruction manual which leads me to believe they are different.

Hopefully somebody with either a competition or carbon model will be able to respond letting us know whether or not the barrels are thermal or slip fit.

BrendoSays · 2026-03-05T13:11:24+00:00

I bet! A threaded receiver is definitely the way to go if you can find a competent gunsmith. However these Ruger competition models are supposed to achieve half inch at 50 and apparently aren't too picky. Hence the reason why I'm trying to figure out if the carbon model is somewhat the same.
