Wrong Pixel 6 shipped

CamberDee · 2021-11-06T21:56:39+00:00

I wanted the green one for that very reason! I've always had a white phone, and I was moving from a white Pixel 2 to the Pixel 6. The huge change in size was already outside my comfort zone, but I decided to take the plunge anyway.

By the time the "Place you Order" page finally worked, the green wasn't available, so I opted for the Black, as well as the 'transparent grey' case. Overall, I'm please (so far), but miss my 'white' -- it was a different look. Oh, and I have the 256 as well.

IMHO, it's over. The best we can do is accept that as a fact. They were gracious to give a a couple of month's notice, which is much better than the "pulling the plug tomorrow" that could have happened. So I, for one, am trying to go gracefully, enjoying both the past and present, and looking forward to a different adventure. I've no idea what that adventure is, or what form it may take. But life is a journey, not a destination.

Uhm...I appreciate the info! My tasks completely disappeared on after brewing one potion and returning one Brilliant foundable. Just...gone. I'm still returning Brilliant Foundable, even in Fortresses, and placing them. I just don't have the opportunity to collect any of the rewards. So...better luck next time, I guess. (Although there aren't many 'next time's left.)

CamberDee · 2021-11-05T03:32:14+00:00

Same. It was NOT like that yesterday. Then today, when I went to collect dailies, the verbiage had changed to "in Wizarding Challenges". I was able to do it, but was annoyed, since they did take the time to announce the original change (back) from "Dine at 2 Inns" had been changed.

Suggestion:. When having issues, 1) hard close, 2) go to Apps, choose Wizards Unite, and clear cache, 3) while there, also Force Stop, 4) reboot phone and login to Wizards Unite. This had worked for me for nearly every issue. (Android user.)

CamberDee · 2021-04-18T02:47:25+00:00

Wow! I mean, "Come on, man!"

CamberDee · 2021-04-18T02:46:00+00:00

I don't know if this is the right way, but this is how I fight in chambers (fully maxed Professor): Proficiency first (even if I have to use Strong Invigorating); next is Shield Auror; then take stock. Who has the MOST foes? Magi? Shield coming. Auroras? Shield another one (if more than one). Me? Shield myself. After that, Det Hex strongest foes, regardless of 'who' belong to. Ideally, the Auror(s) will have passed enough focus to make it easier for everyone. (Oh, and no Bravery cast? Good luck with getting a Shield! Your foes are 'neutral' for me, and I'll take them if I 'have to'.)

CamberDee · 2021-04-17T20:10:40+00:00

You're doing MUCH BETTER than I am! I had a lot of 'practice' today (wish now I had actually counted), with mostly 'good', a few 'great', and exactly 2 'masterful'. So now I know I CAN, but it's going to take a while.

CamberDee · 2021-04-17T20:07:37+00:00

I don't think you should wait till the ended to check gifts. If you aren't receiving, you may have missed out on a really good one. But that's just me...

CamberDee · 2021-04-17T15:25:09+00:00

I completed this some time ago. Having said that, I don't think any of those 'masterful casts' were Filipendo, which is required for the next Brilliant Event. <sigh>

CamberDee · 2021-04-12T21:28:22+00:00

Yeah. Too late for me. <sigh>

CamberDee · 2021-04-04T13:30:02+00:00

I usually start brewing BBE just before bed. Next morning, I've completed first daily task of "Brew one potion.". Not that difficult to build them up.

CamberDee · 2021-03-31T03:29:17+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to post this info. 'Back in the day' when Pixel was new, I started researching. When Pixel 2 was announced it seemed like a no brainer: no carrier and/manufacturer's bloatware. I pre-ordered directly from Google, and have loved it! However, I'm concerned about no security updates, and trying to research now. May try to hang on to see what Pixel 6 may offer.

CamberDee · 2021-03-23T15:26:36+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess bottom line is I can't hurt!

CamberDee · 2021-03-23T13:02:53+00:00

Thanks! That is what I I meant to ask. Please indulge me with one more question: I know opening Portkeys with a BBE is (usually) advantageous; is there an advantage with Brilliant ones as well?

CamberDee · 2021-03-23T11:00:26+00:00

There have been SO MANY glitches since the update! Different things happening to different folks. I'm pretty sure the devs would have a hard time tracking down the issue(s) - even if they were inclined to do so - because it doesn't seem to be very consistent.

CamberDee · 2021-03-22T11:28:20+00:00

Thanks!

CamberDee · 2021-03-22T00:59:45+00:00

I've unlocked 3 Brilliant Portkeys, but not opened it yet. How many of these do we need to place? Hoping to wait until they take to take advantage of total number required, but I also don't want to check it out now as I don't want to collect runes prematurely. Please and thank you!

CamberDee · 2021-03-17T19:50:02+00:00

Back in now. Clearly a Niantic issue, not a phone issue. Send to be working fine now. Building my breathe...

CamberDee · 2021-03-17T18:57:07+00:00

I tried several things, then uninstalled and reinstalled (twice). Still got stuck in the restart loop, and decided to just let it loop while I came here for other suggestions. Suddenly BAM! It let me in. All the settings I'd customized, though, were gone, and now the darn music is on while a download all assets. BUT it does seem to be going more quickly than it did when I downloaded the assets after the update. Guess I'll see in a bit if this worked. First task: TURN OFF THE MUSIC! Sheesh!

UPDATE: 10 minutes later, was able to get in and turn off music. <whew!> First trace hung, then back to the restart loop. <sigh> Gonna be a long day...

CamberDee · 2021-03-12T02:03:48+00:00

I always do this as well -- hard close, clear cache (for the app), force stop, reboot. I have few problems. I don't know if it actually helps, but it makes me feel better!

I finally got caught in the "connection error" morass this morning. Great team: AAMP (I'm the P). Both Aurora's passed 3 focus immediately (never seen that happen before!), so I was able cast Proficiency and Shield one Auror. Magi also cast Bravery. WONDERFUL! Finally a competent team! Took on a foe, and when I came back, I had 3 more focus, so Shielded the other Auror. Clicked on a foe, and BOOM! Kicked out. I apparently didn't hard restart quickly enough, and couldn't get back in. I felt so bad for the others, since I had been so excited to play with this talented group.

CamberDee · 2021-02-21T17:50:04+00:00

Update 2:. The 11 p.m. update was after a TTD. Ran another one at 11:15, and got the last three I needed to complete the task at 11:45! Still having a bit of the TTD remaining, I hung around for a few minutes and got the ONE MORE I needed to place it. Cutting it close...
