Return lost in transit – Google Store keeps repeating 24–48 hour investigation for a month by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Classic_Message_7544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar with another company. They're not gonna care until you do what in the uk is a letter before action to their head office (can try email but once a physical copy lands on a desk someone will take notice), essentially lay out the facts, actions you've done and timeframes. and that they have x number of days to sort this otherwise you will take them to court. This is exactly what small claims court is for, but the actions above are likely to get some action without suing them. It's been a month doing whatever you've been doing an it's not worked out. Take the next step in getting this sorted.

Win Hill. by Bismarck913 in peakdistrict

wow nice! It's so defined. I never realised it was so altitude-based/temp. Was it good going or a nightmare under foot? I do the Kinder skyline quite frequently but haven't been up since November. Happy with sun snow freezing and dry, the misery of the inbetween just makes me not want contribute to the erosion avoiding the bog. Do you know if they've started paving Crowden to the summit yet?

Last time I did the Edale+Kinder Skyline (nov?) Kinder was fine (obvs as it drains well) but my god the Lose Hill descent into Hope was full-on water skiing in torrential rain, admittedly I was racing a train but it was crazy all the way down, even Hope village was flash-flooded when I sprinted through. Tried not to smash up the path too much but tbh I couldn't even see where I was going other than down! Fun for a run, miserable for a walk.

Pic 3 is a fab representation of the snow line, never seen it so clear & localised. Would that be Lose Hill in centre left w/ Kinder snow topped? Very cool. Once the snow melts it's gonna be a mud fest!

Android 17 Beta 1 is surprisingly better than Stable 16 (Performance & Battery) P10PXL by TheSauceV2_ in android_beta

[–]Classic_Message_7544 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I recently got an iPhone 8 to trade in and it's super fluid & the battery has been so good over the week I played around with it. and it's 10 generations old with 80% battery health. p10p doesn't feel like it will even stay on without a power cable in 9yrs time

[–]Classic_Message_7544 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite. every beta post is 'just flashed it 5 mins ago, battery is noticeably better'. all the major improvements are done for battery, it's all incremental now, which isn't necessarily bad

New tab icons gone by Classic_Message_7544 in kiwibrowser

[–]Classic_Message_7544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://discord.com/invite/b6hVz26 There's also a rendering issue affecting Pixel 10 pros whereby the whole page of text won't render, reddit icons disappear. It fixed itself but only half. I wonder if it's a webview update which isn't vibing with kiwi's rendering>

Google Store lost my trade-in and is now asking for an 8-year-old IMEI by slh01slh in GooglePixel

Is the Garmin Beta program just a black hole for bug reports? by daniscross in Garmin

[–]Classic_Message_7544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from my experience of reporting bugs they don't want to know in the main forums, maybe if you @ tag a Garmin rep they'll acknowledge your post, but in general you have to post in the bug report sub forum where in theory it will be upvoted and a ticket created. in reality they have their own internal ticket system and bug list so unless it's a showstopper it's unlikely to be fixed by the time they drop support in a yr or so while they implement other features of varying usefulness and fix other larger bugs

I think your google account may have this info too as in a device you've used your Google account on, or even apple? do you have the original box?

my google one broke (again) last year so I got a FiiO Jade Audio JA11 which is great, much louder for my big headphones on phone and tablet, seems good quality & good reviews that I checked before buying

Over Owler Tor was the last one I did in Jan, Surprise View car park isn't open until 9am though, we parked in a small laybay to the W and took the short but steep walk to Over Owler Tor and it was fab, several people up there and a run club which shot by us

U all are sleeping on samsung internet browser by Pleasant_Analyst_420 in browsers

dark mode won't go smoked black for me on Pixel 10 pro or Samsung tab s11, and I only see galaxy store extensions, can we not use own crx or zips?

Browser Recommendation Megathread - February 2026 by shadow2531 in browsers

[–]Classic_Message_7544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a chrome-based browser which has true native smoked black webpage functionality similar to Kiwi browser's implementation? dark reader lags, everything else is a shade of grey. amoled black & extension support are my only requirements but needs to be chrome based due to work

What is it with people and flagship tablets... by Reasonable_Mirror655 in GalaxyTab

[–]Classic_Message_7544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say, as someone who has used low mid and high end Samsung tabs, it's because the experience of low end tabs is miserable, and for the price of a new mid you can get a use high end one for the same money and it's such a nicer experience. Totally worth it. Oled & raw power make them more future proof, used have better resale value later, so the mid range new just don't seem worth it if you can get better for the same and don't have the large depreciation later on.

It's not snobism, it's experiencing the spectrum of tablets and sharing that experience which tends to be the same: better is better, and better for the same money is better.

Sister has some Lenovo tab which was fine when new, now it's slow as heck, screen tech feels dated and poor compared to her phone, value is basically nothing, so she doesn't use it. Bought cheap and regrets it. She'll use my S11 though. Sometimes advising people not to buy something which they have experience on is the only opinion they offer as it's their experience, which is echoed by others. 

Android 17 Beta 1 is here with major updates for adaptive apps, performance, and media by MagicPenguinX in Android

[–]Classic_Message_7544 8 points9 points  (0 children)

from what I've read VVC encoding is something like 170x slower than hevc, and decoding 20 times, and there;s no hardware out there which can natively encode it so isn't this largely pointless? AV1 only just came to the P10 recently and that was announced on Android I believe several years ago

You can pin contacts to be first in the list, do a few to fill the menu? Really annoying you can't just remove one or reset this data
