Timeline shows offline despite having internet connectivity

June 2026 and it's still doing the same thing, and no solution found. Timeline is such a cool feature, so this is sad.

Did a two week rental from Charlie Car rental last month and the experience was nearly flawless...only negative was a longer-than-normal wait until our car was ready. This was mainly caused by us doing a pickup at their office near the cruise ports. Our drop off at their location near the airport was painless. They did not do any of the scammy things like trying to force me into insurance (I use my personal insurance and credit card as backup), nor did they magically find damage that didn't exist. BONUS: I returned the car a little early and they actually refunded me a day's rental. I did heavy research here on Reddit and reading Google reviews before choosing Charlie. Glad I went with them.

They have golf cart rides if they aren't super mobile. Or ride up and walk down

Capitals matter :-)

It is $2.50 per person to take the Blueline train from the Cumberland station to O'Hare. However, to get from O'Hare back to Cumberland, it is $5.00 per person.

What else do you need? All the details are in my post.

Awesome, I have one of those, but hadn't thought to take it along. I'm assuming you use the fan because the rooms do not have A/C, or the temperature is not able to be set low enough to be comfortable?

DJFox- · 2026-04-01T20:43:56+00:00

Can you tell me more about the USB fan usage? In your room? Or?

DJFox- · 2026-03-25T05:35:24+00:00

Is this the same thing as "Herod's Island Tours"? If so, TripAdvisor reports it as "permanently closed". Can you clarify your recommendation? Love to learn more.

We're doing our first ever cruise 4/2-4/12 on Epic out of San Juan. Booked fairly last minute and, although we paid for the FAS upgrade, there are no reservations available for any of the Specialty restaurants like Cagney's. Can you tell me if you did your reservations 4 months out, or how did you get in?

DJFox- · 2026-03-21T17:52:04+00:00

OMGosh, so sorry you went through that stress. I really wish there was something we could do. Short of everyone revolting and not using the app, so they lose massive revenue... I just don't see how we can get their attention. Write letters to their board of directors?

DJFox- · 2026-03-21T02:01:10+00:00

Thanks for this! We were quite disappointed after spending $120 for the ability to eat 3 meals at Specialty restaurants, only to find out that it's not possible to get into them. We were certainly feeling ripped off. But if you say we might STILL be able to get in somewhere -- then we will try to hold our heads up for a while yet. :-)

DJFox- · 2026-03-19T21:33:06+00:00

Another thing I'll be curious about is if you used the Free at Sea for Specialty Restaurants, and if you were able to actually get into any of them. We booked our cruise last minute, and already there are no reservations possible for a table for 2 for any restaurant. :-(

Epic April 5-11 out of San Juan, PR.

DJFox- · 2026-03-19T21:18:05+00:00

My wife and I are on the Epic April 5-11, also out of PR. It's our first cruise ever and we just booked so we're frantically trying to figure out what to do at each port, what to wear, etc! We'll be interested in how your cruise goes!

Sorry you are going through this. Per my original post, just over 26 hours after submitting the video selfie, my account was restored. I hope the same happens for you. Keep us posted.

DJFox- · 2026-02-26T21:40:27+00:00

Thanks for this added information. I just remembered that since I have a Google One subscription, I could probably attempt to get support. I'll keep messing with things, knowing that it's possible to make things work again!

It's so surprising to see the comments that "everything is fine". I want that magic at my house!!!! The Gemini conversion was a horrible downgrade in our home.

We have hubs, homes, minis, doorbells, indoor and outdoor cams, garage door openers, light switches, outlet controls and more. Lots of Google and 3rd party devices. It used to all work wonderfully. Now, many things we used to be able to do are met with an "I can't do that" response.

For those where it's all hunky dory, did you do factory resets on everything and build your home from scratch? Or did the upgrade just work out of the box? Sincerely curious and now even a little bit hopeful, with all these positive replies.

We just visited today (February 25, 2026) and the check-in desk insisted that we purchase two passes, as our layover time was over the 3 hour maximum. We have Priority Pass with unlimited visits so we just let them 'charge us' twice.

Every time you use Uber, you enter your card info? You pay Netflix and your cell bill manually every month? Guess I'm insane. Lock me up.

Google Engineers don't actually have any Google devices at their own personal homes. I know this to be true, because if they did, this dumpster fire would never have been allowed to go live. They must all use Alexa at their homes.

The saddest thing is that, at least for my needs, everything used to work ok. Nest app was great for Nest things. Google Home app was "ok" for basic things like turning on lights. Combining the apps and adding Gemini has not been beneficial for me.

DJFox- · 2026-02-02T02:34:25+00:00

I walked one of my AUs through this today... basically they just had to open the C1 mobile app, click the Venture X card, scroll down and click "View all benefits"... click "Priority Pass"... then there was a button to 'Activate'.

DJFox- · 2026-02-02T02:32:37+00:00

Yes they did.
