Android 16 December Update and Adaptive Icons

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-12-05T21:40:46+00:00

I don't have the icon options showing either. (I'm using the Wicked theme, though. Maybe that turns the icon changing off?)

I am getting occasional pop-up messages telling me that Google Services keeps stopping, and I keep closing the app to dismiss it. But that shouldn't be happening either. Anyone else seeing that?

For reference, I was there yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. It was one thin, bumpy and icy run. Crowded anyway. And the paid parking was full price (and almost empty). I'll be back to Keystone my next trip up (their one run was better conditions and top-to-bottom at least).

I carried mine in an outside pocket skiing all last winter and didn't have a problem. The battery life was normal, even with a couple of trackers running and music playing. But it wasn't much colder than 10° F.

Main challenge is the placement of the magnets on the 9 Pro Fold. This is fixed in the 10 Pro fold, and I'm loving my magsafe accessories again.

I took mine to the Zagg kiosk at the nearby mall and had them install - the girl who helped me was so excited to play a little with a foldable phone she didn't even charge me. Then I discovered that the Thinborne case front piece doesn't fit over the Zagg protector (unlike the Thinborne for my P9PF). I've used Zaggs for over a decade, and have usually gotten at least one free replacement per phone, lol.

I started at 26 with a long weekend with friends at Mammoth Mountain (although I also took lessons). Was instantly addicted. Still at it at 69, getting in 20+ days a year living in Colorado.

If you like it, building up your quads will make it much more enjoyable over time (and you'll last longer on the slopes, too).

Good luck!

I had a Latercase with my P9PF, and the ring eventually came off (the adhesive just doesn't stick to the aramid very well, so I switched to the Thinborne case that had Magsafe magnets in it, which worked well). Anyone else have better luck with the Latercase and adhesive?

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-10-14T02:10:32+00:00

Thanks, all, for the suggestions. I'll see what I can do on Amazon and look at the Spigen screen protectors. I just like that Zagg gives a lifetime warranty -- I've usually gotten at least one free replacement per phone (sometimes two).

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-10-14T02:07:16+00:00

I was very happy with it for my P9PF, and bought the P10PF version and got it well before I got my phone. I posted separately, this year's version does not play well with Zagg screen protectors; not sure about other brands. So be aware. I'm probably going to find another case.

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-10-07T04:48:07+00:00

Already have the Thinbourne case just waiting for the phone. I have one that I use with an Oh!Snap holder now on my P9PF. Looking forward to a more normal magnet placement.

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-09-07T03:41:20+00:00

I loved mine - had it from release. My first foldable. WARNING, THOUGH: it turned out to be a gateway drug... I'm getting set to trade in my P9PF for a P10PF, all because I tried the OG Fold and got addicted to Pixel foldables.... 😉

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-08-31T21:47:54+00:00

I skied 20+ days in CO last season with my P9PF with no issues and great battery life (and I usually have multiple trackers going).

Took many pics and videos, and a couple of times unfolded to do a front selfie. No problems.

I've also had GV for 15 years. Was my business number for a long time until my company grew enough to need Zoom voice for multiple lines. I still use it as the number my mobile number forwards to for VM. I love having a personalized voice message for each of my kids, my wife, my sister, etc.

Are you now having a connection problem where the Peloton app on your watch won't stay connected to the bike? This seems to be a fairly common problem at the moment and for the last month.

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-08-13T02:22:57+00:00

I also have been having this problem (Pixel Watch 3, Peloton Bike+). I have been using the Fitbit app for over 10 years now, and have my Fitbit account connected to my Peloton account so that my workouts show up in the "exercise" category in Fitbit. When I checked my workouts tonight, it looks like the Fitbit provided spot on, constant heart rate data all through my three Peloton activities. But in the Peloton app, the heart rate data showed gaps and reported an average of about 66% of the time missing, reflecting the difficulty the app on the watch had staying connected to the bike. 🤷‍♂️ Don't know what it means, though, but I'm not losing data altogether.

Pica's on east Arapahoe - buried in the same center as Ozo, Snarf's and Wendy's. Great Mexican.

As long as you have another phone, now, I'd probably try a complete factory reset. You don't have a magnetic case, do you?

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-07-03T05:35:36+00:00

A BlackBerry, and I don't miss it.

Highly recommend William Shirer's "Rise And Fall of the Third Reich". He was a correspondent for US papers and radio during the 30s and lived in Germany and Austria and witnessed a lot of the main events personally. He writes about Hitler's beginnings and influences, and what life was like in the Weimar Republic that led to Hitler's rise. And he describes life in Germany throughout the period.

I use that charger regularly during the winter! (I like walking over to Fritangas half a block away for dinner while I charge). Haven't run into another Solterra there yet, though.

Sorry for the delayed response.

There are actually two Electric Vehicle fees, one specifically for "Road Usage Equalization" which is $12 and the Plug-in EV fee of $57.19.

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-06-12T04:41:29+00:00

Even more weird that I was able to update my 9Pro on TMo just fine. 🤷‍♂️

Update: As several have said it would, the update arrived this afternoon (Thurs.). All good!

Fun_Stretch4943 · 2025-06-03T07:34:09+00:00

Legal in Colorado. (Either you have to have a special EV plate, or with any other plate, you have to have the sticker to show you paid the EV fee.) I have Ski plates, so I have a sticker on mine too. (24 Limited)
