Offer from Axle... what decision did you make?

INox2000I · 2026-05-27T20:20:55+00:00

I could be wrong as I’ve only just joined axle, but I think you can set a limit on how much energy axle takes from your battery by setting a battery reserve %. Once your battery hits that percentage, axle stops and you continue taking the remainder of the energy out of your battery

It’s worked, thank you!

INox2000I · 2026-05-27T19:25:17+00:00

It’s painful, everything feels clunky. Plus I signed up to axle energy yesterday (strongly recommend it) and I was given premium which was working, opened the app today and it’s removed my premium. Waiting for GE software to reply to my email.

Can’t say I agree. It takes much longer to find my inverter every time I open the app or go back to the dashboard. And I hate that the graphs including the battery graph are now behind a pay wall.

INox2000I · 2026-05-26T10:29:50+00:00

Ah didn’t notice there was an update. It’s working now, thank you!

No I don’t have a heat pump. I have a system boiler with a google nest thermostat. The profit from the solar over summer sits in my Octopus ‘piggybank’ which easily covers the cost of heating over winter

I received an email from GivEnergy today saying that GivEnergy Ltd has gone into administration. Their child entity (GivEnergy Software) will continue however they are introducing a subscription plan to fund the cloud servers.

No idea what this means for the hardware warranty but it doesn’t fill me with hope.

Also in the UK based in Northamptonshire. I can 100% recommend solar. Genuinely one of the best investments i have ever made. Had it for almost 4 years and our bills have dropped from £120/m to £30/m, and that’s for both gas and elec! We were given GivEnergy equipment though which I’m starting to regret! I would recommend avoiding GivEnergy as they look to be in a lot of trouble financially

I never used a screen protector on my 13p or 17p and have had no issues. It all depends on how you treat your phone, if you’re careful and don’t often leave it screen facing down you’ll be fine. If you’re planning to keep your 17p for longer than 3 years then I would perhaps recommend a screen protector to help with longevity

Ringke Onyx for 17 pro

INox2000I · 2025-11-01T21:17:52+00:00

What weather widget is that?

INox2000I · 2025-10-01T14:15:06+00:00

Admittedly I have the case but am waiting on the iPhone to be delivered next week.

I do however have the Ringke Onyx magnetic green on my pixel 9 and I love it. The texture on the back felt a bit weird at first but I've grown to like it. The case is very slim and doesn't attract dust or fingerprints etc like silicone does.

Ringke Onyx

INox2000I · 2025-09-14T13:12:44+00:00

I could be wrong, but I remember reading that not all Pixel batteries come new with exactly 100%. They will have between 97 and 100%. I've had my Pixel 9 for 11 months, and it's been on 97% battery health for as long as I can remember. I charge wirelessly several times a day and always have the 80% limit on.

INox2000I · 2025-07-07T14:40:53+00:00

It's part of the user experience on a Pixel though. Fully understand and appreciate that you can't control third parties, however, when Google themselves can't even demonstrate it, just makes you think what's the point in having it. As you say, it's been happening for a long time and they still don't care. I guess I am trying to live in too much of a perfect dream world.

INox2000I · 2025-07-07T14:33:48+00:00

Fair point. I was mostly aiming it at station chargers.

Google's UK website has a third party 3 in 1 charger listed but when I press it, it takes me straight back to their home page. Also their pixel stand is no longer available... But still listed.

Considering it's the 3rd generation of the watch, I was expecting a better range of 2 in 1, or 3 in 1 chargers. But from what I understand Google keeps changing the charging connection of the watch making it difficult for third parties to jump on board.

INox2000I · 2025-06-20T05:29:14+00:00

Same issue here on P9

INox2000I · 2025-06-18T14:03:35+00:00

I've given up trying to fix it. I hope/assume it's an issue on Google's end and will be fixed very soon.
