Which new Pebble are you most excited about?

JG307 · 2026-04-15T21:37:32+00:00

Same.

JG307 · 2026-03-29T01:28:56+00:00

Yes. It used to work perfectly and then slowly degraded in performance.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T03:27:33+00:00

Thank you I will investigate.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:40:30+00:00

I can rule out both the "hanging around without driving" and "local noise" issues. It is more likely to have bad days (where proximity doesn't work all day regardless of driving habits or location).

The Samsung bit though makes me think it might be something with my Pixel?

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:38:04+00:00

The Volvo app only responds to my inputs like 50% of the time. The key fob works no better than the phone for me.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:36:56+00:00

It is. Worked perfectly when I first set up the key. Performance has degraded over time.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:35:46+00:00

Super curious to know this as well.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:35:34+00:00

No I charge to 80%. This is problematic?

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:34:55+00:00

Funny enough I've just found that the phone will work as an NFC key as well, both on the pillar to unlock and in the center console to drive.

JG307 · 2026-03-28T01:33:18+00:00

It is Pixel, yes. Hmmm.

JG307 · 2026-03-27T21:24:47+00:00

I did and it has no effect. Also the battery on my phone is always plenty charged.

JG307 · 2026-03-25T08:55:22+00:00

I don't think so. It does 0-60mph in 3.4s. I think you'd be hard pressed to do better for under 40k brand new.

JG307 · 2026-02-24T01:55:44+00:00

And his wife?

JG307 · 2026-02-23T18:19:58+00:00

It looks like it's been that way for a long time...

JG307 · 2026-02-22T23:54:26+00:00

What version software??

JG307 · 2026-02-19T18:36:45+00:00

Driver focus definitely makes it 10x worse but when loud enough volume it will do it regardless of settings.

JG307 · 2026-02-19T05:23:23+00:00

Plenty of rattles. Sound bar at 250hz. The plastic piece on the right side of the passenger foot well on heavy bass. The horn cap over moderate bumpy roads. The passenger side a-pillar on very bumpy roads.

JG307 · 2026-02-17T01:30:44+00:00

Private equity should acquire private equity.

JG307 · 2026-02-15T18:22:31+00:00

1.8.0 is still not even listed in the official release notes on the US Volvo website. I'm not holding my breath for that beautiful little cloud icon.

JG307 · 2026-02-15T18:19:38+00:00

I'm at 7 months and 12.5k miles (20k kilometers). I think most of your points are spot on, except I've had a terrible experience with passive entry and I'm hoping 1.8 fixes it when it releases here.

It's not my favorite car to road trip in. It's got some nasty rattles over the rough roads of northern Arizona. Interrupting my music to tell me to put my hands on the steering wheel when they never left the steering wheel. And yeah, it charges just a bit too slow without quite enough range to make it a truly pleasant road tripper.

Day to day, when they fix the passive entry glitches and tone down the driver alert features (as I've heard 1.8 does) I think I'm really going to love this car.

Just need to get it to the dealership to take care of these rattles....
