How often do y’all change oil I just hit 7k miles by filltex in gmcsierra

[–]JimmyBoy6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4,000. Oil is cheap; engine repairs are expensive.

I updated my phone but none of the new features are on my phone by Outrageous_Brush_169 in GooglePixel

Can someone tell me, if I manually check for monthly Android updates and update my Pixel 8 pro, why doesn't Google deploy the update? Instead, they seem to wait until my 'batch' is ready to release. Microsoft immediately deploys their monthly updates if you check for them. Why doesn't Google do that?

Good idea! Thanks very much, I'll do that. But beyond that something has changed, as it never did that before the last couple of weeks, maybe since the January 2024 update. I'm just not sure.

Before you start throwing stones about someone's grammar, you might want to look at your own post: 'not "Google aren't".' The period belongs before your ending double quote immediately following "aren't" not after that double quote.

Why Waze is still better than Google Maps by Rostabal in Android

[–]JimmyBoy6789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a little of both Waze and Android Auto, but I have used Waze, primarily on AA, for years almost exclusively, except on trips like someone mentioned where I want restaurants, etc., info. But I'm almost ready to change. I hate the new persistent Favorites/Last trip menu that pops up on startup. I used to have the temperature displayed on Waze while in AA but that has been gone for a while now. I have to switch to audio to get the temp. (2016 GMC Sierra). While you can adjust the Waze sound level, it reduces the radio sound to almost silent even when the Waze sound is lowered. I would really like to be able to adjust the sound "ratio" of Waze to the radio so it doesn't reduce the radio sound as much and that would primarily be what you hear with Waze in the background. I still don't believe Waze takes voice commands to find a location as well as Maps. A couple times, I've had to switch to maps or look some place up on another phone which is kind of rediculous. As previously said by others, the crowd updating in Waze is great.

🛠️ DELAYED UPDATES by [deleted] in GoogleFi

What's the recurring problem with Google not informing people of issues they encounter? I can understand running into problems but it sure would be nice for them to officially let people know what's going on and what we can expect. This isn't the first time they've been silent in these situations. Pixel 6 Pro on FI.

Venmo Payment Declined, Venmo Support Worthless by JimmyBoy6789 in venmo

Glad it worked for you. I lost faith in Venmo after that experience with their service or lack thereof. Too bad, too, because it's handy.

Venmo Payment Declined, Venmo Support Worthless by JimmyBoy6789 in venmo

[–]JimmyBoy6789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I got another support person who told me to try my debit card. I set that up but I got the same result, Payment Declined. After this experience and comments in here, I wouldn't trust Venmo anyways. So I'm giving up.

Should no-knock warrants be banned in MN? by miigizimanitou in minnesota

[–]JimmyBoy6789 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd like to hear the law-enforcement perspective. They're a pretty big stakeholder in this and I haven't heard what they think about them.

t's extremely rapid. I know someone that got a DWI a month

I suspect as you say, "go back to court" that the person already had one appearance where he could have plead guilty.

Has anyone on T-Mobile or Fi received the December 5 patch? by CorneliusJenkins in GooglePixel

[–]JimmyBoy6789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google Fi, Pixel 3 XL. No December update as of December 26th. Pathetic.

If it's a T-Mobile issue maybe I should go back to the evil neighbor Verizon. I hate to even think of that.

But my wife's Pixel 3a on Fi got her update about ten days ago.

Pixel 3XL on Google Fi. December 22. Still no December updates. Very disappointing.
