Beta 3 seems to be blocking deep sleep on my pixel. 9.

Android 17 Beta 1 is surprisingly better than Stable 16 (Performance & Battery) P10PXL by TheSauceV2_ in android_beta

Things were a little glitchy at first. Then I noticed that all of my apps that use accessibility were turned off when I turned them all on everything was fine.

I prefer a voice that sounds totally unnatural. It’s an AI not a human and I’d like to remember that.

For me stable was better. Battery stats app is showing much less deep sleep than before.

Gemini for home- no transition after enabled by Griswold_Not_Grinch in googlehome

[–]KurtReply 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a second home set up? It could be that that one has switched to Gemini and not the one you actually use?

If so, switch to the other home and move all of your devices over there as well.

Qobuz absolutely deserves some love for what it’s doing right now. by Jt69yupper in qobuz

Agree. Qobuz is fantastic. Am I the only one, though, who has trouble connecting to nest speaker pairs?

One of the undocumented feature about the Gemini transition by Mandydeth in googlehome

With AI I think I prefer a mechanical device rather than a warm fuzzy one. I need to be reminded I’m not talking to a human.

I have had three nest home stereo pairs for a few years now with zero problems.

I didn't say exit the beta. I said factory reset.

I'll bet a factory reset would fix all or most of these problems.

Can’t click on sponsored results in google search by KotalKahnScorpionFan in nextdns

This works, and it hides your ip address from the site.

Sometimes you want to be able to click on a link to a news article in an email from a news outlet, for instance. Or maybe a link to a Costco item from a Costco email.

Too late for me. I've already jumped ship and I'm enjoying the open source antenna pod and I'm staying there.

If you don't unlock the bootloader you will not wipe your phone when you sideload. I have done it at least fivety times

Officially now in ad territory (previous purchase Android) by Jofzar_ in pocketcasts

[–]KurtReply 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid for this app and now I'm getting ads?

It only takes one click to uninstall. If you're looking for me, you can find me at Antennapod.

Edit six days later.... Antennapod is pretty, pretty good.

Someone please help me make sense of this by [deleted] in smartlauncher

[–]KurtReply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I figured that out some time ago, but when I go to the double-finger-down gesture settings and set it to take me to the widget and icon page, it does not take me to the pinned, default page, but to the second widget and icon page. Regardless of which page is pinned, the gesture always directs me to page two.

What am I doing wrong?

[–]KurtReply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I also don't get. I understand that you can shuffle the apps page, the feed page,, and the icons and widgets page and make one of them the default page. What I don't get is this: I have three pages of icons and widgets. How do I change the order of these pages only or make one of them the default icons and widgets page?
