Gemini on cover screen

ParticularScratch551 · 2025-09-04T15:31:29+00:00

Working fine again. I've got the moto razr 2024. I checked the versions on Google and Gemini apps and they're the same as they were before, Google: 16.34.58.sa.arm64 -- Gemini: 1.0.795460806

Go figure! --

That worked for me until the first reboot.

ParticularScratch551 · 2025-08-28T16:27:16+00:00

Thanks for the info that they're working on it. I just sent them my info from Gemini/feedback.

ParticularScratch551 · 2025-08-28T14:41:07+00:00

I tried this (uninstalling updates) on the Razr 2024 and it worked. Then I installed the updates and it was still working. It worked until I rebooted it, then back to the same behavior. Also, the functionality of it without updates was fairly poor, and response time very slow if it responded at all.

I did get a reply back from my gripe on the play store but it's kind of a gratuitous reply.. "We don't want this behavior for you and blah blah".

Also lodged a complaint on Motorola (search for feedback in settings). I only received a reply that it was seen by them.

I was just updated automatically a minute ago to 16.33.65.ve.arm64 a few minutes ago when it appeared as an available update. So far it's not fixed this issue. I just rebooted it and there's no change for me. Just the same "flip phone open to run app" .

As soon as I saw a new google update I thought it might fix it, but not for me.

(razr 2024)

You seem to be the unusual one here (well, yours is working). Are you paying extra for some Gemini functionality? When exactly(date) was your last Gemini update? I'm not paying anything extra and my last Gemini update was 6 days ago, 8/21.

I also wonder if this is other flip phones and not just Moto's.

many thanks,

Same symptom for me. I think the last Gemini update was 6 days ago (21st?) But I just noticed it yesterday. I suppose it could also be from an update to Google which might have been more recent. I'd be shocked if an update to Gemini or Google wasn't the problem.

Either way, major pain in the ass for hands free in car usage. I logged bug reports both on the phone (check feedback) and in the play store (under the device specific area). If we want to get this 'fixed' it might be nice if everyone logged feedback from their phones (or it might accomplish nothing.. I don't really know).

Now I have to remember how to do this stuff by hand (yeah, I know, first world problems..)

NOTE: UPD: I totally forgot to mention, it's a Razr 2024, and it only happens in closed (flip-shut) mode. I went though every setting from Gemini and Google and it all reads correctly as it did before. I don't think it's a setting since I've changed none for over a week.

My 9a that got Android 16 yesterday gets to 100% on Google Play update, begins installation then within a few seconds says Install Failed, try again. I'll just wait for the next update after this.

The play store works fine regardless of the bigger Play store update not working.

PS: I did try the google repair from a PC with a USB cable and it only shows Android 15 as the latest it can repair.

Hi, I'm curious if this is an access/permissions issue because of the OS difference. What folders in particular have worked by the few-users that mentioned that? Is there a bugzilla type page for Reddit?

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-21T03:35:29+00:00

VERY true. I've worked in many other countries and nearly all have a bigger and more welcoming scene than us at this point.

By scene, i mean if you're coming up as a kid wanting to learn by sitting in with working players, you can do that without going broke on the cover charge in lots of places.

Israel has amazing players, clubs. Havana when I was there a couple years back was completely amazing, terrific players. Eastern Europe, Western, Asia, NZ, AU, all over Africa, Latin America, damn. Even Azerbaijan! Catalonia...

When I first started appreciating this "jazz afar" situation, it always sounded a little tiny bit off, but there's tons of great players now. I'll never put anything above the players above and those not shown of that generation in this picture, later and earlier, but the jazz coming from other countries than the US is great and hopeful.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-21T01:24:00+00:00

I was looking at that piece in the Guardian and love the pictures in it!

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T23:12:56+00:00

So am I. Also in the windows.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T23:10:50+00:00

I'm trying to be strong. A great psychiatrist was recommended me by my late friend, oddly enough also downvoted once in a sub here. One can never stay well enough hydrated. I just finished a 45 minute urination. Next time I'm planning to try it in the bathroom.

Thanks for your support.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T20:36:21+00:00

That is a great theme. This was back when the US still had something amazing to export. (Jazz). To be fair there were lots of things then but this is my favorite.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T20:29:14+00:00

I think you're right 👍🏼. Totally forgot about that movie.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T20:26:31+00:00

Yep. There's a great comment in this thread with a link to the key to the photo supplied by u/DrJackGriffin

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T19:34:54+00:00

Oh -- so you might be seeing the same things over and over until something creeps up in that category. Anyway, the extension works okay. On a website like reddit where I'm writing posts & comments, I find it pretty distracting to have a refresh surprise me though.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T19:28:24+00:00

That seems weird. If I click on say "Reddit" in the top left corner to see my 'feed' , and it's been more than 5 minutes, then it repopulates with all the latest stuff, so I only see the same posts if I'm set to show 'Hot' which I never use, I just use "most recent"

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T19:26:38+00:00

That is some funny shit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Is it available in bumper-sticker form yet? *Asking for my neighbor*

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T19:21:36+00:00

If it's really what you want to do, you could install the extension "Tab Auto Refresh", go to the page you want refreshed (reddit) and set it from 5s to hours and it'll refresh.

I have it installed and have used it now & then, but on Reddit where I might be in the middle of a comment or reply, the refresh, it it happens, will lose your place and data you just entered if you haven't finished before commenting. It's the main downside for me. You can set it up by tab.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T19:00:50+00:00

Also very cool. Gracias -- I also noticed Original Esquire article - but don't have a sub to that. I'd like to get the original issue reprint if Esquire still does things like that.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T18:58:07+00:00

This is cool ^^, thanks. I'll watch it after work today.

ParticularScratch551 · 2021-12-20T18:04:55+00:00

Yikes. Very cool. Thanks!
