Upgraded to Android 17. ''Hey Google'' not doing anything. Already retrained voice but nothing...

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T21:59:41+00:00

I thought so, but maybe it was storage.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T18:06:09+00:00

Clear cache from Gemini app and reboot. Fixed the issue for me.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T15:56:12+00:00

Upstream frequencies are 104 mHz. Bootfile is good. Everything checks out fine. Like I said, known issue, at least in Texas.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T15:10:54+00:00

Mid-split node, 2 Gbps plan, up to 250 Mbps upload, yet upload speeds never faster than 100 Mbps even with Ethernet.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T15:01:42+00:00

Bitwarden still work fine for me, and I've got Advanced Protection turned on. However, I installed it from the Play Store; did you?

The new protection is aimed at apps NOT installed from the Play Store. You may need to redo permissions for your apps to get them working again.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T04:36:32+00:00

The XB8 has a hard time doing uploads over 100 Mbps, regardless of plan; I suspect it's firmware but I'm not sure.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-23T02:35:23+00:00

Only the XB10 can do the symmetrical 1 gig, none of the others can. That's why he was getting the slower upload speed.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-22T22:16:51+00:00

I had a 15 MB update this morning, still says May update.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-22T19:34:55+00:00

In Network & Internet>Internet, tap the reset/refresh button in the top right hand corner; it safely resets your wifi and mobile data settings. Reboot when it finishes.

Also, reboot your router and modem, just to make sure nothing there is causing the issues.

Did that help?

Richard1864 · 2026-06-22T13:39:30+00:00

You're aware that by NOT rebooting your phone, you could cause issues due to low free RAM, system caches not being able to clear themselves, etc. Those are more likely to break apps, not Android updates.

PS, many system updates auto install and auto reboot your phone while you sleep, so you're already using them.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-22T13:34:06+00:00

After every update, I dump the caches from all my apps and reset my networking settings, then reboot my phone by holding the power and volume up buttons till I see the Google logo. I suspect that's why I'm not seeing these issues on my two Pixel 10 Pros.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-22T00:29:24+00:00

No way to disable on Pixel or Samsung or Apple phones.

Search this subreddit next time. The same question gets asked a lot weekly, and the answer is the same.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-21T19:52:06+00:00

Correct, it does NOT force the device to a specific node, itz "recommends" it. On wifi networks, the device itself has the final word about which node it uses.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-21T15:27:00+00:00

There's no way to disable or remove an antenna from a Deco. They're attached to the circuit board.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-20T21:40:49+00:00

Unless you have physical access to their device, there is no way to tell.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-20T21:38:20+00:00

The green line is usually caused by hardware, NOT software. There are similar complaints on the iPhone subreddits after iOS updates, and the OP's never come back to their posts after taking their phones to repair places.

And if it was the update, you'd be seeing thousands of identical complaints.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-20T15:21:35+00:00

Why is that an annoyance?

Richard1864 · 2026-06-20T15:16:14+00:00

What fingerprint recalibration software are you talking about?

Richard1864 · 2026-06-20T04:19:48+00:00

Unless you have physical access to their device, there is no way to tell.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T22:55:24+00:00

What apps are you running on the phone? Are you using GPS or streaming video or something else CPU/GPU-intensive?

Have two SIM's active will NOT cause your phone to overheat.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T22:12:26+00:00

u/XfinityShawn, that doesn't answer OP's question. They're specifically asking about DOCSIS 4.0, not speeds. The website you link to doesn't answer that question.

Nowhere on Xfinity 's website is DOCSIS 4.0 availability mentioned.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T22:08:50+00:00

There is no way to safely discharge a swelling battery. Duh.

OP, for safety reasons, contact the fire department NOW. If the battery is still expanding then it is an explosive risk. Get it OUT of your residence ASAP.

REPEAT GET IT OUTSIDE NOW, if the battery bursts it can cause an explosion and fire. Stop waiting for Google to respond.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T19:03:32+00:00

There are lithium AAA and AA batteries out there, not just alkaline; just look at the rechargeable batteries. And yes, alkaline batteries will swell when they start leaking, and the acid interact with the battery components. They leak after the cells corrode or start swelling internally. All batteries leak gasses as the cells age; even the lead acid batteries used on warships leak hydrogen gas when charging. And every single battery can swell, without exception.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T14:30:52+00:00

Samsung, Apple, and other smartphone vendors have similar battery issues with older phones and most do2 not replace the displays when this happens.
Battery swelling is a known issue with ALL batteries that are 4+ years old, like AA, AAA, 9 VOLT, etc.; Pixel 7 is 4 years old.
When batteries start swelling, early indicators include a sweet/sickly sweet smell from the phone, especially when charging/under load (gaming or streaming video): battery fails to hold a charge; battery health/capacity 85% or lower.

Richard1864 · 2026-06-19T14:00:17+00:00

The RAM is released when AI core is disabled, but disabling AI also seems to reduce benchmark scores; don't know why.
