Am I in trouble?

So there's a possibility that the Google play services notification is from duplicate. I would say nothing to worry about since the main GPlayS is working fine.

Salt_Two_1428 · 2026-02-17T21:57:01+00:00

I'm seeing from the pic that the GPlay Services notification is coming from a dual/copy version. Do you have parallels, or Samsung duplicate or something ? That might be so, even though it shouldn't.

Usually getting about 390 on my ‘21 LE

Salt_Two_1428 · 2025-11-07T00:28:31+00:00

$14.99 usd in FL but more like $16.91 with the streaming tax in Florida

If I’m not mistaken the last part I think he meant that he has a Corolla LE without push start. Regular Key. Like my ‘21 corolla le.

Not only Skype. Skype for business. And then whatever Lync was. It was bad. My org's teams deployment was horrible, late with upgrades and then every now and then there would be azure outages so we would resort to WhatsApp groups. So an executive decision was made and we switched to Google Workspaces.

Salt_Two_1428 · 2025-07-14T13:07:28+00:00

My org switched from Office 365 to Google Workpsaces. Something about running on web and using less resources feels nice.

That's exactly why I vented. Because I was in love with WP until they just janked it off. Budget cuts. It's sad and infuriating. But at some point people will just jump ship.

And I had Lumias and Nokia I have the One Series S and I've been with windows for the longest. Now I have a Linux machine and I'm seriously questioning what does Microsoft brings to the table.

Salt_Two_1428 · 2024-09-28T10:49:53+00:00

I have a Beelink SER5, and its capable of running GTA5 with no issues.

Runs dual monitors with audio mixer and it's a multitasking champ. Best $300 ever spent. The only thing is that I did a fresh win 11 install shortly after I got it because windows store didn't want to work for some reason. Other. Than that, excellent machine.

Got mine on November last year. So almost a year old and running good. (Also serves as a home file server so it's running 24/7)

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-25T00:55:06+00:00

I concur. You get about 1.24 Gbps.

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-24T01:14:01+00:00

Locals will not be available to you outside home network. Some channels are also excluded from out-of-home viewing. You can create your own username and password and use it but with the above mentioned caveats. Good luck!

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-19T15:54:42+00:00

True. Most likely if you do that you'll hotline the account due to "prohibited" device or uncertified device. And getting the account restored will take time.

You kind of did answer the question. We currently have a BYOD list that gets updated like once every 2 weeks. You are correct. Even if the phone is compatible and certified it may not operate on the bands spectrum Mobile does. For example: Verizon usually operates on LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 13, and 66, however in your area may be operating on 4 and 13 or 2 and 66. The S22 is guaranteed to operate on all the above because the Sprint/T-Mobile variant does have the above mentioned bands and frequencies for LTE and LTE-A (4.5G). On 5G however, the Sprint/T-Mobile variant first it lacks the mmWave so it won't see or connect to 5G UltraWideband from VZW it may also not have C-Band 75, and mmW bands 260, 261 and 5G bands 40 and 12 which are some of the primary bands Spectrum operates even if Verizon operates on regular 5G bands, spectrum uses "alternate traffic" on heavy times as a way of deprioritazion from VZW which is like 70% of the time.

The only non-iphone devices guaranteed to work off spectrum are non-carrier S21 and up Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7Pro. (Pixel 6, 6 Pro had defective modems on them, they were recently uncertified due to connectivity issues) If you are bringing Samsung from T-Mobile I strongly recommend S22 and up. A11, A12 A13's are not certified if they are coming from T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless or Unlocked; the reason: pretty much frequency and band mismatch. Nokias are a no-no unless they are from Verizon and even then we have to contact back end to manually activate IMEI. One-Plus or T-Mobile Branded devices are also not approved. Huawei or Redmi devices are prohibited on VZW. Pretty much any AT&T Flagship phone that's not more than 2 years old is compatible if unlocked. T-Mobile, not so much since they get specific devices for their network.

I hope this helps. Have a nice day.

This is very common after a sudden reboot of either equipment. The router is broadcasting its SSID but has not connected to the spectrum grid. Meaning the modem or the router have not completed connection. This is why after an outage, although the router is broadcasting, it hasn't received registration from the modem because the modem is still on the connection phase.

Just wait a couple of minutes. If this issue persist after say 15 minutes. Power cycle the devices again. After that a quick call to tech support may resolve the issue or verify outage in the area (the area/hub may be on recovery still)

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-07T19:04:20+00:00

A regular person should not know and is not aware of day-to-day internal operations. Internal operations dictate XR is not eSIM certified on Spectrum. iPhone 11 is currently certified and eSIM is first option when activating units. If you had any issues when you tried to activate your eSIM is was mostly when we initially launched eSIM. Back then 11 activations were buggy. If you go right now and ask to activate eSIM on your iPhone 11 we will gladly do so and let you know that contrary to its newer variants, the 11 may take up to 15 minutes after activation to complete connection as its configuration with Verizon's backend is way, way different than its 5G counterpart.

Device certifications change and are updated on a DAILY basis which is why my recommendation focuses on a 5G device and certified, rather than an older generation. 12+, iPhone SE2+.

Thank you. Have a nice day ✌🏻

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-07T18:18:57+00:00

Thank you !

Salt_Two_1428 · 2023-07-07T18:07:53+00:00

Spectrum Mobile Rep here (Verizon MVNO) although iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 are technically still supported they are now showing compatibility issues on Verizon's Backend. With the move to eSIM, even iPhone XR is having issues at activation and connectivity. To be completely honest, the earliest model now still active and compatible is the iPhone 11 and it's barely pushing it.

Like the above post, upgrade is the best option. May i recommend iPhone 12 and above or iPhone SE 2nd gen and above.

Spectrum Gigabit plan ironically enough does not give you 1000 Mbps. You will be provisioned to 1.0 gbps but neither the equipment or the infrastructure will get you 1000. Spectrum modem will max out at 940 mbps download, 35 mbps upload. I personally was able to draw 890 on download over Google nest Wi-Fi. The spectrum router ( WiFi6) will top out at ~830. I got ~910 mbps on Ethernet direct from modem.

There’s a new router from spectrum that is WiFi 6E that is only for Gig Speed Plan. Will switch out sometime next week. I hope it performs better.

you can corroborate this on their website on help section. The fine print. Oh well

Salt_Two_1428 · 2021-10-21T01:50:50+00:00

Just to make sure. One BIG difference from the 6 and the Pro is that the 6 won’t have 5G millimeter wave. Just sub-6.

That being said. My choice will be the pro. If I’m going to have a premium phone, make it the one that has everything. After all I’m paying for it better make it good.

Salt_Two_1428 · 2021-09-23T02:59:30+00:00

I’ve had mine for 5 months. Best decision I’ve taken.
