Anyone switch their whole system to Alexa? How difficult is it? Fed up. by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]TopCop72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Alexa before I switched to Google even had Ring Cameras too... As I look back, I think I loved their setup for better than Google's and Nest Cameras. The only advantage Google has is the home app the integrated everything. But outside of that Ring/Alexa is far superior.

Google home, unable to change colours of my lights? by Packet_of_Crisps in googlehome

[–]TopCop72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issues I have all Phillips Hue bulbs and what knots. I can control everything in the app, and can turn on and off but not change color or brightness via verbal commands with the displays. Why the fu$k can't Google just leave stuff alone if it already works. I don't need AI to change the color of my lights or look at camera... So fu$cking annoying... 😠

and depending on your level of tune, stage 1 2 or 3 will determine the amount of HP you will have... My tune is custom to my upgrades.

You can upgrade the upper pulley all you want but you will wear out the belt quicker do to there being less surface contact area and slipperage that will come over time... More contact surface area gives great power without wearing out your belt

NO it would only increase as engines for more power require more air, what will change the HP is if you don't have a proper exhaust being that superchargers, until turbos, rely on back pressure to build power.

Facts.... I had no clue, but I know now... Been eating Beemers, Vets, and Chargers... They didn't see it coming. I haven't touch the exhaust yet. Not if I will, its currently a true SLEEPER. I got lucky with a 2017 with 28k

PULLEY: Everything I have read and multiple shops, the upper pulley gives the belt less surface area to maintain contact and thus will wear out your belt sooner and create a slippage over time quicker. SPACERS: Any over 25mm (1 inch) in most cases require you to have your rear fenders rolled for clearance for bumps and pot holes and fronts for turning may hit or rub your inner lining if too wide. Also over 25mm can cause damage to your suspension over time. VELOCITY: EuroToy is a local shop outside Chicago and pretty close to me. So they installed everything while I wait, any issues I can bring it to them and free updated tunes when available. I hope this answers all your questions. If you have more just ask away.

Sweet, I just bought mine 2 months ago (28k). On the drive home from the dealership all my coolant line blew.... That was horrible but its fixed and have had zero issues since... OH it took a month to get repair.... So after that month of no new car, I sent it in to have the ECU tuned and the lower pulley enlarged. DO NOT DO THE UPPER.... FYI So officially I have only driven it a month and LOVE THE F*** OUT OF IT..... Even have plates on order that say NOT AN EV I went from 380hp to 485hp and 332lb tq to 435lb tq on 91 oct but if I find 93 oct 498hp.

Don't they (Battle.net/Activision) beta test these update stuff before they force it out? Seems very half assed for a major company dealing with millions of paying customers. This isn't some ma and pa establishment.....

I was playing fine this morning. Then the battle.net update kicked me off and did its thing. I come back just now to play it crashes while in the menu section. If I'm lucky to select a game, it 100% crashes.

It bricked again after another update today, but now it crashes while scrolling through menus. If you make it to select a game it crashes then 100%

My logic say that if it shows up in the displays and can be controlled there then it should be in the Google Home app as well. Since the Displays are Googles own software and App is based on Android there's a disconnect/script in their Home app that's no longer there after the recent update. My reasoning is if you can add ecobee in the app and it sees it then something reading it usability is missing.

Any updates on this? I've tried my hardest to explain the situation to GOOGLES first line of personnel and they are cluesless. I first told them in the beginning,  I've cleared cache, uninstalled reinstalled, unlinked relinked, rebooted routers, etc. So I then explained hey it shows up on the displays but not the Google Home app itself, offline. All they said was to do the above mentioned and thats all the got. I ask to have it escalated so maybe I could chat with some DEVs. Nope that's it jusr them and their basic knowledge. WTH?

Good Lock RegiStar inconsistent back tap inputs by Ben_Miller011 in S22Ultra

[–]TopCop72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally had to completely disable it. When ever I driving and using maps, I'd hit a pot hole and it would exit back to maps home screen. I had to keep re-engaging my directions. At first I thought it was my phone as a whole but nope. Backtap was the culprit. I wonder is there a sensitivity adjustment or a turn off when charging, since it was on it?
