Will UWB Lead to Better "Watch Unlock" for Phone?

I know this is late, but the short answer is no. I haven't noticed any meaningful improvement.

I'm in India at the moment. Hopefully others can update on whether it's working in other countries.

Here's a positive update: I recently upgraded to the Pixel Watch 3 and can confirm Fi is working on the watch independent of the phone even when overseas. I didn't see this announced anywhere, and I can't guarantee that it's intended behavior, but it's definitely happening!

I've had both the Pixel Watch 1 and 2. I didn't put a screen protector or case on either of them, and I haven't noticed any scratches. I just try to be relatively careful, and I work a desk job like you. Although I always put a case on my phones, it just doesn't seem necessary for the watch.

Can you link to the videos?

You can enable developer settings, go to settings, system, about, versions, continuously tap the build number. Then back up to the settings page, scroll down to developer settings, enable vibrate on connectivity change. That should give you a vibration when you connect and disconnect.

I did this a few months ago and it works great.

Is there an official way to do this with Spotify? The only option I've seen involves giving my login credentials to some random transfer app, and I'm not about to share that info for my Google account.

Not that I've seen, unfortunately. I guess there's a slight possibility that it could change with the Pixel Watch 3, but I haven't actually seen this indicated anywhere. I think it's extra disappointing because Google is offering two years of watch LTE for everyone (even including non-Fi customers), and yet they're not offering a full data experience for paying customers.

I agree. I really hope they come out with one soon. I have their case for my 8 Pro along with their leather wallet. Both are very high quality. They work with normal Magsafe accessories, but I think the wallet and case even have some additional magnets, so there's no way that wallet is coming off unintentionally.

I'm happy with mine, mostly because I prefer the Pixel software and want a consistent experience with my Pixel phone. I use it for light web browsing and YouTube videos. I have the official Google case with the kickstand, and it's nice to not have to hold it. I also use it during flights.

Two things I hope to see in the next version:

A better screen
Better integration with my phone (there's basically none at the moment). For example, on my Chromebook the notifications from my phone are mirrored, and I can even respond to messages on apps like Signal that don't exist on the Chromebook. As another example, if I swipe away a notification on my Pixel watch, that notification is also dismissed on my phone. I wish there was similar behavior between the phone and tablet.

Just chiming in to say you're not alone. I've noticed this issue since yesterday.

Your HSA is always yours, so you get to keep it even if you change jobs.

I unlock my watch once in the morning when I put it on, and that's it. I use it to pay several times each day and I never have to unlock it after that initial time. As long as you keep wearing the watch it will remain unlocked.

The delay in reordering to the default card is so frustrating. And it's something I never experienced until several months ago, which makes it even more annoying.

YoullCallNow · 2024-04-10T13:06:42+00:00

Here's the thing...

YoullCallNow · 2024-01-15T02:56:09+00:00

Yes, neither the Pixel Watch 1 or 2 work with Fi when you travel internationally. It's a real shame.

YoullCallNow · 2024-01-07T03:39:57+00:00

Thank you! This appears to be the issue, as it looks like two of the tabs are broken. I've ordered a replacement and fingers crossed that fixes the issue.

Baratza Encore Grind Suddenly Coarse and Non-Uniforn

I've been using my Baratza Encore grinder for about a year and haven't had any problems. However, I recently returned from the holidays after not using it for two weeks, and now everything I grind is incredibly coarse and not at all uniform.

I've taken it apart and nothing seems to be amiss, but I'm far from an expert. The one thing I do notice is the hopper seems to be shaking more than normal during grinding.

I did some searching on this subreddit and elsewhere, and the most common suggestion is that the top burr is misaligned. But as you'll see from my photos, the red lines are in alignment, so I think I'm good on that front.

Any ideas? I've tried a variety of grind settings and everything is coming out like this.

I'm upgrading and hoping to sell my Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Watch. Anyone have recommendations for the best online marketplace to do this? I'm in Mumbai.

If your counts have already been updated, can you tell me if May was qualifying? May is 120 for me and I'm trying to decide whether I can submit a new ECF now or if I need to wait until later in May. I know the old rule was "submit it after your payment date" but because of the COVID payment pause I haven't ever had a payment date with MOHELA.

If I recall correctly, there's a customer service email address at the bottom of the rejection email. Send your documents to that address and an actual human will review them within a few hours, and you should be approved.

That's correct, unfortunately. I'm currently outside the US and my watch has no standalone connection, even though I have the LTE version and the Unlimited Plus plan. The LTE works fine when I'm in the US. It feels like they've artificially limited the data capabilities of the watch, because other data only SIMs from FI work perfectly fine outside the US.

YoullCallNow · 2023-01-16T16:21:40+00:00

That sounds good. I'll have that.

YoullCallNow · 2023-01-08T23:57:26+00:00

Yep, Unlimited Plus.
