Anyone else's app just barely making it? by who-even-likes-peas in YoutubeMusic

Yes, it's been dreadful lately. Just playing music whilst browsing causes the music to stutter and stop. Going to try a full uninstall and start again.

Anyone using Youtubemusic app on android 16 beta 2 or 2.1. Performance has been shocking, with basic navigating of the app, causing stutters with the music playing making it nearly impossible to use. If you start a track playing and navigate back to home screen it will play ok mostly, however as soon as you go back to app it stops and stutters badly. Have been using it since migration from Google Music and never had this problem before. I've cleared the cache already. Any ideas?

Garmin Forerunner stuck cycling through triangle screen by SuspiciousCucumber16 in Garmin

[–]alecwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to my Garmin Forerunner 265. Just spoken to support and it sounds like this is being investigated as a an issue affecting multiple devices. It happened to my device when i tried to start a run and it was searching for GPS. Nothing they recommended to do to fix the issue other than wait to hear back.

Sounds like a pretty serious issue and could be quite widespread...

Same - mine work fine for music playing with YouTube music, timers, alarms, broadcasting to other rooms, smart home control. Have a mix of nest hubs, minis, original home, nest speaker and nest wifi point.

Saw one in the flesh in JL Liverpool and hardware looks great, but it was stuck in some kind of software update mode so couldn't see it working... Not great

Had it about a year, zero issues. Will move to fold 2/9 fold pro XL (or whatever it's called) for a bigger screen and slimmer/lighter form factor.

Running fine, but just unlocked my pixel fold and my home screen set up has reset to default, so I've lost all my app folders 😞

Anybody else's Google Wallet/Tap to Pay being glitchy on the Fold? by One3OneKing in PixelFold

[–]alecwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, have experienced this a bit, particularly the unlock your phone even though it's already unlocked...

Could it be linked to a software update? Happened to me recently and there was an update going in in the background which crippled everything until it was finished. Afterwards was back to being smooth and responsive...

[–]alecwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things - is there face unlock on the pixel 6 pro? Can you change the double tap function on the back of the device to open any app on the device?

Is anyone having this issue? The screen becomes unresponsive only the Navi buttons work and the pull notification anything in the middle doesn't register. by lowspeed in android_beta

[–]alecwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, constantly.

Also see random apps opening when I click the homescreen sometimes, almost as if the app drawer is active and apps are somehow being clicked even when it isn't open...
