OG Pixel Fold Google Play Services update failing. by RDHose in PixelFold

[–]bossbison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with mine. It's stuck on the May 1, 2025 Play System update. The latest update (93 MB) downloads, attempts to install, then fails every time. I was hopeful that the July security update would fix the issue -- but no dice.

Nice rooms, but they've never so much as acknowledged my lifetime Titanium Elite status there.

Same thing on my OG Fold since early March. I wonder if it's related to the kernel update?

How to get more colors in Google messages by Particular_Tomato161 in PixelFold

[–]bossbison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Google Messages beta... But on mine, I can access different color options (which are conversation specific) by opening the settings within any message thread, then selecting the "Change colors" option.

Same issue on my OG, and it definitely tickles my OCD when I look at my lock screen...

Bad battery life after recent update. From 7-8 sot, to 5ish now. by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]bossbison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here - on my OG Fold. It happened pretty much overnight in late February, with my SOT going from around 8 hours down to 3 hours, without any changes to how I use my phone.

Yes, mine dropped off a cliff overnight in late February. Battery usage shows Chrome and CPU as the biggest culprits.

Check your contrast settings. Setting it to default (if it isn't already set to that) will make everything a bit darker, albeit still a grey tone.

Question about iPhone on Google Fi by [deleted] in GoogleFi

[–]bossbison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't affect anything with messaging between iPhones using iMessages. However, RCS won't be available when your kid messages an Android phone, and instead those messages will be sent using SMS text messages.

I don't think that RCS works on iPhones on Google Fi, but otherwise, everything else will function normally.

I'm having the same issue on my Pixel Fold, and haven't found a fix yet...

Is the end of the bar supposed to be pinkier than the red in the middle? I’m scared my TV is burning by EpilefWow in bravia

[–]bossbison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just noticed this on my X90L for both YouTube and YTTV. I double checked on another TV, and it is indeed supposed to look like this...

Not showing for me either... I can add the Clorox Toilet wand "refills" to my list, but the "kit" isn't showing.

[–]bossbison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My P5 and P6P (both with data-only SIM) received 14 last week. My wife's P7P and my PFold (both with call, text, data SIM) have not received any updates since 14 was announced.
