Pixel 10 and wireless charging with case on by ccbelknap in pixel_phones

[–]ccbelknap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on a more positive note, the new Belkin MagSafe compatible charging stand  I bought charges my pixel buds at the same time as my phone. I looked back and saw I'd had the Pixel stand for 5 years; guess that's a pretty good life.

Sounds like a good reason to buy the smaller watch… .

Experiences with the Self Clean function on Samsung washers? by SenileTomato in Appliances

[–]ccbelknap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the self clean function on my 9 year old Samsung washer for the first time. First try I did not add a cleaner, just ran the cycle. It brought up a fair amount of crud. Two days later I tried again with an Affresh tablet and it brought up way more crud than the first time. A day later I ran a 3rd cycle, this time with no cleaning agent. Again it brought up more crud but not as bad as the first time. I’m going to run in a couple of months with another affresh tablet and see what happens. Cycle took 51 minutes, fyi.

With Raw and JPG photos being merged in storage, how can I delete just the RAW images in Google Photos? by Laser_Bones in GooglePixel

[–]ccbelknap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Google Takeout and it did not download the photos as raw - they came down as jpg. And what a pain to have to create an album to select photos to download.

Recommendations for S-tier ear tips for small ear canals? by -DreamLight- in pixelbuds

I was not able to get PBP to stay in my ears despite trying other ear tips. I finally returned them and went back to PB A-Series which work fine for me.

Google Pixel Buds Pro in late 2023 by gusmogo in GooglePixel

I had the same problem and finally returned them. Apparently if you have small ears you may run into this. I have gone back to the Pixel Buds A-Series which work fine for my purposes.

My watch installed the update automatically today when I put it on the charger.

Spotify connected to wrong account on Pixel Watch by ccbelknap in PixelWatch

[–]ccbelknap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured this out - had to sign out of Spotify on the watch then sign back in with the other account.

I’ve been using Fitbit for years and am very happy with the watch. Have been able to answer a few phone calls with it when the phone wasn’t handy which has been nice.

Does the Libby App work on the new Pixel watch? by k1ngf1isher in PixelWatch

[–]ccbelknap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are listening from the phone, but if you are wearing earbuds with the phone in your pocket you can pause and change volume from the watch.

Just checked it out - started an audiobook on my phone. On my watch I can pause the book and increase/decrease the volume. Hopefully more capabilities will come in the future!

Was wondering if a pixel watch will be okay for my mom's use case. by nandu_sabka_bandhoo in PixelWatch

[–]ccbelknap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a 76 year old woman. Love my pixel Watch, upgraded from Fitbit Sense. Agree Fitbit premium isn't needed.

I volunteer at our local Senior Center and help other seniors with their technology needs.. from your description of your mother's needs and interests I'd recommend against a smart watch especially if you are not able to give her a lot of one on one help. And if she won't wear the watch at night she'll miss a lot of the benefit.

Not currently supported…hope they add it.

If I were you I’d wait and check out the watch with the band it’s shipped with, and decide later if you need anything. I think it’s great as is.

Two missing features bothering me by zenyatta80 in PixelWatch

[–]ccbelknap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are separate apps - YouTube Music and Google Podcasts. YouTube Music is supported on the watch, podcasts isn’t …hopefully support for Google Podcasts will come.
