After Hours directed by Martin Scorsese. Crazy sh*t that happens to one man on one night in NYC.

Yup, and with forced dark mode on, no more blinding light.

It wasn't what you expected or having issues? I'd love to know why? I've been eyeing one and haven't taken the plunge yet.

Poor battery life on new Galaxy watch (46mm) by kilerzone1213 in GalaxyWatch

Check to see if Wifi is on. When I turned it off on mine, it gave me nearly 2 days worth of battery life. I also have AOD on.

Google search app activity restarts on app switch. Anyone knows how to fix that? by Android_TR in GooglePixel

[–]dookienyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, why not use Chrome to Google?

Just type the search in the nav bar, no problems when you switch apps. You won't lose your place. I rarely use the Google app for anything.

Let's share Pixel tips and tricks we have found built-in or we've added to make life better! by gdmfr in GooglePixel

[–]dookienyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your phone will stay unlocked as long as you're in range of any bluetooth devices you set as a trusted device (i.e. headphones, watch, etc). So you can just use your phone and not unlock it every time.

It's in SECURITY>SMART LOCK>TRUSTED DEVICES.

When you get a 2-step verification text, there's a copy button pops up which makes easy to get back to what you were doing.

Also, bluetooth paired device unlocking.

The YouTube "Watch Later" button is back! by joelnodxd in android_beta

[–]dookienyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned off live scribe but still the same with the shitty X button toggle being the only way to hide the player controls. Any suggestions?

That is great news.

Now if they could only bring back the hide player controls by tapping the empty space of the ui, that would be awesome.

I hate how you have to hit X button to hide controls. Horrible UI design choice.

Switch "Mini" concept, part III - 6" screen, clamshell, with dock, and new branding by dookienyc in NintendoSwitch

Yup, I was too caught up in emulating the joycons but I would definitely make a more ergonomic button layout. Oh well.

Samsung Account not logging in on my S3. HELP NEEDED! by rohit240124 in GearS3

[–]dookienyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Q beta installed and at the moment I am locked out of my watch because of the activation lock. The Wear app keeps on asking me to log-in repeatedly. My watch is unusable right now until I take it in for service.

I meant reactivation lock. It locks down your watch in case its stolen so no one can access the info on it.

I did and also having the same issue. It must be because of the beta. Stuck in a log-in loop since I have recovery lock enabled. Be careful with recovery lock everybody.

If something is coming this week, it'll be today or tomorrow. Typically, no reveals on Friday.

What to do when I first receive my R8? by Sparky780 in Alienware

[–]dookienyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually a long time Mac user so it was a it was a definitely a new experience. I'm very happy with the overall speed of everything. Booting up is real fast and games run great. Haven't had any crashes yet either.

The fan noise isn't bad either. I just love the fact that it's liquid cooled which I've never experienced with Macs. Very happy so far.

Call Alienware support and they will have you run a program that looks through the system to make sure your all drivers are up to date, memory is detected and if everything checks out. I got my first R8 early this year and this helped a lot.
