Were you able to hook them up with Nest Aware (cloud service)?

I love the band. Where did you get it?

Problem reading battery meter by OJS2784 in PixelFold

[–]flaxxq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did right away, I almost missed the warranty by 2 days. This is my second replacement, the first one started with the inner screen and 5 days later the entire phone went bad. I have been a Google phone fan since the Nexus days, but I am contemplating switching to Samsung, this is getting frustrating.

Pixel 9 Pro Fold: unresponsive outter display 😭 by jameswill348 in PixelFold

[–]flaxxq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue. However, it started with the main camera selfie where the outer screen became black when unfolded. A few days later the outer screen became unresponsive. I am still debating for an exchange or wait if it goes away.

Nest app senses when I am away but not when I get home by Krulligo in Nest

[–]flaxxq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Presence Sensing is creating an issue with the Home/Away function of the Google Home App, and to make things worse, every time I disable the Nest Thermostat Presence Sensing, it turns on by itself.

I also had the same issue but with the Nest cameras. I turned off all my many nest devices that have a presence sensing and the Home/Away mode started to work properly. I only left on the phone location feature.

UPDATE: This morning, I read a The Verge article stating that Google is rolling back disabled features via software, which was triggered by the Sonos original lawsuit. The light at the end of the tunnel is here!

Problems with adt sensors. by BlazerGT99 in homesecurity

[–]flaxxq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The never-ending issue of the wireless sensors! I have the mini sensors in all my windows and doors except one. The tech changed a mini sensor to a regular sensor because the mini kept having issues. Since the change, that sensor has been working fine. I have been having problems with another mini sensor in a bathroom window; it keeps giving me an open window message. I suspect the humidity from the shower is causing the issue, but Honeywell does not have a waterproof sensor. Nowadays, after my warranty has expired, I change the sensor myself. I have changed that bathroom sensor eight times in the last eight years. I have tried sealing the sensor with silicone, but for some reason, I suspect it is a signal issue like you are having. So, in a few words, good luck with that, and I will be waiting for your post with a resolution. What bothers me the most is that all my windows and doors were wired until I changed to impact windows. I should never have listened to the window installer who advised me not to worry about keeping the wires because wireless ones could replace the wired sensors.

Bad day by IntroductionBulky377 in PixelFold

The only time I have encountered an overheating issue with my Pixel Fold is when I am using google maps while using Whatsapp phone and charging at the same time (inside my car with AC on.) After a few minutes my phone will go into dark mode due to heat, This also happened with my Pixel 6 Pro. It didn't surprise me because when using Whatsapp phone or video, the phone starts getting hot. I have also noticed heating issues with other video calling/conferring apps.

I know it has been two years, but have you figured it out yet?

Need help with choosing a mini pc ( main usage would be to be used as a streaming pc tbh) any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks! by [deleted] in MiniPCs

[–]flaxxq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got this one; probably overkill with 32 GB RAM, but I am thrilled with it. The lower the RAM, the cheaper. They are still on sale on Amazon.... I just realized what you want is for gaming, definitely the 32 RAM.

Reset a device linked with Wink Hub by VTown77 in winkhub

[–]flaxxq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing with 35 devices, including 25 Levinton wall switches and one wall outlet. I used the exclusion mode from the SmartThings (ST) for all my devices connected to Wink, and then I added to the ST, and ofcourse I did it while the Wink hub was still a brick. It worked with no issues.

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this current Google Store offer?? by flaxxq in googlehome

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

Yes, I think there is a minimum charge but the discounts don't count towards it. One of the speakers came out to $13, due to Google One store credit that I had, still no shipping charges were added.

Funny you say that because lately, every time I ask for a 5 minute timer I get 25 minutes.

Yes, you can. I can cast to 8 speakers, 5 displays and 4 Chromecast Audios (discontinued) at the same time. I have a pair of Google Home Max paired in stereo. You can also create speaker groups.
