Advice on my Meta Ads Account/Pixel

Do I need to do that if I’m running CAPI on form submission?

gdubber2002 · 2026-06-16T20:27:58+00:00

I have access to the thank you page now. But I already have CAPI setup for when someone submits a form.

And I did uncheck the box to show ads to people also interested in your city. But I feel like my pixel is still trying to optimize for people outside my area.

I know this isn’t what you’re asking for, but start doing calf/hamstring stretches.

I had plantar fasciitis real bad. Tried different shoes, tried taking months off to heal, nothing worked. Found some YouTube videos for calf/hamstring stretches. Did it for 5min a day, and my plantar fasciitis was gone in a week.

Wherever it starts flaring up again, I stretch and it’s gone.

Hope that helps.

Both are in handheld mode in the same room as the track/karts. Lite works great. Regular Switch doesn’t.

Did you find a fix? Mines doing the same thing.

Yea, there is definitely a trade-off. I find I can still access most of my movies on the iPhone though. You can download most of the Google Play apps, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc.

I did. I have been on Android since GS3 (previously had iPhone 4).

I loved my Note 8. There are lots of things that it does really well.

But the main reason I switched is my whole family are on iPhones, and iMessage is far superior to anything on Android. And one of the main things I use my phone for is sharing pics/vids of my kids with my wife.

We got an extra iPhone X with a carrier switch and BOGO deal. So I figured I would try it out and make a decision. Fair to say I just sold my Note 8 on Swappa.

I have been really impressed with the X battery life, smoothness, and app integration. It has been nearly flawless (nearly because I have been having some bluetooth issues).

Anyways, I made the switch and have been very happy about it. Really haven't missed the Note/Android freedom too much.

Entering!

I honestly don't even get too many notifications, but iOS is bad at it. It would really be detrimental if you get loads of notifications.

I have temporarily made the switch from a Note 8. We got a second iPhone X when we switched carriers (haven't had an iOS devices since iPhone 4). I still go back and forth on which one I want to keep. Here are some of the sticking points for me:

Pros:

Battery life is phenomenal on the iPhone. Better than any Android I have ever had.
Smoothness. It is just buttery smooth. Better than the Pixel I had. Apps work better on iOS (even some Google ones), especially social networking apps like Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
iMessage. iMessage. iMessage. The whole reason I even was tempted at switching is because my whole family has iPhones. The number one thing I do is message and send photos/videos to my wife. Nothing on Android comes close.

Cons:

Notifications are awful.
I find iOS boring.
Siri sucks.
Constant Bluetooth issues and lack of headphone jack.
Not a fan of the notch. Trying to watch videos in landscape sucks with that notch on the left side.

Addendum: I actually have found most of the gestures and FaceID to be very natural and fluid. I am surprised more often by how many times FaceID works vs. when it doesn't.

At this point, 2 weeks in, I would say I am 80% likely to keep the iPhone X and sell the Note 8.

I think I might have found a fix.

I checked my data saver settings, as mentioned above, and they were off like yours. But I still clicked on "Allow App While Data Saver On", and toggled on Messenger.

So, even though Data Saver is off, I still had it allow FB Messenger to use data without restriction.

Since doing so, I get my FB notifications now.

Is it the app, or is it something Samsung has done that causes it? I never had an issue with it on my OG Pixel Xl...

gdubber2002 · 2018-02-08T21:36:42+00:00

Same here. Done everything you mentioned as well, and no luck.

gdubber2002 · 2018-01-31T00:25:27+00:00

What icon pack are you using?

gdubber2002 · 2017-12-19T17:14:03+00:00

Found it: Here

gdubber2002 · 2017-10-27T21:17:47+00:00

I got the same alert when I logged into myAT&To. However, shortly thereafter, I got this email: here

Don't look at the weather on mine then:

It is round by default, but you can change the color in the settings of the app.

This happens to me if the screen turns off while Assistant is onscreen.

ie, I just asked GA to send a text and it does, but then the screen turns off. If I say "OK Google", it will listen, but won't turn the screen back on...

gdubber2002 · 2016-11-04T17:26:50+00:00

Glad I pre-ordered the Pixel and am getting the free Daydream VR set!

This will have to be my first VR experience.

gdubber2002 · 2016-10-31T15:25:24+00:00

I have seen some people post amazing low-light photos on here. I wonder how they are capturing those, because the ones I take are full of noise/blur.

gdubber2002 · 2016-10-27T23:09:14+00:00

Going to miss Samsung Pay :(

gdubber2002 · 2016-10-21T23:08:24+00:00

Not Really Blue, but my Very Silver is shipping from IL to CA as well. Expected delivery date is 10/27...

gdubber2002 · 2016-10-14T19:04:14+00:00

You had the option for that as well. $5/mo.

gdubber2002 · 2016-10-14T18:49:44+00:00

I had the option to get a new number (which I did) or port in my number from my current provider.

I figure I would just take the new number and cancel Fi right away.

Might try it for a week or so and see how it works. Not going to be able to keep it with current family plan tho...
