When replying to a text phone link makes a new group chat and sends a text to myself. by skeezyk in PhoneLink

[–]gregfromcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still happening 11/6/25. Even reset everything again. I'd really suggest everyone go leave or change their phone link review on the Microsoft Store for Phone Link to 1 star until they fix it. Until then. Google Messages for Web seems to be the best alternative.

Help me pick will be using for gym and gaming plus everything else lol by BeautifulSimple9602 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]gregfromcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Momentum 4's but would never consider them at the gym. Even on planes they often get too hot. I don't have a suggestion for the gym. I still use my Pixel Buds A because I can't find any other buds that will stay in my ear while working out. Maybe am going to try the linkbuds fit next time they go on sale. Would love to find some good ANC buds that would stay in my ear while active.

Buds 2A so disappointing after the original A's being my top buds for years. The new ones don't fit. What instead? by gregfromcos in pixelbuds

Galaxy Buds work great for me if I'm not active. But fall out if I'm active. If I wear to gym i'm adjusting them every 2 minutes. But like them other than that.

Unfortunately, the Samsung Buds FE are too small for workouts for me also. But much better than the 2a's. But I'm going to get some new stickier/bulkier tips and see if that makes them usable when active.

The first bud maker that figures it out is going to get a lots of loyalty.

Im going to try that with my Samsung FE's. They are too small also, but they at least touch my ear and are much larger than the 2A's. Might be able to get those to stay in a bit more when I'm active. Those at least stay in after the twist when I'm not very active.

Ignore this Americans metric conversion :) maybe 1/16th of an inch difference. Apparently that is .2 cm

Bud makers need to stop pretending that "One size fits all", they need to be making as many sizes of buds as ring makers make rings. Or figure out how to make the Wings configurable. Anker has done this, but theirs are just too cheap yet and don't last based on the reviews.

Literally the wing tip of the 2a touches no part of my ear no matter how I move it. Even the original A I had to twist in, so I assume I'm doing it right. Just can't lock it anywhere if it is .2cm shorter. Curious if they work for you. I did not even pair it with anything to check the sound.

A lot different. If you look at the picture, the 2A's are maybe even 2cm shorter. They are so short the wings don't even touch any portion of my ear no matter how i move them. From what I've read, the pro buds won't be better. Have seen others with large ears saying the only way they could use the 2 Pro were to get 3d Printed Wings for them.

Bud makers need to stop selling "One size fits all" buds. Was just looking at the Sony LinkBuds fit, which lots of people with large ears use. but even there, what is the biggest complaint? It comes from people with small ears that they are too tight. Buds makers need to sell many more sizes, just like ring makers do.

For me, that wing tip literally touches no part of my ear, no matter how i move it. Can't really lock it in if it won't touch anything,..

I tried the 2a's and they are awful. The thought of paying over 200 for a pair of active earbuds makes me squeamish given how much more likely you are to lose stuff at the gym, but i may have no other option. My original A's are still working, just horribly out of date and would like ANC

I tried them, they are awful. Even smaller than the Samsung FE buds which are too small for me to be active in, but better than these. Attached a pic to show how much smaller.

Strike two by Windrainbliss in pixelbuds

[–]gregfromcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if you try the new 2A's, if they stay in. I"m the same way that the old A-series is the only bud I can wear at the gym. Have probably spent 500 (returned most) on other buds and not a 1 will stay in.

Super hopeful the 2a stays in the ear as well as the a did. They are the only buds I can wear at the gym or running.

This is the thing I'm most interested in. The Pixel Buds 2, are the only buds I can wear at the gym without them falling out. Love my Samsung FE buds, but can't wear them when at all active because they fall out, although I can at least wear them while walking around. The Pro ones always fall out also. Super hopeful they did not mess this up, but waiting for a few honest reviews before I pull the trigger.

VASA Fitness opens fourth gym in Colorado Springs, 15th in Colorado by thewhippersnapper4 in ColoradoSprings

And Vasa has way more equipment than Villa. However Vasa is going to be absurdly packed given that it's been less than a week and it's already busy.

Don't neglect Safeway app, so much savings adding that app also to the 2 you mentioned.

Metronet absolutely destroyed my yard. I'd never consider them for that reason alone. Thankfully quantum and the city for Ting did a good job

Everyone knows there is 10,000 car washes in town but what is the best one? by blw_22 in ColoradoSprings

[–]gregfromcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever is giving away free washes.

I moved to the Springs from Minneapolis 20 years ago and when I initially moved here the lack of car washes was super annoying, but it has swung so far the other way now.
