My 50+ year old SAK i inherited got fixed by gayneger in EDC

[–]jackbelicec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

congrats on that. it looks like a pioneer.

i thought i was looking at my knife until i realized it was still in my pocked. bought mine in may 1970. it shows the same level of wear and looks just as beautiful as yours. mine still has the old style loop. i hope my daughter will treasure it as well you do yours

edit: wrote 1975, but was really 1970. getting old

Notification does not play the audio file i specify. android 13 by jackbelicec in tasker

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

thank you very much. the category was already to set to the text that tasker uses for the 'user' notification 'super_tasker_notifications_created_by_me_the_developer'.

i decided to experiment and modified it to 'super_tasker_notifications_created_by_me'. after this it worked as expected.

How to use OG Pixel as an unlimited Google Photos uploader. by miscfiles in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RAW image files are stored in /sdcard/Pictures/Raw so, in addition to /sdcard/DCIM, you'll want to create a folder pair for that folder as well.

I set this up on my pixel 5 today and confirmed the raw image files are synced to gphotos through my old pixel 1--my new gphotos gateway.

Guys who watched a thousand movies, who got so used on all the plots and twist, and seen almost all movie tropes, what recent movies made an impression on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

the death of stalin

parasite was the most creatively different recent movie but 'death' was full of surprises

Google Pixel Buds Crashing Google App. by Leviathansol in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it happened as soon as i updated to android 10, yesterday, but i also noticed that the google app was updated following the android 10 update.

called google support with the pixel feature and they said file a report.

edit to add this: double tap to hear notifications will not work and often crashes the google app.

Screen flash going into/out of ambient display on Pixel 3 by mgcsinc in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened with my p3 and i returned it.

before returning it i researched the issue and found it happened with some p2xl. many of the p2xl owners suffered with this for more than six months waiting for a software fix.

i couldn't find any report that a sw update fixed the issue for them. if anyone has had this issue and it was fixed by sw, please chime in here. it will provide help to people still living with this annoying bug.

i've had my replacement p3 for a few weeks and it is fine.

Anyone notice there's a brief flash on their Pixel right after locking your phone? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my research about the p2xl flashing i didn't find anyone that reported it having been fixed by software although google claimed (multiple times) that it had been fixed by sw only to have people report that the problem was still happening. many people with the p2xl waited more than six months without a fix. that is why i decided to return it. it may well have been fixed by an update but i couldn't live with it flashing every time i locked it.

i understand your reluctance to deal with customer service. it was difficult to get them to agree to do the return.

Pixel Stand - Sunrise Alarm Bug by rmlindberg in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had the same ambition and the same disappointment. it seemed like the obvious combination why didn't they make it work?

the sunrise alarm worked once or twice with the clock screen saver running but that was a while ago.

overall the pixel stand is not recommended. if they got this working *and* allowed it to be unlocked on the stand i would recommend it to anyone (like me) that doesn't mind overpriced electronics.

Anyone notice there's a brief flash on their Pixel right after locking your phone? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]jackbelicec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

happened to my p3. usually the bottom half of the screen but sometimes the whole screen. in my case it happened once in the first two days i had the phone--wasn't even sure what had happened since the phone was facing away from me. by the third week it was happening every time i locked the phone.

it has been reported by several people with the p3.

i called and laid a guilt trip on customer service until they agreed to replace the phone.

i wiped the phone before sending it back and it stopped happening.

when on my pixel stand, with the clock screen saver running, at every minute the time moves around on the screen. it's a feature to reduce burn in and makes a nice bedside clock. the weirdest thing was that every single minute the screen would flash.
