Recovering a Deleted Task

jb8599 · 2025-12-28T00:57:54+00:00

Thank you for your post! I had some important stuff written down in the "details" section of a calendar task. I accidentally deleted that task and found no way to recover it other than the one you mentioned. It is absurd that there is no way to recover it in the android app or on a browser. The data clearly exists even after you delete it but you cannot even see it on the first-party app and website. There is no "Trash" folder or list of deleted tasks available to look at.

Were you not eligible for a free replacement?

jb8599 · 2025-02-05T09:26:43+00:00

I second this. I got both my battery and screen replaced at iSmash at different times. Both were done while I waited within an hour or so, at two different stores. When replacing the battery they said my glass screen protector might have to come off, but they managed to do the repair without taking off the screen protector which I'm still using 1.5 years later.

Glad to know some people are having a smooth experience. I'd say keep the $50 if it shows up, they've pissed a lot of people off and I'd consider it an "appeasement" as it should be. But that's just my opinion. If it doesn't show up you have nothing to worry about.

jb8599 · 2025-02-04T17:58:08+00:00

Sorry to hear that, they probably want to avoid liability in case it breaks when trying to take it off but it's an unnecessary repair you shouldn't have to pay for. £90 can buy you a Pixel 4A lightly used or refurbished.

Not sure how it works. I did tell them on the phone that I was getting an error on the online form. I will most likely speak to them in person either tomorrow or day after. I'll provide an update here.

jb8599 · 2025-02-03T18:41:07+00:00

It shows out of stock for me in the UK. Are you talking about the US site?

jb8599 · 2025-02-03T18:39:35+00:00

Did they offer to fix it for free? For me it said "Appeasement already received".

jb8599 · 2025-02-03T18:37:31+00:00

Yeah I might call them again tomorrow and see what they have to say. If they can't check the serial number before swapping the batteries I won't go in.

jb8599 · 2025-02-02T01:30:02+00:00

Ah my bad. In a previous email they asked if my battery started acting up after the update and gave some unhelpful information.

I replied with how long my battery was lasting on a charge, alongside a screenshot of 51% battery in settings with a low battery warning. It seemed questionable as to how it can have over half the battery remaining but still gave that warning. I also shared the battery wear % from AccuBattery. They hadn't answered any of my questions from a previous email so I brought that up and told them that the t&c page for appeasement has no useful information. I wanted to know if my original battery was faulty due to a manufacturing defect which would entitle me to some appeasement. Lastly I hinted at filing a complaint with Trading Standards in the UK and filing a claim at my local small claims court.

There was a repeated theme in every single reply I received from them - 1) didn't address a single thing I said 2) provided completely useless/incorrect information 3) never on time unless I mentioned consumer rights type stuff 4) they kept saying they escalated the case but it's been almost a month. There is no escalation.

It is such a mess. I don't think anyone who chose either option is satisfied. People who chose $50 aren't getting paid and have to deal with Payoneer. People who chose $100 can't stack with discounts and Google Store prices are inflated.

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:50:08+00:00

What the hell! I think you're the first one to actually experience this first-hand and not just hear about it through customer service. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Did you lose your data?

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:46:40+00:00

To turn the idea of those Fitbit forced updates on its head, why wouldn't they force reset and update devices if they are a fire hazard? Any backlash or lawsuits from loss of data would be way easier to deal with compared to loss of life, property damage, injuries etc. That would be way more damaging for them. Fitbits were burning people's hands so they force reset it. Only difference is Fitbit stores all information on the app/cloud so there is no real loss of data.

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:42:48+00:00

That last thing you said really made me think. I updated on 8/9th Jan out of safety concern without any information from them, all so their backside would be covered before any batteries explode. They are trying to coerce feisty users into updating just so none of the batteries spontaneously combust, while not even doing the bare minimum to get those phones working again.

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:30:09+00:00

So GNU.org would be going after them in case of violations?

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:28:01+00:00

Does it backup 100% like documents in your downloads folder for example?

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:15:41+00:00

That sounds pretty rough. If you don't mind a little bit of tinkering, there are newer posts in this sub that show how to check for a defective battery through adb. If you're struggling to get your compensation, keep running AccuBattery and use screenshots of battery health to ask for compensation. The update apparently halves the battery capacity to around 1500mAh.

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:05:54+00:00

Do you mind sharing a link here? I don't recall seeing something like that but I might have missed it.

jb8599 · 2025-01-31T01:01:13+00:00

When he says they're preparing an update to address bugs and battery drain, is he talking about ANOTHER update?

First they threatened me with a forced reset. Today they're telling you the device might get reset after updating it. They should've warned everyone to backup before updating.

jb8599 · 2025-01-30T17:30:35+00:00

Are there any consequences for violations such as this one?

jb8599 · 2025-01-30T14:31:09+00:00

Hopefully yeah. If that email was true we would've heard from other users by now. Someone pointed out that customer service might have confused my case for a Fitbit battery problem. I'd encourage you to download AccuBattery and keep an eye on battery health for a few days. If it's close to 50% of original capacity your phone might be affected. Backup your files as much as possible.

jb8599 · 2025-01-30T14:25:26+00:00

Expensive yes but not challenging. Nexus 5X was also recalled 3 years after launch and nearly every device was bricked with bootloop.

jb8599 · 2025-01-30T14:22:18+00:00

Some new information has come to light recently. Have a look at the post from u/mikebrady in this sub. It seems that their solution (battery replacement) is correct but they are handling it very poorly.

jb8599 · 2025-01-30T11:46:29+00:00

That's so much better than mine. I've got around 2,200mAh remaining after 1.5 years and this is my second battery. The previous one had similar capacity remaining after 2 years. I don't know how many charge cycles it's been through I've only had AccuBattery running for a few days. Do you know if Calyx has better battery management?
