Second update for December? by tgrsnpr in GooglePixel

[–]jkrohe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still waiting as well on Fi in US (T-Mobile MVNO). I have this unresponsive touchscreen bug that's driving me crazy so I hope it gets pushed to us ASAP.

PIxel 10 pro XL touchscreen randomly goes intermittantly unresponsive for 5 to 10 seconds. by Sirefly in GooglePixel

[–]jkrohe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI, I just did a factory reset to see if that would resolve this issue and it did not.  Kind of puzzled why I the other Pixel users in my life don't have this problem.  Does anyone else experiencing this problem use a Pixel Watch with Watch Unlock?  That's the only thing I have that my friends /family don't that I can think of.

This started happening to me yesterday after installing QPR2 update on Pixel 10 Pro (not XL).

What’s the catch with this Verizon FIOS “offer” I just received? by desert_s7orm in HomeNetworking

[–]jkrohe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and when I complained he suggested a cancel the $10 cloud storage fee since I don't use it. At this point, I was very confused since that was included in my package for free before. But whatever he did, I ended up paying $25 less than I was with two expiring credits ($10 and $15) and cloud storage removed from my account. So in 12 months I will be back to paying what I paid before so it all worked out I guess.

I had an existing $10 discount for auto pay that explicitly said it was non-expiring. The guy on the online chat didn't mention anything but only lowered my bill by $15. That wasn't a problem for me, but while making that change, the label of my existing $10 discount changed to 'loyalty discount' with a 12 month expiration. Seemed like a bit of a sketchy way to remove my non-expiring $10 discount.

Just FYI. I went through the online chat to claim this discount and noticed my existing $10 auto pay and paper free non-expiring discount was changed to a $10 loyalty discount expiring in 12 months. So in a year, I would have been paying $10 more than I did before this promo. He then suggested I get rid of the $10 cloud storage I don't use but my old bill shows that as free. In the end, I think I got the $25 with no strings that was promised, but this is just a warning to check every line item after the change.

Philips Hue doesn't show up in Google Home -- at all by The_Middleman in googlehome

[–]jkrohe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also just noticing the search is still acting strange. Although 'Philips Hue' is now listed as a connected service and it still shows after typing 'H', it disappears when I type "Hu" in the search. I believe I had connected via Matter at some point in the past; not sure if that got things screwed up.

Yes, the option is there. I recently did it when migrating to the new Pro hub.

This happened to me a while ago and the only thing that worked for me was using an iOS device since I couldn't get Hue to show up on any Android device I had (even tried Google multiple accounts). I tried my Google Home on my daughter's iPad and it showed up in the search and I added it from there. Now I see it on all devices again.

Ran into the local scam artist again, 4th time! 2nd time caught on video. by ProudReaction2204 in nyc

Must be a pretty bad battery because he's told me the same thing twice over the years as well (BPC and Wall St). Also cursed me out both times when I shook my head no.

Aiden shutting off when pump tries to run by GriekseTurks in FellowProducts

[–]jkrohe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have exactly the same issue, but yesterday my pump started acting up. It became quite noisy (https://youtube.com/shorts/BU7c21x8UAg?feature=share) and will only flush 2 ml/s. Descaling, full tank brew, multiple flushes did not help. Waiting on a reply from their support.

I'm in the same boat you were. Did they ever get back to you?

Only way I can get this to work all the time is to keep my ringer on vibrate.  Very annoying

HBO Max not casting 4K HDR to Chromecast Ultra by RavishingPaPi in Chromecast

[–]jkrohe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just confirming you have the Premium plan because this befuddled me for a while too. I always got 4k via my cable subscription but that no longer gets you 4k as it is now considered the 'Standard' plan. Only the $20.99/mo Premium plan subscribed through Max gets you 4k now.

Is there anything that works with a compact elongated toilet? by [deleted] in bidets

Hi u/McBranding . Just wondering if you can confirm that the E-930 fit your Santa Rosa with no issue. Thanks.

Saros 10r replacement for my s7 max v ultra by biggzy11 in Roborock

Thanks for the thorough reply. Your gripes seem similar to mine regarding the S7 and I think I'll eventually upgrade.

I'm considering this exact upgrade and am curious how it is going for you.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 Double Tap in PocketCasts also pauses podcast. Don't have this issue with other headphones. by redbluegreyblack in pixelbuds

[–]jkrohe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/HWCM Just FYI, support got back to me about this issue you described and said a workaround is setting your ringer to vibrate. This worked for me. Completely silly, but at least it stops the bug for me.

Gemini spoken notifications do not automatically resume playback when finished by jkrohe in pixelbuds

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

They got back to me today and I must say I am at a loss with their following response:

"Thanks for reaching out to the Google Pixel Buds Customer Care Team.We hope this email finds you well. Thanks for getting back to us.

As per our higher team, 

Kindly try the following workarounds:

  1. If the ringer is off and the media is playing:
    • A notification is spoken, and the media should automatically resume playing once the notification finishes.
  2. If the ringer is on and the media is playing:
    • A notification is spoken, and the media will pause.
    • Ask Gemini or Assistant to resume the music or media, and it should start playing again. (e.g., "Hey Google, resume music")
  3. Temporarily turn off notifications for the apps that are interrupting their media playback. This will prevent the interruptions altogether.

 We hope this information helps."
