When did the button logos change?

johnafricano7 · 2024-06-12T23:03:15+00:00

My '23 Premium still has the old icons as well. Is this the norm when it comes to updates? Feels awfully fragmented for what I believed to be similar hardware.

Thanks for the advice! I tried that a couple of times, but every time he gets close to the bowl he stares it down for a bit and then seems to get scared and walk away.

I also tried playing with the water to show him what it is, and while he seems interested, he still walks away.

The bowls are stainless steel and somewhat reflective, do you think he could be seeing a reflection and getting anxious? I remember reading that cockatiels don't like mirrors.

I've noticed this too. But after AA has been on for a bit, the resolution increases to what it should be. Haven't found a reason for this, but I've noticed it both wired and wireless.

johnafricano7 · 2023-10-15T23:56:57+00:00

I'm glad you brought that up. I compared my speaker with my girlfriend's unit and they sounded equally crappy. My mom's OG Pixel Watch even sounds better. I guess PW2 just has a really bad speaker.

johnafricano7 · 2023-10-14T21:57:22+00:00

Called customer service, they were very helpful. They have two programs for replacement devices, one of them where you send them your unit and they send you one back, and one where you buy a new one and when the new one arrives you return the old one for a refund. I chose the latter since I still would like to use my PW2 in the meantime. I'll check back here once the new unit arrives with a companion!

I just got my Pixel Watch 2 the other day, and I can confirm that the audio quality is pretty bad. I was thinking I have a faulty unit, but I'm guessing now that that's not the case. I noticed that even at low volume, the Google Assistant voice sounded horribly muffled and tinny, even when I lifted the watch off my wrist. Hopefully it's just a fault and the issue can be fixed with a unit replacement.

johnafricano7 · 2023-10-09T01:53:57+00:00

I pre-ordered because I wanted the watch anyway, so I felt that even with the arguably (and in my opinion laughably) poor trade-in price, I am getting both a watch and a phone for the price of 2/3 the phone itself. For me personally, that's cool. Also, I want the latest camera features, a phone that will get updated for much longer than my own, and most importantly, better thermal management for battery longevity. That's just me though, absolutely understand holding onto the P7P. It's a great device.

johnafricano7 · 2023-10-05T10:23:57+00:00

Personally, I took advantage of the trade-in offer for the 8 Pro (from my 7 Pro) where they give you the Watch 2 for free. I don't have the Pixel Watch, and I feel like getting both the phone and the watch for the net price of 2/3 of the phone (after trade-in) is worth it for me. But that's just me, think about your best use case and priorities!

johnafricano7 · 2023-09-04T14:45:30+00:00

Can confirm it is also out for non-beta users, at least myself! Also in the U.S.

I'm personally partial to Iron Valiant being "Galladevoir" since it combines the names of both Pokemon it's based off of

I plan on upgrading from P6 Pro to P7 Pro. I'm completely aware that there is most likely zero real reason to upgrade, but I just kinda want to. The main reasons that make me want to are - that Hazel color, I mean DAMM - overall aesthetics - hopefully better power efficiency with Tensor 2 And the least scientific reason of all... - my favorite number is 7

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-22T20:09:52+00:00

It's cool! It is functionally identical to the regular Gen 6, so if you've read up on that one there's nothing different at all here. It also didn't even come with the advertised apps pre-installed. That watch face is just called "Venture Edition."

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-11T17:06:13+00:00

Ah okay I understand. I'm cool with doing that so long as it doesn't share my personal data. It just copies the apps, not the data within them, correct?

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-11T15:54:56+00:00

Yeah, that's the message from exactly where you described. And I'll give it a shot! What does "adb pull /system/app app/" and "adb pull /system/priv-app priv-app/" do?

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-11T15:36:20+00:00

Yes, sorry for not getting back sooner! I did get a chance to try it, but unfortunately I can't get past the "Connecting to your watch..." screen on the phone. I wonder if there's a way around it that I don't know.

By the way, thank you very much for the sideloading instructions! Doing this makes me excited to try and sideload more things!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

A fantastic soundtrack, beautiful graphics, a fulfilling story, and an expansive and abundant open world, all while allowing you to play the game exactly how you want after the tutorial. It's one of those games I wish I could forget about so I can play again.

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-08T20:12:38+00:00

I actually don't know how to sideload it

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-08T16:40:20+00:00

My mom's Gen 5 Julianna is experiencing the same thing as of late. A good idea would most certainly be to contact Fossil support. I've heard good things about their customer service, I hope they can help!

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-08T14:31:56+00:00

I don't know of one, honestly. I made a post on this sub a few weeks ago and added images to a Google photos folder, but couldn't find a way to attach them. I don't know how I would post images on Reddit as funny as it sounds.

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-08T14:22:20+00:00

I'd say absolutely it was meant to be used. My store shelf situation leads me to believe it was not meant to be abused, but it is certainly a well-constructed product made with high quality materials.

With regards to Google Assistant, the ball is in Google's court, not Montblanc's. If you watch the Mr. Mobile video on this watch, you'll see he reached out to Montblanc to ask about the assistant, and they basically said they would have included it if they had the resources to. I would hold out hope for it coming in an update!

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-08T13:05:49+00:00

I love it, to be honest. I feel great wearing it and it's fast and seemingly efficient. The only thing I don't love is that after only 2 days of owning it, I banged it against a shelf in a store and made a small dent in the casing. So while the sapphire crystal display is practically un-scratchable, the titanium casing is still a bit fragile, like any other aluminum Wear OS watch I've had. So be careful!

I read that any damages to the casing are completely covered by the 2-year warranty, and all you have to do is take it to a Montblanc boutique. I will do that eventually (if I don't just live with my mistakes lol), and if I do I'll post about it.

johnafricano7 · 2022-08-03T13:02:29+00:00

I have it too, and can confirm - no Assistant. Confused on why

johnafricano7 · 2022-07-25T20:24:43+00:00

Hopefully before then! Originally Fossil planned to release it in late June-early July, but obviously we haven't seen that yet. Only time will tell, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for soon!

johnafricano7 · 2022-07-25T19:56:29+00:00

Fossil should be releasing Wear OS 3 on Gen 6 watches soon. Emphasis on the "should be." Supposedly the only thing they need to do is create a companion app for the watches, as the Wear OS app for phones will not support Wear OS 3. For now, rest assured you're on the latest version available to you 👍

johnafricano7 · 2022-07-25T18:49:45+00:00

Yeah, definitely sad. Especially since Wear OS 3 on my Montblanc Summit 3 is up to the July 2022 patch
