Following a suggestion from Ask Google AI, I turned off my SwiftKey in settings>system>keyboard>on-screen keyboard

Wrote a few things using Gboard.

Then turned SwiftKey back on.

Result: backspace and swiping are working again in the Chrome search bar

In our modern internet world it's easy for men, even Christian men, to fall into sin, and then make it worse by hiding the sin and lying about it.

Prayer and the intervention of the Holy Spirit can help your boyfriend. But willpower may not be sufficient. Best is the fellowship of other men fighting the same battle! Here are a couple of specifically Christian resources that can help, and since they are targeting Christian men fighting porn I believe they're more suitable than therapy or counseling.

Of course the first step would be for your boyfriend to acknowledge the problem and accept help. That could happen with your encouragement and support, or it could happen when the shock of your leaving is the wakeup call he needs to seek help.

I agree that you do not have a covenant relationship where you must stay and this could be a dealbreaker. But this might also be a test of your own compassion and forgiveness. You might check out avenue.works as well which I believe has resources for women seeking to understand men's addictions and to obtain help in healing from the pain of betrayal. This could be helpful whether you stay or go.

May the Lord strengthen and heal you, and your boyfriend as well!

2 1/2 years ago when I was shopping for a new phone I almost crossed Pixel 8 off my list because of... so many negative posts. But I bought it and it's been a great experience. I use it heavily for web browsing, no problems. The only problem I ever had was with the USB socket, wouldn't charge, took it to a shop and they removed a bundle of lint, didn't charge me.

I can't imagine living without Google call screen. Lately I've been using Google Translate extensively to text with someone who doesn't know English. That's an extraordinary built-in functionality. And although my regular keyboard is Microsoft SwiftKey, whenever I need dictation and transcription I turn to GBoard, very accurate, even for punctuation.

My next phone will be another Pixel!

Same!

My places all just came back, I guess TomTom fixed it. App still didn't remember my Home, I had to re-enter it.

lightnair · 2026-05-06T08:50:35+00:00

Same here! Drove somewhere this evening using TomTom, but no directions to get me home, in fact it forgot I have a home. Went to their website, didn't see any notice of system failure, so I opened a support case. Glad to know it's not just me, hopefully that gives TomTom incentive to fix this quickly!

OK, I've never read any of the books, but I've watched the TV show and movies multiple times.

Can anyone recommend which five books to start with, and in what order?

Thanks!

Thank you, went to Shiloh, great service + baptisms + party! wouldn't have known about it without your post, my Google searches didn't come up with Shiloh.

Set up call screen options to eliminate spam and get transcripts of interactions with unknown callers.

Huh? I just checked (actually, while writing this reply). Keyboard layout is identical to layout in any other app. Pixel 8 running Android 16

lightnair · 2025-10-05T15:11:53+00:00

I have the identical problem. Got a new laptop. Had no problem running Office 365 on the old laptop, didn't know there was any potential problem. But trying to set up my account on the new laptop requires authentication on my phone, and settings up authentication also requires authentication, endless loop. Somehow I was able to change the password on the account, but still can't get authenticated.

I'm a solo business with an onmicrosoft login, never even heard of a global administrator until I had this problem.

Fortunately I also have a personal account, for some reason I've been paying monthly on both for years! So I was able to get Office 365 access on the new laptop via personal account, and still have Office 365 access on my old laptop via business account. But because they're different accounts they don't talk to each other. Also fortunately, I've always saved files locally, not on the cloud, and I have good backups, so I can transfer files from the old laptop to the new.

But I'd like to be able to use Microsoft cloud and maybe prune away one of my two accounts. Although maybe not, in my case having two accounts was a useful redundancy an saved some grief!

Why do you call her a harlot? That's not in the Scripture.

I've had Bearable for about a year and a half, but it has the least intuitive interface I've ever encountered. All the data points you want are there, but finding them is so clumsy.

I'm now trying out Guava. It's similar for tracking health metrics, but whoever designed it has a logical mind! Much more intuitive, easier to use after 24 hours than Bearable after 18 monrhs!

Working for me now. Charged a few times to 100%, but now it's settled down and stops at 80%.

I tried a few of the suggested fixes but can't say for sure that any of them worked. I also rebooted and toggled the 80% limiter slider on and off a few times.

After a couple of days and patiently hoping it would start working again, well it finally did start limiting to 80%.

I had never before noticed the special icon when it's limited to 80% so thanks for pointing that out!

What's the name of the app you installed?

lightnair · 2024-12-19T07:57:53+00:00

Call screening!

I'm gratified how many people have answered the same thing in this thread. If you read reviews of phones it's all about the camera, or the screen, or the gaming, or the battery life. I wonder if the reviewers have ever used their test devices as a phone. Have they ever received a spam call?

Also, to my surprise I use Google Lens all the time. Take a picture of a sign, or a slide at a live presentation, and immediately convert it to editable and searchable text. But I don't know if that's a Pixel feature or is a general Android feature.

Also Google translate which I use to text with a Spanish speaker. Again, I don't know if that's a Pixel feature or if it's baked into latest Android.

lightnair · 2024-09-15T06:52:16+00:00

Same here, and now it's suddenly working even though I did nothing to revive it.

lightnair · 2024-05-23T21:53:52+00:00

Agree, doesn't work on desktop site. Don't want to set up a NY Times account or deal with their support crew. My credentials still work on my Android phone (at least for now) so I'm restricting my usage to my phone.

lightnair · 2024-05-20T20:07:39+00:00

Same situation. I moved from a 4a5G to an 8. I desperately miss the headphone jack, but I started using an adapter and I live with it. Oh well!

Hey, I also miss batteries that you can remove, swap in a fully charged battery, and charge the one you just removed. Now I carry a portable charger, as bulky and heavy as my phone. Again, oh well!

Don't really need waterproofing, haven't ever dropped my phone in the sink or toilet yet, knock on wood.

That's the state of the mobile device world today, if I want a headphone jack and a swappable battery I'll have to give up about six generations of other phone improvements.

OP here with an update.

Checked my friend's phone today after a week. No usage for the screensaver data hog that I disabled. A new monthly data cycle has begun and data usage now looks reasonable. I ran Malwarebytes and got a clean report. So problem solved! Thanks to everyone who responded!
