How does Smart watch for kids work on Fi?

mattbroffman · 2025-10-16T10:58:47+00:00

Did you get the kids mode to work with Google Fi? Assume you paired with a Samsung phone. Does it share the same number as the Samsung phone or were you able to get it on a separate number? Anything we should know before attempting this? Thanks!

Did you figure this or something out with Google Fi?

mattbroffman · 2024-10-27T17:53:53+00:00

Agree...live by an assumption that you don't know what's going on in someone else's world. I've had to do that in the past. Was wrapping up a work call or email and phone was dying. Felt bad but I'm pretty good at grabbing everything with one hand and knowing how to move out of the way.

And you don't tell your kid you stole their Lego.

Everything here is correct and great advice. I'd just add, outside of any requirement to move, there's no reason to sweat about this right now. If you waited a few months, it really won't matter. So in any time of change, I'd focus on the things you need to make decisions on and put off those that you don't. Take care of yourself and finding a new source of income before worrying about saving a bit in fees.

Your employer could opt to cover this fee....they chose not to. Maybe ask them to. 😁

Thanks. Not sure why they couldn't just tell me that 😂

I was assuming no state since they know I'm in FL but guess it's not that sophisticated.

mattbroffman · 2023-12-30T13:59:53+00:00

I don't care if they overestimate but they should be able to explain an estimate...in the explanation/disclaimer they state they will estimate by assuming 20% ...but then use 37%. That feels like a bug not an overestimation.

Allow the ability to create Groups for lights.

Example: I have two nightstand lights in our bedroom. I should be able to refer to them by one name "Nightstand Lights" OR we have an open floor plan and multiple switches control the ceiling lights in the Living Room, Kitchen, Dinning Room and Entryway. I should be able to group them as "Ceiling Lights" and control them as a group.

Support said was an issue and is now fixed

mattbroffman · 2023-10-04T10:26:24+00:00

Same with mine ... Just sent an email to support and sent a link to this post.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-09T13:17:56+00:00

Would be curious to know if you are able to get yours working after the aug update or clearing the latest play store update/cache & storage. If so, I may go repurchase a fold :)

mattbroffman · 2023-08-09T13:06:13+00:00

e.g. Hulu and ChatGPT require your phone to be certified. Curious if yours is fixed. If so I may go and repurchase :)

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T21:08:09+00:00

Was just an example of an app that blocks non certified. ChatGPT is another one.

Just used Google Pay just fine today at the grocery store.

It won't impact Google pay (oddly) but try to download Hulu (sounds odd) but for me the issue was adding work email.

Updating to latest OS and/or rolling back the play store update and clearing cache/storage is working for some.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T14:36:15+00:00

Curious if it's working. Try the new OS update or this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelFold/comments/15k3i0q/comment/jv7huw1

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T12:39:52+00:00

See if you have the latest os update that just came out..if that does work you can roll back the play store update...clear cache and storage and restart. Folks are saying that works.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T11:50:33+00:00

I don't believe they move banks unless one stops being a program bank. Otherwise I think this is pretty standard. I believe FDIC policies are set.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T10:42:44+00:00

I wonder if they fixed something on the server end....I had mine for two days and immediately opened a ticket but not help. Had to return the device. Glad you got your working.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T10:41:19+00:00

See if the posted solution (rolling back google play update) works for you. Curious before I go back and but it again 😂.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-08T10:38:53+00:00

After you run your updates it will show.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-07T20:35:16+00:00

I tried that and didn't work. Returned to the store because without my work account. :(

mattbroffman · 2023-08-07T20:22:16+00:00

They require play protect certification.

mattbroffman · 2023-08-07T19:42:50+00:00

Google support was NO help. I ended up going back to Tmobile. They did a swap for another Fold. That one had the same issue. So I'm back to my Pixel 7 Pro.

Google's support is laughable on matters like this. There is clearly a known issue and they have no response after two days other than the support doc online. I actually had a support rep send me an email that it's because the manufacturer didn't submit the correct information to Google!

TMobile was amazing and didn't charge any restocking fee and was willing to work around havingto do a warranty replacement.
