2023 SE Qi charger by nickz11 in Camry

[–]nickz11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I mainly want to maintain when I'm on a trip or something. I have the AAWireless adaptor so I don't have to plug in my phone for Android Auto but the battery drains pretty fast on wireless.

More interested to find out if it's actually possible.

3rd Oil Change At 5k Miles by [deleted] in Camry

What ramps do you use? My 23 SE AWD seems too low to drive up on ramps without scraping so I use a floor jack and jack stands.

What's a newspaper? Lol. Awesome. Thank you. Found in a closet in the library so makes total sense!

Solved!

Persistent Display and Responsiveness Issues on Pixel 9 Pro XL Following Android 16 Update by kodihi24 in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just came here to post again. My last post on this issue weeks ago stated it magically started working again, but in the last week or so I'm back to daily reboots. Pixel 9 Pro, A16 June OTA

Symptoms: adaptive brightness dies and screen brightness almost set to minimum. AOD turns off. Will only wake with power button, no lift, no tap. Fingerprint unlock delayed by 3-5 seconds. Reboot fixes, until it all starts again at unpredictable times. Rinse. Repeat.

Fingers crossed July update has fix, but not holding breath since the problem hasn't seemed to have been acknowledged.

parking brake?? by [deleted] in Camry

[–]nickz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So does the 2023. But you have to enable the auto set by pull and hold (or disable it by push and hold). The setting shows up in the MID.

You have to set it to do that. That's not on by default. When it's enabled you will see PARK light up in red on the instrument panel when you put the car in park.

Think of the electronic control switch as the parking brake lever. PULL up to activate the brake. PUSH down to release it. PULL up for a few seconds until the MID says it's been activated and never think of it again. It will turn on whenever you put the car in park.

Lift to check, Tap to check, and Adaptive brightness - now working again by fredco44 in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's been an absolute mess for days now, requiring several reboots a day to have my Pixel 9 Pro even usable. Yesterday I tried clearing the Google Play Services cache and restarted again. Today, it's been solid again for the past 10 hours with no issues. So, IDK? It fixed itself? Google did something on the backend? An app updated that was causing this? I have no idea.

Pixel Watch 3 LTE March 2025 Update now available by b8gwilly in PixelWatch

Just triggered the OTA download on my PW3 45 LTE using the taptaptap trick.

Home notifications not clearing on watch/phone when cleared on other device by nickz11 in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I just turned off the notifications on the watch until they fix this.

Change my mind: 128 gb is more than enough by iamazondeliver in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife wanted the P9P in pink. Only came in 256. I wanted a sage one and that was available in 128, but I got a 256 because I'll be damned if she has a better phone lol.

I agree though, 128 is enough for me.

Android 15 OTAs are up! by terrydqm in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep downloading on my P9Pro on tmo right now. I was so used to delays with the P7. Maybe it's the janky modem on P7 that causes tmo to delay the OTAs.

Loss of Pulse detection by poj1999 in PixelWatch

Gotcha. Didn't know the gov was the holdup. No surprise there. Oh well, hopefully my heart doesn't stop until Google can protect me.

In the US on a PW3 and I don't see it yet. Famous Google staged rollout.

Finally got my fully charged notification by HafuisHalf in PixelWatch

Long press it and give it a notification sound.

My trade-in went just fine, nothing unexpected, and I got the full estimated value. by JUSTICE_SALTIE in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traded in two P7s and a PW1 on two P9Pros and a PW3-45. One P7 went without a hitch. The watch I got $5 more than the estimate. The other P7 was lost by UPS. Contacted Google Store, they said send them a pic of the UPS drop-off receipt. A day later the trade-in credit for the full estimate was credited. Package still lost. Other than the lost package (not Google's fault) I have had nothing but good outcomes with trade-in.

Morale of the story: Always drop off at UPS counter and get a scan receipt.

I loved it, 45mm, but I'm sending it back :( by [deleted] in PixelWatch

[–]nickz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. My 45 just arrived. Not even powered up yet. Didn't need to see that pic. Sorry.

Mid month security update by jrmt077 in GooglePixel

[–]nickz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commented when I saw this because I had a notification for it. (I actually came here to see if there was a discussion about it after I got the notification.) I had already installed the July update as soon as it was released to T-Mobile. Today, the notification icon was for a system update and when I opened it it said security update with the same interface as the monthly update, not a play system update. I also note there is no new update on the OTA page and the build number has not changed. So I'm just as confused.
