Nitrousoxide posted:You don't really permanently pair it with the device. It just uses the low energy BT standard to do an ad-hoc connection, initiated entirely from within the phone's app and forgets it afterward. Your bad phone continues to be bad. But at least you got a sweet user title out of it.

FAUXTON posted:Yep, people keep trying to claim Touchwhiz isn't still poo poo because they allegedly toned it down but the truth is that it's still poo poo. Looking at the latest iteration of it, on the Note 7/Nougat beta, it's very toned down, and indeed still poo poo even after that. Just because someone is saying they've drastically toned it down, which is true, doesn't mean it's also not still poo poo, which is also true.

I got a pixel a while based on this threads recommendation and it's really an incredible device, but I am having a weird issue with it. Apps seem to refresh or reloaded randomly, for example a couple times while reading a thread with Awful it will reload the page. Also does it in Chrome and Instagram. It's a new phone with nothing really installed yet, and I haven't tweaked any settings. Anyone else getting this or have heard of this?

Blue Train posted:Doesn't android lower the volume when you plug in headphones so you don't blow your ears out Android has seperate volume settings for when you have an output plugged in a and when you don't. It's probably returning to the volume setting it had when you last unplugged the headphones.

And when I tried to make the volume back to where it was a warning message would pop up saying that higher volumes could damage my ears.

It seems like there's a notification or something that it's lowering the music for but I don't have any notifications.

No, I mean it will turn the volume down while I'm listening to things until it's inaudible, I'll turn it back up, and it'll do it again ten minutes later

My Pixel will lower the volume of the speaker when I watch YouTube videos. Like every 10 seconds the volume drops to where I can barely hear and then comes back after 2 seconds.

gently caress Whitey posted:Yes Have you tried different headphones? Is it possible that there is some strange interaction happening between the phone and those headphones where the phone thinks the headphones have volume control buttons and VolDown is being pushed? Just a shot in the dark but I don't know what else it could be.

Had a bit of an oddity earlier on my Nexus 7 2013 where it kept demanding a PIN to cast to a nearby device and wouldn't take no for an answer. Rebooting seems to have sorted it, but is this a known thing at all?

Rebooting seems to have sorted it, but is this a known thing at all? Go into the Home app and verify the device you're casting to doesn't have guest PINs turned on. Really though I'm sure it doesn't and in practice Chromecast poo poo just has weird and unpredictable failure states. Anymore I just accept that sometimes they're hosed up in weird ways with no obvious way to reset things.

I bought it unlocked from Amazon directly, not a reseller. I've been on T-Mobile on the $30 nerd plan if that makes a difference.

Have a friends phone, digitizer is hosed and its gone totally black. He wants his texts recovered before he sends it off for warranty replacement, its a S6. Works aside from the screen. Whats the best way for me to recover them? Googling yields a few programs I can try but they dont all look very reputable.

USB file transfer is not allowed  and as I cant see or do anything on the screen...Actually it seems touch is working but its just a black abyss of eternal limbo so its going to take some blind tapping I guess.

codo27 posted:USB file transfer is not allowed My guess is USB Debugging needs to be on, or at least some notification has to be tapped to enable file transfer mode. Your best bet is to get someone with an S6 to walk you through the tapping on their phone I guess.
