Lowen SoDium posted:I just learned that you can't use Google Assistant on your phone to turn on or off smart outlets if the phone is locked. I admit it's a bit annoying, but I guess it also makes a bit of sense. Your phone may not be in your house (or in your possession), but it can control those outlets and other devices from anywhere it has an internet connection. At least with smart speakers, it's much more certain that they're in the house, or at least somewhere you chose to put them, if they're on your account and have an internet connection.

Nitrousoxide posted:I have an Android phone and an iPad and there are things I like and dislike about each platform. Notifications on Android are a lot better. Smart home controls are more easily accessible in iOS. I like the built in email app on iOS a lot more than on Android. The automation you can do with "shortcuts" is extremely rad in iOS, and the fact that you can pipe it into the "share" function of the os means you can expand the functionality of apps (like you can add the ability to upload to imgur which is missing from the iOS version of Awful). People with Pixel knowledge, I still hate my OP7T but realized the 5A is about the same size and I'd really rather have a smaller phone. Enter the Pixel 5. One less year of guaranteed software updates though, does it really just end in October 2023 or what has been the track record on still receiving updates after the official last date? I'm guessing no dice but never hurts to ask.

The update to 12 was the last monthly update I've received. I did get a security update yesterday, which there was talk about it getting one more update to fix bugs from the new version, so maybe that's what that was. Otherwise I'm not expecting any more official updates. I'm basically just waiting until the free original quality photo uploads ends next month, then figuring out if I want to move up to a 6.

Got my Bellroy Pixel 6 case today. Feels nice in the hand and feels more slim than the official case. I like that there is no bottom lip so using swipe navigation on the bottom doesn't hit the case at all. Feels lighter weight too. The edge doesn't stick up as much so I'm a bit worried about putting it face down, and the buttons feel a bit stiffer/less clicky.

I have currently an app called QuickScan on my iPhone to scan my poo poo, like bills and what not, into PDFs and store them to my NAS. The app allowed me to set a default location via the iOS save file dialog. Now I just scan, hit the save button (without further input) and presto, it's saved to my NAS. I am probably going to get an S22, so it'd be nice whether such a thing is possible on Android.

At least half the time I set a timer in the kitchen (i.e. within 15 feet of the downstairs home) the upstairs one will get the timer instead, or sometimes even both. So when it goes off, I have to holler upstairs at that one to stop the timer.

They are much firmer than the jeans looking case I had for the 3A. I don't know if they got broken in or I'm just used to them but I don't notice them now.

Hi I'm having a weird networking issue and this is the only place I could figure to ask. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I have a Samsung A71 and am getting a "No Signal" on it. I am not receiving calls or texts. Now this has happened every once in awhile, but a quick reboot will fix it. However, that has not worked. Neither has reconnecting to my network (t-mobile). However, I still have access to LTE and my WIFI. This is all fairly normal. Here's the weird part: If I make a call - say to my voicemail - then I suddenly connect to the network and receive all my texts and I can send them, too. As soon as I hang up it goes back to No Signal. I've reconnected to my network multiple times. Rebooted multiple times. The "No Signal" icon won't go away. Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty good at tech stuff, but phones are a weak point. Cartridgeblowers fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jan 15, 2022 |

Heads up - installed the update, and noticed my 6 Pro immediately connected to 5G after restarting. Except I had switched to only LTE preferred for improved battery life. Sure enough, it had switched back to 5G on when I went into the settings.

Is Nova launcher still the go-to close to stock launcher? I basically just want the stock pixel launcher, but with a 6x7 app grid on a Pixel 4a 5g. I had been using Lawnchair, which has been great, but the main release is going on 4 years old now (they have an alpha channel with updates, but this is my main phone, so no thanks), and some bugs have popped up that make it very annoying to use (the big one being the google search bar has become a voice search).

Of course, if that is the case, you could turn off always listening. It's just really frustrating that I can tell Google to play a song on a speaker, but I can't tell it to turn on a lamp. It's things like this that keep me from using it much.

Have you tried resetting your network settings? That's helped me before. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Or, you could try a carrier reset through phone code ##72786# (entered on the dialer app).

If you are on 12 look under the network internet settings for SIMS, then Access Point Names and then the three dots to reset names. I find I have to do that about once a year on t-mobile for some reason.

There are only 3 carriers in the US: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. All the other cellphone companies are mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), meaning they have their own customers and policies, but have to use one or more of the major carriers to actually provide service.
