S22U has been wonderful so far. Never had a Note, but I find myself using the S-Pen almost every day. Averaging about 7-8 hours of SoT. Not the most insane battery life I've ever had (nothing has beat my old Huawei Mate 9 and 20 which would routinely hit 10 hours on LTE), but it's perfectly usable for all day use. No weird glitches to report after 3 weeks. I bought a Spigen Cryo Armor case for it and while I have absolutely zero evidence that it's 'cooling technology' does anything at all...maybe it does? I don't know, I mostly bought it because I thought it looked cool.

Google Home question. Is still no way to separate music volume from other volumes? I'd set a reminder for 9 this evening, which is after my kids go to bed. I have a Home Mini outside their door in the den, and I bet it woke at least one of them up when it yelled out that there's a reminder for me. Alternatively, is there a way to not have the speakers notify about reminders? I've already got my phone and a smart watch.

I'm not using them as a speaker group, at least not intentionally. We play music on one or the other. But reminders (and often timers set via the downstairs speaker) tend to play from both.

So I paired with my car and it worked fine. Battery was low so I had to wait until Android 12 installed. Since then, the car is hosed up. Just shows the phones name in the dash, music plays but no info, and controls don't work. Excellent. Also sucks that they didn't ape the Samsung feature where the phone will unlock after entering the pin without having to press enter. And the fingerprint reader, prob better than the s20 but still flawed and annoying

Hello thread, I am not a smart man and have an Honor 9 lite from a few years ago which is fine for what I use it for. What is not fine however is the Huawei Hisuite back up software which stalls out at 97% done every time and therefore backs up nothing. Is there an alternative to backing this up to my PC? I know I can get cloud apps but I'm happy enough just firing files onto a hard drive for safe keeping. Thank you. *edit: I may have dropped this in the wrong thread, apologies if so.

If the Android updates are fully installed I'd forget the phone in your car's Bluetooth settings and forget the car in your phone's Bluetooth settings and do a fresh pair to see if that helps. You might restart the phone after forgetting the car, too, for the sake of being extra careful.

Is there a trick to getting autocorrect for Gboard to work in secondary languages? Motorola phone on Android 12 if it matters. The right word suggestions seem to pop up in the boxes over the keyboard, but the messed up words I fat finger in are never/very rarely actually replaced with the suggestions shown. Preemptive "don't use Gboard" but I still wouldn't mind a solution here before/while I look into other keyboards. edit: huh, maybe it's just Duolingo not doing it? Seems like it's working in Awful.apk...

So potentially an Android 12 conflict with my aging cars system. I wish it wasn't such an expensive gently caress around to swap out the OEM deck with an Android auto system and retain my cameras and poo poo. My dash mounted cradle was getting lovely, so I picked up another one at Walmart, this one has a bottom piece as well as the two arms on the sides. Of course, can't place the phone down far enough on it because if it's making contact with the bottom then the arm is pinching the volume button  It's a rocky start with this phone. It's nice to still be at 72% after almost 7 hours though. I didn't expect there to be a big difference going to 90hz from 120, but there definitely is, and there's been a few hiccups here and there with the way things are displayed. Based on the wording in settings, I guess it isn't constantly running at 90hz? But I guess that's the price of better battery life

I wish it wasn't such an expensive gently caress around to swap out the OEM deck with an Android auto system and retain my cameras and poo poo. What you're describing as the Bluetooth behavior does match up with what I get in some cars - phone connects, I can play music but can't use the stereo controls to change songs, and song titles don't display. In the cars like this it has been true for me on various phones running Android 9 to 12. My personal solution is to use my smartwatch to control the playback, but that of course requires you have a smartwatch. Other cars have worked more as expected - song title displayed, car stereo controls work for playback, and so on. It could be down to that OEM stereo, and the previous better behavior was a result of it being designed specifically for an older Android version.

codo27, I was having issues with my p6p/android12/crv infotainment. I could hear the audio but couldn't control anything, nor get any information. I forget who, but they suggested changing the AVRCP version to 1.3 (default is 1.5) and that fixed my problems. You have to enable developer mode to get the setting. Once you change it, delete the pairing from both the car and phone and repair. \/\/\/\/ You're the one that told me the fix actually. Thanks again! I've fixed 2 other peoples same issue. Both also Honda. deong fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Mar 19, 2022 |

My wife's Pixel 3 is having an issue seemingly with the power button. It randomly goes into a thing where it starts doing some combination of:
From some research the best thing we can figure out is bashing the power button against a table corner a few times. And, that does help. But it starts happening again, and naturally, we're concerned about what happens if the phone is unattended at the time. Has anyone else experienced this? Or can anyone think of a better solution? Maybe partially disabling the power button somehow?

For the second now in a couple months, my Pixel 5 hasn't really charged on its wireless charging stand overnight. Does anyone have any idea why this might happen? I know you can misalign wireless chargers, but it seems at least very difficult to do with a stand-style charger.

Is the phone in a case? Sometimes cases that don't sit exactly right can hold a button down. Or if it has had juice/soda spilled on it that can cause buttons to stick too. I would back it up, try a factory reset to rule out software glitches, then, if it has no other physical damage on it, contact your carrier to see if they'll swap it out

I think it might have something to do with the charger. I use a standard charging pad, not one of the fancy stands. My theory is that the delayed charging logic to wait until right before the alarm goes off causes the charger to time out and then it doesn't charge at all in the early morning.

I think I disabled the emergency SOS thing but it's hard to say. The menu for that is kind of confusing as it starts with one of those "Continue vs. Skip For Now" splash screens, so I kind of "enabled" it and then disabled it just to have a way of verifying if it was disabled. We'll see if it ever happens again. The phone is usually in a case but I witnessed it happening without one. The carrier definitely won't swap it out, both because it's out of warranty and because we jumped off Verizon onto Fi. So I'm basically hoping the 911 thing just never happens again, and the other stuff can be mitigated with the corner-whack trick. Overall, though, a pretty ridiculous situation.

I got my Carsifi Wireless Android Auto Adaptor this last week. It's well made and works well. It supports connecting to 2 phones at once and you can change which one is active by pressing the button on it 2x. It connects and starts video projecting pretty fast, like with in 10 seconds. It's displaying before I get backed out of the driveway. I did have a couple of small problems, only the first of which was any fault of the adaptor After pairing the device with my phone, I used the carsifi app to look at some settings and somehow got it in a state where I couldn't connect to it, so I unpaired, then when I tried to pair it again, my phone just refused to pair. I tried 4 or 5 times before I gave up and tried pairing my wife's phone which worked on the firs try. As soon as her's paired, mine would pair again too. It's like the device was hung on a failed pairing that it wouldn't turn loose of till I added it to another phone. I haven't had any connectivity issues since this. The other issues are with my 2021 Kia Seltos, not the Carsifi adaptor: The USB port for AA on my car does not turn off when the car is off (at least for multiple hours. So my phone just stays connected to the adaptor forever after I get home and park in the garage. So I took a USB cable that had 2 USB A ends on it for extra power and I picked out the 5v+ pin on the USB connector that had data connections. This way I can connect the power only USB connector to the USB accessory power port in the car that DOES turn off when the car is off. Wham! Problem solved. Or so I thought. So now we go out for dinner and stop at a stop light. The Kia turns off the engine automatically to save fuel, and then starts again when you let off the break. Well it turns out that the USB accessory port blips for just a tiny split second when the engine starts back up. Just long enough for the adaptor to reboot. So I dig out a car 12v power to USB adaptor I have and plug the USB power line in to that. And that FINALLY did the trick. I now have working Wireless AA in my KIA that turns off when the car is off and doesn't turn off when the engine stops to save gass.
