  • I’m happy with my choice to upgrade…

    The AI stuff is gimmicky of course but for basically questions Gemini is doing ok (quickly getting torque specs for bolts) will out in the garage seems improved over “assistant”.

    Battery life has been good after finding a stupid app that was running in the background killing it!!







  • I did go into developer settings last night and disabled the audio sync. “Disable absolute volume” and that didn’t seem to change anything. (I did not try to raise the volume on my buds after I was at max on phone though)

    I’ve never noticed this ‘issue’ before. However I realize I did just copy a bunch of crap to this phone, install updates, etc… I’m also having some weird tasker behavior where it is randomly crashing. That was actually the driver of the reboot this morning as I had updated/toggled some permissions that didn’t seem to be sticking.

    Responding to my own post… It was like midnight when I ‘discovered’ this, and this morning I decided to reboot my phone and then try again. The audio seems normal now. 🙄 I will be paying attention to this close now.

    Wondering if there’s any setting that adjusts the max volume (like night mode). I wish I had tried before rebooting, but I was just drinking my first cup of coffee haha.




  • I’d like their upper watches to have some more smart features, but not at the expense of battery life.

    My Fenix has NFC payments, it gets notifications. Holds music/podcasts so I connect headset directly to it.

    But reading and responding to notifications is clunky.

    Still, for me Garmin is the way to go.

    I got a pixel watch 2 last year when I bought a Pixel phone and tried wearing it. Loved the extra smart features but couldn’t stand the battery life. Just a non starter for me
