    Netflix App

    I see my Netflix App was updated automatically on Nov 17. When I run Netflix, it asks for me to choose a google account. When I do, or pick none of the above, it starts to open and then crashes right away. Keeps doing that even when uninstall and reinstall. It doesn't tell me it is...

    low storage

    My device keeps saying "unfortunately this stopped, and unfortunately that stopped" and then rebooting. I managed to get to google play updated and it said "you are very low on storage". Usually my clean sweep prompts for me to remove storage but I guess it hasn't. I can run it manually, but...

    Tabs

    I keep seeming to have more and more open tabs on my Pixel (in Chrome). Any time I go to a new web site it seems to open a new tab instead of just using the one already there. So I may have 60 tabs open. I can close them but wondering whether there is some way to prevent this from happening?

    Screen Mirroring

    I was reading that Google 6.0+ cannot handle screen mirroring. Why is that? It really astounds me that something as technological as Google cannot handle screen mirroring, or right click - copy, etc.

    Transfering more than one contact.

    I have a Pixel (1). I want to upload the contacts to my prius. It appears I have to select a contact, do 'more' and then share to Bluetooth connected to my Prius phonebook. This is fine but I have 100 contacts and it would take forever one at a time. Any way to do a bunch at once?

    Google Maps causing reboot

    Lately, when using Google Maps on this device it has been freezing, going blank and resetting (rebooting). I thought maybe it was just a freak thing, but it happened three times in a row. Usually when I am moving the map around or expanding/contracting the size ratio (pinch). Was there...

    Unable to contact an app provider

    I keep getting SMS messages "Your uber code is xxxxx" where xxxxx is some combination of digits. I get this several times a month. I user Uber to ride but am not a driver. Last time I rode was April. I think someone hacked my account. I went to the app on my Pixel and did a send email but it...

    Battery

    This seems to hapoen only to me. My battery drains 30 or 40 percent per hour. I try to install an app but for some stuoid reason Android does not allow battery monitoring. It did tell me 54% of the battery was used by CPU. Hkw do I find the battery hogs? There is probably stuff running I don't...

    Uber Eats does not work (at least for the Pixel)

    Uber Eats is the most frustrating app. The app doesn't work. All you get is what you see below. You can't set a date or a time or continue or order. Nothing works. There is no way to contact them. Sending to the developer through google play results in email saying you have reached an...

    Galaxy S4

    I recently got a pixel (irrelevant). So I did not use my Galaxy S4 for a while. I tried to turn it on and it did not turn on. I charged it for several hours and it did not work. I figured it was the battery so i put a new one in. It was charged. I charged it more but it would not turn on...

    Phone contacts for google pixel (in phone)

    I recently moved from a Galaxy S4 to a Google Pixel. So say in my contacts I had a Bob Clapp who had a cell phone and home number. In my Galaxy I could enter the first few digits (2527) and Bob Clapp would come up. If I selected it I could then select either mobile or home. In my google...

    Batteries

    I have been doing searches for Google Pixel batteries, as I would like to buy some spare ones (and a charger) but all that comes up is battery cases and battery packs. Has anyone else bought extra batteries? Are they from Amazon?

    Has anyone figured out how to perform a CAPS lock on the Google Pixel? On my old phone, I would hit SHIFT twice but that is not working. I am using the GBOARD that google had me download. Thanks

    App Library

    I recently got a Pixel. I am in the process of installing apps that were on my own phone. I can go to google play and then library and it shows all my apps that I have ever downloaded but have not yet installed on this phone. I want to install a specific one. I know it has the word "fox"...

    Reading ms word (doc x)

    I received a docx file via Yahoo mail. When I try to read it it says it cannot find the application. I had Basic docx Reader installed and I just installed docx reader, neither of which works. I am wondering what I may still need to do? Do I have to save the word file, then open the reader...

    I just got my new Google Pixel. Not sure if it is XL or not? It has 128GB. Anyway, I am using Handcent SMS (NextSMS). I went to notifications for Handcent and selected not to show on lock screen at all. But still, when my phone is locked and I get an SMS it displays and people can even...

    Really two questions

    My galaxy s4 kept overheating. One thing I read said to update all apps. So I used Google Play. It updated some but then said it ran out of space. I may have 700 mb on the phone, but 9gb free on the card and it never seems to use the card for anything even if I try to move apps to it...

    Overheating

    Lately my phone has constantly been "cooling down" and worse "closing apps because it is overheating". Now my phone has started shutting off due to overheating. I guess there is something causing it to overheat. I don't think I have excessive apps. How can you determine what is causing it...

    Help SD card storage

    Whenever an app updates, it goes back from my SD card to my phone storage. I can go through all the apps and click and see which is in phone memory. I was wondering whether there is an app you can download that will show you what is in the phone memory? The app I have shows what is on the SD...

    Help Briefing

    In my old galaxy s4 I had just the calendar shown in my briefing. On my new S4.0 it alternates calendar and news. I clicked on the briefing gear wheel and in "Show Briefing" deselected everything but "Schedule". But anyway, it keeps alternating between news and calendar. I don't want to have...
