Google store coming soon to Houston!

I was just at the galleria mall here in Houston and saw they have a Google store under construction. Finally they get one here, I've only been to one physical google store location and that was in Santa Monica, CA. I know they have them in big cities like NYC, Boston and I think Chicago. Hopefully they build more so people won't have to order online all the time and hope their package isn't an empty box.

Anyone's sleep score working?

Mine hasn't worked for over a week now, just looking for a yay or nay to see if I need to investigate further or if it's a Google health app issue. (Pixel watch 5)

These bands are super comfortable

Just bought some new ones. I already had the nylon ones in the second pic but I bought these new nylon ones and these are even more comfortable! Probably my new favorite. Both are comfortable though but these other ones just take it a step further. If you are looking for cheap bands, buy these.

Sleep score not recording

My sleep score hasn't been recording the last several days. I'm wearing the watch the same as I always do and it's been snug on my wrist, it calculates everything else with no issues. This just started happening the last 4 or 5 days, anyone else?

Dj turner contract

How do y'all feel about the D.J. Turner contract? Do you feel we should pay big money for a cornerback? I kind of do, but on the other hand, I can kind of see why we couldn't or wouldn't want to. Sometimes when you pay the corners, it doesn't work out. Of course, there are instances where it does work out as well. But I look at how the Chiefs run their team, and anytime a cornerback is up for a contract they trade them, like Sneed last year and McDuffie this year. They don't pay cornerbacks. Also, Sauce Gardner traded one year after his extension. What do you guys think?

Went from 4lte to 5lte. I can feel the difference

​

Although I usually upgrade my watch every year, I wasn't planning on it this time. I went with it just because my Pixel Watch 4 battery was inconsistent and only lasting me 24 hours these last 3 months, so I decided I might as well upgrade and hope this battery stays consistent a bit longer.

Surprised I feel how much faster it is, from unlocking it with my pin to Gemini responses it just feels a little more snappier. I can't wait to try new features coming next month but I'm liking the create a watch face feature. I asked to create a "Cincinnati Bengals" watch face and it gives you options but I chose this. Although I prefer at least 7-8 complications so I won't use it often but I'll switch it up from time to time. Also, could be just me but seems like the speakers are a little louder.

And yes I wear the crown on the opposite side. When I workout it would always have accidental touches, so I don't like wearing it towards my wrist.

My switch-a-roo

So I have a 9xl and a 10 pro fold, the fold is my primary usually. I was going to just trade-in my 9xl for the 11xl but I plan to trade in the 10 pro fold for the 11xl and then sell my 9xl on swappa for about $450-500 and get the OG fold.

I do want to go back to a slab as my everyday phone as I mainly use the fold for media consumption, very rare multitasking. I always have 2 phones so it's pointless to have 2 slabs, so I feel better with a cheaper fold and use that as my secondary.

I have to use my slab whenever I know I'm going to be taking a lot of photos and videos anyways. I went to Japan and Thailand in may for a month and just used my 9xl the whole time because the photos and video are way better. I felt bad not being able to use a nearly 2k phone to its full capabilities.

I will get $1,000 for my 10 pro fold and $200 store credit, plus I have a $150 coupon so I feel it's best to get that deal. OG fold on swappa is about the same price my 9xl is going to sell for so I figure that's a good swap.

I never had the OG fold before but is it good for my use case? I won't daily drive it, but maybe use it sometimes. Does it still get updates?

2 features exclusive to the PW5

I was curious of what features we would get on the pixel watch 4, so I asked Gemini and it looks like we will get everything but the at a glance feature and A.I. watch face creator.

What's your sound settings?

I have the gt-line and listen to hip-hop and r&b, curious to know what everyone's settings are. I know everyone's ears are different and preferences are different. I did a lot of adjustments including sitting in the 2nd and 3rd row as well to see what sounds best and this is what I use.

Sexy dexy dance in the game? Maybe?

I don't remember seeing this before. This kind of looks like the dance but kind of off 😂

PW 4 LTE only lasting a day.

My pixel watch 4 is still only lasting a day when it used to last 2 days. It drained 22% overnight while in bedtime mode. This is my second watch and it's still doing the same. I have set it back to factory settings, made sure no apps are running or updating in the store but nothing has been working. This has been going on for about 3 months now, I'm not sure what is going on.

Has anyone else had this problem that can help?

Switched to zone 2 training, hard to hit calorie goal

So I changed my workouts recently from HIIT to zone 2 type to change to fat burning and lower my RHR. Also, I already have anxiety and difficulty sleeping and I think HIIT workouts made it worse. Anyways, I'm just trying something different.

First off, trying to stay in the moderate zone during weight lifting and treadmill incline is difficult lol. So when I switched to zone 2 workouts I decided to count my calories as well. At least for a month or two and see how things go. I do notice I'm not as hungry as when I did HIIT and although I didn't count calories at that time, I'm sure I was going over as I was eating a lot more.

The problem is now I'm not as hungry and it's difficult to hit my goal now. Two days ago I was 800 under and yesterday I was 1,400 under. Yesterday I did do a workout and washed the car so I burned over 4k calories so of course my watch (pixel watch with Google health app) calculates all that and requests more calories.

I wasn't hungry much but I still ate 3 good size healthy meals and snacked on fruit and nuts but it wasn't enough. I feel like I have to eat a burger or a few slices of pizza to hit my goal.

Any suggestions?

I'm 43 yo, 6'3" 235 lbs. I'm not trying to lose much weight but can lose some abdominal fat and build a little more muscle. (Which I might not lose weight since those things might cancel each other out but lose inches I guess). Again, mostly trying to lower my RHR, better sleep and reduce anxiety along with toning up.

Notifications won't wrap around

Any way to fix this? Notifications cut off most of the words and if I bring up my keyboard to text someone back I can't see the words that I'm texting because the keyboard cuts it off.

u/Particular_Tomato161 — 3 months ago

Not sure if this is only a fold issue only...

A lot of notifications are cut off or blocked by the keyboard. Is there a way to fix this?

Trying to keep my HR in the moderate zone is difficult

I'm 43 y.o, 6'4" and 235 lbs. Long story short I've been trying to switch up my workouts from HIIT (I also do HIIT style when weightlifting) and treadmill incline walks which target vigorous and peak HR zones to exercising where I keep it in the moderate zone. From research this will target more fat burn as high intensity takes from glycogen storage. I'm trying to target more abdominal fat but otherwise I'm just trying to maintain. Also, I've been trying to get my RHR down and sleep better. I think the high intensity has had an effect on those things, especially since I do them often.

But trying to keep my HR in the moderate zone is more difficult than doing high intensity workouts lol. Weight lifting is impossible to not spike up into the vigorous zone, treadmill I feel like I'm doing nothing with the incline at 8 and speed at 2, and I try to modify the HIIT exercises to slow it down and take longer breaks but 10 seconds in I'm already hitting the vigorous zone. I know walking is good but I'm in Texas and it's too damn hot for that. My HIIT workouts are bodyweight at home.

Any ideas on what to do? I just tried a HIIT workout at home and what usually takes 30 mins, took me an hour because I had to wait until my heart rate went down. I feel lazy trying to keep it in the moderate zone.

For context, I have a pixel watch and I have it set to vibrate when my zone changes and it sets your zones off my personal heart rate history, sleep, RHR etc. My moderate is 115-134.

TLOU 2 and season 2..also this game is looooong 😂

I'm trying to beat it so I can watch last of us 2 tv series. This game is never ending, probably the longest game I ever played. I did the first half on normal but I put it on easy after that for the next quarter, looks like I still got ways to go. Even on easy this is taking a long time to beat, if this was on normal I wouldn't beat it until next year 😂

And what In the love triangle is this story?! Not one but TWO love triangles is crazy lol. I'm enjoying the game though although I don't really care for Abby's story much but just trying to get through this. I'll beat it again another time on normal. These Scars are annoying to deal with and very difficult at times. (On normal) I don't see how people play on the most difficult level, I don't even want to think about how long that will take me.

I'll be honest I'm not the greatest at these games and half the time I'm getting lost and have to go to YouTube or ask Gemini what to do and where to go.

Part 1 I liked the story more but part 2 is more dynamic I think.

How does the last of us 2 video game go with the show? I know season 1 was pretty similar but I heard mixed reviews on season 2, not sure if that's because it doesn't match up with the game or not.
