Old Echo in Spotify Connect stuck in Connect & Wake (unable to remove)

Old Echo in Spotify Connect stuck in Connect & Wake (unable to remove)

Deregistered this and reset to factory, but it’s stuck in my Spotify connect telling me to connect to wifi and wake up. Hitting the 3 dots and clicking logout just takes me back to the same list. It will not go away. Any tips on getting this removed from my list?

Emojis not being suggested in predictive text anymore

Emojis randomly stopped being suggested. iOS 26.5. I can manually go into the emoji keyboard and choose them.

I’ve tried spamming about 10 in a row and that makes them come back in predictive text, but only temporarily. I’ve also changed my keyboard to English UK and back to English US. I have toggled off predictive text and back on. I can’t figure out how to fix this and really don’t want to erase/restore.

Any suggestions?

Echo Dot (5th Gen)

Every time I plug in my new Echo Dot, the blue lights fire up and it connects, but then it flashes orange - even though it’s connected and will play music etc. I can get the lights to go away by saying “play notifications”, but it tells me there are no notifications. What are the orange lights for if it’s connected? Anyone else had this issue?

Losartan issues (Would Lisinopril or Telmisartan be better?)

BP typically 146/92 but top can go up to 160-168 at times. Was prescribed Losartan at the end of April, and it got my BP pretty perfect- BUT, I noticed an increase in anxious feelings and more annoyingly, a massive dip in libido (almost nonexistent). I was on it for about a month and a half, then discontinued (my doc ok’d it) to see if that was it, and in about 5 days my libido came roaring back. But now my BP is high again, so I need to get back on something.

Is Telmisartan any different or would that be too similar? Lisinopril a good one to try? Or did I give up on Losartan too early and those things would have self corrected in another month or so?

My main side effects I’m trying to avoid are sexual side effects, fatigue, increased sweating or heat intolerance (I run hot all the time and am already a heavy sweater), and to a lesser degree - hair loss.

Verizon Loyalty (Are we sure?)

I’m hesitant to opt in. Are we 100% sure this won’t impact existing plans or line discounts in any way? Not having activation or upgrade fees is nice. I feel like there’s a catch, but didn’t see anything in the fine print.

Day Drinking

Got the day off - where are some fun places around here for day drinking? Wanted to try Sidecar or Lucky but they don’t open until 5pm. Looking for recommendations for places with fun/chill vibes and good cocktails.

Verizon Cell Service downtown

Yesterday and today, around City Market building area downtown, I have gotten horrible service. I don’t come downtown a ton, is this normal? 1 bar LTE or no service at all while in City Market and Starbucks near Hampton Inn. I’m on a plan with 5GUW. Crazy I get such bad service downtown. Is Verizon just awful here?

Losartan - Mood changes & other potential side effects?

Been on Losartan 25mg once daily for a month now. Have noticed feelings of depression- loss of interest, and overall general fatigue that I can’t seem to kick. Libido has decreased too, which is really unlike me. Finally, have woken up drenched in sweat several nights (I take it before bed).

When I googled, these side effects don’t seem to be common. So maybe something else is going on. But the timing has me curious. Anyone else experiencing side effects like these on Losartan?

Desired Humidity Setting

I have high humidity readings where I live. I do believe it’s showing much higher than it is also. BUT - I have overcool set to 2 degrees and desired humidity set to 60%. However, if my home is 65 degrees, the unit will not kick on even if humidity shows 70%. Shouldn’t it kick on either/or? Since humidity is higher than my desired setting of 60% - why is it not running?

When it does kick on - the humidity will drop 7 or so % after about 5-10 mins, so it works - I just wish it would actually run when the humidity is higher than the 60% I set it at. What’s the point of that setting if it doesn’t do what you tell it to? Or am I missing something?

DMB tonight at Truliant Amphitheater

First time at this venue. I have GA Pit. Can I access the pit from either the left or right side once I get through the main gates? Or is it only accessible from one side - if so, section 1 or 3 side?

THWS Raleigh (Who else is going?)

Got lucky by being 1,700 in queue and scored some solid seats. My 45 year old self is pumped to have physical seats that will be waiting and reserved for me. Did not enjoy the many hours of standing in line, and then standing body to body in GA for the recent NYC show, so this will be a much less stressful and more enjoyable experience for me.

Getting into this venue and parking is always a nightmare, but it is what it is. I’m excited and grateful to be able to attend.

If you frequent this venue - any tips on parking or places to pre game would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m used to being able to switch between apps on my iPhone when I’m on a call. However, when walking the trails with only my watch, if I take a call, I can’t figure out a way to go to a different app. Is this not possible?

I needed to look at my iMessages for something while on a call, but every button I hit kept me in the same screen or only gave me the option to end the call. Watch face just looks like the above no matter what I press or do (edited for privacy purposes).

Looking for others on here to chime in on their experiences with using a non Apple replacement battery. I was in a time crunch and went with a repair shop right up the street from me. Phone seems to work ok but Repair Assistant warning about running and restarting disappeared before I could try to run that, and it never returned. Battery shows Unverified which I guess is to be expected. I also can’t see charging cycle history. Screenshot attached.

Would repair assistant normally run and calibrate a third party battery? Or did it just go away on its own anyway since it was a non Apple battery and thus it wouldn’t have been able to calibrate it anyway?

Just finished the series and it made me wonder, why did the detectives not initially question Lena who was with her the night Cath went missing? It seemed like such an obvious question to ask, but took until season 6 when Detective Thompson finally asked.

Also, I need resolution on what happens to Deran dammit. Still. What an amazing show.
