New color labels- check your templates

I see Fantastical- at least for the Mac product- has finally added support for Google labels. This is good as the number of category colors has expanded. However, I've found any category label/color saved with one's templates has been removed. So, you'll need to edit/update all your templates to restore the earlier saved color.

Garmin CIRQA and Apple Watch with Bevel?

I'm interested in the Garmin CIRQA Smart Band as an option when not wearing an Apple Watch. Curious if others have employed this strategy and how the dual data sources work with Bevel in terms of being harmonized? I'm currently unclear how the Garmin data gets written to Apple Health- in terms of completeness, etc.- and don't know if the best approach would be for Bevel to (continue to) read just Apple Health data or pull from both and have the ability to discern which one was actually being worn within a particular timeframe and use that output?

Battery reading logic?

Am I missing something with Athlytic's "battery" reading? I found it didn't accurately adjust throughout the day based on my activity (e.g., it would decrease after long stretches of rest) while, for example, other products' interpretation (called "Energy Bank" on one) more accurately reflects what is actually happening in real-time (resting results in this number improving in the short-term). This is a factor keeping me from resubscribing to Athlytic.

New phones- what path?

So as a new US Mobile customer, the ability to get new phones financed for many months through a major carrier is no longer available. Specific to iPhones, Apple offers below average trade-in values but at least there is something (and the phones are unlocked if not tied to a service provider). I don't know if Costco or Sam's Club sells iPhones without a carrier contract, but am curious what others have done- or plan to do- when it's time to upgrade your iPhones?

Issues with getting WiFi calling set up?

I just ported a line over to US Mobile (Warp) and when attempting to provide address information within the WiFi calling settings section on my iPhone, I get kicked out repeatedly and a message appears that I need to visit Verizon's website. This isn't any help as very general information is provided when I'm taken to their website and I, obviously, don't have a Verizon account. What is the trick to get WiFi calling set up as a US Mobile customer?

Transfer PIN confusion

I'm attempting to obtain Transfer PINs for my two phone lines. When I go to My Account/Settings/Line Settings to the area where one can edit their name, usage address, or request a Transfer PIN, the request for a Transfer PIN is missing. I don't find this capability in the T-Life app. I'm currently on a long hold for someone from T-Mobile customer service to help but am curious if this is common when requesting transfer PINs or has this been removed from one's T-Mobile web portal to make it more of a hassle to leave?

Thinking of joining- a couple of questions

As part of the T-Mobile throng assessing future cell phone provider direction, I'm leaning toward going with US Mobile. I'm curious if, once the porting out process is complete and the lines have been established with US Mobile, does the service/one's account automatically get terminated at T-Mobile? Or, does one have to contact T-Mobile and advise them their services are no longer required in order to (hopefully) ensure no more billing might occur?

Also, I currently have a paired Apple watch line. Assume a new watch line # will be generated by US Mobile? The phone line #s would obviously be the same.

And, with respect to the existing two phone lines, is it recommended to port the "non-primary" one first, and then the "primary" one second (in the off chance there are issues with the transition)?

Bitwarden extension with v 8.1 - problem?

Just upgraded to v. 8.1.4087.46 and the Bitwarden extension isn't functional. Specifically, the drop down box when clicking on the extension icon within the Vivaldi bar only shows about 3% of the actual drop down box. As such, the ability to sign in, etc., isn't available. Curious if others are experiencing? I've removed and reinstalled the Bitwarden extension and this doesn't remedy the problem. I opened up Chrome on my Mac and this isn't a problem with that browser- it's isolated to Vivaldi.

For the 55 and older crowd, what are you doing?

I think I've finally landed on what my new pricing will be going from Magenta Max 55+ to the Experience More 55+ plan. Over a 24 hour period chatting with T-Mobile agents I was given conflicting information about both pricing and which plan to which I'd be transitioned but there is now consistency between what I'm being told and what is now being reported in this forum.

Anyway, I'm curious what others in the 55+ crowd are planning to do? Stay with T-Mobile at the higher price point, perhaps make a move to AT&T (I understand they also have a 55+ plan(s)), or consider an MVNO?

▲ 1 r/Ring

Strange issue started today with my Ring Video Pro Doorbell. In the Ring app on my iPhone, the Live View for the doorbell isn't working. Whenever I attempt a live view, it almost instantly goes to the screen "Live View Ended" with the "Reconnect" button below it.

I initially thought it was an issue with the Ring Doorbell itself so I first rebooted the device. I then reset and reconnected the device (removed faceplate, reconnected to the wireless network, etc.). I then restarted my iPhone. Nothin. I then uninstalled the Ring app and reinstalled. No dice.

It was then I thought to check the Ring app on my iPad as well as check the Ring dashboard on my computer. On both of those, things are fine and I'm able to use "Live View" normally for the Ring Doorbell. It's isolated to the Ring app on the iPhone.

Interestingly, the Ring Doorbell shows the periodic live view on the dashboard portion of the app (grid or list view) and appears to be refreshing the live view snapshot every 20 seconds or so- which is normal.

Before reaching out to Ring support wanted to see if others were experiencing/had experienced this issue or if there are other tweaks that might be done to restore a functioning live view for a Ring Video Pro Doorbell in the Ring app on an iPhone.
