Oh I love that wallpaper. Mine for the winter is currently Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.
I’m going to have to try to take a deeper dive later on my two factor issues as I’ve tried the suggestions but it’s still not working right. Their website and app don’t even recognize and store my request to not ask for two factor authentication from my Pixel or my iPhone.
At this point, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to send my phone in for another reason as well. Samsung insists the phone has to be dropped off at a FedEx shipping center. They specifically say absolutely no drop off centers are to be used. It has to be an actual shipping center.
At this point, I have felt comfortable only driving to and from school, which these days is a straight shot on one road, if there are no accidents causing detours. I have not been able to secure an appointment with my physician (Omicron has just hit big here and closed our school early for the winter break) and so I still have a problem with one eye. I am following the video doctor’s protocols but the whole mess is too complicated to explain here. Suffice it to say, I don’t want to be trying to follow navigation directions and navigate holiday shopping traffic right now.
There are numerous drop off points I can make it to easily, but as I said, Samsung explicitly specified it HAS to be dropped off at a FedEx shipping center and the nearest one to me is a pain to get to at the best of times, let alone now.
I’ve made some oblique comments about what an expensive Christmas this is and my husband has made some oblique comments that we can afford it. He got a better (though more demanding) job a couple of months ago, so it’s probably ok I don’t make this trade.
I just hope Samsung doesn’t shut off the new product remotely. They said that on their site that they could do that when I bought it, regarding the trade in not being fulfilled. But I did get an email from them about the trade in that indicated if I changed my mind about the trade that I can keep my phone and they will just charge me the difference.
Another complaint: they don’t have extended holiday return policy. The return deadline for “the thing” I bought is Christmas day! I’m so frustrated and displeased with them right now.
I do thank everyone for trying to help me. I’m sorry for interrupting the Pixel discussion.
As far as Stormy the Pixel 6 Pro goes I’m still enjoying it. The battery seems to go down faster now when I’m using it but it’s not alarming or anything like that. On standby, it’s been fantastic.
I wish I did have a small version of this phone for when I go sledding this winter. I don’t think I’m going to try to put this phone in my snow suit pocket! It’s going to have to be the Xr or I may even make a quick day’s use of the iPhone Mini just for the camera.
Okay I am going to try and catch up on all the posts I missed. Lol I was not expecting for the holiday break to start so early and have kids to deal with already.
