pixel 6 spell checker insers random words and characters

It takes much longer to type a short message as the spell checker seems to be second guessing what I am about to text. So have to constantly go back and edit out all the words it changed and inserted.Only option seems to be to turn off the spell check.Can I install a different spell check or use different version of Android,?The side swiping and angle swiping also very annoying and creates problems. If you side swipe to go back while in email it just archives the message next to where you swipe. Can I just get some arrow keys at the bottom of the screen.Seems a lot of half baked attempts to just make it feel different have not been thourougly beta tested with users and bugs worked out.Takes much longer to do things this phone.Probably sending it back.Samsung phone is so much more user friendly.FAILED me. Only good thing is the camera.

Pixel 6 slow charging

My new Pixel 6 came without a charger. So I am using the fast charger from my Samsung A70.The Pixel 6 says 32 minutes left at 98% charged. The A70 would do that in less than 5 minutes on the same charger.I also noticed I was down to 75% after one phone call.This phone is supposed to have a great battery.

"RTC Connecting" on Discord

I recently had to replace the SIM card for my Koodo phone (Xiaomi Mi 8), and now discord voice doesn’t work :(I noticed the issue right away, and tried changing the SIM again, but I still can’t use discord on data. wi-fi is fine, and everything else works (except my Mi Account  won’t reactivate, which is fine). Anyone else experiencing this? any way to fix it?

S20, having problems calling, incoming calls and texts

For the last several months my husband and I have had nothing but problems with our S20, dropped calls, can't call out, not receiving calls and not in our phone history, extreme static on calls, texts showing up hrs or days later.  He is a truck driver and must have reliable service, I'm a stay at home wife with serious health issues and definitely need reliable service.  I live in Selkirk ON and most people out here are having the exact same problems.

Mobile Data not working properly. I can send and receive messages on What's App and Facebook Messenger. Google Maps, the facebook App and webpages won't load.

I live in BC but am traveling in Nova Scotia. Since I landed in NS my mobile data isn’t working properly. I can send and receive messages on Messenger and What’s app but using my mobile data for anything else I get the an error message saying “No Internet Connection”. I’ve restarted the phone several times and confirmed I’m registered on the Koodo network. My phone is showing I’m connected to the network. There are no other errors showing aside from the pop-up error I get when trying to use data.

do I need to let Koodo know that I’ve switched phones?

If if buy the Pixel 6 in full directly from google and put my current sim (pixel 5) into it, do I need to let Koodo know that I’ve switched phones? For example when I log in it shows my current pixel 5 tab so can I just keep paying it down monthly while I’m using the pixel 6? Since I didn’t upgrade with koodo, I don’t think I’m required to pay off my tab in full in order to switch to the pixel 6 that I bought elsewhere, is that correct?Or have I totally misread things?I know if I upgrade to the 6 with koodo I’ll have to pay off the tab first but this is not what I’m doing in this scenario so just wondering what is permitted and how it works. Thanks,

Popup of word 'Koodo" on phone screen during unlock

When I unlock my phone, the word ‘koodo’ is in the top left corner, blocking my view of my notification icons. I cannot find anyway to disable this popup. It persists for about 5 seconds, which sounds tolerable… but it isn’t. When you want to quickly glance at your phone and see if you have a message or reminder and you have to stare at the word “Koodo’ for several seconds… it is extremely frustrating. I am looking for instructions on how to disable this advertising that I did not consent to. Thanks! =)My phone is Android. It is a Moto G Power 2021.

Calls not coming in

A couple days ago, a friend called me, I answered and there was no sound at all. I called them back, and they told me they had actually called several times but it said I wasn’t available. My call log shows no history of any calls coming in except the one I answered. Then today, I got a voicemail without my phone ever ringing, it was from a salon confirming my appointment, so I know I’ve received calls from them before. Once again, my call log shows nothing, and yet somehow I got a voicemail from them. I did get a phone call earlier today that seemed fine. This is concerning since I’m waiting for important calls, what if I miss them and will never have known because it doesn’t even show that someone called in my call logs? I hadn’t noticed any problems before just these last few days. I’ve tried restarting my phone after the incident with my friend, but it seems to be still happening. I have good coverage, always full bars, both times were just in my apartment, nothing new. Any idea ho

Phone broke, switching sim to new phone, do I get charged my full tab bonus?

Hi,  My phone broke, I need to take out the sim card and put it into a new phone I just purchased unlocked from google. Will I get charged my tab and tab bonus because of this? I'm not doing an upgrade or canceling, this is pretty much the same as BYOD (bring your own device) so I assume I will still get my monthly tab balance and tab bonus reduction. I had a pixel 5 that I bought on contract (tab) from koodo, it broke. I know i have the tab bonus so I didnt want to upgrade and pay the remaining balace, so I bought a new phone directly from google to replace it. Will I get charged by koodo for doing this? Can someone confirm?

My iphone keeps disconnecting my wifi at home

My iphone12 mini keeps disconnecting my wifi at home and when I try to reconnect it keeps telling me I have an incorrect password.  Whereas the password is definitely correct.  I keep having to reset my network settings to reconnect and that doesn’t always work either.  I’ve gone over my data limit for the month because of this!  And I had the same issue with an Iphone 10 that I traded in because of these issues and now the same thing is happening again!  Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Loud Tone on ZTE Home Phone Hub

I have been having an issue when answering incoming calls from different people, using both landlines and cell phones.  We get a loud set of tones, making it impossible to hear the callers.  Occasionally we do not have this issue, however, it appears to be occurring more often.  Outbound calls do not seem to be affected by this issue.  I have tried a complete reboot of the system, removing the battery and unplugging the unit.  We have a wired phone and a wireless phone attached to the home phone hub and the issues has occurred on both phones.  The home phone hub is getting good reception where it is located.  Looking for any input to rectify this problematic issue.Thank you.
