In the adding credit card process it takes my info, then goes to checking eligibility, then passes that and gets to processing card details, and then a popup comes up that says:

Your card couldn't be added

Please contact your card issuer for more info. You can also try adding a different card."

Then dumps me onto a page that says:

Couldn't finish setting up tap to pay

Something went wrong while setting up your card. Try again or add another card."

I called Wells Fargo, and they say there's nothing wrong on their end.

I’ve just switched from a Samsung S23 to the new Pixel 9, and while I’m excited about the upgrade, I’ve noticed an annoying issue right away. Despite having 12 GB of RAM (compared to the S23’s 8 GB), the Pixel 9 keeps killing apps in the background.

For example, when I play Pokémon Go and switch to a chat app to send a message, I often find that Pokémon Go has been closed and needs to reload when I return. This didn't happen with the same sequence of usage on my Samsung, even with less RAM.

This issue really bothered me on my old Pixel 3, and I’m surprised (and frustrated) to see it still happening on a phone with triple the RAM six years later.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Are there

I was trying to upgrade my Surface Pro 8 with an SSSTC XA1-331024 drive.

The eBay seller actually sent me an SSSTC XA1-3D1024 instead. I didn't figure this out until trying to diagnose why I was having so many problems. It seems like this is a higher end model that supports PCIe 4.0, but I'm not actually finding much about it online. I think it might be the same as the CL4-3D1024, which does have some mentions online, but I'm not 100% sure.

At any rate, it's not working well in my SP8. It blue screened a number of times installing Windows but eventually started. I followed the guides to changing power management settings to make Surfaces stop crashing on PCIe 4.0 drives, and that seems to

I had Surface Pros from the earlier generations.

I found that they had a lot of quirks and glitches that didn't show up in reviews. Like I remember sometimes the keyboard or touchpad would stop responding suddenly until tearing off the keyboard and reconnecting it. Or sometimes the keyboard would act as if I was holding down modifier keys like Ctrl or Win when I wasn't and cause everything to go nuts.

I also had problems like sometimes they wouldn't want to turn on, and I'd have to do a lot of holding power buttons and coaxing to get them to work again. Alternatively, sometimes they would turn on by themselves in my bag, getting hot and draining their battery.

Do these things still happen

I've got a weird problem with incoming calls from Google Voice on my Poco F3. When one comes in, they'll pop up on-screen, and the phone will vibrate in short beats, but no ringtone will sound.

I've tried everything I can think of to debug it. I saw that Google Voice had issues on some phones with playing the notification sound instead of the ringtone sound, but that's not what's happening here. It did made me wonder, though, if this could be some other sort of bug that's happening on Poco phones where it's not correctly finding and playing the ringtone sound.

Apple has a global warranty where you can receive service from any of their local branches. Samsung isn't as clear as Apple, but I also see things online that they try to offer an international warranty.

This wasn't something I had previously payed a lot of attention to, but while overseas, my Pixel's battery swelled up. I purchased my Pixel directly through Google, I am a subscriber to Google Fi (which touts international travel as a key advantage over the competition), and the battery swelled in a country where Google sells Pixels. Despite the Google stars

r/KeePass•

On my previous phone, a Pixel 3 XL, I used KeePass2Android Offline and Autofill worked perfectly.

When I got my new phone, a Poco F3, it automatically restored KeePass2Android Offline when I logged in. However, when tapping on any login field's "Fill with KeePass2Android" button it just flashes and nothing happens.

I tried clearing app data and reinstalling to no avail. I also tried going into the system settings and disabling battery savings and enabling autostart for KeePass2Android Offline, but neither helped.

However, when installing KeePass2Android regular (not offline), Autofill just works.

Pretty weird. Are there any differences between the two app packages that could explain this

On the label on the box with the serial number, the supported LTE bands are listed, which are: 1/3/7/8/28/38/41

GSMArena lists it as supporting: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66

I've seen other people talking about using it on T-Mobile USA, which uses 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, which are all missing from my box label.

What does the label list for other people?
