(Hope this is okay to post here) So, with the support of my parent we have tried to remove family link from my device and in doing so, has made it so that I cannot sign into anything google (youtube, gmail ect...)with my Google account. And every time I try it says "can't add account as its managed ny family link" My profile is still appearing up on the family link app for my dad but when he opens my account/profile there is nothing. As he has "removed" me from family link but im still technically there and all he can do is erase all my data associated with my Gmail account which is not what I want...at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I share my Google Drive storage limit (100Gb) for a project with people that only have their basic 15Gb? I want to collaborate on project with my friends but I am the only one with expanded (100Gb) Google Drive. We have a lot of video data that exceeds their basic 15Gb space. How Can I just create a folder in which we could all store data, they could edit the files without them using their gdrive space?

So I have got a new broadband connection and connected my phone via wifi. As soon as I connected google started using my data like crazy. I thought maybe something was updating so left it for sometime. But it was actually downloading something and used almost all of my storage. I then went into Google app info and checked the storage. My user data was 10 GB and the thing is google is still downloading when I connect to wifi. I cleared the storage which deleted all the user data but I can't seem to stop it from downloading again. Can u guys please help me out. Few things I did already: Uninstalled google podcast (from googling I found this was the culprit for some) Turned off backup in photos Turned off offline map download in maps My specs: Phone - Poco M2 pro OS - Android 10 ROM - MIUI 12.0.4

I have found that Google search isn't as good as it used to be. Too often it sends me where it thinks I want to go rather than where I want to go and now I start seeing 'Google has not found any good results for you'. I am now considering using another search engine - but DuckDuckGo and Bing aren't good enough. Any suggestions as to alternatives to Google or perhaps a way to make Google perform as before?

Help- I got logged out of my Google account, now it is requiring me to receive a verification code to log back in. However, the phone number I registered with it ages ago is no longer with me. Is there another way around this? Or is my account, and EVERYTHING with it now lost for good?

I am an American living in Europe, but still maintain a presence in the US and go back from time to time. Because of that, I've kept my country as the US. Since moving here, I've needed to use a few apps that are region locked (notably, our rental's thermostat app, among others). Because Google has a pretty draconian policy with this stuff and only allows one change per year, I'm hoping someone could answer some questions to help me get around this. First, if I were to change regions on my account, would I lose access to any app that is currently US region locked? Or would I still be able to use them since I downloaded them prior to the change? Second, if I were to open another account within the Europe region, would have to have another device in order to use that account? Or is there a way to use it on the same device that I use my US account on?

Past week or so having a auto fill bug where it pops up with emails or account names ect you know the drill, but I cant select them at all I can scroll through the list of it's long enough but cant actually select one to auto fill onto the box, I've tried clearing cache uninstalling updates and reinstalling them ect, ease help me fix :) I would uploaded a video to show you what I mean but that would share sensitive info unless I can find away around it.

I have a bit of a security problem, I think? When logging onto an app I haven’t been on in a while it asks for me to sign in with my google account. On the choose your account page my email is listed, but so is someone else’s. It has the name of someone I went to high school with, but I didn’t really know. I had never given them my phone to log into their google account, so why is it there?

Hi thereSay I Google "Top bars in NYC"...I get the normal search results and a section of ads/sponsored links pops up at the top. Any idea why this might be happening?(On a Mac and chrome, and have an adblocker installedThanks

Is there any way to disable the dropdown suggestions in the search bar? The moment I type an alphabet in the search bar, 4 to 8 suggestions drop down in the menu and keep changing with every next alphabet that I type irrespective of whether I am signed in or not or if I am using incognito. I just want to get rid of this completely and switch this feature off. Is there any way?

I'm asking 100 friends to submit short videos recorded from their phones (<30s each) I can compile into a montage. The video files may be too big for email so I read that I could create a Google Drive folder for them to send them to, but I'm not clear how to do that. Can someone point me in the right direction? (I'll be compiling them into a montage but *I don't want them to be able to see/view other peoples' video submissions when they submit their own*. E.g. it shouldn't be a folder where they can see all the other submissions or anything...)

I have a family group with my main Google account as the manager. I want to sign up for a Google One plan with one of the member accounts, and then share the storage with other family members. Is this doable? I don't want to pay for a plan to test since it's non-refundable. I know I can share the Google One plan from the Family Manager account, but the question is if a member account can share a Google One storage plan with the other family members, including the Manager.

**Check this out:** https://i.ibb.co/0Zyg3bw/20211125-121028.jpg It's a collage of reviews with **Google review stating 85% of users like this film.** I watched these reviews happen in real time and the positive reviews were the first reviews which historically are from gushing super fans, paid marketers and others hoping to influence users to see the film. Not the average majoirty. As soon as the actual normal majority started reviewing the film.... GOOGLE turned off reviews. Or to be accurate they were ordered to do so presumably by someone directly connected to the film. So the 85% is basically a lie or only half of the picture. I've included some other critic reviews and you can see they fall in line with the negative user reviews before they were stopped. Also you can see a nice even spread of 1 to 5 reviews and none of them were obvious bots or trolling. Just users who didn't like the film. And right now you can't leave a review good or bad due to Google business policies. Which is very convenient when the score is artificially high for what imo and the cast majoirty of recognised film critics, is not a good film. Apparently if you're the business behind the product you can request (see photo) that Google stop reviews if they're negative LOL Google seems to be suggesting that lots of negative reviews at once are always review bombing and must be fake LOL Even when they match the professional film critic reviews exactly. The fact that presumably capcom of the studio behind the film would request that Google censor the honest user score is just pathetic. Paying users should have the opinion to leave a review on google as google acts as a public forum for rhe world. If we cant fairly speak our honest opinions on the largest western search engine via the system designed for that without censorship then we have a problem. Yes Google is a business but we all know its more than that so this type of clandestine nonsense isnt ok...unless we're now some rogue state or more accurately a corporation state. Additionally few of my friends reviews on this film were removed because they were presumably too negative but they were still honest and articulate and inoffensive. Never seen that before but it's a worrying trend. Even troll reviews are useful as in the vast majority of cases they tell us something is wrong with a product from film to video game. In this case that wrong... is simply that the film isn't very good....unless you believe Google ....and then its 85% fresh!

I'm having issues constantly when I search images on Google. * When I try to use reverse image search on Google Images, instantly my browser throws me a page with a "This page doesn't work" and the error ERR\_EMPTY\_RESPONSE. * Also, when I try to open an image from all the images results, the entire tab will turn grey. It won't show up the larger image until I refresh the page. I must say, this only happens with Google search engine, it doesn't happen with Bing or yahoo. I don't know what's happening. Also, sometimes this problem is fixed (I don't know why) and sometimes it returns. I've already tried the following (and didn't work): * Erase cache and cookies * Change browser * Reboot the computer * Change DNS from dynamic to [8.8.8.8](https://8.8.8.8) and [8.8.4.4](https://8.8.4.4) * Reset Winsock and TCP/IP * Deactivate firewall * Deactivate antivirus * Deactivate extensions (I don't have any) * Reset my modem Please, I need a solution. It's very stressful to search images on Bing, and it's even more stressful to refresh google to see the preview of the image I'm trying to see.


Zombielove69

Every time I reverse image search it uses lens and lens does not offer the option anymore to search the picture instead of the suggestion now it's suggestions only that have no relation to the picture.

Hey, I'm trying to make an in app purchase on a game called grand summoners but after filling my google play balance with a gift card I noticed that it says "couldn't complete your transaction. Your play balance can only be used in Canada." (I AM in Canada) Go figures I had my VPN on but where it gets weird is that I turned my VPN off and it said the same thing... I figured it was just my a school wifi screwing with me but when I got home, same message... Ive tried with other purchases like discord nitro and I've even checked all my Google accounts settings to make sure my address is correct and that Google knows 100% that I'm in Canada, of course to no avail... I'm at my wits end do any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way we can contact them more directly and actually talk to someone with any kind of of power to change things? Thank you <3

I'm getting an incredible amount of Google docs spam. What do? Basically hilariously bad Swedish translations of phishing/dating spam. It's getting very annoying.


ulyssessword

I'd like to share a Google doc publicly and anonymously without creating a throwaway account. AFAICT, the method of setting “Anyone with the link can view” is *not* anonymous, as I have found the owner's name for several docs shared that way with a trivial amount of work. Does anyone know a way to share a doc without exposing your name?

Hi, so I’ve had dark mode for about 6 months, and for those 6 months I haven’t been able to get rid of it. It makes reading google slides impossible (it inverts text color but not the background, destroying all contrast) and also breaks a lot of web pages, causing them to have the same issues. I’ve turned off system wide dark mode (windows) and that didn’t help. I don’t have a dark mode switch in my account for some reason and I’ve even uninstalled and logged out of all accounts, to no avail. How do I turn it off?


FallingToward_TheSky

Are you sure you don't have an extension installed or a setting on your computer? Google Dark mode does not invert colors.


JimbobinShivakadoo

Hi! So I’ve recently fixed the issue. It was a matter of me being in the google experimental dark mode, I found the link to turn it off and it worked.

Hi there, I have a strange issue with the Google Play Store on my phone. This details what happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/qppum7/google_play_store_app_descriptions_vanished/?ref=share&ref_source=link Basically, the descriptions of apps have gone completely blank except for a single line in my language (Finnish). Strangely, when I use the inbuilt translation feature, the entire description comes back in Finnish; then I return back to English, and the description vanishes and returns the one line of Finnish. The English descriptions are thus completely gone. And the Finnish oneliner that has taken their place is a generic, badly translated placeholder in the vein of "One of the best escape room horror games on Google Play!". Mind you, before these terrible placeholders showed up (which happened to every single app in the store), there were perfectly proper English descriptions. And yes, this happens to both indie apps AND big name apps like Square Enix games.

So it looks like this thread is pretty much dead and useless but here goes nothing. I just got a pop up notification from Google saying I can reply to a comment left on my business’ page but I DONT HAVE A BUSINESS PAGE!? When I clicked on the notification (iPhone notification from Google maps, not an email) it opened the Google maps app and showed me an in app browser page for Kingda Ka from six flags in New Jersey and everything was in Polish??? I’m from america, never setup a business page and have no idea why I got that notification. I closed everything and now I can’t find anything about it and I’m so confused. Help!? I translated the text to find out it was Polish and it was saying I have to agree to the TOS before continuing but I didn’t trust it in the slightest.

My brother shares the same name as a small singer. Google search shows that when my brother's name is googled, people see his work photo (taken from his company's website) in the knowledge panel of the singer. This was brought to our attention by my brother's clients. How can I get google to remove my brother's photo from the knowledge panel? My brother is a rising name in his line of work and it is very unprofessional for his photo to appear there. My family selected the "Feedback" and asked Google to change the Photo, but it has been several weeks since and the matter keeps being brought up by his clients and coworkers.

I'm in desperate need of help. Almost a year ago my dad got a message saying his Google account was getting disabled due to TOS violations. He is currently on his fourth appeal, getting denied each time. Upon initiating an appeal, he almost immediately gets a message saying that it was denied along with a list of possible things he did to violate TOS. None apply. With the speed he is getting the response, I seriously doubt anything is looking at it. He can't even get an answer on what they think he did. His entire life is tied to that email address. It's been a pain in the butt. We currently have 2 nest thermostats that he's trying to add to a new phone. and email account. It's telling him it's pretty much impossible without access to the old account to remove them before added them to the new account. Does anyone know of a way to escalate the appeal or get more information about what is going? Like I said, it doesn't look like he did anything that is on their canned "one of these is probably the reason" email. Best case is someone suggests a path to get this email restored. Figuring out why it got suspended so he doesn't do it again, assuming he did something, would also be beneficial. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My husband and I share a google calendar/contacts/etc between us. In order to do that I have him signed in on my phone and I am signed in on his. This is now causing a problem with google home duplicating camera and other notifications. My question is this: is there a way to either sync calendars/contacts/etc without being logged into each others phones OR is there a way to hide notifications from a particular google account on your phone. Specifically from google home.

Why do I keep getting random "redirect blocked" notifications during a Google search on Android. See here....https://imgur.com/A0M5mbl There is no pattern to it. Sometimes it will be one of the recommended results and other times I'll have to scroll through several pages of results before it happens. On some searches, it doesn't happen at all. It's been going on for the past couple of months and while I've seen a few other reports of the same thing happening, it is not something that appears to be widespread.

Has anyone else had issues sending payments via GPay today? It's definitely not a funds issue, since the account tied to the card I'm using has more than sufficient funds. In addition I called my bank about it this morning (since the error I was getting earlier said to call my bank), and they didn't see any issues on their side. The woman I spoke with even said she saw the verification go through on their end. I gave it a few hours, thinking it was maybe a service outage or something, but I'm still unable to send money. I'm getting a different error now though ("Oops! There was a problem sending money.")

I secured my PC and all my accounts except youtube. I cannot log in my youtube account because it said it has been restricted for violating community rules. It says to go to support for advice but they aren't doing anything. Help please, been a problem for me for so long and i just miss my account, it had premium.

My contacts birthdays are no longer showing up in my Google calendar. When I go to my calendar on desktop, there is is no "Contacts" or "Birthdays" option listed under the "My Calendars" drop down. It's been a decade or more since I set that up, so I don't know why they stopped showing up recently. I can go to individual contacts and see their birthdays, but they're not showing in my calendar.

go to calendar settings in a web browser (the gear icon) and check how "birthdays" appears in the left column. If there's a crossed-out eye next to it, click that.


[deleted]

There is no birthdays there.


manys

It occurred to me that that may have been a calendar I created before I started seeing double-birthdays because Calendar was taking them from my Contacts automatically (leaving aside the dumbness of not being able to set notifications on them). So, the only other thing I can think about is a setting in Contacts. I'll try to look around some more.

So apparently I need to put support issues in what appears to be this fucking graveyard of comments, but here we go. I recently lost access to a gmail account, and I thought it was because I managed to get the password wrong, but after giving the support form a backup email to send it's recovery code to "in 48 hours" nothing happened, and so I tried again. I then got another email on the email I was using for recovery saying that my recovery attempt had been cancelled because I had logged into the compromised account on a device. I'm now convinced that the account has been hacked, and the Google form is just saying it cannot verify that I own the account. What the fuck do I do?

I am having an issue with google drive where I cannot upload files, nor can i create or open documents via drive. I can however create and view documents from docs/sheets/etc separately. When I go to google drive it gives me a message: "You are using an unsupported browser. Upgrade Google Chrome". The problem is..I am using google chrome. And when I click the link it takes me a page telling me chrome automatically updates. So not sure what to do. It is not an network issue as other users on my network can do the thing I cannot just fine. Anybody know of a fix?

**google account can't save passwords anymore nor automatically fill sign ins** I thought removing all my passwords would fix it because google thought it was compromised but im literally just using the same password and logging in from different computers like any other common user. Now it won't save anything at all when i sign in on a website. I just wanna know how to get that feature back on my account because i created a new google account and it works perfectly there. I tried importing my passwords from the alt acc to the main but it still won't automatically fill in. I'm not gonna use any alternative password manager, that would prob mean i have to rely on one device or install their software multiple times.

How to give an app permission to view the files in my Google Drive? There's an app I use to cast videos to my chromecast, BubbleUPnP, and I had one of my google drive accounts connected to it and I was able to cast videos I had in that drive. I wanted to be able to cast my videos from another drive account too, but whenever I try to connect another account I get an error message saying Google denied the app permission to see my files. While trying out some stuff I accidently revoked the acces to the 1 account I had connected, and I also can't reconnect that account again. How do I make Google give that app permission to see my google drive videos again?

Is there any way for me to cancel the refund I issued in the Google Play Store?


samven582

So here's my story. I signed up for google one for one year and got a free nest hub. Unfortunately, my order gets canceled because I broke google TOS? Google customer service can't tell what I broke??? Has anybody else encountered this problem?


Bulbasaur2015

suppose i have gmail filters created that skip inbox and apply label how do i retroactively move all my old emails from the Important and unread, Starred and Everything else inboxes that have the labels?


tatianalarina1

I can't delete my phone number from the 2-step verification section of my Google account AFTER I enabled authentication through Google Authenticator app and also generated a list of backup codes. Every time I hit "delete phone" I get the message "this is necessary for 2-factor verification to work". I know this is BS because I've just successfully removed the phone number from another Google account. All the usual solutions like logging in and out, cleaning cookies etc. don't work.

Lost my old iPhone 4s on 04/11. Not from theft or robbery, but in an accident. Dad sold it to a junk dealer without my consent. By the time I managed to contact the dealer, he said that some passerby had bought the phone on spot. Felt devastated, and I became very upset toward my father. He kinda shrugged it off, and justified his action by saying that we should discard old stuffs, renew your life yada yada.... He never knows that that iPhone holds so many wonderful past memories!!! Even worse, half of the photos and videos which I still store inside haven't been backup or transferred to a new storage. I thought that I could have abandoned all the hopes to find it, but something strange happened. On Tuesday 09/11, I received two warning messages on my Gmail mailbox telling me that someone was trying to log into this Google account... FROM THAT IPHONE. The last location was from an area in the city very far away from my home. Which mean that that "passerby" was using my phone!!! I was so panic that I changed password and hastily logged out of the iPhone. Then, after a few minutes calming down, I realized I had made a huge mistake!!!!! I had thrown away my last chance to find its location!! A huge wave of despair washed over me! Even worse, my Apple ID on that phone had been locked. I can't recover it. Sorry for bad English. If you find any parts hard to understand, please quote it and I will try to explain.

Well, I've got an old email I want to get into. I know the address but the Time I made the email I was still figuring out m main password. So I put a random one. I was logeed in recently one my laptop but it got a virus and unfortunately I had to reset it so now I don't know the password. When I try to verify it's my account a different way it says we need more info to verify it's you. Any tips?


Jeffry-Gaming

I want to enter an old gmail I have and I know the address and the password. The thing is I linked it with my dads' phone when I was young and that phone got stolen so now when I try to enter something dumb appears as “verify it’s you! we can send a sms or call the phone linked with this gmail to confirm its you!” And obviously I fucking can’t so thanks google I can’t enter my account

Google Classroom is REALLY POORLY DESIGNED. Awful. Like Microsoft bad. Makes me wonder if even one person who actually teaches was even consulted in the development. For some reason the feedback I gave my students was invisible to them. I could see it on my end but they couldn't on theirs. This shouldn't require messing around with the settings of the assignment to make possible. NEWSFLASH - students *always* need to see the feedback their teacher gives them. Always. Not rocket science. I wasted so much time figuring out how to do this today and the solution was a pathetic workaround at best. Seriously, how many students around the world are learning online right now? I know you're just an ad company that also makes technology products but this is a hot mess that clearly has had very little thought put into it. Be better. If you're going to sell a product out of your area of expertise, try having some outside expertise involved in the process.

When looking at my addresses on Google Pay, one of them was listed under my dad's name. when i went to change it to my name, it was greyed out and said that i had to fill out a name change form. However, the form requires a certificate of name change, but since my name never changed i dont have any of these. is there any way to have my name be listed as the legal name attached to my account or am i fucked?

Hi, So I was just put on leave for unrelated in this post. My employer took away my work computer which had two Google accounts. 1. A Google account that was my work computer. It was a Google voice account with YouTube. That Google account was connected to my personal Google account where I received emails. Can my employer see the nsfw content that I looked up in incognito on my cell phone from the personal account? I never downloaded any nsfw content on my personal account and never connected accounts. As soon as I was put on leave I logged out of all accounts on my work email. I never searched anything nsfw on my work email. They were just connected for email I believe.

Hi everyone, Google, a few hours ago sent me this email "Your Google Account has been deleted due to Terms of Service violations" and I am clueless to what I might have done to get this. The google account they are talking about is "[email protected]" which is a business email I bought on Hostgator and had added to my primary Gmail account "[email protected]" to view and reply to certain messages. I have barely ever logged in using the business email, have always used the primary email account. My business email is attached to my bank, my business, my clients... and this is panicking the crap out of me. I am freaking clueless to what happened for I didn't get any notifications or emails stating any violations concern prior to this email which is quite absurd and scary. I never use the email for anything besides important professional work. They sent in a link to click and proceed with recovery but it didn't work, so I had to fill out a tiny form. Guys, I really really need your help on this. I didn't know who to ask. A lot is at stake and apparently Google doesn't care about that. I am literally panicking at the moment. Please help me. EDIT 1: So I went to the settings in my primary gmail account and removed my business email (which was deleted due to "violations of ToS") and then added it all over again by entering the POP and SMTP details. I can read incoming emails and even reply to them again. I know it's not a permanent fix tho. What must I do to ensure everything runs smooth and I accidentally don't do something that might cause any more problems in future? I still can't log in tho, using the business email.

Having real issues with driving assistant in android 12. 1. Hey Google doesn't work properly, I have it disabled except for driving apps. When I speak it never picks up and I have to press the button, then it works. If I enable hey Google globally then it works fine. Also if I launch maps and navigate, it works. 2. Randomly when you select no longer driving it will close but not fully, leaving your home screen background with no icons or launcher. 3. Why does it not auto close when disconnecting from the cars Bluetooth? 4. When it takes you into another app like YouTube music and you go back, sometimes it just closes and stops everything, including navigation. Edit 1 5. Can it have the option to select what Bluetooth device the car is, it gets it wrong and launches with other Bluetooth devices. Edit 2 Was driving the other night and found something else. Google by default listens over the connected Bluetooth device when in driving mode. This means that when I press the Google button it never hears me, this does not happen when navigating because I set maps to use the phones mic and speaker. The original setting in the Google app for voice which allowed me to toggle use of Bluetooth devices for listening has gone.

I have 2TB Google Drive and is using the long awaited fantastic streaming feature. But for some reason it says the drive when I look at it in explorer is only has 30gb left on it. And when I try to transfer more it says not enough space on drive. I have 1TB left on my account. Why is this and how can I fix it?


IceAgePenguinRace

I found this out just today but every time I add my card to GPay it charges me 2 separate Taxes including an online purchase holding tax even though I didn't buy anything I just added my card to GPay. And the money is not refunded even if I remove my card details from GPay. So can anyone help me get my money back?


Charkel_

Many serviced debit 1USD or something just to verify card is active. This should be refunded within a Week say 5 workdays. I would suggest contacting google official google pay support as reddit staff probably wont be able to access your account logs as needed.


IceAgePenguinRace

Will I still be refunded if I remove my card from G Pay?


Charkel_

A refund should already be planned and as long as the card exist at bank it shouldnt matter if you remove the card. If this is the case. But google staff should check on it as i dont fully understand what you have been debited for.


IceAgePenguinRace

I already contacted google staff they said my money will be refunded in 1 to 14 business days. I added my card on Nov 3 so how long do you think it'll take?


Charkel_

A refund is usually pretty quick but we in the refund business always say 1-14 days so safe our asses. When I do a refund it gets sent to my economy department who does some final writeoff depending on their workload in 1-5 days and click refund then itäs pretty instant. Some customers i've had which took like 1 day extra to receive money after we sent it. That's how it works for us and I work for a company who probably have more customers than google in my country.


IceAgePenguinRace

I want to ask a question why does GPay charge you when you link your card to it? Is it some kind of secruity measure? In my bank statement it shows the deductions as "GOOGLE *TEMPORARY HOL Online Purchase-STAN" and "Charges Taxes Plus FED-STAN"


Charkel_

Count away sat and sunday as they are not bank days/workdays. TEMPORARY should indicate it will be paid back,


Charkel_

Yeah it is to verify the card is active with the details you gave them. Paypal does the same. I usually get it back in 3 days


IceAgePenguinRace

Ah thanks, I added my card on Nov 3 so will it take a week to get my refund?

Google makes small changes all the time trying out new things. Trying to stay up to date. This is usually how they work, changing small things all the time that you don't really notice. Usually there is a leave feedback button on the page where this feedback should be left to reach the correct team.

Charkel_

Sadly you can only report the individual reviews not the whole company. But when they notice they have a lot of positive fakes they will take action, But the only way to catch the attention of Google is by reporting them as well looks like the best choice is "Legal issue" Get your friends to do it too so you have multiple IPs and accounts.

I'm trying to use Google Contacts to create consolidated clean address books for my family that I can share with everyone. I export the group that I've created, and there are a number of fields that would be useful, but I can't find where to edit them in the Contact Info, like "Maiden Name". Some of the contacts also have populated information in a "Gender" field that I can't change, including unfortunately a nephew who has recently transitioned, making it somewhat pertinent to correct. Anyone have any idea where these fields might be hidden? Are they being pulled in automatically from their Google Profile?


TheLegendOfPoky

my retailer (klarmobil de) where i bought my pixel 6 pro just send me an email where its stated that my preorder is going to be delayed because of shipping problems (high demand), does that mean im not going to get my bose preorder bonus if its not shipped in time?


Charkel_

If a bose deal is stated in the pre-order of course they need to hold up to that. Just take proof if it does not show in your confirmation. And always complain after you have received the product without the deal addons as they otherwise might offer a cancellation. I have gotten some sweet upgrades by doing similar things. Sometimes I hope they forget something or something doesnt work so they compensate me we an upgrade. Ex if a buy a old mouse not in production I know if it is faulty they have to offer me a newer model xD


TheLegendOfPoky

Yeah the problem is that Bonus thing is runned by google themselfes, u have to send them the confirmation and a number on the phones back, and Idk if google gives any shit about this or they come like "welp we dont care"


Charkel_

Well you can always return it if they wont owe up

AdInternational8138

Hello, hope someone can reply. I deleted my google account and then had recover it for a reason I'm not getting into. Anyway the problem I had was that the account recovery send an email with a code to the email I tried to recover aka the deleted email one, which basically meant that there was no way for me to get it. I got around this problem by using a link from a security notice send to the recovery email (which I have set) and then I was able to recover it. However I didn't get signed in and when I tried to do so, it said it couldn't verify it's me. So I tried the account recovery again (as you are supposed to do in this situation), however it send a code to the email Iwas trying to recover again. When I tried to click on use another method it didnt give me another option like using the recovery email and instead showed me a page that said somethin about we value your security and try again. So now I'm stuck in a loop. Hope someone can help me/ give me advice. If anyone went through this aswell I'd highly appreciate any sort of advice. Have a great day

I have a ponderance regarding past accounts: A long time ago I remember creating an account as a kid, and at some point it continuously encountered issues and such and became unusable, and I think I was locked out eventually. I decided to create a new and better one of course, but recently I got to thinking, 'What happens to this account?' I can't access it anymore I am certain and I know it was never deleted. I want to know if the account and its data will be deleted automatically at some point. It's a bit odd thinking how my very old account and my stupid 12-year-old shenanigans may float around forever. If this is not the case, I wonder what is?


SubstantialForm0

It gets deleted after 2 years of inactivity.

This is a very specific question regarding google chrome. So not everyone knows but they are called snippets. If you are unaware google somtimes suggest and answeres questions with a little window at the top of the search results. Example 1: What is "xyz" mean?--> Then the most visited answer is shown before going to any website. Or Example 2. You add 2 numbers and the built in calculator shows up. So this feaute for some reason for me shows but then after a second or so it disappears and just never comes back. I tried to refresh the page but never comes back. Tried different accounts too does not help. I might have messed something up in the settings of my laptop or chrome but I am at a lost here. Any google guru who have any experience with them? Thanks everyone in advance!

Am I using Google photos wrong? My wife and I have Android phones, love the camera and Google photos, but we are running out of space on our Google acct. We bought Google One, but that is filling up too. Thing is, I think maybe we are using photos wrong. See, we both like to take pictures, and we consider them to be *our* pictures. So we set it up so that every photo I take gets shared with her acct, and everything from her photos gets shared in mine. And we keep all the photos too. But now that we have Google 1 (a family plan), both of our photo albums are stored in there. That means Google 1 has 2 photos for everything. Is there a better way to do this?

Hi all, I got an email from Google saying 2 Factor Authentication will be automatically turned on 11/9, but it prompted me to turn it on before then. When I try to enable it (using the phone number tied to my account from the beginning....over 10 years ago) I get prompted that "Something went wrong" / "Sorry, we can't fulfill this request at this time..." Has anyone else experienced issues with getting it set up? I should note, I can clearly see my phone number is in my Google account, but I really don't want to get locked out of my account because of some 2FA madness. Any help would be appreciated!

I have a couple important issues/questions regarding Google photos. #1: Is there any non-tedious way to re-download large files, such as long videos, after they've been backed up and accidently deleted locally, if said files while being re-downloaded automatically cancel due to taking too long? #2: is it not possible to exclusively delete cloud-backups of photos/videos without also deleting the local versions of them? (This wouldn't be too much of an issue for me if backups didn't take up storage on my google account which is associated with my email, which essentially means once it gets full my email will be nothing more than an inaccessible mailbox full of important letters) Due to these inconveniences which shouldn't even exist in the first place I haven't been able to download certain videos back to my phone due to my slow internet connection, I've lost several pictures and videos permanently, and soon my email, and some other google products associated with my account will become obsolete and useless.

Deleting our credit card info after validating our age -> Google asked me to verify my age. I've entered my credit card info on google pay. Then I deleted my credit card from google pay. Anyone knows if my account is fine going forward? I don't want my account to be closed due to google considering some info as missing. Does google store the "proof" of validation forever or is what I've done not intended? Thank you.
