@VerizonSupport okay, I tried, I'll let your customer know, when they contact me about the hundreds of thousands in overage charges, I tried to let you know you had the wrong email and you didn't respond.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@VerizonSupport how do I report a cell customer using my email address? Why doesn't your system actually confirm email addresses before using them?

This isn't user error, the zip file is missing a directory, one that used to be there. It might be limited to my account due to the number of ECG waveforms I have.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@FitbitSupport I tried your website support, but they keep sending me instructions on how to run a data export, not reporting this to your dev team. As of 11/9 data export is broken. I'm missing the Heart directory that has ECG waveforms. Additionally export now takes much longer

@scopely @MarvelStrikeF Why are you pasting from my clipboard multiple times on startup?

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@MarvelStrikeF why is Cosmic Crucible marked for attention when there is nothing I can do? That seems broken.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@MarvelStrikeF why does your game paste from my clipboard on startup? Why are you collecting that information? That can contain sensitive information.

@frischalicious @gabesstorytime @9to5Google @technacity @youtubemusic So much worse for those who had a family plan and were forced to switch for the Pixel Pass. Went from March 2017 to December 2021.

@kodak looks like my @crazart puzzle is short one piece.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@googlefi you might need to work on your reception around national parks like Crater lake. My wife couldn't send a text message with her Pixel 5A w/ 5G while she was there.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@ToastTab why do you keep forgetting my card and I have to re-add it? This is the second time.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@googlefi Finally, only apps signed with your certificate can change network settings, as that requires UICC Carrier Privileges. So I can't even build something to fix this.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@googlefi why does your latest app update force 5G? In my area 5G results in dropped calls, slower/dropped network connections while using about 2x the battery power.

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@googlefi Yeah, that no longer works with your latest app, it forces 5G on network change.
Also, the reason users can't just set their preferred network via standard android functionality is in the Carrier Configuration you set HIDE_CARRIER_NETWORK_SETTINGS to true. https://t.co/pzOS52ZuFf

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

@googlefi Here is the list of settings in your carrier configuration.

Oh! You might want a different icon when people are connected to 5G mm wave. Hiding information from users is never good. Just saying...

[Scott Atkins @kins_dev]

While moving (like in a car) I can see up to 25% packet loss with 5G. I haven't confirmed if it interferes with 911 calls yet, but if it does disabling people's ability to set a preferred network could result in FCC complaints.
