"Mobile network not available" on Pixel 7

I've had my Google Pixel 7, running Android 13, since November 2022.

In the last few days, I can't make phone calls because it says Mobile network not available. If I go to Settings, Network & Internet, it shows no SIMs (Add a network). If I restart my phone, no luck. If I turn off my phone for a few hours, it gets back to a SIM of Verizon for a few hours, before this starts again.

Furthermore, even if I'm on WiFi, I can't make or receive calls. Making my phone quite useless.

Hope someone can help. This is too early for a phone to stop working. And I loved by old Google Pixel 2XL.

Best place to sell used tech & electronics?

I've accumulated soooo many "devices" over the years.

Many of the devices I'll probably never sell, purely out of nostalgia (T-Mobile G1, Motorola XOOM, Google Glass, Palm Pre etc...), but others I'm needlessly holding onto for no reason (unused chromebooks, tablets, phones, 360 cameras, OG HTC Vive, etc...).

Where's the best place to sell used electronics these days? I'm planning to list some items across a few different platforms -- assuming eBay and Facebook Marketplace are the defacto standards these days -- but curious how people like/dislike other marketplaces these days? I remember Swappa caught steam for a bit but pretty sure that died out.

I've also got a zillion cables and cords, but assume unless they're rare and in high demand -- like an original NES power cable or something -- they're essentially useless. And don't get me started on the number of cheap still-in-the-package headphones that should have gone straight into the trashcan.

So let's hear it: what's your favorite place to sell used stuff?

Heart Trauma Recovery

After 70 years of near flawless health, I suffered a very sever heart attack that I was lucky to survive. I had total blockage of my left ventricle which required two stints to clear. I'm almost two months past my hospital release and I'm starting to feel a bit better. I'm required to wear a life vest / defibrillator vest in case I suffer another attack which would be fatal if not immediately addressed. I return to my specialist the sixth and then again the twelfth of Feb. to see how my heart might be recovering and if I can get out of this dang contraption. I have no idea where this journey will take me. I might need a pacemaker... or additional stints or bypasses.. I am clueless.
Whatever I'm up against, I'm ready. I am eating healthier and trying to exercise the best I can. I don't know how hard to work myself. I just returned from a walk around the block at as fast pace as possible which didn't seem to impact my heart or breathing. I think I'm finally improving.

I'm lucky in that besides my heart valves restricting flow, I am in great shape for an old man. I have zero extra weight, no diabetic problems, no breathing problem... etc. I had no indication that I had heart problems prior to the attack. I actually thought I had indigestion :) I was lucky.

I know that I'm not likely the only one to suffer a heart problem here on the forums. If you would care to share your journey, I would be very interested in listening.

logitech m585 bluetooth mouse won't connect

I have a galaxy tab s5e. I opened it today, and bluetooth was toggled off. The mouse was connected before, but won't connect now. My bluetooth keyboard is connected.

The mouse is also connected to my PC. I just had to change the receiver yesterday, and use the unifying software to pair the mouse. Works fine on my desktop. is the receiver change responsible part of the problem?

Upgraded phone not seeing photos

I recently upgraded from an old Pixel to a Pixel 8 Pro. The process went smoothly but I've run into an issue. When I view the pictures on the phone by using the Photos app, I see all of the pictures that got migrated from my old phone as well as the pictures I've taken with the new phone.

However, when I have the phone connected to my PC (file transfer mode selected) and am trying to upload a photo to FB for example, I can see only the pictures I've taken with the new phone. The migrated pictures are nowhere to be found.

I didn't have this problem when I upgraded the last 2 times (either Pixel to Pixel or Nexus to Pixel) so I'm stumped as to how to fix this problem. Any ideas?

Super Bowl LVIII

The 58th Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49'ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will be played at Allegiant Field in Las Vegas Sunday February 11th 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. It will be interesting to see where the odds end up two weeks from now. At present the 49'ers are favored by 1.5 points.
Big money will move that spread around to get the max money bet. 1.5 spread indicates they expect a close game. I hope it is a good game.

0x0000009F Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hi All

I'm facing a critical issue with my Evo Intel laptop, and I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced or knows how to resolve the "0x0000009F Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL."

This error has been causing some serious disruptions, and I've been struggling to find a solution. If any of you have encountered this problem or have any insights on how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate your help.

I've tried a few basic troubleshooting steps, but none seem to have worked so far. Your expertise and suggestions could be incredibly valuable in getting my evo intel laptop back to normal.

Looking forward to hearing from the community.

Thanks in advance!

Verizon Price Increase

This week I received a notification from Verizon that I can expect my phone bill to in crease by $4/mth. I have to admit that it's the first time in a long time that I have seen my rates going up, but with all of the other "junk" fees, I'm just wondering if it is really necessary. I'm also thinking that with that "payout" that Verizon has to pay because of their hidden junk fees (I think), that they are just trying to recoup some of the money that they have to pay out. Some forums have listed this payout as gospel while others have dispelled it as rumors. Even the media is saying that it is real, but either way, increasing the bills to cover a lawsuit just doesn't seem right if that is what they are doing.

Telegram trouble

I'm trying to download Telegram on this Moto G Play. I did manage to do that but it won't let me have an account. I guess I have to give it a phone number. Well I was able to give it my friend's phone number after I downloaded Telegram to his phone. Now I have an account on his phone which is better than nothing but I want it on my phone. I tried using that code that worked on his to put it on mine. It doesn't work. I tried to get them to send another code with no luck. Right now I have no phone number because it's WiFi only. I tried to get Talkatone but it turns out it runs on google. I have been trying to find something else. There was a text app that turned out to be google only. Then I found Dingtone which might work. It turns out they charge. I don't know why they have to make things this hard.

Problem with "Finder" on Z Fold 4

Last night I started getting a problem with the "Finder" (built in app) on my Z Fold 4 Normally, when I would be on a Home Screen, I would swipe up, then my Apps (tray??) would show up with a search bar at the top for finding little used Apps. When I would key in something, the app or apps would show at the top. When I would make the keyboard disappear, I could swipe up to make all of the search suggestions disappear. Now, since last night, this stopped working. Everything remains no matter How I swipe up. It is really frustrating. I will try including a screen shot of the page when I can't swipe up.

So far, I have tried this:
1) Delete cache in Finder App
2) Delete data in Finder App
3) Change most of the settings in Finder App, then change them back to what they were.
4) Delete my Cache Partition.

Nothing got it working like it used to work. The only thing I have not really tried is looking for a broad phone setting that may not be part of the Finder app. Any idea how to fix it to get back what used to happen? Could something global with Android have changed to cause this?

Thanks,

Danny

Chargers hire Jim Harbaugh

I don't think there was any question as to whom the Chargers wanted to hire for their next head coach. I'm sure it was a matter of money and talking Jim into leaving his groomed college program at Michigan. I think it's a great hire for the franchise and I expect big things out of the Chargers in the future. No more finding a way to lose for the Chargers in future is my forecast.

Maps weather display

Who has the weather icon/display in Maps? I totally forgot it was supposed to be rolling out (since October) and don't have it on my Pixel 7 (Verizon). A friend just called to see what it was, why it just appeared and could it be hidden (no, it apparently can't be), he has a Nord N30 5g (T-Mobile). Not sure I really even want it because Maps is getting way too cluttered but what's up with the huge delay in updates? So, who has it and who doesn't?

Google drive settings

I hope that this forum is the correct one to post about this. I use a Motorola smartphone, and have Google Drive installed on it. On my Mac computer (which is an old one), I used to have Google Drive installed, until about two years ago, when my Mac could not support or use the update, because the new version was too far ahead of the computer's capabilities. So, I was compelled to uninstall it from my computer.

However (as I found when I opened Google Drive on my phone), my files remain stored in Google Drive. One file in particular, I wanted to download, but could not do so. Nor could it be opened online, so as to read it. When I looked at the settings for Google Drive app. on my phone, I saw a section that was headed: Allowed > Files and Media. When I clicked on the latter, I saw that the phone has permissions for Media only, not for Files. There is nowhere on my phone, that I can see, that would allow me to give permission to download or open Files (stored in Google Drive).

Can someone tell me what to do to restore full use of Google Drive? It would be a tremendous asset


if I could use its full powers, but at the moment, it is a lame duck.

With thanks in hopeful anticipation,
S.
(Phone is a MotoG22)
