I've never had a Pixel 5, but half the time I flash a ROM on my 9Pro, it ends up showing in Play Store or Maps as a Pixel 5.
What's up with that?
Also, anyone know how I can remove all these devices from Google Maps?
Play Store only has one device, so not sure why Maps has all these devices showing.
This is what pops up when I do a "send directions to my phone".

Some custom roms present themselves as a Pixel device for Google purposes, i.e. unlimited backups or such
https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity for your devices, click the 3 dot menu and sign out, then it will be removed. You might be surprised by what shows up there, mine shows multiple "Android", I have the same for Pixel 5, never had one.

It shows up as a Pixel 5 because some custom ROMs decide to spoof the device model in order to unlock Pixel exclusive features (Screen Call, Direct My Call, unlimited photos, etc.)

Thanks that makes sense.
Was going to give djsubterrain a thumbs up too, but his signature is begging people to give him a thumbs up.
So, it's probably as easy as editing the whatchamacalit file to change the model name then.
I can find it next time I have the issue.

You probably want the /system/build.prop file.

Still not released yet. I have the apk but won't work. I'll upload when it starts working.
I wish they would combine their video calling and chat app into one! And maybe it could also read SMS. That would be awesome!
Wait... they have one... it does all of this and also calls real phone numbers... it is called Hangouts! I think Google should stop eating mushrooms.
Useless for guys like me who don't use gapps on their phones. It's a retarded piece of crap that refuses to work without gapps. So i uninstalled it and i sent them an email telling them to go eff themselves. WhatsApp works perfectly fine without gapps and i had the chance to try it on the slowest networks possible from Chenai to Galle or Djibouti and Madagascar. It never failed to work on all those continents and countries i had the chance to visit with my bulk carrier. Google Duo, GO EFF YOURSELF ! WE DON'T NEED YOU.

Actually it get a little bit popular in our country since they banned the VoIP protocol, Duo uses WebRTC protocol so inexperienced people shouldn't care about vpn apps
Does anyone know what the area below the search bar is called (the area where the link is displaying)? I'm trying to figure out which flag in the chrome://flags option to disable. I've already turned off recent bookmarks visited and recent downloads. I want all the clutter off the page. Google is crowding this page with tons of junk now. They need options in the regular settings to turn these off instead of going through the flags settings.

Well, if you mean "they need to put it in the regular settings instead of flags" then no, its not... because Google will never do that, but I used this guide and my "new" pages are 100% COMPLETELY blank- just the way I like it. Not sure what else you were looking for?

You even got the spot where the MMA Junkie link in the pic I posted gone? I tried all the stuff in that article and that's the only thing now working for me. I have to delete those manually.

Hi there,
I loved the music all that I had on my Huawei P8 Lite and would love having this one again on my OnePlus 5T.
Now I noticed there are different versions of it but managed to find the version that I wanted. Sadly for some reason when I tap on the button to find songs on my device it says it found 721 items but then it doesn't show them in the app... So basically I can't listen to my music on the app...
Does someone know a way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!!

First off that site is a known warez site and banned on XDA. So I would remove the pic.
Without any logs taken to show what the error is The only guess would be it relies on that OEM framework to work properly.

Thanks! Not sure if I can get a log somewhere but I'll see, it just shows that songs were found but doesn't show them in the end, same issue is with other versions, although some of the Chinese ones (that I'm not looking for) shows the songs without issues

Do, a search for pulling a log cat. That will tell you how. The follow the directions and it will tell you what's wrong. You can compare the two versions to see why one works and the other doesn't.
Hello people, I have such a strange issue with Google Chrome on my Android (LG G7 Thinq), every time I visit a site, and it asks me to give it permission to do something, I can not for the love of me press 'Allow' or 'Deny'

Funny thing is I can press those specific buttons in the official Google app, but not in Chrome. I have unistalled the app a few times, but the problem still persist. Please help me anybody.

I think this is a problem with the latest chrome update, I downgraded to an earlier version and it worked just fine. When i upgraded again it stopped working. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon.

same issue here
Hi found the solution, just disable the assistive ball in settings.
This is in Realme 5 pro
Not sure whether to post this here or in a different thread, but here goes and if it's in the wrong place, I hope the Mods will move.
I've posted this on Google and have not had one response in 5 Days, thanks Google.
I have gone to Myaccount.google.com and go into security tab from either my phone or PC browser, and yes I am logged in.
No matter which what I do, I am able to access the security tab and view, but when I scroll down to Your devices, none show up, If I click on the manage my devices link, I get the same 500 server error message, from phone or PC.
I have signed out and back in many times, I have also turned on 2 step and I still can't get into my device history. I can use all the other tabs with no issue, just the device tab gives me the server 500 error message for the past days. I have also installed the android app Find Devices by Google, from there I'm able to see all devices, but as you all know you can't delete a devices from there. Now the below issue might she a little light, but I can't resolve it
A few weeks ago I bought a One Plus 6T, set it all up on the same Google account as my OP 5T, but never put my sim card, as I was still using my OP 5T until the whole phone was set up like I liked it. After a few days I realized I didn't like the OP 6T b/c of the no LED notification which I was accustomed too, and also didn't like the TMO Splash screen, so to make a long story short, I sold it, and yes I did a full FR before I sold it. So now back to where we are and where I think the issue lies, when I check the app Find My Devices, as I mentioned it shows all my devices, but on the tabs of the devices, the first device it search for a location is the OP 6T, 2nd tab is my OP 5T, so I'm guessing the server error is b/c the google server is looking for the first device in line which is the OP 6T and therefore getting the server error b/c it can't be found. Hope this makes sense.
I didn't want to make a large post but figured you's need to know all this info.
So how do I get the OP 6T out of the Google system now.
Things I've done to date
1) Cleared cache for Google apps and also force closed and cleared data
2) Ste up 2 step for Security for now.
3) I've asked my brother that lives with me, who's always on your site and he suggested I post here to see.
4) I've tried post on Google, and contacting Google to no avail.
Here is a screenshot of the device section
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any suggestions how to resolve this issue. I have a phone that I sold and I want to remove it from my account. Please advise. All the google links and you tube video are one year old and so represent the new account page setup.
My guess is once the person I sold it hooks it up to there Google account, it might wipe out from my account.
This might need to be moved to a different section, maybe related to Google rather then my device ??
