Google routines are still broken

duglop — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 17:20:37 GMT

I'm really sick of Google problems. This is a problem I've been battling for two and a half almost 3 years and it's nothing more than a freaking argument with Google because they don't want to listen to anybody. They keep telling me to do this try that troubleshoot this troubleshoot that fill this form out fill that form out send this and send that in I've done all that and yet these problems still exist... I received a couple different emails from Google themselves stating these are problems they are aware of and yet they still aren't fixed!

Here's another problem that I have yet to bring up but it's in the same family as everything else, it involves my mini speaker and my routines. 2 years ago Google admittedly broke routines as I already said they also admittedly messed up the mini speaker as I already have said, along the way one of my routines was broke and I can no longer find it to shut it off, even though Google continues to announce it's 10:00 a.m. and that's it nothing else she just says it's 10:00 a.m. I cannot find that particular family Bill anymore because it's broken and missing. I see all the rest of them but not this particular Bell. It's quite annoying that every single day at 10:00 a.m. she announces it's 10:00 a.m. and that's it. This is another reason why I am switching to Alexa this year because Google can't fix anything without breaking something else...

I am getting the feeling that they have just given up on making their products functional.

I'm getting really tired of it never had any of these problems until they did a major update a few years ago and now every freaking update makes it worse

Another problem Google does is they will close the topic or thread without a solution and then you have to start all over because they will ask you the same freaking questions again it never fails like I said this has been an ongoing battle for almost 3 years now

Google home is utter trash lol. Google went down hill once Sundar took over. Their hardware, software, phones, devices all are trash. Customer service is a freaking joke lol. These so called product experts don't even work for Google so they don't see the issues. All they do is lock the thread after a generic response by them is posted as the answer. What a joke. Google only cares about your data. Nothing else. I switched to Apple and couldn't be happier. If I have an issue all I have to do is go to my nearest Apple store and done. Amazon home ecosystem is way more reliable even though Alexa isn't as robust as Google Assistant but it is way less buggy. Pixel phones are trash. Pixel watch is trash with its own issues. Google nest routers still have multiple bugs. Random cracking of phone camera humps on the Pixel 7 series. Lol I can go on. Not to mention Android still has the bug wear the At a Glance widget still has disappearing weather from the pixel launcher. Google is a joke. I'm just waiting on my tax refund so I can completely drop Google and switch fully to something else. Google is trash.

Check out the steps below for guidance.

Turn a bell announcement on or off.

On a mobile device, open the Google Home app .

Just fix the problem quit telling us to do more and more bull**bleep** we're tired of it...

How many different ways and times do I have to tell you your solutions don't work... We never used to have these problems for the longest time and then all of a sudden it's every other **bleep**ing day but yet you keep saying the same things...

Re: Google routines are still broken

duglop — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 06:21:21 GMT

Aaaaaaaaaand here we go again, just like a broken record! My routines haven't worked since Saturday! This is really **bleep**ing annoying Google! I didn't change a **bleep** thing! They worked perfectly Friday night, and now once again NOTHING! Please tell me again how it's my system! I'm sure you'll lock this thread without fixing the **bleep**ing problems! Also, just a FYI - ALL Google products have been seriously slow the last few days - saw many people complaining about it and then experienced it myself! How many times & ways must we report these problems? NOTHING has been done, not a goddamn thing! Tomorrow I will be taking a video of some of these problems AGAIN but this time I'm going to share them right here - if I were a business going through this bull**bleep** I'd be pursuing and reporting to the BBB!

Broken routines

duglop — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 05:40:40 GMT

You know what I'm not going to hold back no more **bleep** you Google this is seven straight **bleep**ing days that my routines have not worked and this is the 10th time this has happened. I'm sick and **bleep**ing tired of having to reset them up every mother **bleep**ing night.

Google you **bleep**ing suck end of story

It's actually funny that Google replied to this today because I had a new problem today in fact it's been 4 months since I haven't had at least one problem with a Google item and the problems recycle themselves they repeat themselves so you can't blame this bull**bleep** on just one particular thing this is all Google because we're talking two different brand of lights we're talking mini speaker we're talking Google home we're talking 2 different Vizio TVs with Chromecast built in...

Every single **bleep**ing day there's a problem with one of them things again I never had any problem for the first three **bleep**ing years before Google was sold and now every day is a goddamn problem I've been home an hour and I'm still waiting for my security lights to come on through a Google routine which is once again failed...

Re: Google routines are still broken

duglop — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 05:11:15 GMT

Also I'm real curious to know why Google decided to do this this is **bleep**ing redundant let alone stupid now when you tell Google you're leaving she'll go through the routines and then she'll ask you if you want your home set to away isn't that the whole **bleep**ing purpose of saying I'm leaving?
