Android sports updates

I have Android 12 running on my phone. When it gives update notifications on sports it provides them as away team vs home team, rather than home team vs away team. Is there a way to change this? Dja1979 (talk) 14:21, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Is it Android itself giving these notifications, or are they provided by some app running on Android?  --Lambiam 23:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

It is the google notifications that it learns by which sites I visit in Chrome.Dja1979 (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

It is likely the app displaying in the normal way. In the U.S., Canada, France, and Spain, every sports event I've been to always uses Away @ Home. I see it as being civil. You let the visitors be listed first. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 12:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

On the Canadian Premier League site it is home vs away https://canpl.ca/schedule and on the bbc site it's home vs away https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/scores-fixtures, the English Premier League https://www.premierleague.com/ it home vs away. But in any case, whether it's normal or not I would like it in home vs away format as this is what all my other apps as default display it as.Dja1979 (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

How did I go back to IPv4?

For a while I had a different IPv6 address every day if I was signed out at home. I accidentally made an edit recently when signed out and discovered I had an IPv4 address which is remaining the same. I have done nothing to cause this.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Your ISP read Why do I have an IPv6 instead of IPv4? and thought, let me relent and return to the status quo ante.  --Lambiam 23:10, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Somehow I don't think that's what happened.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:24, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Your ISP controls what address it assigns to you. You will need to ask them how they assign IPv4 or v6 addresses. RudolfRed (talk) 21:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I pay my phone bill tomorrow. Perhaps I can ask the woman.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:05, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

So I just paid my bill, and the woman said my IP was supposed to change but I could request that it stay the same. But latley, that seems to be what is happening.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:36, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Something else I should mention. One of the web sites I go to requires me to sign in and it shows my IP address when I do. It has been an IPv4 the whole time, and while I can't prove it, it may have been the one that I have when signed out when I click on "talk" or "contributions".— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
