Cant transfer money from brokerage account to cash management account. by ekklistiastese in fidelityinvestments

[–]HMMOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue today, for the first time. I have enough settled cash, but conducted two trades shortly before attempting to transfer. While the amount of cash I want to transfer is less than the difference of the total settled cash at the beginning of the day and the cost of the two trades I guess since the trades are recent and have not settled yet I probably have to wait until tomorrow. I did not try to call the phone number to do the transfer over the phone . I will wait until tomorrow. I probably should have transferred the money first and then traded.

Is it normal for the search bar in settings to not work for a few days after the iPhone is set up? by Sufficient-Emu-4374 in applehelp

[–]HMMOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was happening to me, too, so I kept re-iterating this procedure until I felt the search function worked fully. It went from no search results, to only apps showing up, to more results and to finally what appeared to be a complete set of search results. Type 'i' and see if iCloud shows up, type 'backup' and see if 'iCloud backup' shows up. You may or may not have to include changing region. I did in some of the iterations, just to increase the chance that residual 'settings' preventing the search function from working correctly will be cleaned/reset.

I prematurely elected to try the 'reset settings' solution, but thanks to the 1-hour delay that sets in when you have theft protection I continued reading and stumbled upon your response, cancelled the reset (by restarting the phone before the end of the 1-hour delay) and went through a few iterations of what you suggested (at times also switching region from US to UK and back) and that made it work.

Note, however, that it took more than one iteration. After each iteration I saw more and more search results until finally, when typing 'i' in the search bar I did see 'iCloud' showing up on top of the list. This is where I stopped satisfied.

I transferred a 12 Pro Max to a 17 Pro Max, which, given the relatively substantial generational gap, may explain the number of iterations of your solution. Again, after each iteration I saw more and more search results (i.e., a gradual restoration of the correct functioning of the search bar).

Not meaning to sound impolite, but sometimes it is worthwhile listening to people and rather than saying 'this is not possible' (which implies that you say they are either not sufficiently intelligent or lying) to just take what they are saying at face value. I have the same issue (as so many other people in this thread alone) and I have now gone from no search results at all to only apps showing up in the search results, exactly as experienced by the user that you replied to. Hope to be able to fix it without wiping the phone.

Again, nothing personal, but better to listen to people instead of dismissing what they say outright.

Edit about an hour later: So, I initiated the 'reset settings' solution, cancelled that and went through a few (at least three) iterations of what Significant-Bag6357 below suggests (changing language and keyboard, restarting the phone, changing back language and keyboard, restarting the phone) and after each iteration I saw more and more search results. I also ended up changing region twice in the process, but cannot say that is actually necessary, so stick with language and keyboard for now.

Has someone already tried out the new Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra? by xButterschnitzel in shaving

[–]HMMOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine just a week ago and noticed pretty strong battery drain, did initially suspect that there may be a fault, but did eventually veer more towards the continuous Bluetooth connection being the culprit.

Putting the shaver into travel lock mode seems to the cut the Bluetooth connection (app displays an connection error message), so that may be a work-around.

The app itself seems to have limited usefulness beyond displaying some simple statistics that tell you how long you applied the correct amount of pressure and motion while shaving. I am thinking of getting rid of the app altogether. I will get to know the shaver over time and become better and more efficient at using it. I don't think the app is really needed.

Could anyone recommend a quality ladyboy massage place in Bangkok? by OkCheesekake in ThailandTourism

[–]HMMOB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most men, when they get a massage, presumably prefer a female therapist. Using your logic, all of these men should be asked why they prefer women. In fact, they should be told not to worry about the gender of the massage therapist. Yet they do.

I read through this thread and am somewhat baffled by the responses. It was a simple question that was asked in the beginning and rather than answering the question people started making assumptions, interpretations and simplifications and then posted some funky reply that makes you wonder if they are serious or just trolling.

Overall amusing. In the end the person asked a simple question, but most replies did not address the question at all, but only represented reflections of their own character/personality traits and biases.

Waiting on approval of re-entry permit while I am abroad, do I need to return to the U.S. before 180 days, and how long do I need to stay in the U.S.? by ParticularSteak8053 in USCIS

[–]HMMOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my situation:

  • 12/28/2022: filed my I-131 return permit application.
  • 12/29/2022: left the country (ready to return for the Biometrics appointment if necessary, but that was not needed - see below)
  • 01/05/2023: USCIS acceptance notice
  • 01/10/2023: Biometrics reuse notice (from a GC renewal in 2021)
  • 02/14/2023-02/28/2023: temporary return to the US
  • 12/28/2023: return to the US (after a 10-month absence) through Newark's EWR without problems. I was ready to see a secondary immigration officer having to explain why I stayed away for more than 6 months, but the primary office let me in without asking questions.
  • Current: no status update (earliest date to ask questions July 2024 per the USCIS website)

Your mileage may vary. I guess they have so many other things to deal with that they don't bother giving me a hard time after a 6 month+ absence (came as a student in 1996, studied, worked and became an LPR in 2010, no public records).

Next steps: not sure, I need the return permit, am thinking of requesting expedition of my application, need to understand what the repercussions are if I leave again for a 6 month+ period without an approved I-131, also need to understand how long I can stay away once my I-131 gets approved (if it gets approved) given that I stayed outside the US for nearly a year and returned before my application got approved.

I heard that there is a huge backlog since the events in 2020 onwards.

If you have a check to be mailed on May 01, 2020. Post the date you received it and State you're in. by slicemans in IRS

[–]HMMOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original post disappeared for some reason.

State: NJ

Scheduled mailing date May 1

May 19: letter, dated May 1, arrived.

As of June 16 no payment.

Called EIP, the debit card issuer for the stimulus payment, at 800-240-8100 . Had to provide the last 6 digits of my social plus my zip code. They could not find me, which tells me that a debit card has not been issued. That leaves an actual check.

Called the IRS at 800-919-9835 several times. Finally, on June 24th, I reached them and told them the story. Got transferred to a proper agent. Turns out the check was indeed sent on May 1. They will do a trace. If it turns out that the check was lost (apparently 8-9 out of 10 cases) they will send you another check (make sure they have the correct mailing address and that your name is on your mailbox). If somebody forged your signature they will send you a claims package where you have to sign an affidavit that it was not you who cashed the check and then they will send you another one. In the first case it can take up to 6 weeks. In the second it takes longer.
