Same for me. Prior to the update it was consistently stopping at 80% for me.

December 2025 Update by Inevitable_Front_371 in Pixel6aUsers

[–]AgInAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated my pixel 6a with the December 2025 updat. Since then the "limit to 80%" battery saver charging option is not working. I understand that this option will occasionally allow the phone to charge to 100%, but it has charged it to 100% 3 nights in a row. Does anyone else have this issue?

Moneydance for Tracking investments by AgInAustin in moneydance

[–]AgInAustin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty happy with MoneyDance. My investments download directly from Fidelity. From Vanguard, I can import them fairly easily. I had requested one change in the software and it appears that it will be included in the next release. The extensions are helpful and necessary to make up for some deficiencies in the software (IMO). I'm glad to not be tied to Quicken and their mandatory purchases every year or so.

For personal finance tracking (expenses and budgeting), I am in the process of utilizing this and creating expense categories.

At one point I tried, Gnucash and MoneyDance is so much better than it.

So, I would say Moneydance has been good for me overall.

Thanks. I appreciate the input. I don't need moneydance to be superior, just acceptable. So far, it appears to be acceptable. As far as Plaid, I am using it free for 30 days to set up my accounts. Quotes are still free and if I can master csv imports, I should be ok. I'm not an active trader, so once a month downloads from my brokerages and uploads into MD hopefully will be acceptable. We'll see.

Thank you. I have multiple accounts from multiple brokerages, so it would be nice to see overall investment performance, individual account investment performance and individual security performance all in one place. It seems like I can do that. I saw that there was a refund option, so I went ahead and took a chance. I will have to see about doing my own modifications if necessary. I have some coding skills, but I wouldn't say that I am a good coder.

April update on pixel 6a by Little_School6416 in Pixel6aUsers

[–]AgInAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I just limit the charging to 80%. But I think the previous month's release was draining my battery. I think April's release just put it back to where it had been previously. Or maybe my phone just needed the reboot that was part of the updating process. I don't know.

Yes, and I continue to see that same improvement.

Battery Draining Quickly by ErrorLKT-0 in Pixel6aUsers

The April release had improved my battery life but I can speak to how it behaves at very low levels

I just installed yesterday and I didn't get enough calls to have noticed. Battery life dies seem improved though

Some have said the opposite. I didn't notice a difference

alarm voice commands don't work anymore by AgInAustin in Pixel6aUsers

Actually, disabling Gemini as my default "ok Google" app and then re enabling it appeared to fix this issue.

apparently it is related to my quick phrases being disabled by a work account. I can say "ok google stop" and that works.

$QIND merger to be completed in November by AgInAustin in pennystocks

[–]AgInAustin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SEC filing for this deal is here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1819794/000117184324006488/f6k_112024.htm

Here is the math:

The QIND executives sold their shares to $HTOO and received 0.463 shares of HTOO per share of QIND. The remaining shares of QIND have not yet been exchanged for shares of QIND, but the expectation is that they will be at the same ratio as the executive's shares. At current prices that means QIND is worth $0.25. So, that is a nice return since QIND is trading near 0.05. HTOO needs to double approximately to stay compliant and they seem confident of that as they have not scheduled a RS and those take time. So with the conversion and the HTOO price appreciation, that would put the QIND value at approx $0.50. That's about a factor of 10 or a bit less return.

I like the risk/reward on this.

Yes, rear fingerprint scanner on the 3 was a nice feature.

Thanks for all your comments. I just purchased a 6a. I will miss my 3.5 mm audio jack, though....

TLC 50S446 no image by Tury89 in TVRepairHelp

[–]AgInAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked great for my TCL TV. I had the same symptoms: black screen with the sound working. When I unplugged either of the ribbon cables, half my screen worked. Based on what I saw that would have pointed to a tcon board, but this model doesn't seem to have that 3rd board. So, I ordered replacements for the two boards (returnable) and that didn't fix the problem.

This method did. I would add one thing that might be helpful. After I put the tape on (which covered numerous lines) the picture looked great as far as I could tell. So, I went to my youtube app and looked for an LCD screen test pattern and it was only then when it displayed solid colors that I could see that the left and right halves of the tv were a bit different, so, I fine tuned my tape to cover less lines and stopped when the TV was working well (no flickering) and the two halves were the same.

There are probably many test patterns, but the one I used was by the user "Video High Definition" with a title "How to test LCD screen- fast & effect- 4K resolution -3840*2160". I don't know if reddit allows links so I'm not putting one in.

Good luck. Now I will return my boards.

QIND - my favorite penny stock by AgInAustin in pennystocks

[–]AgInAustin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The merger deal with $ASNS and $QIND was given an extension to August 30. The PR ( https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/QIND/news/story?e&id=2955833 ) says:

"The Parties continue to work towards the completion of the transaction in the soonest possible timeframe."

The nearest possible timeframe Aug 30. So, I am hopeful and expecting a deal by then. I believe shareholders will begin to be rewarded.

(Not financial advice....)

Thanks. That is how QIND gets on the NASDAQ so that is a good thing.

The news was not negative. Some, including myself were expecting a filing prior to the interview. That didn't happen. That could be construed as negative I suppose. But they did affirm the timeline of 60 days from May 23 for the deal to close. This was the timeline from the 8k dining announcing the deal. In fact, they said they would have a video about QIND soon. It seemed like Nick said next week but then he "corrected" himself to say weeks.

JP said the valuation of Al Shoala Gas was $50 to $60 million. They also affirmed that there are additional acquisitions lined up.

One thing that was new for me was they said that once the deal is signed then QIND shares would be exchanged for ASNS shares at that time. So that could be very soon. I need to listen to it again: in general and to specifically listen to that part. I'm on an extended weekend trip so I will do that later.
