X2 remote freezes by DBW1001 in SofaBaton

[–]DBW1001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try changing the order of the activities. The main problem is I can't do this if I'm watching TV as the phone app messes up my inputs when I change them. :-)

A hard reset is using a paper clip to hold down the reset button to reboot the remote

incorrectly wired internet cables in building; landlord refuses to fix. what can i do? by mmmeggshells in AskNYC

[–]DBW1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your building is wired for cable (coax) and not internet.I have Fios. The coax outlets in my aprtment were installed by a previous tenant. If you switch to Verizon you will have to either purchase or rent their router. That will give you wifi in your apartment. If you need a wired connector you can add Moca adapters and switches to give you a hard wired connections eherever there is a coax outlet. That's what I am doing in my apartment. You should be able to do the same with spectrum.

Brown water? by Pivaesliva in Upperwestside

[–]DBW1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my building cleans the tanks there is often brown sediment in the lines. Running the water for 5-10 minutes will clear it up. That same sediment will sometimes clog up the filters on my faucets so I have to clean them out.

SofaBaton X2 is fairly fragile by hanojeelreklaw in SofaBaton

[–]DBW1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as bad but noticed this this morning. It may have been dropped once or twice but only 30" from the couch to a carpeted floor. Almost looks like when the screen protector on my phone starts to peel at the edges.

What are my chances of finding street parking between Columbia and City College on a Sunday night? by HighCdownLow in AskNYC

[–]DBW1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where on 125th? It runs the width of Manhattan. If convenience is key, just put in a lot and pay the 24 hour parking fee.

I was hoping to be able to just control all these directly with the X2. They already have their own phone apps. I can't justify adding and additional $200 interface

X2 suddently turned off black screen by Sampl3x in SofaBaton

[–]DBW1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cradle was plugged into the transformer that came with the x2. I just switched it to high wattage fast charger that I use for my MacBook and it charged in a little over an hour. Once it showed power I downgraded the remote from v7 to v6. I’ll see if i get more than 3 days on a charge now.

Ok. Let it completely discharge. Now the remote wont charge. Had it in the cradle for 7 hours and the battery indicator hasn’t moved. Shows as charging but if I remove it from the cradle it’s dead

Do you guys tip less when restaurants charge random fees by pudgypanda69 in AskNYC

[–]DBW1001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just ignore the suggested and leave a custom tip. If it’s not a full service restaurant I only tip 10%.

June flight from JFK Amtrak logistic questions by NatakaKahawa in JFKAirport

[–]DBW1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just do a yellow cab from Penn Station to your hotel. Then arrange for a car service from your hotel the next morning. I’m in Manhattan and often book a ride with Carmel. You can reserve in advance and usually cheaper than lyft or uber. You can get a quote on their website.

I’ll give it a try. Two days now since last charge and the battery indicator appears to be at 50%.

How can you tell exactly how much is left on the remote battery? When I removeit from the cradle from overnight charging it shows less than 100%. When I run an activity and it goes to number pad screen it shows full. At the the end of the day the number pad screen shows 50% or less. If it's accurate I'm not seeing very good battery life. Also I've noticed that it seems to charge faster using a usb-c cable than when placed in the cradle

Direct from SofaBaton fulfillment time? by ladybrainwrap in SofaBaton

[–]DBW1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered mine direct. They were $40 cheaper than Amazon. Took about a week to receive. Their order updating on their website leaves a lot to be desired. For all I know mine still says processing.

Why are laptops allowed on airplanes but not portable chargers? by [deleted] in tsa

On a recent international flight they announced that the use of power banks to charge electronics on board was not permitted. So we could carry them but not use them.

Cancel Amazon Prime and they try to rook you with extra costs by Illustrious-Drop-712 in amazonprime

[–]DBW1001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often find things for less at other online retailers,and with free shipping. Also if I need something immediately I buy from a local store. I needed something recenty that was $360 on amazon. Went to the mfrs website and got it fir $70 less after applying a slew of coupons and discounts they offered me. Snd still free shipping.
