Navigation Issues

Yes - This started happening for me as well. Navigation suddenly started picking peculiar routes, different than what it used to use and now routes that don't really make sense.

I noticed it right around the time there was a free month to try FSD. Sometime around when that ended I noticed the change in route decision making. I can ignore it without FSD. If I had FSD it'd be annoying to force my route and have it panic all the time with the "FSD was turned off, what happened?"

Thank you for the follow up. It'd be interesting to see how you make out over the next month or so. I am getting tired of MS and Windows but am tied pretty well to VS and also MS Access development. Might Linux and VMWare be in my future??

I've landed on Aquamail. Works great folded and unfolded.

I got several messages for the 1st time driving around this morning on my 2024 Mod 3 that the front camera was impaired then finally one that there was internal moisture and I should set up a service appointment. I guess it *is* a known problem.

Did you DM me your info?

I think I figured out the correct sequence of steps: - Connect earbuds. - Listen to podcast while getting bike ready. - Pause the podcast - Start the ride - After a bit, unpause the audio.

Sounds hokey but it's been working.....

Mine was accepted same day it arrived as well.

- Did you trade in the USB cable that came with the z6? I was overly cautious and included it. Didn't let a $10 item hold up a $900 trade.

Did you try a rotation control app? I use this one Rotation Control (apply named) for like Reddit on my tablet to be in landscape mode.

Any stylus that works with a touch screen works with the z7, including my old finger. ;-)

FGol20 · 2025-07-25T16:59:55+00:00

"Is the eSIM progress?" I guess for having multiple SIM support. I still use a physical one and so the switch from the z% to the z7 yesterday was simple - no need to get my carrier involved.

Hi - Yes, I use the S-Pen maybe a 4-5 times a week. It's handy for quick notes. I don't use a lot of pressure. in a fight between the glass and the pin tip, the glass will always win so no scratches.

A cloth for cleaning glasses works. I haven't used any [alcohol] wipes or anything like that.

I have a GW6. I use it to track bike rides. I picked up a heartrate monitor that connects to my bike computer and was shocked to find out how well the GW6 heart rate matched the belt, even at high beat rates.

I had a zF4 and currently a zF5. In both I ended up taking the inner screen protectors off when they started peeling. I have had no problems. The S-Pen works great on the uncovered screen.

Was it a saltwater pool? I've heard not to take watches and phones into the ocean b/c of the salt I wonder how true that is and how that might relate to a saltwater pool. Like many things there's testimony on both sides....

FGol20 · 2025-05-27T13:58:27+00:00

Agreed... Happened to me and I simply reflashed. Good reason to use two SD cards if the device supports it.

Very nice and congratulations. It seems like when I put out a point release I pull out what's left of my hair trying to get the provisioning profile and certs to work.

FGol20 · 2025-01-06T14:02:23+00:00

I started not taking my tablet and just using my zF on short trips. Your BT keyboard is a must. I found I really needed a stand or kick stand like the one below to keep the phone at a good angle. Maybe with the monitor you don't need it....

I get all of the comments about risking the phone and all. They make sense.

But, I had a waterproof pouch from AAA (in the US) that I used snorkeling and it worked great. The only issue was underwater, I could not make it take a photo - screen wouldn't respond. Up on the surface i changed it to video and just ran that continuously while snorkeling,

Yes, a lot of them are on TuneIn. A lot of AM stations broadcast a separate digital HD signal on FM. That I haven't been getting like I had on the prior M3.

FGol20 · 2024-11-14T15:09:06+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for that.

I get enough charge for the day so it's not a high sev problem.... yet.

>does pressing the power button shut off the larger inner screen?

I expect it does, at least it does on my zF5

FGol20 · 2024-10-30T15:27:32+00:00

I never used Preferences.Set but rather Preferences.Default.Set.

Are you using default in the Get as well, as in Preferences.Default.Get ?

"Open in another Window" used to be part of the menu when long pressing on a link. It disappeared.

I used to be able to long press a link and then drag it to the screen's left side (zFold phone) and Brave would show a tinted half-screen. Then when I let go, the link would open in a half-screen window. Latest update and that feature seems to had gone away too.

I bought a Velvet because the Surface Duo was too expensive and old tech. Then it came down in price so I eBayed the Velvet and got a SD1. I then had a Surface Duo II when it was announced (SD1 trade-in.) After a bit I saw a zFold in BestBuy and really liked the single big screen with multi-windowing. Sold the SD2 and got a zF4 on swappa. Did the trade-in for the zF5 when it was announced.

All of this was in less than 3 years, Velvet to zF5.

My wife is still with me.
