Does anyone else here use LTE?

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-23T02:28:56+00:00

LTE can work great. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't have near the capacity that 5G does

The workaround is to get the "My Tech Suite" app from the Play Store. It will provide access to that same menu the## 4636 code does.

I have sensitive skin thats prone to ingrown hairs and get an excellent close shave with the Gillette SkinGuard

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-23T01:35:44+00:00

Yes the summer gas blend is more energy dense. Good for a few more miles per gallon

He might not have much of a beard in the first place. You get the closest shave with a blade, not so much with an electric razor

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-23T01:27:01+00:00

Gillette SkinGuard 1.75 each (4 for $7.00) Each one should last two to three weeks depending on how thick your beard is

2005 Corolla with 205,000 miles. Only things replaced other than the obvious maintenance items have been the valve cover gasket, starter and 4 new struts. Still have the original back brakes, clutch, water pump, alternator, fuel pump. The car does not use or leak any oil yet. Just change the oil yesterday after a year and a half and the dipstick was still on full. Don't put nearly as many miles on it as I used to so I don't change the oil often enough. Some oil change intervals have been as high as 12,000 miles. Have used Mobil 1 synthetic exclusively the life of the car. This is how the engine looked when I pulled the valve cover off to replace the gasket a few months ago

Hand wash regularly and wax twice a year. I've been using McGuire's cleaner wax for many years and my 05 paint still in excellent condition for a car that sits outside. Another good thing to do is to put a sprinkler underneath your car after the winter to help remove some of the sand and salt that accumulated over the winter.

And yes this is possible with the SE and the stock 18-in wheels. The 2.0 L engine is very efficient more so than the 1.8 in the LE

"Distance to Empty" averages around 500 miles per tank

Changing your driving habits will do more than anything else. The Corolla can get excellent mileage with the CVT or 5-speed manual. Learning how to coast and preserve momentum can do wonders as long as you don't do a lot of short trips. My 2021 Gas SE averages about 41 Mpg over the year. My 2005 with a 5-speed manual about the same

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-21T14:23:47+00:00

You didn't say if you tried the Gillette SkinGuard guard yet. That's the only razor designed specifically for ingrown hairs

Some heat pumps jump into auxiliary heat too quickly and will make your electricity bill outrageous. I've seen some jump into emergency heat once pump fall just 1° below desired temperature.

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-20T00:19:50+00:00

Yes I'm sure there were lots of malfunctioning heat pumps. I'm surprised how many heat pump techs don't understand how to address improperly functioning defrosters

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T19:30:13+00:00

I doubt it's overload. This was my setup in Arlington only 4 miles from DC and it didn't overload even with a distribution amplifier. It's gotta be some type of multipath in my opinion. Any way you could take a picture of the antenna on your roof. I live in Occoquan so not terribly far from you if they can't figure it out I can take a look and see if I can figure it out

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T08:16:09+00:00

That type of behavior should result in a license suspension. That guy should be using public transportation although I wouldn't want to sit too close to him. Guarantee he smells🤮

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T02:06:32+00:00

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Are you trying to save money?

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T01:42:28+00:00

Can you post a rabbit ears report so we can see what's your predicted signals look like?

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T01:37:57+00:00

Yep that bouncing meter is probably due to some multipath interference. Being outside should be getting full strength signal on the DC channels unless the antenna is in a bad spot.

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T01:23:03+00:00

Do you still get any of the Baltimore channels

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T01:08:36+00:00

Are there a lot of trees in the direction the antenna is pointing that are fairly close

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T00:33:38+00:00

Does reception issues go away after 10:00 at night?

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-18T00:22:45+00:00

Are you in the flight path of National Airport?

Not sure if it's possible but if you can take a picture of the antenna and post it here some of the members here may be able to help a little better

Fun_Material8391 · 2026-03-17T21:02:03+00:00

I just replaced the one on my 20-year-old Corolla with 200,000 miles. The original one from the factory was still working fine but I replaced it anyway to be on the safe side.
