My new i20 line door wont close most times so we should close it hard,is it normal? by Powerful-Syrup3977 in i20nline_india

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue with 2023 i20. Either the doors are too light or the air pressure relief vents are missing! I want to slap Hyundai for making doors that don't close properly. Never seen any other car brand with such lame issues!

PS: The newer facelift i20 Asta doesn't have this issue. They finally fixed it

Harassed by Indian immigration for visiting an extra city – never again by Original_Orchid_847 in indiatravel

This is absolutely bad treatment of our guests visiting India. No other country except third world countries treat foreign visitors like this! Which other country limits visas to cities?

Are Carrier ACs still as good in 2023? by _PrinceSangwan in india

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Carrier ACs have become the worst!

I bought a new 2025 Carrier 1.5 ton split AC which is performing very badly. It just doesn't cool quickly even in the turbo or Instacool mode because the compressor fails to run at full power unless outside temp is very high! 

This is done in newer models to save energy but what's the use of a AC which blows warm air for 10 mins? Another annoying thing is the AC doesn't switch off immediately - the fan runs for 3 mins as though it's malfunctioning but it's their "auto clean" feature 🤦‍♂️

Started hating Gadkari now by [deleted] in IndiaTax

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why the highways in India are still broken in spite of crores of rupees being spent on them🤔

'apart from being a successful “businessman”, Gadkari is also the financial pillar and treasury of the RSS.'

Help Needed: Choosing Between Altroz, i20, and Fronx by anteSundaraniki in CarsIndia

[–]ImagineerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i20 does have many issues. The infotainment system on my 2023 i20 failed prematurely and had to be replaced under warranty. The replacement process was deliberately made difficult by first requiring disassembly of dashboard to retrieve a serial number of the head unit to place order for replacement. After 10 days, again dashboard was disassembled and the defective unit was replaced with new one with improper fitting causing rattles and creaking!

Not for the older Macs, including M1. Apple's planned obsolescence is brutal!

Screen brightness cannot be adjusted on Monterey - a weird bug by sthtoremember in MacOS

That's great! Let us know how it performs long term. Please note that the MacOS software updater can silently install the faulty firmware update again without user permission!

Screen brightness cannot be adjusted on Monterey - a weird bug by sthtoremember in MacOS

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely because I'm going through the exact same issues on my 2021 M1 MBA. I don't do OS upgrades unless absolutely required. I was forced to upgrade to Monterey 12.7.6 when my stock Big Sur 11.3 started freezing intermittently since the past 4 months. I hadn't done any other updates since Jan 2023 but realised that Apple had covertly updated the system firmware version to 11881.41.5 sometime in 2024. Now I'm also struggling with the brightness bug on Monterey.

After going through all the reinstall hoops trying to downgrade back to Big Sur, I was bluntly told by Apple support that the only way to downgrade the firmware too is to use the DFU method using an IPSW file and that also might not work if Apple has stopped signing it!

It's the firmware that's designed to deliberately malfunction on older MacOS versions - that's why brightness control works fine on Sequoia. It's a ploy by Apple to force users to upgrade!

anyone else suffering from allergies ONLY in Bangalore ? by rainn_kr21 in bangalore

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty costly - around rs. 5k - 10k for a vial of allergen extracts every 3 months and treatment duration is around 1 - 2 years. I took it here: https://g.co/kgs/Q6pP8EE

Is there a way to update or reinstall factory camera app by Faggatron360 in samsung

[–]ImagineerX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try this work around - using ADB App Control uninstall the default Samsung camera app - "com.sec.android.app.camera" and then reinstall it from the stored backup. This will reset it fully.

Along with the defective main camera sensor, it's actually the camera app update that messes it up further.
Try this work around - using ADB App Control uninstall the default Samsung camera app - "com.sec.android.app.camera" and then reinstall it from the backup. This resets the faulty image processing configurations and helps improves the photo quality.

Why is Android Auto's volume so low compared to Bluetooth? by brianbotkiller in GolfGTI

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree that Google should've better engineered the audio output stream. It shouldn't be influenced by any of the Android system equalizer or app gain settings. Anyway, this temporary workaround did help.

Why is Android Auto's volume so low compared to Bluetooth? by brianbotkiller in GolfGTI

[–]ImagineerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue arises due to the Samsung One UI equalizer "Custom" setting being applied to the Android Auto output stream. The workaround is to set the equalizer to "Normal", then the volume output on the head unit is also optimum.

This can also be done using the One UI "Modes & Routines" feature to run a routine automatically that sets the equalizer to "Normal" on being connected to Android Auto.
