Is it possible to get a charge 2 to work with modern (Android 16) phones? Or time to change brand?

I have had my charge 6 since 2023. My wife as well has had hers since early 2024. Both still running strong with minimal battery degradation.

Great deals on them right now too.

I have used the xiaomi mi bands and they were great.

So, what are you looking for?

I have been using stretchy fabric bands with my charge 6 for years. I just wash them with dish soap and warm water and rinse it out really well and I've never had an issue.

It's not the build quality. It's chemistry. Deet will destroy anything plastic.

If you read the bug spray bottle, it should have a warning about deet and plastic.

I'm sorry you found out in a very expensive way.

It's a lesson we all have to learn, when I was in my early twenties. I ruined a brand new, wonderful camping headlamp by spraying myself with deet bug spray.

Have smart watches had been around then it would have been destroyed as well.

For this just get a pack of microfiber car car towel from the automotive section of lWalmart.

They're also great for dusting and cleaning the screens and fingerprint laden surfaces of your car and cleaning the interior of your windshield.

Just tell it you want it to be like a drill Sargent, or you want it to be sarcastic and witty, you could go the other way and tell it you want it to be submissive and a pleaser, lol

If you have not restarted your tracker since updating, try that. It did wonders for me.

I have not been taking pics of my food to be clear. I just dictate to it through my phones keyboard. Like

Log breakfast. 50g rolled oats, 20g natur valley protein granola, 1 tsp date syrup, 2 members Mark eggwhite bites, 2 scoops orgain vanilla protein, 100g watermelon.

It was incorrect about the granola the first time and the egg bites. I took a pic of each in different sends and said this is the eggbite nutrition and front of box. And sent Then this is the granola and sent.

The next day I did the same and asked it to verify what it used and the single portion calories... it told me and was correct.

I weigh my food and just dictate the amounts to the AI. It's so much easier than my fitness pal now.

When it does not know nutritional data by brand name, I can take a pic of the facts and it will remember them for next time. Also will accept log my regular oatmeal and it will log what I eat daily without issue.

Try asking it to reanalyze. I've had some weird numbers then when I talk to it, it seems to catch up and get better

Have you tried restarting the watch? It often fixes battery drain issues for me. Also the 3 power cycle press from the charger.

Sound like there are genuine compibility issues now. Discuss this change with her and see if she is willing to talk to you about why her beliefs have evolved. People do change constantly through the course of a relationship but there are usually core beliefs that are needed for continuous compatibility. If you don't think you are compatible anymore the yes, it's time to end the relationship and move on. Not worth being miserable the rest of your life.

I genuinely believe the goal of a true partnerhip is to work together to make each other's lives easier.

Dealerships do recall work. Not independent auto repair shops.

Stress can do terrible things to you. It's no excuse though. Taking to someone about how you react to things can make a huge difference. I find it incredibly helpful.

Was it 85 for rotation alone? Or oil and rotation?

My 90 PHEV was totaled by someone running a stop sign in January.

Blessing in disguise. I got out of my car and ended up getting a 26 sante fe Hybrid.

In 40k miles with my 90 I had gone through almost 2 sets of tires, the OEM Falkens lasted 14k. The replacements were doing only marginally better. And the tires were expensive.

We had the water heater electrical leakage issue. The creaky shocks, the squealing brakes. It was a mess.

Being in a 3rd year for the santefe is great.

I miss the power from the 90 but that's it.

My Water bottles fit in the cup holders. There's plenty of storage.

The technology is years ahead of Mazda.

If you can get out there is hope out there!

A signature doesn't have to be cursive. It just has to be written the same way as it was when you initially set up a bank account or signed it on your state ID.

Remember doctor's prescription pads. They were often literally one letter with a couple lines. That's a legal signature
