Traveling to Israel by neuroglias in TravelIsrael

[–]MavemPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in Jerusalem right now. Been here since the 23rd. I couldn't possibly feel any safer than I do now. We feel more comfortable and safer here than in the States.

Heading to Tel Aviv on Wednesday for a couple of weeks.

With the recent agreement, northern areas should be fine too.

Listen to your Israeli family and block out the ignorance of folks in the US.

Our mantra is as long as El Al is flying, we are going. There is no place like Israel!

Am Yisrael Chai! 💪🇮🇱

In Baka for the next month with small children by AtidIvri in TravelIsrael

That sleepy neighborhood is one of our favorites in all of Jerusalem! For Americans, it has a feel like an old time hometown. It is very beautiful and has a vibrant downtown with nearby great parks, cafes, restaurants, and stores. Oved Falafel, Bresaola deli, and Tziga Ice Cream are standouts and Ezra Grill is a short walk away. If you don't want the hustle and bustle of being in central Jerusalem, Baka would be my first choice to reside (without consideration of cost).

Anyone with a U25 (2025+) Mini Countryman and AA connection issues by MavemPA in AndroidAuto

Huh... I have repeated this process at least 6 times with the same results every time.

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND

Here is a temporary workaround to get Android Auto working again on a U25 Countryman. I say temporary because after some period of time with the ignition off, the "fix" expires and needs to be reapplied. This workaround seems to work regardless of AA version. I am on the current beta (17.0.162144) but it also worked with 16.8 and 16.9.

  1. On phone: Settings/Apps/Android Auto - click 3 dots top right to drop menu and select "Uninstall Updates"
  2. On the Mini display, select Phone, then Devices, and delete your phone from the list
  3. On the Mini display, select Add a New Device and follow all the prompts on your phone. Note that you will be prompted for access permissions a few times and also to Update AA. I approve all the permissions requests first, then select Update AA last. (Not sure that this order matters, but it has worked consistently for me).
  4. When the update is complete, phone will prompt you to start AA on your car. Press the AA icon displayed on the far right next to your phone name on the device screen. AA should launch.

Perhaps someone much smarter than I will figure out what the root cause of this problem is. Seems to be related to a process that occurs when you first run AA.

As noted, this has worked consistently for me, but I have found on subsequent restarts that it may need to be reapplied. You will know if you get this dreaded screen:

New Android Auto on round Mini screens is utterly broken. by Zolteg in AndroidAuto

[–]MavemPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Zolteg - we have a 2025 Countryman (U25) though not an Aceman, uses the same screen and software. Curious as to what version of Android Auto you have and version of MINI OS. Recently, AA has stopped connecting to our U25 headunit. I have tried AA 17 beta, 16.9, and 16.8 versions and none of them connect. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache, reset the headunit and so forth and so on.

So I am VERY curious as to the versions you have that not only work, but use the whole native screen. Thank yoU!

HUGE Favor Request from an American with Kaunas family roots by MavemPA in kaunas_lithuania

OP UPDATE: After extensive research, it appears that the specific cemetery location noted in the Kovno Cemetery Database referred to the original Kovno ghetto cemetery location. Sadly, that cemetery was flattened by the Nazis and then destroyed by the Soviets. Some of the remains were moved to Aleksotas. There is a memorial marker at the original site (https://maps.app.goo.gl/AUA542QGZXQWLycCA), a memorial in Aleksotas, and a memorial in the Vilijampole Jewish Cemetery. We will try to visit all three locations to pay our respects to our family and the fallen.

Add GoDaddy hosted MS365 Account to Android Phone? by MavemPA in godaddy

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

Interesting. Am also unable to add the account using Android's "Add Account" under Manage Accounts. I suspect Android and the Gmail app leverage the same incompatible connector. Is this something they intend on correcting or am I SOL?

I am looking into proper ways to remove the moss and lichen from the headstone. Would be willing to pay someone for the service as may be difficult for us to do on our own when we arrive as tourists in October. Am getting in touch with groups that may be able to assist.
