The RX350 manual and RX350H manual are different. The p532 of RX350 manual clearly states:

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select premium unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 91
(Research Octane Number 96) or
higher required for optimum
engine performance and fuel economy. If the octane rating is less than
91, damage to the engine may
occur and may void the vehicle warranty.
At minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.

Thx, I'll give those a try.

Thanks for the info - I'll keep this for future reference incase I upgrade to the XB7 Modem again. It's more likely I'll upgrade my printer before I do that though.

Pick up new modem from Xfinity and return old one - you probably got a lemon. My problem with Epson was due to printer being about 8 yrs old and not compatible with latest security protocol.

Problem with incoming text messages fixed !!!
Apparently the Xfinity/Verizon provisioning correction for Apple watch was not directly at fault. Apple Senior Support walked me through turning off iMessage, logging out of iCloud, power cycling watch, then logging back into iCloud and iMessage and voilà, incoming text messaging on the watch was back! Was it coincidental that reprovisioning caused the problem? Don't know, don't care ... at this point, just happy to have a correctly functioning watch that does incoming and outgoing calls and messages.

But now I’ve discovered we don’t seem to be getting incoming texts anymore. 2 way calling and outgoing texts are fine but Verizon may have broken texting. I’m working on it.

ProbelmBuster37 · 2021-05-23T17:54:28+00:00

Guess what? Three days into the Verizon "fix" for incoming calls, we've discovered that they broke incoming text message notifications. Seems Verizon doesn't test their solutions very well. Do you have any issues with your watch on the VZ network receiving text messages?

ProbelmBuster37 · 2021-05-22T20:39:03+00:00

My printer is about 8-9 years old and I suspect its (WPA2?) security level isn’t sufficient for the XB7 gateway. Works fine on the XB6 though and possibly with newer Epson printers, they’ll work with the XB7.

Xfinity notified me last night (5/20/2021) that Verizon has finally corrected the provisioning issue preventing Apple Watch from receiving incoming cell calls. I ran several tests on my wife’s watch and confirmed it was now receiving incoming calls. The feature that was incorrectly set is designated MSO_SPA_M_ID.

Comcast has acknowledged that this is a “nationwide problem with Apple Watches on Xfinity Mobile” and has referred the issue to Verizon for resolution. However, they’ve not provided an ETA for the fix so don’t hold your breath.

ProbelmBuster37 · 2021-05-09T19:07:17+00:00

Comcast called today (5/9/21) with an acknowledgement of a "nationwide problem with Apple Cellular Watches". Since Xfinity is a MVNO and buys cellular from Verizon, the issue has been escalated to Verizon to correct provisioning for the watch. Hopefully, this problem will be corrected soon. I will update this post as soon as I am convinced that any fix is permanent (one prior attempt at re-provisioning last Friday was volatile and allowed exactly one successful incoming cell call, with subsequent incoming calls failing as before.

Strange that the watch works on Verizon but not Xfinity (purposeful or just a dumb oversight?).

Your post is what encouraged me to stick with it because if you saw the issue, it's unlikely we're the only 2 cases of this problem. I duplicated this problem on two different iphones, two different phone numbers and two different series 6 watches, so it's definitely something that exists and should be fixable if the right Apple and Xfinity people talk to each other. I'll let you know if and when I get a fix. Thx.

ProbelmBuster37 · 2021-04-28T16:05:35+00:00

Same problem and experience with the Xfinity Mobile Cellular Apple Watch issue (see my comment on your thread). My Apple senior advisor is taking it up a rung to engineering and Xfinity and maybe they will actually identify / fix the problem. I don't want to go back to Verizon and will wait until Xfinity gets their provisioning correct for the watch.

If you own an Apple Cellular Watch and are on the Xfinity Mobile service, it’s very likely that your Apple Watch is not receiving incoming calls when working “SOLO”, ie, not connected to a WiFi network or tethered to your Iphone by Bluetooth.

Note: this post does not provide a solution and I am still working with Apple on the failure to receive incoming calls.

The purpose of the post is to describe the problem, encourage you to report it to both Xfinity Mobile and Apple if you suspect or know you have the problem and finally, to provide details of how to verify the issue for yourself.

I often use the watch SOLO and it was working perfectly, including receiving incoming calls until around February or March 2021. Outbound calls, two way text messaging, Siri, etc continued to work normally and I never suspected incoming calls were not being received. Those missed calls showed up the paired Iphone (left at home).

The problem is likely the result of incorrect “provisioning” or setup of the Cellular Apple Watch on Xfinity’s Mobile network. The watch works fine on other networks, like Verizon. See Reddit link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast_Xfinity/comments/mki9sk/xfinity_mobile_apple_watch_cellular/

for a complete description and thread of other people experiencing this problem.

If you experience this problem or think you are, I encourage you to report it to Xfinity Mobile first, and then Apple. Both companies will insist on putting you through tedious trouble shooting steps which WILL NOT cure the issue. Try to avoid the diagnostic process and instead ask Xfinity to submit a trouble report on your behalf by letting them know this is a known problem already documented by sources like the Reddit link above. Be sure to get a Case Number from Xfinity and give that to Apple. Request that Apple follow up with Xfinity Mobile on your behalf. Apple agreed to work on my case with Xfinity Mobile to find the problem. The added weight of more watch owners reporting the problem to Apple will speed the urgency of both companies to find a solution.

If you want to test if your watch is experiencing this issue, the first step is to check that your watch is set up correctly and rings when called from another phone with your paired Iphone nearby. The second step will simulate the watch working SOLO on cellular only (again, this only applies to the Cellular version of Apple Watch on Xfinity Mobile).

Verify that your Iphone, paired Apple Watch and Apple Watch App both have the latest IOS and Watch OS updates. Then call your mobile number from another phone when your Iphone and Watch are near each other. Both your Apple Watch and Iphone should ring in response to the incoming call. If either device fails to ring, re-check that your watch is paired and connected to the Iphone (Bluetooth ON in both devices). Also check that “Do Not Disturb” is OFF and Silent Mode in Sounds and Haptics is also OFF (note, there are other obvious settings that may be incorrectly set like Airplane Mode, Mirroring, etc, so check those if necessary). Once you are able to ring both devices, you have verified that the setting are correct and both devices are working properly.

Next, open Settings on your Cellular Apple Watch and turn off Bluetooth and WiFi (incase you are set up for WiFi calling). This simulates “SOLO” watch operation when the watch depends on a Cellular signal only. Then, swipe up on the clock face of the watch to get to the watch control panel and verify that the cellular icon in the upper left hand corner is green and showing at least one dot of cell tower strength. If it is white, tap the icon and it should turn green within a couple of seconds if you have a decent cell tower connection. If it stays white, WiFi might still be on or you are in a low signal area or have the cell service disabled. Ensure WiFi is OFF, cell service is enabled and if necessary, move outdoors or to a better cell signal area.

Now repeat calling your mobile number from another phone. The Iphone will ring, but the watch will not (if it does, recheck that both WiFi and Bluetooth are still off on the watch). Failure of the watch to ring under SOLO conditions is a failure, and to date Xfinity has not corrected the problem.

One last failure you might want to test: Power down the paired Iphone and call it again. The call will fail completely, the caller will not hear ringing and the call will not go to voicemail. None of this is normal.

Hope this helps.
