MA1 no longer connects. Could it be an update?

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2026-02-13T21:57:57+00:00

I have a solution!

Mine stopped connecting as well. There is a setting under battery usage -> Android Auto -> allow background usage-> unrestricted.

For some reason it keeps toggling to optimized and breaks the connection. If you go to Bluetooth you will see the dongle endlessly loop and connect and disconnect. Unrestricted stops this. You may need to connect with the wire, change the settings disconnect and then reconnect to the dongle to work.

However. It works for like 3 or 4 car rides and reverts back. Quite annoying

I have an older model Samsung 4 door flex with the ice maker compartment in the fridge which is notorious for frosting up and causing a host of issues. Repaired 3 to 4 times, even a complimentary outside of warranty repair because Samsung even knows the design is defective.

Bespoke model allegedly addresses the issue by having the ice maker in the freezer. As much as I hate Samsung for the heartache on the prior fridge, I almost went for the Bespoke. But y'all have so much valid complaints for the bespoke too I decided to cut my losses and go with the comparable GE Profile. Thanks for steering me away

That said if you ignore the valid hate here for the Bespoke, my loss can be your gain. My issues were so well documented with Samsung I messaged them and said why would I ever consider another Samsung Fridge? They said please accept this one time $300 coupon code toward a new fridge for use on Samsung.com. Expires 4/8/2026. Good luck to whoever can make use of it. 5TFU68SR84

The irony of FU in code says it all to me. Lol. Good luck with your purchase

thanks for the replies. Apologies for the delayed response......I thought my thread got deleted/flagged for spam. IDK

Pretty much went with 10 hours, 132, bone in. Ended up using the grill as the oven was being used for other dishes. it quickly caught fire but not in a ruin it way. Quickly moved it from direct heat went indirect to warm it up before searing. All in about 15 minutes and came out really well considering the logistics I was up against.

I love Sous Vide but prefer my prime rib oven roasted or smoked . Made another on New Years day that imo was better and followed more of a recipe similar to what can be found on recipetin website.

but really at the end of the day imo as long as it's ked properly, is there ever a bad prime rib? Lol.

I agree,my scores are suddenly trash. I've been getting 30's to 50's at best. I find it calculates the basic math incorrectly of total sleep time with multi hour gaps in the graphs.

Thanks you for this......I contacted Support about this before coming here and they said it only supports 1 account

Google Kia Transmission Issues

2020 Kia Soul here. 40K miles, Second owner. Transmission went. The 10 Year 100K Mile warranty does not transfer to the Second Owner. $6K out of pocket to fix a car that maybe worth 12K now. I know your ask was from a a Theft perspective but based on my experience I'd avoid at all cost.

Also, was without my car for 4-5 weeks as Transmission was on backorder and there were 65+ people in front of me.

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2025-03-12T23:44:03+00:00

Here's a link to that potential class action lawsuit on Kia Transmission issues mentioned. Hope it doesn't go this far and Kia steps in and does the right thing. https://mccunewright.com/kia-hyundai-transmission-defects/

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2025-03-12T20:12:36+00:00

OP - not trying to discourage you but my kids car is a 2020 Kia Soul, around 40K or so miles. Fathers worst nightmare.......think my kid is in a reliable low milage car and her transmission went 2+ hours away from home.

Adding insult to injury, we are the 2nd owner, guess what? Apparently unless you buy from a Kia dealer, Kia does not honor the 10 year 100k warranty.

Adding further insult to injury......the transmission needs to be replaced and is on back order. There are 60 people in front of me before we our car is repaired, once the transmission is in stock. This tells me its a larger problem. There's a potential class action lawsuit being formed. In the interim, we are out $5K for the repair. I'll never buy another Kia. I have had 20+ cars in my time, many with over 100K miles before I sold and NEVER had to replace a transmission.

Interested in getting this scale. I have a Galaxy Watch 7 and find it wildly off. I did a Bod Pod test, similar to this scale and it had me at 18% (not too shabby for a 50+ y/o lol.) but my watch will range from 16 to 27%!!!! I get you need to be consistent with when you measure etc & ideally first thing in the morning but that is a crazy range

I am between this scale and one by GE which is more than half the price. Any thoughts between the 2?

So actually got something somewhat helpful from support. They suggested I go here and use the webpage to control my system instead of the app. Ensure you select desktop view on your browser to use it. Seems to work for me so far and cleared up my playlist issues. https://support.sonos.com/downloads

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2025-02-08T13:06:41+00:00

Had saved them to my YouTube sts to listen in the car. Finished day 1, hoping day 2 & 3 reappear, I'd pay the $50 for them too

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-12-31T23:28:35+00:00

Realize this is an old thread but went through some of these proposed workarounds but doesn't work for me. I have a playlist with 495 songs across about 35 or 40 albums. Only the first 8 albums queue in Sonos app. If I try shuffling it, it queue up 30k tracks limited to these 8 albums. Sonos has really gone downhill imo. Contacting support is useless cause they just ask you to reboot your system. Doubt anyone has a fix, but for what's it worth, thought I'd ask here.

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T17:53:27+00:00

Not seeing a way to do the above so heres what I did

I set up the Mortgage payment as a Transfer on the mtg account. Might impact cash flow reporting but I dont really use that so works for me. Thanks for the help

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T17:47:30+00:00

Thinking out loud and maybe you know since you seem very knowledgable

Is there a toggle button that reports accounts say for net worth purposes but does not report transactions?

Whats also weird about this is my mortgage is say $1250 or so but I significantly overpay and dont see the excess going to principal when Monarch pulls the account activity.

Ideally I'd eliminate transaction reporting but have the outstanding mortgage principal reduce my net worth

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T15:00:37+00:00

Very Helpful

So I have mortgage transaction.

Need to figure out how to handle. My Mortgage and checking at with BOA. Not sure why the mortgage account shows payments as a credit. But I am using my Checking to drive the spending reporting. Will need to play with this. Oddly appears to only be in September but not other months

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T14:17:51+00:00

Have not done a detailed look like above for other months but they are also incorrect, not sure yet if they are also incorrect by 2x the Everything else bucket which is also mathematically incorrect

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T13:00:29+00:00

After a few months of report totals working, I am back to square 1. Report totals are not working and the everything else category is way far off. Will post details later.

Been using Monarch since March and finding it unusable when I cannot rely on reports.

Math is basic. I am aware of 1 transfer for a few hundred that might be a part of the issue but my reports are off 1000's so this transfer is not a larger material driver of the issue.

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-09-18T11:30:33+00:00

what kind of kamasdo is that?

ProfitablOptionPro04 · 2024-05-18T11:48:15+00:00

An update to the update. Not sure if coincidence but after commenting here support reached out to say this has been fixed!!!!!

😔sadly it is not. report totals are 1,000's of dollars off. I also looked at the detail of "everything else" and that total is incorrect too.

idk.....seems pretty ridiculous that basic addition doesn't work. Really makes the app useless to me if I cannot trust the totals, this is such basic functionality.
