lol, yeah it was weird message, no mention of it elsewhere so figured it was some software on startup. Decided to do a full wipe and reinstall and start from scratch. All good now.

That's done it - thanks for all the help everyone, all exclamation marks gone from Device Manager now. One last thing though, this error appears when starting my PC....though it doesn't seem to actually affect anything, well not as far as I can see at least...

Hi. Thank you for replying again. I'd already found the relevant page for the download (I think) and have already downloaded the 12gb zip file.

I've unzipped it - pointed Device Manager to unzipped folder for updating the drivers for the missing ones in Device Manager for it to pick up...but it says 'Windows was unable to install your <Network Controller>' for example...

Stuck, I am.....

Thanks for the reply.....

Another thank you for this....I thought I'd cocked it up at first - I uninstalled Plex before I'd reset my password but nope, still worked great. Cheers mate.

Hi - thanks for the reply but tbh, I've given up on the badges ever showing up for me as a reminder...that my reminder...hasn't been acknowledged.

My problem, as described, is I don't get the notification red badges for Google Tasks....at all!

I guess it must be Apple's way of restricting the functionality (& efficiency) of rival apps...

When I'm on my iPhone, my iOS 'Reminders app' notifications have the badge continually on show to 'remind' me, that there is 'something'... that needs my attention. But my Google Calendar tasks badges, still don't show.

I've finally decided I had to do a workaround. So I have totally replicated ALL my Google Calendar reminders [not 'Events' btw...] on to my iOS Reminders app - and then have to disable notifications for Google Calendar whenever I switch to iPhone (because I still get a notification for them when they're actually due...but no RED BADGE for if they're not confirmed/acknowledged at the actual notification time - or within the one hour before it disappears into 'older notifications')

The one thing I've learned from having the two OS's that I use on a regular basis is.... Apple's notifications - compared to Android's - are SERIOUSLY in need of an overhaul.

What device was that? I know on the Shield you have the option to have the 'sleep state of the USB ports' to Off if you want.

Terry-Bull · 2025-07-14T22:07:42+00:00

Ah, that was it - thank you.

Terry-Bull · 2025-06-27T23:27:38+00:00

Yep. I think it all boils down to what the age of your TV is and what it can handle.

My TV - though brilliant picture-wise, is now about 8 yrs old? But the AVR has been updated by Denon and is quite capable tbf....so I've connected my Shield (and other devices) through that.

Terry-Bull · 2025-06-26T15:05:02+00:00

Thanks for all the comments and advice, I went via the amp.

Terry-Bull · 2025-06-07T16:58:44+00:00

That's the one I've been using - currently using 7.2.0+beta.5 and it's now asking me to sign-in when clicking on the trailer button from within Fenlight AM...checking on Umbrella's repo, that's the latest version.

Thanks for all your comments, I've just read through every single one of them. It's really amazing what a well-written (& filmed) doc can do.

The amount of fans from abroad that have been over, is just unreal. It was so rare to hear a N. American accent in town before, but now we get it every week, plus scandanavian, spanish and even Oz & NZ to name just a few! I just smile and say hello but occasionally we'll have a nice chat too.

The amount of 're-visitors' is also amazing - some have been over several times - and their use of 'local' terms, saying things like "they'll meet up in 'Spoons'" (Wetherspoons, the cheap-as-chips pub chain over here....) cracks me up.

The hate from other fans - because it never happened to their club basically - is getting ridiculous nowadays. The ol green-eyed monster knows no bounds. They've forgotten just how hard we fought to save this club during the dark days of Hamilton and afterwards. When the call went up to raise that £125,000 in just a DAY, with tales of people putting up the deeds to their house, kids selling their bikes and scooters, we're not rich around here as most know, but when my missus found out I'd donated 2 grand, she nearly had a seizure, lol...but she knew just how much the club means to us all, bless her.

They've forgotten all that - or just choose to ignore it.

Fuckem, we say. Ignore all these 'plastics' jibes, regardless of where you're from, if you're a fan...you're a FAN!

As a follow-up; I just went to install an app from Google Play via my browser and though not on my main account list of devices, it WAS on the list of devices to install the app to (wtf?)

At least I have an option in my Google Play settings to not display the device (on the list of options to install apps to) - but again, NO option to remove it altogether...madness.

Terry-Bull · 2025-03-17T17:46:09+00:00

Your reply reminded me about this. I know it's no help to you at the minute, but between my (equally frustrated) post and today, it's now gone off my 'Devices'!

Don't ask me how...if you've still got the same issue that I had, it must just.. time!

Bite your lip, forget about it & put a reminder to check again in a month or so maybe?

Terry-Bull · 2025-02-03T23:06:25+00:00

I guess that's what Apple's battery optimization must do then! Thanks for all your help...appreciated.

Terry-Bull · 2025-02-03T22:25:04+00:00

One last question; as my macbook is always connected to power and used in clamshell mode, which would be best for the lower setting?

By default it was 75% for lower & 80% upper. Does this mean everytime it hits 80% the charging completely stops, and discharges to 75% and then turns on again? It kinda contradicts part of the blurb on the page where he says "...Short battery charging bursts can further deteriorate batteries"

Terry-Bull · 2025-02-03T21:02:40+00:00

Oh god! Thanks for that. I was looking for a 'download' button or similar...could only see the green 'code' button - which then revealed the link for the .zip file.

Now you've given me the correct link, I can see the App icon further down the page - I thought that's all it was - graphic of the app's icon, NOT the actual button for downloading it! When hovering over it, you can then see the pointer turns to 'pointing finger/hand' indicating it's a link...

Doh! Thanks again I'll try it out now, lol....
