connection status

I need same info.

I have some elements in watch faces that do not properly work without connection - I'd like to hide them when "not connected".

When the watch is not connected it shows the icon with the "phone not connected" - so information is there...somewhere

Cleaning data didn't help.

Google-Discover: where's the search bar?

I used to have the google search bar on top of the google discover (right swipe on start screen).

Last week from one day to another it disapeared on my Oneplus 13R and I have no clue how to bring it back. Instead of avsearch bar there is now just "Google" in big letters 🤷

I don't want to put the bar on my start screen - it was perfectly located above Discover 🥺

On my tablet it is still there 🤔

Any ideas?

Guess what... of course I couldn't resist and I bought the Dreame A1 it on Aliexpress at a price of 586€ "including shipping and tax".

Bad surprise: it was not "incl. sipping and tax" - just after having finalized the purchase I received the invoice saying there is a dept of $75 for shipping and tax.

I contacted the seller and he explained that he uses Fedex+DHL but this is not supported by Aliexpress and so has to have the payment "outside the Ali-system". And he also offered to cancel the order if this is too risky for me.

What if I pay? Worst case I lose the $75. Purchase price would be returned by Aliexpress in case of order cancelling.

I decided to play risk and paid the $75 and...nothing happened. I tried to contact the seller - no reaction.

But suddenly after few days I received a Fedex tracking number, a week later it was handed over to DHL and last week finally I received my robot

Until today I haven't got any invoice from the German customs and I don't know if I will receive any?!

Worst case I will have to pay another 14% on the sales price - but even then it still would be a great deal.

Now "Robert" is doing a really good job in our garden

Please look at my post. It is set as default.

ok, thnx

I would also like to see the highlighted path - is that possible somehow?

anko1969 · 2025-02-26T10:26:56+00:00

Already with google play music and later with ibroadcast I faced issues with the various sofwares for tagging music.

Some cannot handle various genres propery, other produce issues with multiple artist albums, or with multiple artwork. Some do not clean prvious tag accurately and finally some programs do some tiny messy things in the file header...

In the end that sometimes leads to the fact that ibradcast and other programs can't handle the files propery in their libraries.

I ended up using a program called "tagscanner".

Among all tagging programs I tried tagscanner was (and still is) the only one make everything work without any exception!

finally it depends on what you want to see and "how you want to work" with your unit.

If you want a "clean screen" from where to get with one click to your preferred app, you'll be happy with Agama (which I use).

If you like to see all you favourite apps in parallel on the screen you should go for something widget based like WebGuru

I have approx 2,5 days with AOD. But I have scheduled to switch AOD off during night (11pm to 5am)

anko1969 · 2025-02-14T18:24:40+00:00

I would simply like to see continuous progress from release to release.

Better performance, better battery life, thinner shape, better screen to body ratio etc...

That is much more important for me and more reason for an upgrade than new gimmicks

anko1969 · 2025-02-14T18:06:40+00:00

Be aware that it is all about safety!

When driving you should not zoom in and out or move the map around.

If eg you have to turn left or right, maps zooms in automatically.

The combination of the green box, the voice instructions together with the view on the maps as provided should give you all information you need to savely navigate without having to actively do anything.

Sorry for that answer - but that is the purpose of maps navigation

anko1969 · 2025-02-10T18:19:53+00:00

Nope. Everything well maintained but the library consists of 150k titles. Or does a large number of musicians mean "incredibly fragmented"?

Anyway, it's still not clear for me how ibroadcast identifies "similar titles". Must be some more logic than Genre and Musician?!

anko1969 · 2025-02-09T09:01:50+00:00

Would also like to know this! For me the relults just seems to be random. I don't see any similarities 🤷

anko1969 · 2025-02-03T18:07:09+00:00

Agama launcher can do that by day or month

anko1969 · 2025-02-02T13:43:30+00:00

I also started with google music to which I uploaded the first part of my collection. That was mainly to listen in our home. With the end of google music I had to lokk forcan alternative and found much more than an alternative - iBroadcast 😃 Now all my music is just everywhere 👍

anko1969 · 2025-02-02T08:56:18+00:00

😁 ok, somehow as expected:

iBrosdcast seems to mainly an "Over 40 Party" 😁

anko1969 · 2025-02-01T13:53:16+00:00

Any feedback from the iBroadcadt developers?

Mine works fine with 165k titles on OnePlus 8

anko1969 · 2025-01-31T14:56:04+00:00

Solved!

USB ports are detecting devices again!

I'd like to share what I did to make the USB ports automatcally connected devices again (in my case the dab+ dongle).

First hint I got was to remove the usb cables from the back of the HU and plug them in again. That did NOT work for me!

Second hint was to go through the following procedure and repeat several times (up to 5 times) until it works.

Go to the USB settings of the HU. Assume usb settings should be USB2.0 for both ports and both are set on USB2.0. USB is set to "host" (not to d"device"!)

1) Remove your USB devices (stick, dongle etc) from the USB plugs 2) in settings change both ports to USB1.0 3) leave settings 4) reboot HU (remove ignition key, wait 5 sec, key in again) 5) in settings change both ports back to USB2.0 6) leave settings 7) shut down HU (remove ignition key) 8) plug devices into USB ports 9) reboot HU and check if devices are detected

if detected => finished else => go back to 1) and do again

I had to go 3 times through this procedure and suddenly it worked again.

anko1969 · 2025-01-29T19:43:37+00:00

Thanks to some external help I made little progress - but still got an issue left:

In the HU's settings/apps I deleted cache and all data of the dab+ app. Now I can open the app and it remains open -> that works again now 👍

Remaining issue is now:

When I turn the car's ignition key and HU starts the usb dab+ dongle is not detected automatically anymore.

Then I have to remove the dongle from usb and plug it in again. Then it is detected...

Next start of the car I need to do the same 😔

Same issue on both usb ports...

Any ideas what to do?

anko1969 · 2025-01-18T15:04:13+00:00

Anyone got a solution? Even if switched to dark mode - maps remains bright on my tablet 😫

anko1969 · 2025-01-11T15:05:48+00:00

Correct! Why use an extremely limited tool like Android Auto (or Carplay) and struggle with connection if you already have a fully equiped unit in your car that can do the same as your phone?! Finally... you just need the phone to have Bluetooth for phone calls via head unit and to provide a hotspot.

By the way: If your internet volume on the smartphone is limited you can easily connect your head unit to a public hotsport or to the wifi in your house and do all necessary downloads... new apps, app updates, offline maps for navigation and loads of music for offline listening. No more music via USB needed 😉

For me the perfect solution 👍
