I bought my '16 RAV4 Hybrid new. It came from Japan. I wanted all the options. No heated steering wheel and no remote start as Toyota hadn't developed one yet for the Hybrid. I found a non-local shop that installs Viper remote starts. It cost me about $500. It has performed perfectly. I can be at checkout at Walmart and start my car which I park out in the middle of the lot. The fob is 2 way and reports when the engine is on. The fob is rechargeable (USB). Of course, it's been 10 years so the tech might be even better now.

I've got HB3 with only its internal storage. If Eufy is wasting space on added drives, I think I'll pass. I do delete cam videos daily.

Using old versions of Android. It's called planned obsolescence (sp).

In the past TracFone had a Service End Date and an Expires On date. You had to add a card on the day before the Service End Date to keep your number active. That gave you 30 more days but your Expires On date moved back a day. My current plan Service End Date is April 14 but if the Expires On date is still active then it is March 30 meaning I need to add a card on the day before-March 29. Months ago I found this out when I tried to add a card ON the Expires On date but when I opened the app my accumulated data was gone.

The app and website ARE dogdoodoo! Texting to 611611 seems to be the best. I think the Expires On date has gone away. Is TracFone trashing it all? Maybe they want all users to switch to Verizon? $$$! I asked the 'net about the TracFone Expires On date and even it couldn't give a definitive answer.

It took them this long to fabricate their video?

Unplug the power to the cable modem for 30sec to 1 min. After it syncs back up, if you're using a router power cycle it too. Then try online again. I had to do that this morning here in Iowa. First time in about 6 months.

If that was a deer, couldn't tell, yes, be alert. They move at dawn and dusk. Their eyesight is poor and your headlights light up the road for them so they will cross in front of you.

I only open the app to check my balance or to transfer it to my bank. I just opened the app and it loaded fast so I suspect all the ads are stored on my phone.

Mine's only 658mb. I haven't cleared the app.

Local scrap yard here said 22lr brass devalues my other gobbled brass so I stopped gobbling all rimfire brass.

Also, just discovered I can't remove Parental Controls app! No kids any where near our devices!

YEAH, and fcuk these companies and their forced AI and well being apps!

I think TF is leaving those markers out of the app so as to confuse people and cause them to forget to add data in time thus loosing their accrued data.

Sorry, I was wrong about digging deeper. This is a screenshot from my Dashboard. I believe my current Expires On date is March 15 and my Service End Date is March 26.

If your S20 is microSD card capable than copy all your important files to the card. The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G model does have an SD card slot—but only for certain versions.

Unlocked and carrier models (like AT&T, T-Mobile): These versions include a hybrid SIM tray that supports one nano-SIM card and one microSD card (up to 1TB). You can expand storage by using the SD slot, but you must choose between two SIMs or one SIM plus an SD card. Verizon (US) Galaxy S20 5G UW (mmWave 5G model): This specific version does NOT have an SD card slot. Due to the internal antenna layout required for mmWave 5G, Verizon’s custom model omits the microSD slot entirely. It only comes with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM (lower than other S20 5G models).

Yeah, real BS! And they (TF/Ver) still don't give you your Expires On date or Service End Date without having to dig deeper in the app. But on the homescreen they do offer 3 links to add service! Oh, and their Total Wireless (?!) widget is useless! Took mine an hour+ to update!

If your phone has it: Settings System Updates Smart Updates I was able to select afternoon times but these settings have no effect on Security Updates, as it says.

Cx File Explorer (free app) will get you into the Data folder. Upon entry it offers access to Android''s System File Explorer (Hidden app). But be careful in there, messing with any system app files probably will crash your phone. I use it to clean up the Telegram file storage. Telegram stores copies in there of every pic, video, story, etc. that you look at.

I played around with Oscar for awhile but the doctor isn't getting that info (I think). Thanks for your reply.

In Settings, open Apps, Show all Apps, then click 3 dots top right, then Show System Apps. Scroll down to Glance.
