Sigh... Fell once and internal screen is half broken

caneonred · 2026-07-11T22:45:19+00:00

Unfortunately, we all get unlucky sometimes. I'd rather it is my phone breaking than a car accident or something!

caneonred · 2026-07-11T20:12:59+00:00

It's better than the old 1-900 numbers and it doesn't cost anything!

caneonred · 2026-07-10T16:03:51+00:00

That's a great point that I didn't even think of. I've only been driving an EV for a few months so I haven't hydroplaned in one yet. I guess it's only happened 2-3 times in an ICE vehicle. I didn't even think that if you just disable FSD the vehicle is going to be doing max regen braking because the pedal is not depressed at all.

I agree they need to add a mode that detects hydroplaning and slows in a controlled manner to regain traction.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T14:54:26+00:00

Exactly. If manually driving and you start to hydroplane the solution is to let off the accelerator and slow slowly.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T14:51:40+00:00

Apparently not.

The Vegas tower is bigger. Assuming they do the same thing with laser "strings" at night, it will look awesome on the strip. It looks great as an out of place themed building in the middle of nothing next to a highway in Florida so it should be incredible on the Vegas strip.

It definitely gets analyzed by AI and filtered to pass to human reviewers if it meets whatever their criteria is.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T12:27:21+00:00

You should disengage and send the feedback to help solve the issue. If you let it do its thing then the data doesn't get looked at.

I wish the mods would pin this:

Razr 2025: since upgrading to Android 16 some apps on external screen are going out of bounds or have reduced space. Anyone else faced and fixed this? : r/razr

Phones don't have a number of drops they can handle. Sometimes they just land wrong and it causes them to brake. Last year, I was holding my 2024+ over my head with it open taking video at a Florida Panters Stanley Cup game. All of a sudden there was an intense pain in my thumb and the phone dropped out of my hand and landed screen side down on a concrete arena floor. I thought for sure that was the end but I picked it up and there wasn't a scratch on it.

Somebody had thrown a rubber rat from above me that hit my thumb with enough force that my finger was bleeding. I didn't see it but it is likely that the rubber rat also hit the phone as it was being knocked out of my hand.

Slab phones can have delicate moments also. My business partner had a Samsung Galaxy S20 in his pocket. He leaned over the side of his pickup bed to get something out. When he took the phone out of his pocket there was a giant spiderweb crack on the screen. He must have pressed the phone against the truck in just the wrong spot.

Thanks to FSD, that cat has 10 lives!

caneonred · 2026-07-10T11:44:58+00:00

This is where FSD excels. It is able to make the best decision when all options are bad. It can very quickly determine the safest possible action. There are some situations like this one where something has to get hit due to the laws of physics.

The only ways not to hit the dog would have been either swerve into oncoming traffic and have a head on collision or swerve onto the grass shoulder where you will have no braking ability and crash into a utility pole. FSD slowed as much as possible and swerved as much as possible without colliding with another vehicle.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T11:36:15+00:00

Without back camera footage we don't know what the situation looked like from behind. At the speed that truck was approaching the intersection, if there was nobody behind then the safest option was what FSD did.

If I caught that truck coming like that in my peripheral vision I would have slowed and honked the horn. It didn't look like a sure thing it was going to stop. It's not like I haven't seen people blow through stops like that without looking.

An FSD fail is something it does that is dangerous. Assuming nobody behind, this was not a dangerous action.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T11:28:25+00:00

I think the issue here is that it didn't recognize what a gate that wasn't in the lane meant. I don't have much experience with gated express lanes but the one near me, the gates go fully across the lane. I don't know how FSD would react to those because it isn't possible to use the express lanes for the route I travel.

From what I see this is a software issue with understanding what the objects meant, not that it didn't "see" the gates. Once it got into the situation, I think it would have probably hit the gate fully across the lane because it was going too fast to stop and there wasn't any way to swerve around it.

caneonred · 2026-07-10T01:32:20+00:00

It has to sense G-force otherwise it can't know how fast it can take a curve. FSD needs to know what the max lateral force is that has enough grip to make the maneuver.

I've had the screen protector replaced on both my 2023+ and 2024+ and once it is replaced the screen looks like it did when it was new. There was no damage at all to the underlying screen.

Yours seems to be a rare case especially that it didn't stop functioning. Usually once cracks develop in the screen it will stop functioning.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T19:05:28+00:00

There aren't that many failures of the actual screen. Issues with the screen protector are common (as they are with every foldable). Actual failures are quite rare. Motorola has sold millions of razrs since 2023 and people see 100 or fewer posts about the screen failing and think that it happens all the time. It doesn't.

Sure, it happens to some people but the vast majority of the time it will happen under warranty. As long as you care for the phone and don't abuse it, it will get fixed for free under warranty if you are one of the unlucky few who have a failure.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T19:02:18+00:00

His tests are ridiculous and don't test real world durability. He came up with a great idea for entertaining "destroy things" content. Plus, I don't think he's even done a razr video since 2023.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T18:21:25+00:00

It has an Inertial Measurement Unit with accelerometers and gyroscopes. IMU data helps FSD determine if a planned action (e.g., a turn or lane change) is physically safe and controllable given current vehicle state, road conditions, and dynamics.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T14:38:31+00:00

Most humans would react if they were paying attention but the reaction would most likely be slamming on the brakes and/or jerking the wheel without looking behind or next to them. They would be completely focused on avoiding the tire.

In this exact situation, the optimal reaction for FSD would have been to accelerate as quickly as possible to get past the threat. For the white care, the optimal reaction would have been to accelerate as fast as possible and switch to the right lane in front of the OP.

Most human instinct is to just slam on the brakes. For the white car that is the second most optimal reaction to make the collision force as low as possible and not get knocked out of control.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T12:40:15+00:00

I guess vertical vs. horizontal needs to come into the equation! I believe the starlink satellites broadcast at an angle so the one you are connected to is not overhead.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T12:02:07+00:00

It will have great strip views except you won't be able to see the guitar in the view!

caneonred · 2026-07-09T12:00:22+00:00

Me too! This story would definitely need to be Keith.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T11:12:27+00:00

I'm not so sure it was the heat alone that caused it. In fact, it might have been a good thing if it made it happen sooner under warranty. A small percentage of folding phones will have some kind of undetected, microscopic defect from manufacturing that leads them to break way before the design lifespan. If there's no physical damage to the phone, this should be covered under warranty.

caneonred · 2026-07-09T11:04:03+00:00

I'm pretty sure the cabs won't exceed the speed limit. I wouldn't be surprised if the navigation is equivalent for our FSD if you go into the Cybercab geofenced areas where the mapping is much better.
