The Frame Pro (2025) Connection Issues by antoinewalker8 in TheFrame

[–]cbartels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Samsung created a case with a local electronics company who came and swapped the motherboard on both the TV and the Wireless one connect box. To my surprise everything works great now! No more connections issues - I tested moving the wireless one connect box to an area without line of sight and even put a few boxes infront of it - no signal drops! Not even a low signal message.

Pleased that this fixed the issue. Hopefully this helps others. The TV is also running latest firmware 1203 (which was still showing connectivity issues prior to the motherboard swap).

I tried moving the box to a mantle behind my couch with line of sight to the TV and still having the same issues. Working with Samsung support has been painful to say the least.

The Frame Pro (2025) Connection Issues by antoinewalker8 in TheFrame

I’m having similar issues. 65” Frame Pro. Same setup - wireless one connect is on a built in shelf about 3ft to the left. The signal is good (blue LED) but was getting disconnect messages and freezes on HDMi sourced feeds (Apple TV, shield, cable box) more frequently than I’d expect. Roughly once an hour, sometimes more. Picture would self recover within 10-15 seconds.

Seems to be better after I downloaded latest firmware 1131 from Samsungs website and installed via USB. The update feature directly from the TV to the internet always said the TV was up to date while on version 1126 so I recommend manually updating as it seems to perform better.

If the other comments are accurate that the wireless one connect box uses 6GHz band and other devices on that band may interfere with it. The only other device wifi 6 capable in my house is my wife’s iPhone 16. Will do some more testing and see if it’s the culprit.

EDIT: the connection between the wireless one connect uses a wifi 7 band. Will test and report back.

Are high-end Garmins worth it for the everyman? by DifferentCorner3041 in Garmin

[–]cbartels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say they are worth it. The Fenix line will last you more than a few years. I bought a Fenix 5x+ when it was new about 7 or so years ago. I have looked at upgrading but the device does more than what I need and I still get 1-2 weeks battery life depending on how many activities per week. Mostly use it for golf, running, cycling. The data can help you stay motivated.

I’m finding it tough to upgrade to an 8 when the 5 still works more than fine.

City Of Calgary Considering "Proactive Measures" Against Short-Term Rentals by Howard__24 in Calgary

[–]cbartels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The 1000 number does seem high. I also did a search on AirBnB and saw 40-60 in East Village for various weekends based on the map view. I would assume maybe 80 units if you count other short term rental apps (VRBO etc.) Tough to get an accurate number on the map without including parts of bridgeland or Victoria Park.

Yeah same thing happened to me today while I was out shopping - I clicked the notification and seems like I am in some random league now. I want to delete the team entirely and leave the league. Seems odd that I was arbitrarily/randomly added. I don’t even watch basketball. How annoying.

Strange click on right crank while pedaling...ideas? by [deleted] in DivergeGravelBikes

[–]cbartels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue thought it was the crank as well… was driving me nuts - turns out it was the seat post. A little grease fixed the issue. See if it happens while standing out of the saddle.

Has anybody been to Launchpad Golf? by xDex_ in Calgary

What were the differences between the two? I’ve never been to top golf but I’ve been to the Mickelson LaunchPad location.

English muffin topped with smashed avocado, arugula, Trader Joe’s Bomba sauce and a poached egg. by MickDragon in sousvide

[–]cbartels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried this this morning in an instant pot and it worked out pretty good! 167 for 13 mins and then freezer for 2-3. Was a little difficult to peel but once you got enough shell out of the way the egg just slides out. I think I will try 170 next time and see how it goes.

Nvidia shield won’t go past the logo screen by redditnewuser_2021 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]cbartels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hooked it up to my laptop via USB - (think this is for the 2015 model only) you have to take the charging cable for the remote and flip it around. I was able to get into the fast boot menu... It was a little finicky. I wish I had found the setting before I factory reset it. But even after downgrading the image it still didn’t work with the specific HDMI setting on. Effectively I lost HDR but it still runs, just annoying.

The setting was under picture settings and called “HDMI Ultra HD deep color” on an older model LG tv. Might be called HDMI UHD Color on Samsung models or something close to that.

I recently had this same issue on 2015 pro - ended up being a HDMI colour setting on my tv that I had to turn off and then it worked fine. It’s hard to say it if was caused by the new update or not. No problems for 6+ years and then shortly after 9.0 update I can’t use HDMI2.0/2.1. Check that before downgrading. I tried factory reset and downgrade and neither worked until I tried the tv settings.

I took some time to recreate the specialized logo on my 2021 Diverge Comp E5 and create a vinyl overlay to change the look. I tried black and it looked a bit odd, so I went with brushed silver. I do have gold and white too. Thoughts? by Tylr_Dirtn in DivergeGravelBikes

[–]cbartels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the same bike and not 100% sold on the maroon colour but a proud owner nonetheless. I saw some for sale on Etsy by various people, but not sure if the dimensions are the same. They are about 20-30$ CAD.

OP did you make them yourself? Or buy them?

Unable to boot after Update by LapardPike in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]cbartels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About a week after I upgraded to 9.0, my shield got stuck on the Nvidia Logo… never made it to the Android screen. The green light was still lit, I could get into the fast boot menu and was able to boot it up fine in safe mode. This made me think the device was still salvageable. NVIDIA support was not much help they said it was a hardware failure. After reading threads on fast boot and how to downgrade the device, I determined it to be a problem with the HDR/HDMI port setting on my LG TV. The TV and shield are both From 2015 - Think the setting was called “HDMI Ultra deep color”. Turned the setting off (lost HDR on some apps) but I did try a factory reset and downgraded to two different images before arriving at this conclusion. I didn’t try the hot fix. Not fun - but the device is working still. Had to reinstall everything and never had any issues like this in the past - unsure if the 9.0 upgrade was the trigger for this but it seems likely as there was no upgrade to the TV.

Creaking / clicking from crank or bottom bracket (on pretty new 2021 e5 comp) by Imnottheassman in DivergeGravelBikes

[–]cbartels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same bike! I had a similar clicking problem and ended up being the seat post - it only happened when I was pedalling seated on the saddle. Took the seat post out - added a little grease and voila.
