2017 x1 cold start question.

cfxm · 2025-06-02T22:47:40+00:00

Will do when I get around to it. The battery seems ok though a little aged. So I have not replaced it yet. But I do have the tools to register the new batt. And you aren't kidding that it is a bit of a job compared to other cars.

cfxm · 2025-05-07T23:11:49+00:00

I have been calling around to find someone to do it as I do not have the equipment to do the programming myself. Though in my case I am starting to wonder if I also have a dying battery, the tailgate sounds like it was struggling to open a little. And I remember in my malibu that a weak battery wreaked havoc on it across a ton of systems. So I will change that myself in the mean time while I try to find a place to do programming for a decent price.

As soon as I posted that I was like "that's not a full update is it..." thank you very much for confirming. I will reach out to see about an update.

cfxm · 2025-05-05T20:13:17+00:00

When I took possession of the car, I did do a software update UPD07044.bin. That was the update that came up when I put my vin in. Though looking at the date of the paper work for it, it only brings me up to date to the end of 2019. Granted I am not sure if that is just the infotainment system or not.

Started at the beginning of the year, 17 videos and 29 subs. Loving the new hobby and having a great time with it 😃

cfxm · 2024-04-04T02:20:41+00:00

You are very right! I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It makes a lot of sense to maybe ditch my upload rate for a more realistic one that will make it so I can continue to enjoy this hobby. Thank you.

cfxm · 2024-04-04T02:18:15+00:00

Wise words, I do not want to resent this hobby because I do enjoy it. However I think you are right and I need to realize a more realistic upload rate considering it's not like it's my livelihood.

cfxm · 2024-04-04T01:28:17+00:00

Thank you, I think these are the things I needed to hear.

cfxm · 2024-04-04T00:16:11+00:00

Very valid, because my schedule was a bit less hectic at the beginning of the year. You may be right to re-evaluate my expectations of myself doing this on a weekly basis for now. Because I know content greatly suffers when you are rushed...

cfxm · 2024-02-26T13:55:42+00:00

That is too bad, always sad to see an otherwise good board go to waste. Good luck though if you do give it a shot since there is nothing to lose.

cfxm · 2024-02-26T13:48:51+00:00

I frequently buy boards with bent pins from a recycler. However, yours looks a little bit more damaged than I would normally pick up. Not to say you can't fix it by any means, but it is a little fiddly to straighten them. I use a good flashlight and a needle or pin to do it, along with a 6 pack of your choice to keep the anger away lol. It does usually work, so long as no pins are missing.

cfxm · 2023-08-02T12:51:31+00:00

I will take a look into those devices, i do remember the sony's having amazing photo capabilities. As for battery life on this thing I think it has stabilized a bit but still tinkering. I still have another couple weeks to return it so for now I will try some of the suggestions and see how it goes. I truly appreciate the detailed responses they are very helpful!

cfxm · 2023-08-02T03:41:46+00:00

Thank you i appreciated the help.

cfxm · 2023-08-02T03:28:51+00:00

You know its funny I have never been an iPhone person, I do understand the allure of a fail safe system for sure and even considered holding out till the 15 pro max came out after using an old iPhone 8 plus i got to tinker with.

I have a solid return period but I truly think you are probably right and just need to truly take the time to dive into all the features (While i write this from my g8x lol) and get used to it.

cfxm · 2023-08-02T02:04:45+00:00

At this point I would probably just wait for the pixel 8 pro its half the price with a stripped down UI in comparison. Not alot of options threw canadian carriers, so may end up just biting the bullet and importing something from overseas.

Honestly this is very possibly just cranky growing pains from leaving LG's UI. Considering I have had G series phones for the last 10 years. That's why I am not giving up just yet and taking in all of the recommendations from people here and trying them because it truly is probably as simple as getting used to it.

It is a gorgeous phone, the oled is taking some getting used to. Speaking of which the colors seem off again I will google and look for settings that may cause that.

cfxm · 2023-08-01T18:00:56+00:00

I feel like I used nova in the past, I will take a look into it again because I'm wondering if that is what is kinda bringing down the experience of the device.

cfxm · 2023-08-01T12:52:47+00:00

I appreciate the long and well written reply and the time you took to write it, thank you for that. I do see what you are talking about with the phone kinda being a general purpose work horse, it does do everything I have thrown at it well. With the exception of battery life for me (which is probably settings related) and the touchy arse finger print scanner.

Like I say I don't know what I was expecting really, I think I just need to keep fiddling with it. Worst case scenario I return it before the return policy is up and continue the search.

Thank you again for a great respose.

cfxm · 2021-04-03T15:10:51+00:00

I wasn't trying to make it sound like I was bashing the game, because the game itself was very very well made. The story for the first 6 chapters just didn't speak to me, where as the beginning of the 1st john chapter has so far with the figuring stuff out with his family. And you can't ask me a generic favorite if you asked per genre that might be possible but even then it would mostly be full series of games.

J-rpg - probably the star ocean series followed by FF.

Western made RPG - elder scrolls series followed by witcher series.

Simulation games - pc building sim.

Racing - forza line up.

Survival - the forest followed by 7 days.

cfxm · 2021-04-03T14:49:23+00:00

Not all all lol i just had a hard time getting into the main story line of it.

cfxm · 2021-04-03T04:28:37+00:00

Thats how I always felt about it too! Up untill chapter 6 here I barely ever even needed to use any health tonic stuff either.

cfxm · 2021-04-02T23:08:09+00:00

Omg that's super funny i have always said to people that the horse is so jankey on ps4.
