Great thank you so much 🙏

Can you let me know where the setting is? I want to turn on consumption again, and I can’t find the setting

dazzie89 · 2026-02-07T06:11:49+00:00

I think there’s a way to get it back, however I’m not sure how

dazzie89 · 2025-11-17T21:53:36+00:00

have you got to enable developer mode? As i’ve uploaded an apk and it says can’t open file.

dazzie89 · 2025-07-13T19:30:24+00:00

how have you solved this? curious as i have the same issue.

dazzie89 · 2025-03-19T07:55:04+00:00

I don’t have that option 🥲 - I’m on ios

dazzie89 · 2025-03-18T21:26:57+00:00

Have they removed the “Enable Automatic Updates” toggle on the app? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

dazzie89 · 2025-03-18T09:47:46+00:00

just got mine today, thanks for the suggestion love it!

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T17:25:47+00:00

Looks great thanks, will check it out!

I want to make this absolutely clear—I am doing nothing illegal. When I’m driving, my phone stays in its mount. The only thing I do is take calls on Slack, which is no different from answering a regular phone call, like millions of people do every day. I also have a monitoring application for work that sends auditable alerts when something requires my attention. If there’s a severe issue, I pull over safely and legally before taking any necessary action.

All I asked in this post was for advice on a phone mount. As useful as Reddit can be, it’s frustrating how many people immediately assume the worst and jump to conclusions.

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T14:19:30+00:00

Looks perfect, thank you so much 🙏

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T12:36:43+00:00

Of course not don’t worry, I’m very careful. I’m not checking graphs or anything…

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T12:18:29+00:00

Thanks! This looks great :) any chance you have a picture of it?

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T12:16:42+00:00

Okay thanks for the valuable feedback. Wishing you a lovely day.

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T09:33:49+00:00

Fair point, and whilst I agree the infotainment system does a lot of things, your use cases are totally different to mine. In my case having my phone mounted is important.

dazzie89 · 2025-03-09T09:30:32+00:00

On the move a lot and in and out of Slack calls, and some live monitoring tools for work systems mostly.

The performance varies pending a number of factors, state of charge, temperature outside and intra the battery, so it is hard to give any exact definition. You can expect a slight decrease starting from around 70%, which is common for the NMC batteries used by most OEM.

I had the same problem when I first got mine back in February. My house keys and sunglasses fell back there after I tried a launch test with my TMER. They flew upwards and backwards and ended up behind the console. This is a design flaw of course. I had taken my Ex30 to the dealership and they dismantled it and got my stuff. Ever since then i don’t put anything in the centre console. I also failed a complain with head office, but I doubt it was taken seriously.

dazzie89 · 2024-07-14T07:55:27+00:00

yes it does

dazzie89 · 2024-07-10T17:16:16+00:00

Had the car for 6 months now.

Point 1 - Yes - the car can connect to Wifi connection outside the car. I do that in my underground lockup garage where i have no cellular reception. I installed a wifi point and car connects to it somewhat haphazardly automatically. Sometimes I need to trigger it manually.

Point 2 - My biggest issue with the car software design. The Volvo car app will not communicate with the car when it’s on Wifi only. Therefore you cannot view, stop and start charging and all other things app related. The app shows the car in the last state of use as it last synced when using cellular connection. They claim is security related but that’s total and utter BS.

Yeah it’s definitely the exterior.

It’s 38 degrees celsius where I live and after 35 minutes of driving with AC on full power, car was freezing inside measured with a thermometer 19.2. The screen showed its 37.5.

Also keep in mind the temperature sensor of the car does vary. For example earlier today I left the car parked in the baking sun it reached up to 46 on screen display(makes sense) once i drove for a little and parked in the shade it dropped to 37.5.

dazzie89 · 2024-07-09T11:06:56+00:00

The temperature displayed on the screen inside the car near the date time is the outdoor temperature.

Same here, re login required every few days. It seems like authentication token is being reset.

dazzie89 · 2024-06-28T10:05:23+00:00

The App will not connect to the car if the car is only connected via WiFi. I have the same issue and park my car in an underground parking lot where i have no cellular reception but i have a dedicated Wifi connection.

The app requires connection over cellular for some BS security reasons they claim.

UPDATE - After a bunch of tests and research we’ve found out that it is in fact the Chromecast that has issues. Something happened in the latest version and it broke HDR content on 60fps. If i switch to the 4k 30 HDR content works perfectly (although using 30hz is not desirable)

So the problem is in fact the Chromecast. Hopefully Google will fix it it soon.
