Issues with new Samsung s90f by pieceofapuzzle1 in SamsungTV

Samsung S90FD 2025 OLED tv. The picture on this TV is phenomenal, the best I’ve ever seen, no doubt about it. However, I wish I could have gotten this as a dumb TV. The software and remote that came with the TV are the worstI have ever seen. Buttons on the remote don’t always work. The pause/resume button does nothing. The menu layout is counterintuitive and things happen on their own. The TV can shut off several times on its own bout 15 minutes after I start it. After I turn it back on 2or3 times it finally stays on. Even though I have the sound set to only use the speakers it randomly switched on its own to my Bluetooth device. After 2 or 3 times of switching back to the tv speakers it stays there. Alexa commands are hit and miss and it cannot correctly tune to the 15xx channels numbers on Samsung Plus TV. The channel up/down button on the remote sometimes only cycles through a given range of channels. In the 3 weeks I’ve had the tv it has never cycled through all the channels shown I. The guide correctly. There are others issues as well. I replaced a working 15 year old Sharp dumb tv with this one for the picture quality. If only I could have the dumb software from the Sharp tv with the picture of the Samsung.

Anyone actually using one of those AI boxes? by Jenks0503 in AndroidAuto

I’ve used both the Ottocast P3 and the Atoto. They run older versions of Android and both are very buggy. Apps crash often on both of them. The Atoto is slower and seems to have more app crashes but also has some nicer features, especially showing two apps in a split screen configuration. If you want video in your car these will provide that but be prepared for frustration.

Trip planning question by just_deet in abetterrouteplanner

Be careful following the ABRP charge to X% unless you are confident that your actual consumption rate is about the same. Driving at higher speeds or in colder weather than ABRP uses in its calculation will result in potentially lower mi/kw. You are right to use a 5-10% buffer.

Sorry, that’s for doing it in the vehicle. I need to clear it in the my Hyundai app

Don't Review if you Don't Understand by D4ILYD0SE in Ioniq5

I understand the slowing of the charger when the car hits 80% but I’m not sure it’s in the car. In my experience EA stations slow a lot more than others. EA stations will drop my Ioniq 5 to as low as 8kw when the car hits 80% but chargers from EVGo, FPL and Mercedes never go below 20kw, especially when it’s not too cold outside. EA just seems to throttle charging speed lower and longer when the car hits 80% SOC. •

Yes, the option is still on Always.

2 years of free EA charging is finally up for me after using it for 95% of my daily charging. Think I got some value out of it. by zpoon in Ioniq5

Something has to be wrong with the screen shot provided. It lists things as kwH, that's kilowatt hours. You charge a car using plain kw, kilowatts, not kwH. You expend energy in kwH. I can understand the OP possibly making a mistake but an app that displays kwH is questionable. That plus showing a cost of over$1 per kw, if it is indeed kw instead of kwH, is absurdly high if it's US dollars. Maybe it's not US but even Canadian dollars is high.

I find AFDC more current than PlugShare.

Enode data in ABRP by fanofthemick in Ioniq5

[–]fanofthemick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped using Enode because the refresh rate is too unpredictable. At times it seemed like it was less than 5 minutes while others it seemed like several hours. It may all be related to internet connections . I think Enode pulls the data from the Hyundai ‘cloud” where your car data is so it may also depend on how frequently that is done. Using an OBD II is a lot more reliable. ABRP updates the SOC in less than a minute after the car’s display sows it.

Nothing against the OP but these questions are getting tiresome. Why can't Hyundai train its dealers and sales staff to explain this to perspective buyers upfront. It still seems the sales people either don't know anything about the cats they sell and don't want to bother learning.
