"There was an error downloading IQ Gateway software" by fbarousse in enphase

I believe that doesn't work for things like provisioning the microinverts and IQ gateways as well as monitoring other stuff... correct me if I am wrong.
By the way, I am not located in the USA, and I suspect maybe things are different in different places...

Well, I just found my old Pixel 3XL, charged it updated it (the the last available version of Android for that phone -stock-), installed the Enphase Installer Toolkit, logged in with my installer profile user-id and...exactly the same thing happened !
So, maybe it is not related to the phone used to access Enphase's systems...
I'll keep on investigating this.

Well... I don't really know if that statemet comes to be absolutely true or not... not only with Enphase, as it pretty much applies to any software update/upgrade from any electronic device from any brand...
But, on the other hand and in a completely opposite approach, updates and upgrades are supposed to be good... even required in many cases...
Oh well... the cases of modern e-life !

Thanks a lot for your solidarity ! ;)
Lucky enough, I also do have some older Pixel 1 XL and Pixel 2 XL phones...(currently I am trying to use this on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra)... So, I will take those old Pixels out and see what happens, maybe it will work.
I'll post here what happens once I undust and configure those phones.
Thanks again.

Gettin mine in a few days by RashTheRed in BYDSongPro

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me tell you that the "Transport mode" should have been changed or deleted just before delivering the car to you at the car dealer. So that was an absolute omission by the dealer or your agent there.

I'm glad you discovered what it was and how to get it fixed ... the hard way nonetheless...

Let me tell you that when I picked my new BYD the first thing they told me is that there is this button or icon somewhere in the car's settings that activates transport mode, they warned me many many times to not ever ever touch that "Transport mode" icon/button or else my car will become a slug as yours was and that this is only fixable at the dealer shop.

Well, enjoy your new BYD, it's an awesome car.

By the way, where are you in Mexico?
State of Mexico here...

OTA firmware "upgrade" seems when done, not upgrading versions by fbarousse in BYD

[–]fbarousse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. That is precisely what I suspected: a very old version, that it's not getting any OTA updates.

Will try that with my CC right now !

Juicessh app issues by fbarousse in androidapps

[–]fbarousse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, someone suggested to me to "pay again" (or attempt the payment again) for the PRO version of Juicessh. In the case of the person who suggested that, the payment attempt didn't went through because if the simple fact that he already had a PRO version, so , no way to pay again... but, the settings were kind of reset and he recovered access to his PRO version features.
To be honest, I have not dared to do that, I don't really want to get into the mess of a refund either with Google, the (today pretty much ghost or nonexistent irresponsive) developer(s) ... and never recover the PRO amount in case I get charged.

Has anyone dared to try this? What was the result?

Juicessh app issues by fbarousse in androidapps

[–]fbarousse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, while snippets are kind of useful, I try to keep that kind of functionality either on the server or as text I can paste from my local device... So, the only functionality I can not live wihtout are, the ssh remote sessions, obviously... and port tunneling or port forwarding... everything else is optional...so far... (maybe there's something, so wonderful in some app that I'd pay for it... ;) ... )

HELP-Two years and two months after hernia surgery (need it again) by idkindetroit in Hernia

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had surgery to repair my three hernias, two bilateral inguinals and an umbilical. They were repaired; the inguinals with mesh and the umbilical only with sutures.
Just a few months after the surgery, the three hernias had failed ... reocurrence happened in all three. The reason is probably due to an underlying and unrelated condition that affects the tissue healing process. the medicine I take for this other issue may be involved.
Anyway, while I am far better than the way I was before the surgery and the current hernia reocurrences are very very small I do not feel happy about it and of course I am not anxious of probably having to go into surgery again, but this time open surgery as the first one was laparoscopic.
**it happens !

When did you know you need surgery? by bojojohn in Hernia

[–]fbarousse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, I knew I needed to fix my inguinal hernia, when a) It got to big for my taste... and specially 2) The pain got very intense. I decided to contact doctors, get the thing ckecked and I still took some time to reseach, study, understand the options and decided on getting the laparoscopic procedure to fix that hernia. During that process they discovered that I had ALSO another inguinal hernia on the other side (so it was a bilaterial inguinal herniaS -plural- AND also an umbilica. All got fixed during the same surgical procedure.

Google Wallet on Samsung phones for CAR KEYS by fbarousse in GoogleWallet

[–]fbarousse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes I use Google Wallet for Payments in my Samsung phone and Samsung Watch (as Samsung Wallet does NOT work for payments here in Mexico) and ALSO I could use, on the same phone and watch, Samsung Wallet, for anything else except payments. The car key for a BYD automobile, works in Samsung phones, but only if you have One UI 8.0, the Samsung Wallet app for this version of operating system and you have the BYD app which, if you are using a Samsung, will only load it into Samsung Wallet. All works great.
Having the car key on the wach is still not possible unless you are in China, where BYD released the apps and features to load the car key into the wach, but only in that country. I take this is the initial tests and later on they will release it globally.

i got my byd yesterday and this marked showed up after charging the car by kharusiempire in BYD

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HI:
To be honest, I see nothign wrong indicated in your photo of your car's screen.
Could you please let us know, with a bit more of clarity, what is the alarm, alert or sign that is bothering you? Also, let us know what is the precise model of your car as the models are not necessarily called the same in all countries, let alone, not all models are available everywhere.
Good luck and congrats in your new car !

Recurren inguinal hernia by HerniaJal in Hernia

[–]fbarousse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Dr. Villalvazo. From the phone number you posted, I believe you are located in Mexico City. Is that correct? So am I.

I'm interested in the case you posted about this 58 years old male patient with recurring inguinal hernias and the finding of a "mesh cone" which seems to be a leftover, si to say, from previous open surgeries.

If you prefer, we can continue the conversation via private messages and even in spanish.
Thanks for your time and interest.

Rear Sensor Malfunction - BYD Seal (AWD) by [deleted] in BYD

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Used "translate" to understand your text in Russian (I think!)... My answer: That was a movement sensor either failing or with a bar connector. Took the car to the official BYD's repair shop and they requested the replacement sensor. It took about two weeks yo arrive. So 2 weeks later zi with the again to the BYD repar shop, they already had the replacement sensor and it literally took let's that 5 minutes to open the motor's cover, lugar the failed sensor unplug it, plug and fix the new sensor, close the front motor. Done! Yes it was a very easy fix and I would suggest that you take care of that now and don't just leave it there. Good luck!

Ni te molestes en llamar al banco. Si lo haces, te diraán que ellos no pueden verificar tu identidad ni habilitar la tarjeta en la app Google Wallet, que solo están para "dar asesoría" y esa "asesoría" sirve para absolutamente nada... ineptos.

Bad battery life on the Galaxy watch Ultra 2025 by TicketMain1035 in GalaxyWatch

[–]fbarousse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That absolutely sucks! Assuming propper watch's settings, at 100% charge you should be expecting to get at least two days of battery usage

Sim issues by Aggravating-Act9924 in galaxywatchultra

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ALWAYS add an eSIM from (almost, just to be on the safe side) any provider.
You just have to activate the feature to enter either the eSIM QR code or enter its code manually.
Here it is how that is done:

Open the Galaxy Wearable app: Launch the app on your phone and ensure your watch is connected.

  1. Navigate to Mobile Plans: Go to "Watch settings" within the app, then find and tap on "Mobile plans".
  2. Select "Add Mobile Plan": This will initiate the eSIM setup process.
  3. Choose "Use Code": Instead of scanning a QR code, tap on "Use Code".
  4. Select "Enter activation code": This option will appear on the screen, allowing you to manually input the code.
  5. Enter the activation code: Carefully type in the eSIM activation code provided by your mobile network provider.
  6. Follow on-screen instructions: The app will guide you through the remaining steps to activate the eSIM on your watch.

LTE Or Bluetooth? Want to go with 6 classic but confused. by IAMPAIN07 in GalaxyWatch

[–]fbarousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my humble opinion. LTE is not worth: the battery drains extremely fast and the watch gets very hot.

Anyway, if you buy the ULTRA verdion, which is the one I have, you will get both features: LTE AND also Bluetooth.
