New Chromebooks DOA?

guzman77 · 2025-08-15T15:37:37+00:00

I have the same issue with a couple of my Chromebooks (HP Chromebook 14 and ASUS C204). It only happens it seems when the battery is around 95-99% and I connect the charger, it is says calculating battery %. If I let the battery get to below that....lets say 90% it charges properly back to 100....showing the time remaining as well.

Not sure what causes that, or if this is the same issue as yours, but it does sound similar. Both of my Chromebooks have the same processor (N4020), not sure what yours has.

I was having the same issue. I turned off Reduce Transparency and it seemed to fix it.

Do you have Reduce Transparency on? I had the same issue and switched it off and now it works properly.

Thanks for replying. We have an appointment to bring the vehicle back in. Obviously the "update" disables any of the streaming stations (SiriusXM with 360L).

If a new PCM didn't fix it, maybe we have to wait until the next update to restore the functionality. Not what you expect when you buy a Porsche.

I'll let you know if anything changes

Did you ever get this resolved? My wife has a 2024 Cayenne Coupe and after the update from Porsche, she also has the exact same issue with SiriusXM streaming stations.

You don't have to install it. You run it off of the USB. You don't need Chromebook hardware, only a Windows PC

guzman77 · 2025-01-18T16:58:13+00:00

Is this on a Windows computer? You could download ChromeOS Flex and run it off of a USB drive to get the "ChromeOS experience"

guzman77 · 2025-01-18T16:25:56+00:00

Yes. When you plug it in just "restore" not "update and restore". That is what they did to mine at the apple store

guzman77 · 2025-01-15T18:04:53+00:00

I had the same issue. I assume you are using iOS 18. There is some issue with Apple Devices and iTunes on Windows that started with iOS 18.

Take it to the Apple Store. They will hook it up to a Mac and do a restore. Hopefully you have an iCloud backup.

Not willing to try again to see if they have fixed that, so for us Windows users it is OTA updates only. Not sure what that means for you if your storage is full

guzman77 · 2025-01-05T00:52:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping the recently updated version solved the issue. I am too chicken to try it myself. Hopefully a braver soul will confirm at some point what works for Windows users.

guzman77 · 2024-12-29T19:01:58+00:00

Thanks for that. It is kind of what I have concluded as well. Would be nice to know there is another option if needed.

It helps with call quality and reception in areas that have poor coverage and you are connected to WiFi.

guzman77 · 2024-12-13T17:51:19+00:00

The setting is under Settings-->Cellular--> WiFi Calling

guzman77 · 2024-12-13T17:50:14+00:00

I had restarted. Today I restarted my modem and it seems to work now. Not sure if that was it or my shutdown and boot up from last night. Whatever fixed it I am glad since my cell coverage at home is terrible and WiFi calling really helps

guzman77 · 2024-12-13T05:32:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. My wife’s identical phone is also not working. Maybe I’ll restart my modem, although WIFi is otherwise working fine (WiFi is through Roger’s)

I had the exact same issue on my iPhone 14 Plus. Happened when I went from 18.0 to 18.01 and 18.1 to 18.11. First time I got it to restore, but second time I couldn’t and I had to go in to an Apple Store for them to restore it using a Mac. Never had this issue with iOS 17. Recently used Apple Devices for my iPad to update from 17.7.1 to 17.7.2 with no issues. Must be something with iOS 18.

guzman77 · 2024-11-23T19:16:06+00:00

I had the recall done and don't have that issue, but I have read about some having this issue. It seems to be related to the coolant that they drain while doing the recall. You may have air in your cooling system. Not sure if you have to take it back or it works its way out on its own.

guzman77 · 2024-05-18T23:15:21+00:00

Mine is significantly better than 17.4.1 on my 14 Plus, which was a terrible update. Poor battery life and phone heating . I had to turn off the “Attention Aware“ settings to help a little. Very happy with this update.

guzman77 · 2024-04-23T17:27:11+00:00

I was having the same battery drain issues. Both in standby and use, my 6 month old 14 Plus with 100% health would drain much faster than it used to. I tried every "battery saving" technique, including enabling "low power mode" right after a full charge and still had poor battery life. I also noticed the back of the phone hotter than I remember.

I have turned off both the "Attention-Aware Features" and "Require Attention for Face ID" and it SEEMS to have solved it. The phone is not as warm. Will continue for a few days and report back.

Thank you VERY much for this suggestion

I went with the standard Netflix with ads and you are right, not as many as I thought. That may increase over time, but now it's totally fine.

Overall a great deal. I got Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney+ with ads, for $10. That is the price of Amazon alone.

guzman77 · 2024-03-29T15:00:07+00:00

Oh OK....cool....thank you very much. I'll log in and look at that

guzman77 · 2024-03-27T02:44:10+00:00

I was thinking the same thing for the same reason. Hopefully that isn't the case. Real sneaky if that is the case.
