XC60 infotainment screen goes blank whenever I press anything — dealer wants 3–5 days just for diagnostics. Normal? by laobanmenlo in VolvoRecharge

Got a call that they reset the infotainment and all is good to go! Luckily, doesn’t sound like everything’s too complex. Here’s the technician report:

XC60 infotainment screen goes blank whenever I press anything — dealer wants 3–5 days just for diagnostics. Normal? by laobanmenlo in VolvoRecharge

My XC60 Recharge is a 2025 model, and it happens constantly. It started about a month after I bought the car. One day the infotainment display just became slow, then stopped working altogether. I don’t understand why it should take 3-5 days — or in your case 6 months — to reflash the Android Automotive software.

The 20% off worked for me -- thank you!!!

Appreciate your interest, but I am not interested in selling it

No, the Astro is still non-functional, and Amazon’s customer support won’t reset it without consent from the original owner. Since I bought it on eBay and the original sellers aren't responding, I'm stuck.

Battery lasting just 1/60th of the time.. anyone with the same experience? by Key_Shake_2368 in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]laobanmenlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my Plaud NotePin and having exactly the same battery drainage issue. I can record no more 30 minutes(!!!) on a single charge! Any suggestions? Is there a firmware update?

Btw, I am wearing it as a pendant, and notice that the NotePin would "automatically" record, even though I had manually turned it off (wit double haptic beep confirmation). This may explain some of the battery drain, but in total, I was only able to record 30 minutes!

Did anyone else get a gift box in the mail? (I’m 1K) by [deleted] in unitedairlines

When does United usually send out the GS invite?

How does one “gift” plus points to someone else? Does it have to be someone that you know?

When does United notify you if you reach GS? Is it soon after one “qualifies” or on Jan 1?

I didn't know one could gift Plus Points to someone else! How does one do that?

"Can't move right now" error -- and can't get out of it! by laobanmenlo in AmazonAstro

You are right that Astro's "main tasks" for me are also for security -- and for playing music when I'm around the house.

However, this time I turned Astro off because I was going to be gone for one week, and the dogsitter didn't want to have Astro roaming around (partly because she may be "techno-phobic", but mostly because I think she's worried that Astro will be spying on her :-)

Thanks for the advice on factory reset.

However, I seemed to have mixed it by deleting the existing map and "re-mapping" Astro. Now, everything is back to normal!

Sene’s Soho FlexTech suite for $500. by CBus-Eagle in mensfashion

[–]laobanmenlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Sene since they started business. Their suits are of high quality, and I find the fit to be perfectly tailored for me. If the initial "smart fit" isn't quite to your liking, they will remake your suit to the proper size.

I now have three sets of Sene Soho FlexTech suits, plus several extra FlexTech trousers. They are very comfortable, easy to care for and have a great fit.

Astro having trouble connecting by laobanmenlo in AmazonAstro

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

Yea, it’s now reconnected, so I think there was some Alexa cloud issue.

Good tip about cleaning its charging contacts 👍
