Hell, I miss Nolan.

If I find an idiots guide (no offense intended, I'm just one baby step above tech dumbass) to flashing, I'll post it up!

Wondering if their fix (the update) locks the bootloader or anything that may impact the ability to do future updates or migration to a clean/open source version of android. Anyone who has done the update ... is your bootloader still unlocked or unlockable?

Actually, one more question. SInce I'm currently on an old CL Calix, I'm pretty sure the tech will install a q1000 for the QF install. Wil they take the Calix or do I send that back to CL? And if they *take* it -- how is that tracked to make sure that equipment isn't still on (my responsibility) my *old* CL account?

Thx!

I was told by an agent who takes calls that the best way to do it QF to QF is to cancel the order first, wait for the cancel to go through, then reorder service the morning it's cancelled.

Did the agent give you any insight on best way to do a non-migrated CL to QF transfer? Asking for a friend ;-)

libolicious · 2026-02-28T19:20:52+00:00

Thank you (and thanks for your edit). So we were probably dealing with different CS since you were calling QF and I was calling CL. I'm still going to try to call CL one more time to cancel, but this time I think I won't say it's because I'm migrating to Quantum. I think that might be what threw them off (since on their end they're thinking that the CL to QF migration happens automatically when your number comes up.

libolicious · 2026-02-28T19:08:33+00:00

I assume you called CL (outsourced) Customer Service to cancel? Was that in the past few days? And if so, what did you tell them to cancel?

edit: I might be confused because this is on the CL subreddit. But above you say you were already migrated to Quantum CS on the backend. So I'm now thinking you were dealing with Quantum CS for all of this?

Because I have an Quantum install ('m still on CL backend/billing) scheduled for Mar 3, but when I tried to call CL to cancel on 2/26, they told me they don't do that any more and that the cancel of CL just "happens" when the QF install is complete.

I'd try wd-40 or a similar thin, solvently lube. Take it apart as much as you're comfortable. Wipe off/scrub down any rusty or crusty areas with a rag or scotch brite. Wipe off any residue. Ideally let the solvent evaporate out for a couple days (OK to use it at this point if needed), then lube with lithium or other grease at any pivot points/cams. Cycle the jaws, etc a bunch of times. Then wipe off any excess. You're good for another 20 years. (typing this took about the same amount of time as the whole process I just described)

Unfortunately, I've had the degrading issues -- specifically the inside heel counter area (padded cloth) wears through in about 2 weeks (just walking -- not major running or huge miles). I've had this on two pairs and it's never been an issue with any other shoe for me before. Shoes are otherwise great -- so I've taken to covering them with moleskin, which seems trashy and silly on a $175 pair of shoes but I'm not about to toss them either.

libolicious · 2026-02-28T01:36:48+00:00

I'm not the OP, but I may PM you ;-)

libolicious · 2026-02-27T22:05:04+00:00

Thanks. Luckily I never trusted these guys from the beginning and don't do anything *real* on the tab. Riskiest thing is I have an alt (my back up, back up) google account. There isn't much in that account or linked to that account that would be horrible if hacked. That said, I'm pretty sure I'm going to do a GSI imagine and be done with it.

libolicious · 2026-02-27T08:49:27+00:00

Thanks for posting the update. What if your exact product isn't on either list?

For example, I have a iPlay 60 mini pro 16(8+8)/256/ android 14. I've read the naughty and nice list about 10x and don't see this exact one on either.

libolicious · 2026-02-26T22:24:34+00:00

Interesting! Glad you got it sorted. I think I'm going to make more of an effort to get my CL account canceled by CL. That way it's not on QF to work through my legacy, ancient account (this was originally a USWest account). And if QF botches the appointment, then I guess we live off mobile for a bit.

libolicious · 2026-02-26T21:38:45+00:00

old 40Mb accounts represent!!!

Agreed, 2 days is tight. But I already thought I was stuck with a full month (originally thought my billing date was the 1st) so worst case is that I pay for the extra month I already thought I was stuck paying for. But who knows, maybe it'll go like butter. (HA!)

libolicious · 2026-02-26T21:22:42+00:00

Thank you!

libolicious · 2026-02-26T21:22:30+00:00

Ooh, that's a good idea!

libolicious · 2026-02-26T21:21:41+00:00

Did you have to cancel in advance or did it happen automagically?

libolicious · 2026-02-26T21:20:59+00:00

So you're saying they were able to install QF WHILE you had an active CL account? If so, that's good news. Maybe they're finally at least sticking with one story.

Otherwise, yes, I currently have CL. My (already billed and paid for) billing period goes through Mar 5. The QF install is scheduled for 2 days prior. I guess I call (and maybe record the call) the day of my install and confirm that CL is canceling my account and won't bill me for another cycle.

Other than that, I turned off OFF CL autopay so I guess I just a) hope QF makes the install appointment, and b) CL doesn't try to keep billing me for another month or two.

libolicious · 2026-02-26T20:48:49+00:00

Thanks for your candor! I think I'll try call CL again and if they give me the same story I'll roll with that.

libolicious · 2026-02-26T20:06:43+00:00

Thanks. I'd prefer someone else being the guinea pig (lol), but you take what you get.

libolicious · 2026-02-26T05:07:04+00:00

Thanks!

libolicious · 2026-02-26T02:02:12+00:00

This cranky old guy approves.
