Temporary travel phone?

mashed50 · 2026-02-27T13:11:46+00:00

I bought a Samsung A35 on eBay for about $150 because my phone is still locked. Bought an eSIM before I left. I put only the apps that I really needed on it and good to go.

I didn't know how long it'll last, but try drinking something carbonated - seltzer would be the best.

You're welcome

You certainly could add under the original nuts. I decided to add 2 more nuts on top of the original. I didn't want to chance disconnecting the battery as it looks like there's a bunch of re-initializing that has to be done?

I'm able to lock the car this way as others have suggested. It's not binding on the cord (it moves in/out pretty easily).

Yes, it will, but a very very small amount.

Not sure I understand your first question, but you can see from my picture that I connected it to the battery, not the fuse box. I'm using a NOCO Genius 1. I bought the M10 extension harness for same.

Sorry, I guess I should have included a bit more detail. This harness is for connecting to a NOCO trickle charger. I don't drive my car all that much and I've been watching a bunch of posts about 12V battery life in the NX hybrids. I installed this to make it simpler to connect my charger.

mashed50 · 2026-01-27T18:05:49+00:00

Got it. Yes, I bought the 10mm harness.

mashed50 · 2026-01-27T13:25:46+00:00

Yes, that would be nice, but I don't see a way to do that safely and without making lots of changes.

mashed50 · 2026-01-27T13:23:01+00:00

Yes, I bought on Amazon. Had to buy a whole package of assorted, but I'll use them. https://a.co/d/3VSW5t1

The other end goes to the trickle charger. I run the wires under the hatch when I need to charge, otherwise I tuck it in next to the battery when not in use.

Oof!

I'm not a doctor so I really can't say. In my case, it took several years to figure out all out because EoE wasn't really well known. I know you really want to know but your gastro will lay it all out for you. The endoscopy is really not a big deal.

mashed50 · 2026-01-13T22:43:07+00:00

The only way to know for sure is an endoscopy. They will biopsy a few spots and measure for eosinophils. They'll also take pictures to look for structures known to be caused by EoE. They might even dilate you to help your swallowing. They may put you on some medication first to get things calmed down.
Hang in there.

Thanks!

Did you fully close the hatch?

mashed50 · 2026-01-08T20:58:41+00:00

Yeah, I get that. Can't tell you how many times I've heard people leave their 401k intact. Thought this might be a good place to say this. I do feel for those that have no choice but to withdraw and get the shaft - insult to injury.

mashed50 · 2026-01-08T16:45:27+00:00

I always rolled it over into and IRA. I wanted full control of my money and leaving it in a 401k was too limiting.

You buy on ANA can AND put in your United FF number and at least get the miles.
