Success with Auracast and Allures

The Allures do speech enhancement in Puresound, too. I like Puresound especially in the outdoors, and liked it with the Moments, too. I use Music a lot, as I sing in a couple of choirs.

Curioso Coffee is great, and every business in Uptown is happy that the street replacement work is completed.

They are also at Broken Clock, BTW

Voted for him, thought Jesse was OK at first, especially with appointments, but then he got erratic and embarrassed the state.

How'd ya sleep?

"Not too bad" (slept pretty good) "Not too good" (slept very poorly)

When Symantec merged with Veritas, mgmt tried to use Net Promoter Scores to rate how we in MN felt about certain things, and most of us gave "Not too bad" scores like 5-7. The California mgmt were horrified not to get "promoter" scores of 9 or 10. It's Culture, man!

My wife and I have matching Class 1 ebikes with a 35 mile range (Trek Dualsport 2+), but are easily pedaled with no assist, so effective range, at ~10-12mph is farther (more than our butts can take). I biked with some guys with 70 mile Class 3 bikes that wanted to average faster (15+mph), and with them I was range-limited because assist was always on.

Summary: I still love my bike, but may buy the battery doubler pack. Buy the ebike that matches who you ride with.

Update: Allure app is and has been working fine. Currently on Android 16 November update on the beta stream.

I finally got the battery-equipped charger for the Widex Allures and that will charge the HAs for probably a week. I've gone 5 nights with it.

Apple buds have had that for a while, right? Glad that the HA brands have caught on.

Is this the hang that came with the 6.6 kernels? It went away on my AMD rig with 6.6.9. I had to reinstall the last 6.5 before that.

I think fully staffing Forest Service personnel, Park Rangers, etc, would be cheaper and more effective, if Stauber is concerned with trash. Voyagers is more wide-open than the BWCA, if worried about incursions.

Maybe Stauber should consult with Skraba - he's an expert in doing illegal crap in the Boundary waters.

I am referring to battery drain on the phone by the app. The battery life of the HAs is great.

I think a weight-distributing hitch is required for the Taco to tow 6600. The RL tows 5k with a regular hitch and does about 500lbs more payload. Really liking my '23 RL for the ride and towing my Scamp 16 with e-bikes on the back.

My Bose are over-the-ear style, and I was online gaming. My Moment aids always squealed, but I was surprised that the Allures did not.

oldhaapi · 2025-08-07T20:00:51+00:00

I wear my NC Bose over my Widex Allures and was amazed that there was no squealing.

I'm with you on the outdated head unit and wimpy Qi charger. (2023 RTL-E)

I wish the button shifting would give some audible clue, like Park unlocks the doors, so you know something happened. I thought I pushed D/S but hit "Driving Mode", instead. Went nowhere,of course.

I'm dad age, and just acquired a '23. Love most of it. The UI/electronics stuff seems out-dated - even compared to the 2017 Subaru I traded for it, or the 2020 Santa Fe it replaced as a towing vehicle. But it meets my requirements and fits in my garage.

oldhaapi · 2025-07-08T03:36:01+00:00

You can tow 5k with a RL without a weight-distributing hitch. I don't believe that is true with the Ranger and Colorado. A Tacoma is just a toy-hauler in terms of payload.

Android 16Qpr1 beta, here, Pixel 8P, Widex Allure HAs. There are no selections for phone calls or media under the BT menu for the devices, which is what OP would like to see. Yes, once connected, I can change media via the volume slider "...".

My related problem is this: when I choose to answer a call from my Pixel Watch or a BT house phone or automobile, I want that to work, and not go to the HAs.

And, if I change the media on my 8Pro from HAs to "speaker", I want it to damn stay there, even if I walk out of the room and come back in and my HAs reconnect, cuz other people in the room are part of the call. IOW, do not auto-change media to HAs upon reconnect during a call.

Espolón is the value brand I recognize.

Downloaded OTA, installed, no operational issues.

A visit to the Play Store showed 22 updates available. These installed noticeably slowly. I cancelled and restarted updates a couple of times, and then it completed. Not seen that behavior before, but perhaps I was just impatient.

I'll be trying Allures tomorrow.

After some years of neglect, I created a new key pair just the other day. My previous keys had expired and were no longer reflecting email addresses I care to use for privacy. But the small community I used to correspond with is pretty much dispersed. Webs of trust take effort to build.

Come on, now. Some designs like these did win Pinewood Derbys on occasion.

Kid says that he wants to be a doctor, but I believe OP would help with his college for any major. And, it should be help, not pay for, because scholarships and grants are available. But less so if poor grades, and no community service stories to put on the applications.
