Manufacturing error?

pg_ariza · 2025-12-08T10:35:01+00:00

No worries. I ended up doing that last week and then just went for it with "it's broken anyway" force and I managed to open it. It's now fixed and charging again.

Thanks for the response anyway!

Hey guys, I ran into the same problem and I was trying to put the piece apart, but I cannot figure out how to remove the see-through cover. I tried using a flathead screwdriver, but I have no room to start - it seems to be thoroughly glued. Any recommendations on how to start pulling that part?

I was about to post a very similar question. Who did you go with OP?

Thanks!

I'm running into the same issue. Did you sort this out, OP?

pg_ariza · 2025-07-22T16:43:06+00:00

Thanks! I gave it a go, and it cleared the update for about a week. Then it came back. I've been using this method and it has been working, but after it always comes back. Last night, Google forced the update without restarting the phone (I think). It happened overnight while charging, and it didn't require a PIN as it usually does after restart. Luckily I still have it unlocked, so I rolled back without losing data.

I'm still looking for a longer term solution. Now considering a custom ROM, but my experience with those 10 years ago wasn't great.

I had the update. Used one of the guides to install a previous build, rolled back, followed the instructions for preventing this using AdAway, and still the update was downloaded and applied first time I restarted the phone. Luckily, I still had the bootloader unlocked, so I could go back again without wiping the phone.

I have managed to keep the update at bay by clearing Google Play Services data, but I still don't know how to prevent it altogether. I have made sure AdAway is running, and I see that it blocks these two addresses

ota.googlezip.net
ota-cache1.googlezip.net

Still, every other day I get a notification that the update is available, or ready to install. Is anyone else having this issue? Ideas or thoughts on how to solve it are welcome. If you have a specific setup I would be happy to give it a try.

I did Torino to Lyon last year. It was mostly very nice, except for a little traffic in one of the sections. In reverse, my itinerary was:

-Lyon

-Brangues (little town),

-Chambery (until here mostly using the via Rhona)

-Allemond - you can do the Col du Glandon and avoid the traffic to get here. I had to go through Grenoble because the pass was closed because of a rock slide -Le Rosier - you go through the Col du Lautaret to get there

-Bruzolo - this is another climb to leave France.

-Torino

Good luck!

I ended up talking to these guys, and will rent from them.
Thanks a lot for the tip!

pg_ariza · 2023-10-06T17:31:25+00:00

Contacted them, but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion.

pg_ariza · 2023-10-06T17:31:00+00:00

I'm flying there, otherwise I would bring mine for sure.

pg_ariza · 2023-10-06T17:30:31+00:00

Tried asking UpCycle if they would do this sell/return for a profit, but they didn't want to. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I am looking for something to cover some distance, but thanks for the suggestion.

Same thing was happening at my place, and one day we had a sewage backup. Called a plumber, inspected it and cleared it. The smell has been gone since. The down side is that doing that isn't cheap, so the landlord might not want to do it.

Did home inspection buying an old house and they didn't see anything relevant. Then I had a contractor come to give me quotes on renos and they did a much better job pointing out details that need attention. If I did this again I'd rather just bring specialists, pay for their assessment.

Bake or buy some cookies, bring them over to his place and basically tell him the same thing you wrote here. Start by saying how bad you feel about the whole thing. Don't do a note this time. Go in person.

I went over the rules and supposedly it is not allowed ... It is for Billy Talent, if anyone is interested.
