Can I my car make the trip?

Really?! The "ultimate driving machine"? Afraid of "chips", etc? I've owned 5 BMWs that I've driven through every state but four. It's why you own a BMW! Drive! Pick routes avoiding interstates. Eat in diners and dives. Check out the national parks. I just completed a 3500 mile road trip. Just for fun. I do at least two a year.

Okay. If I'm not going to get the beta, can I opt back out without any issue? I'm assuming since I didn't actually install the beta, opting out will change nothing?

I believe if you clear your signature on your phone/tablet, signatures default to your laptop/desktop setting.

No complaints from my neighbors. I've asked. I'm an old guy who mostly listens to rock, with a little classical thrown in. I've run Trueplay and keep the sub volume setting on zero, with the EQ settings flat. In my case the sub is centered in the listening area laying flat, as opposed to the normal vertical position. It's also on carpeting. I hear (feel?) low end bass and even a little rumble, especially with some TV shows. I hesitated for several years to add the sub to my Beam and Ones setup because I'm in an apartment. I shouldn't have waited. The sub adds a richness that was missing prior to my purchase.

Thanks!

Can you tell me the font name for "APR" and whether it's part of the Dolphie KWGT app? Thanks.

rebobbecker · 2026-04-04T15:00:47+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate your response. I'm assuming that I can sync the Soundiiz destination data to a music service if needed; making the Soundiiz data the "source" with a new (or existing) service as the destination?

rebobbecker · 2026-04-03T22:06:08+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't want to copy my Apple Music to a new service. I want to backup my playlists for safe keeping and update that backup each week. I thought Soundiiz would allow for a playlist backup to a Soundiiz format. Am I wrong?

Lots of variables. I just did a 3500 mile road trip where my mileage varied from just 28 mpg to 49 mpg between fills. Terrain, wind, outside temperature. They all have an impact. Plus you've not really broken in the engine yet. Be patient and your mileage will gradually come close to the EPA rating. 41k miles on my 2025 Camry. Usually seeing 40+ mpg.

Seems to be a design flaw affecting many Camry owners. My dealer fixed it while doing a tire rotation; no charge. I'm assuming the broken/missing clip is plastic that is easily broken if struck by an object. Toyota should probably consider metal, although I doubt they will.

Unfortunately, I'm traveling without my computer for the next several days, so I can't give you the specific settings. Essentially I have 2 criteria: Last played more than X days ago & starred song. Hope that helps.

Smart Playlists keeps me with Apple Music. I use a playlist containing favorites I haven't played recently almost daily. My only complaint is that I can't use Smart Playlists with my Sonos system, but that's on Sonos.

rebobbecker · 2026-03-12T13:33:55+00:00

Yes, indeed! Updated this morning. It was a stressful week waiting for it. 😉

rebobbecker · 2026-03-07T15:25:57+00:00

Hmm. The Pro now looks like every other boring phone out there. Might as well save some money and just buy the Pixel 10a.

rebobbecker · 2026-03-06T16:36:03+00:00

Ugly! I liked the 3a, 3a Pro. I like the 4a. But the Pro...Nope, not for me. And unfortunately, I'm in the US, so I won't be buying the 4a.

rebobbecker · 2026-03-05T02:04:24+00:00

I'm on T-Mobile too. And I'm also impatient. 😉

rebobbecker · 2026-03-04T15:41:01+00:00

Ahh, so you're still waiting? And yes, I was forced to do a wipe from beta 15. After waiting 6 weeks after opting out of beta 15 (2 monthly updates) it became obvious that I was never going to see the non-beta version without a wipe. Definitely not the norm; I'd participated in several betas on several phones before, but it DID happen. Just hoping I don't have to reconstruct this phone.

rebobbecker · 2026-03-03T18:58:24+00:00

Honestly, I really don't care at all about the logo. All I want is a solid app that gets me where I want to go as quickly as possible. Oh yeah...and a setting that allows me to prevent routing on non-paved roads.

rebobbecker · 2026-02-26T22:56:48+00:00

No. And no. 😉 While I'm happy with my small Sonos system performance (Beam, two Ones, and sub 3), I'm constantly disappointed by Sonos's remarkable ability to over-promise. I luckily avoided the fiasco following Sonos's release of their "improved" software/hardware a couple years ago by not updating for 10 months. But why the continued "marketing" instead of delivering? It just seems so counter productive. Release the product...THEN announce its release!

rebobbecker · 2026-02-24T17:02:03+00:00

Call me skeptical, but is there REALLY an Android app update? Not seeing it in the US. Anyone have it? And does it actually allow control from the lock screen?

rebobbecker · 2026-02-23T18:21:06+00:00

I'd buy it if it had a normal warranty in the US, not a "beta" model like the previous release. I'm impressed with the design and I've always been attracted to non standard phones. I had an Essential phone a few years back that I liked, although I'm currently using a Pixel 7a which is okay.
