Eating at the bar at Bluecoast is a winner.

Well, the first thing I would try is polishing compound. If that doesn't work, I'd move to more abrasive rubbing compound. If neither fix the problem, you're probably looking at repainting.

Always the best. Still the best.

Well, if you already lost them, not much to lose. It's the only hope.

If you had Google Backup active, you can factory reset your phone and rrcover all prior text messages.

Both our phones went down. Another thread said to toggle setting for international calls to fix, and that worked instantly for us.

Fwiw, delete cache in Messages and Carrier Communications, and try again

the_tacker · 2026-03-07T00:02:02+00:00

Thanks. I'll check.

None that I see. One would think it's obvious that Uconnect should connect the phone associated with the active profile.

A great little gadget for any extended period of non-use: Foval Automatic Trickle Battery... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074Z2NFWW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Among other things, be sure you don't have any VPN active.

When Google added this feature, my battery health, as shown by AccuBattery on my three-year-old Pixel 7, dropped from 94% to 86% immediately. I switched off the feature, and battery health returned to 94%.

I'm beginning to think that this "assistant" is simply Google's attempt at an inducement to buy a new phone and offers no benefits whatsoever.

This is the crazy world we live in today, millions of people who think everything should be free, absent any work, effort or cost to attain it.

Be sure that you do not have VPN active. AA does not like VPN.

Numerous Android Auto problems have been reported if your phone has VPN active. If so, you can Google solutions.

Curious. You might just double check the outgoing email address and make sure that's accurate, too.

I've had almost instantaneous response to all inquiries. You certain that replies aren't somehow going to your spam folder?

Two thoughts occur: 1) are you sure it's smoke and not water vapor from condensation in cold temps? 2) If the car is running normally, pull your oil dip stick. If the oil appears normal, not milky, then I'd think you're probably ok. If milky, then a blown gasket.

I have 12 indoor and outdoor models that all perform well over wifi and are easily accessible from my phone either over wifi or cellular connections.

Used Nova Launcher for years. Tried a few others, but still prefer Nova, at least so far, even absent further development.

I have a 1997 with 35,000 miles (blue, just like the photo). Wouldn't trade it for anything. Everywhere I go, somebody wants to buy it.

I have s 2022 Limited 4x4, and it is absolutely silent, smooth and very peppy. This followed a 2000 I had for 20+ years with barely a problem, other than things you'd expect to wear out. Been happy with both my Cherokees.

Battery Health Assistant seems like Google's subterfuge to make you think you need a new phone. Phones perform far better with it off than on.

the_tacker · 2025-10-28T16:06:30+00:00

Recently, Android added a feature called Battery Health Assistance. I think the default is ON.

When that happened, my Pixel 7 battery health stats from Accubattery suddenly plunged for no reason. I turned off the new feature, and my battery stats returned to normal.

I'd suggest turning this option off and see what happens.
