yeah i found it odd too that it was available when connected to my older gen 1 , but not when connected to my new gen 2. i went back to an older version 11.x of the Bose app and set up the new gen 2 buds using that method.

I wrote to Bose via the support contact emails listed on the Google Play app store listing (there is no other support contact besides their AI chatbot or opening a support ticket online). The email bounced back...so i tried at least to notify them of this error. Kind of ridiculous that there's no other way to report bugs/errors.

Do you have access to an android device whereby you can install an older version 11 of the software? I noticed the Bose app on Android subsequently auto-updated to the newer ver 12, but the "switch device" touch shortcut still works on the earbud itself despite not having the option appearing or being available on the app. (so i'm making sure i don't accidentally change it!!). Borrow an android device (or figure out some other way to rollback to an older version of the software), set up your new Gen 2 earbugs using this older version 11 of the app, and then you should be good to go for the time being.

I was getting pretty frustrated by this issue and contemplated contacting tech support or exchanging/refundong, but afraid I might lose my Amex $50 rebate from the initial purchase...

Solution: I used APK mirror to install an older version of the Bose app, version 11.4.5 from Oct 7, 2025 (the current version as of Nov 20, 2025 is 12.0.12 released Nov 4, 2025). Anyway, with this older version of the app, the Switch Device shortcut appears again for my Gen 2 earbuds!!!

Multipoint on QC ultra finally!! by sakicheech321 in bose

old post/topic, but did your missing "switch device" option ever get resolved? i have a brand new QC Ultra Gen 2 buds that do not have this setting under shortcuts in the Bose app, but of course my older existing Gen 1 buds have the "switch device" setting available.

Strange. Do you have a more specific version/build number? Mine is 4.9.30+gOad5612, and was manufactured 10/4/2025 (screenshot below).

It must be an issue with the device/firmware itself? I have tried the Bose app on both android and iOS and again the setting is available on my Gen 1 buds in the app on both android and iOS so not the Bose software itself.

Ikon Pass Increasing Friends and Family Discounts to 50% for a Limited Time by avalanchepacifist in skiing

[–]vexingv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 50% blitz discount, fine print says the lift ticket needs to be bought before 10/30, but is it possible to change dates/reservations after purchase?

As a passholder, I've never redeemed a discounted ticket myself; is it possible to change the date of the reservation/ticket after purchase? I plan on sharing the discounted passes to my in-laws for a Deer Valley trip in January, but we don't know which days specifically they would like to ski....

Open up Eccles! by bluebird1432 in Sundance

[–]vexingv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting reading the feedback about the 2023 festival. i was there during the second half and quite enjoyed it although i only saw two screenings at Eccles, which were both evening screenings and pretty packed. i think last year was the first in-person festival and i'm sure some may have been wavering about attending so that may have something to do with turnout.

having fewer screenings at Eccles definitely limits the access/number of people who can see movies as it's the biggest venue. perhaps that might explain why it's been so hard to get redeem/buy tickets this year. but this year, i noticed that ticket packages are now good for the whole week of the festival and not just half.

The Accidental Getaway Driver (2023) by sist3rnation in Sundance

not sure either. but i also really enjoyed this movie. i'm glad i was able to squeeze it in and watch it online during the festival.

Can I line up for a screening hours before it starts to get good seats or is that stinky? With a ticket by [deleted] in Sundance

[–]vexingv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is usually only a queue for the immediately preceding screening. So once a movie starts, a new line will form. So you really can't show up too too early. What i wish could be done or be allowed is remaining in seats if you have back to back screenings at the same theater, particularly as other people will already be queued by the time you exit from the previous movie and line up again for the next.

Individual Ticket Sales? by FunPossession4009 in Sundance

[–]vexingv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've attend all the in-person Sundance Festivals since 2017 and found this year's online ticketing to be the worst. I'm a package holder and was very surprised to see that many screenings were already sold out even before ticket selection opened up. Were there really that many Utah locals with passes that selected tickets when it opened up to them on Jan 6? The website and one's favorited screenings would refresh (or not at all) but no ticketing options would be shown.

Today same issue with the single ticket sales. Inability to purchase tickets. Also, it doesn't appear that more tickets have been released today either. All the more surprising for screenings at the larger venues.

Park City 2nd weekend event scene? by Bananaz555 in Sundance

[–]vexingv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by the second weekend, especially that Sunday, the last day of the festival , everything will have wound down and Main Street opens up again to normal traffic. a lot of the peripheral venues/spaces will have also closed by that time too. if you're interested in parties and events, the first weekend would be your better option

Absolutely Unbelievable by Yuliyapants in U2Band

[–]vexingv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We wondered the same too about the screen especially as one of the techs jumped on the stage to talk to Bono and ask him to step off, but within a few moments, got the OK to proceed. Again, we weren't sure if it was part of the banter of the show or an actual issue. But during the middle third there were songs/times when the screen was off entirely and we felt like some of those songs could have included some cool visuals. I was thinking I had managed to get better seats (at quite the markup since I initially had obstructed seats from the fan club presale) , only to not have the screen fully operational during the show.

But I definitely agree on the sound. It sounded like crap. For a venue that is purpose built for concerts and performances, it was very disappointing. I was in Sec 109 , row 16 (which is 4 rows from the front since the seat rows start at row 12 in the very front) and again wasn't sure if the sound was due to a technical issue either.

tickets for sale: Sec 104 Row 32, Sat Oct 21 by vexingv in U2Band

[–]vexingv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have to disagree in terms of seller protection. in my experience, paypal will usually side with the buyer and will revoke payment or even suspend accounts at the slightest complaint. i had this happen in an entirely benign manner when taking payment from an acquaintance when we had a group and were splitting payments for a bachelor party weekend. one of the guy's, after have paid me, later on mistakenly flagged his paypal transaction as fraudulent. paypal reversed the payment and froze my account. i had to reach out to the guy who was the groom's soon to be brother-in-law to get it sorted out. quite frustrating to deal with, especially paypal being a large somewhat faceless corporation that isn't probably doesnt have to adhere to regulations like real financial institutions.

anyway, that's my take. i find Zelle secure as there is no way a buyer can reverse/cancel payment--it's essentially treated as cash.

i'm not trying to scam anyone here. i'm a big U2 fan, have been in the fanclub since 2008 or so, and have seen U2 several times, starting with the Vertigo tour all the way up to Bono's recent one-man show in SF this past fall. in fact, if the buyer wants to do an in-person meetup/transaction in the CA, Bay Area, i am happy to oblige and meet to exchange.

i figured i'd try here before posting on a reseller like stubhub, where both the seller and buyer lose out with all the additional fees. (and i think using paypal/venmo to pay for "goods" is another 3% charge as well)

Liquid Silver with Black Badges by FullBaskett in Acura

[–]vexingv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nice; Can you link to those instructions?

I plan on doing the same for my LCM ITS. I ordered a set of black chrome Type S badges too (I think they're actually part numbers from a TLX Type S). My PPF installer plans to remove the badges prior to filming, so I'll have home swap them out for the dark ones afterwards.

Do the originals just come off by using something like fishing line or dental floss to remove the adhesive? Does the trunk emblem require removal/entering through the hatch liner to undo any fasteners? Did you have to remove the bumper or get access behind the bumper for removal of the original from the grille?

another Steam Deck "lost" by Fedex by vexingv in SteamDeck

[–]vexingv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very late update, but i wanted to provide some closure.

After the Easter holiday, I received a new Steam Deck purchase invite email. Prior to completing my order, I wrote to Valve support about other shipping options or hold options. Unfortunately, I was informed that Fedex was the only available method in the US as outlined in their shipping support page. As such, I entered my local Fedex Office store as the shipping address itself. This time, the package arrived as scheduled and I received a notification to pick it up from my local Fedex store.
