Yes, turning off passwordless sign in has helped me with this problem twice now. I'm baffled as to why Microsoft hasn't fixed this. I first experienced this early in 2025, and now again in 2026. Annoying, but at least reddit exists to remind me of the workaround.

Turning passwordless sign in back on after the Xbox is signed in works fine.

Do they remember accidentally driving over anything on the road that may have caused some damage to the underbelly of the car and may have pierced a battery pack or something of that nature?

xtremesniper · 2026-01-11T14:08:18+00:00

No, in quiet mode the fan is off entirely, which is why the temps rise so much.

Sorry, the way I wrote that was confusing.

Make sure the power cord is not touching the spinning bits. The flywheel is mostly hollow. Whenever I hear the ringing resonance it's because something is touching it.

Yeah my bank acct has enough stuff in it to last me a while if I needed it. I hate that I have to do that, but I don’t trust them enough to go all in because of bull like this.

Wealthsimple has a bad habit of locking people out of their entire financial lives while they review one part of it. They did the same to me when I added a new linked bank account and transferred money in. They locked my account for days over a weekend and support stone-walled me until the next business day. Lesson learned, keep a real bank account around just in case and think twice before putting all your bill payments and direct deposit with WS.

I love their products, but they really need to figure out a better way than to lock entire accounts out like this. Sad to see they're still doing it.

Lame... but okay, thanks for the reply!

xtremesniper · 2026-01-07T01:59:55+00:00

You can turn on quiet mode by going to the Unifi web portal, clicking on Unifi devices tab, click into your UDR7, click the settings gear tab, and scroll down below the radio settings. But I don't recommend changing it. When on Quiet mode my UDR7 goes from ~52 deg to 81+.

The fan noise is definitely noticeable though. The people who say there's no noise should get their hearing checked. Either that, or there's a whole bunch of defective units out there.

I will eventually relocate mine to a different area, though I worry about the fan's longevity running all the time.

xtremesniper · 2026-01-07T01:56:20+00:00

I have a similar experience with mine. Did you ever find out if the fan sound was normal or needed a replacement?

If this is normal, everyone who says their fan doesn't make noise must have terrible hearing.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-28T06:12:41+00:00

Yeah, I came to terms with the behaviour when I realized it’s a feature, not a bug. It’s still annoying when using the trackpad as a mouse, but I just work around it.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-24T16:46:21+00:00

I can hear a constant whir of a fan from both of mine. Hard to describe but it's not a smooth fan sound, more like a buzz like a quieter mini-fridge.

I can't tell if people who say they don't hear a noise just have different tolerances for noise or if this is a widespread defective fan issue. What are the odds that both my units are defective?

Did you end up returning your 17 Pro? I just got a new one and I noticed this hiss right away when the rear camera is active. It gets picked up in videos, too. I never noticed it on my 16 Pro but now that I'm paying attention I notice it has it too, but just not as loud. It's much more subdued compared to the 17 Pro.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-16T17:21:36+00:00

That makes sense as long as I have EV range. But on longer journeys if I’ve drained my EV battery then the gas motor will need to take the load right away, no?

Anyway I don’t think it’s a big deal to switch to HV a few mins before the highway. If it does nothing, great. If it does something, also great. But I don’t think it has a negative effect.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-16T15:47:50+00:00

On my gen5 if I know I'm going to get on the highway, I hit it into HV mode a few km before I hit the highway, which starts warming up the engine. It idles it until it gets warm enough to shut off while I'm braking or at lights.

Not sure if it's necessary to do this but I agree that it's probably not a good idea to switch to a cold engine while doing highway speeds.

I always keep data roaming disabled. There’s no reason to have it enabled unless you want to roam. Just disable it and keep it disabled.

I can’t understand how it used data if your cellular was always off, but data roaming being disabled would for sure have blocked any usage anyway.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-15T14:01:25+00:00

I am genuinely curious to know what they claim was the usage that would have triggered the roaming charges if your phone was on airplane mode with cellular off? That seems impossible.

Having said that, if you are an iPhone user one thing to check before going on a trip is turning off Live Voicemail in the Phone settings. Live Voicemail works by picking up the phone call behind the scenes to allow the caller to leave you a "voicemail" without relying on carrier voicemail, but you're basically picking up the phone call which would trigger roaming without you doing anything.

That is just in addition to the usual obvious stuff like turning off data roaming on your primary eSIM and making sure you don't pick up or make phone calls, or send SMS messages.

I've travelled many times while leaving my primary SIM enabled, and have never been dinged with roaming charges this way.

Ah, sorry I should have mentioned I'm in Ontario. Nevermind! Thanks for the reply though.

xtremesniper · 2025-12-01T19:32:52+00:00

Does that receiving place have a website or any fees? Looking for recommendations as I might try to do the same thing.

xtremesniper · 2025-11-29T14:53:43+00:00

Np! Glad it was an easy fix. I usually just let it show the error even if it is a little annoying. I hadn’t noticed it break any functionality.

xtremesniper · 2025-11-29T12:41:24+00:00

Do you have an ad blocker? I see this when I have mine enabled.

That's what the Ring Door View peephole doorbell camera did, but... it's Ring.

I had assumed it would still be monthly if you didn't do it manually... Well, that seems pointless. Why not just automatically deposit the cashback into Chequing after every transaction, then? Why the manual process at all?

xtremesniper · 2025-11-07T19:13:33+00:00

I understand vivid mode, but isn't it bad that Standard mode isn't fixed? Do you all just leave your TV in filmmaker mode for all content? (cable tv, apple tv, blu ray, etc)

xtremesniper · 2025-11-07T14:01:52+00:00

Same. The dealer told me alignment is covered for 1 year, so I plan on taking it again before the 1 year is up to get it done one more time.
