Fair enough. But that's why I mentioned "some" and not "all". I've never heard about a Toyota impacted by this issue.
Mitsubishi are definitely impacted. Some Mazda too according to some people posting. But I've read less posts about Mazda. They must be using some similar Bluetooth receivers in the infotainment system.
This is possibly the first post when this issue originated but then in January 2025 they improved it with a workaround that works till today, but before connection was always automatic without any workaround.
Anyway. Every single time you start the engine you need to go to Bluetooth settings on the phone toggle "media audio" (that failed to connect automatically) one or two times and then it connects and you can enjoy BT normally. A pain in the ass especially for 10 minute trips.
I still use that Bluetooth everyday in my Mitsubishi Outlander I don't need more than this.. I also installed some magnet mount for the phone case.
The only problem is that since December 2024 android release on Pixels it stopped connecting "media audio" automatically due to some timing issue or something. So I have to manually toggle that button on my phone since that day.... (Google Pixel) And now Samsung seems to have the same issue since they started updating to newer android versions.
Google is not focusing on fixing this and just focusing on Android auto instead.
But it only impacts some Japanese makes. I think some Mazda also have the issue.
I've seen this in all SAP projects that have outsourced resources in India. No matter their company. EY is just one in a big list of huge consulting firms.
Some just adapt to CET time (when the project is based in Europe). But others start working on India time (GMT+5) and finish working on EST time (GMT-5).
FF16 in quality mode runs at 1440p 30 FPS locked upscaled to 4K. And it decreases resolution sometimes in my experience while playing it.
And in performance mode runs at 1080p targeting 60 FPS. The lower resolution it's very noticeable.
Both modes can be improved by better hardware. That's my point.
Now things like "30 FPS locked, sucks" or performance mode targeting 1080p is not enough quality is just my personal opinion. Of course some people enjoy 30 FPS or 1080p on a 4K big TV.
I personally try to avoid 30 fps locks OR very low resolution performance modes.
Games like GT7 or Warzone that can handle lot of FPS at a high resolution (on the current PS5 hardware) are the ones I don't complain at all and truly enjoy.
And in those 2 games I wouldn't care about upgrading to better PS hardware.
FF16. I'm talking about running quality mode (which still doesn't guarantee native 4K it does upscaling lot of the time) at higher FPS than 30 with a better PS5 Pro hardware.
Yeah but some games like Final Fantasy run at 30 FPS capped and they suck.
They should start moving those games from fixed 30 FPS to a higher FPS. Doesn't even need to be fixed 60 FPS. If they enable VRR between 30 and 60/120 they will massively improve the experience.
I understand that some TVs can run VRR down to 20 or 30Hz.
Honestly I prefer this to Microsoft Edge stealing (importing) all my chrome passwords and bookmarks without my consent. Something they do from time to time.
The CCWGTV performance is a shit at 4K. The UI is far from smooth, some UHD shows randomly drop frames and sometimes I have to restart the device because Netflix and prime stop working.
Eventually I'll replace it, if the new device sucks I might try apple TV.
I mean it's a tiny device after all.
I also now have an HDR 4K 144Hz VRR OLED TV so it would be nice to get a device that supports this max resolution (like the PS5).
I have a Dell Laptop (Latitude 7390) where I changed in the bios some option to maximize battery longevity and 6 years later it still lasts quite a lot.
