  1. One of the first hits on the Google: http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-auto/733726-android-auto-quick-charge-compatible-y-cable.html
  2. That is an option, so we'll see how our return trip works. I'll use AA this time instead of Waze & see what happens.
  3. Already confirmed with an identical phone as mine & no turbo charge comes up. Also confirmed with another 'turbo charge' capable phone, same result.
  4. I never said 1 port charges & the other doesn't. They both charge, just not the 'turbo charge'. I've seen several phones/chargers throughout the years not be able to keep up with maps using the GPS,(S4, S5, Droid Turbo just to name a few). Only phones/chargers that can keep up are 'turbo charge' capable. Highly doubt it's my phone as it's fine when using a charger with 'turbo charge' The hub is OEM & hasn't been touched as i have android phones & no need to update/swap. My original question was if i upgraded the hub, if it was 'turbo charge' capable. Maybe I'm confusing the install with using AA. Somewhere i read that you could only use the lower port, maybe that was just for installing. I haven't confirmed if the upper port works with AA or not. I will pay more attention to the charging aspect over the next few days as we're on a trip & have noticed these things while on short trips. Prior to AA, using my GPS, with say the Waze app, i would gradually loose a charge if i continued to use it while plugged into the OEM hub. Now, if i use a 3rd party 'turbo charge' charger, i have no issues & will charge the phone to full while using Waze & my GPS,if my phone isn't already at 100%.
  5. I think you're mis-understanding what i said. The phone recognizes that it's charging on the port, but not the 'turbo charging'. When using the GPS, the phone uses more power than what is being given to it, hence not 'turbo charging'. It will charge the phone, but at a very slow rate & if i start using the phone, it can't keep up & slowly looses a charge. Granted, it's a slower discharge than not plugging it in, but still won't fully power the phone. The only function that I've seen able to withstand the load is a 'turbo charge' which this hub doesn't do. I understand that there really isn't a standard, but the only solution I've found was to buy a 3rd party car charger,but if i use that, i lose Android Auto, which kinda defeats the purpose. It's a minor concern, as we don't travel much, but might be more a concern for other people who would use this all the time
  6. Welp, smart charging is busted, i get no turbo charge notification & my phone gradually looses a charge when plugged in. AA only works on the lower port & i get no difference in charging between the two
  7. My phone, as well as most newer phones, have 'turbo charging' capabilities. Does the upgraded usb allow that? Using gps for Android Auto really sucks up my battery
  8. Has anyone else found that responding to text messages are way easier with Android Auto than with Sync? Sync seems way clunkier & has limited responses.
  9. Mileage is pretty decent, the hills of West Virginia & Virginia & North Carolina took their toll overall though.
  10. My guess is that the servers are overloaded with the word getting out that 2.2 is available. Try at different times throughout the day & you should eventually grab it
  11. Yup, pretty much every day. I work for a small ISP for over 15 years that also provides TV services. We could probably go all day back & forth.
  12. Had a nice long reply written up & when i posted it, nothing happened, oh well. They started working this morning on their own while on my way to Discount Tire. I had roughly 110 miles on the car since the swap. I can home & did the flasher re-learn trick & that worked. I did look at the above post by enigma & i did purchase a trigger tool, (my work truck had one, but I think it's busted because the light doesn't come on when the button is pressed). I also found out that there are 2 re-learn procedures. The hazard one is only for known tpms, like a tire rotation. The 2nd is more for case with switching out winter & summer tires. The procedure is: There are TWO different modes of training TPMS sensors: 1. TRAINING TPMS sensors on my truck you push the hazard flasher three times and the truck will enter TRAIN mode. This works ONLY if the sensors are "known" to the TPMS module in the truck! 2. RELEARNING TPMS sensors. This procedure is required after you installed new sensors NOT KNOWN to the truck and must be "learned" first; FORD TPMS Relearn for Keyed-ignition models: 1) Make sure ALL TIRES ARE INFLATED TO SPEC 2) IGNITION SWITCH in OFF position 3) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL 4) Turn IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec) 5) PRESS AND RELEASE BRAKE PEDAL 6) Turn the ignition switch back to OFF. 7) IGNITION SWITCH TO RUN 3 times ending in RUN (within 10 sec) 8) The HORN SOUND sound indicates vehicle has entered into TPMS RELEARN mode. 10) Place the top of the TPMS triggering tool against the sidewall of the DRIVERS SIDE FRONT tire in the location of the valve stem. TRIGGER SENSOR, wait until the horn sounds 11) Once the horn sounds, move on to the PASSENGER SIDE FRONT tire and repeat the process. Each tire should only take 30 seconds or less. 12) Once horn sounds continue on to the PASEENGER SIDE REAR tire and 13) Once horn sounds continue on to the DRIVERS SIDE REAR tire. 14) You may now turn the ignition to OFF. · If the horn does not sound, the sensors were learned successfully. · If the horn sounds twice, then the process must be repeated because there was a malfunction. I do have keyless ignition, so maybe the process might be a little different, like this one from theTPMSforum: *WITH INTEGRATED KEY FOB (ACTUAL KEY CONTAINED IN KEY FOB) PUSH BUTTON START: 1. With vehicle off, press and release the brake pedal. 2. Using the push button, press and hold the button until the vehicle is in acessory mode (ACC mode). WARNINGl DO NOT PUSH RELEASE TOO QUICKLY. PUSH - WAIT FOR SOUND - RELEASE. 3. Power off by pushing the button 1 time. 4. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 5. Press and release the brake pedal, then turn vehicle off. 6. Using the push button, press and hold the button until the vehicle is in acessory mode. 7. Power off by pushing the button 1 time. 8. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 9. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. 10. Starting at LF tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: RF, RR, and LR. If equipped with banded sensors, place antennae of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized. Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires. 11. After successfully programming the LR tire, the message center should display TRAINING COMPLETE 12. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on placard. ***WITH INTELLIGENT ASSIST IGNITION SYSTEM (NO ACTUAL KEY CONTAINED IN KEY FOB): 1. With vehicle off, press and release the brake pedal. 2. Using the push button, press once to turn on, then press again to put vehicle into ACC mode, then press again to turn vehicle off. 3. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 4. Press and release the brake pedal, then turn vehicle off. 5. Using the push button, press once to turn on, then press again to put vehicle into ACC mode, then press again to turn vehicle off. 6. Repeat 2 more times, ending in ACC mode. 7. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. If equipped with message center, it will display TRAIN LF TIRE. 8. Starting at LF tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: RF, RR, and LR. If equipped with banded sensors, place antenne of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized. Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires. 9. After successfully programming the LR tire, the msessage center should display TRAINING COMPLETE 10. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.
  13. Possibly, i also deal with users like this on a daily basis. It could go either way to be honest,lol. Not a bad idea to cover both basis though!
  14. The 'coking' of the intake valves can be lessoned greatly by installing a catch can. For around $500 including the install, you can save yourself a lot of problems down the road. In nearly 2,000 miles of driving, my teamrxp.com catch can has stopped about 4-5 ounces of oil/gas/sludge from re-entering the intake manifold. The sooner you get a catch can installed, the sooner you prevent coking. The teamrxp.com design catches the 'gunk' in boost as well as when you're not in boost. Most catch cans only function when the car isn't making power, like idle, this design catches both & i'm very pleased with my can. Keep in mind that it's not just ecoboost's having this issue. It's a design flaw with any direct injection & by the time it becomes an issue, the car is usually out of the original warranty period. Ecoboost's are more apparent because of the turbo which produces more blow by (the low friction piston rings don't help with this either). Here's a link to my install post: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/22063-oil-catch-can-on-the-20l-ecoboost/?p=166118
  15. I have over 100 miles & the only sensors it picks up are the ones that were on the car or my cx7 tires
  16. Haven't had the need to change them yet, but I'd go after market before going OEM, unless Ford is practically giving them away. Most parts/automotive stores will install them for free
  17. Firestone/Tire Kingdom can't get them to re-learn, guess I'm going to have to go to Discount Tire...... Boo......
  18. The Edge doesn't have wireless service, so i don't know how your phone can't connect to the wireless from the edge. The Edge can RECEIVE a wireless signal from your modem/router, but can't provide one. Unless you pay extra for a 3rd party service. Everything you're describing, sounds more like phone issues than Sync issues
  19. Sitting overnight for 2 nights didn't help. The Edge does pick up on the tpms from my cx7 which is next to the edge & only 1 or 2 sensors at that. Just weird that the edge can't automatically pick up its own OEM tpms. Appointment set up for this evening
  20. Welp, put the OEM wheels that came on the car on & i get a TPMS fault after a few miles of driving. I'm gonna try to roll for a bit & see what happens. If not, back to the tire place. I did try the hazard trick & drained my tire down to 15 psi & it still didn't learn them. Maybe sitting over night might help
  21. It wants me to confirm via an .XML file, but every time i submit it, I get an error. Maybe I'll try tomorrow & see if it confirms it or if the car will automatically confirms it.
