![]() I have driven a Ford since 1997 (when I had a Geo Tracker. is valued at around $6000 as a trade-in at the same time with the same mileage by KBB). This is a $6000 repair on a car that had a trade in value of $2000 - $2500 at that point (to put it in another perspective, the equivalent 2013 Toyota. Y'know, the kind of thing that everyone who does car repairs tells you, in the most maddening way, "shouldn't happen with that little wear on it". ![]() then at only 115,000 miles the transmission blew out while driving on cruise control on a straight highway at 70mph (meaning it wasn't shifting or doing anything at that point). and the time when the check engine light came on and I took it into the dealer about 2000 miles after parts of the warranty expired just for them to say my catalytic converter was having a problem, the warranty covering it had just expired and it would eventually be a $1500 repair if/when it finally went (I decided to drive with the light on). But of course, there was also the plastic cover under the car that either never seemed to stay up or the dealer just kept forgetting to put it back on properly. etc.Īll of that was frustrating but like most things, you just accept it and move on because the car itself was good and fun to drive. but, sometimes it only worked if the phone wasn't playing music already. and it would only pick up music from the USB connection on a random basis that sometimes involved shutting off the car, then opening and closing the doors, then restarting the car with the phone/mp3 player plugged into the jack already playing the music. if you ignore that the Sync system never really worked and really wouldn't play audio from my iPhone or Android over Bluetooth, other than actual phone calls (which would still randomly go into "privacy" mode after you answered the call, which translate to the handset while you were driving after you used the car to answer it). Ford denied it was a problem for about 2 years, then did a "recall" for the problem (which essentially was just a new program for the transmission) and VIOLA!!! it was fixed and the car was great. Only problem at the beginning was that the transmission seemed off and it hesitated a lot when trying to get started from a red light. Liked it so much that I convinced my wife to buy a Ford Escape a year later (also a mistake). Great ride, handling (at least until the factory tires hit snow for the first time), large enough trunk to put almost everything I have ever needed it to do. Buyer beware, this is the lemon that I'd always been afraid of. I've submitted a claim for the Ford Transmission Class Action Lawsuit. There have also been 10+ recalls on it OUTSIDE of the transmission/clutch issues. I've spent probably $3,000 in repairs already. After towing it to a nearby repair shop, I find out that the whole transmission needs replacing and it will cost around $4,000. This past weekend, my car stopped accelerating in the middle of the street. Prior to that, it had broken down on the interstate multiple times for various other failures. After doing that, I still have issues with the same thing (though not quite as often as before). This kept going on for about a year before someone finally told me that the clutch needed replacing. Within 2 weeks of buying the car, it was stuttering every time I would accelerate from a stop. When it was time for an upgrade and the dealership said they had the same car but a newer version, I was elated! However, they took me for a ride on the price (it was my first time buying a car on my own- I didn't know any better) and it's been nothing but issues since. I previously owned a 2005 Ford Focus and loved it.

![]() I can't wait to give it a try! I have a "big head" still it's on the smallest side for the XL model, however choose it anyway because the XM maybe would be too small and I learned that when in doubt is better go a bit larger and adjust than getting too tight and discomforts.I already use Prizm lenses on other glasses (cycling and running for sunny day and low light) and I love them! They work great! The Prizm snow looks won't be an exception since when wearing it and looking to shades of light grey and white you can see them clearly and gives a good amount of contrast and light transmission. Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020 Good view field and lens contrast for an amazing price! The Fall Line XL Googles are complete with soft-to-the-touch double layer face foam with exceptional wicking and breathable properties to make sure you spend as much time on the slopes as possible. Prizm Lens Technology options allow you to take control and enhance contrast and visibility in any conditions. Discreet frame notches at the temple offer total compatibility with most prescription eyewear without any compromise to goggle performance.

Application.OnTime When:=TimeValue("1:30 pm"), _ The macro name includes the project and module name. This example runs the macro named "Start" at 1:30 P.M. This example runs the macro named "Macro1" 15 seconds from the time the example is run. This example runs the macro named "Macro1" in the current module at 3:55 P.M. If you start another timer before an existing timer runs, the existing timer is canceled. Word can maintain only one background timer set by OnTime. For example, use Now+TimeValue("00:05:30") to run a macro 5 minutes and 30 seconds after the statement is run. Use the sum of the return values of the Now function and either the TimeValue or TimeSerial function to set a timer to run a macro a specified amount of time after the statement is run. For this reason, it is best to store the macro in Normal.dot or another global template that's loaded automatically. For the macro to run, the document or template must be available both when the OnTime instruction is run and when the time specified by When arrives. You can also include the date (for example, "6/30 4:15 pm" or TimeValue("6/30 4:15 pm")).įor the Name parameter, use the complete macro path to ensure that the correct macro is run (for example, "1"). ![]() The When parameter can be a string that specifies a time (for example, "4:30 pm" or "16:30"), or it can be a serial number returned by a function such as TimeValue or TimeSerial (for example, TimeValue("2:30 pm") or TimeSerial(14, 30, 00)). If this argument is 0 (zero) or omitted, the macro is run regardless of how much time has elapsed since the time specified by When. For example, if a sort operation is under way or a dialog box is being displayed, the macro will be delayed until Word has completed the task. Macros may not always run at the specified time. The maximum time (in seconds) that can elapse before a macro that was not run at the time specified by When is canceled. The time at which the macro is to be run.

This phone was initially released running on KitKat and is currently getting the Lollipop update. Released in March of 2014, this is one of the company’s top Android models that combines excellent hardware and software features. ![]() Hope this helps.Welcome to the 33 rd part in our series of troubleshooting articles dedicated to the HTC One M8. If you're in Malaysia and would like me to share the guy's contact number with you, drop me a line. So confirmed it's not a firmware problem, and my best guess is that the stock battery had increased resistance (hence slower charging) and maybe it was bulging a bit (old bad cells). The new battery also seems to last way longer than the stock one, and it charges up faster too. I've run down my M8 to less than 15% battery a couple of times and it didn't shut off. I'm using my M8 with the new battery for maybe a week plus now and the random shutting off problem has gone away. ![]() He used an original HTC replacement battery, and from what I can see it looked identical to the one he took out from my M8. Has this happened to anyone? What could be wrong? Would appreciate any & all feedback :) Thanks in advance.Īn update: well, after being fed up with the way my M8 turned itself off when in a low battery start for maybe 3 times in the space of a week, I had my M8's battery replaced at a local phone repairman (not at a HTC certified service center). However, settings, app preferences & permissions were not reset at all then. When my M8 was running Lollipop, there were times when it would turn itself off as well but it was triggered by using the camera flash at low battery levels. I've done the battery calibration steps once but that was before the Marshmallow update. But some of the settings, default app preferences & also app permissions were reset. No other loss of data, as far as I can tell. I wasn't locked out of my phone but all my text messages (SMS) were lost. The 2nd time this happened was yesterday. My wallpaper was reset, although my app icons on the desktop was the same as before. In the end, I had to reset the PIN number using Android Device Manager on Chrome running on my desktop PC. I'd touch the screen, the lock screen will be displayed, I'd try inputting PIN but I guess it's wrong because the screen just goes off. Restart by pressing vol button with power button didn't work at all. The lock screen would go off after I try inputting the PIN. The lock screen is displayed but all the PIN combinations I've tried seems to be wrong. Other basic settings as well, such as auto updating apps in Google Play Store.Īlso, first time it happened, I was locked out of my phone. Some developer options were reset too, e.g animation scale etc. Some default apps were cleared as well, so the phone would ask which app I'd like to use for my Home screen (either Sense Home or Nova Launcher, which I use exclusively). I had to re-do the settings in both the settings app & also Google settings according to my preferences. What's frustrating is that after these sudden shutdowns, some of my settings were reset & the phone will be wonky. I let the phone charge for about 10 minutes or so before tinkering with it. The charging battery icon would be displayed and the charging level tallies with the last charge level that I see before the phone turns off. What I do after this happens is I would go home & charge the phone using the original M8 charger. Phone wasn't charging and the camera/flash was also off. The low battery warning usually given at 15% power wasn't displayed.ī) In both cases, I've just only turned the display on & started using the M8 for less than 15 seconds before it turns off.Ĭ) In both instances, the mobile data & GPS was on. IIRC, the first time it happened the battery was at 25% and the latest incidence the battery was at 18%. In both instances, they have these in common:Ī) Battery was low but not critically so. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. ![]() I would be looking at it and using it as per normal when it would just power down and turn off all by itself. This happens without a low battery warning and no other error messages or warning displayed on screen. The unit would turn itself off all of a sudden.

Förster resonance energy transfer-based ABA sensors have been developed to study the spatial dynamics of ABA accumulation in root cells ( Jones et al., 2014 Waadt et al., 2014). Reporters that detect the presence and activity of ABA at each step of regulation are needed to study how ABA signaling controls complex physiological responses across the various tissues and organ systems of the plant during stress. These stresses cause a reduction in the availability of water to the plant, leading to the induction of ABA biosynthesis and subsequent perception by the ABA signaling pathway ( Seo and Koshiba, 2002). ![]() This work establishes a tool to study the spatial pattern of ABA-mediated transcriptional regulation and a repertoire of TF-ABRE interactions that contribute to the developmental and environmental control of gene expression in roots.Ībscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone, widely involved in different biological processes, including plant growth ( Humplík et al., 2017), stomatal conductance ( Negin and Moshelion, 2016), lateral root development ( Duan et al., 2013), and seed dormancy ( Leprince et al., 2017), as well as response to water-associated environmental stresses, such as water deficit and osmotic and salt stress ( Seo and Koshiba, 2002 Munemasa et al., 2015 Sah et al., 2016). We show that the WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX5 and NAC DOMAIN PROTEIN13 TFs regulate QC/SCN expression of the ABRE reporter, which highlights the convergence of developmental and DNA-damage signaling pathways onto this cis-element in the absence of water stress. Our analysis also revealed ABA-independent activity of the ABRE-reporter under nonstress conditions, with expression being enriched at the quiescent center and stem cell niche. Genome-scale yeast one-hybrid screens complemented these approaches and revealed how promoter sequence and architecture affect the recruitment of diverse transcription factors (TFs) to the ABRE. Here, we describe the construction and evaluation of an ABSCISIC ACID RESPONSIVE ELEMENT (ABRE)-based synthetic promoter reporter that reveals the transcriptional response of tissues to different levels of exogenous ABA and stresses. Although ABA signaling is known to function in specific tissues to regulate root growth, little is understood regarding the spatial pattern of ABA-mediated transcriptional regulation. The water stress-associated hormone abscisic acid (ABA) acts through a well-defined signal transduction cascade to mediate downstream transcriptional events important for acclimation to stress. |
