Happy 4th all you fellers.

Any of you have a Samsung phone that has overheated while filming? I had mine filming out in the sun yesterday. I looked over after about an hour and it had a message that said it shut down all apps due to overheating. And.... the video I was filming it gone. I've tried using the file manager to see if it just stashed it in a different folder, but it doesn't appear so. Pretty irritated by that.

Did get the rack back in yesterday. I haven't started it yet though... still got some little things to do first.

Yes they do. I just had mine do the very thing two weeks ago. I was playing Pokerist and my phone got so damn hot. The pull from the game, and the video being set fairly bright, makes mine get really hot. My Iphone 8 did the same thing when all the uses are open to max or near it. I finally set my screen to the middle and it still gets warm but not nearly as hot as normal when my brightness is way up.

You know.... I think you just solved my problem, AK. And I feel awfully dumb now. Because it renders so much quicker, and I can see exactly what the camera is seeing at all times, I use my front facing camera all the time now. It was never an issue until it got hot outside.... but now I bet that the screen being on the whole time and the outside temps being higher is exactly why it's overheating. I didn't think of that until I just read your post, AK. Since it's never been a problem before, it really didn't hit me.

BTW, this thing does one hell of a job for using a front facing camera most of the time.

EDIT: I should really think a little harder when I've taken a Gabapentin. The screen would be on for either direction. I hate the side effects of Gabapentin, lol.

I'm not too sure how many nights in a row we need fireworks. I'm tired of the damn things.

Again last night, at the rodeo, the "pros" had several tip over that went off on the ground. I'm pretty much done with 'em. Three out of the last five years I've been in a bad spot with fireworks.

It's my project, an 88 GT, aka Frankie. It's been a fun car, but I am waiting on other people to get more work done on it. So it's been a little frustrating as of late.

Rough morning for this guy.... looked like he hit the center barrier, and ended up on the right side. No other vehicles involved.

Afternoon thinkers, long time no see for me. I’m back with some electrical questions. Does the GEM hold any PATS information? If I was to swap it out would I have to take it to a stealership to flash it? How many different GEMs did Ford put out for the 99-03? What were the differences so I know what to look for. Thanks guys.
