I have one. It works about 90% of the time for me. Range sent me a replacement but the new one has the same problem. They replied with: " Often times from what we have seen it could be related to any onstar reports or vehicle checks that may be occurring while driving." I have turned off location sharing and don't actively have onstar but see it sometimes connect. I'm not sure about turning off the vehicle checks. Anyone else have the same problem?

Yes

I have the same cover on mine and it works really well. It's not completely leak-proof but it only lets in a few drops even in the worst storms. I'd feel safe storing luggage and driving through a thunderstorm with it.

Using scrcpy (open source) you can mirror your phone's screen on your PC giving you full use: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

Did you try using the USB-C port instead when you were having trouble with the regular USB? I primarily use USB-C for my android, it appears to have a very stable connection and faster charging.

Your best bet for the value is going to be the Viofo A119 V3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SRQH4R7 Anker also makes a low-cost dashcam that is very good: https://www.amazon.com/Dashcam-Dashboard-Resolution-Nighthawk-Wide-Angle/dp/B07DF8MQX1 If you're looking for dual front and back, Viofo A129: https://www.amazon.com/Viofo-Dashboard-Camera-Vision-G-Sensor/dp/B07CT6JPYW/ As mentioned above, you can't go wrong with a Blackvue but they are more expensive: https://www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/blackvue/products/blackvue-dr590w-2ch-dash-cam?variant=6844741287991

Why delete? Someone else may have the same question.
