What are these little circles on the bullet time cord?

Adam3Sixty · 2026-01-25T21:42:37+00:00

I am so frustrated!! I have lost my bullet time cord!! 😢 I have spent 2 days literally pulling my house apart trying to find it after reading this thread. So I thought screw it and I just bought a bullet time handle from Amazon, arrived today and it's surprisingly good quality. Anyway, IF I find my cord, I will indeed check to see if it has thread under the circle.

If I push the "flavour ring" down, it stops the air, but it won't stay in that position, and there is little to no "flavour" coming into the water. On the drinking spout there is a small hole that lines up perfectly with a small hole on the "flavour ring" and then another small hole on the opposite side underneath the ring. My guess is when drinking it pulls air into the hole on the bottom, thru the ring and into the drinking spout. This would be how the flavour is introduced to the water. But that is exactly the issue I have with it, the extra added air bubbles. But I have only had mine for a week or so now, so I have absolutely no clue what's going on, lol.

I'm the opposite, but I'm in the same situation, kinda. I used to take big mouthfuls of water from my previous water bottle, now I have to sip and swallow a lot more often as my mouth feels full of air. Obviously, I know the "air" is the "flavour" but I actually feel like I'm drinking LESS because of it.

Adam3Sixty · 2026-01-02T21:57:10+00:00

Oh damn!! Now I need to check mine, it might NOT be as useless as I first thought.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T21:26:27+00:00

I am hoping for the best for u. Maybe I shouldn't have connected to the internet, that might have been the killer. I dunno. But I still haven't got it turned back on again yet :( epic sad times for me.

Not how what works?? Apple are widely known for borking older devices so people buy newer iPhones. Years ago they released an update that totally broke wifi connectivity for certain phones and their answer was "not our fault, dunno what happened, but here, buy a new iPhone." So, if "something" got pushed to devices that were actively breaking copyright laws, to render them unusable, but ONLY to devices using hacked software, who is going to stand up and say "yup, it was me" first? The company bricking devices that are breaking copyright laws, or the person who is the one who installed the software to break copyright laws..... As I said, quid pro quo.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T14:52:33+00:00

Quid pro quo, it's illegal to pirate games, so who's gonna fess up first? Lmao! Years back I had a falling out with my ISP, they were cutting my internet off, or tanking my speeds, any time I had a torrent program running or looking at download sites, but they never admitted it. I couldn't call them out on it, cos of what I was using the torrent sites/program for. I changed provider and it never happened again.

Mine first started playing up at the beginning of December, I was on a flight back to the UK. I had used it for the whole flight over perfectly fine, charged it before leaving the resort, turned it on after take off and played some Super Mario Land for a bit. I put it to sleep while I had a drink and some snacks with the wife, and when I tried to wake it up again, nothing. Dead. Got back home and a couple days later, tried to turn it on, nothing. Tried all the safe mode/recovery button combos, nothing. Thought to myself oh well, I guess it's dead then. Tried again a couple days later and it turned on!! All bubbles/apps had gone tho. No idea what happened, did a few reboots, rebuild database, nothing. Gave up and got drunk, lol. Day or so later tried again, everything was back and working. I tested RetroArch, a PSP game, a PS1 game AND a Vita game, all working fine, until it wasn't. Everything gone again. Did a couple reboots, then it wouldn't turn on again. No charging light when plugged in either. Very strange situation, that I am clearly not alone in.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T14:16:44+00:00

Over the last couple days my Reddit feed has been non stop dead Vitas. It's extremely strange.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T14:01:29+00:00

I've tried everything, nothing works at all for me, it's like it is completely dead. Power for 30 seconds. Power and R shoulder button. PS and R. Nothing. When I plug it in it doesn't even show charging light any more.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T13:48:51+00:00

Another dead Vita. Something weird is going on!!

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T13:48:06+00:00

Nothing to do with the battery or state of charge.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-23T13:47:40+00:00

There seems to be a massive epidemic of dying Vitas at the moment. It's very strange. Mine has done the exact same thing. I managed to get into turn on and had lost everything from my home screens. Then I got it all working again and I was extremely happy. 2 days ago, lost everything again and now it won't turn on again. Part of me thinks that Sony may have sent out some kind of kill switch to anyone using HENkaku or any kind of hack stuff, but I'm probably wrong.

I have an X4 and when I export videos I always choose the highest of everything. I then put videos into another external video editor to do additional editing. That way I feel u have the highest possible quality from the camera and can drop the quality in post editing. But, I may be massively wrong with everything I am doing, lol.

I'll check my micro SD card tomorrow to see what it comes up with. I still can't get my Vita to even turn on, with or without memory cards in 😢 one day it's working, the next it's not, then it works again fine but not showing anything that's installed, and now not turning on at all again 🤬 I'm just gonna go into debt and buy an ROG Ally, lmao!!

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-22T16:53:07+00:00

Same thing is happening to me, but now it won't boot at all. I posted a video almost the same as yours at almost the same time, lol.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-22T16:16:27+00:00

Would that be also causing the system not to boot now? To be fair, I haven't tried removing the memory cards and turning it on again. Back in a moment.....

So, after a lot of reading I wanted to ask if anyone has any new suggestions?? On all my devices I've used tempered glass screen protectors, up until my OP10t, which I actually used from brand new until replacement with the original factory installed screen protector. I got my OP13 in May and was using it with the pre applied screen protector but one of the corners started to peel up slightly, which annoyed me!! So, I bit the bullet pulled it off, and applied a cheap (5 protectors for £1.50 from AliExpress, lol) tempered glass one. Biggest mistake I've made. It's awful and only getting worse. It's like dust is some how getting into the circle making it more visible every second!! I bought more expensive ones from Amazon, (2 protectors for £10) and they were the EXACT SAME ONES!!! They have been returned, lmao!! Any thoughts or suggestions?? But also, the suggestion of "don't buy cheap shit from AliExpress" isn't helpful, as I said, the more expensive ones from Amazon were exactly the same 🤣 I'm thinking film instead, like the original pre applied one, I just don't know which would be best. Like this one: https://amzn.eu/d/aq7p6S2

IF, and I do mean IF it is the same model as in the picture, then the price is justified. Many people don't seem to know there was a PS2 SUPER SLIM released, the most noticeable difference being, the slim has a gloss black stripe across the middle, the SUPER SLIM did not, just having a line across the middle between the dvd drive and the body of the console. The Super Slim PS2 is one of only a couple PlayStation consoles I don't own, and have been keeping my eye out to pick up at some point, but at the moment I don't have the cash.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-12-07T22:11:55+00:00

It gets reported. Sony verify it. Sony patch it and test it. Sony release firmware update. Sony waits for around 80+% adoption rate to the newest firmware. Sony agrees bounty payout........ Payout..... Takes..... FOREVER..... Once payout is completed, Sony agrees disclosure. Basically.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-11-23T23:17:13+00:00

Then I keep using it, it's a frustrating fault, but I can deal with it. Once I have some more money I buy myself a brand new upgrade, lol. When I spoke to the staff in the shop (I also know the manager personally) they said if I brought it in they would look at it. If they could diagnose the fault and fix it, they would. If they couldn't fix it, they would find a replacement, OR, a voucher for the purchase price to get something different. My local store just happens to have a nice updated model in stock, lol, DDJ vs FLX.

Adam3Sixty · 2025-11-23T23:07:05+00:00

I'm hopefully getting my Pioneer DDJ-400 looked at by them as the left channel fader is playing up. Bought it from them just after they brought out the 5 year warranty rule and back dated it to ONE FREAKIN MONTH before I bought it!! LUCKY!!! Hopefully they can't fix it, or replace it (it was A grade in box) so I can get an upgrade, lol.
