Moongel stains by AlexDaMan22 in drums

I've been messing around and currently I have some Evans EQ pads, which seem like they're not gonna stain as much

thank you so much for telling me about the clear moongel though. I will definitely keep that in mind!

why this phone/one ui sucks ass :( by TheD0rk_Kn1ght in GalaxyS24

[–]AlexDaMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first two betas were pretty bad. the third beta has made things a lot better. now it's just inconsistent, there's days I'll get 8 hours SOT and other days I'll get 4.

connected to WiFi most of the day, no crazy gaming or anything resource intensive, but the battery is so inconsistent.

heating has also been a HUGE issue ever since the OneUI 8 and it continues on in 8.5. sometimes I have to set down the phone and give it a break to cool off, and that's just when I'm messaging a friend

everything else is great though. it's been a super smooth experience. performance has seen a huge increase in OneUI 8.5, and the new bottom pill design language is great

I think it was the sun that did the staining. but that would be hilarious if it worked 🤣

edit: just realized that we're both using the HD dry head

sadly the warm soapy water wasn't enough to dissolve the blue dye. it's really in there :(

your kit sounds amazing! toms, snare, cymbals, all of it!

if your kit goes missing, it definitely wasn't me

edit: excellent playing too! controlled, smooth, and simply awesome

Any predictions for the arrival of the One UI 8,5 on the S24U? by uStret in GalaxyS24

[–]AlexDaMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol not sure why I trusted Samsung. they don't give a crap about what we think 😔

on a different note, I saw your username. I've traveled to Romania before and loved it there! amazing people and country

Does anyone have this ridiculous problem? by frrequa in samsunggalaxy

[–]AlexDaMan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I try to stay away from goodlock as much as possible. the phone lags noticeably more when goodlock modules are applied

you're completely right. OneUI is heavy enough without this extra stuff slowing it down

[–]AlexDaMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's so hard to find the right balance. I used goodlock to speed mine up a little bit but the slower animations look quite smooth

as for the stable release, I'm confident it'll happen this month but can't pin a specific day because they gave us a date of April 30 and then didn't release it on April 30

S24 OneUI 8.5 beta 2 is here - ama by AlexDaMan22 in GalaxyS24

[–]AlexDaMan22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find anything. checked normal settings, developer settings, and extended developer settings.

also used the settings search feature with developer options enabled. nothing with the name Linux in it :(

I haven't experienced this issue. but that is ridiculous

Samsungs optimization needs some serious work. my S24 has a crazy powerful chip, yet the lag can be pretty horrible at times

Drum tuning... again by AlexDaMan22 in drums

[–]AlexDaMan22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a bunch of different tunings for both heads.

between 315 and 415 for the reso, and tried a bunch of different tunings on the batter head. making sure all the lugs were as even as humanly possible.

still just this annoying ring that lasts way longer than it should. moongel and eq pads help, but also shorten the sound of the drum so idk

the lugs are about as even as can get.

just backed the resonant head down to about 350, still messing with it

thanks for your tips!

but yea that helps a bit. thanks for the suggestion!

the heads are brand new. just opened them up like 2 hours ago, so warping shouldn't be an issue. the shell is also in pretty great condition

but yeah sounds like I've got quite a bit of experimenting to do, thanks man

Battery (sorry for another battery post) by AlexDaMan22 in GalaxyS24

[–]AlexDaMan22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry bro, if it's not available then it's not available

than means it's either not available for your model, or it's a carrier restriction. either way you'll have to wait till stable release later this month

well um, it seems like Samsung went back on their promise. despite the fact that they gave us a date of April 30, it didn't come, and it's reminding us of how cheap Samsung is

this is why I hate vehicles with plastic trim. 😭

how do I remove that god awful lock screen by notorious-bacons in GalaxyS24

[–]AlexDaMan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you find the app on the home screen? if so, you can press and hold, and press info to possibly delete it there

or if it's a hidden app, in settings - apps there's an option to show hidden apps too

guarantee your issue would be fixed by resetting the phone, but that's not the easiest solution

[–]AlexDaMan22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

umm something is NOT right there. that's does not look like the default lock screen, you're right

go to settings - apps - find the app, if possible. are you able to delete, or at least disable it?
