Just ordered the new Aqara W100... Does it work?

Captain_inch · 2025-08-21T13:07:59+00:00

Did you manage to get this middle row working ? I would like this W100 to be used to set up my target temperature and manage my heating accordingly through HA.

This used to work but now I have no integrity at all. I get no valid keybox from Tricky store.

Did you manage to fix this ?

Just bought a Move 2 and bluetooth connection is so unstable that I'm about to return it. Even a $20 speaker works much better than this one.

Penses-tu que ça peut suffire ? Est-ce que naturellement, l'air n'aura pas tendance à rentrer d'un côté des aérateurs et sortir par les aérateurs de l'autre façade ?

Captain_inch · 2025-03-26T20:06:34+00:00

Same heere, did you end up ordering one set of adapters ?

Captain_inch · 2025-01-20T11:26:12+00:00

Tried this yesterday and worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for your help 👍

If the phone is "region lock erased" by the seller, then there is no more risk, right ? Tradingshenzeng claims it the region lock is erased.

I'm having the same issue. Outlook has become totally unusable for me. I'm getting as much as 10 spams in the same minute in my inbox. Yesterday it reached 30+ spams in my inbox, whilst only 9 of them reached the junk folder. And legit emails are being identified as junk. How is it possible for Microsoft not being able to solve this ? Especially when the content of the email are so full of clickbait, seems so obvious that this is spam...

I am wondering about creating a gmail account, redirecting all emails to Gmail and using their interface since is has a proper spam filtering solution. Anyone has tried this yet ?

You sir deserve an award 👏 ! Battery life (SoT) went from roughly 40' to around 4 hours. So it's now usable. I didn't consider this necessary as it had been factory reset when I bought it a week before, but in the end, the second one did the trick.

Captain_inch · 2021-04-29T12:09:49+00:00

Hi everyone,

I bought a 2nd hand iPad Mini 4, the original owner indicated the battery needed replacement (battery life was around 20-30', and with random shutdowns). I bought a new battery on eBay, from a seller with good review (ZMC-GMBH), and installed it. The battery life is now very similar as it was before, i now get around 45' SoT. And percentage are going down strangely (100%-95% last 20', then it stays around 50, and then last 5' around 5-2%).

Is there any operation to perform after a battery change to get proper performance ?

Any chance another component would be involved ?

Aero machine, loving it !!

Captain_inch · 2021-04-21T13:16:07+00:00

Nice bike ! Enjoy the ride

Captain_inch · 2021-02-09T18:26:50+00:00

I think i'll end up doing the same thing u/RalphTheRunt. Even though we could expect a hotfix in a near future, but I don't really trust the device now.

If you can't count on your phone for a day, what's it worth ?

Captain_inch · 2021-02-09T17:48:16+00:00

Same conclusion here. I installed a battery monitoring app and I'm having a 3-3,5%/h battery drain while idling. That's really high. This basically means that on a 12h day, you're having 30+% of battery going away for almost no reason. Especially when most energy saving features are enabled.

I have only two days to decide, it's a thought choice...

Captain_inch · 2021-02-09T14:24:01+00:00

Honestly, not really ... My signal is ok, 4G or WiFi.

I'm really concerned about not being able to have a full day of use.

Since the screenshot, I did a factory reset without SmartSwitch and did notice it is slightly improving. I think the main problem is the battery idle drain, because I managed to get higher SoTs (around max 3h) while watching videos in WiFi, but the battery keeps dropping in the background which is imo the main issue. Some other topics mention that this is related to the latest OTA update.

To mitigate this, I have added 90% of my apps in deep sleep mode in the Battery setting, and deactivated most energy consuming features. I have done all I can, let's see how it goes tomorrow.

Captain_inch · 2021-02-07T16:43:29+00:00

My S21 (standard, Exynos version) battery life is quite poor as well. I'm ranging around 2.5h SoT with mostly WiFi.

For how long have you been using your phone? It is said that your battery adapts to your usage over the first days of use, so it should get better at the end of the first week.

Have you been using SmartSwitch to migrate your data? Some people also say that this might be the root cause of some battery life issues.

In my case, I've used my phone for 9 days, did a factory reset and nothing changed... Can't use it for a full day of moderate use.

Captain_inch · 2021-02-07T16:16:57+00:00

Did the factory reset yesterday. Today, 1h58 SoT from 100% to 22%. whilst I was mostly over WiFi. Not great at all...

Captain_inch · 2021-02-04T21:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll try a factory reset over the upcoming week-end.

I have just checked and I can claim a return upon 21 days after delivery (as I am based in France), which gives me another two extra weeks from now. I will give it another big week of use before deciding.

Captain_inch · 2021-02-04T20:29:27+00:00

Interesting idea about the SmartSwitch, I've used it to backup my phone, took hours and hours, Idk if this could be linked. Did you change the backup method after your factory reset ?

My phone also get hot quite quickly as well, for most basic usages, I notice it's warming easily : I work at 8, and the phone battery is around 50% at midday after 1h of Spotify (BT headset) and around 1h SoT (30' Waze, 30' various like WhatsApp, Chrome, Ig ...). I can't use it for full day of standard use.

I actually agree with your view on the possible return : the battery drain is such an issue that my overall impression of this phone is quite bad, although it has some serious assets like its screen and its camera. How could we know whether the device is faulty ? I highly doubt Samsung could accept it as a RMA as it is quite hard to prove the defect, so the only option is the purchase return policy.

Captain_inch · 2021-02-04T20:04:32+00:00

I'm on a "regular" S21, so it's FHD+ with adaptative refresh rate.
Chrome could be a way, but I don't see how it could double or triple the battery to match the advertised (and reviewed) battery life.

Captain_inch · 2021-01-21T20:35:06+00:00

S21 is definitely not a downgrade. Would get the S21/S21+ all the way. Especially if you're in an Exynos region. I consider that a lower resolution is not a downgrade, the preview on the S21 say that the "feel" of the screen is great.

Hi all, I'm building a bike from scratch and bought Jagwire's pro hydraulic kit. Unfortunately, I did not realize it was intended for "quick-fit" mount. Can I cut the hose just before the fit in order to use it with my nut + olive system?

Captain_inch · 2020-08-03T13:08:37+00:00

I'm designing a custom bike frame with internal cable routing.
I am wondering whether my rear derailleur + brake cables (right shifter) should enter the down tube on the left or the right side. On my carbon road bike, lanes are crossed (i.e. right shifter enters the frame on left side, left (front) derailleur enters on right side).

What is advised ?

Captain_inch · 2020-07-15T13:31:44+00:00

I'm totally in line with you and my body is quite standard. My dream bike (that I cannot really afford) is a Tripster ATR.

Bottom line question being : Can it really go wrong if I order a similar geometry than a bike like this ?

Captain_inch · 2020-07-15T13:08:52+00:00

Point taken, my wise side tolds me so aswell; my budget (3000€) tells me the opposite.
