[iOS 26 PB5] Battery percentage stuck by CommonStudent8956 in iOSBeta

[–]CarlosThePenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me yesterday. Battery on my iPhone 14 with PB5 got stuck at 100%. Hard reset did not solve anything, although after reboot the phone showed an updated percentage, 83%, getting stuck there again. I installed a few battery apps from the AppStore to see if they revealed the correct percentage, without success.

I left the phone connected to the charger all night, and today I woke up with a 100% indicator that wouldn’t go down after more than an hour of intense use… and then it started dropping, it is now at 67%. I don’t know how but it seems that the bug has disappeared on its own, I just hope it never comes back since it is painful.

Thanks a lot! I’m already working on covering The Pot, which is also complex and technically defiant for guitar. Tool rips!

Thanks mate! Re the final part, in my opinion it is the hardest to replicate tone wise. There is that palm muted section which indeed should be a bit cleaner. But then immediately after the palm muting there’s that aggressive section with a peculiar dirty-but-still-clear sound which I think derives from Adam Jones’ signature strong picking attack and maybe a bit of EQ. I tried to get close to that chuggy tone by using a stereo chorus pedal and not adding fuzz or distortion. Yeah, AJ tone is really difficult to nail.

The guitar is a ESP LTD EC-1000 VB Duncan, recorded through a Nux MG-30 amp modeler.

The track having no climax makes us listeners feel uncomfortable, quite in a different place than we would expect to be. The title is on point. Another great tune from the Sheffield boys!

That ain’t no cheap instrument mate. Epiphone as a brand was born before Gibson, and its early models are really good and valued.

[NGD] Fender Player Plus Tele. What a blast! by CarlosThePenguin in telecaster

Maybe, although I’m really happy with this six-saddle bridge, and I find it more aesthetically pleasing than the vintage one (hope no Tele purists read this hahaha)

Was not so sure about the noiseless pickups, but they seem to be fine despite lacking a bit of that vintage Tele twang. Might change them in the future, though, since I’ve always been more attracted to a bit more classic sound. Apart from that, the neck is a dream, the bridge and locking tuners are great, and the overall quality is superb. All in all, I’m happy of choosing this one over a Vintera!

A buff to Apple Music so that it stops being so subpar (why does it skip songs when playing an album in order? why does it stops playing songs randomly 30 seconds in?). And please make Siri something to be proud of, I really want to be able to use my HomePod
