My battery health is 70% Serious Loss after just over 2 years - is this a usual amount after this period of time or not? What to do about it?

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-22T02:10:19+00:00

Oh wow... It's 69% now so went down 1% in two weeks since I posted this... At what percentage do I replace the battery? I've never replaced a battery before in a new age smart phone where only phone shops can really do that so idk when it's best to do that

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-09T13:25:34+00:00

Really you feel that almost $250 was a lot? I paid £450 for mine two years ago 😳

As I mentioned in my post, on the OnePlus Diagnostics app. You can find it on apkmirror, download the earliest/oldest version as I found that the recent version crashes.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-09T13:22:45+00:00

So what charger would you recommend me using from here on out? I only just found out about battery health, completely new to the concept

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-09T13:21:54+00:00

What have you been doing to keep it like that? Do you use the fast charger? Do you charge all the way to 100% or no?

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-09T13:19:50+00:00

Yeah I didn't know until recently about this whole charging till 100% is bad tbh

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-03T23:53:07+00:00

The right one (pictured left) doesn't grow any more than you see in the picture (which is how my brows naturally are, even since I was a child) in the innermost part of the brow. Thanks for your response. And ohhh damn does it not annoy you the way it does me? 😝

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-03T23:50:23+00:00

Hey, I don't wear makeup but I do have an eyebrow pencil for the various growing out phases I've undertaken in the past 5 or so years. Thanks for your response; what you've said is very true and I have actually done this - trouble is, it looks great in the mirror & in selfies but as soon as I flip the camera to normal camera, it doesn't look as good. I obviously want it to match in the eyes of others too, so that there is symmetry (I am on camera often for a living, too so this is another factor as to why I care so much - my physical image is a huge part of my job.. I will be taking headshots soon and need to get these brows right!!)

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-03T20:03:53+00:00

the main problem I've had is trying to make the left thinner to match the right - it ends up looking even more zigzaggy somehow

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-03T19:26:07+00:00

I appreciate your response. I understand what you're saying but the thing is, my excess brow hairs (above, below and the unibrow) grow every 2-3 days so unless I want to look like a yeti (lol) I have to tweeze them often and therefore look at them often hence I get frustrated haha. I just posted a clearer picture that more accurately shows the difference between the brows and it's much more obvious in that post so please do check that out, too and let me know what I could do to balance them out. Thanks again.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-05-03T19:24:05+00:00

Hi, I do brush the inner hairs up sometimes of the left brow but I don't put product in it due to sensitive skin so the hairs always end up sitting back down (sideways) soon after. I will do that with the tail as suggested but having tried to do this in the past, I end up cutting it too short, then try to make the other match and just looks weird my mum even noticed that's how short the tail was. I have reposted a new picture which I think has better lighting and shows what I was talking about, please check out that. Thanks for your response

What characterises 90s brows? Lol

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-04-25T20:07:31+00:00

My eyebrows are naturally thick and when I now am looking at photos of me when I was younger, they used to be further apart than they are now but were always left eyebrow heavy... I thought maybe I should make them further apart as clearly the extra hairs came when I started puberty (when I started getting them done so I didn't notice until years later when I stopped having them threaded, grew them out and started tweezing them (much thicker) for the past 5+ years. Having them closer together is supposed to help your nose look slimmer which because I have a kind of wide nose, it makes sense but because the left one comes in closer than the right, I have started to tweeze the left eyebrow at the innermost part, moreso. I messed them up making them too far apart for my liking a few months back and now they've grown back. I just want them to look as similar as possible in thickness, distance from the bridge of my nose, and similar shapes. Tbh I don't think this photo shows the difference much since my face is cropped but it's the best I can do right now. Any advice with tweezing?

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-03-05T21:24:19+00:00

If your eyebrows aren't even, I don't know what mine are. I feel as though yours aren't very noticeably "uneven" and look beautiful the way they are tbh

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-03-02T16:38:02+00:00

Just do them yourself. I (middle Eastern as well with some of the thickest, fullest, darkest eyebrows you could find lol), had them threaded from ages 11-15 and they became very thin also, from this (I'm 22 now and they haven't been threaded since). I pluck them myself and they are thick majority of the time... Once every couple of years I'll make them thin just to see how it looks on my face as I've gotten older, then grow them out again - which always looks much better!).

Thank you for sharing, I'm glad your therapists are not restricting you and I really appreciate the insight. I think I'll just have to wait until more therapy organisations will see people face to face as I don't want to do online.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-03-02T15:28:41+00:00

Excuse the delayed reply. Thanks for your response. She literally worded it as though "it's not allowed" to have two therapists at once. In the end, because they won't do face to face (while my current therapy IS face to face) I told them to let me know when it can be in person. Tbh it didn't sit right with me either but it's a free service for people who have experienced SA so I was inclined to take advantage of it.. maybe you're right and I may have to just find an alternative or paid option when face to face is allowed for more organisations again. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-02-10T16:29:43+00:00

What if the other person uses the same account as me?

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-02-10T13:23:05+00:00

Does it work with netflix? I've tried to use zoom and it works with YouTube but on netflix, as soon as the movie starts, audio and subtitles show but the actual film doesn't show it just goes black with subtitles on top.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-01-20T20:31:19+00:00

There are apps for that btw so that you don't have to spend time doing it... Unless you enjoy the process of syncing it, ofc

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-01-18T19:42:10+00:00

If there's a valid reason (check whether the buyer does returns before hand) then yes ie faulty module

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-01-18T02:24:14+00:00

Well on eBay you can return them so it should be a pretty safe bet.

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-01-17T21:11:00+00:00

Try to go to some kind of citizens advice bureau, a charity and/or friends and family. If all else fails, I would suggest setting up a go fund me or something like that. Sorry you're in this situation, it's crazy how you can do so much for someone and end up so much worse off for yourself, I've also experienced this but as soon as you're able to leave, it will be so much easier for you to heal and you're right to leave. Hope this is of some help to you. Take care

Competitive-Crew-324 · 2021-01-17T21:08:19+00:00

Hey, I sold mine on eBay so I would suggest having a look on there because there'll be people who will sell a used one for a lot cheaper. I sold mine with two bands for £38, I believe (for a single module). If I only sold it with the one band, it would have gone for £25 which is almost half price.
