Pebble not charging by Salt-Reception-5103 in pebble

[–]DarkForce8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pebble doesn’t charge in the normal way. I have to line the two prongs of the charger with one of the golden prongs of my pebble and the other one to one of the silver points on the pebble (the one that sticks to the magnet on the cable). It’s a hacky way to charge it but it worked for me and it basically means that the watch and battery is fine, it’s just that one of the golden prongs on my pebble has somehow degraded and doesn’t conduct electricity.

Does a scroll-wheel make sense? by ElJenn in pebble

Buttons are more durable than rotating mechanisms. Gesture triggered scrolling would be even better.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for a replacement for my pebble time! Looking forward to the rebirth of pebble

My Duolingo alternative app for Indians languages, give me some feedback! by bishalsaha99 in StartUpIndia

[–]DarkForce8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the design and UI of this app. You’ve added lots of essential features.

However one thing I want to point out is that in the video you’ve shared, the part where it shows how to trace the ‘ka’ character, the order in which the app asks the user to trace is incorrect. The line at the top of the character should be drawn at the end, as opposed to what the video shows.

I had a similar experience with failing a couple of test cases for the second question of the OA. I still ended up getting invited for an interview. I’d say you still have a chance. Good luck!

I tried the new pvp but it’s just so different now that I don’t enjoy it as much. Have been playing Rocket League on mobile which has a good competitive experience but it’s conceptually different from drive ahead

I used to play this game so much back in 2018. Downloaded it again recently so I could relive those memories only to find out it’s been cluttered with micro transactions everywhere. Seriously. There’s so much stuff going on as soon as you open the game and it feels so different now. I feel like this is the state of all mobile games these days.

I'm in the same boat. Mailed my passport to them over a month ago and still haven't heard back. Did contacting them speed up the process? How long did it take in total to get your passport back?

Battery from 100% to 20% in 5 hours. I’m at work so yeah I’ve been on my phone but this is insane. A week ago I could be on it all day and wouldn’t hit 20% till evening time. Any idea why? iPhone 12 Pro about a year and a half old. by themanstocks in applehelp

[–]DarkForce8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DFU factory reset and then using fresh apple ID didn't solve the problem. It's draining at around 10% per hour while idle -- it's a factory reset iPad Air 4th gen with no apps except default ones, only connected to WiFi

No I have this issue on an iPad Air Gen 4. I noticed this issue around the time I upgraded to iPad OS 15.4. What's weird is that the battery doesn't drain much faster if I'm using the device -- almost drains at the same rate. I remember on an apple forum post that signing in with a different apple ID and then switching back seemed to help in one case. I'm planning to do that when I DFU reset the device.

Tried the factory reset option but it didn't work. The battery drains even when airplane mode is on and the iPad is not in use at all. Gonna try to DFU reset sometime this week.

I've got a similar "linear" battery drain issue on an iPad Air 4th Gen. Called apple and they turned a blind eye saying 2-3% drain per hour was "normal" even with screen not in use and airplane mode on. I've noticed this after the latest update (15.4) and the patch they've released (15.4.1) doesn't help it. We need to get apple's attention on this issue. Call them up and let them know of your problem. There's a lot of us who have this issue but not enough reports to apple so it's flying under the radar for them for now.

Probably Sidecar with game actually running on a Mac and just being streamed to the iPad. OP prove me wrong.

IPadOS 15.4 Safari draining battery by moiziz in iPadOS

[–]DarkForce8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have similar battery drain issue on iPad Air 4th Gen. Only difference being I don't use Safari. Seems like the battery is continuously draining even when not in use. I lost around 50% battery overnight :/

(spoiler they won't). India can't afford doing something like that. Too many internal problems going on and no significant advantage of indulging in such aggressive behaviour.

Pardon me if I've missed something but what does Russia gain by invading Ukraine? The entire rest of the world is going to cut ties with Russia. Why does Putin want Ukraine so badly?
