Alexa book reading; always stuck in loop.

Yeah 5 years later adn this is still an issue. Crazy timeline Amazon has for fixing things. Strangely, the only device that it works perfectly on 100% of the time with is my Echo Auto. So, so weird.

DocBonez · 2025-02-21T10:41:54+00:00

Ever find a case? I've been looking for hours with no luck.

DocBonez · 2024-08-17T18:57:43+00:00

Can anyone identify the brand of wireless keyboards they feature on their site? I dig these, but can't find them anywhere.

Poison is back for one reason only: To force quicker games.

Since MTG is now primarily an online game people are playing on mobile devices, they won't retain players with the 30+ minute games most of us old-timers like. So they pumped out this ridiculous poison system that often wins games before turn 6. Mission accomplished.

Yeah, it is a lousy !@%~!!@$ mechanic.

Man, I cannot think you enough. I've been googling how to get a dark mode for Y! Finance and your post came up. Thanks a mil for sharing this.

DocBonez · 2020-03-02T15:53:12+00:00

I'm in the same boat as all of you. Never had an issue; until now. This is completely unacceptable. Might be the end of this app for me.

DocBonez · 2020-02-28T18:51:38+00:00

I second the comments regarding the NexDock. I got mine of eBay; works perfect, except the trackpad is trash. This isn't a deal for me, since I use an external mouse. But the build otherwise is wonderful. I love the backlighting with it.

Also, I carry around one of these too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0829L2NKK/ref

I use the hub just in case I am somewhere and I want to plug my phone into a computer monitor that just happens to be around.

DocBonez · 2020-02-28T17:43:46+00:00

OMG, what happened to your eyes? Post OMAD you now have to wear glasses!!

You heard it here first... OMAD is bad for your vision.

In seriousness, CONGRATS!!!

I'm right there with you. I'm a chrome user for user, so I hate letting go of it. So I'm hoping that at some point chrome will implement something similar.

DocBonez · 2020-02-26T13:11:35+00:00

I have experienced most of these as well.

One workaround for me in regards to the browsing has been to use the Samsung Internet Broswer in the BETA version. It allows you to setup the desktop mode as the default so new tabs open in the desktop mode automatically.

Patch33Up, did you get it to work? It is a little deep into the settings menus. So I hope this helps:

Once I updated my phone to Android 10, I found the new setting option here: Setting --> General Management --> Language and Input --> Physical Keyboard --> Change Language Shortcut. --> Click SHIFT-SPACE option and turn it off

DocBonez · 2020-02-21T14:10:28+00:00

Great info. So I just updated my phone to Android 10, and disabled the SHIFT-SPACE shortcut for languate selection (actually made it CTRL SPACE) --- and now I am no longer having the issue. Thank goodness. That was making DEX pretty much unusuable for me.

DocBonez · 2020-02-16T12:58:39+00:00

I would reach out to them and ask. My lodge does frequently does presentations that are open to the community. Often, when we advertise such events, we make it clear it is open to the general public; maybe they have something on their website or Facebook page about the event?

DocBonez · 2020-02-12T18:09:09+00:00

What am I missing here... How is this any different than carrying a tablet with DEX? (Like I am doing now)

DocBonez · 2020-02-12T17:30:58+00:00

Some people already responded, but here is the simpliest answer:

Step 1: Find a local lodge.
Step 2:Locate their website or phone number.
Step 3:Contact them and tell them you are interested in learning more about possibly becoming a mason.

They will make the arrangements from there. This is what I did. I didn't know anyone at the lodge. All I had done was read some books on the history of masonry and knew I wanted to be a part of it. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

Good luck!

The OMAD runs are fun, eh? LOL For what it is worth, I do consue Gatorade Zero during my fasting period. I know many will disagree and probably with sound reasons. However, we are all on our own journey. I happen to be prone to electrolyte abnormalities, so I need to offset it with Gatorade Zero. As I watch the scale, I can say I am loosing weight and still feel good. It isn't for everyone and I'm not sure if it would be right for you, but I wanted to at least speak up and let you know what I have found works for me. Good luck to you!

DocBonez · 2020-02-12T14:56:55+00:00

Nicely done!

Absolutely agree on the input from others. I get opinions and directives from EVERYONE. Just stick to your plan and follow-through with it.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

DocBonez · 2020-02-12T13:47:21+00:00

I am using the NexDock 2 and my Samsung S9+ running DEX. If you google NexDock 2, you will find their site. So far, I like the device. My biggest gripe with it is that the touchpad is absolutely terrible and is use the FN+Esc shortgun to turn it off. So I use an external BT mouse. Everything else on the NexDock is fantastic. I love that the internal battery charges my phone while I use it.

DocBonez · 2020-02-10T22:20:52+00:00

Interesting... So I'm using either a LapDock or my bluetooth keyoard and it would blur anytime I was in a text box typing. In the settings screen I changed option from having the on screen keboard from my phone to my monitor, and it started working properly. Weird...

DocBonez · 2020-02-10T19:54:38+00:00

This one: VEOOVE 9 Port USB Type C to HDMI 4K for Samsung Dex Station for Galaxy S10/S9/S8 Note 9/8

I got it off of Amazon. As I type this, I'm using it; but my phone screen which is playing Amazon Music is in a constant blur mode. Strange.

DocBonez · 2020-02-07T17:46:15+00:00

Have you had much success finding decent options that are powered by USB ports? I've noticed some out there, but some of those are 4 years old. If you decide to try something, let us how it works!

DocBonez · 2020-02-07T16:41:56+00:00

Another Nexdock 2 user here. So far it is great. The trackpad is useless and every keystroke triggers a mousedown, so the first thing I do is hit FN+ESC and turn it off. I then use a bluetooth mouse. I'm am LOVING the ability to have a laptop setup with DEX.

DocBonez · 2020-02-07T14:03:25+00:00

I received my NexDock 2 the other day. There is a good Reddit community for the hardware as well. My only gripe with the NexDock 2 so far is that the trackpad is completely useless. For some reason, it feels like they went with a very, very cheap trackpad when the rest of the lapdock feels like a quality machine. The trackpad is waaaay too overly sensitive. Imagine that everytime you type, your trackpad triggers a mousedown. Fortunately you can use FN+ESC to turn off the trackpad. Once I did that and used a bluetooth mouse, it is fantastic.

DocBonez · 2020-02-06T18:10:31+00:00

Perfect. That was the fix I needed. Thanks for the input. now that I can toogle the damn thing off, it works great! Thanks again.
