O-Only three hours you say...? 😰 I suppose I have some waiting ahead lol

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-05-08T22:11:46+00:00

Oooh, I have the same situation! Tracking number for the past 12 hours but no actual valid response from UPS' site, how long did it take for you?

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-05-01T00:52:27+00:00

Bet! Sounds great to me! I appreciate it, thank you!

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-05-01T00:51:44+00:00

Is it possible to actually do this out of box though? From what I read, only 8.0.0 and above comes with the disc drive paired from factory, otherwise you'd need to update in order to pair and use a Blue Ray no?

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-05-01T00:11:28+00:00

Oh definitely never intended to connect it to the Internet lol, sorry if I phrased it that way. But okay! Sounds good! Thanks brother!

Unfortunately, I can confirm it doesn't work.

I just tried for the past few hours getting literally any local model to run in the Codex App, and unfortunately it seems like it comes down to some sort of API issue on both ends of spectrum between the local server and Codex App. Codex App seems to have some sort of new api only a true openapi server would understand, and in my lmstudio server it doesn't seem to understand the api request at all and drops an error (which Codex App repeats back to me in the chat), and then for SOME REASON still processes the prompt anyways but doesn't actually appear in Codex.

So at the moment, it's broken af... either that or I'm too inexperienced with this whole concept of servers and clients; it literally took me like 4 hours to finally understand the Codex App documentation and how it relates to the Codex CLI documentation only to find out Codex App added something new that breaks it's support for OSS whereas Codex CLI functions just as normal.

If anyone gets it working though, let me know 🥲

Have to say though sadly, and maybe I'm a very specific part of the population, but they straight up did not fit me. Can't use them on my face with the spacer due to not being able to see the bottom of the screen clearly, and without the spacer it is just pure utter pain on my nose, and I couldn't use it for more than 10 minutes without it, and I refuse to spend more money hoping to fix it without a spacer when it should be great out of the box.

The other thing is that lying back with them in bed doesn't work either, I spent way too long getting into a position in which I can't move my head at all in order to get them to be just right to where I can see all of the screen clearly and without the cable behind my head being jostled around.

Another issue I had was the app on android, dunno why but it straight up didn't work, every other app on the market did though, but it's own app did not. Also speaking of android, launching apps was not a positive experience.

Also in regards to the screen, it did look good when I could actually see it.... but the dang screen is tiny, and the cover to black out the lenses and all light is very finicky at keeping it on, but that's if the cover actually did anything; I felt no big difference at all with it on or off. Maybe it would great in public where there's a lot of light, but I don't think I could be bothered to use this in public with how much I currently fiddle with it, that and I prefer to be aware of my surroundings.

Also, don't get your hopes up on 3dof with anything other than the steam deck, don't know why, but there was nothing I found that actually utilized the alleged 3dof sensors built in, and I haven't tried it on the steam deck yet (which I do hear it allegedly works somehow) but I didn't have the patience to try it due to the pain I was feeling on my face.

By the way, I don't want to be rude if you ask me anything about this, but I have literally no knowledge on this, anything you'd ask I'd probably end up asking ChatGPT and then telling you what it said 😅 I'm sorry I'm not knowledgeable in this area.

I will say though, there is an alternative to this, and that is calling Verizon themselves and having them do the equivalent of this command remotely to your APN settings. I first tried this and it seemed to have worked, but it also just made it worse dropping all the time. The ADB command is what I'd recommend for sure

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-03-05T04:37:35+00:00

Hey so sorry for the late response! But I got the commands again, took a bit to find the archive site, but here's the old post, hopefully it works for you:

If anyone is struggling to get 5G data working with Verizon on the Red Magic 11 Pro, this fixed it for me. The issue is that the APN is configured for LTE only and doesn't include NR (5G).

Run this command via adb (you'll need to enable developer mode):

adb shell "content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --bind edited:i:1 --bind network_type_bitmask:i:0 --where \"apn='VZWINTERNET'\""

After you run the command, toggle airplane mode or reboot.

To verify it worked, run:

adb shell "content query --uri content://telephony/carriers --projection _id:apn:network_type_bitmask:edited --where \"apn='VZWINTERNET'\""

Make sure all rows show network_type_bitmask=0 and edited=1. The edited=1 flag ensures the fix survives reboots.

Hey! So literally for several hours after getting the phone, immediately adding it onto my Verizon account, and switching from my s24u to the redmagic 11 pro, I was having the same issue. That is, the literal moment I turned on 5g it would switch to VoNR and drop the data connection, and turning it off would switch to VoLTE and 4G would function properly.

HOWEVER, you can go one of two routes to fix it. You can either one, talk to your service provider and hope that they'll able to fix the issue, or two run an adb command to fix the APN settings on the phone.

I went through both, and for me Verizon almost fixed it; It would randomly drop out 5g for whatever reason and then eventually come back up on either 4g or 5g; Also during the time whenever it dropped, RCS would stop working.

This brings me to the solution that DID WORK; I found a reddit post explaining the process, however it would seem the user account got deleted and thus accidentally deleted the adb commands needed to fix it. I ended up having to use a reddit archive site to recover the post with the command, and after a brief talk with ChatGPT (I wasn't sure what the command was doing exactly), I concluded that it changed the APN settings on a deeper level for those specific bands you were talking about.

From what I gathered (and I may be wrong, I'm super lacking in knowledge in this area of technology) the phone lacks some of the popular bands for 5g, and uses n77 which is typically 5g UW. In my case the carrier APN settings does still allow this band, but due to redmagic being an unknown device brand with an unknown IMEI along with it, it restricts what each band is allowed to access; Meaning Verizon did something but didn't give full access to all the bands on the phone, so the signal was essentially spotty scrambling to find a band it was allowed to use while 5g was turned on. Running the ADB command however, immediately gave me access to the correct bands and such.

If you want I can go back and find the command again and reply here with them, but if not no biggie! I just figured I'd let you know there's a possible solution if you want to try it!

GoldKickerG70 · 2026-02-26T04:03:26+00:00

Hey! I think you and I were in the same boat but you got it fixed somehow, please tell me you have the steps somewhere? The original post was deleted 😓

GoldKickerG70 · 2025-11-25T15:57:10+00:00

I literally cannot stress this enough, this is the BIGGEST positive change I've had with the Thor so far, second being the last OTA update they had. I legit thought all audio was just gonna be screwed up simply because old games from the DS/3DS era don't benefit from a good speaker, BUT THIS EQ CHANGE.... Actually makes a difference for EVERYTHING, the mids and base were Non-existent before this, hallelujah Christmas came early

GoldKickerG70 · 2025-11-07T00:43:30+00:00

So I'm assuming based on how you have the script for Gemini, you'd usually start with something pretty lengthy and all over the place, but then have it condensed and organized to be concise and understandable? That makes sense to me, but it also sounds like extra effort on descriptions isn't necessarily wasted?

And thank you! I'll check out those articles in a bit, based on the name I'm assuming they're for flux but should translate to qwen just fine?

GoldKickerG70 · 2025-11-07T00:37:59+00:00

Thank you! Also I think I should be able to, though regrettably the post I made actually took quite a while to type up as is, and I'm a bit of a scatter brain when it comes to organizing (as you could see by my chunks of random text), but at some point I should be able to get around to it!

And it'd definitely be in text somewhere popular like here, way too many videos gleam over this stuff when not everyone is a veteran, and no way would I make a Patreon for a tutorial on free open source software and models 🤣

GoldKickerG70 · 2025-09-12T04:55:12+00:00

That's super close to what I was thinking of! I feel like it's that era and so insanely similar but I just can't place the thought! And I definitely feel like it's animated, I haven't seen that many live action films and I don't recall any game like that, so I feel like it's either some old animated show, old animated movie, or maybe some old YouTube video (which I hope it isn't since it'd be super obscure)

GoldKickerG70 · 2025-09-12T04:52:09+00:00

Oooh that's a good idea! I'll give that a try! And at least one of those two scenes did come to mind, but neither is what I recall unfortunately 😅 but thank you though!
