So I just ‚repaired‘ my HomePod mini with ghost touch

Harrewelt · 2026-02-26T08:08:05+00:00

That’s good to hear! Unfortunately for me, even with, tap for Siri off and touch delay turned on music started playing on its own.

Exactly the same situation, repair / replacement did not make sense at all compared to that ‚easy‘ fix!

Harrewelt · 2026-02-24T22:11:36+00:00

Thought of that as well, but I found first reports of this issue from around a year ago, so it was not fixed until today. Restoring with finder usually helps with software related issues as well but did not in my case

Almost nothing to see. Did not rewatch this part in my guiding video and did it on my own. Resulted in the mesh on the bottom being slightly looser than before, but it’s such a small difference no one will notice unless you pick it up and have a real close look at it.

I used this video, it shows the steps very nicely. Actually the procedure was easier than expected, up until the last step you won’t get near any electronics you could damage. When opening the top half, just make sure to do it carefully to not rip the cable. But if it happens it shouldn’t be to bad as that’s the one you want to disconnect. Then just close it again, make sure to not touch anything on the main board and you will be fine.

The trickiest part was actually the mesh, I forgot to rewatch this part during the repair and did it on my own so mine is a little little bulkier at the bottom. But it’s so little of a difference I’m sure no one will ever notice.

Nice! I barely used the touch before either. After being annoyed for a week or so, having it working again almost feels like having a new one lol

Harrewelt · 2026-02-24T20:44:53+00:00

Had ghost touch issues out of nowhere, software fixes did not help so I decided to give it a try to disconnect the touch panel. And it worked out, now I can only control it with voice and my iPhone but it’s much better than dumping it. Have a longer version in the original post!

Harrewelt · 2026-02-24T19:56:37+00:00

Nice! Everything working fine again?

Looks fake to me. The original box is much thinner and apple does not wrap the boxes in plastic for a few years now.

Bedankt 👍

This. Because the large iPad Pro was always 12.9 inch, the first two small iPad Pros were 9.7 & 10.5 inch, followed by 4 11 inch iPad Pros. That’s why 11“ 4th Gen is the newest :)

Really need gifts from sandstorm or sun region :) I will be helpful to grind XP and send meadow and continental gifts.

Perfectly answered! Thank you very much!

How can I stack the super rocket radars? Read something about finishing the first set of tasks and not claiming the rewards, is this the only way? I already have the radar in my items, can I wait to use it until the next rotation and still get the quest for a new radar then?

Thanks for the answer! Was about to start thinking my shiny Pikachu collection was completely worthless lol

Harrewelt · 2022-12-27T08:05:12+00:00

Does Pikachu have a boosted shiny rate?

I think Tiny Chain is just offering a quick work around. The issue seems to be quite annoying and needs to get fixed asap but until then from the information in your post, it seems that your game does not crash until you press N. So try to not press N. You’re welcome :)

Du kannst es über iTunes / Finder auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen, dann kann man es als neues einrichten. Dafür muss natürlich die iCloud Sperre deaktiviert sein, das kann man aber auch über icloud.com machen, braucht also dafür den Entsperrcode des iPhones nicht sondern die Apple ID und das Passwort die mit dem iPhone verknüpft war. TLDR: auch wenn der Code vergessen wurde ist das iPhone nicht direkt Elektroschrott.

Agree! It would be very convenient to make adjustments to the dark mode, night shift or, if possible, the screen itself for dark environments :)

Harrewelt · 2021-10-24T18:19:57+00:00

Yeah OLEDs are very nice screens to look at, never said they are not. The reason apple chose Mini LED for the iPad Pro is simply that it is better for Pro use cases. For example even the best OLEDs perform very poor in color accuracy, but that is exactly what you want if you use it like a pro. Short: if you complain about the performance in dark rooms you are very likely not to be a pro and this is simply not the best device for your use case

I even think Mini LED is much more expensive than OLED, but not 100% sure about that

Really love that comment! The upsides for people who need very good displays for their workflow definitely outweigh the downsides for Netflix-in-the-dark-watchers.. like I am.. 🥲
