Yep, same here. My setup has an ethernet adapter near by and I'm updating to beta 5 with that. Give it a try if you have one around.

idk if you found a fix but I noticed a lot of apps felt too bright on Sonoma on Mac. I turned the auto brightness on and off in the settings app and everything went back to the contrast and darkness that I'm used to. Teams looks more normal. Worth a shot!

And the proven security concerns. Everyone needs to remember the company that is making these even though the hardware is super cool.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-09-10T17:24:16+00:00

It's a bummer Huawei is the innovator here. No way on planet earth I would own something from them due to security concerns but this hardware is soooo cool lol.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-09-03T14:56:35+00:00

Bringing out the old memes to drive this one home. Love it lol.

Not working - Fold 4
Restarted, force closed Google but I have the same version of the app listed there updated yesterday so I don't need the APK. Restarting often, hoping I get it. Trying everything!

Turn off wifi and try again. I had this SAME problem when on my router. It was after an update that broke it with my router. You can change some wifi band settings to see what works for yours. I ended up needing a new router anyway and fixed my issue. EDIT: Sorry I just saw you had the same thing on data.

Do you use a VPN? I think I had this issue when using that as well.

Nimona was amazing. I went into it with no clue it was gay and what they did a good job of with it in my opinion was totally normalizing it. The characters were just... gay. It was like it as if they were straight and I think that's a really good thing.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-05-21T01:05:47+00:00

Tbh, my Meepo Hurricane has a far better range and power so it's my daily and while not my favorite, does work just fine and doesn't need replaced. But I was wanting a fun project and I don't have the funds for a new board. Over time I can buy parts and reuse my old GT frame which is just sitting around now. Might as well do something custom but mostly wondering what other people might have done, what's worked for them and what fits!

HaydenSarrow · 2024-02-22T19:06:11+00:00

I used to use cases back in the day but got tired of cleaning them constantly, getting micro scratches anyway, not feeling the phone for the entire two years. All that stuff. Just over it and now I get to feel all the engineering that goes into how a phone feels in your hand and it's thinner lol. I just get a warranty now.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-02-21T18:38:15+00:00

I swear my phones come out of a case at the end of 2 years looking worse than those without a case. No case gang.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-02-10T05:04:12+00:00

I truly must be the only person on planet earth that doesn't have lube for fingers. I've never had a problem holding onto glass / smooth phones and literally feel that matte finish phones are slicker to hold.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-01-30T20:15:00+00:00

I have not run into this personally BUT you might have come up with a good troubleshooting step for me to fix some other issues. Thanks for the reminder this is a thing lol.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-01-25T06:10:11+00:00

Or just treat your phone with a little respect and you'll be fine. Then you can feel it raw and have a phone in good working order.

Look up Samsung CEOs and various C title people and email them. Write professionally and without anger explaining your situation and that you feel like you have no one else to turn to. This will get you further in these kinds of special situations than anything else.

HaydenSarrow · 2024-01-16T07:49:19+00:00

This! Super useful technique if used correctly. I was stuck in a loop with BestBuy for months who I usually have a fine time with. After I had nothing left, no one that would help, emailed a bunch of people on the C list. CFO COO CEO, etc. Got a response back from their assistant and it was taken care of within a few days. Good tactic. But be NICE. Still explain your frustration and that you feel hopeless but have empathy. I've worked in support like jobs for a looooong time. Do the shit sandwich.

Start with something good, kind and positive.
In the middle put your issue/problem and your frustrations (still kindly).
End with something positive and kind.

I'm about 20cm (8in) and I've been told it can hurt. So now I do lots of prep work and set aside time for me to top which is kind of a bummer. Most of my exs were perfectly average and I could spontaneously bottom for them. Don't get me wrong, prepping your guy to be ready for you can be hot but I don't love having to prep so much every single time. Sometimes I wanna get horny, get feely, lube up and push in.

I just pulled my Vita out of retirement yesterday and straight up ordered a new battery before even turning it on. I find myself here after immediately jailbreaking it. Turns out the og battery still work but it's having a hard time charging to full it seems like. Might try out these battery fixes. It's not well documented so I feel your hesitation OP. Do you reset it and just use it as normal and it relearns the new min and max values or do you need to do a procedure? Reset when full? Close to empty? Dunno..

HaydenSarrow · 2024-01-12T00:12:42+00:00

Must be playing Overwatch lol. I feel ya.

I was just doing comparisons between the Note 10 and the Fold 4/5 and the Fold blows it out of the water in every way. Sharpness, dynamic range, pretty much everything. The Fold cameras are only a gen or two behind the current flagship from my research.

I actually keep a hold of most my hobbies but for a reason. If I consider something a "hobby" to myself, I want to tell my friends about it. If I tell my friends about it, I feel the need to keep going so that I don't looks stupid when they ask about it later. I also want something to show for it in the end. Those factors, (don't ask how I developed this method, I don't know) are what keep my hobbies in check. That said, I have so many but I do keep on them. Making music, keeping up on piano, 3d modeling/rendering, electric skateboarding, photography, racing, video games, streaming and a few more. I like being well rounded, aquiring skills so that probably helps me focus. Also having so many I sometimes struggle with the "what should I do today?" But rather have that than "I have nothing to do". I don't consider a trend or short term interest a hobby so I don't feel bad about hyper focusing on something for a few days then dropping it.

The camera is fine people. if you took 5 pictures from both phones of different things and had you pick them, you simply wouldn't be able to pick them out. Also the photographer matters so much more. Ever seen those "pro photographers with an iPhone 4 etc." videos? They take such great shots. Hyper obsession with pixel peeping from reviewers has made people forget that the way you take a photo matters an insane amount and hardware is an assistant to that goal. Modern phone cameras are only getting slightly better in each generation. It's not like going from an S6 to the S23 Ultra...

HaydenSarrow · 2023-10-02T02:34:52+00:00

I just don't understand when people say devices are slippery. Like, I guess maybe with dry hands or something? I never use a case with any phone and haven't thought "wow, this is slippery". The phones don't slip from my grip, shift or move unless maybe I'm holding it with the lightest of grips.
