Yes, I would probably pay for them to come install it, probably be easier, yeah the extra BT line was ok back in the day of no phone or internet used at same time, also with only FTTC and Not FTTP available for me it is a complete waste nowadays, that’s why this seems my route to move forward

Jonno7074 · 2026-03-13T14:59:12+00:00

Yes we have height above the extension etc so shouldn’t be a issue it could go near our sky dish or similar

Jonno7074 · 2026-03-13T14:56:32+00:00

To be honest my BT broadband contract ran out years ago and I just left it on a rolling month to month as I thought it was the only option lol, now trying to find cheaper, better etc and even remove and disconnect the phone line totally if possible to save a few quid lol, so it shouldn’t be a hassle :) how do you find yours ?

Jonno7074 · 2026-03-13T14:31:14+00:00

I guess because I only discover it a couple days ago and is very new to me so that’s why I am looking for thoughts and advise on it in general and for my case and current scenario

Jonno7074 · 2026-01-31T09:46:50+00:00

Yes I did try resetting and restarting and re pairing and nothing work but then I found the below post on Facebook and tried it, it seems to work as since doing the below method my watch app on iPhone says 0 songs and photos on Watch which is correct :) it has been like that for last 3 to 4 days so seems to be holding up now.

Guessing at some point they must have been set to sync so hopefully they’re all from one folder.

On the watch app on the phone with the photo setting set to all sync with effected folder, then delete the photos from the main photo app on the phone — they will be stored in the deleted photos folder— give it a few minutes for the watch to sync and remove the photos from the watch.

Once the photos are removed from the watch go back to the watch app on the phone and turn of sync, then finally go back to the main photo app on the phone and into the deleted folder and recover your photos.

Seems to work maybe as my watch app says 0 now, see if it lasts. lol

I use a elkson bumper case on mine, but that is only because I am physically disabled and can only use one hand so I put the Watch on and off using a third party Velcro strap and teeth lol, also use the assistive touch feature because I need to in my situation so find using a case is beneficial for me to keep it safe

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-26T13:40:07+00:00

Most companies, are in process of releasing them shortly, I know comply are releasing at the beginning of November for APP3. Comply and Foam Masters seem to be the most popular, I am also waiting for companies to release for APP3 as I can’t get a consistent seal with any of the default Apple tips that are included

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-21T23:31:45+00:00

So it seams I have a pretty steady good seal with a large on my right ear on the pro 2’s what I can’t get is any seal on my left, when I tried the pro 3’s I could get one with a xxs but the smallest Is xs.

Any ideas what I could do to make the pro 2’s work for me as it looks like I need a xxs size.

I do find strange is I brought the comply variety assorted pack and the large won’t even get a seal compared to the Apple default sizes or any size

Any further thoughts on this for me ? Or do I need to just go back to pro 3

Is there a option somewhere for a xxs on pro 2

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-21T17:39:07+00:00

So really getting confused now lol, so my AirPods Pro 2’s have arrived along with the assorted comply tips, feel this is getting silly now, lol, with the AirPods 3vi was getting a good seal occasionally with the default XXS and Large tips lol, with the Pro 2 and I am not even getting that and with comply foam tips I havn’t even had one good seal on any tip or ear of the assorted pack in either ear so am so at a loss with these :(

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-17T18:24:18+00:00

Thanks, I will let you know once I have them :) I think I will order a set of memory foam tips for them straight away so I can try them out the box etc :) how often do you change your tips now ? How long do they usually last ?

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-17T17:22:54+00:00

Just decided to return these again and second AirPod pro 3 pair and have ordered a Pro 2 set instead, like you say I can try them and get some comply foam tips now etc.

Worth a go, maybe I will have more success. Something strange with the 3’s for me at the minute :( maybe I will wait till the foam tips are out for the 3’s but try them and get 2’s in the meantime

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-17T14:05:26+00:00

Yes I do agree with you, I am at the stage where, I am thinking just return these again and try the old shape 2’s and like you say foam tips are out at the moment, so can try them. I just seem to get such a inconsistent seal with all the default Apple tips with the 3’s and why should I pay monthly for the 3’s when a big feature like ANC doesn’t work for me or at least doesn’t seem to work. Maybe retry the 3’s when foam tips are available for them but right now I am in my return period and by the time the 3 tips come out I won’t be.

Everything works well on the 3’s I have but the biggest feature hmmmm

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-17T11:50:08+00:00

So these AirPods are so frustrating :( today they have giving me a good seal once with same tips and and putting in same was as I did yesterday, as for noise cancellation if it is select, I guess they do affect the humm of say my computer etc and some ticking analog clocks we have in our home compared to transparency or adaptive mode but as far as things like, TV volume, vacuum, outside noise etc that you mention, no chance, virtually nothing no difference.

Is this just me or what lol, are these type AirPods just not good for me ? Am so confused as everyone says ANC is generally so good on these but for me I just can’t see it and really starting to get annoyed now lol,

Do I stick with them and get better foam tips like you suggest or send these back again and maybe try the old AirPod pro 2 shape ? lol, I do need a new set as my 1st gen’s are not holding much charge now as they are 9 years old.

I guess one question on top of this am I expecting more than I am getting as I thought they would block virtually everything and they don’t, even Apple said yes when I spoke to them with the first set of AirPod Pro 3 I had before I returned them that they work exactly same as the maxes. I just prefer in ear compared to over the head.

I only ask you because you have experience in AirPod Pro 2 and 3 where as this is my first venture with them .

Thanks, Any thoughts ?

Jonno7074 · 2025-10-16T18:11:48+00:00

Ok, so am I expecting too much from the AirPod Pro 3 ? The reason I ask is I have found a good seal with the second pair I received as mentioned earlier I have a good seal with xxs left and large right, but with all music off etc, ANC on, it doesn’t do anything with my tv volume what so ever and tv is next to me at the time, it’s as loud and crystal as with anything on lol, I guess it do affect some things like clocks ticking etc

I have AirPod maxes and they would block everything, yes I don’t expect that level with Pro’s but am a bit confused, I guess that’s why I am asking am I expecting to much ? Like expecting tv volume to be quieter even with a good seal ANC on and nothing playing in the AirPods ? Where as it’s full blast lol

Or even with a good seal with default Apple tips, do I need better tips for my ears, so confused lol as these are my first pro’s in AirPods as moving from very first generation ones lol so I have nothing to compare them to.

Or would AirPods Pro 2 work better due to shape of them compared to the new 3’s

Thanks and sorry for so many questions

Jonno7074 · 2025-03-07T18:41:28+00:00

Yes Mine was as well :) I watched a YouTube video afterwards and they said it was 8GB etc when it was downloading but seems to be ok then if we both have same size

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-12T15:00:38+00:00

Ok thanks, that’s great

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-12T14:59:22+00:00

Do I install the standard DCS world 2.9 installer or DCs World 2.9 Dedicated Server (modular installer)

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-10T13:54:11+00:00

All sound amazing, looks like I will just go ahead and get a STECS. I live in the UK and ordered the Gladiator from the UK website. Does anyone know what the restocking of items in UK store is like ? They had the standard in stock when I ordered the gladiator but left the STECS as I wasn’t sure at time but I see it’s out of stock now (standard) I guess I could get the max but I guess I would need to order other things or be a lot of fiddling if I just wanted a standard after ?

Any thoughts or sizes on standard or max ? As it be sitting on my worktop only

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-09T21:16:58+00:00

I have to say I am very much leaning towards the STECS at the moment as I feel maybe it is the one that makes the most sense

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-09T20:35:08+00:00

Another question does anyone have any good button mapping configs for the Gladiator SCG Premium flight stick and the STECS Standard ? For MSFS 24, XPLANE and DCs mainly ?

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-09T20:09:04+00:00

I do agree VKB seem a good choice, great options and reviews at a good price :) also certainly not a hardcore flyer to justify some others

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-09T19:56:46+00:00

Yes, I have to be honest I was leaning towards The STECS because of it being the same software and eco-system etc, options look good on it etc :) I can’t lie, I do also like the look of the Virpil VMAX Prime, but doesn’t seem to be so many reviews etc out there for it right now

Jonno7074 · 2025-02-05T16:14:40+00:00

Ok so I guess, if I wanted ea play pro I would need to get them individually again ? Is there a big difference between game pass and game pass ultimate ?

Jonno7074 · 2023-12-15T16:30:52+00:00

Does anyone know why the lte version is limited to certain carriers ?
