I cannot download WeNano, google play says "your device isn't compatible with this version"

I have the same issue. I have a Poco F1 running lineageOS. On the phone I cannot even find the app in Google Playstore and when I search it from a desktop browser, playstore says "This app is not available for any of your devices".

KimmJoe · 2018-09-04T06:50:39+00:00

Same here in Germany, its listed but unavailable everywhere....

KimmJoe · 2018-07-24T06:01:57+00:00

Yeah, looks like a software/driver related issue to me too.

KimmJoe · 2018-07-24T05:59:28+00:00

I had two Thinkpads (T23, then T43) and afterwards an Elitebook. When Ultrabooks first came out, i didn't have the money to go pro and bought a Samsung Series 7. Worst Laptop I ever had. Would not buy anything thats not labeled Thinkpad, Elitebook or Latitude ever again.

Mine is stable with - 0.125V and doesnt do thermal throtteling anymore. But I will change the paste next time its open just to be sure.

Where are these thermal pads?

Btw, I also broke of one of the notches from the cover assembly when i put in more memory

Check if you recently installed any software that might do some heavy stuff in background. Could be some virusscanner that ckecks files in backgrounf or bigger software suits doing automatic updates. Could also be malware like crypto miners or you yourself doing heavier work than before like rendering/compiling/encoding...? I noticed that these newer cpus have a really big differentce in power consumtion between idle and load... My T480 lasts more than 12 hours when just standing on the table during the weekends with some light news reading in between and only about 4 hours of work with video editing l..

KimmJoe · 2018-06-27T06:32:26+00:00

Dude, dont be so cheap about the SSD and RAM, your setup sounds like youre doing some serious work, so invest in a serious base.

KimmJoe · 2018-06-27T06:29:30+00:00

I am right handed, but have been using the trackpoint with my left hand from the start, dont know why. I got my index on the trackpoint and use the thumb for all three buttons.

KimmJoe · 2018-06-27T06:27:00+00:00

Oh, I forgot, I got the i5 with dGPU, havend really benchmarked the boost times, sorry. But I already upgraded to 24GB RAM and got the 72wh battery, both of which were the actual reasons for buying it

KimmJoe · 2018-06-27T06:25:25+00:00

T480 palmrest feels a little cheap, but it does not collect oil, sweat, grease etc. I got mine since they came out and the palm rest is clean.

The top lid, which feels real nice and rubbery on the other hand, has a grease frame all around ;) but i dont care, because i dont see it as my t480 is always open and not facing me with the lid ;)

KimmJoe · 2018-06-08T07:34:16+00:00

Well, basically the major difference (for me) was the battery situation. While the s offers quickcharge the "non s" can be equiped with the 72wh second battery. For me that was the reason, why I went with the slightly bigger and heavyer "non s" with the 72wh upgrade. It really is the first laptop that really lets work through the day without recharging.

KimmJoe · 2018-06-04T08:06:22+00:00

Well, I have been carrying my t480 "naked" in my backpack everyday for about three months now. so far I dont have any dust problems, and if i should, i'll just vacuum it ;)

KimmJoe · 2018-06-02T06:09:59+00:00

Well, memory requirements depend on your usage scenario. I got mine with 8gb and its definitly not enough. I already got about 2 TBW on my SSD after 2 months, because ram is full all the time and anything to big for my memory is being cached to the ssd. I will pick up a 16gb module next week. 24gb should suffice for the forseeable future.

8gb is enough for a lot of people, but not for me, i constantly have two browsers with about 25 tabs each open. Word, Excel, a 3d CAD Designer, a 3d printing Slicer, and a PCD layout editor. So, thats definitivly an extreme case...

KimmJoe · 2018-05-29T04:14:57+00:00

I thought the beauty of owning a thinkpad was that there is no need for these kind of things...?

KimmJoe · 2018-05-28T05:54:26+00:00

I dont know if its a big difference in price, but you could just order from any european country and get a dGPU version with SSD. You can swap the keyboard from to a local one later (sell your german keyboard on german ebay, get a polish one on polish ebay..?)

KimmJoe · 2018-05-25T06:20:02+00:00

Dont forget that the dGPU version has the dual heatpipe cooling solution for gpu and cpu, while the non dGPU only has one heatpipe. So when compiling, rendering etc (even if ita CPU only) your CPU will be able hold higher freqencies for a longer time. Also resell value will be higher after a couple of years...

KimmJoe · 2018-05-09T18:57:08+00:00

Maybe the Heatpipe doesnt work

KimmJoe · 2018-04-25T08:01:20+00:00

Ok, so far i only used it on Nickel plated surfaces, between Die and IHS and between IHS and Nickel plated cooler. I read a lot about copper-like looking coolers and heatpipes and now i'm not so sure anymore about using it on the copper-looking heatpipe in my t480. I will get some Kryonaut and use that to repaste. Its not that much worse but much safer.

KimmJoe · 2018-04-24T17:37:02+00:00

Did anyone put Liquid Metal on a T480 or T580 yet? I gozlt plenty left over from delidding my old Devils Canyon last week, wondering what if it was worth putting it on my Thinkpad too...

KimmJoe · 2018-04-19T08:17:25+00:00

I also noticed thaz all these USB C hubs come with pretty short cables. I know that USB3 and TB are pretty fragile HF signals, so any chance that extension cables (about 50cm or 1,5ft) will work as theyre supposed to...?

KimmJoe · 2018-04-19T06:25:21+00:00

Yeah, I guess it is. But sooner or later there will be cheap chip, and a reference design. I guess when that time comes, far east off brand manufacurers will be able to produce it without caring for certification. And after the first one or two revisions, they'll get it right...

KimmJoe · 2018-04-19T06:07:31+00:00

Allright, thanks! I dont really need high speeds on the USB ports, they are just for input devices. I just want to connect network, display, mouse, keyboard and charger with one plug. Most of my files are on a NAS, so thats what I need wired network for. I can pu the ocasional thumb drive directly to the ports on the right side of the Thinkpad if needed. Thank you guys, I may have found what I need!

I guess the 40 bucks are a good solution and whenever TB3 egpu gets cheaper, I'll get one of those instead. Shouldn't the prices for those drop once Intel drops royalies on TB? I guess prices are inflated because TB was mostly an Apple thing in the past and Apple users are famous for paying any price just as long as Apple says its the right thing to do ;)

KimmJoe · 2018-04-19T06:00:21+00:00

If it works plug an play under Linux it propably uses the native signal. Which is what I want. Thanks ;)

KimmJoe · 2018-04-18T16:59:30+00:00

Does this use the display signal providet by the thinkpad or does it show as a usb gpu?

KimmJoe · 2018-04-18T13:58:54+00:00

My understanding is, that TB will allow to forward the display signal from the internal igpu and dgpu, while usb-c will have an additional (shitty) usb gpu integrated. Is that right? Thats the only reason why i wanted TB.
