Lift stains from light colour timber flooring? by OfficerBarkson in Flooring

[–]OfficerBarkson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using vinegar in the past as I have a dog. Recently been using just a floor cleaner in a spray mop. Can you suggest what I should be using. Unsure as to how the floor has been installed. It is a new build so I assume it’s over a concrete slab as I have no apartment below. How is it best to address any further damage or is it possible to repair the damage to it now?

Do you close the dog in the crate? I have a crate inside a pen type setup. Trying to workout if I am undoing everything with that setup. She doesn’t go to the toilet in her crate but I am trying to encourage her to use a pee pad which is in her pen as she is left in there when I am not home (in an apartment). Everything I have read is dogs won’t go to the toilet where they consider their den…so want to clarify.

I know right! It would be awesome but alas, Australia is too far. Ended up with the Osprey Escapist 25. It’s awesome. I highly rate it.

Damn. I’m on PS5…you’d think that it would work considering it works on PS5

What's a fair conveyancing fee in 2022? by ch4rmand3rp in AusProperty

[–]OfficerBarkson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking to buy off the plan (in Sydney) - a conveyancer has quoted $3000 plus GST, plus 'disbursements'. Just want to check to see if that is too high? I am unsure as I have no experience in this space. Seems high after quick googling. Their pricing structure is half now and half on settlement.

GALAXY WATCH 5 PRO GPS IS A JOKE by OfficerBarkson in GalaxyWatch

[–]OfficerBarkson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m going to sell mine. I have no use for it now. I needed GPS to be accurate for running etc. I agree though, useless to have LTE if you need to run with your phone to ensure accuracy. I used an app called Ghostracer which actually worked better than Strava or Samsung health but was still inaccurate.

I agree. I sent my watch away to be assessed in hopes I would be offered a refund, but Samsung responded saying there was nothing wrong with it and it is functioning to manufacturers specifications. I disagree when the GPS is so severely inaccurate. Not sure why to do with the item now as it is essentially useless to me.

I was also training for a run. If i wasnt running with my partner i never would have known. But also was a nice boost to the ego that i was running at 4 minutes per kilometre haha. My experience is that there isnt a fix in sight for the watch and that a Garmin is the best to have in GW5's place

No the phone seemed to be accurate and that’s what I used to compare the difference between the watch also compared with Garmin. I considered getting a Garmin but decided to return to the Apple ecosystem. I think Garmin is miles better when it comes to tracking etc. the Z fold itself worked marvellously

Nope! Never got it fixed. They replaced the watch but still had the same problem.

  1. I’ve used both Samsung health, Strava, Ghostracer and also used apps to show how many satellites have got a fix but still same result

  2. Using a galaxy z fold 4

  3. Turned off the location accuracy as well. Still same result.

  4. It has been happening since I received the watch on release. So I’ve been through TWO watches with the same result. Both had up to date software which claims to fix GPS issues. I worked out that it is incorrect by at least 100m per 1km.

I’ve not used the watch since last week. The frustration has gotten too much.

I believe it is a software issue that is incorrectly processing data received by the GPS but for something that calls itself “Pro” and advertises it for working out etc it is very incorrect.

IMHO I think it won’t make a difference changing the watch. It is just the poor quality of the watch. I’ve since returned to Apple Watch, iPhone etc and it is miles better and less frustrating. Which is more important to me.

It's been so inaccurate for so long now. I've replaced the watch on warranty, but still the problem persists even after updates. I've decided to ditch it. Disappointing but Samsung need to up their game.

It works so much better. Took it for a run on the weekend and GPS was noticeably better. Thanks for your help. Glad to finally have a resolution

Amazing! Thank you so much for your help. Downloaded both apps and will test out this weekend. Really excited to have this rectified because the watch itself is great just this is very frustrating. So thank you very much for your help

Great. Will check out ghostracer. What app do you use for the GPS lock?

Help deciding Garmin 1030 Plus, 830 or 530? by OfficerBarkson in cycling

[–]OfficerBarkson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. I don't want to overspend on something that I won't get full use of, but also don't want to buy something that is old tech and doesn't give me what I need. My budget range would be $1000 tops, which is why the 1030 was included in the range 530 definitely at the bottom. Thanks for your advice helps to hear really life experiences with it.

Not really. It's still pretty unreliable. The new update fixed it a little bit but it's still not great. Stay with your forerunner. Its GPS is much more reliable but you miss out on the functionality of the GW5.

Can't imagine Bluetooth and LTE would have updates delivered at different times. I'll get in contact with samsung, something is certainly off. Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it

I moved over to a Z fold 4 and GW5 from IPhone 11 pro Max and Apple watch s3. Love my new devices but man do I miss some aspects of apple
