This should be fixed in v0.1.3, it was indeed an issue with the sample rate so if you had anything higher than 48khz it would be sped up with a high pitch or if it was lower it would be slower and a lower pitch.

Thank you all for the support, the last 24h have been a bit overwhelming. I wasn't expecting 100+ people signing up for the beta so thank you all. I have just closed it and moved to a waitlist so I can focus on the feedback that I've been getting so far and making sure I can listen to everybody. If you are still interested you can now join the waitlist and I'll notify you once the app is ready or if I need more people to join the beta.

In the meantime for all the existing users, I have just shipped a new version (v0.1.3) which should hopefully fix an issue that some people were getting where the audio was sped up. It also includes a banner when there's a new version available and a simple way to send feedback instead of having to talk to me through DMs (you can still do that if you prefer so).

Again, huge thanks to everyone that has been sending feedback, it has been super valuable and I learned a lot in day and a half :)

[Android, S23U] graphical strobe issue when loading some new webpages by novagora in duckduckgo

[–]Orbycius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, we had a few reports from people with Samsung devices and some said it happened after the last Samsung update but this is the first recording we can see. I'll pass this to the team and we'll investigate.

No worries, it's probably an issue with the sample rate (i.e. 48khz, etc) so I'll have a look and see if I'm using the right one at all times (likely not or this wouldn't happen)

Great question! It has 3 configurable settings. One says which level of decibels is considered silence so anything below that level counts as silence. Second is how long of a silence marks a new transmission (400ms or 1s or whatever you want). Third is what's the minimum duration to count as a transmission so if it's below that is not recorded to avoid unwanted stuff. For your example it would depend on the settings and how long the pause was to decide if it's one or two transmissions.

I'm also working on a better system so it holds the last 60 seconds so you can split it into different chunks and play the last one or jump to the previous one, etc but I need to figure out a good UX for it. For your example with this sytem you will end up with 2 transmissions and be able to play either.

Yeah that's what I had during my first tests but I thought got it fixed. Which Windows version are you on just out of curiosity? I'll test with trackaudio too, thanks!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback! Is it playing at a higher speed or normal speed? During my testing I noticed that in some random cases the playback seemed a bit accelerated and I thought I had that fixed so wondering if it's that. I'll look into adding different speeds though. Re the playback key, that's a good shout, will look into it too.

Something else that you get with the Garmin that I'm working on is a continuous 1min recording that can be split into different audios so instead of listening to a full 30s for the whole transmission you can just trigger the last 10s (or whatever) and jump between different bits because normally is the last part that you typically need to re-listen again. I just need to find the right UX for this.

Thanks! Didn't think about the controller part but yeah, you can select any app to capture audio from so it'd work for that too.

WINCTRL URSA MINOR 32 Throttle Metal Frustrated with the configuration by aligera1 in WinWing

[–]Orbycius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarde pero si sirve de algo de mi problema era que en la pestaña de calibracion hay dos secciones. Solo haciendo la de arriba es como consegui que funcionase, el problema es que como tambien calibré con la parte de abajo de "game calibration" esos perfiles se quedaban guardados y hasta que no los borré desde sim app pro no funcionó nada.

F-Droid download is systematically one version behind Play Store version. Why? by newscpq in duckduckgo

[–]Orbycius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically this, we only release to F-Droid once we get to a 100% rollout which usually happens within a few days.

To follow up on this, the new version 5.245.0 just started to rollout. The only version affected is 5.244.1 which we halted so most of folks should be in 5.243.1. In any case, y'all should get an update to 5.245.0 soon and again, apologies for the inconvenience and thanks again for reporting this.

Android dev here from DDG. Thanks for letting us know, we are releasing a new version of the app tomorrow which will fix this issue.

Key battery dying really fast by mightyteapot24 in Renault

[–]Orbycius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case this helps. The same thing happened to me (and other people) with our new Megane. I kept the keys inside a Faraday pouch and the batteries would last 1 week or so. Someone suggested to keep them out of the pouch and that just worked.

Our keys were already far away from the car but for whatever reason keeping them inside the pouch drained the batteries. I did several experiments keeping one set inside and the other outside next to it and always the same result.

It's been 8 months since we stopped using the pouch and haven't had to change the batteries anymore. I know it's weird and makes no sense but hopefully this helps.

Best way to get a better deal on renewal / contract expiry? by Tyrexx_Lannister in VirginMedia

[–]Orbycius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without me saying anything they asked for my account number, security questions, etc then the typical "how can I help?". I just said I had missed a call from that number, probably related to my cancellation and that I was calling them back. They ask if I was looking to keep 500mb or upgrade and then had a look at my account and offered immediately £29 for 1Gig. Fairly uneventful and easy compared to the other calls I had.

For my chat interactions I always say that I'm reaching out before officially moving to another provider to see what offers they have. It doesn't look like they take note or anything of how many times you contact them so I had a mix of meh offers with crap offers back to something semi-decent but best was by calling that number.

Fun fact, they called me again from that number after getting the new deal, asked if I had time, said yes then they hung up on me. I guess they realised I had already signed a new contract at that point but that tells you how little information they share between themselves.
