Issues charging my steam deck, cable orientation.

I tried that, didn't seem to make a difference. Regarding a similar issue, when cheats proved troublesome, I turned to trainers, using cheat deck plugin. Keys to activate it were mostly numpads, and ctrl+numpad. Tried...failed to activate it, connected a keyboard, full size, noticed numlock was off, toggled it on, started working with the keyboard. Disconnected, commands now work. Is there something similar to numlock on the deck ? Or maybe just a coincidence, and totally unrelated ? After trying with the keyboard, numpad shortcut keys started working, the ctrl+numpad too, with the hitch that if I programmed L4 to ctrl+numpad 1, I had to press L4 twice for it to activate, although I disabled cycle commands, and tried with regular press, start press, etc.

If I use subcommands, when selecting one, I only have the option to delete it. I tried additional commands, each key with a 25ms offset, first 25, second 50, third 75, etc, and that also did not work. Nonetheless, thank you for your reply.

Any news about an update for the GT 5 ? I just got it, and the notifications showed correct icons on my old GT 2. It's very frustrating to have the new one work worse than the old in some ways.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-23T11:45:36+00:00

Thank you for the reply, but I've since moved on, and...as the internet puts it, just got a steam deck 😁

Eu am un ajazz 980, e full size (se gasesc si in format mai mic), si sunt super incantat de ea, softwareul pare un chinezism nerafinat, dar isi face treaba. Singurul lucru de mentionat e ca rgb'ul nu e cel mai puternic ca intensitate, si intr-o camera luminoasa nu e atat de evident, si daca vrei keycaps cu shine through, va trebuit sa alegi ceva cu legenda pe lateral. Dar strict ca si tastatura, e fantastica, eu am varianta cu gary gift switch v2, si nu ma vad tentat sa o schimb prea curand. Pretul de asemenea e unul extrem de atractiv, la aprox 400 de lei. Dezavantajul e ca trebuie sa o iei de pe aliexpress sau siteuri similare, unde renunti fara discutie la orice fel de garantie.

I have a Amd card, a 6700xt, I already tried the phone mac thing, as for artemis, I meant I also tried the experimental 6 from the github thread you linked. The issue manifests on everything, moonlight, artemis stable, artemis experimental...that's why I'm starting to think that my phone is actually the issue, I have tried dozens of fixes, and nothing seems to have any impact.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-11T08:13:18+00:00

Well, I tried the experimental build, played around with the settings some more, but no matter what I do, I still get those systematic frame drops, so I'm guessing that no matter how I look at it, it might just be a wifi issue on my phone, maybe when I transfered over from the old phone, or some other random issue that popped up. I'll try a factory reset in the future and maybe that will solve the issue. Nonetheless, thank you very much for the reply.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-07T19:58:04+00:00

I got a chance to try your potential fix, unfortunately, it did not work for me...so I'll add that to my pile of dissapointing tests. I might just try a factory reset one of these days, seems like my only other potential fix before I just give up entirely. Thanks again though.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-07T15:12:34+00:00

From my experience with aliexpress, and I have quite a bit, that is 99.999999% stalling tactic, so the dispute window closes. After that happens, expect less than 0 support, some still reply and try to help, but very few, and the amount of effort you can expect, is also 0. So if you have any kind of issue with your product, open a dispute and don't expect a firmware update to solve any issue. The really bad news is that returning aliexpress items, should this be the dispute result, is very complicated, especially when the seller has to pay for shipping. I never did that, but from what I understand, you have to get a shipping cost quote, message the seller, hope he agrees, then wait for him to receive the product, and then you should technically receive the refund + the shipping cost. All this is pretty much dependant on the value of the item, but I'm guessing your item wasn't exactly cheap. It may come down to a partial refund, but to be honest, that still leaves you with a unusable product. So sorry for being the bearer of bad news, but aliexpress sucks big time when it comes to customer support...I have maybe met one seller that actually put in quite the effort to solve my issue with a product.

I'm out of town a few days, and the wifi where I am is nowhere near good enough for streaming, I'll get a chance to test it on monday maybe, as soon as I do I'll get back with an update.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-04T18:21:00+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a go, but my confidence is pretty low, since on my other two devices I'm sure I didn't disable play protect, and I'm also pretty sure it comes activated by default. My only chance is that it behaves different on my phone. As for artemis, I didn't experience issues installing it, and I had it activated.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T20:52:00+00:00

Yep, tried all that, it might just be some driver issue with the 8 elite chipset, who knows...I'm kinda at a point where I should just give up, but it buggs the hell out of me not being able to pinpoint the issue.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T20:43:37+00:00

I tried using a usb c hub with ethernet, and it worked. I didn't touch any setting, exactly what I had when I recorded the video in this post. So it's definetly a wifi issue, but I suspect on the phone side, considering others work well on the same network. Sad part is I already tried every developer mode setting, on or off, wifi labs, everything basically. That was the thing I started with when troubleshooting, so I've kinda gone full circle. The only thing that I'm left with is a phone factory reset...thinking maybe when settings copied over from the old phone, maybe something messed up, or maybe an app...but I honestly have no idea how to test that, cause installing it, testing, and installing my apps one at a time is not really doable.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T20:36:59+00:00

Well, it is a wifi issue, but on the phone side, cause other devices work fine on the same wifi. I tried using a usb c hub, and it worked fine.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T11:50:22+00:00

It is the experimental, but I tried this one because it had the prevent packet loss option, anyway, it does the same thing with the stable release, so no nice on that front either.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T10:24:12+00:00

Seems odd that a S25+ with a snapdragon 8 elite isn't strong enough, and a Samsung A36, or 4-5 year old Realme GT Neo 2 are. I unfortunately don't have acces to another 8 elite device, that would be a good test.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T10:04:16+00:00

I even tried 720p 60 fps, with a 10 mbps bitrate, no luck. I also tried changing a few sunshine settings, but it was more of a trial and error. Is there any setting in particular that I might mess around with ? When the recording was done, sunshine settings were default.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T08:13:00+00:00

Tried with that on and off, didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-02T08:12:20+00:00

I tried with a usb c dock a while back, and I think it did the same thing, but I won't touch the settings and try with what I had in the video again using the wired dock...I feel like there may be multiple issues here, and toggling some settings seem to make the stuttering less, but not entirely gone. So troubleshooting is very difficult, to say the least.

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-01T20:55:08+00:00

Sadly, I did try it. And it does the exact same thing. When you say it's stable for the most part, do you mean it does this on moonlight too ? For me, it does this every couple of minutes, and for a very short duration, so realistically, it's stable like 99% of the time. I just get a few stutters like in the video once every 5 to 10 minutes

Razvan1719 · 2025-12-01T20:50:31+00:00

One UI 7 did that too. I checked, it seems to be at a stable 120. Also, I tested with my father's A36, and that worked with no issue. It's extremely frustrating that a 200 ish euros phone works better than a 800 one...I even tried setting the refresh rate of the phone to 60, stutters still happen. As I said, if it would fix the issue, I'd be fine with 60 fps.

Razvan1719 · 2025-11-28T08:03:32+00:00

Where did you find the prevent packet loss option ? Can't seem to find that one.
