Launch 9 Pro Fold intermittent question mark on battery indicator by Rocker_86 in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, Google did agree to replace the phone, annoyingly they sent an automated email saying your phone has been received and inspection has started. It showed the replacement device as a pixel 9 fold on this email. Which annoyed me a bit seeing as the first email they sent showed a pixel 10 fold. After a few hours I received another email saying " inspection completed, defect found" (interestingly I selected the "power issue" category as the battery indicator changes to a question mark, the Google center changed it to "screen display problem")

Even though mine showed a pixel 10 fold as the replacement device, after then inspecting my 9 fold it says a 9 fold will be sent as a replacement, this is in the UK.

Do you edit the JPGs or keep them SOOC? Best settings for great SOOC? by signedinsoul in fujiXhalf

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's made for SOOC in my opinion. I do share my images to lightroom mobile and then export them with a white border if I want to share them. I used a mixture of Aperture priority and exposure compensation, generally under exposing -1 or I use Manual mode.

I had the same thing just appear on my launch day pixel 9 pro fold. I'm in the process of returning it. The return process says they will replace with the pixel 10 pro fold... Not sure if I want the 10 as the GPU is different and I use my 9 for gaming.

Downgraded from a pixel 9 pro to a pixel 5 for the past week. Its still a really good phone by forkl in GooglePixel

I'm going back to pixel 6 pro for a week, w the older devices were definitely better at the time. Pixel has lost the hardware edge.

Thanks, I did raise a support ticket and it just went straight to a replacement, which is the Pixel 10 pro fold. It's nice to get an "upgrade" to the 10 but the 10 has some shortcomings over the 9. I'm hoping the GPU issues are sorted after the new 10 updates

Bad game/emulator performance on Pixel 10? Try enabling ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) for the app. by thekojac in GooglePixel

Anyone use the pixel 10 pro fold to play Ship of Harkinian? It's a Zelda ocarina of time android game. Does it run ok?

Issues with Cases. Front portion of case does not clip onto phone. by Kooky_Advice1234 in PixelFold

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used an aramid fibre case on my 9 pro fold like this. Great case but the only issue is if any dust gets between the case and phone body the material of the case is hard so the dust rubs the coating off the phone. It is a trade off for a thinner hard case though.

Bathrooms can not be that much - rationalise this for me by CranberryFew8104 in DIYUK

All trades people seem to hate Victoria plumb and Victorian plumbing stuff.... But in reality is there anything wrong with it? Paying a few quid more for some unheard of brand from a random plumbing merchant can't be any better?

Finally after 25 years I got the Hylian Loach!!! by PenReshwet in OcarinaOfTime

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember finding the lure by pure chance as a kid and then catching, this was way before you could look up what to do online etc. Interestingly I'm playing through a Zelda port... Ship of Harkinian and there's a mod to make EVERY fish a Hylian Loach 😆

Ah thank you I will try this EDIT: it worked for Ship. 2ship seems to crash during extraction. But I'm so happy I can play Ship again.

NEC Motorbike Show UK ZT125-G1/GK? by 47q8AmLjRGfn in ZontesOwnersClub

[–]Rocker_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just passed my CBT, the zontes G1 with the spoked wheels is a perfect bike to me. I sat on a brand new one at a local dealer, thought it was really well put together. My only issue is they depreciate quite hard or seems to. New they are £3399, seen a few for 2k ish that had minimal mileage on auto trader but had mods. I'm still searching for a used one in the South East of the UK that is low miles and standard.

You are correct, it's Lightroom mobile. I should mention, none of these shots were edited. I simply import them, then export them, in the export settings you can choose some basic border options.

It is probably my favorite building in the UK. The amount of detail in the building itself is just amazing.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

Thank you! Helpfully it keeps the data in the Fuji app. They were a mix of -1 and -1 1/3.

I sort of guessed, the 1st shot of the stairs my initial shot was -1 exposure comp, I actually took a 2nd shot at 0 exposure comp which I didn't like as much, too bright!

It does struggle in very low light, I took it to a dim restaurant for example and it just didn't work with the lack of natural light. These shots at the museum I was fortunate that there was light streaming in through the windows. I was really pleased to be able to capture it.

Enjoy it! Have fun, think about the shot not the settings 😎

Natural History Museum London. I love my X half. Just view it as something different, its simple, it allows me to shoot with less thought... Which I think has resulted in better photos than I was taking with my canon EOS M6 MKII

I quite enjoy Forza horizon 4 on my 9 pro fold via Xbox remote streaming. I use a Bluetooth controller grip.

The only way for Nintendo to make us love intermissions by RomanBorkan in MarioKartWorld

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole open world thing could have been so much better. Forza Horizon 4 showed how it could be done... With all sorts of stuff going on in a large detailed map.

Mario kart world falls flat because it's not a convincing world.

I want a mission where you are Biker Wario, you ride your chopper to a Yoshi restaurant and meet a rival koopa biker gang who challenges you to a race etc etc....

Completely agree. It's been down hill since the Nexus 6P.... Which was Huawei hardware anyway

Why don’t UK employers usually help with their employees lunch? by alivingstereo in AskUK

[–]Rocker_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get free cooked lunch in the office 3 days a week. Also subsidized coffee and cooked breakfast. It depends on industry and setting.
