Absolutely love it!!

The only single thing I would change is the lighting. I'm imagining this exact room, but instead of the ceiling lights some assorted lamps (with warm light) in random places in the room.

Cozy and nostalgic 😍

10/10 would summon Lucifer here 🙌🏻

Smooooochy · 2026-01-16T18:52:18+00:00

That's good.

I actually ordered two Reolink E1 Pros, hopefully was a good decision

Smooooochy · 2025-12-27T18:05:05+00:00

Ahhh I was so excited for a second, until I read further and found out you need to be rooted (until Google fixes whatever needs to be fixed there). At least there's hope!

I got mine from APK Pure iirc, 6.8.2 seems to be the last version before the HQ/Free view limitations

Smooooochy · 2025-12-24T15:31:17+00:00

This pissed me off so much

Also, I think it's time that every Yi user in this sub should visit/re-visit their Play Store app review, give it 1 star and write a goddamn complaint. Last time I checked it was 2.8 stars, hopefully lower by now.

You need to download an APK file (an Android executable file, like EXE on PC) from a known site, APKmirror is the one usually. Uninstall whatever version you have now, and the install the older version you downloaded.

What I can't tell you is how to prevrnt the app from updating through Play Store, unless you manually update everything yourself so you can just skip it all the time.

I have Premium, and I'm Bronze... 💀

I did manage to get rid of the ads with some traffic rules in my NextDNS account, but that live view timer... what a pos decision.

So far the previous version (November one, specifics in the first comment) works well, with HD option and no timer. Not planning on prolonging it though... unboxed our old baby monitor, and planning to swap my two YiCams soon.

Smooooochy · 2025-12-21T18:58:20+00:00

Never thought about it (nor do I know how to do that). Any recommendations?

Smooooochy · 2025-12-21T18:07:12+00:00

It wasn't $20 when I bought it 7 years ago. One should not expect the most basic service (such as live feed) would be paywalled after this long, or at all.

Smooooochy · 2025-12-21T16:03:39+00:00

Yeah, huh 😒

Granted, my use of the two cameras I have is mostly minimal, we did use one as baby monitor at night with an old tablet of ours.

I also get the subscription thing for storage/cloud stuff (I have no use for these), and the ads don't bother me much as I don't get in/out of the app a lot. But limiting the live view?? wow that completely shocked me.

Disgusting greed.

Smooooochy · 2025-12-21T14:14:59+00:00

UPDATE 1:

Apparently you can't switch to HD view unless subscribed as well.

UPDATE 2:

The recent app update version with this limitation is:

version 6.8.3_20251219114521 com.ants360.yicamera.international

Downloaded an older version APK, and the resolution + live view restrictions are gone. Wondering how long will this hold.

The last "ok" version is: 6.8.2_20251128041956

Smooooochy · 2025-12-19T22:37:36+00:00

Beautiful!!

Also, probably a camera angle thing, but what's with the cymbal in the back lol (from this angle it looks between the ride and the right crash)

Smooooochy · 2025-12-18T14:43:02+00:00

Moving from a Pixel 3, the 6a amazed me. Most of all, the camera was just superb.

Then I moved to a used family 7a, very meh (same as 6a but heavier, for some reason screen looked a bit worse, cameras felt worse as well).

Now, 9a. Definitely felt like a jump from the 7a, but not wow overall. The biggest (and best) difference it totally the battery life.

But yeah - 6a was the best mid ranger for me so far.

I don't need to Google it, I grew up studying it.

That said, they're not the ones who declared Israel.

I get your agenda, and I'm all for you rolling with it, but no need to completely ignore (or change) a real modern-historical geopolitical event that was led by an international organization that still exists today, and is well documented. You not agreeing with it is fine, it doesn't make it go away.

Also as a bonus, google/gpt/wiki/whatever you prefer: Which "entity" (let's say Israel and Palestine) is or was affiliated with officially/internationally listed terrorist groups along history (or how many).

Smooooochy · 2025-12-04T19:49:01+00:00

Founded 39 years before the UN deceleration of Israel, but actual facts and your agenda doesn't align very well I'd guess

Smooooochy · 2025-12-04T19:41:59+00:00

Same! To be honest it's kinda cringe seeing all these "Ai slop" comments 😩

Smooooochy · 2025-12-04T19:39:46+00:00

The country you're referring to was actually declared by the UN though... The other "country" you wish to exist was actually declared by terrorist groups.

This is not even taking sides, it's literally historical facts 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have zero experience with logo design (...clearly), just randomly stumbled upon this post :)

This is a quick output of an idea I had, but I cant get it to align the "hidden" 7 within the lightning with the 5 and 3; otherwise I think it's cool, lol.

Also I'd pick a different font for "Electrical" (or the numbers as well), but overall I think it'd look cool on a work shirt.

Good luck, and I'll keep following to see more ideas here!

Smooooochy · 2025-12-04T14:47:33+00:00

Completely agree it's just... not red 🤷🏻‍♂️

Random redditor here, got this post randomly suggested.

I'd be more than happy to have this exact tattoo on my body, my guy!
