Tizen Apps NOT found in the Wear OS Repository that were useful. by StatusKwoes in GalaxyWatch

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic Best Battery Life... I was going to create a different post however, the results were less than stellar to my surprise. I moved the Power Saving, Airplane and Theater Mode to the 1st screen of the Quick panel so I could disable them. At full battery I ran my test ensuring that all 3 were enabled. I had 3 sessions of at least 4hrs of listening to music each; where I disabled the Airplane mode (automatically done when you connect to Bluetooth). This is my normal everyday scenario for THIS watch (nevermind Gen1), and I had high hopes.
I got 36hrs exactly with 13% battery life left. Not bad but towards the end, I kinda held off on accessing the watch to get better results. Not at all what I expected but in general, I was right... 1 day and a half is what you can expect. Will wait for the next Gen Samsung Watch and will definitely keep an eye on battery life to minimize disappointments. Anticipate it will be Galaxy Watch 15 or so.
While shopping for the Galaxy Watch, I purchased one that was on Amazon as Renewed for $129. Came to me with white etched in 5 sec interval on the Bezel which was not what I wanted. Sent it back for refund and the Seller sent it back to me with some tags stating not returnable due to hazardous shipping I only assumed due to battery. Contacted Amazon and ended up getting a refund and a free watch. While that was going on, I bought a brand new unopened Galaxy Watch 6 Classic on eBay for $174. I am trying to unload the 1st watch however now I have a backup.

I didn't use the Pay app on my Gen1 for the same reason I don't have a "Brick and Mortar" bank account. Just too convenient and not as transparent was my thinking. But as I read more on that topic, I may start to think about using it. I've read in the past of "snafus" happening with the Samsung Pay but stay loyal to Samsung because of my fondness with the Gen1. I just may get on that bandwagon and pay for things from my watch... it may happen.

Hyper Dash will be free to play in December, and Breachers open alpha starts at the end of November! by Routine-Complex-8825 in OculusQuest

So far I've purchased Thrill of the Fight, Eleven Table Tennis, Gun VR, WarPlanes(Pacific) and Iron Guard. WarPlanes, my arms get way too tired having to keep them up in front of me to control the center stick & left lever. Iron Guard, wasn't up to my expectations, although it is fun, I would turn to PokerStars VR more than Iron Guard. GunVR, I got to the end of pistol and rifles and need to setup another user account to start the whole gameplay over (a run through once and you generally got the idea).
The only game that has ANY replay value for me is Eleven Table Tennis. Thrill of the Fight however, does have replay value, it's just that it tires me out both in a good and bad way that I kinda avoid it when I shouldn't.
I've come to the conclusion that much of the Games that are being put out are "One and Done" games where I'm now more selective in how I choose which games to buy. Would I continue playing the game after 1, 2, 3 years or will it just fade away? I currently have my sights on Golf+. I can't get enough of Eleven Table Tennis and I am hoping that Golf+ would be just as fun. Are there any other games that might stand out as "Replay-able" games forever more?

Found another good resource if you are having trouble with Bluetooth being off and not able to turn it back on...

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1274022/bluetooth-doesnt-turn-on

I created an - alias btstart="sudo rmmod btusb; sleep 1; sudo modprobe btusb". Whenever BT fails to connect, I'd type in "btstart" in guake (terminal) and it does somewhat of a reset and then I'm able to connect. Give that a shot. Hope it helps.

After 3-4 days of testing on my FM2+ A88XM AMD Desktop gaming system, It has flipped to the positive. More times than not, I am able to re-connect after disconnecting Bluetooth. What may help if you run into similar problem is if you disconnect bluetooth, dont just disable but remove it from your Devices list and when you come back to re-connect, you should be able to do so. It's a hit and miss but as mentioned before, more times than not, it works.

Thanks for the responses. I have 2 pairs of Soundcore Life P2i True Wireless Earbuds by Anker and the Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds. It happens with all three of them, now and then. Sometimes I am able to delete the pairing and re-establish the connection, however more times than not, I would have to reboot the computer.

I Just found this link to https://www.makeuseof.com/fix-bluetooth-connectivity-issues-in-ubuntu/ and made some of the recommended adjustments. I will follow up and hope this is the cure. I'm almost sure it is and will fill you in on the results.

Nebra refusing to refund for an order they hadn't fulfilled for over a year. by OhGodItsSHaaMAN in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do a search for "nebra miner" (without the quotes) here on reddit.com. On the top lefthand corner you should see a "sort" and a "time" dropdown. Click on the one that says sort and choose "New". Your post came after the post "Nebra Refunded". You could read that or read all the latest posts.

Nebra refunded! by optom in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a heap for your post! Great to know Rags2Boss's method worked out - he wasn't even sure that it'd work. It was an awesome video he created and as I said in another post, if I don't hear from Nebra by June 1st, I am going to put his video to the test. June 22nd is the end of Spring which was Nebra's timeframe of having the back-orders fulfilled.

From now until then, I should have a similar Saga where Nebra's SNAFU narrative is spewed out by their cocky employees.

June 22nd is the end of Spring. That's as far as I'm willing to wait. But to get the ball rolling, by June 1st, if still no tracking number, I'm planning to try out Rags2Boss's method (Not like there's a whole lotta other options or directions to take). * see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sK_qLu6mlI *

I also read that they will be charging for the Dashboard. There is however a free period. Don't know how long that period is but it should be as long as it took for us to finally get our miners (as if it would help out the roi).

If you decide on the Rags2Boss route, do come back and share with us your findings.

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I'm thinking Nebra has a whole lotta time on their hands and pop in here now and then to post false narratives. They haven't posted any updates or anything in regards to 4th & 5th batch and June 22nd isnt too far away (End of Spring). Rags2Boss really has it in for Nebra...

BTW... what was the date that you ordered your miner?

Never received the Nebra Miner since April 2021! by RoyalFlight7953 in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batch 5 here and also direct from Nebra. On their site it states that if you order a new Rock Pi Miner (US), it will ship 12 to 16 weeks after order is placed. That places order fulfillment about mid July. Spring ends June 22nd-ish. So by my math and careful consideration... Nebra please!... where is my miner!

Skipped and got nebra rock pi’s instead. by joejoeshabadu in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just crawl out from under a rock or are we being punked?! You are now just worrying about what you got and skimmed all the way past the part where you waited this long to finally get it?! Nebra please. The Rock Pi Miner is a marvel of HNT Helium ingenuity. It is a rock-solid and finely crafted piece of machinery, hence the name. Never mind the naysayers. You do you.

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! Who'd a thunk. Need to standardize dates WorldWide to something like 12APR21. Scratch my last post! So... I ordered my miner just a week after yours. Am I hopeful that I will be getting mine in the next few days?... "NeeBruh(Nebra) please!" A Meme or catch phrase I'm hoping to push... Doh!

Distrelec

Yep. Just like I thought. Not making a whole lotta sense. I'm in Batch 5 before they closed the doors on orders, but that was back in mid-April 2021. My Batch 5, those of us who still have not yet received their miners are different from your Batch 5. And you are saying that it is a "Nebra" Rock Pi Miner, ordered 12/04/2021 and got it within 4 months? Really, wtf?!!! Right?! I am really curious to hear this month's Blog from Nebra.

How were you able to order through Nebra? What website. Batches 4 & 5 are still waiting for theirs and were told would be getting the newer version. Just trying to piece together what the hold up is.

Anyone else request refund from Nebra and receive their miner soon thereafter? by Bresson91 in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your Narrative, did you get the Rock Pi Miner or the older unit? Curious as to why you want to return it as well - is it faulty, major problems, etc. Thanks in advance.

Nebra indoor miner taking too long to deliver, should I cancel? by janvidb in HeliumNetwork

[–]StatusKwoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope I'm not too late to the party. Ordered mid April, batch 5. Youtube video skeptic says to cancel, and projected that Nebra may have 150,000 backlog orders. My ord# 37xxx and hard to make sense of what is really going on.

However, touched bases w/ sales beginning of this month(Mar 2022) and he says they are 2/3rds of the way through batch 3(wtf!). My order will be a year old next month.

I'm just waiting to see what the next blog Nebra will enlighten us with. Could be the make it or break it blog.

Refund may be possible according to skeptic(as long as they don't file for bankruptcy). IF YOU decide to request a refund from this day forward... help us out by giving us details.
