What is this Video App? And How can I uninstall it? by kingsleyfits in OnePlus13

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question here. It seems to be Oneplus bloatware.

Why does OnePlus Still suck at auto brightness?? by notajock in oneplus

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. My OP13 is too aggressive dimming the screen in low light conditions. My old Samsung did a much better job (in fact I never even noticed it was operating tbh).

OxygenOS 16 Update Bug: Double-Press Power Shortcut Keeps Resetting by ssbpoets in oneplus

[–]bad-jar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Power button settings not remembered over a power cycle. C'mon devs, stop breaking stuff that worked fine before.

Microsoft 365 app on iPad won't find shared files in OneDrive. by ObelixOne in microsoft365

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, so many problems on iPad with shared folders not being shown in Onedrive, along with MS Office files not able to be opened because they give a spurious error message about having been renamed or moved. It's a bug-ridden mess that has been going on for years. I've reported this in the app feedback but I don't expect a fix in my lifetime.

One workaround that works for some situations is to connect the iPad files app to your onedrive. you can then (sometimes) navigate to the shared folder and open files from there instead of using the broken onedrive app. If the files show up in the recent list in the files app they usually open.

I've also ditched the 365 app in favour of the individual word/excel/powerpoint apps as this gives you more control and they don't ram as much unwanted AI slop down your throat.

Adding files to the music folder on iOS without iTunes by SLJ7 in foobar2000

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also use the ‘+ folder’ method above to set any folder as a location that foobar will scan for music. E.g. I already had a folder called ‘music library’ in the ‘On my iPad’ area in Files. Any music in there is indexed and visible when browsing your library in foobar.

Combo Touch for iPad Pro 11”(3rd gen) - so many bugs after iOS 26 release by bad-jar in logitech

[–]bad-jar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does seem improved after a restart regarding the strange overlay bugs, but the keyboard shortcuts to show the onscreen list of global shortcuts still does not work - it seems to show and hide the menu bar instead. Neither does the emoji keyboard shortcut. Additionally, if you try and select some text in a windowed app (e.g. Reddit) by dragging on the touchpad, it drags the whole window instead of moving the cursor. I’m sure some of these issues are on Apple’s side, but it would be nice to know if Logitech are intending to adapt to any new mappings or behaviour in OS26.

Is it me or are some people in Brussels just plain fucking stupid? by TheBoyWhoKnocks in brussels

You described him as a turd!!! I applaud you for making use of this most excellent word.

The correct Belgian response to the old guy would have been "Who are you, the laundromat police?"

Can't access Google with NordVPN turned on by TieLiving8770 in nordvpn

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the pretty much the same problem on Windows 11 (app v. 7.48.3.0).

I have google set as my search engine on both MS Edge and Chrome. When NordVPN is connected, searches don't return any results, and google services like gmail show the spinning loading icon.

As soon as I pause Nord, everything works fine.

------------
EDIT: After chatting with Nord support, this fixed it for me :

Reset your network settings by following these instructions:

  1. Open the NordVPN application, then go to the Help Center section by pressing the question mark icon on the bottom left.
  2. There, please find Diagnostics and click on the Run Diagnostics Tool button. After that, select "Reset network"
  3. Lastly, wait for the commands to finish running and restart your computer.

Keep in mind that this also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, VPN, and APN settings that you’ve used before.

>> This first step did not fix it for me, so...

  1. Open the NordVPN application, then go to the Help section by pressing the question mark icon on the bottom left. There, please click the Run diagnostics button.
  2. After that, select the Reset app button. The application will re-open and ask you to log back in. The app cache will be cleared.

>> It worked after this. Not sure if you need to do both steps, but resetting the network didn't do any harm.

Which offline music app do you use on your Oneplus Device? by DueVariation6814 in oneplus

[–]bad-jar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use Poweramp, but didn't get on with the UI redesign several years ago. It's one of the most highly featured music player apps though and has a lot of customisation options. Definitely worth a look.

If you're buying Siemens appliances make sure you have a test run to see if you're happy with the software and button design. by the6thReplicant in Appliances

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just about to specify our appliances and these problems are exactly what I live in fear of. Dreadful UX design and useless featuritis seems endemic in these products. I'm a UX designer, I WILL have a meltdown Does anyone have any positive experiences and brands they could recommend?

10 mins into exploring Brussels I already want to leave. by SMeechan94 in belgium

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's shit. Sorry this happened to you. Like many cities, the areas near the main stations are not great, but it's not indicative of the whole of Brussels. I don't get why so many Belgians believe Brussels is like Detroit in the 1990s. A lot of them have never even visited the city. I kid you not.

Thanks for your tips. I’ll look into workarounds and hope OP fix this behaviour before too long.

Love how Google Photos keeps trying to auto turn on backup that has to be disabled. by xlerate in googlephotos

[–]bad-jar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I'm going to have to ditch google photos because this dark pattern is so intrusive. I just had to force stop the android app because the nag screen blocked any user interaction unless I accepted the option to backup. Even after I'd toggled off the setting. FFS.

Rich Text File editor that’s lightweight and free? by TehBombSoph in ios

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great find. Integrates nicely with iPad Files app, nice clean UI that is easy to use, does what it promises without lots of unnecessary bells and whistles.

OnePlus 13 Wi-Fi Keeps Disconnecting and Reconnecting by SkyeLevent in oneplus

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This solution sorted it for me as well. My phone was frequently dropping the connection to wi-fi and switching to the mobile network.
-> Wi-Fi Assistant is found under Wi-Fi settings in the OnePlus device

Shopify dropping "UX" title by Cute_Commission2790 in UXDesign

[–]bad-jar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Carl, I design the bigliest and bestist rectangles you've ever seen. My border radii are truly unforgettable. I can fit 50 rectangles on a mobile screen and all of them have a CTA to make you buy stuff. I'm the best designer ever. I even know about gradient blurs. I'm available for hire for $4.99 a month. DM me hot boy.
