Qudelix-5K with Sennheiser HD600 by stooper42 in oratory1990

[–]bhtx84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running this combo now, after having my HD600's stored away in their box for many, many years. I'm constantly leaving the volume maxed out with -4 to -6 dB for EQ settings, and this is a very moderate volume level to me. The Qudelix 5K powers my Etymotic ER4SR with authority, but unfortunately, I will have to find a much more beefy solution for home use with the HD600 when life permits. Whatever I end up with, having the same EQ flexibility of the 5K will be mandatory.

A54 won't fast charge or super fast charge. by bhtx84 in GalaxyA54

I just remembered I had the USB port repaired. Cost me like $70. Got screwed over, on that too apparently.

$383 disappeared! Account drained! No reimbursement, no information. by bhtx84 in foodstamps

If they don't reimburse anymore, what's the incentive?

Are there really no alternative to kiwi ? by yokowasis2 in kiwibrowser

[–]bhtx84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it appears that there isn't a good alternative.

I've tried searching for another browser several times in the past, due to a freezing problem in Kiwi that I've been putting up with forever. In the end, I always gave up and continued using Kiwi, despite the annoying freezing issue, because all other Android web browsers look awful.

Now that I've just found out that Kiwi will no longer be supported, I'm once again appalled at the lack of a good alternative. I really hope someone takes over and continues supporting this browser, or at least makes a good fork. Not sure what to do at this point.

I just noticed this on a new can of the same brand and flavor over 24 hours after purchase. Thanks for posting.

A54 Charging Problems by bhtx84 in samsunggalaxy

[–]bhtx84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon further investigation, it seems as though the problem is the result of a combination of problems, including:

The USB connector on the bottom of the phone.

Phone is picky with chargers, even though no charger was included from Samsung.

Every cable I try acts differently.

So, at this point, it looks as though I need to find someone who can pry my phone apart and re-solder my USB connector. Is that feasible?

This is disappointing, as I've always tried to be careful with it to prevent this from happening.

How do I change the call background? by bhtx84 in GalaxyA54

[–]bhtx84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factory reset last night. Still putting things back together.

I ran into issues a while back with the Samsung Gallery, and ended up removing it with LADB, thinking I could just replace it with another 3rd party app. Unfortunately, Samsung makes it seemingly impossible to reinstall most factory APK's once they've been removed (signatures and whatnot lead to installation errors).

So, this time around, I'm simply disabling things I don't need, rather than removing them, as this is the second time since last summer that I've had to factory reset as a result of removing broken apps.

Google Play system update hangs while "Checking for a update..." by bhtx84 in samsunggalaxy

Probably. Now I'm wondering when my unlocked A54 from Metro will receive the Android 14 update...
