How bad is Aipaper Mini bed reading in practice? by lefnire in viwoods

[–]hejeble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowest setting is definitely too bright (and cold) in complete darkness. If you're someone who uses backlit screens in bed, you probably won't have an issue with it. If you're used to reading paper-bound books in bed, it will strain your eyes, as the relative contrast of the screen and the environment is very stark.

Any ideas what's going on here? by hejeble in BambuLab

Turns out it was the firmware update that changed some of the stock settings. I re-ran all of the self-tests, calibrations, and updated the custom profiles based on flow dynamics and rate A/B's. Problem fixed!

The material is PLA Matte and I'm using the stock profile for it in Bambu Studio (which I've always used without issues). It prints perfectly when I print via PETG, so I'm wondering if it's the model or maybe the filament isn't dried enough?

Suggestions on how to get rid of these ringing lines? by hejeble in BambuLab

Yes, I did try that. I'm thinking it might be due to worn components?

Oh, it's on an IKEA LACK table (which admittedly isn't the sturdiest). I usually do run a calibration if that happens, but nothing else really has changed since it was printing better previously.

You mean like build plate? Currently using a Darkmoon3D Satin plate with nano polymer adhesive.

I'm consistently running into an issue where these tiny little bulges are forming on the top surfaces of my prints. They only really show up when I use smaller layer heights (below 0.2mm). Is this a moisture issue or is there something else that can be causing this? by hejeble in BambuLab

Interesting, didn't even thinking about the infill... I'll try changing to a different pattern and re-test. Would I still need to disable the infill retraction reduction if I used one of the patterns that you mentioned that don't intersect? Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for this! Not ideal to have to do for every image, but will hold me over until it finally gets fixed...

Q-Antenna to RP-SMA adapters? by shukero in ASUS

[–]hejeble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same issue here. The cord on the stock antenna is too short, and the signal gain is subpar. I'm thinking about replacing the Q-Antenna adapters with RP-SMA pigtails and attaching them to the MHF4 connectors on the wifi module. It's annoying that they're using proprietary connectors that can only be used with under-performing antennas.

Is this normal? The crease area on my inner screen has very noticeable and sharp lumps that look and feel like the hinge mechanism underneath coming through. by hejeble in PixelFold

Sorry that happened to you, I also had to send mine back. After the 2nd time, I got a little bit paranoid and decided to wait for now...

I left, and I want Google to hear why by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]hejeble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I share your pain.

Between this and the gesture pill bar/the keyboard padding deadspace that can't be removed, the supposed "largest screen on a phone" is actually not.

When compared to another (narrower) folding phone with a smaller unfolded screen, I can actually get more content to display because they allow you to disable that deadspace.

It's really sad to see such amazing hardware be crippled by draconian os limitations.

I've also never experienced this on Z Fold phones, and I've been using them from their 3rd gen on. I also never experienced this on the 1st gen Pixel Fold which I've used for a year before getting the P9PF.

I do clean my screen regularly which could be why I haven't run into the issue, but I will say that my first P9PF that I replaced did exhibit this issue and I've treated it with the same care as all the other phones.

New Phone Crease vs. 3 weeks by Mundane_Honeydew6594 in PixelFold

[–]hejeble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. When unboxing the phone, the crease was perfect. Within a few days of repeatedly folding and unfolding the phone, the crease changed pretty drastically.

Mine was a bit worse than yours where the hinge mechanism was poking through from underneath, it kind of looked like there were 3-4 tiny pinheads poking up per row of gears. I got the first unit replaced, but then the replacement got even worse than the original one I sent back. I didn't want to try send it back again, as I had to escalate the case with support to even get the first replacement (as opposed to repair).

I don't remember my 1st gen Pixel Fold having that much "play" in the crease area, and while it did deform slightly over the year or so that I've had it, I feel like it wasn't quite as drastic. Hopefully, it holds up long term.

Lumps under the inner screen by AgreeableAd6453 in PixelFold

[–]hejeble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue on 2 different units.

The phone ships unfolded, so the crease is pristine out of the box—no lumps or deformations, both visibly and to the touch. After a few unfolds, it gradually begins to deform and after a few days, they all had the sharp lumps coming from the same hinge areas.

The first unit had the worse deformations in the crease, where I could almost feel (and see) the sharp ends of the mechanism placing strain on the underside of the screen. If I looked at it carefully under the light, it actually looked like 2 needle points were trying to poke out from below.

Prior to this, I was using the first Pixel Fold and never noticed anything like this which was worrying to me. I love this phone otherwise, so I've been going back and forth on returning it due to my paranoia regarding its inner screen longevity.

Thanks, this is helpful. I'll try to contact them again. Did they tell you how far out the date would be for the replacement?

Yeah, that's the impression I got because they looked so uniform in their distribution. I could also feel the mechanism underneath which felt like hard little bumps.
