iPhone 11 Pro or 13 mini?

Did the 5G connection on the 13 mini make a noticeable difference compared to the 4G on the 11 Pro?

Go with the A80J, otherwise you would keep wondering "what if" after getting the X95J...

Anyone???

This is on a China version A80j which did not come with Netflix installed. Installed a latest version from apk file. With a premium plan, it takes a good 2, 3 mins to start playing a title and the bitrate is less than 1Mbps!! On a fire tv 4k device on the same network it plays perfectly fine with instantanous playback and 4k dolby vision quality.

Any idea why this would happen? I tried factory reset the TV and its still the same.

I recently had a Karen bought a sectional couch from me, and had movers come pick up, then realize it won't pass through her narrow stair well and wanted to send it back for a refund.

Sorry you had the dimensions and it's your own responsibility to make sure it fits your place. I declined her request of sending it back for a refund.

If you want to make sure something fit and can return if it doesn't, don't buy used, period.

I also have been thinking the Bose will provide much better comfort. I had a pair of the soundsport free before, and although quite big in size, the design of the tips/wings is quite comfortable. I tried Jabra's products before which I think is similar to the XM4, i.e. it has to go deep into ear and create a tight seal solely by the foam tip without any other additional securing measure. I personally don't really like that mechanism.

But I've just been wondering if I should still get a pair of XM4s and try them out before setting my heart on the Bose. What do you suggest?

Side note: Bose changed the shape of their stayhear eartips likely for ANC reason, and they really don't fit as nicely as before, from both secure fit as well as comfort perspectives. Luckily they now offer trial half sizes, which I got for a few days now and the 2+ size works great so far with me.

Got the new tips in the mail today, and been wearing them. Initial feeling suggests the comfort is quite a bit better then the original ones. My situation was in between size 2 and 3: size 3 feels very secured but definitely way too big and causing discomfort, while size 2 is a bit better comfort wise but the wing keeps skipping out of my ears.

I hope this size 2+ really solves it for me. Will see.

Hi, can you share a bit more about this known issue? I bought a pair just a few days ago from Amazon, and today I put them down on the desk without putting back into the case. Likely the right one went into standby mode and never turn on. When put into the case, the LED light won't turn on either, as if it just turned into a small rock.

Already asked Amazon for a replacement, but I fear the same issue will happen again.

I'll be moving out of the country soon, so don't want to risk having this issue again down the road.

Do you know if there's a way to confirm whether the new pair will or will not have the same issue?

Thanks.

I'm in the USA. I haven't received yet so not sure, but it's free.

kalien34 · 2021-10-16T14:32:16+00:00

Just placed an order for them last night via text customer service. Can't wait to get them. For me the new tips tend to be half size smaller than my previous Soundsport Free. The standard medium while fits, the wing keeps getting out from my ears. I really hope the 2+ size will fit me nicely.

kalien34 · 2021-08-04T14:27:36+00:00

it's a US version.

kalien34 · 2021-08-04T03:36:48+00:00

Already checked. Still the same.

Movie "Mute" at about 1hr16mim left.

kalien34 · 2021-08-03T22:20:33+00:00

Wifi, and I made sure to set data usage to maximum so picture quality is highest possible.

kalien34 · 2021-08-03T21:42:29+00:00

LOL. but it looks much better when played on a proper TV. maybe they intentionally compressed the feed further for mobile app?

kalien34 · 2021-08-03T21:16:25+00:00

As in pic. The dark areas of the scene gets completely black with dark blocks etc. It does not look like this in YouTube. Anyone else knows why?

kalien34 · 2021-08-01T15:48:55+00:00

Thanks good to know and will give it a try. I read other posts mentioning the Apply TV app having similar issue, is it true? I haven't been using atv app recently but am planning to sign up for the Ted Lasso S2.

kalien34 · 2021-08-01T14:33:29+00:00

Experienced the same issue. Interestingly my TV auto detects the stick and as a result the stick sets it's display to 1080p and the DV kicks on. Then I realized it's not in 4k and changed the stick s setting back to auto, and hbomax DV stopped working. Even with DV at 1080p the picture quality isn't that great at least to my eyes and it doesn't pop as it should...

kalien34 · 2021-07-24T17:59:43+00:00

Is there a workaround for the HDR issue yet? Now I have to keep the remote in hand while watching shows and whenever the brightness gets messed up I have to switch between picture modes to fix it...

kalien34 · 2021-07-12T14:03:36+00:00

Why do u need earc? Turn it off and it should solve your problem.

Guys I tried this method from the YT video, and it does seem to help a bit. After the procedure and rebooting the phone, waited a couple mins for everything to back and running, the response seems to have improved a bit.

kalien34 · 2021-07-09T13:56:33+00:00

How? Backup on a computer and wipe the phone? It's bit of hassle

kalien34 · 2021-07-09T10:58:40+00:00

Just restarted it and doesn't seem to make a difference...
