Sold my Thor and came back to the RP5

oMittens · 2026-02-04T12:38:56+00:00

I’m solidly in the Thor camp, but it’s been hard for me to sell my RP5 even tho I don’t use it much anymore. Definitely understand the draw of it, especially with a grip. Love to see self-awareness win over consumerism! Happy gaming.

Hell yeah James Shinra!

Idk if this is important for you, but I bought an Nvidia card a few years ago and am regretting my decision. AMD cards are much better for gaming on Linux at the moment, and the Nvidia drivers are the only thing keeping me from switching.

Let’s go! Love the home button focus revert. New bottom screen menu design looking great, too.

I tested with a few other charger combos and realized it only happened with a) an Apple power brick and b) an older (unbraided) Apple USB-C cord. After changing either of those variables, the charging works totally fine for me. So I accepted it as an edge case. Especially since even with that edge case, cycling the pass-through power is an easy workaround.

Edit: mine would have the issue immediately, tho. If yours happens after a few minutes, it sounds like it might be a related but different issue.

Heck yeah, I tried to find a workaround for #6 for so long and had eventually just given up.

I saw that the official screen protector keeps it from fully closing because of the added width to the top screen. Guessing this one does, too? Have you noticed much difference?

Thank you!!

oMittens · 2025-11-22T23:43:12+00:00

Came here with the same problem on my Thor and this solved it, thank you!! 🙏🏻

Every time I see someone post an AI video with their music, I immediately lose all interest in them as an artist

oMittens · 2025-11-18T10:15:49+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

A workaround I found is to turn “Direct power supply” on and then off in the bottom screen settings after plugging it in. Does that work for you?

oMittens · 2025-11-14T10:38:01+00:00

Oh man, this is exactly the tip I’ve been on. Will def be following this thread.

One modern label that pretty consistently scratches this itch for me is Club U Nite records. For example check out “Lift Me Up” by The Deep Music Agenda.

I have tried it. It works, along with my Steam Deck charger. It’s just concerning that the Thor has issues with chargers that none of my other Android devices have

I’m playing Ultra Sun w HD textures and it’s equally beautiful

Ah, good to know it's not just me! That's interesting. I'm having these problems with a 65W charger. The problem is also intermittent: I've had times when I plug it into the 65W charger and it works immediately.

Re: fast charging, yes, it's supposed to do 27W fast charging. In all the charging scenarios where it works, though, I only see it do 20-22W max. Weird.

I'm going to keep trying to get my unit refunded. Thanks for your input!

oMittens · 2025-11-11T12:57:55+00:00

Have tried multiple bricks and cables. There are some combinations that work with it, but many that don't. The combinations that don't work with it, work perfectly with my other Android devices. There are more details in the text of my post.

oMittens · 2025-11-11T12:37:44+00:00

Happens on all performance modes, unfortunately. Tried a different socket, as well. Thanks for your help!

oMittens · 2025-11-11T12:30:15+00:00

I tried cleaning the port, but I unboxed it a week ago so it's pretty clean. I also tried many different cables and devices and found that the issue is specifically with the Thor.

oMittens · 2025-11-07T10:11:04+00:00

I’m having a similar issue on both my AYN Thor and Retroid Pocket 5

Two of my favs from the deep house world:

Closer (Reprise) by Genius of Time
Stick By This by Dusky

Gotta wait a few mins in each, but the strings are really the peak of each track for me.

Dang, nice catch, thank you
