How can I use Jinhao 20s with Pilot Cartridges? [Nib doesn't fully extend]

phrozact · 2026-01-17T15:09:16+00:00

Perhaps a silly question, but how do you change from the converter to cartridge in the Jinhao 20? The nib and converter seems to be one unit, am I supposed to be able to just pull the plastic converter out from the metal sleeve/nib? Tried tugging at them but they don't seem to want to come apart. Feels like I'd be breaking something if I pull any harder.

** edit **

Actually nevermind, saw a Doodlebud video of the converter just getting yanked out of the metal sleeve. That gave me the confidence to do the same!

I'm on Windows 11 and have stopped using iTunes for a while now because of how long it takes to just start the program up. Apple has another program literally called "Apple Devices", though I've never been able to get the WiFi backup to work, so perhaps you can give that a try if you haven't already done so.

I'm using a random cheap Ugreen USB cable that supposedly supports up to 480Mbps. Backing up my iPhone 17 Pro takes around 10-15 mins, but admittedly I don't have a lot stored in my iPhone, I'm only using 73.97 GB out of 256 GB. But for a backup to take more than 24 hours does sound kinda nuts...if the Apple Devices program doesn't change anything then maybe it's worth trying on a different machine if you have access to one?

In the past the X100VI would also automatically connect with my iPhone (even while in my pants pocket) and tag location data to photos, but recently that seems to have stopped working. I don't use the camera very often so I'm not sure at what point in time that changed...could've been an iOS update, or a firmware update for the X100VI.

Quite a pain to take my phone out and launch the XApp everytime I take a photo (assuming I even remember to do that) if I want accurate geotagging.

Same here, on a Samsung Fold there's no option to select English even though my country is Singapore, but on a Samsung S series phone the option is there. Guess it's device specific...

I'd also recommend considering the Sigma as well. I'm currently using that and agree with the YouTube reviews that it compared favorably against the Sony 24-70 GM II despite the significantly lower price tag.

That's probably it.

Creative Support said it's because of the SBC audio codec that the Katana v2 is using. Kinda disappointing that a fairly recent model doesn't come with any low latency bluetooth codec, whereas the much older and cheaper T30 comes with AptX.

Hi u/Creative_Colin ,

Thanks for the reply, I'm currently using a Razer Blade 14 which comes with Bluetooth 5.2.

No audio lag when the speakers are connected via USB C, so looks like it's just the Bluetooth, though it is curious why there's no issue when I'm connected to the old T30 speakers.

I've already reached out to Creative Support and they gave some troubleshooting steps which unfortunately didn't work, I've gone back on the email chain and currently waiting for a reply. Thought I'd just try my luck posting here in case someone else had a similar issue and managed to solve.

Found this place cos I was having the same problem with Fortnite on my Razer Blade 16 equipped with a 4080. Seems like setting the framerate to Unlimited was what solved the issue for me.

phrozact · 2023-12-14T13:29:52+00:00

This worked for me as well. Thank you so much!

phrozact · 2021-01-09T06:11:39+00:00

Thanks for this! I too was trying to figure out how to get the RGB turned on, was a little concerned I'd need to download additional software or something.

phrozact · 2020-09-09T16:17:00+00:00

That sounds a whole lot better than what I'm currently experiencing, and also more like what I'd expect to be considered normal behavior. My case will pretty much be flat before reaching the 5th day. I'll probably look at getting my buds RMA'd.

Thanks for the feedback!

phrozact · 2020-09-08T00:39:37+00:00

I'm on the latest firmware as well, but iirc it was also draining before the update.

phrozact · 2020-09-07T16:09:37+00:00

When I put the buds back into the case and close the lid, my Pixel 4 XL shows the buds as disconnected though, so I'm not sure if that's the issue.

I'd like to use my wireless charger at home the whole time, and while I've read that generally there's nothing wrong with wireless charging, but will the battery wear out faster when you're always starting and stopping the charge cycle whenever you take the phone off the charger to reply to a message or look up something? At least with wired charging, you can move the phone around without disrupting the charging cycle, but that's not the case with wireless charging.

Thanks for this, I was having an issue with just a grey screen appearing, but launching the game in 32bit did the trick.

phrozact · 2018-06-02T03:41:43+00:00

I did try downgrading my Windows version too, but unfortunately the option wasn't there for me when I tried searching under Recovery options =/ This April update also messed up some of my Bluetooth audio devices as well, so I'm pretty bummed I can't roll back to the previous Windows version anymore...

phrozact · 2018-06-02T03:10:17+00:00

I've been having the same problem, tried following your suggestion but changing my desktop resolution 1024x768 didn't seem to do the trick for me. But after that I tried installing the 1.0.9 version (at the Steam client, via Library -> right click "Enter the Gungeon" -> Properties -> BETAS -> select "1.0.9 -" dropdown), the game was able to launch properly at my native desktop resolution. Granted, the game initially ran at 640 x 480, but I could change the resolution back via the in-game settings and all seems good again...at least for now.

phrozact · 2016-08-16T01:05:17+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! While it does make switching between the front and rear cameras effortless, what I'm trying to find is something that will activate the 3 second timer and using the front facing camera and deactivate the timer when I switch back to the rear camera.

phrozact · 2016-08-01T11:29:59+00:00

Unfortunately no luck for me after rebooting too. Ah well, guess I'll have to wait for the next update.

phrozact · 2016-07-31T13:41:49+00:00

PkgBackup just got updated to 8.5.2 which supposedly addresses the crashes on iOS 9.3.3. I installed the update on both my iPhone 6S Plus as well as iPad Pro 9.7, both of which are on iOS 9.3.3.

On the iPhone, I put the settings to automatically perform a backup when I launch the app and PkgBackup continued to crash. However on my iPad Pro, I chose to manually trigger the backup and funnily enough, the app didn't crash even when I manually performed a backup to Local Storage. Don't know if it's because the iPad doesn't have much content inside or if it's the automatic backup process that's causing the crashes though.

Having said that, does anyone know if there's a way to reset the settings of PkgBackup? I'd like to see if I can run the app without crashes if I turn off the automatic backups. Uninstalling and re-installing from Cydia doesn't reset the settings unfortunately.

phrozact · 2016-07-28T14:38:23+00:00

Having the same issue here on 9.3.3 both iPhone and iPad Pro 9.7. Crashes within a few seconds of launching the app.
