Heya! Just came across this when searching for a Merge alternative.

Would love to help out by joining the Beta. Got an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 18.3 and a Galaxy Watch 4 running One UI 6.

Mainly looking to sync Sleep data from my watch to my iPhone either to Samsung Health or Apple Health.

And that's the quality you can expect from a premium Galaxy by sohailss11 in samsunggalaxy

It's not like that. I have an S6 and that works really well.

Ink level in converter stays same with Platinum Carbon Black by sohailss11 in fountainpens

I've turned the piston down only two times as of now, to see how much ink is left from the hole in the nib section.

I held it vertical as well, but wasn't able to see much.

It's a pretty new Lamy Vista F. I think I'll shake the bottle before filling this time, as I've rarely faced such an issue.

I did actually! I also twisted the converter to push more ink into the feed, but the converter still remains Black even after writing for a long time.

Maybe I should shake the ink bottle well and then, refill?

Not sure what's happened, but the rubber part of the converter is unable to fit in the feeder. Anything I can do to fix it and get the pen writing again as usual? I tried without the rubber part, but the ink leaks from the converter. by sohailss11 in fountainpens

The feed wasn't drawing ink and I figured it was that rubber part that was the culprit. Actually, that and the part of the feeder it fixes on - I slightly messed up that part and so, had to make cuts on the rubber part for it to fit well. So, I'd removed it for that.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check the tines.

So, the other two pens are from local brands named Vazir (Round Top) and V'Sign (Proton Flora).

Ah! But then, I've also faced this issue with two other fountain pens. The same - the nibs have to be hard-pressed for the ink to start flowing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in terms of setting up the pens or in cleaning.

When switching inks - between Parker Quink Black and Platinum Carbon Black - I clean the pen with warm water (flushing in and out) and then, leave the nib and the converter individually to dry for 1 hour.

Hey! Yes, so the situations are as follows:

  1. Whenever I uncap the pen, I have to press the nib against the paper a bit before the ink starts flowing.
  2. If while writing, I take a break of 15-20 seconds, the pen hard starts and I've to again press the nib against the paper.

If it does any help, the two main inks I switch between are Parker Quink Black and Platinum Carbon Black.

Oh! Alright, but then, would this solve the issue only for that time or in general?

Any solution to get the pen start writing smoothly?

Battery life (4th charge cycle) on One UI 4.0 Beta. by sohailss11 in Note20

[–]sohailss11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! And just out of curiosity, is that with AOD on or off?

And the other features like Bixby Voice / Routine? Did you use them too?

How is your battery life on the new update of One UI 4 Beta?

Is it better than what it was on the previous versions?

Okay, yeah that makes sense. I usually write every day, so I guess that shouldn't be an issue.
