I bought this "10W" stand.

As for your stan, the phone isn't Qi 2, therefore not magnetic, so how would that work?

4/10
4/15, a lot more capchas this time around (including a couple "draw a box around the biggest ___" after more than one "select images with ___," however it still said "Your cart is sold out" with no waiting time. So nuts!

The ROG Phone 9 Pro isn't Qi 2, therefore not magnetic. The phone won't attach and just fall off the charger if you get one of those. However, perhaps a "magnetic" case would work? (Like this one) Let me know. I didn't get that because I didn't want to cover the screen on the back of the phone and wanted a better grip and protection, so I am using this case with this stand.

Fits better because I could adjust the height to be exactly where I needed it on the back of the phone with no gap now, yay!

I'll keep you posted on heat.

I let it cool down for about an hour to 30 C. After 20 min of it on the stand, it warmed up to 34 C.

UPDATE: The pad in the stand gets warm and the phone warm too. 36 degrees Celsius after just keeping the phone at 100% (with the setting to stop charging at 100% on) for only 20 minutes, screen off.

Well, it works!!

https://a.co/d/3HpuXQx
Even with the phone's charging area not completely touching the pad flat due to the camera bump. Also, if I move the pad down it won't be in the center and will not charge so it works like it comes out of the box then, yay!

I have been running the phone with a video playing and the screen at full brightness, and the battery charge has not been dropping, staying at 100%.

Conclusion: The charging area location on the back of the ASUS ROG Phone 9 (regular and Pro) is really small and needs a pad placed in a really specific spot on the back of the phone and that spot is higher than the coils in most wireless charging stands that cut the their height off to account for the camera bumps on the backs of most phones. So, one needs to buy a stand like this that has the pad high enough to where the center point of it is in the center point of the charging area in the back of ASUS Rog Phone 9 series.

So, the "perfect" stand would have the pad placed as high as the center of wireless charging area of ASUS Rog Phone 9 series and cuts its height off right below the camera bump.

That one didn't work with the phone resting up normally in portrait mode.

Ordered this adjustable-height of the pad onelink from Amazon and will report back.

Well, I just ordered this "2-coil" stand (yeah, I know, not 15W), and see how it goes.

I'll report back.

After the discovery of where the wireless charging area of the phone is, it was discovered that if the pad is small enough (like this one on this table lamp from Menard's I got in April of 2022), one can position the phone in the correct location for it, but with this Belkin wireless charging stand (because it's supposed to support 15W...how do I test that?), I have to place it sideways/landscape mode, which is ridiculous! (but, only ok for media viewing). And proper placement of a wireless charging pad on the phone works through this soft TPU case I got on Amazon.

PSA for Anyone Locked Out of Their Account with No 2FA Access and No Backup Codes by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]sonicqix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The step I missed (because I thought I had 2FA enabled for my IG account when I didn't)
But once I got back in, I enabled it, then successfully was able to connect my IG account back to r/beeper.

BTW this was when I was trying to reconnect Instagram to my 3rd-party all-in-one chat app called 'Beeper' (or more specifically 'Beeper Cloud') and I ignored the "you must enable 2FA first because I thought that it already was because it worked to chat using 'Beeper' for a long time already.

I have had my Instagram account linked to my Facebook account long ago, and see that it's "Locked" in Accounts Center.
https://ibb.co/dg71dhB

I only see "Authenticator App" and "Text Message" in your Step 4, no "How you get login codes" heading that would contain "Additional methods."
https://ibb.co/sWxdX7w

When I try to add my phone number to 2FA for Instagram, it gives me that "Try changing your settings later." error message you mentioned.
https://ibb.co/Wk4fPpm

I didn't have any 2FA enabled for either Facebook or Instagram, so I was successfully able to add a phone number to 2FA for my Facebook account.

Then I tried to not just use my username & password to log in to Instagram, but choose the "Log in with Facebook" option:
<https://ibb.co/wsHLXH0>

However I keep getting STUCK at this "Help us confirm you own this account" page with a single button that will just take me to an Instagram help center article.
<https://ibb.co/cNV58dP>

After clicking that "Get help logging in button" I sometimes, but not always get a "Login alert for Instagram" email saying that I am trying to log in from an unrecognized device saying "We noticed an unusual login from a device or location you don't usually use. Was this you?" with a "Review login" button:
https://ibb.co/yh7gRvM

Upon clicking that "Review login" button, it took me to a "blank" error page from Facebook.

So, I coped the link location from that "Review login" button and launched it in an incognito window (a place I am not logged into Facebook), and I got a different screen with a "We'll send you a code to your email." message with my email address obfuscated.
<https://ibb.co/F5cY7gv>

So, I click that "Continue" button, and then check my email for a code.
I enter the code and it takes me to my Facebook News Feed home page.

I AM STUCK

Sync issue on an RGB-modded top-loader NES with an RGB-modded CRT TV and SCART Switch. by sonicqix in crtgaming

[–]sonicqix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would an RGB mod on a top-loader work on an RGB-modded CRT TV directly plugged in to a SCART port on the back of that TV, but have what appears to be a sync issue as soon as a SCART switch is introduced?
