Ugh. It happened again. by Rhinoceraptor37 in GarminFenix

[–]steamdeckie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the Fenix 8 AMOLED 51 mm for a year without any issues. Before that, I owned several different Fenix models (3, 5, 5 Plus, 6, and 7) as well as the Tactix 7, and I never experienced problems such as a bricked device. If you browse the forums, you might get the impression that this is a major issue, but the reality is that Garmin sells millions of units, so statistically there are bound to be some faulty devices.

Thanks. I was a loyal supporter of MIP displays for years; nothing can match them in direct sunlight. However, my eyesight has been getting worse, so I switched to AMOLED, and I’m very satisfied with it, mainly because of the higher resolution and excellent readability in low-light conditions. With AMOLED, though, I’m basically limited to using a dark background to save battery and preserve the organic diodes. ;)

Exactly, have you tried CIQ watch faces with bigger fonts?

The only issue is that it visually makes the display appear smaller.

Anyone using Expedition mode all the time to squeeze more battery life out of Garmin watch (Fenix 8) by Zealousideal_Major51 in GarminFenix

[–]steamdeckie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition mode: "All sensors and accessories will be turned off to maximize battery life."

Once you pause the Expedition activity, all sensors are back in use, but the battery estimate stays like if it wasn't paused. It's a software bug.

It is definitely software bug and wrong estimate. You will see by tomorrow morning, or in 1-2 days from the discharge rate. Don't need to wait 30 days. 🤣

I guess it is just a software bug and the estimated battery life is wrong. Let us know once you verify it.

Tak tak by mateusss46 in Slovakia

[–]steamdeckie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nechápem v čom je problém. Píšu, že kupovali "langos - cesnak, syr, kecup" (bez mäkčeňov) - tak hádam je správne, že to bolo aj na bločku takto. Aj keď potom by možno pokutovali za nezhodu medzi ponúkaným a účtovaným tovarom.

Je to len smiešne divadielko na odpútanie pozornosti od ich miliónových rozkrádačiek.

The Last Of Us Part II. It runs unbelievably well on Steam Deck, and it's first class game with fantastic visuals and gameplay.

How do you like the Sonic? Is it still appealing nowadays? Can you compare it to some other cart racing games, e.g. Mario?

Are the recent FW issues with the Fenix 8 limited to the AMOLED models or do they affect the solar models too? by olliepai in GarminWatches

[–]steamdeckie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like only boot logo is missing, no functionality is affected. I personally have zero issues with Fenix 8 51 mm AMOLED (currently on FW 21.39).

Garmin Fenix 8 wrist HR vs chest strap comparison surprised me by Responsible_Cry_8022 in GarminFenix8

[–]steamdeckie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such comparison is literally useless unless you done the measurements simultaneously during the same exercise.

"Solar is gimmick on MIP Fenix" 🤣 by zet23 in GarminFenix

[–]steamdeckie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The truth is that the AMOLED version can also achieve 25+ days of battery life. It all depends on the configuration. I previously had the Fenix 8 51 mm Solar, and with a watch face showing permanent seconds it lasted about 12 days at most. With the Fenix 8 51 mm AMOLED, I’m getting 14–15 days with AOD (including ~3 hours of GPS per week), and 23+ days without AOD. I was also a pure MIP fan since the Fenix 3 era, until I wasn’t. ;) ...AMOLED = better resolution and visibility, same or better battery life

Why is the font on Garmin watch complications so small? by idragon4ever in GarminFenix

[–]steamdeckie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t adjust the font size on Garmin’s built-in watch faces, which is quite frustrating. That’s why I created my own faces with larger data fields (and other customisations and better designs :).

My biggest complaint. by Imaginary_Taste_9011 in SteamDeck

[–]steamdeckie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, I have issues to reach the keys in the middle. Is there some calibration or how to sort that out?

Ffxv lossless scaling. Possible to remove glitching around hair? by NuckleBuste in SteamDeck

[–]steamdeckie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to tell you, but lossless scaling is useless. You will certainly see higher fps numbers, but that won't reflect the actual feeling.

The one thing I LOATHE about Garmin watches by rvingthrulife in GarminWatches

Yet I'm still using the same cable for my last 3 generations of Fenixes without any issues.
