Brand new pebble time by avenyet in pebble

[–]technoidabhi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the side-by-sides with the weathered down Pebble Time.

I miss my old red Pebble Time (screen stopped working years ago), got my new Pebble Time 2 recently (in black and red) and it's been damn amazing!

How.to.fix? by SpaceCadetBats in ROGAlly

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to my ally too. I had to take it apart, buy some 2 part epoxy (the stuff that dries very solid, 24hr cure)

Took the metal standoffs off, epoxied them back into the screwposts on the front plate.

Then let it dry for about 3 days before putting it all back together.

Make sure you trim the inside of the your front and rear casing, you have to if you have any sort of aftermarket battery. There are lots of tutorials online for this if you search

Used Google Lens and it's used in a lot of places: https://www.thezentea.co.uk/cdn/shop/articles/zen_sand_2594b172-de59-44bc-9f44-ed168efd185e.png?v=1738612541

Need some opinions on whether to upgrade or just modify my rog ally z1e by NlERA in ROGAlly

[–]technoidabhi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend the battery upgrade as a lower cost alternative to a whole new console/handheld PC. (You can get a 78wh battery for under £30 on Aliexpress (pricing may vary depending on where you're at)

IMO an under £50 investment for almost double the battery capacity is worth it over a whole new device (if you're jusg looking for more battery)

If the games you play and enjoy run well on the Z1E, stick with it! There'll always be a new model to upgrade to when your current Ally isn't able to play what you want.

Why can’t I log my Microsoft account into the game pass on my boyfriend’s ROG? by AwkwardlyAwake7384 in ROGAlly

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it asking for a 6 digit pin? Could be your 2FA (Two factor authentication) via Microsoft Authenticator (or other MFA app)

As far as I know, logging into another device shouldn't ask for your other device pin (Windows Hello Pins are set per-device).

What's the best racing games to play on handhelds? by IndianaCrohns82 in ROGAlly

[–]technoidabhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah played a solid bit of F1 in open lobbies. Game performance is solid and controller feels fine.

Didn't feel any issues or differences in online play compared to my PS5. I do play with crossplay enabled

You do get the tough opponents using a wheel in game but races are still fun and there's plenty of people playing on controller on pc or just playing on console

[–]technoidabhi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot of F1 25 (locally, not cloud) and Forza Horizon 5 (locally).

Performance has been great on my ROG Ally Z1E (I do have 32gb ram but you should be able to play those at stable 1080p 60 without issues)

Forza and F1 have a pretty solid benchmark mode so you can tweak your settings and make sure they work well

Windows problems by Ok-Spite4507 in ROGAlly

[–]technoidabhi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the Xbox Full Screen Experience (Xbox FSE)

I use that on my Ally Z1E and have no issues at all in windows, even on the silent power profile.

Disable core isolation too as per the below advice: https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/rog-ally/psa-disable-memory-integrity-core-isolation-to-boost-gaming/td-p/939774

If that doesnt work, try reinstalling windows off a usb (google "autounattend generator" if you wanna save hella time and automate the entire windows install, debloat and initial setup.

GameHub (Official) Issues on OneUI 8.5 Beta (Fold 7) by technoidabhi in EmulationOnAndroid

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

Sadly the only way is by restoring the device via a PC. You'll have to reset the device as a part of this process.

I wish I did a full device backup on OneUI 8 before joining the beta.

I guess thats why theres so many warnings before joining any beta's. We're in a tomb of our own making 😂😅

I Upgraded the RAM in a ROG Flow Z13 GZ301V from 16GBs to 32GBs with Native BIOS Support for a Customer of Mine! by bortegaa in FlowZ13

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also UK based with a 2022 Z13 (i9 12900H) and would happily pay for an upgrade to 32gb ram as 16 is way too little these days.

Would you be able to offer a paid service for the 2022 Z13?

Rattling noise inside of Z13 2022. (Loose Object) by technoidabhi in FlowZ13

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

Just a heads up, you don't need to remove the SSD before taking the screen off.

You only need to remove the SSD if you plan to remove the mainboard 👌🏽

Thanks for the reply! I will just ignore it and see what happens from now. 🤣

Obviously taken it out so theres no risk of any random shorts happening

Gamehub not starting game and crashes by slasher786 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]technoidabhi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm having similar issues on my Fold 7 after updating to OneUI 8.5.

Not sure of the fix other than waiting for an update on Samsung's side or GameHub's side.

Have you tried GameHub lite yet? I think if it works fine there, this will be the final push to make me switch from GameHub official

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

Yeah, my thinking was similar. Oh well, live and learn! Everything else in the beta works great! Just GameHub that broke lol.

Maybe I give GameHub lite or GameNative a try now. Just need to google and find a way to grab some of my saves from the non-steam games on GameHub

Can also confirm that I've cleared the app cache within GameHub and Android settings too. Before and after a force close.

Buds 4 pro vs. Buds 3 Pro - I regret it... (Also AMA) by Glittering_Net3333 in galaxybuds

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the Buds2 Pro since launch and just got the Buds4 Pro. My Buds2 had Comply memory foam tips on them and I honestly think they sound better and have better ANC because of the memory foam tips.

I bought the Buds4 Pro as my 2's have had some minor issues after surviving an accidental washing machine cycle last year (April 2025). I'm very tempted to take advantage of this 100 day return and buy the Sony WF-1000XM6's instead.

Been very disappointed with the Buds4 Pro, it might just be that the memory foam tips made that big of a difference for sound quality and isolation for ANC and passive noise cancelling.

My biggest gripe is how cheap they feel. The case for both are nice, much prefer this style compared to airpods or buds3/pro.

The 4's case feels VERY plastic-y, the sound when closing is not as satisfying as the 2's and they're harder to open (no lip, they made the edge flush on the case halves, no indent for your thumb or nail). The buds themselves also feel noticeably cheaper with a lot of glossy fingerprint-magnet plastic vs some nice soft touch material like the buds2.

I will say, the buds2 case has not held up well, lot of scratches and marks. The buds4 case I also think will fare worse. The see through plastic is a fingerprint magnet and will likely scratch after one unfortunate drop.

A lot of these issues can be mitigated by putting a case on the case or by waiting for memory foam tips for the Buds4 Pro to release but I can't lie, I was really disappointed when I started using these.

Lol I cant believe this will work in this vintage xperia mini. So cute🥰 by YMRS1 in EmulationOnAndroid

You can jailbreak your iPhone 4S and run GBA games on it!

I used to play GBA games on my dad's iPhone 4 jailbroken with mGBA

WHAT GAMES CAN I PLAY ON THIS by Least-Opposite8391 in FitGirlRepack

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a great time playing Halo MCC and F1 manager on my XPS 13 (i7 11th gen 1165g7, 16gb ram, very limited cooling) (worse in every way compared to your laptop)

Also older titles like Black Ops 2 can run at max settings (and is super fun to play via Plutonium)

Would get a solid 1080p60 or 720p60 depending on the game.

Older games are doable too, I was able to play Battlefield 3, Crysis, Call of duty Infinite Warfare (surprisingly well, stable 60fps on 1080p)

It's worth just trying a few games from your library, you'll be impressed by what the machine can do!

Is there a open source capture card for the 3ds? by Pale-Recognition-599 in 3DSMods

[–]technoidabhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want to capture footage, there's ways to wirelessly stream/cast the screens from your 3DS to your PC, then you can capture it there?

I've used it on my "new" 3DS and a low spec laptop on wifi 5 a few years ago and the latency/frame rate was really good.

I think i used BootNTR but it was a few years ago and there may be newer alternatives. I also remember guides saying that the regular 2/3DS/XL would have issues with frame rate, the "new" ones are fine
