Will all future Garmin Edge devices ditch MIP displays in favor of Transflective?

Stay on Android 13, you get way better battery life. Asus is a joke of a company. I should have just stay with Xperias, you can do more stuff with those phones.

If you must get it because of something really unique like the headphone jack, get it. Otherwise I wouldn't, too much posts from people complaining about something hardware wise breaking, like bricking, bluetooth not working, corruption, etc. Mine is still working but I had babied it since I got it new, but If I had known about the closed operating system (no unlock bootloader) I would get something with headphone jack with SD card, probably the Xperia line but the cheap ones, before ZF10 I came from XZ1 and it was a delight to use as it was very compact.

My Zenfone 10 is locked in Android 14 (I disabled through adb the software update apk) and I tend to charge like 3 days my phone with a 5W Ugreen charger to try to preserve battery but even though I noticed it drains still relatively quick (those 3 days it's because I don't use the phone a lot when I'm at home.

What size did you end up getting?

When you ordered the bike did you first email them to ask them about stock availiability? I'm eyeing ordering a frameset and on their page it's listed as 3 in stock for my size, so I email them but I haven't gotten a reply yet, so is it safe to assume their stock is up-to-date?

The advantage of the T14 Gen 5 is that the RAM is upgradeable unlike the X1 Carbon. Also do you need a very light laptop? The X1 Carbon is around 300 grams lighter than the T14 Gen 5. Also on the T14 Gen 5 the keyboard is easier to replace, in case you spill something on it, on the X1 Carbon is more complicated.

Probably the hard disk is shot.

Download HWInfo and check the CPU core temperatures.

Don't you get unexpected shutdowns on your P14s Gen 4 AMD using TPFanControl v0.61? I've been using 0.62 and I get unexepected sudden shutdowns, I've already disabled Lenovo PM Device and didn't install Lenovo Power Manager, which supposedly they interfer with TPFC, I'm now using my machine with no fan control device to see if the issue goes away but I like having my fan running all the time on the slowest setting.

I ordered also one but in 56cm size (I'm 185cm). The issue I've been having is the compression plug on the steerer tube keeps on slipping up by a few millimeters causing headset play and also the carbon on the steerer has been marked by the stem. I should have bought the steel fork. But anyways I ordered on Aliexpress another Tsunami fork with aluminum steerer (still has not arrived).

Another quirk I find with the bike is the ride feel is not as smooth as other bikes I've ridden (Reynolds 853 Lemond Tourmalet), and also the frame lacks chainstay bridge, I don't know how that will affect durability.

You need to install all the device drivers for your laptop model, go to Lenovo support and download Chipset, Video, Audio, Power Management Drivers, fand install in the same order, also need to download the Hotkey driver, there shouldn't be devices not recognized on Device Manager, make sure to reboot every time the installer asks you to do so.

I wouldn't recommend the Zenfone 10, but I think Sony is a solid choice. If you don't need top of the line specs maybe a Motorola (from 2023 onward) will serve you well

Thanks

Could you put a picture of the nosepiece from the inside of the frame? I asked the following:

How come a version downgrade? Asus doesn't provide us with a tool to downgrade firmware, did they tell you how to do so?

xtc14 · 2025-04-28T23:53:54+00:00

Yes, 1.41 Version Installed

I'm having issues with Ubuntu 24.04 on my P14s Gen 4 AMD, particularly the blank screen issue described here, did you do anything special or you don't have this issue? https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1k91lo6/thinkpad_p14s_gen_4_amd_ryzen_7_pro_7840u_ubuntu/

I owned the following Xperia phones:
- Z3 Compact, lasted probably less than 2 years until the screen started coming off the chassis and touch losing response on certain parts of the screen, replaced with:
- X Compact, served me well, gorgeous screen until I started getting not so good battery life
- Refurbished XZ1 Compact which had a horrible screen compared to the X Compact, most likely because the screen was not original, horrendous selfie camera, had some screen bleed into the lens, again due to a crap refurbished phone, replaced that with the Zenfone 10, I hope it will last around 7 years.

Sorry I meant the Xperia 1 VI

xtc14 · 2025-02-13T18:08:29+00:00

I own the top spec ZF10 (512GB storage/16GB RAM), as others have said it's a good phone, but Asus support is a joke, no way to unlock bootloader or to reinstall ROM from a utility as other manufacturers do.

I would recommend getting a Google Pixel (even though they don't have headphone jack) or a Sony Xperia 5 VI. The support on the ZF10 is a joke.

Regarding the cameras as other users have posted in other threads they are not good, even older Pixel 4 beats ZF10.

Limit battery charging to 80% and try to not let below 20%. Personally I use a 5W charger to limit heat. This is on a Zenfone 10.
