  1. I ditched HTC in favor of oneplus years ago. But the problems I have with my current and second oneplus (8 pro) are just too many to count, even more so after updating to android 12. To name a few: - Notifications won't display on the lock screen, despite being enabled. - Automatically connecting to their own bullets wireless is completely broken. Same with auto connecting to any other bluetooth device and automatically resume playing music, this is really annoying in my car, where I now have to open the bluetooth settings, connect, switch to Spotify and press play. It's minor I know, but this wasn't the case before updating. - A single tap on the screen while the phone is locked used to be able to show the time and battery for a short time, gone now. - Being unable to slide down the quick access menu on the lockscreen while the phone is locked. - When using their fancy pants wireless dash charger it sometimes stops at 52% or 76% and just won't charge further. - I too have 21gb labeled as 'other' in my storage. - The camera quality is hit or miss, mostly miss. Sometimes it makes a great picture, other times it looks like it was taken on my galaxy gio from 2011. Most of these problems came after the update to android 12 and I'm so pissed about updating, but in classic android/oneplus fashion, the update notification was impossible to dismiss and swipe away. Really not giving me any choice. I'm still waiting on daddy Tim Apple to give us actual fast charging and allowing us mere mortals to move apps anywhere we want on the homescreen instead of throwing them on a pile.
  2. I upgraded my ~10 year old Bose Companion series speakers to a Harman/Kardon Enchant 800 soundbar. On my previous speakers I used a Focusrite Scarlett Solo for my volume control. But for some reason I have extreme audio interference when using my Focusrite on the soundbar. But here comes the weird part, I only have interference when using my desktop as a source, but only sometimes? If I connect to either one of the aux ports on my desktop (the back of the motherboard or the front i/o) I have interference. Same when using my audio interface, as previously mentioned. I have tried different cables, different usb ports, even different power circuits in my house (i.e. pc on one circuit, soundbar on other), all to no avail. I have also ruled out the possibility of either the soundbar or my audio interface being faulty. Because I have no interface when: Using the audio pass-through of my monitor (monitor aux out to aux in on soundbar) Connecting my audio interface to my laptop, using the same cables. Connecting any other device to the aux input (laptop, Nintendo Switch, 3DS, phone, random bluetooth receiver etc.) My audio interface connected to my old speakers, or connecting my desktop directly to my old speakers. I'm not entirely sure if it's my desktop, because when using headphones or my old speakers I have normal audio. So, I'm lost at the moment, as from my testing nothing seems faulty. It all works in different combinations, unfortunately just not the combination I would prefer to use...
  3. I'm looking for new speakers but because of my setup I can't fit big speakers on my desk so I started looking at soundbars. The problem is that I need multiple inputs, one is coming from my audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett Solo) which is an RCA and another one from my monitor (hdmi; laptop, gameconsoles) using a 3.5mm jack to RCA. Currently I'm using a very old Bose companion 2 series but even they are too big for underneath my monitor, so they're laying on their side which is of course not ideal. I use speakers for everything and only occasionally use headphones, I also don't really want a subwoofer. But I have trouble finding a speakerset/soundbar that meets my input requirements. So basically I'm looking for speakers that are not that high or a soundbar with support for two RCA inputs. Or another way to connect those two inputs. The maximum space I have underneath my monitor is ~79 cm (31.1") wide, 20 cm (7.87") deep and 16cm (6.3") high Any help would be appreciated because I've been looking for the past few weeks without much success.
  4. Your case should have a front panel breakout cable in the box. Connect the front panel connector to that and the small connectors to the motherboard according to the diagram in the manual (Chapter 2.6, Page 20 in the online manual) In your video the button itself isn't lighting up, only the hdd activity. Which suggests to me you've got something wrong. Then again, if you have something wrong, how does it even turn on.
  5. Nzxt doesn't use those multiple-connectors on their newer cases, its all just one block. Much like an usb 2.0 header. What mobo do you have, and is the front panel connector seated all the way?
  6. I've just switched from a Oneplus 6 to a Oneplus 8 Pro, but I can't seem to be able to open the android auto app. On my 6 I can just open it without connecting it to a car. My car doesn't have android auto, but I like the interface on the phone. Both apps show "Installed from Google Play Store" and this is the same app, as far as I can tell. On my 8 Pro I can't open it from the settings or the Play Store. Sorry it's in Dutch ._. On the left are the settings from my Oneplus 6, on the right the 8 Pro. Both phones are running android 10. Online topics tell me to install the Android Auto for phone screens app. But this is not available in my country and is also not installed on my Oneplus 6. I can open the app using the "additional settings in app" at the bottom of the settings, but I cannot get to the main part of the app. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this?
  7. Normal files and images can just be copied over to an harddrive/usb stick. Entire programs or apps can be a bit tricky. Some might work fine if you copy them to another drive. Others have to be reinstalled on the other drive.
  8. The main thing these tech youtubers point to is that there are more things that can go wrong with an aio. ie. pump failure, leak, evaporation of the fluid overtime. But that's not something that happens often, but it does happen. I bought a Swiftech aio 5 years ago because it can be refilled and expanded. And because it has a better pump (or so I'm told, it was my first build) And I have only refilled it in January of this year. If you have the budget and the space in your case there's nothing wrong with getting an aio. Although, if your case doesn't have a window or if your pc isn't a "showcase pc" you're probably better off getting a big air cooler. But if you're concerned about reliability, just get an aircooler. Just don't get a 120mm aio, they're pointless in my opinion.
  9. I would suggest putting the tubes on the bottom. As explained by tech jezus: Skip to +/- 18 mins for a quick explanation
  10. Maybe look into an h700i or h510i case from NZXT. I'm not sure but the cam-device is basically a Grid+ and a Hue+ so it might be nice having that built-into the case?
  11. I'm planning to do a new build in the H400i and need to know a very specific measurement inside the case. My question is if someone on here who has a H400/H400i is able to measure this part in the case for me: (from the top, inline with the mounting holes, to the bar) What I'm planning is using a Swiftech H240X2 or H220X2 as my cpu cooler, but I think it comes down to the millimeter whether or not it'll fit. Thanks! By the way, is NZXT discontinuing this case or something? I can barely find it online and it even disappeared from their own site.
  12. Small update: It's really unstable, just had it play the "device connected" windows sound over and over again. Then, when I could finally enter the password again it shut down my entire computer upon trying to open it trough file explorer. It also crashed EaseUS Partition Master when trying to error check the drive Pretty sure it's a broken usb at this point? I highly doubt ransomware, since it's only connected to 1 or 2 computers (or 3 if you count mine) My parents and I aren't that stupid with installing programs, shady weblinks or wired emails. Is there a chance a data recovery company could be able to get the files of the drive? (if I didn't nuke it in the past 30 minutes)
  13. Ok, I tried to error check it using EaseUS Partition Master, but now the drive doesn't even show up. When I connect it, it lets me enter the password, but after entering it just disconnects the drive.
  14. It's only some folders, other folders and files work fine. And only that (external) usb drive Not sure though about the ransomware.
  15. So my parents have an usb drive that's encrypted with bitlocker 5 minutes ago, some folders in the drive look like this: This is on multiple computers, all windows 10 Since I don't really trust anything I found about this (mosty Indians making youtube videos that claim to have a solution) I'm asking here Some files on here don't have a backup (stupid, I know, I told them multiple times) Is there way to fix this or are the files lost? Any help would be appreciated.
