Why can't I swap out my sim (To esim) via desktop?

Bit of an issue I've been dealing with for over a month now. Since T-mobile service agents over the phone and Tforce can't figure it out. Back earlier last month, I was able to access my sim settings on my android phone within the Tlife app. I'm not sure what T-Mobile did on their end to change anything, but now I can't access settings within the app itself to change out my physical sim to esim due to "We can't verify your device" error.

Is there a way for an agent to bypass this or that I can use self service options via the Desktop website? I have direct access to my account, I can log in successfully with my main device that has T-mobile service on it. But, I can't access the sim settings within the app.

$1.60 for credits towards my bill?! Spectrum has lost their mind.

I'm going to keep this very short and brief. This is both an internet problem and a billing problem. I've been having nothing but internet issues, slowdowns, high latency over wired internet (ethernet Connected to my laptop), Delayed notifications, dropped phone calls because I cannot get a decent signal out where I live, and a whole host of other small problems over a two month period.

It just happens today that my internet was completely down for a small period of time along with my backup cellular internet. Even still, that small period of time turns it to something completely long because it's been an intermittent issue every day or every other day, for 2 months straight. Not only that, internet support over at Spectrum over the phone is telling me that they can only provision a maximum amount of $12 and some change to my bill. But the problem is that they're telling me that I needed to call in. Well, dude, if I was able to call in I would. I can hardly get a cell signal out here as it keeps going in and out in my mobile home.

I'm reliant on both internet services due to the fact that I'm actually crippled to a cane. So I have to walk either 500 feet out towards the main road where I live just to get a decent signal. And even then When my internet isn't down, it's usually some other issue like a HTTP timeout or longer latencies or delayed notifications or missed calls because I wasn't able to receive them due to any External factors connected to my spectrum internet.

Spectrum is lucky that they're the only one out on my side of the city that has decent *dependable speeds. Since there's no other internet provider out here that provides that type of internet to my mobile home. This may seem like more of a rant than anything, but it shouldn't be me dependent on calling Spectrum customer service to have a problem fixed, even though I told them over the phone that I can't make Long enough phone calls to report a problem.

It shouldn't be dependent on whether a customer is factoring in them calling in for customer support or help. It should be factored in that there's a small population on my side of the city that uses Spectrum Internet. As everyone else that's out by the main road is mainly using fiber, which Spectrum doesn't have on my side of the city.

Has anyone ever gotten a red magic phone to work with this?

I have the 11 Pro and I got the MagSafe controller attached to it. It was Bluetooth paired before then it disconnected and I gave it the permissions for nearby devices and now the app itself just won't function properly even when I hit the connect button under Bluetooth.

It's like it's just refusing to connect every time I hit there the Bluetooth connect button in the MCON app. I even tried factory resetting the controller and it still doesn't do any good.

Azahar emulator install size for windows is above 10gb?!

I've never seen an emulator like this that requires this much space for installation? This is straight from their .org website with the github repo at the top of it. Plus, over 10k plus folders needing to be installed??? Is this legit or am I seeing things?

Edit: It's now ballooning past 22.3GB in size?!!

Edit: Meant to edit the title. It just being ai ads in general.

New Motorola stylus announced. Whatever Motorola's smoking, I want some of it.

Within the same time span of the new Motorola Stylus being released for $599, you can get a better phone for the same price in a flip format that doesn't cost as much to get repaired and has faster storage and a better screen.

Not to mention a better, more premium processor. And hell, I have the ultra version of that phone and the damn battery is good as hell, if not better than the stylus itself. I know they're completely two different tiers but at the same price point it feels like it's just eating into the razr market. I mean if you really want to hit the nail on the coffin on this for $200 more you can get the ultra version with one terabyte along with some free gifts.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller issue

Since I wasn't able to add in the full question at the top of the title, I'm having an issue with a shake to wake on my Nintendo Switch 2. The controller's been updated since June of this year since I first received it, and the shake to wake isn't working over 2.4 GHz. I read that you have to switch to Bluetooth, but the problem is that it disconnects from the Nintendo Switch number 2, if I hit the switch on the bottom of the controller. As I've seen, it was advertised that it would work with the controller as long as it's tethered wirelessly to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Is Patreon supporting always incompetent?

TLDR; Patreon support is too incompetent and failed to upheld their end of a refund which they failed on, after multiple emails about a couple creators getting removed and my subscription and goods and services ended one week after the subscription renewed. PayPal dispute failed so I initiated a dispute with my bank. Ended up in my favor and my Patreon account got banned and deactivated permanently.

Let me start out by saying I've never had an issue with Patreon before, particularly when it comes to refunds or in this case, chargebacks. I mean, one can easily follow those steps. You go into your billing history or information with your memberships. You click the three dots and then you report a problem for the creator and then you ask the refund from the creator. As said by Patreon support team.

However, after emailing them multiple times before, before they laid out this master plan of there's that even a toddler can follow by. Dtating to them that the creator is no longer on the platform because either they were banned or nuked from the platform for whatever reason. And they said, point blank, that they don't handle refunds. I'm like, okay, cool, it's under your terms of service.

And then comes the stupid effect. When they ask you steps 1, 2, and 3 by going under your billing information or history, click on the three dots under the creator and then report a problem with or for the creator and ask for a refund. However, you can't do that because the creators were removed. One week after my subscription renewed itself, so, I asked them politely, hey, the creators don't exist on the platform anymore because they were removed.

So Patreon support team got back to me and then they said to me that they'll give a one-time courtesy of a refund. Cue ahead a week later no mention of it from them or from my bank or PayPal. Mind you, the first time I emailed Patreon support regarding my subscriptions and the goods and services not being delivered one week after they got cancelled to them, there was no response back for at least five days.

So I did a charge back through PayPal. So going back and forth between PayPal and Patreon, Patreon uploaded their information and PayPal sided with them saying that I did receive the goods and services. However, I did not because one week after the creators were banned, I lost access to said goods and services. So after calling PayPal over the phone several times, they told me that my best bet is to go with my bank or my credit card company and file a charge back from their end. I asked PayPal politely, hey, if I do this, will my account get suspended? And they said it might, but we have no control over that, which I said, OK, that's fine. So I did.

Cue ahead a week later. My dispute ended up being in my favor after uploading documentation screenshots of Patreon failing to refund me. So now, after I was refunded, two days later, Patreon emailed me and said that they detected suspicious activity, which LOL, of course, because I initiated a charge back. And then they permanently deactivated my account, which is no loss to me.

Pixel 10 still shows locked when activating an eSIM with another carrier (Phone is verified unlocked and paid off from T-mobile). Anyway to fix this?

So, this is a continuation from another thread. Basically shipped my phone to a third party (Savegadgets) to be sold to them. But, by their own words and pictures they sent to me over email, and after going back and forth for a whole week. Finally came to a conclusion that the phone is in-fact locked, but in a non-software sense (Maybe a glitch?) I was able to activate a warp eSIM from US Mobile. RCS messaging works, mobile data works, calls and texting works, and wifi calling works.

This is after multiple factory reset attempts. Same error shows up. Same issue when US Mobile asked me for Sim slot 2. Even though both slots are eSIM only. And, yet Slot 1 was functionally active with warp. I would go in store, but I would encounter the same issue. Which would be that this phone belonged to my dad's old account, and I was POA over it. Successfully paid off all devices, and had them transferred over to my name and my own account. My new account has been active since june of this year, and my dad's old account with the Pixel 10 has been paid off and unlocked (By what I've seen with the lease on it and the payment reciepts I have with the same email).

I don't have access to any of the lease information on the device, but I have payment receipts to show for it. Especially since in-store, over the phone several times, and T-force on X saying the exact same thing. That the phone is paid off and unlocked, but that error will still continue to stay there, and there's no way on my end to get rid of it. Plus, T-mobile in-store will not be able to help me in any compacity, like last time.

So, here I am. Unable to sell or trade in this device, despite having the reciepts to show that it is unlocked, but no lease information on my end to show any proof besides the reciepts and some screenshots from T-force on X. Since, I'm not able to screenshot on the Tlife app. I need a different approach.

Food stamp benefits decrease from $223 to $24. I'm on SSDI. Is there a way to regain my full benefits? (More info below)

TLDR; Long story short, How do I handle a situation like this with DSS? To regain more of my benefits back with food stamps or SNAP. Is anyone else going through this? And am I making too much each month or am I over the allowed limit?

I've been on SSDI since may of this year. I received my benefit letter in late March. I don't know how DSS calculates these things, but I told them what I showed via a rent ( $211), electricity bill ($180), phone bill ($140). Since they don't take Medicare into account because they take out $209 each month for my SSDI check of $1,550.

Here's the kicker though, last week over the phone my case worker called me from DSS saying that if I come into the office and reclaim my $209 each month from Medicare then my food stamps will be affected. But come high water a couple days later my food stance was reduced anyways. Another slippery slope. I called my housing coordinator under TCL last week and mentioned to them about my income increase and me retiring from a job.

They mentioned after calculating everything up from March to June because of the award letter in March, but I didn't receive my payment for my SSDI until beginning of May. To come out to be $508 for those four months. Mind you, I've already paid $211 each month from May to June. So I'm paying extra on top to cover the leftover amount, from my TCL housing coordinator.

I've already sent a check out last week to the landlords office for $508. Mind you, the landlord doesn't answer phones or text or anything. So I'm assuming that's a good sign because I mentioned this to my peer support group and they mentioned you're not getting convicted are you that don't worry about it. The thing is, the TCL Housing Coordinator told me to come up with a payment plan with the landlord, but the landlord is not answering their phone calls like they usually do.

So to cover all my bases, I'm sending out $400 even to my landlord's office each month. Because under my housing contract with Medicaid or the Medicaid provider and the landlord is a total of $1,535 each month. And my Medicaid provider is paying all 75% of that. But someone from TCL program told me that they would cover that amount for two years.

So I'm assuming I have to pay extra each month to the landlord to cover any increases. But I haven't gotten any word or response back from them, even after sending them that $508 check last week. If I continue to send out $400 to my landlord, how do I handle this with DSS in my food stamps?

Because my total check each month is $1,550, then minus $209 for Medicare, $180 each month for electricity, $400 each month for rent, and $140 each month for my phone bill.

Edit: After doing some roundabout calculations with everything being paid for each month coming out of my SSDI that leaves me with $601 each month.

What is the quickest way of getting a hold of the executive team or T-force at T-Mobile?

TLDR; Selling my Pixel 10 device that belonged to my dad's old T-Mobile Account to a third party and they're only wanting to give me a quarter of what they quoted me because of a bad esn when it was inspected. Even though I know for sure that I paid off every device that was under the older T-Mobile account that belonged to my dad.

Okay to start off I was the power of attorney over my dad's old account. On the 28th of April I paid off all of the devices that was under his account. A couple of weeks later, I transferred everything over from his account to mine under a newly created account. Hoping that at least with the device leases and loans, we're transferred over to that so I'll have access to those just in case anything happens.

A couple days ago I recently sold a Pixel 10 device to a third party. Come this morning they told me that it was a bad ESN and the device is still financed. That device, the Pixel 10 was paid off since the 28th of April and I have the receipts to show it. The only problem is I don't have physical access to the old account that belonged to my dad and I don't have access to those loans or leases that was tied to his account which was tied to the Pixel device.

The third party is wanting to pay me only a quarter of what They quoted me if every condition was checked on the list. Which it is. I wouldn't have sent out that phone to be sold to them and inspected by them if I know for sure that it wasn't payed off. I tried going into the T Life app, and go into chat support, and explain the situation to the bot but the bot is asking me to tap on an invisible button that's below it but I can't see anything. I tried refreshing exiting the app and going back into it.

And I know getting on the phone with someone from T-Mobile won't help any because of this complex situation.

Why are we required to use a chromium based browser for hardware updates?

More of a discussion than help. My main web browser on my windows computer is Brave (Chromium), yet when that little message at the bottom right of the screen pops up telling me that my keyboard and mouse is required to have a software update. When I click on said link on that notification it takes me to their FW web updater.

Here we run into a simplistic solvable issue. Why oh why am I required to use Chrome, Edge, or Opera. When I can use Brave? The brave shields are down, no vpn or dns filter running. Why am I required to update my hardware soley for corsair to force me to download a secondary browser (Opera). I don't know if it's brave's internal code that triggers a block by the web based fm update. But, this has to be a horrible oversight on Corsair's part or the team running the required Web fw update via chromium.

Edit: Just to reiterate. The newest update for my ironclaw and vanguard air 99's lighting system stopped working out of random due to a couple of bugs. After the newest update, it was fixed. I understand that from a community standpoint that updates aren't required. But, there's a point in time when both keyboard and mouse would and will need updates to fix both software and hardware related issues.

Is anyone having issues with phone call overlay not appearing when making phone calls using the default dialer or google voice?

I've noticed this over the last few weeks. It's been a random appearing and disappearing bug. From time to time, the little overlay bubble at the top left of the screen was keeping track of how long I was on the phone with someone. Then at random times, it would either disappear completely from view or in some odd cases, not being able to bring up your in call phone dialer or the current phone call not appearing in your list of open or recent apps.

Usually a phone restart would fix this. But, it's been an ongoing issue now for several weeks.

T-mobile test drive trial starts as soon as the modem/router ships?

I helped my cousin up north get a trial run with T-mobile home internet. I should've paid close attention to the verbiage of it. In his email it says "Your test drive wraps up on June 21, 2026". Problem is, the modem/router is arriving today or tomorrow. So, how is he supposed to test drive it if he only has less than several days less? Because he ordered it on the 6th of June. Which I'm guessing they count the days of the device being shipped, and after it arrives?

Having some issues after crash landing on the planet at the beginning of the game

I'm at the part at the beginning of the game where you crash landed on the planet and you have the motorbike. It keeps on going into reverse and getting stuck in the rocking terrains. Reloading my saves doesn't do anything as it keeps getting stuck. I could have swore last year this was patched out Apparently not. Is there some type of button commands or something to respawn my character? Anything?

If anyone needs any more information, it's for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Edit: The game is a lot of fun, but it's too janky in an oversensitive way. Especially when your character wants to keep hopping and skipping over different obstacles or walls or objects.
