We got Link's Awakening Remake. I'd want an Oracle of Ages and Seasons remake too; but what I *really* want now is an A Link to the Past remake. Also Triforce Heroes. by thangcuoi in c/legendofzelda@lemmy.world

Agree. I would highly recommend new readers to the series to start with 14. Apart from being a great introduction to this world, it gives off a really good sense of going down the rabbit hole. A really fun ride.

Book 3 was probably the weakest as it had a completely different tone, but still enjoyable for fans of the author.

I would also recommend Dark Matter by Blake Crouch that was recently adapted into a tv series. Best to go in blind. Don't even watch the tv series trailer as it contains minor spoilers.

Redmi K40/Mi 11X/POCO F3 - Unable to make or receive call fix by thangcuoi in c/xiaomi@lemdro.id

That is correct. My friend's mobile carrier said they would disable 3G in December. Not sure why she only experienced the issue this week.

The Poco F3 supports up to 5G. I confirmed that its 4G bands are compatible with the carrier. AFAIK, this phone model was not officially released in Australia so it's probably not on the carrier's list of 4G compatible devices.

After entering the code to disable carrier check, the VoLTE icon shows up on the status bar and calls are now working as expected.

My friend's Poco F3 suddenly was not able to make or receive calls. Data and SMS still works. She has been using the same phone and Kogan sim card since June 2022.

We tried restarting, updating to the latest MIUI 14, testing the sim card in another phone (worked), and another sim card from a different carrier in the Poco F3 (worked).

In the end the solution that fixed it was to disable VoLTE carrier check by entering the codes below into the Phone Dialer. You will most likely have to toggle Airplane mode to reconnect to your mobile network.

Disable VoLTE carrier check * # * # 86583 # * # *

Disable VoWIFI carrier check * # * # 869434 # * # *

I wanted to share this tip as I have come across several posts reporting the same issue.

You should see a little pop-up notification to confirm that the carrier check has been disabled. Two additional toggles will also appear under Settings > Sim card & mobile network > Your Sim card settings

This website has a list of other Xiaomi devices compatible with these codes.

What is favourite File manager app and why ? by thangcuoi in c/android@lemdro.id

Same. I have spare Google Rewards credits so I bought the in-app purchase to support the developer. Been using this app for probably over 10 years now.

One of my most frequently used features is the FTP file transfer to/from a Windows device or even another Android device.

On my Fire TV 4K Max, when I perform a search with the keyboard visible, Alexa will type out what I say into the search box.

If Alexa enter the wrong phrase, I can just hold the search button and say the new phrase and it will overwrite the old phrase and perform a new search.

I recently purchased a Onn 4K 2023 box and I seem to have to manually delete the previous search terms before performing a new search. Otherwise, the new search terms will just be added to the end of the old search terms.

Is there anyway to change the behaviour to more like the Fire TV voice search?

eSim is a physical chip inside the phone.

Discussion: Desert Skies S1 finale + Binge vs episodic (lemm.ee)

I listen to a lot of audiobook and podcast for many years and has since branch out to audio drama. I discovered Midnight Burger a few months ago. Caught up with all the episodes and now patiently waiting for the monthly releases.

While looking for recommendations for show similar to Midnight Burger, I came across Desert Skies. I love the humour and the wholesomeness. It's amazing that one person was responsible for putting together this whole show. I binged all the available episodes + Desert Skies FM. I had to wait almost a month for the last episode of season 1.

Now that the season finale came out, I found only the last few minutes of the episode feel cohesive with the rest of the series.

Was there a drop in the quality of the writing of Desert Skies S1 finale or was it just me? Did the month long wait lead to loosing the continuity feeling?

I have listened to 2-3 episode of Midnight Burger as they came out each month and did not have the same issue.

Do you prefer to listen to audio drama that has been completed or do you not mind waiting for the weekly/monthly episode drops?
