Mine has been fine on just the left side, and the modes still switch like normal. I mostly keep it on the default setting anyway. The only thing I’d check is whether the fit on your bad ear stays comfortable after a few hours.
Mine lives beside a bookshelf and I just check that the vent side isn’t blocked by anything. The cord being short is more annoying than the wall itself, but a little breathing room on the front and top side has worked out fine for me.
I mostly just check whether the app still shows the device as online when the internet is out. Sometimes the router is fine but the internet is down and local stuff still works, other times everything drops. It’s inconsistent enough that I don’t really count on it.
I gave mine away after two nights. The shape just didn’t work for how I sleep, and I could tell pretty fast it wasn’t going to click. No point forcing it if your gut says no.
Mine lives on a switched outlet and I flip it off overnight, been doing that since winter and the modes are still where I left them. Only thing I noticed is it takes a few seconds to get going again in the morning. So unplugging is fine as far as I can tell.
I think a schedule helps mainly because you notice faster when someone isn’t eating. With three pets it’s easy to miss that stuff if food just appears whenever. I don’t think it has to be super strict though.
Mine runs fine while charging, I’ve done it a bunch of times when the battery was low and it never cut out on me. I usually just keep it plugged in for the whole session now.
The earpiece thing isn’t really an issue for me. I just talk on the phone like normal and it’s fine, though I do turn the volume down a notch first. I don’t get the whole feedback problem people keep mentioning.
I’ve been using mine with tap water for about a month and it’s been fine for just sitting at my desk. The cooling is mild but that’s kind of what I expected from something this small. Cold water does make it feel nicer but I don’t bother most days.
Bag strap actually works better for me than keys did. I tried the key ring for a bit and kept grabbing the wrong thing, so I moved it to the strap of my everyday bag and it’s way easier to just pull without looking. Nothing wrong with keys if that’s your thing, but I wouldn’t call it the best spot.
I’ve used mine on a couple of those fatter bottles and it did the job fine. The only thing I noticed is you have to hold it a bit more steady so it doesn’t slip off center. Manual opener still lives in the drawer, but more out of habit than need.
Alright that clears it up, sounds like I won’t be stuck hunting through videos just to get the controllers connected. Appreciate the quick answers, probably gonna go ahead and grab one.
Mine felt a bit looser after a while too, but it was pretty subtle so I never messed with it. I just snug it up once midday if I remember and that’s been fine. Could be the straps or could just be how it sits on your leg.
I use mine in a similar spot, lower back after too many hours in a chair. My pattern ended up being every other day or so, not daily, mainly because the pads start feeling less sticky if I slap them on constantly. When I do use it I’ll do one longer session on the lower back and then leave it alone for a day. That rhythm has worked better for me than trying to squeeze in something every single day. Daily probably wouldn’t hurt if you kept it short, but I don’t think you’re missing much by skipping a day here and there. It’s more of a “when my back is complaining” thing for me than a strict routine, and it still does the job.
Mine didn’t do that until I’d used it maybe ten or twelve times. It was more of a light grind than a squeak though. Still works, but I did notice the spray got a little uneven around the same time.
I don’t think wifi is as big a deal as people make it out to be. Downloaded the Mandarin pack once and it’s been fine at my parents’ place where the signal is garbage. Quality takes a small hit but it still gets the job done.
The 8 hour thing is overkill for these little drone batteries. Mine was done in about an hour and a half. I do leave mine plugged in overnight sometimes and nothing bad has happened yet.
I don’t have cable either and mine pulls in the local stuff fine. It’s not some huge upgrade, but for the price it’s been a solid trade. Setup took like two minutes.
I actually ended up running mine during the day instead of at night because my place is empty then, and that seemed to make more of a difference than anything. Pests get used to whatever routine you set, so flipping it on and off randomly probably isn’t doing you any favors.
I only really use mine around 8 or 9pm when there’s still a bit of light left and it does fine for birds and stuff moving against the sky. Bats should show up okay, they’re just small so you mostly catch the shape flicking past. Mine’s the basic model though so the zoom helps more than anything.
The fan noise on mine is actually kind of soothing, like a little white noise machine in the corner. I run it overnight sometimes and it helps me sleep. Different strokes I guess.
For one chilly room, something like that is usually enough to take the edge off. Mine warms up fast but the heat stays pretty close to it, so it’s more of a “point it where you are” thing than a real room heater.
I’d just pick one app and stick with it instead of bouncing between a few. That was my mistake at first. I had the Aptofit app on my phone plus another tracker I’d been using, and having both open seemed to mess with things. Not the steps, those were fine either way. But the heart rate readings looked different depending on which app I checked, and I couldn’t tell which one was actually pulling from the watch. Once I deleted the extra one and let the Aptofit app handle everything, it was way less confusing. So if you already have a fitness app you like, I’d try that one first and see if the basics come through. If they don’t, then fall back to the Aptofit app. I don’t know if the sleep data ever makes it over to other apps though, that part never worked for me.
Since I wasn’t sure either, I actually messaged their support before buying and asked for the full list. They sent it over pretty fast. Might be worth doing that if you’ve got a specific language in mind.
Mine have been fine with both my work laptop and phone, but I don’t think it’s fair to expect instant switching. There’s always a couple seconds where the audio has to catch up when I move between them. Never had to forget and re-pair though, it just remembers both and hops over when I select it.
I’ve done the half fill thing plenty of times, usually when I’m just topping it off with whatever’s left in my water bottle. Never noticed it messing with the cooling much. It still blows cold air, just runs out sooner obviously. I think the 8 hour thing is only if you fill it to the top anyway, so you’re not losing anything by doing half. It’s not like it stops working or gets weaker when the tank isn’t full. The only thing I’d say is if you’re using ice, a half full tank means the water gets cold faster or stays colder for a bit, which is kind of nice. So I wouldn’t stress about filling it all the way every time. It’s not a fancy machine where you need to hit some exact level. Just pour what you’ve got and let it run.
