i got one of those cheap Chinese bluetooth tags/trackers from Aliexpress



IMG-20200701-115020.jpg


i downloaded the app "kindelf" the instructions said to download to my Android phone for it from the play store and i opened it and tried to search for the tag
and it wasn't finding it, then i noticed that my screen was not unlocking (i have my mi band set as a trusted device for smart unlock)
then i investigated and found that i could no longer turn on bluetooth at all , i uninstalled the app and rebooted the phone like 5 times still i can't turn bluetooth on
i went to settings>apps> and forced stop on my bluetooth app and cleared cache and data and rebooted the phone and still i can't turn bluetooth on

i updated my phone to the latest version of Android for my device and i did the security patches and still i can't turn on bluetooth
so now i have a phone with no bluetooth

i did get the tracker to work with the IOS version of the app on my ipad though ,but now it seems like everything i do on my ipad the ipad gets really hot
but i did recently update to IOS 13 and the new version of uncover jailbreak so i am not sure if it;s the shitty Chinese spyware app or the shitty Chinese spyware jailbreak that is causing the issue

anyways anyone have any suggestions on how to fix bluetooth on Oreo without having to resort to doing a factory data reset?

these things SUCK NEVER BUY THEM !

Nice but please remember when talking about this that there is a L in solder. It really really pisses me off every time I hear an American or someone else (its mostly Americans) say Soder why the fuck they miss out the L I dont know lol. Even @AlanJohn said soder in the latest EoFCast interview :rofl:

I recently bought a gym membership. Including Personal Trainer services and a nutricionist to help me out.

Aside from that I bought Farcry Primal and Spyro Reignited Trilogy and three pairs of tennis shoes. Won't be buying anything else this month. x.x

Having six feet is probably a big advantage in tennis.

My wife was born and raised in Reading, England. She moved here to the US in her mid twenties to study and eventually applied for and was granted citizenship. I met her in my early 30s when she was just turning 25. We were married three years later and stayed that way until she passed away two years ago. She was often very offended by the way I said "solder" without saying the "L".

We dug into the issue. Turns out, both are correct!

To understand the word "solder", you have to understand where the word came from. Originally, the Middle English word was "souder" which came from the French word "soudeur". To take it even further back, the French word originates from the Latin word "solidare". In the late 15th century there was a movement to make words closer to their Latin origins. As such, "souder" became "solder".

The American's decided to stick with older pronunciations because they were pretty anti-England at the time and wanted to distance themselves even further by adopting an older pronunciation scheme that all English knew but didn't use, but by then the words spelling was pretty official. As such, the "L" became silent so that the word sounded closer to "souder".

And now you know the "solder vs sodder" fight. Neither is wrong, both are right.

Got an email from nintendo saying my joycon repair status has been updated to being shipped to me. The email doesn't say anything about it being repaired or not.

Got an email from Amazon saying my preorder of Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town will be delivered sometime between August 5 and September 4th. I'm really getting sick and tired of amazon. I understand that their is a pandemic happening right now but they kept doing this to me way before Covid. Hopefully they don't do the same for my Ghost of Tsushima preorder.
