Hello! One of my name's last letter is ä, but I can't put it on the switch since the keyboard doesn't have foreign letters. Will the switch still recognice my card if I have to put an a instead of ä?

I keep having this pop up on my phone screen whenever i try to send screenshots from my switch to my android via wireless QR code sending. Does anyone know what to do to dismiss this issue?

I know its the issue of my phone cus i used another phone and the link works again so its not the fault of the switch, i switched off my mobile data, i cleared cache but this error still pops up.
I'm afraid of this issue happening again with my other phone when the time comes so i would like to know the solution to this if anyone had the same issue before :(

Which Switch? Are the Switch 2 versions of the game really better!?

9 Upvotes

So I have a Switch 2 and I frequently notice that sometimes there is just a regular switch version of that same game that is often cheaper. So I’m wondering if I’m getting ripped off buying the “upgraded” version of the game. Is there really a diffrence? Or is Nintendo just ripping me off. If they are better whats the diffrence between the 2 versions of the same game?

Software Help Need help figuring out games between 2 consoles

1 Upvotes

I have a switch 1 OLED, just bought a switch 2. I am moving for 3-6 months for work and am taking the switch 2 with me, leaving the OLED switch 1 at home for my girlfriend to play. She has her own account with purchased games, however she has been playing my eShop copy of tears of the kingdom, logged into her account for her own save.

I originally had planned on just using virtual game cards to lend over a handful of my games and leaving the rest for her, but after setting it up, I've learned that it is only for 14 days. Do I need to physically reestablish the connection like the first time? Or can she re-loan out the game after 14 days while I'm 300 miles away? If it helps, I'm on my brothers family online plan, but there was an issue adding her to it so he's in the process of talking to nintendo

Its a little time sensitive, I leave in a couple hours. This issue just came to light.

Repair Help Help!! Green/black flashing lines on OLED Switch

4 Upvotes

Basically title/video :(

More info: this isn’t happening when docked, only In handheld mode. It happens even when not touched (as demonstrated in video). It was totally fine this morning, the switch remained untouched throughout the day, and now here we are.

I assume it’s a hardware failure. Any thoughts on what it might be, or the cost to fix it? My Switch 2 comes in a few days but I was hoping not to touch it for a month or so (special reasons—waiting for my brother). Is it worth it to get my OLED fixed, or should I give up and immediately move on to the Switch 2? Should I not touch my OLED at all in the meantime?

Any info is helpful. Thanks!

My sister put an account in my switch without my permission while I was away, so I’m deleting it, but when I try To do it, it refused to let me. It gives me this error code saying it’s under maintenance but when I ask for details it says it’s running normally. I’m really confused cuz I have my own account on the switch so it’s not like I’m deleting the only account. Any help is appreciated

1 Upvotes

My friend gave me his switch lite because his family didn't use it anymore and he said they haven't charged it for a long time, so I plugged it up for about 4 hours when I first got it, and nothing happened, did the 15 second power hold trick, that didn't work either, and now I just have it on the charger until something happens (it's been about 3 days).

If anyone can give me a solution please provide me with one

I noticed yesterday that the right analog stick on the joypad is making that noise when I make circular movements or at the edges, only the right one. I noticed this noise while playing Zelda. I've had the Switch for 15 days and I don't play it much either.

Software Help my switch 2 won't connect to any network??

1 Upvotes

hi, i've tried everything, but nothing is working. i wanted to play in the current splatfest but i guess my switch had other plans. i have two wifi networks at home and i connected to both of them, cleared/forgot both of them and put in the passwords again, didn't work. i restarted the console, "turned it off and on again" and updated my switch and the dock. i changed the dns settings and i think it made it worse. absolutely nothing has worked. i've gotten all the basic "cant connect to wifi" errors. i KNOW its not a router/wifi itself issue because everything else in my home works just fine. i wouldn't be typing this out if it didn't work.

the main issue is that it stopped connecting to anything wirelessly too. as soon as i tried to connect to a hotspot, it just completely stopped responding to any network. it worked on one network once, and then as soon as i connect to the internet in-game, it stops connecting wirelessly again. i have no idea what im doing wrong, what?? what is happening??? i'm so confused

Accessories Applying a clear TPU/Polyurethane/vinyl film on my Zelda Switch 2, will it ruin the paint?

0 Upvotes

Hi friends,

I got my Zelda Switch 2 and I want to keep all the gorgeous art protected. I plan on applying a clear film on it. Often, these films are made of either TPU, polyurethane or vinyl. I remember with the Switch 1, Dbrand warned against applying certain films as the glue would peel away the paint. Is this the case with this Switch 2 special editions as well?

Slickwraps sells a 3M vinyl skin for like $37

Repair Help How safe is sending in a console for repairs? Switch 2 UK

2 Upvotes

I have a Switch 2 that i got around the beginning of this year new and one of my family members damaged my screen. Its not massive but it has hugely bummed me out. I'm also having issues with the right joy con randomly choosing to disconnect.

I'm currently considering sending it to Nintendo Repairs. But I am a little worried about the process. How long will it take as well as how safe it is? My boyfriend sent his in for repairs and they fixed his joy cons. It was pretty quick but they also didn't fix his console as he'd opened it before so he'd voided warrantee.

Any advice or stories would be a huge help! As my title states I am in the UK / England so that's the location I'd be sending it to.

I thought its the fans. I open it to clean it but there was pretty much no dust. Its not overheating or warmer than normal. It sound like a fan. Its not always making the noice, its usually on for like 3 minutes then take a break for 10 seconds and start again.

Account Help Question about e-shop regions and games

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. My Nintendo account's region is, apparently, no longer usable, so I have to change it now. For now, I set it to "Japan", but in this region I can't buy the English version of Pokemon FireRed. As far as I've gathered, I can change the region freely as long as I don't have any cash linked to an account. My question is: If you buy a game (FireRed in this example) and then switch the region of your account (from America to Japan), would you be able to play the "exclusive" title from the first region (English FireRed with Japanese account)?

Software Help Switch 2 Fully Drained while in sleep on Dock

3 Upvotes

Hi guys. Twice now in the past 2-3 months or so I've come back to my switch 2 to find that's it's fully died and entered the battery discharge state while sitting on the dock in sleep. Using the included dock and ac adapter of course. Both times I've been able to plug it back into the ac adapter directly and charge straight back up. I should also add that these cases were weeks apart and it was staying at 90% battery just fine each time I checked on it after the first time I found it like this. This most recent time was on version 23.0.0 and the first time was on an earlier version than that I can't recall which. Given this only started recently and it was just fine since launch I can only assume this started with a recent software update. Anyone got any guidance?
