Are you saying it's the power bank or an unregulated charger. Cos the swelling is a sign of unregulated overcharging. I'm pretty sure the power bank can regulate charge output.

Just my thoughts sha
Swollen batteries shows gases buildup inside them which are caused by overcharging of the battery due to a faulty battery, or faulty charging electronics in the phone or battery charger.

Career / Re: Travelling To Canada And Starting A Pure Water Business In Nigeria. by aeu1: 4:03pm On Jun 02, 2018
@ OP,
Actually, it all boils down to what you really want.
1.) Pray for divine direction. First step.
2.) Access your SWOT (Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat)
3.) Based on the 3., if your are entrepreneurially inclined, I suggest you stay back in Nigeria and do business. I tell you. Contrary to what most opinions here may suggest, it is actually BETTER FOR ONE TO DO BUSINESS IN NIGERIA. Contradictory enough, it's is foreigners : European, Americans, Asians and Arabs that tend to sniff the vast untapped business opportunities in Nigeria and consequently tapping into it. SAD SAD SAD!!!!!!?. If not, you are free to travel and LOOK FOR JOB abroad.
4.) In event of making up mind on business option; don't go for water production business yet. It might overwhelm you. Look for less competitive business and run.
5.) Subsequent to above, I will rather suggest that you look for business opportunities in SERVICE INDUSTRY and not MANUFACTURING for now. As an educated & exposed person, look for blue or black collar business such as Car repair & service business to undertake.
You will have to rent a space or abandoned filling station and set up a fully equipped workshop with all the repair tools, diagnostic scanners/laptop, welding machine, car spraying machine, a little inventory of modern engine oils & filters for car servicing.
Start up and the company (structured business with Account/Inventory Dept, Repair unit with You in admin/management Department.
Consult a Chartered Accountant/Management Consultant to draw up the operational, reporting, accounting, auditing/inspection structure and what staff to employ. Don't attempt to run a serious business with just your intuition and emotions. You will have issues on staff, funds, equipment and operational angles. Make it really formal. Use consultant to hire staff!! Pay and get the best. You know how bank use to recruit, do same in your business.
Then you are set to explode. Make the pace well arranged. Clients will be in waiting room watching TV and read newspaper while their cars are being fixed at the workshop. Take a cue from impressive banking environment.
- Interview and employ good mechanics, and all revenue will be paid to Account unit in order to avoid pilferage of funds. Acquire POS Machines, etc.
- Acquire basic tools such as spanners, Jack, Lift, computerised tyre balancing machine, tyre pump. Have the major units: Mechanic, Electrical, Tyre repair, Panel beating and Spraying section with functional equipment.
I tell you, mechanic business has now grown beyond what should be operating as road side business for school dropouts, rather, serious minded individuals should venture in and organise it in a way to meet up modern global standards.
All these new model cars don't really have competently equipped workshops to patronise, even when they have the money to spend, just no where to go.
If interested, search Google, make enquiries and venture in.
It is easy to learn business in the service industry than manufacturing.
All you need to do is to monitor the operations in line with your objectives.
Workers can be placed on either salary or with commission & bonus to motivate.
Ensure you have a repair equipment that is not common so as to attract referrals from other workshops and really boost patronage & revenues. That's the ultimate secret here.
**** God bless you

Lexus 5w 40 fully synthetic engine oil, SM rating is being sold for 5k in my town. I was amazed. It is made is Dubai. When I checked online, I discovered that Malaysians too were amazed by the cheap price there.
However, the container holds 4L and is soft.
Pls is this product ok generally and specifically for Toyota Corolla 99/2000.
NOTE : Presently, I'm using Hardex Eco full synthetic with 6months change interval.

Phones / Re: China Mobile A3s Thread by aeu1: 10:59am On May 29, 2018
To be fair enough, this phone has good specifications & reasonable camera performance.
However, I reserve my interest in it because of:-
* It heats up easily and displays warning sign especially during charging and usage.
* The the SMS from 2nd SIM doesn't indicate the contact's name on phone book when using hybrid SIM adapter.
* No FM Radio
* The OS User Interface is not fluid at all.
* Fingerprint scanner is not sensitive, it takes multiple attempts to recognise finger.
* Battery drains faster than my expectations for a 2,800mAh battery.

PayPal is still much available. You can use that. Inter switch becomes invaluable when one is not paypal compliant.

www.gearbest.com is one of the biggest and robust chinese online shopping stores for international customers
Emphatically, it has always been fun and thrill anytime one goes for shopping online. For budding shoppers aiming at exploring the frontiers of e-commerce for the first time, gearbest is a reliable online store to start from because of the many safeguards inbuilt. Similarly, for old and repeat buyers, it apt to point out that there has been quite some remarkable improvements, particularly in simplified payment processing. Hitherto, the only option of making payment for purchase on this site was via PayPal. We all know the complexities that surrounds the PayPal method. One has to register on PayPal, add & verify all the Debit or Credit cards. Cases of restrictions on PayPal accounts or limitations/restrictions to certain geopolitical regions still abounds. Many still dread the mention of PayPal

Happily, gearbest listened. The good news now is that, as a Nigerian based buyer, at the point of checkout, gearbest now make options available to smoothen payment process.

1. ) Pay with PayPal
2.) Pay with Credit cards
3.) Pay with Interswitch/Verve/Airtel/MTN

Baroba:


I will say 5/6 hrs, my girl has been using this device since December 2016.. Good screen on time, but it takes time to charge. If am in your shoe right now, na 4x I go buy. I have heard mentions of 15 HR SOT..

Talking of the 4a, the phone all of a sudden started trickle charging at a painfully slow rate, atimes it will just be stuck at 21% or less. And it doesn't get to 100% even if I charge it for 8 hrs straight.. I have tried all sorts of cable / adapters no show.. May be na to reset the whole thing, I went into recovery to see if I can clear cache, but the Chinese language come scare me, I quickly went back...phone was bought factory sealed ( pre order) from geek buying, before man come discover Ali.. any help will be appreciated.. forgive the long rant...
Find a way & flash an original MiUI ROM.
Geekbuying usually installs their vendor ROM on xiaomi which tends to give a lots of issues. My REDMI 3S from geekbuying didn't even recognise SIM card from onset, radio, Bluetooth, etc refused to power on.
Only a flash cured all the problem.

House, I am not getting an impressive charging speed with this Redmi 3s. Imagine the phone charging at 5/1A or less for a 4000mAh battery.
How long does it suppose to charge from empty to full?
UPDATE:
The battery software is indicting 1:38 hrs to charge from 77% to full. This mathematically means 4:20hrs to charge this phone from 0% ~ 100%

No seller from China would sell/Ship power banks to you.. Dont buy, except you want your money to be refunded back to you.
well anyone can go ahead and prove me wrong!
It all started when batteries started exploding in their cargo planes, some post claim these batteries don't follow safety standards. China post and Sweden post where the first to put a halt in the shipping, Singapore post followed after some months, now Netherlands post stop 3 months back, although I still bought power bank which was smuggled to me and shipped by Geekbuying grin ..
You can read more about these contraband, just Google it, there are some many things that can be shipped from China unless through water ways
Have any of you ever asked why is it that Aliexpress uses only Singapore post and Netherlands post to ship phones, it's not only because they fast, it's mainly because Phones are still allowed to be shipped.
I fear in the near future, this Post might get rouge and stop shipping phones, well let's all wait and see.
Last November I purchased several power banks from China. Netherlands Post and Hong Kong Post were used to ship it.

House, I ordered Redmi 3s from geekbuying on 13/11/16 and eventually pick it today from the Post Office.
However after booting it on, it indicated "No SIM"
I discovered the following:
- WiFi not working. Switches off immediately after being switched on.
- Bluetooth not functional.
- FM Radio not working
- Invalid IMEI - when I tired chworking.
-No sound. Only vibration.
- The MUMI has 5 digits - vendor installation is likely here.
Please can this be attributed to software or hardware ?
What is the next step to take - pls help a brother here.

Good people, thanks for your support and encouragement. I finally flashed a new ROM - Global stable 8.1 albeit some procedural missteps. When I had given up hope, I later discovered that it has been successful.
All the above issues has consequently been solved.
I was surprised that there is a fingerprint scanner in this model - such menu was not supported by the unwholesome vendor ROM. Dear, original is the best. I'm most joyful. We give God praise.
