Harbb: This is a nice thread.
I have a baby boy. of late it started showing me "maintenance Req'd" on the dashboard. It started with flashing this maintenance req'd until its permanently ON now. When it started, I thought it needed servicing. I did the servicing including checking the plugs and the nozzles, but the indicator won't go off. I hate seeing that indicator. Any hint on what to do next?

You could get it scanned for probable check engine problems. If error codes are discovered that needs repairs or replacements, it should be addressed. But occasionally, these light might remain on even after the problem's been addressed in which case the errors can somewhat be deleted or reset to make the light go off - I want to safely assume that deleting the unnecessary errors will not interfere with subsequent functioning of the check engine light - I stand ve be corrected.

lacasa: Hello all,

i drive a. 2k5 honda accord, ii αve a problem.

While i'm driving i notice dat after i slow down or wen i want ϯo re-accelerate sometimes, the engine vibrates (shakes) until i lift my foot off the throttle completely, bt wen i put my foot back on the throttle it moves normally.


i thought it was the spark plugs causing this, but i've changed the 4 plugs with new ones but it still does same.

a mechanic said it's probably from the fuel pump.

Any ideas wat it is

Usually when accelerating from rest, the engine needs rapid and good supply of fuel and air mixture to give that acceleration compared to when you'd already attained a high or constant speed at which the engine simply cruises on the attained momentum and therefore requires little fuel supply at that speed. A bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter or a dirty or dusty air filter might not allow enough fuel-air mixture required to provide the power needed for a rapid acceleration or rapid take-off hence the "jerking" by the engine the moment you floor the pedal. Have your mechanic check out those things with the possibility of having 'em replaced. Our dusty roads in this country usually clogs these filters faster than normal.

dpresido: Nice thread....Pls I nid tip on my Baby Boy 2000, The steering is a bit stiffed. Used to be flexible than this before. Have topped de transmission fluid and still same. Thanks

The transmission has little or nothing to do with the steering. I hope you meant to say the "power steering fluid" which of course also uses same fluid as the tranny. Usually if well gauged, your steering flexibility should be restored except if there's a leak somewhere which will be indicated by a rapid reduction in the fluid gauge or maybe the power steering pump had gone bad. Good luck.

luvinhubby: @yomex
I think u need to change the ATF u are using. Our local ABRO can be used for steering but never for Honda gear box. Try using the Z1 or DW1, u will notice an improvement.

In fact, that ABRO isn't good for gears on any car for that matter. Leave it standing for long enough and you'll see particles sedimented at the bottom. Had to change the auto tranny in my primera twice within a year cos I kept using ABRO as the gear fluid. 'Twas on the second occasion that the Ibo guy selling me the gear adviced me to steer clear of ABRO (good only for power steering) and use TOTAL Dextron (less chances of getting adulterated) instead with the new tranny. 7 months now and it's still working fine.

Sirwilly4u :
Pls wat is d latest firmware version for Nokia E71, mine is 100.07.76 (2008 ),is it not possible to download it directly to my phone witout PC and how do I watch youtube or online videos on my phone anytime I try it says unable to connect. Tanks for ur gudwrk

You can download third party you tube players for symbian on line. Heck you can even get an app to download those videos in whatever formats you choose for later viewing on your phone or PC. Try nokiaVNN.com

ahmmyreal: lol.. symbian better than android? this question shouldn't be
asked. the difference is clear! I guess
you haven't used a good android
phone before comparing symbian to
android. symbian is dead. you should
be com pairing iOS to Android and not symbian. on Android u can install
computer OS, can u do that on
symbian? what will u be doing with a
32mp camera phone? when it is not a
digital camera. seriously you need to
do some digging before posting.

jedisco: Is it that you people don't read or what?

I did not say which one is better.
If you think android is better then GIVE REASONS rather than repeating what several people have repeated.

Coming to the Computer OS, I don't understand it. Can you tell me the Computer OS you install on android?

Tooooh. I wonder o. Even the almighty windows tablet will be careful boasting of installing direct PC apps.

Bro, look at it this way most people
going for android are going for all the
hype. Like its been stated here over
and over again and asked over and
over again. What does an Android do
that a symbian device can't do?

Mafia4life: Bros nor talk am ooo. There are MANY, I mean PLENTY things andriod can do that my beloved symbian cannot do.

See you masef dey F-..up for here. Android get a version of "SYM-EYE"? Heck no! You launch it and have your belle phone monitor movements in that area. It's able to identify the number of objects/people that crosses its field of view, video-records 'em (duration of record is user programmable), e-mails or MMSes you the video while at the same time SMSing you an alert to a predefined phone number telling you how many objects/people, time of movement and time of leaving phones field of vision. Abegi wetin!!!

Promxy94: lie of d century both d resistive & capacitive of Nokia works
wit broom stick,k coming to apps do u
hav talkin tom on ur symbian or ovi
market,the ansa is capital no,not to
talk of many more Andriod apps.up
Andriod

Ogidi-Olu:
Guy, before u make ridiculous posts, please make use of Google(it is really ur friend) #just an advice#.
Now to answer ur 'question', try using a broom to operate SG2 or N8 and see if it will work. Even ur nails cant work on them because they're both capacitive screens and ur finger is the only thing that can operate it(ofcourse, there are stylus for capacitive screens).
Yes, we have talking tom, talking cat, talking elephant, talking parrot, etc. They're all at ovi store.

Abegi tell am o. The guy just dey argue like primary 1 pupil. Talking tom? Msscheeeew. Enter nokia store and just type in "talking" alone in the search box and see if you'd not be greeted by a barage of "talking whatever" you can think of.

Promxy94: Nokia devices their touchscreens are wacks,even a broom stick touchd on it wil operate it,bt andriods are customised to work wit ur finger print,or sensitive part of d body.Andriod os are gr8,to me they r d world leading os

Chai! Dude you wanna sound like a tech savvy but only ended up exposing your crass ignorance. But I'll nonetheless open your eyes.
You see, the earliest generation of touchscreen technology (which is still of significance relevance today) was the RESISTIVE touch. It works by making contacts between two layers sandwiched and seperated by a transparent filter. The various contacts between the two layers that occur when you press the screen is then interpreted by a complex circuitry. This is the type that could work with both your finger and stylus (which could practically be any object with a point including the guitar pick/plectrum in the nokia 5320 package) and probably the type that worked with your improvised "broomstick" stylus. Nokia had explored this technology even before apple ventured into it. It is still been employed by china phones, car touch radios and some other low to mid end gadgets including those you need to use when wearing gloves (eg medical equipments or used by ice travellers). An improvement on the technology involves the inclusion of multitouch technology which still makes it of relevance in mid-range phones today.

Later came the capacitive touch technology which works with sensation of change in the relative capacitance created by the presence of warmth or the miniscule potential difference created by living tissues. While this means more sensitivity and less pressure on the screen before instituting commands, it has little application in places as the ice-cold poles where you'd need to be in gloves, ditto medical equipments. This technology has added features as multi-touch, swipe, etc. It's this technology that has been developed by both nokia and apple in the race against each other for touchscreen superiority that google woke up one day to apply in their first ever devices. So android was never the forebearer of touchscreen technology.

I hope this, however short it is, has sufficiently installed or updated - as the case may be - your knowledge of which side of the divide wins in your bid to use touchscreen technology as an arguement. Belle all the way.

Fairgodwin: Funny enough, my mother still sells this (exercise) book (in her shop).

. WTF. D'you know what you're saying dude? Are you in this realm at all? .

nuelle: Oh wow!! As a kid, I had always wondered who arranged such complex and difficult multiplication tables behind that book!!! It made me scared of the back of the book...

Lol. You go be olodo that time be that o. .

Clemzy16: Yeah! I remember.. Also, the 2a book that has the picture of okocha, and
kanu.. Maybe taribo west inclusive. Can't really
remember.

Reference: No Sir. You're not of that generation.

. In fact most likely your okocha and kanu never even comot inside belle that time sef. Abi maybe your memory don dey scrambled? Se you go like flash am? . Taribo west ke? Sho, na wa for una o!

INFO70: I used it without minding the poor drawing on the cover page

Eeeya. Silly you. You really missed out then, passing thru the book without letting that book pass thru you. . Unfortunately na one time chance otherwise I coulda advised that you negotiate your way back to the basics.

masterpiecer: the one i love d most was the song at the end of the semenster:

sensydin: Haaa, "ara orun" (deity from Heaven) was brutalized badly by "ara aye" (men on earth).

♫Na today-ay. E don tey e♫.

lomzy1: Hmmm sweet memories.. Does anyone remember any of these:

Alawiye by j.f odunjo (iwe yoruba)

Family living (a subject in primary sch)

And there was this leave we used to grind to paint d blackboard black!!

Felele ball, wembley 5 ball

Match pass with a guy rolling stick in front

They used to tell us to bring brooms to school then and u will be scored based on how big ur broom was!! Most dull students used to get good marks then cos it was a big opportunity for them.

Goody goody, ekanna gowon, tree top, gala of dos days....

Pls add more guys... Bring back d memories

Kai. Walahi, I don talk am say before my pikin enter any primary school, I go first ask if dem get Alawiye as part of dem curriculum. If not, I either as a PTA member force 'em to include it or move my child/ward forward to another school with better future and much better and sensible curriculum. Lol.

donigspain: Sweet Memories:
PRI 1 - I was appointed the class monitor simply bcuz I lifted HALF block.
PRI 2 - Recognized by the HEADMASTER for conducting a solo 'sting' operation which led to the STATE expulsion of an ogbanje dude in my school.
PRI 3 - I was tortured by a macho dude in my class for exposing his after-school profession which is grinding pepper in the market.
PRI 4 - I was given a BLACK EYE by a much smaller troublesome dude in my class. My class gals had to press d eye wit ice blocks and rubb.
PRI 5 - I stayed back at school crying until it got dark cuz I came 2nd in a class of about 50. My 1st time of leaving 1st position.
PRI 6 - Became the overall school MONITOR (Head Boy) and finally reclaimed my 1st position from Isani Ogwo. That guy terrorised me academically.

Why does this life cycle sound So much like presido Jonathan (GEJ) own? Just saying.

Okiki_Oluwa: yes ke. mo lo mona kai

Lol.

enitan2002: The book of the present time doesnt have all those metric tables, its only pictures of celebrities like dbanj and psquarr u will find there. Where have we gone wrong. I spent 20kobo on lunch in my own time but kids of the present time wont even be satisfied with a hundred naira note.

Na wa o. Wahala dey o-o-o.

clemmonce: did people actually use slate to write in those days ?

Yeah, with chalk. Boy when were you born?!
It was the easiest way to teach kiddergaten and nursery the rudiments without wasting so much books. If they make mistake, just clean with a duster. We would always leave them back at school when going home and get it distributed to us every school morning for the days work. <crying> oh those sweet old times.

beeola: 30 days has september
,april junne n november
all the rest ve 31days
except feb whch has errrr
i don forget the remaining

♫30 days have September doh lah doh
April June and November Soh lah Soh fah mi
February has 28 alooo-ooone
And all the rest have 31 doh re doh.♫

Bright2: Yes! Those days when education was stressful & fearful.

Yeah. And qualitative.

Scarpon: hell yes we talking about 90's and early 2000

90's? Well it was in the early 80's thru early 90's. Can't really say if this book was available by the 00's. I think books like "standard exercise book" were beginning to replace the "Olympic exercise book" by then.

mohumyta: The back of this book was my GOOGLE search for cheating on those multiplication table.First work in the class after assembly is to recite 1 x 1= 1

This is how we recite it :-
Two TANS one - Two
Two TANS two - Four
Two TANS "Sebin" - Fourteen
Two TANS "Elebin" - twenty - two
and you get to be caned if you fail to recite nos one to twelve multiplication. Then we'll make fun of those who can't recite properly. But come to think of it, can our children nowadays recite this thing the way we do then? I wonder.

Oh my, oh my. Those good old times - Do I loooooooove 'em.

mbhs139: Sometimes in 1993 or there about, the famous novelist, Jeofree Archer, and a member of the British House of Lords, was jailed for three years for lying.

The fact of the matter is that he failed to return part of his travelling estacodes having slept free of charge in his friend's hotel. The prosecution argued that he was suppose to return the money back to goverment purse since he didn't spend it for the purpose it was meant for.

Read your meaning to that.

We have our own version of good people too na. For example, I myself that I'm talking to you. Another example like me is Prof. Akunyili, former NAFDAC chairman who returned an excess of a money used for treatment abroad.

gboss4sure: You and Afam4eva must be gays for saying nothing is wrong with homosexuality.

Also "trent9002". I guess they're trying to preamble revealing their own orientation too. NLanders, brace yourselves for the shocker!!!

"I LOVE this guy as a person. Why would he do this?". Now why do I think that sounds gay-ish? Hey dude, watch your utterances o, or better still the words you use, now that suprises are all over and people coming out with shocking revelations.

Boboribo: How does an android user in say Kano send a photo of an event in Kano instantly to a friend in Lagos and the friend in Lagos will get instantly. Give me asnwers too for music, videos and URL links. I use a BB currently. Moved from S40 and all this BB is shi.t stuff is making me wonder. I want to learn please.

Symbian, Android, i-Crap, and even s40 users can conveniently do that using whatsapp. It's what I currently use for my cross platform communication. You can send music, pictures, videos and even applications if you don't wanna do it over e-mails. Isn't the symbian world breathtaking? Yes, I know.
