thanks so much for the updates,i will keep this in mind

You are welcome.

Mizik:
I'm guessing its the last update

That might be true, I know I install every update as they come. Probably started after the last one.

Majikals:
Roughly 7 months +

Same as mine, I guess that's the lifespan of the battery cells after intense usage circle.

Majikals:
Screen is working OK but there's a rapid battery drain problem. Either the new screen is juicing life outta the battery too quickly or the repair guy played a fast one on me and swapped my battery

My battery recently started draining faster than usual, and honestly I thing it's my fault as I use my phone for no less than 15hrs daily... Every single day since I got it. And I charge it way too frequently than normal, so am guessing that one is on me.

How long since you got the phone?

Majikals:
9k (in Makurdi). Maybe less if you can bargain well because I was in a hurry and obviously desperate when I fixed mine

Screen and touch lens? Or just screen?

Majikals:
Broke my front glass last week. Screen was OK but had to change both glass and screen cos couldn't get only glass in the open phone store. Now I discovered my battery drops faster than usual and phone gets a little hotter than normal. Charging port is OK,

Was it properly fixed, the money to fix mine is not the problem. It's the fact that the phones design might be a little too sophisticated for a normal phone repairer. Don't won't my screen to start typing itself or misbehaving after they open it up manually. Is yours functioning properly and did they damage the body while opening it up?

My repairer said he can get just the touch, but there's a chance of damaging the screen while opening it up.

must every Account that has gift card balance be blocked by Amazon?? and what are the reasons for them to be blocking Account from Nigeria with gift card balance,i am new to all this i intend to buy something there

The real reasons that Amazon lock accounts are much more to do with protecting customers from fraud and money laundering. I didn't realize this until yesterday when Amazon called me on 2 different occasions since I have been emailing them and Jeff bezos on a daily base and have been asking to speak with someone. I was surprised when the call came and I spoke with a supervisor and customer support respectively. They have triggers in place that automatically locks your account if you trip any one of them, they were being secretive about telling me these triggers but I got a pretty good idea from our conversation. Here are the triggers:

Failed Credit Card Verification
If you’ve previously had an Amazon account suspended, you may be tempted to enter fake billing details or use someone else’s credit card when opening a new account. And whilst it might seem like a smart move at the time, it isn't. Avoid using fake information or other people's credit card.

You see, when you add a credit card to your Amazon account, they’ll check if the billing address registered with your card provider matches the default address on your Amazon account. And if it doesn’t then prepare to have your account locked very quickly.

Always contact your bank to give you your exact billing address as it is in their system, and use it as it is when adding your card to your Amazon account.

Suspicious Gift Card Activity
On Amazon, gift cards are equivalent to cash on their platform so they have to police them tightly. With Amazon having the widest range of products of any retailer in the world, it has become a prime target for money launderers that want to turn cash into items. This leads to 2 big triggers that usually alert Amazon to lock an account when dealing with gift cards.

Unusually heavy usage of gift cards – Buying and redeeming large values of gift cards can seem unusual so Amazon will want to verify your reasons for it.

Buying Giftcards Immediately Opening a new account – If someone goes onto Amazon, opens a new account and the first thing they do is buy a gift card of a significant value, this will cause an immediate lock on your Amazon account. Again, Amazon isn’t trying to be evil. They simply need to comply with various money laundering regulations around the world. At the end of the day, they love your money and want your orders as much as you want to buy from them.

Multiple IP Addresses In Different Locations
Opening your Amazon account in one location, then making lots of purchases with an IP address in another location can make Amazon start to think “how’s this possible?” and “has your account been hacked?”. So avoid using different VPN location when visiting Amazon. Stick to your normal device IP address to be on the safe side.

High volume of returned orders from your account
Every time you return an item, Amazon has to deal with shipping and restocking which costs them a lot of money – particularly for a company that notoriously sells items at a very low profit margin. That’s why Amazon has systems to detect unprofitable customers that have a higher than average return rate. Therefore if your volume of returns is particularly high, expect to see your account locked.

High value of items being ordered
Another trigger for getting locked by Amazon is an unusually high value of daily orders – particularly on newer accounts. Keep your daily orders below $300 - $500.

Has anyone in this thread with a Nokia X5 or 5.1 plus recently replaced their charging port or touch screen (outer screen lens) and back glass panel?

Mine too a hard fall recently and got cracked front and back, and my charging port is acting up.

who have used this guy before.

I have. I would advice u go pick up your stuff yourself when it gets to their office or send a friend if you aren't in Lag, otherwise his waybill guy will over-charge to waybill it to you. That is the only aspect of his service I would rate very poorly otherwise He is very reliable and legit!
