camera wise ..it's poor in the camera dept

I sure say na megapixel you look. If that's the case, it means that camera phones of 64mp and above are better than the likes of the Canon EOS R3 and Sony alpha A1 that cost over ₦4.5 million naira because their megapixels are lower.

Thank you for taking ur time out to reply, I appreciate you.

I check the oil most times. And if I did it very dirty before 2weeks, I change it.

Oil change is not done by how dirty the oil is, it's by running ours. The manufacturer of your gen recommends changing of oil after 100 hours of use.

Mkelv0106:
You're correct boss. Money is a factor, sumec is really expensive now, that's why I'm looking at other alternatives. What would you say about Kemage generators?

Can't say anything about kemage, some persons got some when they just came into the market and have no real challenge. The problem here is the Nigerian factor, standards are not adhered to because of corruption. It's still safer to go with the big brands at least reputation is at stake.

Mkelv0106:
Good morning big man. I'm looking to get a gen, but I cant make up my mind yet, between an Elepaq, and ITEC both 4.5va. I'd like ur advice on which btw d both of dem I shud pick

I think you are attracted by their prices. First the elepaq is not up to that rating and I can't advise anyone to buy iTec, at least not for now.

Jaiytech:
Please do you have any experience with Sumec TS 3000? The sales person here is asking me to buy it. It has key start and a timer. According to the the sales person, you can set the timer and it will automatically go off.

I like convenience, but I like peace of mind even more. I can hardly find it online. It is only on the Sumec website. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Please is this a good buy?

That's a fake generation, a rip off of the Sumec spg 3000. Where did you see it online? Its not on Sumec website.

Guys,

My Redmi 9 has been having issues this morning,

When I try to on it, it'll just show the Redmi and Android logo then go off immediately.

Tried fastboot it also sucked right here

How far with this?

Lesbihornest:
it’s not working. It just goes off and on. Na wa o

Leave it then on fastboot mode until the battery drains, then charge it and try turning it on .

Lesbihornest:
Thank you. I tried to hold the buttons down and it’s stuck here now.

Hold power button and volume up and try safe mode from there

Englandboy:
4000kv and my 3000kv

That gen is supposed to be noisier than yours all things being equal.

Englandboy:
my firman 3000kv I bought in 2019 and I don't use it more than 6 hours a day since I bought sound well than a recently new model generator type

Which particular gen are you comparing with? Note that engine size also affects noise level.

donshady:
That oil is too expensive . It's not bad for 2weeks. That oil does a good job

That na cheap oil na. If you use the gen everyday like you stated, you are killing the engine if you don't change oil weekly, piston and rings will soon shatter.

SyncForth:
Took it to Raya,
They said it's the panel,
50k for redmi 9 panel, phone we I buy 71k as of 2020

This is clearly software related, wetin b panel there? It's a pity bootloader is likely locked. It is for reasons like this I advise bootloader to remain unlocked, not necessarily for flashing roms.
Leave the phone on showing fastboot mode till the battery runs down, then charge it and try powering on, you may just be lucky.

donshady:
My review after 8months of usage (Runs at least 12hours daily)
Serviced 2times a month using Total 20w50

1. Engine seats got damaged.
2. Valve plate got damaged.
3. Recoil starter got damaged.
4. Exhaust silencer got Damaged.( Got welded by a welder)

All replaced and Generator is still working.

With this usage, oil should be replaced every week at least.

SyncForth:
Tried that already,
That's what brought up the fastboot image above

Power button and volume up should take you to recovery mode fastboot is power button and volume down..

SyncForth:
No signs at all.

I used this phone till around 11pm-1am this morning only to sleep off and wake up to it like this.

I did no update or whatsoever

Tried power button and volume up if it will take you to recovery mode?

Reddington:
Lol until they experience something entirely different & better, you can't say for sure. Most people used to be fine with Miui cam until they experienced Gcam.. Mi cam went though the window. Buh make we leave mata.
In the end, anyone can use whatever they feel comfortable/safe with.. Stay put for your comfort zone.. e get why

This is exactly why the tweaking thread was created, for those who want to explore.

OCTAVO:
Yeah, I'm considering that as well. Though I still need a phone with great camera, my eyes are on Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra at the moment, before I came across this thread.

But the Iphone 13 pro max is better than the S22 ultra for videos na, abi eyes dey turn me? .

Reddington:
Legendary ROM.. Super optimised, clean & near perfect with gorgeous Miui dailer/message, faster touch response, among other good stuff. People on Global roms don't know what they've been missing TBH, especially RN10Pro users..
Sorry for digressing, but I just felt like putting it out there again... People are allowing the fear of bricking their devices deny them optimum performance & the perfect Miui experience ... Follow the simple easy steps & you'll be fine

Most people are fine with official rom. No time for all the troubles that can come with flashing.

agentarcher:
Please I need an advice here. I'm playing on getting the 12x. I am thinking of getting the Chinese rom because it's cheaper. One of the disadvantages I have seen is bandwidth limitations. Google services is not an issue for me as I only use YouTube. As for gaming, I use my laptop. For phone calls, I use a small Nokia phone. Is it still advisable to get the Chinese rom and use a mifi to browse with it?

If you can live with mifi why not? Its a great device. Some sellers even ship the chinese version with Xiaomi.eu rom, means you can just download Google services directly from playstore. Note that bootlloader is unlocked already

OCTAVO:
How much is it? Hope it is 12gb/512gb?

I equally need phone with good camera for videos. IPhone 13 pro max didn't impress me, I just sold it after 3 weeks.

You don't need a phone then, get a camera.

Englandboy:
thanks I guess u mean the foam in it

Yes, the foam is the air filter.

Englandboy:
can I do it by myself I have seen it it stain with oil and dust inside

Wash with warm water and soap, rinse and allow to dry, then soak it in oil. Squeeze out the oil and put it back on, that's it.

Kareayo2:
Good morning Gptech.
I want to buy a generator today. Can I advice me on the brand to go for.

My budget is 140k.

I want an a good generator with low noise, low fuel consumption, easy to maintain, able to power home appliances like blender, fridge, washing machine and pumping machine.

Any brand suggestions and power rating please?

Assuming the pumping machine is 1Hp, you'll need a 3.5kva generator like this Sumec spg 3000, but you'll need to up your budget to around 200k.

Englandboy:
I have neva service my firman gen 3.5kv the yellow colour type since I bought it in 2019 but I do check the oil whenever it about to go black I will change it. I don't run it overnight but 5hrs mostly ...not much load on it just my double door fridge and tv fans and bulbs, hope am not causing any harm

Just keep changing oil regularly and clean the air filter, no cause to worry.

S,A

HeightsKE:
So sad with this wahala...so much heat now

Have you checked the AC plug if there's a loose connection?

bolakale30:
Is AVS a good alternative.

I don't think they serve exactly the same purpose.

bolakale30:
This has been an eye-opener... Thank you so much chief. One more question, Nepa doesn't really work with the AC too, the voltage is admittedly poor. The AC runs but the fan on the outdoor unit struggles to roll, when it does, it rolls slowly, so the AC output is subpar. Will a 5,0000 Watts Stab help?/

Yeah, a 5000VA stab should do, though there are limits to how low the voltage will be to even power the stab just like seankafor said.

Zhirinovsky:
My sumec firman won't start. The rope is stuck inside or something because it can't pull out.

I just checked the oil and it wss very low almost empty.

Please if I refill the oil will it be OK or has the engine knocked?

Refill the oil first. For the stuck rope, remove the spark plug and try pullng without the spark. If it pulls, then it's possible some amount of oil or fuel found its way to your cylinder. If it's oil, then keep pulling without the spark on to get rid of it.

bolakale30:
Exactly... Just the AC o, and a low voltage TV and one bulb.

It is what it is. Same generator can power 1.5HP inverter AC. The power needed to start up many equipment with pumps and compressors is sometimes about 2.5 of the rated power. Your 1.5HP AC for instance may have a power consumption of 1100W and may require 2.5×1200=2750W for start up. If your generator is the Sumec Firman SPG3000 series then its not possible for the gen to survive this because that generator is 3.5KVA max( 2800W max).
Inverter ACs on the other hand don't require such huge amount of starting power and also don't run intermittently like conventional ACs.
