I would rather go for sd gen 2 on a Huawei/honor brand to explore harmony os.

This is much better, abeg skip that dimensity 7200.

genius43:
I was shocked. I was thinking he will be gunning for a Xiaomi 12 or 13

That's the way to go for me sha. Someone using a new Redmi note 12 pro+ felt like selling it immediately he saw a Mi 10. The difference is very obvious in looks, feel, display,etc.

dvkot:
there is no downgrade in performance that mediatek chip is a beast if anything it's a better performance

Oo, ok, its actually better. Seems you already made up your mind; you have your own preferences, but with that budget, my first option is definately an old flagship device, Xiaomi 12 at least. Second option will be the Poco F5. The performance of the Redmi note 13 pro+ is around the league of the snapdragon 865 in the likes of the Xiaomi Mi 10.

dvkot:
I want to use a Huawei phone or RN13pro

You dont mind the downgrade in performance? I mean switching to Redmi note 13 pro.

Sunkyphil:
am suspecting the panel because after I changed the battery the situation remained the same

Which phone?

Entanglement:
kerosene is very expensive in our side, is there any other method I can use to clean the air filter apart from kerosene?

I have never used kerosene for this once, I use warm water with soap, that's what is written in my manual, it's also written on the air filter cover, you can check yours.

fijiano202:
this is not in the manual.....

Manual said wash not dip in engine oil


Why would you dip it in Engine oil when you just washed off Engine oil

The oil prevents dirt from getting into the air/ fuel mixture in the carburettor. It's almost useless to have an air filter without oil in it.
The screenshot it from Firman USA.

Charley2020:
What about the air filter? Do you clean it yourself? How easy is it?

Everything is in the manual, just read. To clean just wash with warm water and soap, rinse with warm water then dry. When its completely dried of water, soak it in clean engine oil, squeeze (take note, dont twist it, you'll end up damaging it if you do) out the oil, then put back into the gen.

Charley2020:
I just bought an SPG 3000 Firman generator, and I'm wondering how often people service big generators that have a separate engine oil compartment.

I've only ever owned an "I pass my neighbor" generator (the type that requires a gasoline/engine oil mixture to run), and it needed servicing every 3 weeks when used daily.

Please if you have a generator that has a separate oil compartment, let me know how often you use and service it.

Note: Servicing = opening up the generator and removing the carbon deposits, not changing the oil.

Thanks

Read your manual. Since the gen is new, your first time oil change should be more sudden than normal. Some manufacturers require you to do this after using the gen for 40 hours, check yours. After the first change, you can do subsequent change of oil after 60-70 hours, also depends on what you have in your manual.

Pls kindly permit me to post this js here. I was using my whatsapp with no issue only for me to get this message below from the whatapp app.

PS: I have never used gb whatsapp with my number.

What happens if you download WhatsApp again and try to login?

oyaskii:
Has anyone noticed that, if you are looking for any vid tutorials on Redmi Devices or any general videos on Redmi Devices for that matter recently, on YouTube, it is mostly done by Indian guys who 90% of the time speak in Hindi. I thought my YouTube algorithm was broken, so i even added English to my search query and I still end up with a buttload of hindi tutorials that are practically useless to me.

Is it that, English tech creators do not particularly care for the Redmi brand enough to post vids about them on YouTube or what?

India is the number one market for Xiaomi. Secondly, people from Europe still buy Iphones, Samsung phones and Google pixels more than Chinese phones partly because of contracts.
Lastly those in the US who use Xiaomi phones had to go through the back door because Xiaomi is not officially in the US.

lanre316:
If it were me, I would buy none of those. I would go for Samsung Galaxy A35

Galaxy A35 not even announced yet, abi na typing error?

GabrielYulaw:
No part in particular. Just been hearing a few folks here complain of lack of spare parts availability.

Parts are available, just find your way to a care centre or get a competent engineer to help you when you have major repairs to carry out.

GabrielYulaw:
I thought that you people were saying that Thermocool gen spare parts no dey again?

Na similar parts dem dey use. Which part in particular are you referring to?

Lowlah1623:
Hello everyone. Such an amazing thread here. Please I know you may have gotten this question over and over again but please I need advise on a gen to buy,fuel efficient too ooo,preferably 3.5kva,just to carry TV fridge and my thermocool deep freezer. Someone recommend corolla to my hubby and am like, hollup 😒 which one is corolla again?! Abeg has anyone used this? I can't find any reviews. The heat in this Lagos is smh please this is urgent. We have been using this thermocool Gen for over 10 years now but the thing is choping fuel! Economy isn't smiling either. Please I need advise on genuine brands. We once used a fireman ruby line, not
sure if it still exists. I can't tag all the handles but abeg🙏. Help a toddler mum.

Forget that corolla. Go for Thermocool, Firman or Maxi. Since you are talking about fuel economy, if your freezer is not too big, get a 2.5kva gen instead.

Mustiboy:
A friend of mine wanted to buy the Redmi Note 13 Pro today.

I told him it's a waste of money and that he should look for a used flagship Xiaomi device. I actually helped him look for one.

We finally settled for a 260k Xiaomi Mi 11 from Jiji.

I saved him almost 100k. He has been thanking me since morning, saying the phone looks too good to be true. Damn gorgeous.


My point is, these new midrange phones from Xiaomi aren't worth it given our falling currency. Leave tear-nylon smartphone for people in countries with stable currencies.


Just get yourself a used flagship and enjoy pro-level performance, camera, screen, and build quality.


'nuff said.

You try .

milanseedorf:
Chrome cant be uninstalled naa

Ooo, I forgot its a preinstalled app.

milanseedorf:
I recently updated my poco f5 os to hyper os and to my surprise i got a dual chrome by default and now i am not being able to deactivate it

Uninstall the main chrome and download it again from playstore.

GrandMufti:
Lol.

Make he dey manage am like that. My hand no dey

Smh. .

NeoWanZaeed:
They're not serious fa. Keeping users in stone age lol

Redmi 12 is supposed to be a low end device. Some features have to be stripped off either so the device can run smoothly or to differentiate it from higher devices. I know of some low end Samsung galaxy A series that doesn't have the cast/mirror feature.

NeoWanZaeed:
The control center is still old one ..and no options to change it.

Seems that's what they planned for redmi 12. It has been like that since I bought it

Yes, that's the plan, just like the 13c.

tessy990:
Redmi phones are no longer affordable

Na the new catch be this for manufacturers. Imagine almost 64K for extra 256gig strorage! 8 gig ram is more than sufficient for that processor. For the extra almost 64k one can get a 1 Terabyte SSD and use as external memory/ backup, there will still be enough change to buy accessories like a good earpiece plus screen protector .

Modified: I nr even see the price of the pro+ version. The Poco f5 is obviously a better deal.

Broskyjames:
I fear more people will be pushed to get used devices with fairly decent specs now, than buying a device that sports the Snapdragon 685 for above 200k in 2024 😩

That's definately the way to go now.

haryourdayG:
Attached is what I got when I followed the command. Thanks for your timely response boss.

Ooo, ok. It means you should head to the Xiaomi tweaking thread. You'll need to flash TWRP to properly unroot the phone.
Before then, try to turn off USB debugging before opening the banking app. Some bank apps like First Bank won't work with it turned on

Benjaminy:
Alright Boss. Happy new year. Don't mind my New username. It's still benstino. Nairaland was taking too much of my time, so I deleted the account. Now,f2 pro don carry me come.

So, I've already taken the phone to Computer village Abuja, and a technician opened it. He removed and reinserted the power flex, but it didn't power on. I've seen a familiar problem on youtube, and it got fixed through another means. I've sent the link to the guy. Down here, they just seem reluctant or can I say afraid of working on Poco phones. Maybe I'll just keep it aside for anyday I find a technician who's well versed in fixing Poco phones. Most I see online resides in Lagos

Oga Benstino, long time oo, happy new year to you too . Sorry for the experience jare, many of those so called engineers are just lazy.

Benjaminy:
Left it to charge overnight. Still didn't help. The indicator was still showing red throughout. Can't Boot to fast mode cos the power button stopped working a long time ago, and I had to use schedule power on for almost a year, though never allowed it to power off

Oooo, that power button is needed now. At this point the back cover of the phone has to be opened. I have seen cases like this where just removing the power flex and putting it back solved the issue. You can check YouTube on how to open it up or take it to a technician to help you.
After opening the phone , you should be able to turn up the phone by directly pressing on to the power flex.

Benjaminy:
My poco f2 pro shut down and has refused to power on. When I insert a charger,it only shows red on the notification light while the screen is blank. Has never fallen down, didn't come in contact with water. The battery was never faulty and was 45 percent before it shut down. Gone around Abuja and they appear clueless about what might have caused it,even in computer village. I'm just super annoyed

Leave it to charge for like an hour. Have you tried to enter into either fastboot or recovery mode?

haryourdayG:
Attached is the picture when I used root checker app

Of course it has lost root access because a new rom or an update was carried out on it. Have you held both the power button and volume up to go to recovery mode? I want to see if your recovery is custom or not. Check if it shows TWRP or Redwolf.

haryourdayG:
Hi guys, good evening. I found out my Xiaomi 12s ultra that was bought as used is partially rooted. How do I get it unrooted considering the device wasn't fully rooted and it's also preventing me from using some bank apps. Thanks in anticipation of your feedback.

Check if magisk is installed to be sure it was rooted using magisk. If that's the case, you will need to flash magisk uninstall. Wait, power off the phone first, then press power button and volume up. You can snap what you see with another phone. This your issue is suppsosed to be treated in the Tweak thread.

MrrKay:
Please Brothers.
Which device is better.

Redmi note 10s (6gb ram/128gb rom) or
Camon 19 (6gbram/128gb rom)


Please help

Redmi note 10s of course.

Mercie03:
Good day bro!
Please, can I get 'follow come' redmi note 9 battery from your end?

I dont sell batteries oo.

iamoyindamola:
How are you enjoying the display
I got one yesterday and I am not feeling the resolution for such long phone

You got yourself a low end phone with HD display, not full Hd. The display in question is also an average LCD display so dont expect it to be great. One catch oems use to catch customers these days is huge ram and internal memory.
