I want to buy a 5000kva generator. I want to buy TEC from thermocool but some people are advising against it.
What is your advice?

You mean 5kva? What's the advice against it, TEC is good.

AyarmBoye:
someone said forthnightly another said monthly

It can even be once in 6 months, it depends on usage. It's the number of hours thar matters. If you run your gen 10 hours everyday, you'll need to change oil weekly, if it runs 5 hours everyday then once in two weeks, and so on.

AyarmBoye:
its okay now I changed the oil and it’s working well now ..... how often do I change the oil of a generator I use almost everyday?

You can change after using for between 50-60 hours.

darkhorizon:
Is it advisable to get a used flagship as opposed to a new midrange?

It depends on which flagship and midrange you are comparing and also on the condition of the used flagship. It also depends on your scale of preference in a phone.

PureMe01:
Please who is using Poco X3...how d camera be??

If you eventually get to see someone using it, he/she will most likely not have a note 9 pro to do a side to side comparison with. If you're planning to upgrade just because of camera, then leave midrange devices alone for now, get a flagship.

paradigmshift:
i no like am

What of Poco F2 pro?

lawrenceunaa:
Please is there an app that will let me pick calls with my fingerprint sensor just like in my other infinix. Using RN9S

Don't think you'll find any. The fingerprint sensor also doubles as the power button, receiving calls with it will make it more cumbersome. Tapping the power button when calls come in silences the ring tone; I am just wondering what the phone will think of doing if such feature is enabled - pick call or silent the ring tone? By the way, assuming such feature is baked into the phone, I won't advise you to use it frequently because your power button will become weak sooner than expected.

is my battery life over?

It is finished .

I still frown when I see people using flash to take pictures in daytime.

Hehehehe, especially ladies, won't forget one that told me to increase her screen's brightness to the maximum before snapping her, so that the pictures go dey brighter .

JamOSneh:
I really appreciate bro i think it work, since I did wat u asked me to do, it as stopped pressing itself for now,

You should know that if even a drop of liquid is on your screen, this can happen too.

Phraences:
Seems Xiaomi phones have a lot of issue cos ba only complaints full this place.

How come we have over 8000 pages, think well .

Melst:
Another question please
The company specified engine oil SAE 20W-50 but my electrician bought Mobil Super 20W-50 XHP. Are they the same? Will it serve? Thanks so much.

What the company specified is SAE 10W-30, but the funny part is the one they provided is SAE 20W-50. If you can get the specified one, will be great.

N2K 1GB per day for 1 month in Nigeria won't be bad.

Even at 3k 1gig per day for a month, most Nigerians won't complain one bit.

Stephenmoka4:
I heard that India offer unlimited internet (less than N6,000 per month)

Not truly unlimited data. Best you can get is 2gig per day for at least 28 days with unlimited calls to all network for less than N1500 .

Hi guys, just got my dream phone "Redmi Note 9s" today and I've been slightly struggling with getting around a bit(due to d fact of being a Transsion user)

There's this app I use on my previous phone. It is a sort of shortcut to launch apps/widgets just by sliding and choosing which app you want. It's like a pill shaped button usually beside a phone screen. I can't seem to remember the name. And finding it on this phone is kinda exhausting(don't know if it has been scrapped by Android 10??).....mehn Mi setup is quite different from Transsion.

Go to settings and type 'quick ball' in the search bar. I think that's what you're looking for.

Grandma sabi take care of pikin very well

I give up sir, your mind is made up .

noobody:
I prefer the long run benefits,it should outweigh the cost.

It indeed outweighs the cost ooo.

aieromon:
You go buy inverter AC for the guy?

What happens to the Panasonic?

The price of getting an inverter AC is cheaper than a 5kva generator to power the Panasonic AC. My point is assuming powering up the AC with the generator is what is most important to him, then it's better to get an inverter AC and keep the plenty change. Moreover, looking at fuel economy, in the long run, he'll end up burning more fuel with a 5kva generator than a 2.5kva generator. If you then decide to power up the panasonic AC with the 5kva generator, that will burn even more fuel.
You asked what happens to the Panasonic AC if he gets an inverter AC? Same thing can be asked if he gets a new generator. If you ask me, I go say make e dey use the Panasonic with NEPA then switch to the inverter AC when using generator or make e dash person the Panasonic .

honsule:
i have a tecno 3 sims .

Oga sir, that tecno nr b wife ooo, na grandma .

aieromon:
His consumption falls under the heavy user category and I wouldn't recommend a 3kW generator even though the TEC wattage guide says otherwise. You shorten the lifespan of a generator when you load it all the time with high power demands.

Big man, big problem, the choice is his.

But inverter ac nr dey stress gen like dat na.

noobody:
Are these solar packages this guy's advertise here on nairaland a true substitute to reduce using one's generator?I am considering going for a 1KVA or something close package to power just TV,fans,sound system and energy saving bulbs,considering the high cost of about 185k,is it worth in the long run?
Been using generator for years now,thou cost of fueling not friendly,but at least it is reliable,can this solar inverter packages be that reliable too?because I understand all the solar guys are trying to advertise there biz,they would never tell you it would not last,hence why I need unbiased opinions

Sorry I digressed from the topic of generators we discuss here.

Cheers

See dis oga . Solar packages for sure are good investment in the long run provided you get original equipment plus you really know how to manage your energy usage. Na d money to set up b the major challenge for many.

fineboynl:
2.5kv will die within 3 months from powering inverter AC.

Are you sure about this?

honsule:
u have a point. this my RN4, like i will keep using it o

Of course you have to keep using it but marry one wife for am na .

Obedinho130:
where are all the users, answer na abeg. The phone is in my wish list

mathefaro already answered your question, there's no front flash but there's a notification led.

honsule:
very important question, we need an answer

I know you're more interested in the notification light part. As already been said, it has a tiny white notification led. You can't change the colour, it's just white for all notifications.

jboixxx:
.

U see why we cling to the note 4x for so long? Some features that are minor to some are major to others.

jurrsh:
fell into water that's all... when you on it it vibrates then the screen on and off immediately.. when I put it on charge it would just be blinking without showing anything... then also some red background shows at the top of the screen

Change your battery, phone should come back to life.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]Na "sakasim" it go be. [/color]

Hehehehe, dis kind 'saka' go cause confusion las las.

suco01:
When u will get TEC 3.8kva for 120k + at accredited sellers store..

Buy TEC odogwu

Are you sure of this price? Last time I checked, it was over 150k for their 3.5 kva gen.

aieromon:
The generator you got is rated 2.5 to 2.8kW max. You need to consider getting a generator with 5kW and above.

My suggestion : TEC Optima 7500RS rated 5.0 to 5.5kW max.

Don't you think it's far cheaper for him to get an inverter ac? He might not need the excess power from a 5.5Kw generator plus the extra fuel consumption.

jurrsh:
my redmi note 8 got spoilt and I'm looking to get the redmi note 9. but I'm getting discouraged cus of the fact that the note 8 has 4gb ram and the note 9 has a 3gb Ram... please can somebody explain to me why. and if the note 9 is better than the note 8

Wetin spoil the Redmi note 8? Maybe you can bring it back to life.

Baso2019:
Yes, you will loose any form of fast charging that you currently enjoy.
Since the upgrade my RN7 charges slower than my Tecno phones

Dis kind of response eh! Very wrong statement, there are people who updated their Redmi note 7 without this issue. Don't generalize.
