noblefarm:
why from China, no sellers in Nigeria here?

There may be. But I bought mine in China. You can search NL and see if there are sellers.

I believed they aim to do good but this Country Nigeria won't let them, SEC HAS NOT giveN them the WARRANT, they need. This Pic is the Latest on DW-AREBEN as at September 2021. They are attempting to refund Capital to investors.

If you believe the screenshot you attached, then you'll believe anything.

I agree,edifier is rugged.Mine is almost 6 months old,it has never had any issue despite my agressive daily usage of it.

Edifier for life

Jeremiahdaniel:
Please is there anyone that has used the oraimo freepods 3 and is it any good??
Because i was thinking of buying either it or Edifier tws1 pro. Thanks in advance for answering.

Go for Edifier. I'm using one now, almost a year of rugged use and no wahala so far.

Case and sometimes the earbuds had taken so many nasty falls, but stuff still works with awesome battery life. By the way the one I'm using is Edifier NB2 earbud

Lacomb:
If you have Alibaba app installed on your phone, try uninstalling it, that seems to have solve my own issue.

You are the bomb! Thanks a lot. I have Alibaba app installed, uninstalled it and so far so good on my Bluetooth connectivity issue

I'm hopeful this will be permanent. Damn, what's in the app that's conflicting with Google Pixel's connectivity?

Wow.

waploger:
update issue.... before you update your phone first check out reviews of people who have tried the new update.

Hoping the next update will come with a fix. Meanwhile running my phone on Safe Mode fixes this issue.

solaceTK:
Next line of action towards recovering my laptops has been activated, demand letter has been served

Here's hoping you get your money back or at least your goods.

Lacomb:
I think it's a pixel thing, noticed the same issue with pixel 4xl

Wow, the thing is very annoying. I hope they solve it with their next update.

Thank you.

Only solar panels are advertised everywhere, but it is important to remember that there is no country where the sun shines 365 days a year, so we should think about alternatives. I bought the Deep Cycle Hybrid GEL Battery so that I always have the opportunity to get power.

Congratulations

How much did you get this plus shipping?

Auskyd:
It's a bug. Wait for the next update. That should fix it. Try resetting the phone. It helps some times.

I've gone to System Setting>Reset Option>Reset Wi-Fi, mobile and Bluetooth to reset this option.

The problem still persists, I'm not very keen to do a full phone reset as I may lose a lot of valuable data. Let's hope an update may help out on this.

Thanks a lot

My Google Pixel 3XL running on the latest Android 11 OS is having a weird Bluetooth connectivity issue. My bluetooth earbud connects without issue but still music plays via phone speaker. Music may intermittently play on bluetooth earbud and without any warning automatically cut off playing via Bluetooth earbud, while bluetooth earbud is STILL CONNECTED to the phone even with the BT earbud displaying battery capacity left on the phone, while the sound reverts to play on phone speaker.

I thought it was the particular Bluetooth earbud issue and I've tried other earbuds with similar result of leaving the earbud connected while sound plays via the phone speaker.

These earbuds performs without any issue on other phones.

This issue started like two days ago...everything was just awesome until then.

Anyone got a fix?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, boss.

Lol...if the price was 70usd in 2017 and it now sells for 73.30usd (less than 3.5usd increase. I want to assume that the 90.30usd pice they struck out is a marketing gimmick), then it means the price inflated by less than 5% in 4 years. E no bad at all.

Meanwhile, abeg which one should be pick in the highlighted option, and can the inverter carry stuffs like fridge?

Read the reviews, and note the stated power is the peak power and the running power is like half. So a 1600w has like 700w running power. I doubt any of these inverter is ok to run a fridge for long. The starting surge may damage it. Also remember the inverter has no internal battery charger.

The type you buy depends on what you plan to power, and yes our frequency is 50Hz @ 220/230v.

odimbannamdi:
This is cool. Nice one boss. Could you please provide the links to buy the oscilloscope and pure sinewave inverter you used in your experiment?

Here is the link for the portable oscilloscope and here is the link for the transformerless pure sinewave inverter.


Bought the oscilloscope in 2015 for $70

OkoroPeugeot:
What's the performance of the Pure Sine model like?

Is the 4000w tag real? Can the surge carry 1hp Sumo pump?

I have one that looks like that in my cart on AE but fear de do me to buy

Not 4000w.

If you look closely at the inverter you'll see where they stated that the peak power is 1000w and actual power is 500w. But I plan to only power devices less than 200w with it and non of them will involve appliances with 2x to 5x starting power.

This is is my mobile inverter for use on the move.

Most free DHL shipping (for items less than $100) may not be shipped via DHL, it doesn't mean they are fraudulent. When you make the order, they will often tell you to cancel and reorder that they can't ship with DHL or offer to give you a non existent DHL tracking while shipping with other shipping method to avoid AE from sanctioning them.

I think some of these sellers that sell loads of goods don't even realise the shipping method they attach to some certain goods.

Any seller that does not reply me on a weekday after two days is already in my blackbook. I won't buy from such seller.

The only time I buy an item with zero reviews is when the store has only few items, with great number of followers (often top brand from AE) and other listed items have great reviews and the item I'm buying is less than $15

Eg check out attached screenshot.

Mood11:
He is a pure Igbo. BOY SCAMMING UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE...

Ehmmmm...can we just say he's a scammer or fraudster without throwing ethnic colouration to the crime?

Scammers are available in every tribe on earth.

When I heard his exchange rate I know it was too good to be true...and my grandma used to tell me once a deal is too good to be true, that it's usually is.

Peace.

In the business of inverter, you get what you pay for. Just checked out my Suoer modified Sinewave Inverter and a random transformerless pure Sinewave inverter. The portable oscilloscope just showed me what I already know. Lol

Oraimo makes cheap earbuds that'll fail when you least expect it.

ceaser:
Now this.

From the stable of Growatt.

Lithium ion? Ok, would've prefered lifepo4. Anyways dem dey fear to put price?

haslaw:
They have not credited my account because I would have known because I have been checking constantly and I also don't keep money in the account. I only transfer money into the account whenever I want to make purchases.

The refund has not been made yet.

Wait till the 20 business days is over and contact your bank if you didn't get the refund

AkProsper:
Who will bear this loss now?
Ordered for an item, was charged about N477/$. For some reason seller made refund. Now UBA credited me at N417/$.

GTB charged me ₦460 and refunded ₦440...I guess the difference is the "cost of doing business with the bank"

BoldassBadasser:
What does a custom bill looks like?? Does it come as a document or something??

Whose account are am i paying into, custom account or a personal account??

I just want to make sure that they are not extorting me.

In some they'll give you an account to pay to. Others you just pay cash and get a receipt.

haslaw:
Ok.. Thanks so much.

Pls do you have any idea how I can secure or even hasten the refund I am expecting?

They may have refunded you without your bank giving you an SMS alert. Just to be sure, log into your bank app or web and check your account transaction history

BoldassBadasser:
How do I know this sir??

You care to explain why you think so??

I need vital information to nail them when I get there.

I've paid ₦7000 as duty from EMS to receive a device as small as a USB flash drive. EMS got crazy fees. After that day I vowed never to use EMS to ship anything to Nigeria. Next time have your friend hand it over to a trusted relative to bring down to Nigeria or use the services of third party shippers. EMS got crazy billing!

DavisBloom:
Sorry this is coming late
Well, I've tried making calls in different noisy environments I found myself and communication wasn't an issue.

That's a huge plus. You got a good earbud.

seankafor:
I have a Dom account with this same zenith..
I don't know why zenith will act this way..

Am going to ditch them very soon..

All Nigerian bank has a monthly spend limit of $100/month on their naira MasterCard/Visa debit card; it's not just a Zenith Bank thing.

seankafor:
so what should i do now

You have many alternatives.

1) Ask seller to split payment into four and pay with 4 naira debit card, or

2) Open a dorm account and fund it with dollars sourced from the parallel market, or

3) Try any of the online payment platform such as
barter

seankafor:
I never use even 1 naira from the card sef..

Which Bank and how much are you trying to pay?

seankafor:
What's the meaning of this

Meaning is on the screenshot na...you've exceeded your monthly limit
