You will know from the model number. The sellers will never tell you this.

The Carrier locked versions that will never receive updates are always advertised for cheap and inviting prices. Always ask the seller if it will receive updates, and ask for the model number so that you can verify, these sellers always try to dodge when you ask for the model number, they will give excuses because they are very much aware that if they give you that information you will most likely not purchase the item.


Always go for models that end with these alphabets: B/DS, U1.

These are the models that will receive updates guaranteed, they are factory unlocked. Any other versions will give you problems.

Well noted. Thank you for the info..

nani667:
Always buy Factory Unlocked versions 👍🏼

But how do I know a factory unlocked version?
I actually thought this was an unlocked version

Lesson learned

If not your phone otilor 😹

I read somewhere that it's the January security patch that activates the carrier lock, that previous updates have no issue.

Although, I'm suspending the motive for now

morikee:
I thinks your device might have been running a patched version of the OS maybe it comes network locked so they patch and unlock it if you force update via Odin you might end up with locked device or emergency call only

So in this case, should I reflash the android 14 firmware to correct the patch?
Model is SM-S921U

Just look update your phone. The latest version is good, fast as save battery life.
Update online will download each updates step by step without skipping any till you get to the lastest version

I have checked for updates OTA but there's no update, rather I got a message that my device is up to date. I even used smart switch, yet no update

Hi,
My Samsung S24 is stuck on android 14 one UI 6.5 and I intend to flash adroid 16 one UI 8.5 manaully with Odin. Hope there's no issue bypassing one UI 7?

Also, If you're currently on one UI 8.5, l will appreciate if you can share some information regarding the battery life and overall performance of the phone after the update.

Check your email. I was also interviewed yesterday

Thermodynamics:
It's not a company like that, someone got a drilling contract and employed about 200 workers to executive the job so no ID card or offer letter. My fear with drilling jobs is that it's mostly contract based, once the oil well is drilled, everyone goes home.

Take it bro... That experience will give you an edge to land another role in the oil and gas sector.... Whenever you go to the field, try as my much as possible to build connections with other engineers.

But the contractor is supposed to give you an engagement letter though.

Thermodynamics:
Hello, i am confused i am a graduate with a bachelor degree in engineering, i resigned my peanut engineering paying job so i can get into
business, specifically phone repair business (flashing + unlocking phones) and maybe sell phone as well, only for me to get a job offer of working for an oil drilling company with a 200k salary, the job as no employment letter or company ID card and it's a 3week on 1week off job.

I started having double thoughts, from my experience most salary jobs in Nigeria are rubbish and I've read so many bad things about oil drilling jobs but at the same time businesses do fold up and sometimes it feels like flashing phones for a living is not a lucrative business, it feel kind of unserious.

I am just confused, don't know what to do at this point. Please i need advice

The company ought to have sent official offer letter and prepared a work ID for you. I'd believe the company offers drilling services to clients and maybe it's a start-up.
Before you take a final decision, Request for the offer letter. If after you made the request and they refused, then don't resume. But if you're given the letter, accept it.
Yes, the salary is not much, but you can leverage the experience to get a better offer after sometime....

Please is there a guarantee that trainees will be retained into full time staff?

I have no idea about that sir... You can confirm from them when you resume.

okoroko:
Congratulations 🎉👏 I got a call from ... Sterling HR. He called to request for my CV. He later called to ask for my State of Origin and DOB. The position is Field Operation. Kindly share your interview experience with me.

Please check your email. Let's connect

NaijaGoBetter2:
Dis one de collect red card from Rasmus Højlund wey no fit score empty post

Like ehn.... Person wey don already miss that chance. I just dey feel for Martinez for the red card. No be for person like Hojlund him suppose get that card

enambobo:
Omo you're mixing up things. What I know is GTs in banks earn 400-500k currently (UBA, Access and GTB). It's on the job training and they pay normal. It goes higher after trainee period. Oil and gas can't be any different unless they are not payed salaries but allowance only which I doubt. Please fact check before you reply.

Bros go and make your research. Banks don't pay that much while you're in training school.

And just so you know, most indigenous servicing companies don't pay much during training period. In fact, Dover even told applicants that the salary is between 150k to 200k during the training period in the interview

enambobo:
I know what you mean. What we're talking about here is the exact Graduate trainee salary not allowance. Some GTs don't pay salaries during the short training spell. They pay allowance. So the main salary is what we're talking about.

Yes Dover is an indigenous oil and gas company but their staffs are well taken care of. Do your research and you'll find out that not a single full time staff is complaining about their salary. It's only the contract staffs that complain and wish they could be paid like full time staffs. It's a happy company to work with as per reviews.

We're not talking about full time staff...
Trainees are not full time staff...

enambobo:
If graduate trainees in banks earn up to 400k-500k, how much more so graduate trainees in a reputable oil and gas firm? He may be right. In short he's more right than wrong. Note again that this is not a contract staffing recruitment. It's direct.

In the bank, graduate trainees don't earn up to such during their training period... It is after confirmation that they're paid such high figures. Go and make your research...

Dover is an indigenous oil servicing company so don't expect much for a start....

ezenwaez:
Overall average ₦400,000 to ₦500,000 for graduate trainee.

This is not true. Training period is between 150k to 200k. It may get up to the 400k you quoted after confirmation

Onyipeter20:
Allowance is 150k
Any update after the interview?
Can I join the group?

Send an email, let me send you the link

Hunter102:
I'm in job groups too.

I'm not sure you're in the right groups, else you will know more about the recruitment process.
People in the Dover WhatsApp group I am in, got called and already did interview.
It's none of my business if you don't believe.

Hunter102:
I should leave HR mail that said next step is still yet to come. More over, some received mail for online assessment yesterday. I'm in job groups too.

Lol... Bro calm down o... So the one I sent here is not from their HR right?
Lol.... It's fine... Shalom
