Phones / Re: Phantom 6 Intetnet Connectivity Problem by Ricmayak1: 3:12pm On Dec 26, 2016
Poster is right. Am having same issue with phantom 6 plus. I have earlier tried the suggestions given here but to no avail. I have even done permutations of several APN settings.
It will just refuse to keep browsing until you reset data again and this goes on over and over again.
When I tether service from another phone via wireless, all seem to be fine.
As I type, it still happens.
Am just waiting for OTA update that could fix this.

Check the speed sensor first.
Car Talk / Re: CRUISE CONTROL; Saves Or Uses More Fuel? by Ricmayak1: 3:55pm On Dec 24, 2016
Cruise control is good for not hilly roads and for speeds between 60km/hr to 100km/hr where the economy for many cars lie.

Kjnwancaro:


It's weird to see that your average speed is around 180 on Nigerian road but anyhow does it mean that using the cruise control on lower speed like 40-80 will also save fuel?

Yes and no
Car Talk / Re: Over Economic Camry Getting Me Worried. by Ricmayak1: 3:40pm On Dec 24, 2016
@poster. What you have explained is possible. Prior to repair, your engine was running rich. There is a possibility that the new A/F sensor attached to the exhaust manifold is faulty or not the correct replacement part, causing your engine to run very lean.

If that is the case, the engine might not last. In fact, it's failure can be catastrophic as the engine will be operating at very high internal/combustion temperature.

When an engine is running lean, it consumes less than normal quantity of fuel. When it runs rich, it consumes more than normal quantity of fuel.

Don't drive it harshly or do frequent long journeys yet.

Also ensure that your cooling system is sound at this time and I hope you are not using 20w50 viscosity oil. Regularly check your coolant level too.

@kjnwancaro. Yes.

@gazzuzz. No backtracking yet o! Just forward tracks with that oil o! Depends on which side of the fence you're sitting on.
People get a whole lots if information on the internet. But it boils down to which one to accept.

Oga Trygo, oya begin backtrack.

Aside usual tight tolerance issues, use of oil pressure to control timing, one important issue with the hybrid is; it is a high compression engine. 20w50 oil will easily degrade in it and will not also transfer the heat properly to cool the engine.

Ehn?? Who said that? That's final combat to the engine!
Car Talk / Re: What Is Tge Advantage Of Hybrid Cars Over Non Hybrids by Ricmayak1: 1:11am On Dec 20, 2016
Lower fuel consumption

Higher torque and acceleration compared to non-hybrid versions with similar engine capacity

Quiet

Can be used in accessory mode for a long time as the auxiliary battery is a deep cycle type (e.g playing music while car is off)

Iridium Spark plugs, brake pads last for about 100,000 miles

Car inverter can be used to power other appliances (not directly and at user's risk)

Environmentally friendly

Mostly come as high trim models, like XLE

In case of engine overheat, car can be managed easily to a safe destination or a mechanic workshop. You will simply drive gently, glide and take advantage of downhills to recharge battery

Less maintenance on electric power steering (no fluid), no belt driven Waterbury and AC compressor (not all)

The hybrid system is protected and reliable if we'll maintained

The Atkinson engine is reliable

There are several advantages of hybrid cars compared to non-hybrids.

Regards.

Gionee m6 plus has no HSPA+. One will be stuck with slower HSPA where there is no LTE.

Car Talk / Re: Pls Help With Number Of A Good Mechanic In Ibadan For Volks Passat 2009 by Ricmayak1: 8:39am On Nov 09, 2016
fullman:

Thanks . we just replaced the crankshaft and fuel pump.but the car didn't start. Someone say the car needs reprogramming to start .I am confused.
What could make it not start.

Your request for competent Mechanic is good. They may have set the timing incorrectly.

They may mistakenly erase the key program too

It could also be as minor as a sensor wire open/short circuit

A scan will give a good lead in troubleshooting this

Avoid coasting! That's when the clutch is fully depressed (pushed down to the floor) while the car is moving.

Car Talk / Re: 5 Ways Your Car Tyres Will Help You Save On Petrol During This Recession. by Ricmayak1: 5:13am On Oct 05, 2016
Note: Newer tires have higher rolling resistance than worn ones hence, the newer one will give lower fuel economy. But when a tire has worn out too much, it looses lots of traction, that affects fuel economy negatively.

Again, tires with higher inflation pressure give higher fuel economy because of reduced rolling resistance. There is a point of diminishing return where too much pressure causes loss of traction.

"Gabriel Yemi Jimo Rtd Perm sec, Comrade Ajayi & Gani Ajibola (youths leader).. are the main brain behind all these ugly situations... No wonder comrade Ajayi on behalf of Share Community are trying to dissociate Share community despite the fact that five (5) Share suspects have been arrested in state CID."

The suspects in custody have named some Share politicians that sponsored the recent and past killings of Tsaragi people by Share youths. They also confessed that those Share politicians supplied them those high caliber ammunitions.

If all I have said is true, the blood of these innocent ones that were killed, including a child will cry out against you.
Crime / Re: Farmers Killed By Suspected Herdsmen In Kwara State (Graphic Pics) by Ricmayak1: 9:15pm On Aug 04, 2016
There are times when arms inside coffin which Share people were bringing into town were intercepted by security agents. They have always enjoyed the support of their sons in power.

Since the Share people have realized that they cannot contend with Tsaragi people in battle, they have resorted to the guerilla style of attack with very high caliber weapons.

Nupes are widely known to be very peaceful people.

Once more, fulanis have nothing to do with this killing. I urge the government to get to the root of this crisis once and for all.

Best regards.
Crime / Re: Farmers Killed By Suspected Herdsmen In Kwara State (Graphic Pics) by Ricmayak1: 9:08pm On Aug 04, 2016
One thing the share people are good at is propaganda. During the last communal clash, the nupes were caught unaware, they have never in the history of the clashed premeditated any fight. The provocation is always from the yorubas.

When casualty is recorded on both sides, the gather their own dead bodies, run to Ilorin to advertise that the takpas (what they call nupes) have killed them. They are good at running to the media to lie, same they have just done again.

I appeal to relevant authorities not to let this matter lie until the sponsors are punished accordingly.
Crime / Re: Farmers Killed By Suspected Herdsmen In Kwara State (Graphic Pics) by Ricmayak1: 8:51pm On Aug 04, 2016
Fellow nairalanders,

Let me bring the truth to light. These people are nupes who were attacked by yoruba people who used very high caliber weapons they acquired because of history of communal clash between Tsaragi and Share.

Five out of the six attackers have been arrested and are presently in police custody. They are all yorubas from Share community. They are being sponsored by highly placed politicians from Share. Some of them have previously been indicted by commission of enquiry on previous crisis but today, they are in power.

The issue is, Share is a small community and they coveted the Ifelodun local government head quarter from Babanloma (also yorubas). Till date, they are sworn enemies. Just imagine, Ifelodun local government is very big, Share is nowhere close to the center, it's at the extreme end which is boundary with nupe community. Now as a LG HQ, they need land for expansion but always want to take it by force from nupes.
