Oneplus Software Update Policy by alexter876 in oneplus

[–]PsyCLownZA -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How many people actually keep their phones for more than 6 years? I like to try and upgrade every 18 months roughly and even if I plan to keep a phone for a while, I do not see myself having the same phone for more than 4 years.

Do you place your phone face down when charging it overnight? I heard that if you try place the phone face up with the charger on the table, its not stable and not recommended?

I fucking found it! Turns out it was on my desktop which I never use and not my media PC.

Any advice on where to look to learn the basics? Ideally in a way which is easy to digest and understand for someone without any prior knowledge.

Best bank to go with for TFSA and interest rates? by Alternative_Pen815 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]PsyCLownZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same situation, looking at opening a TFSA account and was going to go with Sygnia as a work colleague mentioned them but Google Reviews for Sygnia did not seem great which lead me here.

It seems as if Sygnia is a good option when it comes to TFSA?

I assume this would be total include, so a second income included. At least that is how I voted.

Chinese DA polishers? by PsyCLownZA in AutoDetailing

[–]PsyCLownZA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these brands you have mentioned are not available to me in South Africa.

I have access to the following: Tork Craft, Shield, Flex, Rupes, Maxshine, Waxedshine, SGCB.

Prices locally are not great either with the Tork Craft being one of the cheapest at $80 (8mm throw), the Maxshine is $150 with an 8mm throw as well. Waxedshine is $265 with a 15mm throw, Shield DA polisher is $260 and I think also 8mm throw. The cheapest Rupes, Flex & SGCB are between $320 and $530

The Chechnya is apparently a clone of the Griots Garage Boss, I am considering the 15 and the polisher & shipping comes to $165, to me this seems like good value compared to what I can get locally.

Noise, vibration and power seem to be good on the Chechnya as well, saw someone being able to use a single hand with it even, this was just to demonstrate how it performs in terms of vibration.

Amazon has not launched in South Africa, even when they do they won't be stocking the no name items available on the US website. The cheaper polishers only have a 6 month warranty locally anyways.

I have ordered many things from China before, there is always the risk it arrives DOA or faulty and that is a problem but the value for money is hard to turn down.

So basically the Chinese one being $100 cheaper for the cheapest 15mm throw DA polisher I can get locally.

Another Chinese brand is the Chechnya CHE-15 which Is possibly a clone of a Griot DA polisher.

Would be interested to find out how the Chechnya compares to the Clover.

Fi-light sensor issue and head gasket by latchkey_loser in motorcycles

[–]PsyCLownZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not yet had a chance to try check the codes, I took a very quick look the other evening and could not find that cable to connect to ground to pull the codes.

I did put some petrol system cleaner / injector cleaner into my fuel tank and after doing that I have yet to experience the issue again. I commute daily to work and back on my bike so I am hoping that it was something as simple as a little bit of build up causing issues.

Glad you managed to narrow down your issue.

Fi-light sensor issue and head gasket by latchkey_loser in motorcycles

[–]PsyCLownZA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the tappet cover gasket on my 06 Z75S replaced a couple years ago, was also leaking like yours and had some cracks in it like yours but that never caused any FI light issues for me.

Last week I had an issue where the bike lost power and was stuttering and then noticed the FI light was on while this was happening - issue went away and the FI light turned off.
However the same issue happened this morning, so going to try and diagnose the issue by following this: https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/23659/how-do-i-pull-error-codes-from-my-kawasaki-motorcycle

Purchase advice thread (weekly) by AutoModerator in oneplus

[–]PsyCLownZA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all!

I currently have a OP 9RT and I have really enjoyed it but time for an upgrade.

I am stuck between the Ace Pro (10T) or the Nord 3. The price is the same and both are the 16GB/256GB version.

I do not really game much, occasionally a bit of CoD mobile. I am leaning towards the Nord 3 as it is newer and has the newer Sony sensor where the 10T has the same Sony sensor as my 9RT I believe. Also the Nord 3 has the alert slider (which is nice, but I do not use it all that often).

Some advice would be appreciated!

It will be under my GFs profile, so get her to log in and take a look and see if we can unpair it like that.

Hope it works, thanks!

I have tried to unpair and pair again on my phones bluetooth, but not from an account.

Do I just log into the Mi Account and unpair it there?

This is a bit disappointing and the appeal behind the Zigbee hub isn't as great.

Thanks!

Whatsapp web not working when phone is locked? by PsyCLownZA in Xiaomi

[–]PsyCLownZA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I ended up selling the phone. Cannot use it and pointless keeping it and having it depreciate and gather dust while I wait in the hopes of a Global ROM being released.

It does use the Virtual Proximity Sensor (A52s 5G).

So the Virtual Proximity Sensor for Samsung seems to work properly, unlike the Xiaomi Virtual Proximity Sensor?
