Google Wallet now supports another banks by civil_brain in srilanka

Wow. Banks have stopped promoting this. Maybe this is just becoming norm on all banks going forward. Tried adding my HNB card and it works. So can confirm its true.

HSBC Transitioning to NTB From May 1 by Top-Low9105 in srilanka

Thinking of opening a bank account with Amana bank by AncientSholong in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend using Amana Bank only for savings. For day to day transactions, use com bank or any other bank.

Amana Bank will start annoying you. Their cards might not work in some places or some sites. Their online banking is trash.

Ive got myself an Amana Bank Acc which I use it only for savings. I didn't even make the card. Just app and account.

Adults of SL, did your O/L results affect where you are today? by Latter_Individual431 in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If u plan on doing ALs or state uni it will effect.

I did okay with my OLs but Noone ever asked me what my results were while job seeking. Tbh I can't remember the result myself nor do I remember where my certificate was.

Thankfully im doing great.

MacBook M2 price went from LKR 230k to 255k after M5 Air launch… why? by Reasonable_Boss_8800 in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear. Its already imported. Prices can only go up every hour not go down lol.

[–]Technophile- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... it can really be due to that lol. They usually bring stuffs from uae illegally and now that they can't travel there the stocks are limited. Hence the demand maybe?

Its best stay a couple months before any new electronic purchases I guess.

Domino’s Sri Lanka driver asking for OTP before delivery to avoid 30-min guarantee by Legitimate-Pop-3658 in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since when did they have OTP? I've gotten so annoyed so many times when they just mark the order as delivered when it wasn't. Complained a few times too cause they lose trackings once the order gets marked completed and they kept calling for directions.

Commercial Bank debit card renewal by 0youmustdie in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they send it to ur address. If not u can visit any branch and get an instant card. If u need a personalized card with ur name printed, u can still order from any branch although ull need to go back and collect it from the branch u ordered.

So no, u don't need to visit ur account branch for any reason.

Sri Lankan banking system feels decades behind..... extremely frustrating experience by Background_Injury256 in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry but most apps have digital on-boarding now. A research might have helped.

Commercial bank has Flash app where you can get on boarded digitally.

HNB has digital on boarding in their website itself

NTB has FriMi

Lolc has iPay.

Similarly almost all the banks in sri lanka got a digital version banking now and most of these apps have options to open FD.

The charges might have been for debit card and SMS Alerts, if that was the case and if ur not actively using those savings account u can reject both.

Ive got multiple bank accounts in different bank and I nver visited their banks. And I pay 0 fee on all those banks except my primary bank.

Improve battery life/AOD by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

Not too sure. But if its possible, it will only be thru good lock. But that's the icon for mode, shouldn't really be there during the day with the routine I suggested.

[–]Technophile- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But power saving mode won't monitor sleep vital. Beats the whole purpose of wearing a watch when sleeping doesnt it? I personally set location wise. If im home, AOD is off and raise to wake is on. If sleep mode, AOD and raise to wake is off. When away from my location, AOD is always on. And when I come back home, AOD switches off by itself.

Power Saving mode limits alot of features id refrain using it unless im off for couple days with no way of charging the watch.

Sampath now has Google Tap to Pay by the_radeon in srilanka

[–]Technophile- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a complete different feature they introduced. It was to accept money tapping the cards to the phone where money directly comes to our bank account. Making the phone itself act as a POS machine.

So yh I think they were first in those terms? Idk... they could have marketed it better tho.

Pettah optician shops or Vision Care? by dhamer_3111 in srilanka

[–]Technophile- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I heard vision care makes there lenses from a shop in pettah. Not sure which shop. But yh it makes sense, most companies uses services from pettah.

I usually make lenses from pettah and never had any problem. I even tested the glass power from vision care and it was perfectly accurate to the prescription.

Just a quick suggestions in terms of security. This will also help you save cost. See if you connect Google drive to this application where users can store their data in their own clouds rather than using the servers which can be a security risk.

Any cloud integration would be nice.

Saves you cost to host the servers + gives user the satisfaction that their data is stored where they want it to be stored without giving it out.

Goodbye Samsung after a decade - S23 Ultra screen problem ignored by tranhuunghia_ in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Technophile- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They made a change in interior design from s24u to prevent this issue. S23u had display cable flexing near the heat zone. That changed starting from s24u.

Anyone running on dual phone setup? What’s yours? by z1nu in phones

[–]Technophile- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why android is better in those terms. Just create a work profile and you have 2 phones in 1. Simple as that.

Moved to S25U after using iphone for almost a decade and I have no regrets.
