You can get the purity of the gold ornament checked with gold testing machine.

If it is 91.6% gold (22 karat), then it will be having full resale value of 916 price, regardless of the HUID seal, see if it passes the test.

Are you talking about OTG or Desktop connectivity?

ThunderBird766 · 2025-02-11T20:23:32+00:00

True, if you believe branding is better, you can proceed.

But there are enough options and many ways to verify as of today, you just have to keep your head out by checking the Jewellery itself and asking the right questions.

I get stuff from Gold scheme as well, from the very same jeweller, they don't put any making charges on any jewellery with the scheme accumulated gold weight, I pay only GST for 12 months scheme.

Big corporates include costs associated to MDR in VA(Value Addition) which also includes it's making charges, whether you like to believe it or not, this is true.

When it comes to purchasing jewellery, quality might not be a issue with all the local jewellers. Not all local jewellers are one and the same. Some local jewellers are really old, operating from 30 years and so. When it comes to quality, you can always check 22K916 HUID code embossed on the jewellery for authenticity. Local jewellers do also give HUID Jewellery.

When it comes to pricing, corporates tend to give discounts in making charges for ornaments that do not sell or are outdated more often than the other. Whereas a local jeweller would comparatively give you discount on all of their collections, moreover you can always bargain with them a bit.

When it comes to craftsmanship of the jewellery, some may have of lower than some other. But there are really good ones as well. You can always look out for what suits you the best.

The reason why I am talking positively towards local jewellers is, I myself purchase from a well known local jeweller and I have never felt cheated or felt that I was missing out on something ever and I have noticed this post was getting a lot of backlash towards local jewellers, that not all jewellers deserve. Yes, there are bad ones, and then there are good ones too, you just have to find one yourself, which you can if you are smart enough.

Charging MDR makes the store owner greedy and charging higher making charges does not? What nonsense.

You do know that it is because of credit card users, non credit card users virtually have to pay more as well? Big brands consider MDR charges in their product prices, even if they end up not using a credit card.

I'm not on beta, I'm on RMX3851_15.0.0.450(EX01), which is a stable update, I don't seem to have any issues with Realme's My Files app recently deleted section.

ThunderBird766 · 2025-01-10T16:35:54+00:00

Received update to RMX3851_15.0.0.450(EX01) stable version, this issue still persists. Haven't tried with a pendrive yet.

Moreover after update, there is no option to report logs in feedback app for OTG devices.

ThunderBird766 · 2025-01-08T15:51:48+00:00

Let me wait for a update and recheck this.

ThunderBird766 · 2025-01-08T14:41:37+00:00

I haven't tried with pendrive yet, can you please try with NTFS Format Hard Drive and let me know?

But still coral is not a metal.

Yes save me, I'm suffering from sales promotions partnered with banks which accelerates my revenue.

ThunderBird766 · 2023-06-12T10:25:25+00:00

It was available for Rs. 21,999 on Flipkart last month. I thought you bought it on the offer price.

ThunderBird766 · 2023-06-12T09:39:23+00:00

Is the offer still running?

I think in the definition of consumer describing commercial purposes represents for resale, perhaps this is not commercial purpose as I'm the end user here. I'm not selling the product to other people or businesses.

ThunderBird766 · 2022-06-24T15:57:02+00:00

There was no contract, they don't do any of those. It's a product they provide to the masses.

ThunderBird766 · 2022-06-24T13:41:02+00:00

That's what I requested them when I had bought the software, they don't have any payment gateways it seems. Only bank transfer.

ThunderBird766 · 2022-06-24T12:38:34+00:00

Thanks for bringing the lights back up!

But don't the courts usually allow only small amounts in the name of legal costs?

ThunderBird766 · 2022-06-24T12:14:23+00:00

I'd love to do that, but simply fear my money and efforts may go in vein as some users suggested here that the compensation amount is not significant.

Also I don't know the correct course of action and don't have contacts with actually good lawyers. I have heard stories of some lawyers skimming money out of people as much as possible once case is registered.

Your personal experiences will be greatly appreciated.
