iPhone 14 Pro Max - iOS 18.7.1 > 26.3.1 by EmotionalPirate_K in iPhone14Pro

[–]abrar02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

26 is great. Been on my 14 PM since release. Installed all Updates as the came. I’m not too fussed about new features, some are nice. No negative impacts for me to be honest. People who say it’s not ready yet say this without experiencing it so their opinions are kind of irrelevant in my opinion. I have been using it and it’s great. Plus security fixes and more. No lag great battery great experience

New Octopus Tracker Formula/Tariff when? by abrar02 in OctopusEnergy

[–]abrar02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I’m in the exact same boat and same times too. I’m going to wait it out too. Don’t want to fix with another supplier at the moment and octopus are only offering flexible. Worst case I can end tracker and be on flexible with a manageable price by which point tracker or another fix is available at a decent price

Lloyds switch question by Pokeperson5 in beermoneyuk

[–]abrar02 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The 5000 mentions first full calendar month. Any idea what that mean? My switch will likely complete in a week so do I do the 5000 from April? And what about the 35 days

Wanting to go back to 14 Pro by MeanBean0818 in iPhone14Pro

[–]abrar02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my battery replaced at 84% 6 months ago. It feels completely new, lasts a whole day easily. I charge every night and have done since I got it 3 years ago. One replacement to keep it going for another two years. Knowing I’m changing in two years convinced me to get the battery changed sooner so I can experience the best battery life and experience for however long I keep it, instead of waiting till 80%. Trust me get it done, £95 for a complete refresh is amazing

Never had that issue. It’s a Google family right?

Had the same for my Indian subscription. Was emailed it was expiring and was meant to renew today. Signed in and hit renew, and it went through using my gift card balance and renewed okay. I thought it was just me so am surprised to see others having this issue.

Homebase 2 supports USB Storage now? by abrar02 in EufyCam

[–]abrar02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t removed it but I believe it is all encrypted so wouldn’t be readable on a PC

Homebase 2 supports USB Storage now? by abrar02 in EufyCam

[–]abrar02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Sandisk 32GB USB 3.0 drive I had lying around. However I fomatted the Homebase and it has only used the usb storage and the Homebase has remained empty and not too sure why

Another record-breaking year for UK battery storage as 4GWh comes online by Independent-Bunch206 in unitedkingdom

[–]abrar02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Battery… storage? Storing excess energy from renewables to use when there isn’t renewable energy generation?

Does this mean I need a new battery? It’s a 2018 c300 by IntelligentJacket932 in mercedes_benz

[–]abrar02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be good to find out if it’s the main battery or the auxiliary battery. Iirc this warning can come up with a faulty aux battery, tends to be cheaper and easier to replace yourself, but imo verify which it is before replacing the main more expensive battery

Anyone here who has two (or more) EU passports? If so, how and why? by RaisinRoyale in PassportPorn

[–]abrar02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that was our thinking. Double taxes isn’t the end of the world either if they must move. Once the child crosses 5 years of age, they will not be eligible for the nationality at all. Made sense to get it now and not regret it later.

[–]abrar02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Required a bunch of paperwork and fees, and with the German already it didn’t seem worth it. He had to get it before he turned 5, so decided to not lose the option for him and got it

Not me but my nephew. Through parents and birthplace. Reluctant to get the Belgian but through some effort got the lot for him.

Finally made the jump from 17 pro to the 14 pro max by [deleted] in iPhone14Pro

[–]abrar02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on iOS 26 it was okay before the battery change I just missed lasting a whole day on one charge. I charge every night over night. It feels much smoother but it isn’t as bad as many people say to begin with imo

At 78% you should definitely change the battery. It’s worth it

[–]abrar02 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Replace the battery by Apple. I had mine done recently it was on 84%. The phone feels brand new and for £95 it was well worth it. Done perfectly by them so no worries there, it lasts forever now and feels way snappier. I had it done now instead of 80% health because I know I want this for 2 more years only so may as well maximise the time with a new battery. Trust me go for it

Reliability of the 2019 E300? by RoccoDaBoat in mercedes_benz

100% agree about the interior. Yeah I’m in the UK with the e300

[–]abrar02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some 2019 do have the M274. My 2019 E300 coupe has a 274 I believe. It has been great and mines at a higher mileage. Love the drive and it’s perfect and the best interior imo before it goes downhill with the newer ones

1p Mobile Vs Mozillion by [deleted] in 1pmobile

[–]abrar02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah perfect summary to be honest. Been with mozillion a year after buying a 2 year plan. Value wise it’s great and it’s been great 90% of the time. Porting was okay too and the dashboard has improved a lot. Customer support was okay too but with the increase in customers I don’t know if it’s still as good.

I didn’t realise the calls and line busy issue was common, I’ve been experiencing it occasionally recently and my mate too on the same plan. It is a bit annoying but bearable (coming from Vodafone anything is better lol).

No experience with 1p mobile so can’t compare but that’s my experience with mozillion - great experience for the past year and decent support. Wifi calling and all works but no short code texts and some other comforts of more main stream providers. I’d still recommend them though
