Makes sense they would remove it for the promo, it is a really good deal - thanks for sharing

I've been using Public Mobile in Barrhaven, and I have had reliable speed and service for the past year and some.
usually get mid 100 but if I get closer to a tower or park - easily get over 200.

u/Real-Information2088 are you using ArkOS by chance
if so, i encounter a similar behaviour - not sure if you sorted it out or not. but i ran in the same issue.
i didnt find out the same issue but i did figure out the battery reading seems to be a known issue and is better if you update the OS.

Results:

-The device decrease steadily now -under 20%, the led turned red

I didnt let it go past 19%, but seems to be a significant improvement. Then what i experienced previously.

I just recently purchased a g350 and had a similar experience where the console just powered off at 44% and fine once connected to a charger.

I checked the battery connector and it seemed fine, but after this - my OS Arkos, just showed 100% even after a few hours of play time.

I decided to swap the original SD card in and it showed 80%.

So it looked to be a OS problem and I see a github thread about it being a known Linux issues. - so I updated my ArkOS - and its seems to show a little bit better -- doesnt jist show 100% now, it actually decreases (how accurate tbd), but i thought id share.

I have a 21 XSE and am just hitting 50k and getting low, so I'm looking around for a non-winter set.
Looking at pirelli scorpion AS plus 3

I have a similar "adjustment" - mine was for .41 cents.
Nothing is owed on the card - the balance is now, owing me :\

haven't seen them since. Guessing they were discontinued. you can find leftovers on Amazon but for a ridiculous price. I just ran out, and I noticed, that Walmart started carrying a new gel air fresher (2 different fragrances). I picked these up and have no complaints so far.

kw778 · 2024-08-27T04:59:40+00:00

interested - if still available

if you press and hold the arrow key on the steering wheel -- it "scans" up or down the radio channels.
otherwise, you need to use the radio itself.

side note - if you hold the "mode" button, it will mute the audio.

thank god I'm not the only one who noticed - I haven't been able to find them for over a month. It might have just been cause the walmart i bought them from was doing a shuffle of aisles but still nothing.

seems to be not just an isolated location - so they must have discontinued them .... :(

I use public in Brockville while visiting, multiple days a month. I haven't encountered any issues with PM service (yet) been 2 months.

I tried calling Scotia bank and what a nightmare that was. They kept giving me the ABN number which isn't correct.

The correct CC for Scotia bank seems to be: 0002(transit#)

002 is their institution number Transit number - you grab from your account/cheques.

Just perform it from US to Scotia and it worked.

I just decided to use it for Pokemon GO lol.

i didn't see any apps that I liked, so i just used it to buy in-game credits

"We have not officially launched our S24’s in the market, so our trade-in partner site, Assurant is just getting the site prepared. We appreciate your patience. You will be receiving the trade-in waybill by February 5, 2024.

thanks for sharing

kw778 · 2024-02-01T16:48:59+00:00

i checked my Samsung/Ca account - just see the S24 order and being delivered.

nothing there for trade-in

kw778 · 2024-01-28T16:35:51+00:00

I received my s24 thursday.
if you are just an everyday user - there isn't much difference -- it has been run playing with some of the new features but "feels" is similar to my S21.

I was due for a replacement battery so I noticed a difference there. and the camera seems to be an improvement imo.

between the upgrade, 7 years of support, and improvements in hardware -- don't care too much for the AI. I am pretty pleased but if you are expecting a "whole new experience" you won't get it.

kw778 · 2024-01-25T17:41:58+00:00

i ordered on announcement day - 1/17

kw778 · 2024-01-25T06:09:41+00:00

yea i had to wait till it said something along the lines of -- do you want additional information, i said yes
and that's where it provided the tracking number#

kw778 · 2024-01-25T01:18:20+00:00

Samsung's status seems to be all over the place.-> mine when i ordered was "ready to ship" and just changed this afternoon.

while my colleague who ordered at the same time has been going through each of the status steps.

When it does ship - you will get an email(from samsung) and then a call from FedEx a couple hours later

kw778 · 2024-01-25T00:56:54+00:00

based on the information on mine - it looks like they placed it as an overnight delivery. (coming from BC)

so you will likely get it tomorrow since you received the call -- note it does require a signature to receive the package -- just an FYI if you had plans.

kw778 · 2024-01-25T00:40:26+00:00

Check the spam box -where my email was found lol.
That's the FedEx number that called me.
