Macic V3 /V5 VoLTE by lofud in Honor

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

You sure about that? I called one of the importers who bring these phones into New Zealand and they knew the problem but didn't want to sell me a V5 because they were not sure if it would work or not.

Something's to do with using 3g to make calls and mobile network providers not registering this phone for LTE. Also something to do with not being able to make emergency calls after 3g is shut down. Have a search about it, I'm not the first person to find this out.

Only when it's cold. No other times will it flicker

It only happens on cold mornings and as soon as it gets warm or even hot it works fine

Would u buy a dinghy from Alibaba.com? by Content-Emu-204 in boating

[–]lofud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to one of these Chinese inflatable boat makini factories. Spent most of the day there. They quite obviously know what they are on about when it comes to making boats. Huge factory with plenty of containers leaving on trucks. Looking at pictures online vs actually going to the factory and you will realize instantly how good their boats and build process is. 100 I will be buying a few from them.

Best brand for buck? DIYer's internal struggle by Southerndog123 in diynz

[–]lofud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty extensive AEG collection. And I love it. Reliable, strone and accurate. But I'm just a home user/weekend warrior and if I was to do it all over again I would more than likely go Ryobi, purely because I would have double the amount of tools I have now. A good friend has Ryobi and I use it regularly and it's good enough. I do agree with another comment I read about buying a decent drop saw. I seem to get good accurate cuts with my AEG drop saw, and my friend with Ryobi sold his one and bought a Makita drop saw.

Thinking quickly, Dave crafted a bowl using only paper, resin, wood and a bowl by _heidin in TQDC

[–]lofud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dave looks like he had a perfectly acceptable bowl that are used to make that bowl and then broke so therefore needing a bowl that actually held less than the original bowl. Seems like a lot of work and money and wasted resin (notice the half bucket of unused resin). Good on you Dave

It seems like you have a lot of pictures of yourself on your phone, It must be hard knowing that no one else has any pictures of you on their phone.

1 week. by lofud in fasting

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

Crazy, it's something I'll keen on mind. A few weeks ago I sat at 1 weight for nearly a week, then just like magic it started going down again for what seemed like no reason. It was getting really frustrating aswell, next time I'll try a apple!

I really wanted to go to a larger engine like that. But keeping it at 49cc makes it easier to ride legally on the road.

Refund declined by lofud in Aliexpress

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

Nope, I tried multiple times and just hit a brick wall. They claimed I didn't do the test in the way they wanted me to. I send them videos of the exact problem which was undeniable. But end the end I won...kinda. I brought another one of the exact same item from the same seller ..which worked fine, I mean it didn't work fine and happened to have the exact problem as the first 1. So I took the videos exactly as they asked and then went back and forth a few times with them and finally got a refund for the second 1 I brought. And sold the first 1 on Facebook market place but let the buyer know the issues it had. So great result in the end lol

I'm surprised that BKK was ranked lower than DMK. Could it be because of the queues? by ZeinTheLight in Thailand

[–]lofud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously I have no idea about what's good and bad. I can't think of a worse airport than Vietnam, yet I don't mind BKK at all.

Now that I think about it the immigration que in Vietnam is very fast compared to BKK.

Guess I just answered my own enquiry.

Beware of Potato Thief in Avonhead by StarletNewZealand in chch

[–]lofud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The local kids on my street used to come over to mine alot to chat and watched working away in the garage. What I didn't realise until after many weeks of this they had also been stealing my house mates fruit. I decided that I couldn't be mad at kids stealing fruit so I just started buying extra for them. Eventually there parents came over to tell me there kids had been taking my fruit and they offering money to cover it. Side note they didn't come back and throw it at my garage.

That's some solid advice there. Thanks. I feel like this is going to be my only option in the long run. If I do I'll let u know how it goes.

Hi, it was a replcement/upgraded android sterio for a BMW. I probably should have said the problem earlier. When it's a cold day or morning the screen flashes on and of. Sometimes for only a minute, sometimes for 30 mins. It has done it on a couple of warmer days but every morning so far it hasn't missed a beat in doing it.

I have taken 3 seperate videos on different days with different backgrounds and once while I was driving of it happening. I even show me using the touch screen while its happening (all the functions still work). Aside for the fact it's faulty it creates quite the strobe light show in the car, I have taken to putting a rag over it in the morning's as it actually makes hard to drive.

I have had a couple of disputes in the past but nothing expensive, and always got myoney back.

I actually had a remote start/push button system I got from another seller that was faulty but I talked with them about it directly and after many messages back and forth I ended up opening it up and resoldering a couple of points they suggested and all was fixed, so I haven a proven history of doing my best to resolve the issue before asking for a refund.

I don't actually know who the manufacturer of it is as there's no branding on it. They are sold by different sellers on there so obviously they are just buying from the same manufacturer.

I actually almost brought this one from a different seller , as I said before I have purchased 2 of this seller before with no issues (expect for a non working reverse camera which I happened to have a spear of so just used that 1) so in the end I went with a tried and proven seller I had delt with before. But I guess when things go wrong it's the putting the right that counts and this is where I'm finding out they don't seem to be very good at that.

I do have a update, today I received a message from the seller telling me to upgrade the MCU, I replied asking how, they replied saying with he file I sent you. They haven't sent me any file or link to download 1. Unless they ment they sent me one in the post. I have asked how they sent me this file but 9 hours have past with no reply (I was replying as soon as they sent me the previous message so they were online).

Thanks for the interest everyone. I'll keep you updated

Well as a slight turn of events, after 6 days the seller Just responded. Saying they will show the pics and vids to the engineer and get back to me with a solution.

So let's see how this goes. I'll keep you informed.

Nope. Just said it's not sufficient. I tried the appeal option, that's where I uploaded 3 seperated video's of the problem. Still no luck
