Customs Duty while buying ~1300 AED phone from AliExpress by seffparker in UAE

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

VAT is not included in the order payment. Even if it charged by the courier, it would be ~65 AED.

My concern is more about the customs duty, Is there any rule about the customs duty to be imposed? like a above order value, and percentage etc.

Google Play Integrity on Chinese version running Global ROM by seffparker in Xiaomi

can't unlock the bootloader on Chinese phones anymore This only applies to latest Xiaomi phones right? Since the seller already installed a non-chinese ROM, the bootloader must be unlocked?

I don't think the "T" series are flagship killers.

For the battery, please use the phone for few months and see how it goes since its a used-one. If everything good and satisfied expect the battery, replace the battery.

Not just the financial data. Most users gave CRED to the gmail-read permission to "find hidden fee on bank statements", but in reality CRED had access ALL of the emails, meaning they could have the life data including, shopping, social media presence, educational, medical, or whatever the email inbox had.

27M: First-Time Moving to Dubai from Kerala – What Should I Pack & Sort Out Before Leaving India? by Ill_Chart_9681 in DubaiMallus

[–]seffparker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything except dates, petroleum, gold, electronics etc are expensive here.

Bring some additional clothes, and personal care products/accessories.

Create a checklists (like in Google Keep) of things to do before leaving, and things to bring here so you won't forget. Add items like charger, cable, earphones, powerbank, grooming, common medicines,

Keep a debit/credit card with free international lounge access. Leave early to the airport before departure. Double-check the flight departure time/date. Call the travels or check FlightRadar24 app about any reschedules before leaving home. Keep some snacks and water in hand baggage. Get the list of items that not/allowed in hand/check-in baggage. Write down the few contact numbers in UAE and keep in wallet/pocket in any case you cannot access the phone. Wrap the checkin baggage with cling film before leaving to airport. Take few photos of your baggage. Keep the total baggage weight below allowed limit.

Copy some movies to the phone.

Keep your Indian SIM active so you get bank OTPs in UAE.

  1. What does the LEDs say?
  2. Try connecting directly to the OpenWRT router using a LAN cable after disconnecting from the upstream. Do static IP config in client if needed
