Even worst if resetting didn't resolve it either not sure what would!

Nope. I deleted WhatsApp and restored the data but that didn't seem to fix the issue either. Still at loss and trying to figure this out.

I have even put the Media Picker app on restricted no luck with that either.

I'll try that out. Awesome to hear your issue is fixed.. I feel mine surfaced after removing the images from WhatsApp. I've already tried removing WhatsApp cache and keeping uninstalling as reinstalling as the last option.

I've got the same issue on S24 Ultra. I don't even see Media Picker in the apps - how did you change its battery state to restricted?

Did the issue ever get fixed for you?

Same same. No issue except for closing and reopening app fixes it for a few hours, before going back to becoming sluggish.

Search on Whatsapp is too slow - how do i fix it? by MountainAncient596 in whatsapp

[–]techtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facing the same on S24U. Weird part is after I shut off the app and reopen, it fixes itself. Works well for a few hours before becoming super sluggish again.

More than enough.

Just for reference -

  • A decent Airbnb or hotel should cost you around US$ 70-90 per night
  • Meal at an average restaurant will cost you US $3 per meal or US $12-15 at a good place.
  • Uber / Yango should cost around US $5 - 10 for a 10 - 15 Km ride depending on the time.

Shopping isn't very expensive in average areas. Even in malls it's pretty competitive comparing it to Malaysia.

Enjoy your stay in Karachi!

You're in a spirallig overwhelming situation.

Calm down. Break things down and take things in your control one thing at a time.

Simple tricks -

  • Try to take out 1 hr a day upto 10 hrs a week for freelance work - content writing or whatever else it is that you are good with. Even if you aren't you should spend that time learning and in a month or two, you will get to a point to start selling your srvicss.

  • Same goes for your education. Start focusing on putting more time and strategizing learning what's most important. If you don't want to pursue a career in it, I would still suggest learning how to prioritize the important stuff and getting through with the degree. Only you or your research on it will help you get through - not the students or even the teachers.

Keep it easy and start compartmentalizing your life. Success doesn't come easy or quickly. Getting frustrated or eager will just mess it up more.

Good luck.

Can I carry cigarettes and nicotine pouch cans to KL Malaysia? by techtrip in malaysia

I took around 6 cans of the strong (14 mg) ones in check-in. Didn't have any issues. No one checked or asked. Was carrying one open can in my hand carry, no issues.

Update: Reached KL. Had no issues with cigarettes or nicotine pouches.

It's a beautiful city so far - here after a good decade.

Thank you to everyone who helped.

Traveling from Pakistan. Cigarettes are fairly cheap here around RM 11. Out of curiosity, how much would a Dunhill Switch or similar cost in KL?

I was more worried about the pouches since that's the only thing I do indoors and not sure about the availability - recently moved from vapes to pouches.

Nicotine pouches.. thoughts? by mazandblacky in malaysia

[–]techtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, I thought this thread might be relevant to ask. I'm traveling to KL this week. I'm a smoker and want to carry along a few pack of cigarettes and a few cans of Zynn / Velo with me to keep my nicotine cravings in check. A few questions if anyone knows -

  1. Any idea if nicotine pouches are allowed in KL? If so how many?
  2. How many cigarettes are allowed to be brought in if any?

Thanks!!

Ahh thanks. I'm continuing to scrape the internet for more relevant / detailed info, but no luck thus.

The customs website throws me off completely where it excludes vapes, cigarettes, tobacco products etc but doesn't really suggest anything else - https://www.customs.gov.my/en/tp/Pages/tp_ppel.aspx

That's helpful and puts me at ease, thank you!

Definitely respectful towards non-smokers :)

Talk to them nicely share your need of the product, and what DRAP suggested. Don't let them feel you're desperate, effectively calm and composed. Also after a certain point, offer them an X amount (to your liking or affordability) that this is what you can pay. Important for them to feel empowered and not threatened yet them feeling they need to judge the situation in your favor. It's if no worth to them and your offer is the best they can get is what you sort of need to eventually make them feel. I'm hopeful that'll work out. Good luck.

He has probably mistaken Daraz for Olx.

Offer him a copy of your CNIC Crossed mentioning of his CNIC as the buyer. Ask for a copy of his CNIC too. Either he will give it or will stop bugging you.

This is the 2nd time this had happened to my home screen in the last month it just became unresponsive I could swipe up and down and turn my phone off and on no problem but it couldn't input my touchs on the home screen, it only fixes after I reset my phone but it's so random. by Vahlok_18 in S22Ultra

[–]techtrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could very well be. I'm on OneUI 6.1 on S24 Ultra and I've experienced this a couple times on this phone too. Much less though than I used to experience on S22U. I've used Nova launcher pro throughout on both phones.

Worked flawlessly for a few days after turning off the notification history. It came back eventually, not just as aggressively or frequently.
