  1. The phones I have used for years allow me to deny all Permissions to every App if I wish to. I never considered that this will be any different with other manufacturers, but I now find that Samsung forces Permissions to many apps. Currently the "Permission manager" shows that I am forced to give access to "Phone" to 10 apps, Storage to 3 apps, Contacts to 2 apps and Call Logs, Camera, and Location to 1 app each. This is 24/7 forever, no options for the owner. Samsung's answer to Google Assistant is Bixby. Bixby Routines gets perpetual permission for 5 of those, and Bixby Voice gets access to 6. But actually Samsung has access to more than this, as there are many pre-installed apps which are not listed by the Permission manager for some reason, and some of these also have irrevocable Permissions. I cannot accept this situation.
  2. Samsung Galaxy A52S 5G. Will have a "JJ Tell All" and explain once I get a chance. Upset with Samsung, not the phone.
  3. No Facebook access. Anybody sell to a local store they recommend? Also isn't there a "Recycler" type publication - hard copy or net - where people sell used items?
  4. What was the charge for all minus the cost of the multifocal lenses?
  5. Phone is 1 week old, works fine. Not what I expected.
  6. https://aseannow.com/topic/1255658-good-alternative-to-bkk-hospital-heart-center-chiang-mai-please-advise/
  7. 5 year old list pinned to top of Chiang Mai forum - it's a start. (And of course you're correct - Cardiologists deal with heart issues).
  8. That will probably cost him more extra than the 200 THB/month plus some extra hassle.
  9. I was shocked to learn that apartments in Thailand are not required to have smoke detectors unless the building has more than 6 floors.
  10. Try a different DTAC shop? If it's like Immigration, banks, etc., you could get a different result.
  11. MMCC? x x Climate Change?
  12. I just dropped in to add my laughing emoticon to the OP after reading the title. No need to read anything beyond that.
  13. COD buyers have stated they are not permitted to open the package pre-payment and it mainly helps if the package size and/or weight seems off.
  14. I guess my phone is unusual - it displays the time. Was included - No extra charge. 25 million THB saving!
  15. I guess DTAC offers comparable? I want to switch from True to DTAC and would be interested in the "Unlimited 10 Mbps + free calls to all networks, 220 baht per month" or similar.
  16. Flat Rate Delivery to Thailand https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=23736627011
  17. Non mesh repair IS "natural tissue" repair I believe. I wouldn't consider Shouldice based on what I read. Someone posted somewhere a detailed report on the total Shouldice experience. You should be able to find it with a search but it appears you are not into doing much research. My recollection of his account: Horrible staff attitudes; Horrible administration; Poorly organized; Outdated facilities; Overpriced upselling extras (post op Massages); etc. Immediate Red Flag - One cannot choose one's doctor.
  18. Read up on it! I read up on both Shouldice and mesh, and said "No" to both. Had 1 of the few doctors left who does non mesh repair do the operation.
  19. You chose Shouldice for non-mesh surgery and are willing to fly Thailand to Canada for it. Why are you looking for mesh repair?
  20. "You can bring your phone to any authorized Samsung dealer/Samsung shop in Asia." I was at the Samsung store at Maya a few days ago, and the clerk told me there is a 1 year Warranty - "Thailand only". I asked "Can only be used in Thailand?" "Yes". ???
  21. I assume you are excluding alcohol and tobacco, which actually are dangerous to one's health and to others.
  22. Once I am in the official Samsung store, is there a way I can Search for specific models within the official store only? If I am in the Samsung official store and use the Search magnifying glass and specify a model it shows me that model from all stores. The specific model sold in the official store is buried within a list of that model sold by all stores.
