Bought the wife a IO6 Christmas Eve all good till last week when the lower half of the screen shat itself and had horizontal lines across it. Could still see the screen as the faulty lines were alternative but decided it needed fixing.

Just been to the I-Mobile shop Tesco Lotus, Pattaya Nua and was told it would have to go to Bangkok and would take 4 weeks! Asked if I was to go to Bangkok myself could it be done quicker they said no.

Great phone lousy after sales support.

Just found a site with the ROM's for the IQ6 so it can be rooted.

Need to get the screen warranty fixed tomorrow then I will give it a try.

Oh it also upgrades to OS to Jelly Bean.

If someone wants to have a go translating this site it explains how to root I-Mobile devices including the Q6....

I recently bought an I style q 6. A great phone but the screen is very sensitive..

Is there an English step by step guide on how to root the phone as I want to install Google map navigation

zoolander I have just installed Sygic navigation with full Thai maps on a non rooted phone if you are interested PM me and I will send you the link....

Does anyone know what the Q6 is based on I am trying to find a way to root it and noting is coming back for I-Mobile.

Found a page in Thai even though it said it was for the Q6 it seemed to be for the Q3.

I bought the wife a Q6 based on thaicbr's advice and she loves it.

Just need to get ti rooted though. The phone not the wife!

The application is called 'Internet Download Manager' seen it on quite a few computers over here and regardless of 'regional settings' it always looks like this.

As you found out simply uninstalling it is the best thing to do. If you need a download manager give 'jDownloader' a try.

I would buy a replacement on eBay and replace it yourself. If you are not comfortable doing that drop it to Tukom and get them to swap it over.

I've had it before on 2 pin plugs when the live and neutral have been reversed in the wiring. Quick test is to turn the AC plug so you swap pins.

Wanted to come back from BKK around 2am.

Just checked the Pattaya bus time the last one to BKK is 23:00 and they start again 04:30.

I would of thought one of the many minivans companies would of run an all night service???

I need to travel to and from Bangkok in the evenings. Other than the obvious taxi are there any other options?

I know most minivans and buses stop around 8pm I need something later.

Thanks.

How sad.

R.I.P.

No - it's gone through to the 1st appeal court already, which took 2 years.

The 1st appeal court upheld the first court's verdict - not guilty on the 4th Dec 2012

Basically he is trying to appeal it a 2nd time to the Supreme Court

Obviously 2 not guilties is not enough and the accused require 3 in order to finally leave!

Remix4 thank you for clearing that up.

As far as I understand the criminal law you have been found not guilty twice thats it game over. he has no grounds to try for a second appeal at the supreme court.

Its BS stalling tactics that will can not be endorsed by the supreme court.

IMO Lee Chestnutt and his partner just have to keep their heads down and give it a couple of weeks......

Given that as I understand it this matter was raised by the British family's Member of Parliament in the UK and represented to the Thai government, I would find it unlikely that this was therefore "simply" a civil case.

As an aside I have no special knowledge about this case apart from what I've read.

So, of course, I may be in error.

Regards

Correct this is a criminal case.

Originally 2 charges - theft & criminal damage

Acquitted of both charges and prosecution only appealed criminal damage charge

1st appeal - acquitted of criminal damage charge

Now prosecution trying to appeal criminal damage charge to Supreme Court

Remix4 now I am confused.

I thought this had only been heard by the criminal court and that they missed the 30 day appeal court window hence the landlord appealing to the supreme court for an extension to take it to the appeal court?

Did the appeal court up hold the criminal courts decision or is it simply they missed the 30 day appeal window?

In criminal cases this is true, but in cases like this one where it's only about damaged property, posting a bong high enough to cover all proceeedings, potential damages and fines should be enough to be able to travel.

My knowledge is in criminal not civil law thank you for letting me know.

Just to note that according to the reports ,at least originally, the charges were indeed Criminal Damage. Also in interviews given the night before the last hearing when they were acquitted [again] it was again stated that there was a risk of a custodial sentence.

So as stated above a "permission to leave" would therefore be required.

I think the line between this being a criminal case or a civil case is very blurred I guess only the 2 guys involved really know.

My goodness, why go to all the trouble? Just have a GF sign the rental/lease docs.

This is what I have always done and is very sound advice.

A Thai will never bother chasing another Thai for money......

I'm quite certain they could leave the country if they deposited some millions in a sequestrated Thai bank account to cover potential fines and damages while continuing to fight in absentia through their lawyer.

manarak to leave the country during a court case requires the court to issue you with a 'permission to travel' document and depending on your case even when you have achieved a not guilty at the criminal courts is not easy even with additional bond being offered as security.

There is an active 10 page thread on this.....

Embattled Brit Lee Chestnutt Forced To Stay In Thailand

Mr Chestnutt must be loaded to hang around Thailand for years with out a paying job.

Its always a lot easier to judge people when you peer into the glass bowl they are forced to live in. Only Chestnutt knows all the facts of his case

Looking at this I thought of a scenario some may have been exposed to.

What happens if the 'accused' has ran out of money?

They aren't allowed to work are they?

Do they become homeless?

Yes they do. Sadly you hear of people on bail being arrested again after committing crimes one has to wonder how many do it from necessity....

I think if I was looking at a life on the streets, I would consider an escape across the border.

On face value it looks the obvious choice but you need to factor in the following.

If you leave Thailand with a criminal case pending you will certainly be found guilty of the crime in you absence which could lead to extradition problems back in your home country as well as never being able to come back to or through Thailand.

If you are forced to live rough it means you don't have any funds so leaving Thailand just puts you in a new country without any money to live. The days of the FCO covering your airfare home are long gone due to people abusing the help.

Catch 22?

Khunangkaro answers:

In Theravada Buddhist society there are many a (Forest) Wat where you are welcome to stay for longer time if you commit yourself to practice Samatha/Vipassana meditation.

Google your way. There is much info to find.

Monastic life is incredibly rewarding but even for someone who chooses and follows Buddhism its hard for someone who uses it as a refuge it would be close to impossible to follow the daily routine.

I know any temple (in theory) will help support people as a foreigner trying to find one would be quite hard BUT it is as you say an option.

These comments are from experience not opinion.

Now I understand.

My g/f had to get a replacement card and was told they didn't have any advising her to call every day to check.

Great planning.....

@Flamingballs there you go see a fellow blogger has helped you!

@Nisa @Para BOTH OF YOU may wish to set-up a "direct message system" or a "private website" as your posts are boring readers. Quite clearly the pair of you live on a keyboard. Get a life and let the other bloggers get a sensible commentary going. Goodbye

'Self described Blogger' + 15 posts = oxymoron or is there no 'oxy' about it?

Good luck getting him back to Thailand for the appeal.

What appeal?

Sure I read the story but he served his time and was sent back to his home country under the treaty agreement where he should of served half of his remaining sentence. The public prosecutor only had to option to appeal after the criminal court verdict over 3 years ago.

Do a search on this guy there are plenty of posts about him on other forums he wasn't a nice person.

Looks like another set-up of an innocent man?

Nisa I knew of this guy and he was very far from innocent.

Let me guess you will try and find fault with what I have said......
