Well my old fridge freezer is on its last legs and I’m sure any day now its going to finally stop working.

Ive had a look around some stores and the choice is large. I was wondering if the technology has moved on and now there’s some better options to look for . Basically I’m looking for a free standing fridge freezer ( freezer compartment on top ) , but I'm not sure about some of the other options I've already seen like , auto defrosting / cold drinks dispenser / Energy Star / built in water filters /  Ice dispenser – maker / quick freezing / Inverter cooling / dual fan cooling / door open alarm /digital display Etc.

As the new fridge freezer should be around for a long time to come I really want to make sure that I get things right when I buy a new one . 

 Just wondering if any one has a fridge freeze with any of the above options and can comment or make any recommendations / advice .

Thanks ????

I can't remember if 6.0 version has the automatic data backup to google feature in the settings. but just copy all your stuff to a folder in your PC would be the easiest. I doubt a factory reset will improve the situation. Most software nowadays do not keep downward compatibility towards that old version of android, if they do, the apps become very slow due to the workarounds to get the functionality in the app to work on the older versions. Such a simple thing as scrolling a list is very different in newer versions of Android compared to older versions.

 Thanks , good point ????

I just connect my phone, running Android, to my PC.  Open up the folder containing all the phone files, then copy and paste into a folder on my PC.

Thanks ????

So have I got this right ?

I connect my mobile phone to my computer , find where all the original apps and photographs are stored . Then just copy and past those apps and photographs directly into a backup folder I have made on my computer. Then do a factory reset and then from the computers new backup folder I just move the contents back onto my now factory reset mobile phone. And those moved items should then work once more .

????

Sorry guys , my bad ????

The phone is a Motorola Moto Z 

My Android mobile phone , running Android 6.0.1 ( cannot update any more ) is generally running very slow . I have tried all the recommended options to get the phone back to its once quick state , but to no avail. So now I want to do a factory reset and see what difference that may make .

So I’m looking for the best and most reliable option to do a full backup of the phone before I do a factory reset . Once the factory reset has been completed I then want to reinstall all the previously backed up items to the now factory reset phone .

Can any one please recommend a way to achieve the above . 

Thanks  ????

I have a gigabit up and down - I got a worse upload result than you. 
 

But 3BB are spot on, around 950Mbps.

 

I’m sure if I pinged my work server and my personal servers in Europe I would get  acceptable results. There have been occasions when I have experienced disruption to service or slow transfer speeds, and I have contacted the ISP team at 3BB who noticed a routing issue.  
 

Apart from the actual speeds, are you experiencing any issues? 

Thanks, well my 3BB internet connection completely went off ( currently using a SIM card to connect ) this is the message I now get on my mobile phone using the 3BB app.

Waiting to see what happens next ????

Are you using a VPN?  If you are the speed will be noticeably lower.  I also have the 3BB 1000 plan.  I have never been able to achieve even close to the 1000 download speed.  However for routine browsing anything above 100 MBPS is not bad at all.  Doubtful you would recognize much of a change from lets say 400MPBS to 700 MPBS.  I have noticed however at times mine gets very slow.  A call to 3BB they have me unplug and reboot the router and they push some magic button and my internet speeds improve.  

No VPN ????

Thanks guys , its appreciated .

So would you consider the speed test results shown in screen shot  F. ( international connections ) to be acceptable ?

Thanks

You were quicker.

There is not the slightest chance that 3BB will/can do much about screenshot B.

Screenshot A is perfectly OK. Please don't moan about 922 vs. 1000.

 

Just did testmy.net to Singapore. Download gives 351. I have a 1000/500 package with 3BB.

I won't complain. No chance.

 

I monitor actual download/upload speeds with a tool in the taskbar (NetSpeedMonitor).

The highest speeds that I achieve are tool based youtube video downloads (1080p, FullHD) at about 400 MBit/s.

The actual speed needed to stream such videos is below 10 Mbit/s.

Hi and thanks for the comment ????

I'm a bit confused , if I signed up for 3BB GIGA Fiber  Download speed – 1000 Mbps / Upload speed – 300 Mbps and no one in the 3BB office or the 3BB  installation guys mentioned about '' Only  '' getting the advertised speeds ''  if the content supplier is based in Thailand . Any where outside of Thailand then the advertised speeds do '' NOT '' apply . Have I got this right ?

Your first test A is using Multi thread 3BB test to Thailand, Your second/third test is using Testmy.net single thread test to Tokyo Japan.

3BB and all the others only guarantee speed in Thailand. Your speed to Japan looks about right.

Hi and Thanks .

So what you are saying is when I signed up for 3BB GIGA Fiber  Download speed – 1000 Mbps / Upload speed – 300 Mbps. I was really signing up for a service that will only give me accesses to the speeds advertised , but only for content based in Thailand ? 

Have I got that right .

Unplug the router ,wait 10 mins and switch back on again, 

Do you have AdGuard  Ad blocker installed ?,I have it on

couple of my PC's and it cuts the speed  by 50% . .

 

regards worgeordie

Hi and thanks , this is a screen shot just now with my browser ad blockers turned off 

I have recently had a 3BB fibre internet connection installed in my house and originally it seemed to be working well . The 3BB package I signed up for is the The 3BB GIGA Fiber  Download speed – 1000 Mbps / Upload speed – 300 Mbps.

My computer has a direct wired connection to the 3BB router via an ethernet cable. The 3BB installation people originally first tested the connection speed by using my computer and going to this web page …. https://speedtest.3bb.co.th/

The results from that very first internet speed test are shown on screen shot – A

Ive now noticed that the download speed seems to be getting slower , so I went to this internet speed test web page …..   https://testmy.net/ . And the current results from that web site are shown on screen shot - B 

As you can see there is a big difference between the speed test results as shown on screen shot A and screen shot B.

 I have replaced the original ethernet cable and I have also done a speed test on a second computer I own , which was also connected to the 3BB router via ethernet cable. The speed test results on that second computer were the same as shown in screen shot B.

So I was wondering before I contact 3BB and ask them to come and check things out , if there’s any thing else I should personally check or can do .

Thanks.

I have had installed a new Samsung air conditioner unit in my bedroom. This is the first ever air conditioner unit I have owned.

The air conditioner compressor unit has been installed high up on an outside house wall well away from my bedroom window . When I’m laying in bed while the air conditioner unit is running I can just about hear the fan and feel the cold air flow and a digital display shows the bedroom temperature . But also while laying in bed I don't know if the outside compressor unit is running or not , ( and I don't really want to hear it ) It would be interesting to be able to know if and when the outside compressor unit is actually running , may be via the digital display . Is there a way to see  / know when the outside compressor unit is actually running .

I have looked through the operating booklet that came with the  Samsung air conditioner and cannot find any option to be able to see when the outside compressor unit is actually running. 

Any suggestions / advice / most welcome ????

I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by providing a web site link. 

This get married online web site was brought up in a recent conversation by a friend here in Thailand , when we were taking about travel restrictions during the current Covid situation. So if some one wants to legally marry a Thai national but cannot travel to Thailand to carry out an official marriage ceremony  The friend is saying that if some one who is not a Thai national but a foreigner and is living outside of Thailand wants to marry a Thai national who permanently resides in Thailand  , then this web site is offering a legal service that will produce the necessary paperwork that will be recognized and approve by Thai immigration .

So if Jim is living outside of Thailand and wants to marry Noi , who lives permanently in Thailand , but neither of them ( Jim or Noi ) can travel , this online service  could be the answer . 

Ive had a look at the web site , and I’m still not sure ????

Any thoughts please. ????

I had a lot of problems with rats attacking my car's electrical wiring , in the end I found an electronic rat killer on lazada . after putting this electronic rat killer   ( which is mains voltage or battery operated)  in my cars engine bay , its killed a lot of rats and the rats attacking the cars electrical wiring has gone away. I would recommend only using dry type rat poison pellets as the bait , if normal human food is used it quickly deteriorates and the moisture from the deteriorated food can seep into the electronic components . Also any any rats killed should be removed as soon as possible , again to stop any moisture from the dead rat's body from  getting into the electronic circuitry.

Yes have used it on a number of occasions, in English, with positive results.

Well I had a go using the Lazada chat option , I went through all the problems I am having ( including screen shots ) I then received this email ...

Only time will tell if these annoying issues ever get fixed. ☹️

Just received this after I sent a question via the email I had been using in the past .

Any one had a try at using the '' Chat '' option ?

Just went to log into my Lazada account and got this ????

Any one else getting this same request ?

Well today I logged into my lazada account without a problem ( using the same computer that I always use ) and on my first search for a product I got this come up on screen

Email Verification 

I followed the verify the code , and then I was allowed to continue .  5 minuets later ( still logged in ) the same Email Verification warning reappeared on screen.

This is getting well beyond irritating ????

There are greedy sellers on both platforms - but a least on Shopee you still do not have as many of the same seller with 100 names and item 4-5 times normal price taking up many pages of search before you find a real price - as is the case all too often on Lazada these days.  I use both and find Google translation of Shopee works better than Lazada native translation (although neither will work if they just post a Chinese photo).

I have have never used Shopee , but just now looking I can’t see any English Language settings the same as you find on the Lazada web page . Am I missing something ????

I can't sign on at all today. I get a message asking me to verify my account and they sent a 6 digit number to my email, but after I enter that number nothing happens. I think Lazada has some real technical problems at present.

 This whole ongoing saga with Lazada is getting out of hand. I noticed these comment about the same Lazada issue on reddit.

I agree with the comments about it trying to make users use their app. I have logged onto Lazada using VPNs from several countries/areas, and still get the same message - so it is a fake message. I would like to drop Lazada but have noticed many sellers on Shopee are now getting greedy. Many times the same item is cheaper on Lazada and the shipping is also cheaper. So, even though it's a pita - I still buy stuff from Lazada.

This problem hasn't been fixed in ages. Apparently, as soon as you browse more than ONE product on Lazada, the site deems it too suspicious that you're still on the website or that your a bot. That either says something about what Lazada thinks of their customers or the simply the failure of the website dev team to come up with proper solution
