Was there a User Manual in the box, and if so was it in English or Thai? Thank you.

Yes on both, the little manual is divided up in 2 parts, one Thai and one English section.

Another thing to note for the IQII, no apps can be stored on the mini SD card, none, nada, nil, zilch, hmmm

I woke up this morning to a notification that an Android system upgrade was downloaded, verified, and available to install. Reboot and installation was painless but checking "about this phone" still shows 5.1.1, so I guess stability and bug fixes as stated.

Here is a link that shows that apps can be stored on sd card in Lollipop. Haven't tried it yet...

Could the cable be kinking / wrongly routed or require some lube . This isnt a very good Honda engine . At this mileage , these engines have been known to self destruct . Take of the side case to expose the plastic oil strainer ( see some photos about page 33 on the CB 300 F thread ) and see if there is any evidence of metalic particals . If so could this be causing the clutch to stay "engaged" untill it has cleared out this swarfe .

What are you basing the self destruct statement on? Curious as I have this engine.

ktm jeff is obsessed with self-destructing Honda engines. He tries to work it into any thread that even mentions Honda. He's a regular Chicken Little....

I just bought this model yesterday. I've owned 2 previous I-mobile phones. The first one's motherboard failed after 1 year. Not cost-effective to repair. I've been using it's replacement, an X3, for about a year. it has a MediaTec chipset 1.5 Ghz. quad-core and Jelly Bean 4.2. You-Tube never worked properly but other than that I've been happy enough with it for the Bt 4600 I paid for it.

But I'm intrigued by the idea of a Google reference phone, with Google specified hardware, closer to the I-Phone experience. Note that it comes with a 2 year warranty as opposed to the usual 1 year from I-mobile. Plus the 2 years of updates to Android. The 1.2 Ghz. quad-core is a step down, but it's a 64bit processor and Google promises that it's fast and smooth, and it is.

Android M is is due out in a month and it will be interesting to side-step the usual "will my phone ever get an upgrade and when?" experience. With a 2 year update time-frame I know I'll have the newest Android OS experience possible.

Again..

TV is acting up today. Attachment didn't post.

On topic: Benelli tnt300s is a nice looking bike. I'll take it more seriously when their dealer network is more established.

Off topic: I'm happy with the cbr300ra. And it's not 18hp. Honda doesn't release hp figures but various publication report 27-30hp.

Mine...

^^ Where did that come from?

ktm jeff you have had some interesting posts but you are boring the crap out of me with this blown up Honda obsession. The vast vast majority have not blown up. Give it a rest already.

To Walter and Stoli..

The problem with being mathematically challenged is that you'll never be able to figure out why you are wrong...

^^

Simples....

Last year 100 rubles received 100 baht.

This year ruble devalued so 100 rubles receives 50 baht.

100 baht receives 200 rubles.

Stoli your math is only correct if the baht was devalued....

Edited to hi-lite baht in last sentence.

Stoli is correct in what he says . . .

1 baht = 0.5 rbl

10 baht = 5 rbl

100 baht = 50 rbl (not 200)

quite simple really

Your link confirms my math

oops... Dennis' link confirms my math.

Surprising that anybody here is unsure. We live and die by FX

Good job. I like a program called Should I Remove It? It lists every program on the computer, tells what it is, and rates it as to importance. I find a lot of crap after an installation and this proggy gets rid of it.

Cheers.

Not for W10..... Not supported.

No idea what you did wrong, but Should I Remove It works well on Windows 10.

P.S. Thanks Never Sure, a brilliant way to see and uninstall unnecessary programs. Cheers-

I didn't do anything with it... I took the link to the website where it states the latest supported OS is 8.1. If it supports W10 they haven't updated their website.

TukCom in Pattaya sells them. About 1500 baht IIRC. Same shop that sells Android TV boxes and surveillance cameras.

One thing that's been only briefly mentioned on the various threads here about W10 is the information flow back to MS (telemetry?), which seems pretty intrusive to users of previous Windows versions. Anybody using Android however is already used to apps requiring access to all sorts of "personal" information, so MS is not breaking new ground here.

Anyway, when upgrading you are given a choice of Express (recommended by MS) or Customized installation. Most of us are now pretty used to checking Customized install on several "free" programs available on the net so as to avoid all the bundled extras that they hope you will install. I chose Customized and was given the option of disabling most of those feedback features. Easy. Privacy (mostly) intact.

Nobody else has mentioned this when discussing their actual upgrade experience....

Gotta love the new posters who come with some off-the-wall story, asking for advise. As soon as someone points out the obvious, the insults start coming and we're off to the races.....

Clueless doesn't even begin to describe....

Just started the upgrade from Win 7 today, but its been on the "working on it..." screen with the dots spinning round for over 2 hours now, has it failed or is this normal?

Thanks.

This would depend on your hardware (SSD will do it MUCH faster) and the amount of bloat in your previous installation. Or it might just be broken.

Thanks,

I'll keep it ging for a while longer and see what happens, its a normal HDD not SSD but is fairly cluttered. there is no indication it is doing anything other than the spinning dots, no progress information, but I can still use the laptop as normal.

I had the same problem 3 days ago when I decided to install the upgrade. I started the process from the "get 10" icon. "Working on it" for over an hour so I closed the window. stopping the process.

Then I went to Windows Update directly, where it was telling me upgrade was ready to install. Hit the install button and almost immediately the License window popped up and Upgrade started. One hour later all was done.

JetsetBkk, you are starting to sound like an anti-MS evangelist with a negative response to every install report. Searching the web for every negative report.... If you don't want to take a chance so be it, but enough with trying to talk everybody else into not doing it as well. Just sayin'...

You get better results with kind words and a gun than you do with kind words alone....

OMG... This fang character is drivelling me to distraction!

Every computing question you never wanted to hear...ad infinitum.

I was told they also service Kawasaki H2"s

Seriously though, the Dept of Transport will renew your road tax as long as you pay up to date including the untaxed period.

yes i know this but i'm unable to go there due to my working hours so i was looking for somewhere else that i can renew, anyone?

I was told by my insurance broker last week that it is possible to renew your tax "disk" at Big C on Saturdays. Probably to accommodate people working weekdays. Just ask at Customer Service at your nearest Big C if they participate in this program. I'm sure the fact it's late won't be a problem...

Just to update my experiences so far as a new user...

The problem of internet web pages being larger than my big screen tv... One poster said this could be corrected in settings. Well.. the Minix ships with 2 launchers. Minix Metro and an Android launcher. Here in Thailand the Android launcher is enabled by default and you cannot adjust screen size using it. The option is just not available. If you switch to Minix Metro launcher however, the settings in Display have the ability to correct Overscan (fit to screen), so that is sorted. That's a big deal because trying to use Firefox with some of the screen out of the frame sucked.

Streaming....that's a mixed bag so far. I'm still unimpressed by streaming but I'm starting to get better results. Way too many broken links but there are so many choices. And it is possible to FF/FR streams, so that is useful.

The graphics chip is better than the Apacer media player that died, and better than the built-in player in the tv set. A very nice picture with this box!

Yes, this intersection has "history"...

There are traffic lights installed. They were there but not activated when about 2 years ago a concrete truck broad-sided an suv. Spectacular and noisy crash. They were then turned on and all was normal...until a year ago when they blocked the intersection for sewer repairs (3rd or 4th time).

Now, after a year of being blocked the intersection was opened. But nobody has yet thought to activate the traffic lights.

The incompetence with regards to roadways here is staggering!

Thanks for everyone's feedback and info.

Previously, I had heard about the learning curve with XBMC/Kodi and, given my non-interest in streaming, I was content to ignore it. But now this new media player presents streaming as a major feature so I have had to wade in.

I will look into these other options.

I still think its a codec/encoding incompatibility.

Do you have GOM player installed on your PC? Firstly its is IMO the best media player secondly it gives a good report on the playing media.

Have you tried updating the s/ware on your TV?

Lately GOM is unable to play many MKV files. It offers to search for missing codecs but then advises against using any codec not bundled with GOM!

Shame, as it's been my favorite media players for years now..

VLC will play anything but I don't like the GUI as much.

The discussion about GOM was really about using it to determine the CODEC being used in the files that my TV won't play.

Obviously I can't use GOM on my TV - it has its own CODECs built in. But what is strange - and annoying - is that the 2013 LG TV can play the .mkv files with 16 reference frames but the newer, 2014 LG TV, same "top of the range" model, cannot.

Sorry. Sometimes you don't know if you are adding to the discussion or going off-topic...

FWIW, I have the same problem on two TCL tv's. The older (3 years) 42in. can play MKV files perfectly, while the newer (1 year) 48in. has video but no audio...

My 4 year old Apacer media player died this week so I purchased a Minix Neo X8-H Plus yesterday. 5500 Baht with a free AirMouse.

The Minix of course plays all the files that the Apacer did but has Wi-Fi as well as the Android OS. It comes with a forked version of Xbmc (now Kodi). This is my first exposure to this software and it ate up a few hours of my time last night when it was unable to install the Config Wizard I had seen referenced on YouTube. Eventually I download Kodi from Google which had a newer version of Config Wizard available and that add-on installed correctly. Now have 2 versions of Xbmc/Kodi. The Kodi website says to uninstall the older version after making sure the new version works. But it seems that it's the old version now working as the add-on appears there but not in Kodi version. I'm reluctant to uninstall the older version as it can't be reinstalled unlike the version from Play Store. Hmm...

I've never been a fan of streaming, preferring to use downloaded files that I can fast-forward etc. Streaming is like real tv. You can't FF.

Internet on my tv is a novelty though. BUT, even on a 50in. tv , web pages are bigger than the screen and it looks like I would want to fit to screen but don't see that option.

Any tips for a new user?
