BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Nope for me, definitely doesn’t get past the Try Again screen when trying to open Google Play Store or any of the available apps. ( Logged in to Google and all the other installed GBox apps open normally ). I recall when the sim swap was being rolled out a few posts on FB showing the same Try Again screen, I seem to remember seeing a video about it being something about “ Permissions “ but the video seemed quite complicated ( and in Thai ! ) so i didn’t get much of it. Strangely if i try to download a new app from the GBox available list it gives me a message in french “ s’il vous plait ………. permission …….” which i have seen before on my previous GBox app. Unless anyone on here has had a similar experience and has the magic fix i won’t attempt any DIYing as that is destined for failure but might put a post on FB Seal group , unfortunately has to be the Thai group !! -

Council of State Declares Kittiratt Unqualified as BOT Board Chairman
Picture courtesy: Naew Na In a recent development that has raised eyebrows across Thailand's financial and political sectors, the Council of State has ruled Kittiratt Na-Ranong unqualified to serve as board chairman of the Bank of Thailand. The decision comes amidst concerns regarding his previous role as an advisor to former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, a position deemed political, despite Kittiratt reportedly not receiving any remuneration. The announcement relayed by Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira has thrown the Ministry into a search for a new candidate to assume one of the nation’s pivotal financial oversight roles. Until a suitable replacement is found, Paramethi Wimonsiri, whose term as chairman concluded on 11 September, will continue to serve in an acting capacity. Kittiratt’s nomination, supported by a selection committee led by former Finance Secretary Sathit Limpongpan, initially positioned him as the preferred candidate. However, this sudden turn of events underscores the delicate balance between political association and institutional independence within the Thai government’s financial sectors. The disqualification has garnered a response from Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who implied that the procedural integrity must be maintained, though refraining from delving into specifics. This reserved stance reflects the gravity with which the Thai leadership is treating the situation, understanding the critical implications for both policy stability and public confidence. The nomination drawn from Kittiratt’s extensive background was met with strong dissent from various academia and former employees within the Central Bank. Among the vocal critics were four previous governors, underscoring fears that his close ties with the Pheu Thai party could be perceived as compromising the Bank’s essential autonomy. They argue that the central bank’s independence is vital for unbiased monetary policy decisions, which would be at risk should politically affiliated figures assume control. This unstable situation not only places Kittiratt under a harsh public spotlight but also puts into focus the often intricate web of influence between Thailand’s political apparatus and financial institutions. With this decision, the Council of State has aimed to reiterate the importance of ensuring those in pivotal financial positions are beyond the shadow of political influence, safeguarding the nation’s economic integrity. In the wake of these developments, the Ministry of Finance faces mounting pressure to identify a chairman who can assure both competency and neutrality, reported Thai PBS. -- 2024-12-25 -
