Good evening bosses.
So yesterday I put a on my phone, just this morning I can't the I used, every wrong attempts has been locking the phone while increasing the timer, please is there any way I can unlock the phone without doing a factory reset as I don't want to loose my files.

What type of phone is it??

genius43:


The Xiaomi 11T obviously boasts better performance than the Note 14 and has better cameras. It is already at its End of Life. Also for a phone that was released 4 years ago don't have so much expectations on the battery life especially for a used device.

You re 100% right about the 11T being superior in of performance and camera, infact in most aspect, except like you rightly mention the battery and Updates considering it's a 2021 phone.

I have never for once purchased a used phone before, so I'm even skeptical going for one, just that most of those old higher mid rangers and flagships have better specs compared with what is obtainable this days, and less expensive too.

Thank you for your response.

I think you have a good point but Pansophist also made some valid points, your response and reaction to him wasn't necessary.

Let's try and debate the issue sensibly and in a civil manner.

1. The difference between parents and children is that, parents made a choice to have children and that choice comes with responsibilities and obligations some of which you listed above. Children on the other hand didn't make a choice to come into this world, to have parents or to have the sort of situation OP is in thrust upon them. As children we try to make the best of it, by doing good, doing right and doing well by our parents.

2. It is a natural course of life that children will grow up one day and leave home. This is a normal and old practice, even the bible talks about a man leaving his parents to cleave to his wife. We leave the nest to build our lives and live out our dreams or purpose, most times that means physically parting from parents and leaving them behind.

3. Parents and children were never meant to be together until death do them part. That is an exclusive reserve of married couples. The OP"s parents are the ones who should be together till death does them part. I understand the sentiment you expressed about parents being old, doing things for us and wanting us around in old age, but I think what most of them truly need is companionship.

4. It can be companionship from one another as a couple, from their friends, church community, or a group of people with same interests, etc. It must not necessarily be from the physical presence of their children. This is one of the reasons why I believe companionship is more important in marriage than children. I also don't like this idea we have of birthing kids so they can look after us in old age. It creates scenarios like the one OP is in now and emotional blackmail as well.

5. I cannot relate to the desire or need, to bring non-existent people into existence, just so they can take care of us in old age. It is a lot work if you ask me, because the work you will do for those children before you reach old age, will be more than the work they'll do for you in return. And if they are children who refuse to catch sense, heartache and pain awaits you in old age.

6. So, yes, while parents fed us and took care of us, it was their responsibility and duty to do so, as a matter of the choice they made to bring us into this world. While we also have a duty to do right by them as godly and sensible children, we can do that without necessarily living with them.

My own mother told me once that while they do not see me often they feel my impact from miles away through the financial I provide. Pansophist is not wrong when he says they should adopt children, in my case, we have a young girl of University age who lives with my parents.

She's in her 3rd year now, she's not a blood relative, I don't know how or where my mum found her but they've put her through primary and secondary school, now she's almost through with University.

I am more quick to send that girl pocket money for her personal use, than I am, to send to some of my own blood relatives. Blood is not thicker than water for me when it comes to that girl, the value she has provided and continues to provide exceeds the value some blood relatives have provided.

Nice submission, you're indeed a woman/man of wisdom.

We happen to share the same school of thoughts on the subject matter.

Dicey.

Boss genius, can you kindly elucidate??

I need public opinion on choosing a phone with the best value for money.

Budget is 250k-270k

I'm considering foreign used MI 11T of 2021
Or the Note 14 4g ( I know these phones are not in the same category spec wise).

But if you re to be in this shoes, which would you go for, brand new RN14 4g or Foreign used MI 11T, you can do well to state the pros and cons on why u re choosing each of the devices

Zankut:
Redmi Note 10 5g original battery BM57 model available for dash free of charge, bought erroneously for Redmi note 10 pro, didn't match

How is the legendary RN 10 pro holding up in 2025??
Is it still worth recommending??

Chimatesky64:
the Poco f7 pro is a beast, just got it from macbeyland today.

.

Of course being a single mother isn't a death sentence, but make them sha avoid me.

ityP:




Omo. How you dey cope? One old baba told me to do something on his 2GB ram phone. I legit wanted to slam the phone on the floor.

.

moremuch1:
I don't know why but I still can't bring myself to buy an android phone for over one million, if I must buy a phone for that amount then it must be an iPhone

Do you have any android that you re not using again??

TemporaryHansel:


Tecno phantom X2 is cool. One thing about me is that I cannot use more than 350k to buy an android phone. I have almost five android phones and all of them are side phones not main phones. My iPhones are my major daily drivers.

LeeSmart:
Turned down an offer to become dss cadre officer, reasons is becos i don't want to experience the stress my dad is going through all in de name of keeping the nation safe....i think I'm de only one in my family who's not working with the govt.

Na my dream job be that o.
Well everyone has his/her calling

Vickygirk:



Is because those single mothers don't locate the sperm donors and drop the child for him to cater..

Immediately this practice is on the rise, this shame of single mother and talk of bad character when belle enter go stop

Men go dey learn to care for their reproductive health and not sleep around with person they are sure not to marry..

I repeat, Single Mothers after giving birth to that baby, Locate the child sperm donor, drop the baby with the sperm donor and change location..

When many starts doing this, this evil menace will reduce drastically.

A better advice would be for girls to close their legs, or better still insist the guy wears a condom or no sezx, or they can opt for other contraceptive methods.

This particular advice is even the most important one, girls should know the type of men they open their legs for. Most of this women complaining of their baby daddies not being responsible knew that this men weren't responsible in the first place, but they still chose to spread their legs wide open and got banged raw to the extent of getting pregnant.

These same set of women who made wrong choices will come out and say men are useless and inresponsible, where's they were the ones who dated and got impregnated by the so called inresponsible men.

You'll should understand that women are the gate keepers of sex and at the same bears the most of the burden associated with the consequences of unprotected sex.

Okay let him try that first.

Update on my dead Redmi 8.

The second phone repairer too, after trying said the phone is gone, it wasn't battery a issue, but .

I searched here on NL and someone was faced with the same problem years back (same Redmi 8.) ,phone just went off and never powered on, I guess this phones generally have lifespan too.

Well I'm done with the funeral rites already, phone served me for 4years + without repairing anything, I'm now currently phone less.

Unfortunately I didn't backup my data on Google drive, so I have lost all my data.
I'm not sure if I did too on my xioami cloud, but do I need a xioami phone to access my backup on cloud??

genius43:


Has he tried another battery before ruling out the battery as the issue. Troubleshooting is strenuous. A new battery should be tested first if that doesn't work then the power IC is next.

He didn't try another battery, he concluded that the phone is dead (the first repairer)

Just this morning I took it to another repairer, thou the battery was difficult to get, but he later got one, he will try that one by tomorrow and let's see wether the phone will come up.

Thanks for your response

easytig:
When you are ready to get a new phone,Pls avoid substandard brands like redmi,itel, infinix and some Tecno products ,look out for budget phones from brands like oppo ,vivo moto rola, OnePlus budget phones not flagship, avoid Samsung flagship (screen wahala)and also avoid used Samsung budget phones(deadboot wahala).

Thank you very much for your responses.

easytig:
The phone is dead, some phones have shelf life of three to five years,get another phone with long lasting durability like oppo, iPhone, avoid Samsung(screen wahala), redmi,and infinix, itel(substandard brands),and some Tecno products

So in essence, the isn't something that can be fixed right??

The phone is 4 years+ actually and I have never opened/repaired it.

I forgot to mention, before going off completely, some weeks back, it started rebooting itself repeatedly, until I hard restarted severally (rebooting the system) before it powered on.

And surprisingly, when I connect/unplug the phone on my laptop, I hear the (a device detection sound).

Good Pm everyone!!
My Redmi 8 4/64 GB died about a week ago and has refused to power on even as i type this.

What could possibly be the cause?? Could it be a hardware or software issue??, Because since 2020 when I bought the phone, I have never opened/repaired it.

I took it to a phone repairer to check the phone and it seems he isn't sure what is wrong with the phone, at first he said battery, and later on he said my battery hasn't completely died, that it should have been able to power the phone.

He is speculating maybe power ic or board itself, but for now I don't even know what's wrong with the car.

Pls house, I need your humble opinion/suggestions, as I have been phone less for about a week now.

My location is Minna, Niger state, so if anyone has a phone repairer that specializes in Redmi phones around minna.

NB: Before it went off completely, there was a time it was restarting itself repeatedly, which I tried the hard start several times before the phone came up.

How much is dollar again

The information that got to me sometime ago was, relatives or rather children of deceased personnel, were recruited and already under going training.

Omoawoke:
Got 3 professional certifications in 4 months. It was crazy .
I saw some job openings with sweet offers that required some professional certifications, I started preparing for them and got them all in 4 months, days and nights of readings.

It is not only through dirty or illegal means you can make money, as they post dirty things, it’s okay for us to post encouraging things so people out there can see that professional jobs still pay.

Go and write pmp, cissp. Or go and write CFA or take Security plus certifications.
You can get GRC certifications.
Go to YouTube and stop watching porn alone, YouTube as mad resources to learn almost anything in this world from software development to cybersecurity to finance analyst etc
Apply for jobs, there are remote jobs you can do and you will make money yahoo boys, and the money that will give you rest of mind

Modified: I didn’t expect to start getting dms from this post. I don’t usually respond to DMs.
But it’s great that people are getting informed and having interests.
One thing is that there are a lot of info out there, and resources to get this done all by yourself. It’s just one thing which is “The will” if you go on YouTube, Reddit even here on nairaland, there are threads of certifications like this.
Like i said it’s just your determination and you can get them done, the other is funds. We know naira don crash so it affects a whole lot. But people spend up to 15k to 20k pounds migrating to Uk to start care jobs, while these certifications cost about 500 to 800 dollars each to get.

I think it worths it getting one or two or more. You can apply to remote jobs or even migrate with them to Canada or uk and still get jobs there. Even Australia takes this certifications. Best of luck

I'm a fresh graduate with one year of experience, PMP certified but still don't know which way to go.

Debbieinspire:
I wrote on Monday and I've not gotten the second mail yet

Niks10:

Omo

It's all on the man, or have you heard of 2 minutes woman before??
All they do is lay their like a log of wood virtually doing nothing, while enjoying the rod,
Some re even too lazy to arc well for doggy.

I came across a video on FB where a nigga asked his babe to position as if she was thrusting (moving her waist front and back) while laying on the bed, he had a stop watch timing the whole thing, could you believe this babe just spent few sec and she was panting like someone who just finished running a marathon.

Na this same girls go dey shout 2 man up and down.
