Popular Post fforest Posted September 1 Popular Post Share Posted September 1 (edited) I just upgraded my phone from a Samsung Galaxy S8 to a Samsung Galaxy S21.... I bought at Tukcom..........I really dont see much difference between the Samsung S24 and the Samsung S21...........O let me correct myself........There is one big difference..... One cost 8,000 baht 2nd hand and one cost not far from 30,000 baht new.... Other than the price they are VERY VERY similar.... The guy I bought the phone from at Tukcom. did a fantastic job transfering all my stuff into the new phone.... I take the phone home and the internet works beautiful on Wifi......But its running like crap on my AIS data.... So I spend a whole day fucking around with the phone trying to get it working better using the data.....I try loads of things.....And its still working like crap using data... Next day I take the phone back to the guy......He said the problem was there were loads of programs waiting to down load and update which was messing up the data........Ok fair enough.....I thought the problem was finished.......Nope......Wrong.....The problem is not fixed..... Another day of screwing around with the phone goes by......Its still not working right.. Next day I take the phone to Big C extra AIS......I say i have a a data plan for 1 year but I switch phones and the new phone data it terrible.... She looks up my name types a few things into the computer.....And says it should be fixed.. I had LOW expectations it was fixed..........But Amazingly she was right.....The phone was working perfect......No problems at all...... I did not know AIS had to anything..........So if anyone changes phones I hope this info can help save someone days of grief with screwing around trying to get the data working.....

forcebwithu Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 It would have been good to know what she did to correct the problem. Perhaps activate 5G? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a strange one, the S8 doesn't support 5g, so it's likely the sim was a 4g sim, but the S21 will run on 4g, so you would think it would perform just as the S8. I do remember having to change my sim to a new one many years ago, but think that was a change from 3g to 4g. It is possible that there was a problem with his account which coincided with the phone change, it may even be the reason he changed his phone! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the change from 2g to 3g I think, when they switched all the 2g gear off. Around about then you also had to register your existing SIM using your passport after the bombing in Bangkok .. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 (edited) I hate hate changing phones....But smartphones have a limited life span... My Samsung S8......Is recommended for 4 years.....But I had been using it for almost 8 years.....And I was having weird light flashes in the LCD lighting every day.....The screen would have random flashes of light.... And they wanted 5000 baht to replace the LCD screen... Nope I am not paying 5000 for repairs when I can buy a S21 for 8000 baht... So I was forced to buy another phone.... Every thing about the S21 I like.....But this Data problem has been a real pain......I am still not sure what the problem was but it seems to be working now..... Smartphones is one thing I will not cheap out on....Which is why I will only buy the Galaxy S phones from Samsung...
