Fwiw it sounds like a great ploy to drop the price offered on the phone, and it probably works on 90% of people (I'm being conservative btw).

Most people are idiots and would have no clue why that battery was getting hot, tbh a lot of used phones batteries would have died before the third factory restart, hence proving the shops *point* that the battery was faulty and the phone was worth commensurately less.

Tbh I don't think it would have took much more as seemed to be slowing every time they reset it.

Sods law it was them who were damaging it.

They do sound like ****.

Slightly off tangent but doesn't the CPU get hot as well? They do in other devices, I always presumed they would in a phone.

Personally I would put my money on either a CPU or GPU generating heat during usage. The battery is under such miniscule load that they only really generate heat when being charged, especially now with fat charging.

Bloody good ploy to get the price down though, I wonder how many fall for it.

Probably do it all the time as you say.

If they had carried on I would have been billing them for a replacement phone for the damage they had caused (swear)

If it's only fit a short period of time then it's very unlikely to do any damage to the device.

Run satnav or a few of the crappy games off the play store for a while and you'd be surprised how warm they get.

I'm fairly sure I know exactly where the CPU is on my phone..

Chelsea Tractor drivers, especially ones driven by middle aged women in sports wear that park in the parent and child spaces by the nursery that are going into the gym next door. Pointed out she had clearly only parked there coz she bought a car too big for her to drive properly coz even in the extra wide parent and child space they were over 2 of them. Inconsiderate arse! Some of us actually have kids and could do with the extra space to get them in and out! :@ :@

Ban them from public roads I say, absolutely no reason they need to be there, they weren't designed for that purpose and it seems illogical why they are allowed to in the UK. If you want four wheels because your too useless to handle a bike, use a car.

It's really frustrating when someone tells you you can't do something but offers no explanation as to why.. especially when the other person then starts getting shirty with you.

I ended up discussing it with someone else who then proceeded to explain why I couldn't do something in about 15 second flat

My car, starting to cost me money now, in the last 6 months ive had the rocker head gasket go, cheap easy fix, power steering hose split, more expensive fix and now noticed another oil leak and traced it back to the oil breather pipe, guessing that when i sorted the gasket thats caused more pressure which has forced its way out the breather pipe, bloody thing has only done 71000 miles, time to let it go i think

CT, most engines these days don't have pressure inside the engine (other than above the pistons), it's nearly always under a partial vacuum - engine fumes are sucked into the inlet manifold and burnt as part of the combustion process.
If you've got an engine breather leak, I'd check to make sure the breather itself isn't clogged or maybe a split in the piping' which will also cause poor running due to air leaking into the intake through the split. Hth.

Yeah should have been explained it better, its the hose is blocked which has then caused it to split, well at least from what i can see, i dunno fed up now haha oh and to top it off i was watching my nice new blu ray copy of logan tonight got 3 quatwrs in and the bastard keeps freezing at a certain point so now gotta return that!

Drat. :(
I noticed that my little Vito had some oil appearing on the exhaust manifold, and I thought I'd traced it to the breather valve on the top of the rocker cover the other day.?

Feedback surveys.

I get why that are about, and I'm encouraged businesses want to improve service, but it seems you can't make an online transaction without a bloody feedback survey these days. I literally just ordered a refill gas cylinder via an web form with my gas provider and I got a feedback survey. I didn't even interact with anyone! I'm not bothering these days unless there was something outstandingly good or bad about the service.

The best was a little while ago I did one, and at the end of it, there was a mini survey on their survey!!! FFS!

Facebook selling!

I put my old Honda up for sale on a couple of the bike groups and have had it removed as it doesn't meet facebooks selling guidelines, I have sent them an email with the list of their policies and clearly explained in each one why my bike does not brake that rule..... I may have over stepped the mark when I put......
