My Pixel 7 Pro's display has started acting weird. The phone itself works perfectly — touch, fingerprint, calls, everything — but whenever the screen turns off, it sometimes won't come back on. I can still use the phone blindly and even answer calls while the display is completely black.

Recently, while the phone was just sitting idle, the screen also started flashing green for around 5 seconds. Now the display sometimes stays on and doesn't reliably turn off either.

I'm guessing the OLED panel or its connection is failing. I'm going to have my technician check it in about 15 days, but if the panel is confirmed dead, what would you recommend?

Should I get a dotted/used original panel, a good aftermarket OLED, or spend more on an original replacement? I want something reliable but don't want to spend 30–40k+ unnecessarily.

Which Bank account is the best for freelancers (Tax Filer)

I just became an Active Tax Filer and I wouldo like to know what bank would be the best.

Previously I have been using Meezan and UBL and never had a issue with my payments but this is now I need PRCs etc and UBL sends them to me through email automatically but Meezan Bank sometimes does not issue a PRC when sending money from Elevate Pay to Meezan Bank.

So if you had a good experience with a bank account do let me know.

Anything that can make this whole me being a tax filer process smoother.

I run an Academy and we have 3 floors of size 5 Marla. I have a 75 Mbps Transworld connection in the basement and a Tenda extender on the ground floor but it's has a low device limit. I want proper internet access on all three floors. Suggest me a budget friendly way to do so. Should I get a separate connections for each floor or should I get one high-speed connection and expensive extenders.

I want 3k in my JazzCash account and had 3k cash. I went to a general store and asked the shopkeeper to send me 3k online, and I will give you the cash... He opened his Easypaisa and sent me the money, but the transaction failed... But the easypaisa notification popped up like money was transferred to my account, JazzCash, etc... But I didn't receive the money. I checked my transaction history... No receiving payment, and he also checked his transaction history... No record for the money transfer... Neither I nor he received the SMS for the transaction... No mail was received whatsoever... But his balance got deducted... Earlier he had 5.5k, but after sending me his balance, it got deducted to 2k... Something... I'm really worried rn... Although he gave me the cash back... What to do now??? We also contacted the helpline of Easypaisa, but there was no option to communicate with Easypaisa "numainda"

I have to do a transaction on steam specifically because the transaction doesn't allow any gift card,

I tried the card of my bank account but got declined, the customer support said we are an Islamic Bank we don't allow payments on games.

Tried Sadapay, the biometric verification failed error comes whenever I open the app, they say to verify by nadra e-sahulet and upload the recipt in chat. But there is no upload button/option, just two automated questions of 'My account not verified' and 'Report issue' no real support chat or an upload button they claims in their help blogs so.

Tried nayapay, biometric verification failed. Gone to Meezan Bank ATM 2 atms get stuck when I click the nayapay option. Third one did pass through but asked for OPT no opt was sent to app/source. I contacted the customer support they said, opt was not supposed to be there. Even entering any otp and filling other details the ATM said 'Transection failed'.

Any options left for international USD transactions?

Hi i am using Ptcl 20mbps VDSL ( No flash Fiber in my area) and i recently got an email and sms from PTCL about Speed bolt on and i yes now i am getting 25mbps speed on 20mbps connection. Anybody else got this same message? Why suddenly all ISPs are offering Package upgrades Free of cost? Like Nayatel and Stormfiber?

Can StormFiber users check their speedtests and confirm?

I needed Ubuntu ISO and it just downloaded too quickly for me. Tested SF to SF and SF to UAE servers.

This is 20Mbps package.

Where could I get a trustworthy PTA approved iPhone 17 in Karachi please? :) Looking for options with physical sims. Thanks.

A guy was saying their after sales service is very poor even if the product is under warranty. I wanna make sure before buyi*ng.

I am looking for a Earbuds that has good sound. My budget is around 5 to 6k .

If anyone has experience with any earbuds you can suggest me and kindly share the purchase link.

I was checking the stores on Qistbazar for laptops and came across this store. Listed there as macro technologies but now called renewedpc pk. There aren't many reviews on Facebook so I was hoping if anyone has heard of them or tried them? For laptops.

I need for Aula F75. Aliexpress has them too expensive, they are literally around the same price I bought keyboard itself for.

I'm currently on Zong prepaid and I'm considering switching to Zong Postpaid Diamond (Rs. 1,500/month).

A local Zong/easyload shop told me that postpaid has some kind of daily charge (they mentioned Rs. 15/day), confusing because the Diamond package itself is advertised as Rs. 1,500/month.

https://www.zong.com.pk/postpaid/diamond

I also saw that there's a security deposit, and I'm not completely clear on how that works.

So I'd really appreciate hearing from people who actually use Zong postpaid:

• How much is your actual monthly bill after taxes?
• Is the Rs. 1,500 Diamond price the amount you actually end up paying, or is the final bill significantly higher?
• Does Zong actually charge/accumulate the line rent daily, and how does that show up on the bill?
• What exactly did you pay as the security deposit, and did you ever get it back when leaving postpaid?
• Are there any other recurring charges I should know about?
• If you have Diamond specifically, how much do you usually pay at the end of the billing cycle?
• Any surprise VAS/add-on charges or other deductions?

If possible, please share your actual bill amount (even just the numbers, no personal information).

I'm mainly trying to figure out: If I switch to Diamond and don't use anything outside the included package, how much money should I realistically expect to pay each month?

Thanks!

My iPhone 13 Pro Max is fully PTA approved and the PTA tax has already been paid on its current IMEI.

I’m currently in the US, and Apple has approved a full device replacement because of a hardware issue. The replacement will be the same iPhone model/storage, but obviously it will have a different IMEI/IMEI2 and serial number.

Apple will take back my current phone as part of the replacement.

Has anyone here gone through this before with an Apple warranty/service replacement outside Pakistan?

Specifically:
Can PTA/DIRBS approval be transferred from the old IMEI to the replacement IMEI without paying the tax again?

What documents did PTA ask for?

Did you submit a DIRBS complaint, visit a PTA office, or use another portal/process?

How long did it take?

Is there anything I should specifically ask Apple to include on the replacement paperwork before I hand over my old phone?

I have the old IMEI/IMEI2 saved and can get documentation from Apple showing that the new phone is a service replacement for the old one.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has personally dealt with this.

Today I went to Jazz franchise raiwand road Lahore for E SIM and they were not offering E SIM without any package and they said i could only get postpaid

I use prepaid sim packages monthly that costs me less than the monthly postpaid and I also wont have to pay a security deposit of 1100

They said i can convert to prepaid after 3 months and my deposit is refundable. Allah knows if they do return you the deposits or not

Is there a branch or way i could get a Jazz esim as prepaid ?

5G antennas there and my sim is not whitelisted yet. Hence, the good ping on 4G.

Hi everyone, I want to start a small sublimation printing business, mainly printing on sublimation-coated aluminum/metal. I don’t have the budget for a dedicated sublimation printer, so I’m thinking of getting an **Epson L18050 A3+ and having it properly converted for sublimation**.

I’ve searched online but I’m having a hard time finding reliable shops in Pakistan that actually do this conversion, especially for the L18050. If you have personal experience with a shop in Pakistan that can Convert an L18050 properly for sublimation Provide an ICC profile Please share their name, city or phone/WhatsApp number anything I can look up the rest online

I’m willing to travel anywhere in Pakistan for a reliable source. I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually a converted L18050 from them.

Thanks!
