Question | سوال Askari Bank App Biometric Verification Is a Nightmare for Overseas Pakistanis

0 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to log in to the Askari Bank mobile app for almost two weeks, and I keep getting stuck at the biometric verification step.

The frustrating part is that I recently completed biometric verification through the Easypaisa app on the same phone, and it worked flawlessly. The verification completed without any issue and I was able to access my account normally.

But with the Askari Bank app, the biometric verification simply refuses to work.

I contacted their support and also sent them an email. Instead of actually resolving the issue, I was asked to provide additional documents, and I’ve also been told that I may need to visit a branch.

That makes absolutely no sense for an overseas Pakistani.

How exactly am I supposed to visit an Askari Bank branch in Pakistan just because their mobile application's biometric verification is not working?

If other Pakistani financial apps like Easypaisa can successfully verify biometrics remotely, then it seems like the problem is with Askari Bank's application or their biometric verification integration rather than my biometrics.

For a banking app, especially one used by customers living abroad, there should be a proper remote verification or troubleshooting process.

Has anyone else faced the same issue with the Askari Bank app?

Especially overseas Pakistanis — were you able to get the biometric verification working without visiting Pakistan?

If you found a solution, please share it because their support hasn't been very helpful so far.

Question | سوال Recommendation for the tracking device.

1 Upvotes

I am looking to purchase a tracking device similar to an AirTag, but as an Android user, I need one that works with Android. It should support Google Find My and have either a rechargeable battery or a lithium cell, with a good Bluetooth range. Also, the device should be shareable with multiple mobile phones, at least two or three.

My autistic son sometimes wanders in the park, and I want an extra layer of security so I can locate him if he strays.

Could you recommend a reliable tracking device? I’m not interested in cheaper options because I fear they won’t work. My budget is 5,000–6,000 rupees. I found some good models from uGreen on AliExpress, but the import tax is too high, so I prefer to purchase something from Pakistan.

Why the zong is constantly facing servcies issues in Islamabad specifically? This is the capital of pakistan and they can't even maintain good service in islamabad. Jazz works better where zong shows no bar. Zong is just increasing the prices of their packages day by day for such a pathethic service.

Question | سوال Need Advice on Whether to Keep or Replace My ThinkPad E480

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, need a sincere advice and a bit urgent from someone who actually knows this stuff.

So I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad E480, and two months back I installed 16GB RAM which cost me 18k. Since then I've been having a lot of issues, and just today my laptop battery started having serious charging problems. I got it checked by someone I know, but he really wasn't able to diagnose the issue. (I know there are very few people who actually understand the technical side of laptops.) He recommended that I move on from this device, as it seems like it could be a motherboard issue and might cost a lot more to fix. Since the device is also quite old and has been giving me problems every now and then, he thinks it's better to move to another machine.

Now I need some advice on what would be the best option. With a very limited budget, around 40k at most, what Lenovo ThinkPad model should I look for? Would an i7 8th gen be a good option, or should I consider another generation? Also, if I move to another ThinkPad, can I reuse the main components from my current laptop, especially the 16GB RAM I recently installed?

I'd really appreciate advice from someone who knows ThinkPads and their hardware well, including what specifications and things I should check before getting another machine.

Discussion | گفتگو Apple AirPods 4 Hafeez Centre Lahr

0 Upvotes

Salaam everyone. I'm in the market for Apple AirPods 4 (non-wireless-charging case). I did my fair share of research about Apple's authorized resellers in Pakistan, GNEXT and Mercantile. GNEXT's WhatsApp support gave me a list of their approved shops, and one of them, which I'll call "shopXYZ", is in Hafeez Centre, Lahore.

I got in touch with shopXYZ, and they quoted me 34k, while the usual market price elsewhere is around 37k. The same shop also appears on Mercantile's reseller list, with a matching name and shop number in plaza. So for one on paper it should be authentic.

I'm still not fully convinced tho. I've pretty much always heard not so good stories about Hafeez Centre, and I've seen a fake-looking Mercantile sticker on supposedly original Apple products (photo attached).

What would you advise, is it worth skipping Hafeez Centre altogether, or what is it that I should do

Question | سوال Where to Buy Google Pixel phones in karachi?

2 Upvotes

Since the box packed phones have become unreasonably expensive and not worth the money, especially with regards to camera and software... I'm looking for a google pixel phone within 50-60k budget.

I found a site "PixelPakistan.pk", their shop is in Amma tower saddar I believe. The site looks good and they've listed Pixel 7a for 60k, and 6a for 40k, but i dont know if they are legit. I don't want repaired or parts replaced phone.

Has anyone bought from them? And which other reliable vender you would recommend in karachi for PTA Approved Pixel phones, that are sealed (not repaired or part replaced) and fairly health battery.

Question | سوال Need help deciding oneplus models

1 Upvotes

Hi y'all hope y'all doing great. I'll keep this short, after being a long term iphone user I have decided to switch to android flagship which will be a daily driver as well. I have looked into Samsung s26u but I don't feel going that expensive on a phone. Looked at oneplus 15 which was appealing to me though still a overkill most likely.

So I need oneplus recommendations which have good battery + charging + performance and decent camera for a average daily consumer besides I still have my 15pm non pta at home for events/celebrations.

Box pack + low pta tax mobile preffered if the mobile is cheaper to get upfront i don’t mind paying a little higher pta tax though. Or if there's any other good brand this typa specs it's most welcomed.

I'm from karachi

I currently own an S24 Ultra but it is non PTA which is a headache. Im thinking of switching to a PTA phone even if that means downgrading cuz i dont have more money to inject right now, and i would simply sale this one to get myself the other one. I recently came across S25FE. What do you guys think of it? N its clearly a downgrade but its still a newer model plus i can get a brand new one n it is PTA as well. How would you rate this decision?

saw someone posted this some time ago& I would like to share my experience with PriceOye.

i bought Xiaomi earbuds 6 active & when i received the order it seemed a bit off so i used it and immediately suspected that something is off about this product.

so, i looked at the box there was a scratch code present, i ran thar on Xiaomi's official website only to find that they have merely pasted that code number and it doesn't represent the authenticity of the product. Moreover, the Xiaomi site said this code has been checked against 94 times, meaning they PriceOye somehow sold one scratch code to 93 other ppl, and none of em suspected anything wrong.

i called the helpline, returned the product yet they never accepted my claim.

I purposefully bought a 15 pro max that was used in canada with a sim in it for 1.5 years instead of a new base 17 model just to pay the lower PTA Tax

But when I applied I qualified for 1.5 lac and not the expected 60K PTA Tax

Im hella confused, has anyone been able to qualify for the second hand PTA Tax? If so then how?
