Finally a topic has been opened on this fairly used phone I have been using and it is from China. It has a malware and I can't remove it cos the instruction I could follow to have it removed is written in Mandarin

Learn Mandarin then to have it removed.

Is that too difficult?

This is the price you pay if you dont manufacture your own technologies. I thought some people were saying USA was hating on china when they banned Hauwei.

SPYWARES were also found in the African Union building that the Chinese built for Africans.

This is the classic Greek gift.


If y don't know why you are given Sovereign Loans with Clauses in Africa and NIGERIA especially, to take over your Assets and Territories with ease!.I don't blame them.Recently, Malaysia Prime Minister rejected such gifts because everything about the Loan is Chinese made!(Chinese Labourers,Chinese inputs,Chinese Language,Chinese repayment method)
But in Nigeria my country,the Loan was signed blank! Even the Minister involved was quoted saying they should leave it like that-something that children unborn will be repaying! The Minister and his cronies will not allow Nigerians to know it,discuss it but signed it.Is this loan for Political motives?.Time will surely tell!

You got rid of them only to get another Chinese phone that have even be banned in the US grin. Even iPhone is produced in China. The problem is our quality regulation policies/agencies. They may as well send only the defective and malware infected iPhone to Africa.

they just always say knowledge without sharing is nothing, he was just sounding ignorant so i thought of explaining stuffs to him, since he has only choose the part of ignorance, so explaining things to that kind of people will be useless.

You're absolutely right. In most African countries especially in Nigeria, right priorities are never prioritized. And that is why our economy, our educational, public health, power, financial, agricultural, housing, transportation...sectors are in dire straits. We now ever than before need to get our priorities right else we'd perpetually be taken advantage of by the West, the Chinese and the rest of the world.

Though Chinese smart phones manufacturing companies may be guilty of the allegations. Is Google not spying on the whole world? Because it came from US no one bother of that threat to their privacy...

All are the same, it'll be better for Africa to think on how to become manufacturing continent, not buyers of every finished products.
na persin like you somebody supposed to dey chat with. America is the greatest spy nation in the world. Every dirty little trick China is using today was learnt from America. Just because China is now the global spy leader we no go hear word again. I like a balanced perspective on issues. What China is doing is not nice though. Karma is a bitch and the chickens will surely come home to roost one day

Re: Chinese Are Selling Tecno Phones With Built-in Malware In Africa by Nobody: 8:07am On Aug 26, 2020
When your Tecno phone wants to give up. It will start downloading shit up and down, things you never subscribed for from Adam.

And the phone will still be looking new, perhaps you even changed the battery recently while trying to fix it's headache.

Finally you flash it, it continues downloading those shit, blocking your screen, hanging and so on.

I think they do those things to place a life span and render the phone useless to the buyer so they can purchase another one.

It happened to my Tecno Phantom 1. Experienced it wth a 2nd one then I dumped Tecno.

Thank you! The only poster to point out the real issue. The vast majority of Nigerians are poor ditto Africans, so why and who do posters expect these people to be able to purchase Apple or Samsung products? This is the result of being poor, one has no choice.

dont blame Chinese companies, blame your regulatory bodies for allowing everything into your country. China is an open market and whatever you want, whatever quality would be produced for you at any cost you want. Please note that iPhone and Samsung are also produced in China

Even tho, I don’t use them china phones.. I always knew face unlock is definitely one coded tools for these folks.. I’ve never used it even on iPhone..

The best way to lock and unlock your phone is either via password or pin. Even finger prints, I don’t trust em.

This is another reason why people should desist from taking their naked pictures..

China nah one evil country. But I love the fact that they’re displaying the disadvantages of technology to the whole world..

Phones are not just called mobile phones anymore but smart phone.. It means you gotta be smart with whatever you wanna do with your phone!!

Blackberry goofed up for real. Still have my Q5 and Curve 3 archived.

Nokia messed up initially but are gradually taking back market shares. All they need to work on is the space taken up by their OS. It's way too much.

It's an open secret that Chinese companies can not be trusted on quality and security issues. But there's a limit you would expect them to go. It does however, seems like they are ready to descend to the lowest hell if that would make profit for them.

At a time when America is mobilising the West not to use China-linked companies in 5G network, and banning Chinese tech like Tiktok, one would expect them to be more accountable. Apparently, they are turning to Africa to continue with their nefarious activities.

Only God knows how many companies are engaged in many of the evils China is exporting.

I experience this on a tecno m5 phone I bought in 2014 around 2016 the phone was so bad with malware that it auto update everything, downloading pornographic contents on its own, installing some useless apps on the phone I had to stop using it sold the garbage for 5k to one corper that needed phone to whatsapp

does google open sites on your phone by itself?
Does google install malware to your device?
Does google disturb you with ads?

No matter what os you're using your data will end up being collected,your manufacturer would also collect some data.....all we need are trust worthy brands like the likes of the iPhone,nokia,samsung and even the Google pixel in the market which are from companies that have less protecting users data.
all the phones you mentioned are not trusted..

Not until Google install app by itself before you know you're gone the ones that are already there is enough to collect data and spy on you...

Google duo
Google mail
Google playstore
Google earth
Etc are all collecting data for USA

Seriously Africa must be wary of china as a worst evil than collonial evil. Africa must estchew their dependent syndrome towards other developed countries as these people are out to exploit and still millions for the cent they brought to Africa. The equation is never balanced towards Africa, but the ball is in Africa's court to see these and thread gently. The leadership in africa is behind these negative narrative.

gionee is guilty of this

Very true. I use one of their products and only for data subscriptions to surf the web cos the phone is very fast. I've never recharged on the phone for over 7 months now.
Back when I got the phone from jumia, once I recharge, the money disappears via SMS I did not send. That's the malware being talked about here.

Thank God I don't use Tecno. Very soon I'll stop using Chinese branded devices altogetherundecided undecided

A friend of mine told me last year he would never used any Chinese made phone again in his life. I asked him how about the high-end Chinese phones, he still said no. He didn't state the reason but something told me it has to do with something serious. BTW, the guy is a lawyer.
