check out CM browser on play store. It's like I have been browsing on slow motion before this. Test it out on Edge network.

How did you discover it?

I got it on your recommendation and I must say I am impressed with it's speed. MTN at home can't operate on 3g and so I am doomed to edge but this cm browser is saving me.

Does it use any form of compression?
Re: Android, Anyone? Part II by Leopantro: 4:29pm On Jul 25, 2014
the compression has to awesome fo it to be that fast. have you noticed that when you download with it, it takes a few seconds before it starts.

Please i have a problem. I recently bought this samsung galaxy s3(AT&T) from a friend. when i started using it, i notice it does not see network when am inside any building, so i thought of getting an application that would boost the signal strength. I bust into this app called arizapatch online for reviving network. i downloaded it and followed all the process for it installation. After the installation, it ask me to reboot which i did. Sadly, the phone is not just booting again. it says "could not do normal booting" and some other stuff. I tried to flash the rom (because i can boot into download mode ) with various firmware i got from sammobile using odin. But Odin keeps failing during the flashing process. I dont know what to do again and this is really frustrating me. Please, any advice, suggestion or recommendation would be highly appreciated.

grin grin grin grin i can't laugh.

but what magic did you think the app would do?
you are using a phone which does not use all the nigerian network bands.
the reason network is poor on it is that the Nigerian network bands that can go further and penetrate buildings well are not supported/well supported by the phone's radio.
usually you will find out that some networks (usually etisalat/glo) work better on such phones


Rule of thumb henceforth: AVOID NETWORK BRANDED UNLOCKED PHONES.


to your problem: ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE TRYING TO FLASH AT&T STOCK ROMS? be very very sure!
i know such ROMS are usually scarce.

if the phone has been updated to Android 4.3 then you most likely have the kernel locked and issues with KNOX. downgrading the baseband is almost impossible.

If you are, please let us know exactly what the error on ODIN says.
there is a log window in it. post the output

Note: please be sure you are ticking and unticking the right boxes in ODIN. and Try to use other ORIGINAL usb cables. (i'm presuming you have drivers installed and ODIN detects the phone)

or better still just take it to a competent tech who can flash it. can't take more than 15 mins

Bro!! thanks for your quick response. i really cant appreciate it enough. Your explanation has really opened my eyes to the truth regarding network branded phones. I actually got the AT & T stock firmware through sammobile after a specific search on the phone model number which is "sgh-i747".
The phone has already been upgraded to 4.3 Jelly beansembarassed . As regard the flashing you talk about, will it solve the problem or its still under maybe?
Besides, do you reside in lagos? can you help me with the flashing? I will really like someone like you to solve the problem because am really convinced that you are indeed a phone specialist. Please, if you are not in lagos, kindly recommend any competent tech you know of in lagos.Thanks bro. waiting for your response!

Re: Android, Anyone? Part II by Leopantro: 2:30pm On Jul 26, 2014
n you write on Android? Yes, you can. What all? Anything you want basically. You can write anything from short notes, to articles like this, to a screenplay.

If you are not put off by the small screen sizes anymore (it’s the age of big screen phones anyway) and you feel that you could get some writing done on the phone if only you knew the right tools (read apps), then this post is for you. So, without further ado, here’s how to get writing done efficiently on Android.

1. Writing In JotterPad X
Android doesn’t have nearly as many writing apps as iOS (really, the difference is huge) but that doesn’t matter because it has one awesome app - JotterPad X: Writer. It’s a one-stop solution to all your writing needs on Android.

The app is free but with limitations. You can import documents from Dropbox, revert to past versions, even write in Markdown (or a screenplay in .fountain format), all for free.


But if you are willing to pay $5 as an in-app purchase, this simple app will turn into a fully featured text editor. The in-app purchase will give you access to research tools where you can bring up a fully featured dictionary and thesaurus in a popup window, all without ever leaving the app.

If you’re planning to write on your Android tablet, with or without a Bluetooth keyboard, JotterPad X is what you need. It has an extendable keyboard to add most used shortcuts, multiple themes and fonts and a really clean UI.

2.Manage Your Thoughts And Ideas
If you’re going to write a lot, you’re going to think a lot. And while you can fool yourself into thinking that you’ll remember an idea the next morning, you know you won’t.

Better to note down any thought as and when it comes to mind. The way I do it is I keep two different note taking solutions. One to just quickly jot down stuff and one to note down the details when I’m actually sitting down and doing my research.

For simple note taking, I’d recommend Simplenote. The Android client works well and you can access you notes online as well. There’s also Google’s own Keep. Having them as widgets on the homescreen helps a lot.

For a more detailed approach to note taking, where you need better formatting, Evernote is the best. It’s a great app to create an outline in.

3. Look Up Definition Without Leaving The App
JotterPad X’s paid upgrade allows you to have a dictionary right inside your writing window, but if you don’t want to/can’t pay for that in-app purchase, there is a free workaround.


I’ve written about it in detail here. You can use it in any app that has the share menu integrated (which JotterPad X sadly does not). After installing WordLookup, just select a word and from the sharing menu, select WordLookup. The app will show the definition as a popup for a couple of seconds. And you’ll know if you’ve used the word in the correct sense or not.

4. Get A Dedicated Dictionary App
To get better aquatinted with words you don’t know, get a dictionary app. You’ve got a lot of choices. You can get an offline dictionary app or look at established options like the Dictionary.com app.

5. Grammar And Spell Check With Ginger
Ginger Page & Grammar Keyboard uses the best of Android tools at its disposal and the company’s amazing English language engine to bring you a streamlined writing experience.

You can write inside the app and make use of the app’s great spell check and grammar tool but that’s like buying a Ferrari and driving it at speed limit.



Enable the Ginger external keyboard to use it to write in apps like JotterPad. This way you get powerful writing tools of JotterPad and great spell check and grammar all on one screen.

Ginger’s spell check works differently than other third party keyboards. It won’t auto correct anything. When you’re done with a sentence or a paragraph, scroll through the corrections, swipe up to delete something you think the app got wrong, then tap the checkmark and all the changes will be applied at once.

When the keyboard senses a grammatical mistake or a broken sentence structure, it will activate the Feather button. Tap on it to solve the mistakes.

I think JotterPad X and Ginger keyboard make a great combination for writers on the go. Also, if you’re going to write a lot on your Android tablet, I suggest you get a Bluetooth keyboard. Typing on a touch screen keyboard, no matter how advanced, just can’t be as good as a physical keys.

Editing With Android Apps
I’ve tried writing on my Android phone and on my iPhone as well. I could never do it. But I found a great use case for these apps. I use them for editing and proofreading a long article. When I’ve written too much for the day, the last thing I want to do is look at my default text editor.

So I switch to the iPad or Android and as I use Dropbox to save my files, they are on all my devices. This closed, one-app-per-screen environment is great for editing. It helps you focus. And thanks to something like Ginger keyboard, I can take care of silly typos and grammatical mistakes as well.
