Francheezy: airtel gives one gb for one k

are you sure about this? Hope it's not the bb thingy you're talking about

I've created a drop box app for android apps and will be uplading apps there. SO if you need any android app, lemme know. I'll upload it to dropbox and drop a link. Cheers

indigene: My andriod tablet do connect to some open non secured wifi network, but will not browse,.
How can this case be rectified?.

Are you sure the networks you connected to can access the internet? Not all wifi networks are for internet access. Some are for data sharing etc. Also, if the network is kinda weak, browsing will be poor or completely unavailable

If it's about speed, then i don't know. Depends on your area. Network strenght is better in certain areas as compared with others.

As regards bandwidth.....i still dunno. Glo offers 13mb for N100, which is a pretty good deal relative to other networks' N100 plans. It also lasts well if you restrict yourself to just chatting and light browsing, even on an android phone (if you turn off auto updates anyway. However, as costs increase, I think it becomes different. MTN offers 260mb for N1000 (100mb + bonus) which is not a bad deal. THey also offer 750mb for N2000 (500mb + bonus) which is pretty awesome and i don't think any other network has a similar plan. Also, you can rollover your balance bandwidth from a previous month to the following if you renew your subscriptin before it expires.

Just compare all of them sha and find what suits your pocket.

Oh, forgot to add. You might want to keep moving apps to your SD and Linking them regularly especially if you keep installing new apps to keep your internal memory clear.

If you are using an android phone with not enough internal memory, it can be such a pain when your phone continually tells you that you are running low on internal memory. Once the phone’s internal memory gets low, it begins to slow down, hang sometimes and even prevent you from installing more apps. This is a huge complaint from people using phones like the HTC Chacha, Samsung Galaxy Mini, Tecno N3, etc, all of which have less than 250MB of internal memory. Even if you have 1Gb of internal memory, you’ll find that you can quickly use up up to half the memory and your phone begins to perform less optimally. This is a fix that will help you get around the low internal memory problem.
What you need:
· A computer
· Your android phone (must be rooted)
· A memory card (preferably 4gb and above. You can use less (1gb, 2gb) but i would recommend something bigger)
· Minitool partition wizard software installed on your computer (download here)
· Link2SD installed on your android phone.

The Procedure
· Connect your phone to your computer in data storage mode

· Back up existing files on the memory card to the computer

· Format memory card, preferably a full format.

· Open Minitool partition wizard

· Locate your SD Card (memory card), right click and select move/resize

· A new window will open with a slider. Drag the slider to the left to create empty space on your memory card. Create up to 512mb/1Gb depending on your personal preference then click okay.

· Now you will see an unallocated partition under your memory card. Right click it and select “create”.

· Use the following parameters: Partition Label-Any name you chose; Create as- Primary; Drive Letter- Choose any; File System: FAT32; Cluster Size-Default.

· Click OK

· Locate Apply in the top left corner of the app window and click it

· Wait for the changes to be applied. After it is done, disconnect your phone from your PC

· Now on the phone, go to the Google Play store (or any other app market you have installed on your android phone) and download Link2SD

· Once it is done downloading and installing, run the app.

· Super user will ask for permissions for running this app. Select “Allow”

· Next, the app will try to build a list of all the apps installed on your phone. When it is done, it will ask you to select a partition type. Select FAT32. After this, you will be asked to restart your phone to mount the new partition. Restart the phone.

· Once it is done restarting, open Link2SD again.

· If you did things correctly, you won’t be asked for super user permissions or to select partition type again. This time, the app will go directly to a list of all the apps installed on your phone (both system and third party apps)

· Now push your menu button, then select the button marked “multiselect”. A checkbox will appear beside all the apps

· Then select “select all”. All the check boxes will now be marked. (Note that certain apps won’t be marked. These are system apps and can’t be moved. Also note that moving certain apps will cause their widgets to malfunction if they are already in use. Also, certain apps (like Facebook and Ubersocial) will become irregular with notifications after being moved, so you might want to uncheck those. However, if you don’t really care about the notifications from those apps, you can leave them checked)

· Next, push the button marked “action” and a list appears. From this list, select “move to SD card” (at this point, you might get a prompt asking you to enable USB debugging. Select OK, and a setting page would appear. Check enable USB Debugging, then OK if a pop up appears. Once this is done, return to Link2SD, select actions and then select “move to SD card”

· Wait for the apps to be moved to the SD card. Once this is done, you will be returned to the apps list. Push the menu button, select multi select, then select all. Select actions but this time, select “Create Link”. A new screen would appear with three options that have checkboxes beside them. Check all three boxes, then select OK (or create link, depending on what version f Link2SD you are using)

· Wait for the links to be created and Voila, your memory problems are solved! Check your available internal memory and you’ll see ample space is now available and your phone will stop notifying you of low memory errors.

NOTE: If, after doing this, your app notifications stop or widgets stop working, you might have to change the notifications settings in the app’s settings. If this doesn’t work, you might want to move the app back to phone memory. Follow this short procedure.

· Open link2SD
· When the apps list has loaded, locate the app you want to move back
· Select the app, then select move to phone.
· Wait while it moves the app to the phone memory
· That’s pretty much it.

So there you have it, memory problem solved. I’ll try to make a video of it to make it clearer (or find a video someone has already posted on youtube if there is one) and update you guys with a link. Till then, enjoy your android phone!

Masco2006: Hello gurus in the house, am using airtel tecno n3 i cant download softwares from google play. its telling me incompatible to airtel tecno n3, what can i do? Pls

Get aptoide or 1mobile market.. Nearly all the apps on the play store are on either of them... And with aptoide you get to download paid apps completely free.

Umarr: @HOLLASLYD pls bro can I follow Galaxy Grand procedure to root ma Galaxy Note2 baseband version N7100XXLHE... I must recommend U for being patient with the audience.. Nice work buddy!

Hmmm, don't think so. Each phone have their own root procedures, though some are more similar than others. You'll find a few guides for rooting the note 2 N7100 @ this link. Used the Odin procedure and it worked perfectly for my friend's note 2: [url] www.android.gs/root/samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100/[/url]

Last weekend, a friend of mine told me he would like to buy an internet tablet but wasn't quite sure which to get between an Ipad and a Galaxy Tab (from Samsung). While i've given him a piece of my mind for even considering the apple option (lolz, don't mind me, just joking!), i realized that some other people out there might be facing a similar quandary after deciding to get one of these two awesome gadgets. I'll take a look at different aspects of the Ipad/Galaxy Tab experience and try to help such people come to a decision (or poke a finger in the eyes of iSheep...kidding!).



The versions in focus are the most recent of both (Ipad 4 and Galaxy Tab 10.1)

Cost

The galaxy tabs (all it's variants) is cheaper than the Ipad on every count; cost of acquisition (how much you buy it), cost of maintenance/repairs and cost of accessories.

Design

I love the galaxy tab. I really do. But, as regards design, I think Apple did a better job with their iPad than samsung did with the tab. I mean, it might just be me but does any one else think the tab's fram is a bit too wide? I feel Samsung could have sacrificed more of that width for more screen. It looks especially tacky on the white version of the tab. Besides, the iPad 4 (like pretty much all the other iPads) looks like it was created to be used both in landscape and portrait orientations. But the length to width ratio of the tab makes it look like it's meant only to be used in landscape...not really cool, in my books.



Data Intensiveness

For those that don't understand, this is the device's propensity to use up data. It's pretty much how fast your internet subscription would expire while using one of these devices. If you ask me, between the iPad and the Galaxy Tab, there's really not much to choose when talking about data intensiveness. Both devices are data intensive, which means if you are planning to get one of these babies, you really shouldn't be considering a N1000, 100mb subscription if you truly want to enjoy either device. While I know there are apps that help control data usage on android devices, i'm not too sure if there are for iOS (iPad). No winner here.

Apps

Normally, I would say no winners here either; both iPad (iOS) and the Galaxy Tab (android) have loads and loads of apps in their app store and Play store respectively. However, where I think the Galaxy Tab (android) pips the Ipad (iOS) is the ease with which you can get free apps or get premium apps for free. If you are the crooked type (hehe) that doesn't like buying apps, you can find most premium android apps online for free (if you know where to look). With iOS, however, it's much more difficult. Tab wins here.

Memory

Both Devices pack a good sized internal memory as they don't come with memory expansion options. The Tab has just two variants: the 16Gb and 32gb variants. The Ipad 4 gives more internal memory options, at their respective costs. The four variants are 16gb, 32gb,64gb and 128gb. Both come with 1gb of RAM. Seems like the iPad wins here, for having more choices as regards device internal memory.



Camera

Both devices come with both front and back facing cameras. However, the Tab's back camera is a disappointing 3.15MP. The Ipad 4 on the other hand, packs a 5.0MP camera and a 1.2MP front camera. This one goes to iPad.

Screen Size

There are no winners here as preference is relative. Some people like wide screens others don't. The ipad is 9.5 inches long and 7.3 inches wide, while the Tab is 10.10 inches long and 6.9 inches wwide. The Tab is obviously longer but the iPad is wider, a small advantage in the design in my opinion that makes it look more suited for both landscape and portrait orientations.

Availability

No winners here either. Both are readily available in most (if not all) major mobile phones/gadgets retailers.


My Recommendation:

I love android, so naturally, I would think Galaxy Tab. However, if you want better screen resolution, a device thaat looks good in both landscape and portrait orientations, a pretty good camera and a wider range of internal memory options when choosing a device, I would advise you get an iPad 4. You must be able to cough up at least N100,000 for it as well. However, if you are looking for something that you can customize and tweak easily to suit you, get bucketloads of apps foor free (or find them somewhere else if they are not) without having to totally empty your bank account and withdraw your life savings, you really should get a Galaxy Tab.




I would still personally recommend the Tab, though

Mayorwer:
Navi x or amo navi x.what I saw was amo navi x.is it the same thing ?

I guess they are pretty much the same

Nixo: Say a big BYE to Dstv. thanks poster

You're welcome!

BlackBaron: Or use navi x. Better interface, greater choices of football streams plus more.
Today's live match via Espn on android.

Navi X looks great....but I just searched it on the play store...would have to cough up $2.99 for it....not much of course, but many of us don't exactly have credit cards....besides, free is the point!

Okay, I already posted this in the phones section but since it's for the benefit of those that love watching matches, I might as well post it here as well.

Okay, just imagine you're stuck I traffic one fine Saturday afternoon. You're rushing home to watch the match between Manchester United and Manchester city but one tout has started a fight with a bus conductor and there seems to be no end of the traffic in sight....and neither are okadas. Or you want to watch the el classic but your mother in law wants to watch el cuepro del deseo and you know you've got to oblige the old lady. What to do? Enter Sybla TV.

I stumbled on sybla tv one day while rushing home from Ikeja to watch a match. Traffic was hell and I realized there was no way I could get home before the match was over so I started hunting for match streaming apps for my HTC Merge. Luckily, I found sybla TV on apptoide and since then, DSTV? Pshaw. Sybla TV streams live TV channels from the abu dhabi-dubai-morocco-tunisia region, meaning you get channels like mbc 1 to 4, and some other channels. Great thing about sybla TV is that it's not just for watching matches...you can also watch movies, news and documentaries....though most of the news and documentary channels are in Arabic.

As for the main reason for this post, watching live matches, Sybla tv features Al Jazeera sports 1-8 ad so far, I've been able to watch the Italian Serie A, Spanish la Liga, French Ligue 1, German Bundesliga and Portuguese Liga Sagres. I was also able to watch the Coppa Italia, Coppa Del Rey, Coupe della ligue and DFB Pokal.

I'm not a fan of English football so I've not checked if you can get to watch the English premier league, FA Cup or Capital One cup on sybla TV but it also has SkySports 1-8 and, as skysports is a British channel, i'm sure you can get to watch the Premier League and even the lower English leagues.

Commentary on Al Jazeera sports is in Arabic so get ready to watch matches with commentary you can't understand though that is a small price to pay for getting to watch the match instead of missing it altogether. Commentary on skysports is in English however, so premier league fans should get the best of it.

Resolution wise, it's a 50-50 issue. On the Al Jazeera channels, resolution is match dependent. Sometimes the resolution and picture quality are quite good. Other times it's just okay, though not great. However, skysports is always in High Quality so better for premier league fans.

All in all, out of five, I would rate sybla TV a 4.5.

I tried searching for sybla TV on the google play market but it wasn't there so I had to download it from Apptoide. Download and use of both Sybla TV and Apptoide are free. Data charges apply though so this isn't for 10mb data plans because streaming live Tv is data intensive.

Note: To use Sybla TV, you need to have MX PLayer installed on your android phone. MX player is free to download from the google play store. Sybla tv requires no accounts or signing up...just download and use. Pretty awesome!
