Why is it that sometimes if I snap pictures with Gcam, it won't get saved in my gallery? Am using custom ROM evolution x V2 for Redmi 6 pro sakura

That's how it is. It mostly happen with portraits and burst shots.

And I have heard first hand complaints of people getting short-changed by Airtel. I have even confirmed this personally on their Night plan on a few occasions. They will cut you off a few MB to the exhaustion of your data allocation. Other people have complained about their "double data" zapping. They give you 3GB and you end up being able to use 1.5GB. They might have corrected this, that I cannot confirm, but it was a major issue at one point.

Concerning data usage, I track my usage all the time and MTN has never short-changed me data allocation wise, Never! I always get to use my allocated data.
The exception to this was their Night Plan that gets cut off at exactly 3:30am instead of 4am, even with that, you still get to use your allocated 500MB. The Night plan has been revamped now and it is better albeit more expensive.

I have utilised all the Primary ISP in Nigeria at one time or the other and I dare say MTN has arguably been the most consistent of all.

And please, stop making a generalised statement based off your experience and a few others. MTN is leading the pack for so many reasons.

MTN staff I've noticed you.

Meanwhile in other news, Airtel & Glo still gives more value for money so far as data is concerned.

End of story.

Try Microsoft launcher
Next launcher messed up. It was asking me to pay cos trial period has expired. This was same one I am using on my other android For more than a year now till date. Tried out Microsoft launcher as you suggested and discovered its mot too different from nova launcher, even though nova launcher has more customization options than it. Ios launcher was not bad, it made my phone behave exactly like iPhone... Icons and gestures were perfect but it lacked the icon to launch the app drawer. Had to swipe from down to uobandbit Eil have to start from alphabet "A" not where I left off. I thought I could ensure until it started bugging me with ads even after I restricted Internet access.
I am presently rocking Samsung OS..... So sleek

If you are charging and using your phone at the same time, don't expect it to charge very fast. Leave your phone idle and guage the time and speed.

What's the name of your font biko

yak:



I was agreeing with u till the last sentence. Leading the pack in what ways biko. I know that 70% of ppl around who really use the Internet are either doing airtel or glo. If u check latest statistics from ncc, mtn is losing customers. Have u asked y mtn had to adjust dere prices from 1200 for 1.5GB to normal 1K others are doing and 1200 for 2GB?

My verdict remains "search for the network that serves u right and enjoy"
For instance in my case, glo is super fast in my office but airtel can make u throw ur phone. On the other hand airtel in my house is so sweet but glo is frustrating. I use mtn because that's the only network I can use both at home and work without hbp
We can all agree the last part of your post should be the most important right? cheesy

One of my reservation about upcoming Devices. They may create good and reliable devices. But the hard truth is that good devices alone doesnt make up a phone. Alot of things go in such as:

1 A stable OS
2 A user friendly interface
3 A very stocky or highly configurable User Interface
4 A large and well accepted platform that can be recognized by majority of other brands
5: A highly Secure and Unhackable Device
These are necessaries that go into a phone. When i see other brand users resorting to 3rd party apps to improve their phone interface..... Nevertheless Thumbs up to Xiaomi for Becoming so great in such a short while

Bros, when next you're charging your device, ensure the cable fits perfectly well into the charging port of the phone; very important otherwise, it will slow charge. To experience FC, the cable must sit well in the phone. This was the same issue lord' had with his device recently.
