Follow this simple steps to stop your Android phones from burning up your browsing airtime/data (MB) without your consent:

SETTINGS => ACCOUNTS & SYNC => BACKGROUND DATA (Please unmark/deselect)

Now you can enjoy a long lasting browsing experience...

To anticipated buyers of Android phones, I recommend Tecno Smart Phones. Am sure you'll like them; the cheapest and nice Android phones in the market.

What's the cheapest and best data plan one can use on MTN for an android phone?

I bought mine N13,000 here in Abuja, but you might even get it cheaper than that.

If MTN was your first line and your android has two sim slots just like N3, I suggest you go get Airtel sim and subscribe to their 1 Month BIS as you can also use this plan on android phones. MTN has no cheap data plan.

Thank you, Kizyte. That was my initial plan but airtel network is very bad in my area. It fluctuates between 3G and GPRS. Whenever it does that browsing becomes extremely sluggish. That was why I decided to go for MTN instead.

I think Airtel is working hard to expand their network outreach. Just be patient...

Slide your finger across your screen, from top to center to open notification. Find and touch the bluetooth alert to pair and accept file. I hope this solves your problem.

Am sorry you're having such problems with your N3. Check your phone for wrong rooting. You can try hard reset or format. Also make sure you reserve atleast 50MB space on your internal memory for better performance of your device.

G2 is a nice phone, with 4GB internal storage capacity & 8GB SD Card but the problem is that it doesn't offer tethering or mobile hot spot capabilities. Also runs on android os 2.2 which is older, and above all, expensive. Unlike Tecno N3 which runs on 2.3, supports wifi hot spot, and very affordable.

I learnt mtn BIS has stopped working on other phones except blackberry. Is it working on your android? When did you subscribe last?

MTN BIS isn't constant on other devices.

Of course you don't expect to see "Background Data" on N7 cos it runs on os 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The tips above is meant for 2.3 Gingerbread, but you can follow same steps. On ACCOUNT & SYNC, look for other menu that's related to BACKROUND DATA.
You must not root your phone in order to disable background applications.
