waist of Money

To u it is waste of money, to an audiophile it ain't waste of money. Just like things that are not waste of money to u might be a waste of money to me. For example some people can spend over 100k on wristwatches but can't spend 5k on quality headphones. Highest I can spend on a wristwatch is 20k but I can spend 30k-50k on quality headphones. Some people spend big on belts, but highest I can spend on a belt is 5k. Different strokes for different folks.

Dude, you obviously know what is good. But just wondering, does it have to cost that much. And what is the durability like in terms of ability to withstand normal everyday use quick wear and tear? The bane of some of these common headsets that can play good sound is they are not rugged enough.

Good sound does not come cheap. There are N1,000 headsets that sound good but I am very selective.. I like good quality sound and nice bass and to get that u need to splash the cash. I used my samsung galaxy s3 headphones for 4 years before it died because the headphones that came with every other phones I've used just don't match the sound and quality. There are headphones of $30 and there are some of $100 and above. It all depends on what u can afford and what level of sound u want. Noise cancellation headphones cost even more. I currently use Sony sbh20 Bluetooth headphones and they cost me N10,000 naira. The sound is really mad and the build quality is top notch. U need to put them in ur ears to understand what I'm talking about. They are not the best in the market, but I'm not ready to spend 19kf for bose in ear headphones or beats tour. Original beats tour 2 cost about $130 while the older beats tour in ear headphones cost about $70. Change that to naira and u know how much they cost. I can't spent over 30k to buy beats headphones and next day I see a street tout wearing the clone of the same thing I'm wearing. I'd rather buy a not too popular brand with good quality.

Am extremely disappointed with the way Spectranet handles billing and usage of data. I have been using them for sometime now but I noticed from Jan this year my data runs fast. Last month I was informed I finished 50gb within 3 weeks. I called to complain I was told its unlimited now and that it's very very fast now that I must switch off my device every time am not using it . I find that really funny cos I never used to switch it off yet I could roll over up until this year. I renewed my subscription again last week Friday and lo and behold by we'd it had finished. The whole 20gb and the so called 10gb. What on earth can I be doing on line. Which body will put a check on these guys they are ripping us off.

That might be true as I also experienced it. Also do u use ur connection on ur laptop? If so then turn off automatic update on ur laptop. If u are using windows 10 u can't turn off automatic update and ur antivirus will be constantly updating. The walk around is to set ur WiFi to metered connection. Go to WiFi settings, advanved and change it. U will see significant improvement in ur data management.

Buy LG Bluetooth head phone. Neck band

That's another good headphone but there are too many fakes.

How can a pic in a torchlite phone be photo shopped

The pic might not be photoshopped but the truth is the guy is a scammer. That picture was stolen. He opens up to 2 usernames everyday to post his scam data adverts. He has now changed from the normal Infocenter to another moniker. Check below for the post he just sent out tonight. This is the link

Hello There

I've a kind of being searching for decent headphones/headset around for a while and haven't been successful. I've used the like of xiaomi piston 3 youth edition and it was good but it packed up after complications with the Jack and I haven't been able to replace it because dollar woes. So I'm asking the house to recommend a very good headset/headphones for me and possibly provide links to get them.

Ps: I'm not referring to these N200 once o.

There are lots choices depending on ur budget. There is beats ur beats (though I'm weary buying beats headphones because there are too many fakes out there). U can also try jbl T-100A

Some of this reputable stores compromise when it comes to accesories. I once bought an earbud 3k.. at slot..n it was whack. Presently managing samsung .i prefer it to d earbud.
Dis sony looks tempting. How much did u get it n where. M a fan of quality sound.

I bought the Sony for 10k. Real quality sound. The apple earpods I bought were genuine too. Trust me I did my research before buying them, I checked everything from the unibody to the cables, the inscription was written on the cable, the packaging, user manual and apple stickers all were intact. I even scanned the barcode and it was the real thing. The sound was OK, but I hate it when these things fall off my ears. Na vex I just vex go buy the Sony and I never regret.

dulux07:
Original apple earbud. good sound quality and durability. Though its very scarce, too much fake.

This one is available at slot for N3,500, genuine one. I bought it and confirmed its genuine, but I gave it away after 3 days because the damn thing won't just stay in my ears, keep falling off. Got myself a Sony sbh20, quite pricey but worth it. Mad bass on this bad boy.

VickyRotex:
Abeg, this doesnt prove to me that he's a scammer.

If everyone that wants to earn his trust request for 20MB, how many MB go remain for am to sell if he was real?

It is true this doesn't prove he's a scammer. But have u heard of infocenter? The guy with the highest number of monikers on Nairaland. 2 monikers everyday, over 600 Nairaland monikers a year, posting the same thing and all his monikers start with info followed by some numbers. He claims he sells 5gb for 1,200 and 10gb for 2,000. Tell me how is he not a scammer. That is the same guy the op has been chatting with, his number is 0 8 1 6 3 1 5 1 6 5 1 . done worry, keep an eye on this section u will still see his post and verify the phone number.

BedLam:
from their website , it's actually unlimited from 1am to about 6am. The 10gig extra runs from now until May or so. The catch is actually the unlimited while the 10 gig is a promo. Overall it's a good one if you ask me.

Even better. I see no reason why people are complaining. They only reviewed their plans and not actually increased it. While it might not really favor the knight plans, it is excellent for the heavy users. I called them today and they said the 20gb plan is now 10k with 10gb bonus making 30gb. On top of that there is free browsing for those downloads between 1am-7am. I mean what else do people want. I wanna see any other isp in Nigeria that is even one to being as cheap as this.

Nna op, must u call on NCC over everything. Is it by force to use spectranet? There are other isp's so if u are not satisfied change ur network. Moreover even with the increase in tarrif it is still cheaper than competition. Swift also charge 10k for 20gb, but spectranet still gives 10gb free for night surfing so I don't see what u are complaining about. Oya if u still no satisfy go on strike as that is what is trending in the country now. U think say this na petrol? Na so dem shout when dstv increase tarrif as if dstv is the only pay TV in the country. Why government no provide these amenities for her citizens in the first place. Oh I forgot, even the basic amenities like petrol and electric dem never fit provide na Internet dem go come give u.

lukmoore:
the camera is not bad but compared to iphone 6 Like comparing neymar to messi. Lolz

More like comparing Diego Costa with messi.

shaddi:
I was so full of hope waiting for the tecno c8, it was so hyped that I can even see it in my dreams using the best camera phone in the world that is far better than the Samsung Galaxy s6 camera, it was finally released after 3 weeks of waiting and I got it at callus Miller in portharcourt, I got home inboxed it and when I tested the camera it was just a floop, the screen pixels are very low that you can see boxes in the screen, so tell me how can you get the best out of the camera .... The battery is even worst cos you can't get upto 8hours battery juice.....

NB: Am not a very good writer and This is not a hate thread... Am just expressing what I feel about the phone.... THANK YOU

Whatever makes u think a 30k phone can have a better camera than a galaxy s6. The s6 is currently one of the phones with the best camera.

dumo1:
Exactly! You got it right my friend.

I don't think it is the screen resolution. Galaxy s6 has a she screen which is higher than s5 and it also has a smaller battery but the phone performs wonderfully well. I think the problem is from the software. See the way android is designed, apps run in the background so they can open faster when u need them. It is a good thing but can also be a bad thing. Sometimes some apps just run in the background and drain ur battery. This is why there are many app killers in the play store. Do these app killers really work? I don't think so because the moment u kill an app, the app will restart itself after a few seconds.

Sometimes u need to search the apps one by one to see the one killing ur battery, this can be tedious.

Drop your WhatsApp contact... got some things i want to ask you? (you can modify when I've seen it to avoid spammers getting your info)

Chimdiebere:
you're a complete asshole for saying that ! as your name implies "Foul nyash" you're truly a foul nyash! shame on you! of all names in this world, even Greenhulk is better than you. and pls am talking from my side of experience which am used to Android and not your iOS or whatever thingy you use

This is uncalled for.

Booyakasha:
Greenhulk, WhatsApp?

Good

TruthMustBeTold:
I think the high res display of that phone is too much to bear for a battery of dat capacity

Galaxy s6 has much higher resolution and yet smaller battery than s5.

Chimdiebere:
and one more thing I just discovered which you can't argue the fact that Android is over iOS , Is the ability to do "screen recording". What's screen recording? this is when you can make a video tutorial using your phone without any external camera and Root permission is required to do screen recording on Android , just like those videos on YouTube where you see a guy using his Android phone for a tutorial and you might be wondering how. but iPhone guys can't do screen recording , highest they'll do is to get an external camera and that's why iOS video tutorials always annoy me! You can say and argue whatever you want but its a proven fact! Hope you're hearing this wherever you are Greenhulk. and lastly Being the master of your own device is only possible on Android because Android is a very faithful servant that doesn't easily " disobey " its master, unlike iOS where by whatever Apple says and you dare go against it , then you're on your own ! Apple is 200% against jailbreak, that's why crooked app developers can't just make an app that require jailbreak to work on your iPhone because Apple will instantly reject it at once! Google warns against rooting, but its not just anyhow Root app that Google accepts on their app store due to Google's restrictions on certain policies. So you see, now tell me who doesn't love open source OS .

You can argue all you want but that's just the bitter truth here am telling you iPhone users ! believe it or not!

U mean something like this?

The matters of rams and cores have long been discussed. Android uses multi cores to perform its operations while iOS need single cores. Regarding ram, why was the iPhone 6s bumped up to 2GB? Isn't 1GB supposed to perform all opertions flawlessly.

If iOS is as smooth as u always claim. How come iOS 8 was plagued with issues all thru it's life?Apple tried fixing it but they never did and they released close to 8 variations but still had iaaues .

With your other handle you make use of s6 while with this you make of note 5.

I use an s6 and LG g3. My wife uses the note 5. U might be surprised I currently don't have an idevice unless u want to count an iPod as one. Anyway I said, its a personal choice. Between 2014 to early 2015 I used an iPhone 5s with my g3. Sold it and bought the s6.

Chimdiebere:
Hmmm, I see your using a Samsung Galaxy S5, just hope it isn't Mediatek

E be like say eyes dey pain u. Does that look like an s5 to u? And do I sound like someone that use mediatek? Do u want to see cpu z result?

Chimdiebere:
one more core fact that might amaze you which you just can't argue with , on Android, its very "easy" to bypass in-app billing thanks to some apps like lucky patcher and some other greater apps that I won't mention their names for security reasons. I've "cheated" a lot of app developers on Android phones and I get upgrades for free, but iPhone (upon the whole jailbreak) can't even run an interactive shell command line like Androids will do. So many app developers prefer iOS than Android in terms of profit, (but there's still piracy on iOS, but a very little bit unlike Android) but the most preferred is Windows phone! even iPhone is a learner to Windows smartphone when it comes to security! that's why Windows OS is indeed the hardest nut to crack for hackers, because I've never heard of any jailbreak on Windows OS . Microsoft doesn't give a shit to whoever that tries to "jailbreak" their Windows smartphone, they'll practically flush out that system and the phone becomes useless! unlike Apple that keep on patching jailbreak anyhow

And this is why Android is better than ios? By sideloading apps? Seriously u should come up with better points. This is why developers don't even bother to put more effort in making Android apps because they know they don't make much profit on Android. And this is why apps run better and faster on an iPhone with dual core and 1gb of RAM than on some Android's with octacore and 3gb of RAM. Another win for apple right there. Keep em coming.

Chimdiebere:
I know what am saying you're not an Android user! even Those using Windows don't argue with others, they just watch! Nigga get your mind right

Lol. Antispambot banned me wtf. Anyway I'm greenhulk. I have countered all ur points and all u could say is that I'm not an Android user? Dude I use both ios and Android , I know the good and bad of both OS and I'm telling u ios is more like a finished product while Android is more like a beta os.

Oya see my phone, does this look like an iPhone to u?

Electronzeez:
Help me with this question sir , when did xiaomi and Huawei started making smart phones against when apple started . thank you .

Xioami released their first smartphone in 2011. Huawei however have been making phones since 2009, apple started in 2007. U can see huawei and apple are not too far away. And hey, BlackBerry, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc have been making phones before apple cane out with the iPhone and the iPhone 3gs outsold every other phone in 2008 when it came out.

Electronzeez:
Funny guy , most of your points are valid . I was expecting you to trail the line of telecommunication where you can also pass your theory of apple coming to set the standard for companies like Huawei , Ericsson .....

I will stress this , the only thing apple is are good at are hand held devices till they prove me wrong .

BTW , I am waiting for an apple refrigerator

Lol Apple doesn't need to be a jack of all trade. At least they are good at what they do.

iamtewwy:
sorry bro..aw much did that anker powerline cable cost you?

Anker power line is N2,000 while anker premium is N1,500 on Konga. Pricey but quality, u will definitely feel the difference.

Found out the problem was from the cable as it got to a stage it stopped fast charging my s6. I ordered for Anker powerline USB cable from Konga and problem solved. Now it charges every phone without any problem.

Nsonaso:
Well individual differences... I run Android 5.1 on Infinix Hot Note and 5.0.2 on HTC One M7 but I've never seen anything enticing on Google keyword.... Sony Xperia Keyword is even better (personal preference)

Personal preference I guess. I run Google keyboard on my HTC one m7, lg g3 and galaxy s6. I've tried every other keyboard but I still come back to Google keyboard.

GRACEGLORY:
Note: First step to identifying a serious buyer?
"A serious buyer, will place a call, not message."

Guy state the price. Some serious buyers need to see price before calling. This is not an exclusive product, it is not a Rolex or a diamond chain where prices are not mentioned online. U are selling a TV of probably 100-120k, people sell products worth 1 million and they put their price there for people to see.

Goahead:
Absolutely, I can't do without SwiftKey!

I use to think like that too in the past until i started using Google keyboard then I realized I been wasting my time with swiftkey

joey150:
Google keyboards does the job just fine..i was totally dissapointed in the keyboard after trying it out. I guess it has to have some form of customization drawing people to it.. But its not for me at all.

Yes customization and autocorrection are great. But they miss the most important thing in a keyboard which is the ability to run smoothly without lag. I almost broke my phone while typing with swiftkey especially when trying on a blog. I think people that enjoy it are used to lags on their phones, for me I have zero lag on my phone so I will not let one stupid keyboard change that.
