Try to top up ur subscription wen u notice its almost expire so as to accumulate d data together....
BTW all networks does DAT

How do u top up an expiring data? No be dash u want dash them money? U can nor carry over unused data, so toping up is like wasting money because u won't finish it before it expires.

GarbaAudu:
@ Abatically. When you asked the OP if his vehicle's climate control is on the blue end or red end, he responds by claiming that his car has no such (climate) control. Do you beleive that Toyota Avensis has no climate control? 2007 model for that matter? A food for thought.

Of course every car with ac has climate control. I believe he said the display on his ac display screen is showing LO which is the lowest temperature (2007 avensis has 2 screens, one for media and the other for ac). He might just have a blown fuse. Anyway we are all just truing to help and no idea is wasted. Peace.

Who d fvck told you that the iPad air is more stable than note 10.1

Everybody knows the iPad is a better tablet than any android tablet out there in terms of user experience, ease of use and smoothness. But in terms of functionality the note 10.1 wins and in terms of ability to do real work, give it to the surface pro 3.

you have said it all the only apps that needs background runnings are Messengers ,Mail box and weather and i dont think all those consume much battery

its all comes down to OS optimization....A window phone with 1900amh batter can have a music playback of over 30hrs .....i think while android OS is trying to work on it OS consumption tthe likes of IOS abd WP has got that right

True. I love android, but I know it is not perfect. Some people just use real multitasking as excuse when it is obvious there is really no such thing as real multitasking on a mobile phone, instead in trying to do so it is having a great effect on battery life and general user experience with no result.

obosirow:
Android does true multitasking of apps, just like windows OS on PC.. multiple apps running and updating simultaneously on the background. App optimization is also a key factor and Samsung has decided to do same by drilling down the presence of their own skinning (Touch wiz) of the Stock android. Additionally, Samsung is using the latest in mobile ram architecture - DDR4 as well as fastest flash storage in the industry. All these result in improved overall speed and performance.

Apple iOS does not do true multitasking. The app on the foreground is usually the only app using the processor as well as battery and as such makes the device appear to run smoother and battery last longer. Most apps indicated as running on the background are usually running in an 'hibernated' state. You click them and they resume from the last time you ran them.

It doesn't matter how each platform gets it job done, what matters is getting the job done. On a mobile phone, u can't use 2 apps together, one has to be in the background while u run one. Apple apps pause while u switch, and then resumes when u go back to the apps. For me i see nothing wrong with that as it gets the job done and efficient, uses less power and reduces lag. And I don't get what u mean by apps updating in the background. Do u wanna tell me when I'm updating my ios software I can't do other things? Of course i can do other things. I can be watching a movie while my facebook and other apps update, so I don't see any shortcomings here.

Android on the other hand has apps running in the background constantly, but it is never like PC. Are u telling me if I'm playing a game and i get a message, are u telling me the game will start playing in the background while I do other things? The answer is NO. The game will pause and when i go back it continues, this is the same thing it does on IOS so I don't see any sense in these background apps that keep sucking battery on android, it doesn't make sense and I think the OS is not just perfect yet.

Unless u can tell me the MAIN ADVANTAGE of apps running in the background which IOS isn't capable of doing, then I think its a fallacy saying Android is better just because they have apps running in background. This is just like someone going to write an exam, what he really needs is just a pen and paper, but he goes with 10 packs of pen and a whole box of papers... something that is not needed.

Another fake news. Nairaland is becoming a hub for fake news, thanks to those desperate bloggers that went their website to be a hit, but must u write fake news? Fake pictures?

See where this picture was taken from.

GarbaAudu:
My guy, there is nothing wrong with your AC. You have simply switched on your car heater! Either you or someone else have mistakenly turned on (clockwise) the climate control to the red curve line. Simply turn back the control knob (clockwise) to the blue end, and you are good to go!

u sound like u are so sure

Qualcomm has been messing up since 801. That's why sammy ditched 810 for their in house chipset which is a brilliant move. Yes, 801 is outdated. All OS versions are power hungry, iOS8 is too and it's even more unstable than Lollipop. Which devices are you talking about?

Why do you think note 4(exynos) with less battery capacity than nexus 6 and even with Touchwiz lasts longer? Sony is one of the oems that's poor in calibration and optimisation. Sony sensor is usually been used for camera get they produce worst images. Review HTC m8 battery, it last for a day on Kk. Lollipop improved it magnificently.

You are the one that said lollipop is less power hungry, so why then are phones running kitkat with less capacity battery having longer battery life than a nexus 6 with pure android lollipop and mammoth battery? This means lollipop is not as perfect as Google makes us think. Go check nexus 6 reviews, the OS even though is pure android 5.0 is not as smooth as HTC one m7 or m8 running customized KitKat, and battery life is not better than m8 or galaxy note 4 with smaller batteries.

I'm not saying ios8 is more stable, the point I'm trying to make is that more RAM doesn't always mean better performance, iOS devices don't need more ram to perform better so why would apple waste money to add more RAM? The software is well optimized than android. I'm an android fan but I've used iPhones and I know what I'm saying. I still prefer androids to iphones though, but I can't be biased.

Flashfash:
A8 and other Apple processors are really catered for single task duties using single core proccessors. Look at the benchmarks. That is the area they excel at. And since iOS an app drawer and lacks real multi-tasking like Android, of course it can appear smoother. Apple processors are always behind in multi core

U still haven't explained what true multitasking is on a mobile phone. If I can't multi task like I can on a laptop, then I don't see any use. Benchmarks are nothing, what matters is real life use.

Now explain to me what u mean by multitasking. IPhone have app switcher which is the only multitasking required on a mobile phone. If u open a webpage and switch back to cskender, music and any other app, then next day come back to the webpage u opened, it will be there without reloading the page. If I'm playing a game and I receive a phone call or send a text message, then go back to the game, the game would pause and continue from where I stopped. Is that not multitasking? Show me a better way that android does it.

Flashfash:
Iphone don't trully multi task. So having a ram with more ram in order to aide multi task isn't needed.

Pls explain to me the multitasking u are talking about, can u break it down.

Flashfash:
The z3 came with older chipset which is power hungry and not android perse. Kitkat isn't really power hungry, lollipop is more power efficient. IPhone 6 is with a better chipset and newer OS version.

You call snapdragon 801 an older chipset? The successor is snapdragon 805 and 810 is just being used on 2015 phones. Snapdragon 801 is even thought to be better than 805. And don't be deceived, lollipop is also power hungry, I run lollipop on my 2 phones. If Lollipop is more power efficient then why does the Nexus 6 have an average battery life even with its gigantic 3220 mAh battery. And mind u it runs undiluted stock lollipop, so it should be having a great battery life, but hell no, Galaxy note 4, xperia z3 and z2, all have better battery life even with customized version of kitkat.

I doubt if uv ever seen a much more used Sony's flagship device......[/color]

I guess u didn't get what I wrote. U should read again. What I meant is while browsing web pages alone at full charge, if the iPhone lasts 10hrs 30 mins, xperia z3 will last approximately 11hrs 15 mins. Which is not a great difference comparing how huge the xperia battery is.

Now to further prove to u that bigger battery doesn't always mean better performance, let's compare the iPhone 6 with LG g3. The g3 has 3,000 mah battery vs iPhone 6 1,810 mah battery. The G3 has twice the talk than the iphone, but when it comes to web browsing, lg g3 will only last 6 and half hours while iPhone 6 will last 10and half hours. Also for media playback, lg g3 will last just 8 and half hours while the iPhone 6 will last 9 and half hours. This shows the iPhone has better screen on time even with its smaller battery.

So again, software optimization is more important than adding more RAM, or bigger battery or more megapixels which is where apple shines.

fortech91:
Before you compare iPhone with an Android smartphone, you must first determine which of the latest devices coming from MWC is the flagship Android smartphone (am looking @ u HTC One M9)
Check: Galaxy S9 vs One M9 vs Xperia M4
http://www.androidgist.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-sony-xperia-m4

Which come come be flagship android phone? Android is not iOS, android has different flagships while apple has one per year. If u must name an android flagship then it'd got to be the nexus 6 which IMO is great but nothing special.

Samsung's flagship is galaxy s6
Sony is xperia z4
HTC is HTC one m9
Lg is lg g4

The time I checked, the phones with best battery life are droids. Sony z3 kills iPhone 6 battery despite been released earlier.

We are still saying the same thing. Androids are power hungry because of useless background apps and that is why they need BIGGER BATTERIES to power them.

Sony xperia z3 has 3,100mah battery while iPhone 6 has 1,810mah battery. On paper that is no match, but in reality, while the Sony has better talktime, the difference is not so much in web browsing and media playback. In fact when browsing the web at full charge, the xperia will not last more than 45 minutes than iPhone 5. So the difference in real life usage is not so much, but the difference in battery size is so so much. This shows iPhone software are better optimized to use small resources to give better outputs.

ollah1:
In order words. More RAM is useless and a gimmick right? Barman give this guy a chilled zobo

I didn't say that. What I said is more ram are useless when not needed which is the case with iPhone. An iPhone with 1gb of ram will run every app as fast ( if mot faster ) as a galaxy note 4 with 3gb of ram. So apple have no reason to add more rams since it is not needed. They will add it when it becomes needed. So it all depends on software optimization. Same way some 8mp shooters take better pictures than some 16 megapixel phones.

Godvilla:
[color=olive]Seems u know nothing about RAM too, the bigger the RAM the better multitasking u get. RAM is far more dan stability, RAM entails more on speed.
512MB RAM is good for iphone or windows cus they are not heavily customised by their OEMs. hardware specs has nothing to do with lag issue on a device, it all boils dwn 2 the software customization by the OEM.
If u truelly wanna know the power of RAM especially 3GB RAM, try handle a NEXUS device dat is pure Android with no extra customization.
Same in pc world, i'd die for a system with 16/32GB RAM dan a 4/8GB RAM[/color]

Nexus 6, though a good phone is not the smoothest android phone even with lollipop on board. Do ur research, HTC one m7 and m8 are smoother than nexus 6 even with 2gb of ram. It all boils down to software optimization.

And u can't compare a computer's ram with phones. If someone can manufacture a system with 2gb of ram that will do the same task flawlessly like the one with 32gb of ram, then there wouldn't be the need for adding more RAMs as it would be a waste of resources.

Godvilla:
[color=olive]Do u know how many background apps and services run on an Android device?
Optimization and software customization is the main factor to consider b/w ios and Android[/color]

It doesn't matter the number of background apps running. Why don't u tell me the importance of the running background apps and tell me iOS can't match up. This is why an android phone with 3,000mah battery will run out of battery faster than an iOS device with 2,500mah battery.

How much is the S6?

Even guys at CNET, techcrunch and Engadget don't know yet.

kallmemrB:
bro try any high end windows phone then the likes of lg,samsung will look like craps

Lol, I used lumia 920 for almost a year, even upgraded to wp8.1. Nothing special about windows phone, I got bored by how badly apps are built, I sold it after I got my lg g3.

A lot of things are wrong with windows phone. The video player can't play all files and no way to add subtitle .srt files. The app arrangement sucks, lack of google apps, quick toggles limited to 5 (it is a pain switching off cellular data as u need to tap many buttons to get there ), etc. Apps are far better on android than windows. I still love the lumia 920 though because of its camera and fluid OS, but no match for any of my androids.

ollah1:
How many times will you be told that low ram on iphones is cos it doesn't trully multi task. The version will bring true multi tasking and the ram would surely be increased to at least 2GB.

Regarding the camera, more megapixel doesn't denote more pictures but Note 4 camera blows off iPhone 6 camera. Note 4 is even faster than iPhone 6 despite been on Kitkat. Let Lollipop hit it with the new Touchwiz then you would how beastly note 4 would turn out.

Back to the topic : @op how does the S6 look like the iPhone 6?

Can u explain multitasking on a mobile phone to me? U surely don't mean split screen and doing 2 things at the same time, how many people use that feature? That feature is not needed on a mobile phone to be honest.

When I'm playing a game on an iPhone, I press the multitasking button and do other things, the game will pause, and will continue from where I stopped when I go back. When browsing a webpage and I decide to go to calendar or music, whenever I go back to the webpage the page is right there without having to reload, to me that is all multitasking that is needed in a mobile phone. So what other multitasking are u talking about? U need to understand that battery must be preserved as mobile phones come with small batteries.

This is coming from a hardcore android fan for years. I've used Samsung Galaxy s2, s3, note 2, note 3. I gave up on Samsung because of their poor hardware and software lagging after a few months of usage. Now I rock HTC one m7 (one of the most beautiful android phone ever made ) and lg g3 which i call the beast.

Baadal:
What the hell are you saying dude.. .. . Pls dont ever compare Note 4 camera to iphone 6 i have used both and Note 4 clearly takes better stunning images

U fail to get my point. My point is that more megapixels doesn't mean better camera. An iPhone 6 with 8mp camera shoots better pictures than a Samsung Galaxy s5 with 13mp. I know they improved the software in note 4.

onadana:
This is certainly not Nigeria.All this bloggers looking for cheap publicity.

Don't mind them. The picture was taken in Zambia, and it is more than a year old, nothing was mentioned about birthday party. The blogger didn't even deem it fit to include the source. Tomorrow now when dem close their blog they will scream BAD BELLE. And Nairaland mods sef keep bringing these fake news to the front page.

Op u can lie o. Cheii why do these bloggers like broadcasting fake news? This is a story from a Zambian newspaper and nothing was said about any birthday party. This lady is not Nigerian, the picture was not taken in Nigeria.

I won't say the s6 wins in terms of RAM. Yes it's got more ram but it all boils down to optimization and user experience. 1 ram on the iPhone is more than capable because the software doesn't require too many rams. I have 3gb of ram on my lg g3 and its not as smooth as iPhone 6. Also we have seen the galaxy note 4 stutter even though it has 3gb of ram. So RAM depends on software optimization so it is not a win for galaxy s6 here.

Also in terms of camera, how many times have we seen that more megapixel doesn't mean better pictures. The iPhone 6 camera beats lots of 20mp camera phones out there. It takes better pictures than galaxy s5 13mp camera and beats the note 4 camera as well. IPhone 6 is top there in mobile phones with best camera even though it is 8mp. More megapixels doesn't mean an automatic win for Samsung, we have to wait and see what it cab actually do. But my point is more megapixels doesn't mean better pictures.

Beauty has nothing to do with complexion. They are both beautiful, complexion or not. If Genevieve was light skinned and nardia dark, u would still say the same thing that had Genevieve been dark would she be as beautiful?

Ooooohhhh....... Just as I thought, you rooted your m7 also. Didn't do mine coz I've bricked quite a few phones already. I just have to be patient for the m7's official lollipop release.

Hmm, bros if I tell u Wetin my eyes see in the process of rooting that phone. It is so complicated unlocking the bootloader. Then I downloaded custom ROM from XDA (the stock version, I don't like aosp Roms). In the process of flashing I mistakingly wiped everything including the original ROM itself. So I was left with a phone without any OS, also wiped the ROM I downloaded (and this phone has no external SD card). Phone was bricked, stuck at HTC logo. I spent about 12 hours browsing Google and watching YouTube videos before I could bring it back to life. But in the end I did it.

[size=15pt]Do you even know what pepper spray is? Thats why it is used as a crowd control measure options in prisons instead of bullets, throws anyone off balance for at least 45 minutes with the criminal unable to even slightly open his eyes...... Now be gone....[/size]

Read this .
Pepper spray my foot. Don't u know an escaped convict is a serious danger to the society. Understand the rules before u talk thrash. There is a clear difference between a RIOT and PRISON BREAK. You can use crowd control measures (tear gas, pepper spray, baton, stun guns, etc ) for riot, but in case of prison break and inmates trying to escape, there is only one choice.... DEADLY WEAPONS, SHOOT TO KILL.

chrisbaba1:
[size=16pt]Why shoot to kill though, how about using stun guns, pepper spray, etc..... Killing them is just extra judicial and murder...... Lawless country..... Look at the fence they are using to imprison people sef.....[/size]

I come on car talk to read and offer assistance to people who genuinely need it. Most times I can't find those posts because utter drivel like this takes up all the space.

It becomes even crazier when a 5 year old can recognize that the car he posted is a range rover, it is silly posting it on car talk . At least he can be a little creative and post questions that are difficult to answer, not something like this
