Color pop! All of these, at the click of a button. NO degree in photography required!
I know this app, in fact I used it a lot when I still had my lumia 920. Its a great app, but not as good as advertised. The trick it does is to blurr the image u don't want without really focusing on the primary image. This is no way near what a real camera with a physical lens can do. For point and shoot lumia does a great job, for professional images its not even close.

Just to feel big, most of them do that while driving flashy cars, in addition to that most women try as much as possible to look at the front that is they try looking at the road while driving especially cars with protruding bonnets.
At the bolded, where else is a sane person supposed to look while driving? The side?

Yes it will. However, go achieve an imagine like the one below, u are going to need some photography skills as automatic mode will not blurr the background for u. You will need to adjust the aperture to do that.

grin grin grin grin ANy lolipop update for Tecno N3? grin grin grin grin grin grin
But seriously, this is pissing me off, devices like samsung galaxy music get OS's upgrades while there processing power and RAM is shit compared to Tecno N3. Why don't Tecno release the source code for Tecno N3 so that if they are too lazy to update atleast let us make our own.

OT: Lolipop is shit, sucks, only new thing from 4.4.2 is rainbow colors everywhere, looks like a rainbow vomited on my phone. Not to mention performance, lags like shit. And the development category for apps for it are just plain bullshit, it's now almost ten times harder to create hello world app for lolipop than Kitkat.

Lolipop is Google's version of Microsoft's Windows 8. Shittiest OS, with no benefits over pre-decessor.
Eeya, sorry. I know how it feels to use a phone that u know will never be updated. But no need to rant na, just get a better phone.

I been rocking lollipop on my HTC one for like a week now, been rocking lollipop on my lg g3 for about 2 months and I can tell u it is the best thing to ever happen to Android. With lollipop Android ui is finally on par with iOS, u need to use it to feel it. Some of the advantages of lollipop:

1. lock screen notification
2. Visually pleasing to the eyes.
3. Smart lock: this is a very useful feature. if I pair a Bluetooth or nfc device with my phone, I can make it a trusted device so whever I pair it, my phone automatically unlocks. I use it a lot in my car, whenever I'm in my car, it connects to my stereo Bluetooth and my phone unlocks, this means I don't need to enter password to unlock my phone whenever I'm in my car. Get out of my car my lock screen becomes active again. This is a definite GO.

4. Guest mode: another useful feature. Whenever I want to give my phone to someone, just put it on guest mode and that person will be greeted with another user entirely. He can use any app, play any game but can't access my personal files and photos, can't make calls unless I activate that, can't use data either. This is a good feature for people that just want to play games with ur phones or those that have little kids.

5. Amazing battery life, smooth with no lags.

Below are screenshots of my LG G3.

Car TalkRe: Help Me Choose Between Honda Accord 2005 (DC) And Toyotal Camry 2008 (muscle) by abatically(m): 11:30am On Feb 04, 2015
bravolad:
Reading through your comments & arguments, they don't add up. You have a personal bias for Honda and that always leave your argument rather too narrow. Each brand has its strong points as well as areas of weakness. When considering a car to buy in Nigeria, buyers are more concerned about maintenance in the long run. I have used both Toyota & Honda cars at different times, and therefore, can make certain conclusions. Often times I see you argue with people, I struggle to comprehend your points. Learn to be articulate in your analyses and argument rather than just argue to win. Be guarded by reasons and logic not sentiment.

It's common knowledge that Toyota is much more rugged for long time users in this part of the world the its immediate nearest competitor (Honda). In comparison to their ability to guarantee satisfaction for its users in performance, it's subject to debate based on driving pattern, driver's will to push the gas pedal etc. Whereas I could manage my worn out ball joints, stabiliser linkage, suspensions etc. in my Toyota vehicle, pending when I get money to replace them, you can not do the same with a Honda vehicle. In addition, Toyota commands a better resale value in Nigeria than Honda. This is often the crux of people's preference for Toyota.

In terms of aesthetics, design and performance, both vehicles are essentially the same but the Toyota has an edge over the Honda when durability is considered.

Now, in all honesty, eliminating sentiments and narrow mindedness, it's a sacrilege to compare a 2005 EOD to a 2008 Camry. It makes no sense and could only lead to an absolute blind alley to make such comparison. Both cars are no rivalries and would never be seen as such.

@Op, it's your choice to pick any car of your taste, budget and class. Do not let people decide for you what choice you make. If you like the Honda, by all means, read about it and buy it. But if the Camry tickles your fancy, by the same token, read users reviews and decide. You can't compare a 2005 car to a 2008 one. They are separated by time, distance and space. Good luck in your choice.
To chucky every Honda is better than any Toyota no matter the model, so arguing with him is pointless. I'm also a Honda fan. When comparing from 1999-2006 model the acord triumphs, but comparing a 2007 Honda DC to 2007-2011 camry is just going too far.

They just tend to screw up the least of things that should be screwed.
Bros, no car in this world is perfect. U don't like a perticular brand, choose another. I thought innosson have started making cars, patronize them and stop whining, or get a Bicycle, they don't develop much fault.

Car TalkRe: Why Do Women Drive With The Steering Close To Their Chest by abatically(m): 1:45pm On Feb 03, 2015
Women are generally shorter than men in terms of height. To see the road clearly they need to adjust the seat close to the steering. I've seen some short guys do that too. The irony here is women even though they are short like driving larger vehicles like sienna and suv's.That is why u see them adjusting their seats close to the steering.

Another thing is men are generally more confident drivers than women especially in Nigeria. In advanced countries men and women are almost equal when it comes to driving. But our women are not just confident enough when behind the wheels. This is why u will hardly see a Nigerian woman doing long distance journey say from Lagos to port Harcourt. In fact I hardly see a woman driving along sagamu Benin highway. In the states, women do drive from New York to California (a 4,000km journey and almost 2 days of driving).

I know I don't need cleanmaster. It was automatically downloaded from a back up. I'm probably going to uninstall it because HTC has superb memory management coupled with lollipop its just perfect.

Glo is the best network in Nigeria. Don't just contest it. Every network experience network problem at one time or the other including Glo.
Lol. Well maybe in ur area, but in Lagos and Ogun state, go is very terrible especially their internet. On a good day they have a very fast internet no doubt, but a lot of time data disappears from ur phone and u just can't connect. Sometimes u need to restart ur phone before ur internet is restored, very annoying.

MTN are the most hated network in Nigeria but to be sincere they are still the best when it comes to internet. I know etisalat does well too, but MTN has better data management and right now in Lagos their internet speed is the fastest and most stable. If I subscribe for etisalat 1gb and leave my data on, it goes empty in 2 days. If I do the sane thing with MTN it lasts me more than 1 week.

I wouldn't say it's bad to buy a car worth that price, the reason for selling might be best known, to the seller but please I would advise you take caution, go with your mechanic and please meet in a public and familiar place, and do not pay until you have received all the necessary documents, and please don't forget to request for the VIN Number, so as to check the status of the vehicle in question.
Go with mechanic to see which car? Car wey no dey. Even if op refuse to get scammed, the supposedly seller will end up wasting his time when he asks him to come to badagry for inspection.

@op, it doesn't cost you anything to contact the seller first to find out why he wants to sell it and what's wrong with the car.

Then take an expert, preferably a mechanic that can slip under the car to check any faults and advise you accordingly. Don't forget to test drive the car.


Don't let anyone discourage you here. I have sold stuffs severally on OLX and people have bought from me.
What car? No need to waste credit calling those mofos. What other reason of selling does the seller has other than saying its a custom seized car.

Well,my bros....to be honest with u...fuel consumption shouldn't be ur reason for d said swap....u got d car new,no issue with it...just u hve d normal mentality that V6 consumes higher...well....d dif bw V4 and V6 is nt much in fuel usage...I hve driven one and can testify to dat...well....is ur choice...if u hve d moni to spend, den go for d corolla...but if am in ur shoe, I will invest d moni in another venture....d two cars are good, and are almost in d same bridge . But dnt just swap just becos of mere consumption...what u lose in fuel...u get in strength
Difference in fuel economy between Camry v6 and Camry i4 might not be much, but the difference is there especially in city driving. However there is a HUGE difference in fuel economy between a Camry 3.0 v6 and corolla 1.8 i4 both in city and highway.

@op, if u think ur spending too much on fuel with the Camry, get the corolla, u will notice a huge difference especially since ur always driving in traffic. That is of course if u don't mind the small size and less power.

How does a VPN boost a network? That is a blatant lie. A VPN enables a computer or network-enabled device to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, if for anything it slows down the network depending on the traffic on the network it is connected to. If u have a slow internet, a VPN WILL NOT boost it. It only hides it location making it look like u are in a different location, useful for accessing websites that have been banned from ur geographical location.

Such cameras can't be gotten for anything less than 60,000?
Sister, u can't get a phone that will give u better pictures for 60k not to talk of a professional camera. The nokia 808 would be very scarce to get now but it should be about 70k of u search well, u can even get a used one for less. Another phone that is close to the Nokia 808 is lumina 1020 which is 80k plus. The xperia z3 is about 100k and the camera is not better than lumia 1020, not even close to Nokia 808 pureview.

If u want a dedicated camera that can do the job, look for Nikon D3100 which is not very expensive compared to others. U cab even get a used one for like 60k.
