Source: ArewaTech We all know BlackBerry isn't doing so well these days - the PRIV hasn't sold very well due to its high price point, and the DTEK50 is simply a more expensive, rebadged Alcatel Idol 4 with some BlackBerry software. Though the DTEK60 is also based on an (unreleased) Alcatel/TCL device, it seems like a pretty compelling offering.[size=14pt]WHAT DO YOU THINK? A YAY OR A NAY[/size] Source: ArewaTech |
[size=18pt]Bonus app – miPic (iOS only)[/size] I'm only including this one here for originality, and anyone that happens to have an iOS device lying around as well. I know you’re out there. With another spin on the marketplace and competition formats already seen in this post, miPic still manages to bring something new to the table. Like Snapwire, MiPic puts the emphasis on shining the spotlight on photographers, but it also adds new ways of monetizing images that are uploaded to the platform in a way that could appeal to consumers, rather than brands and agencies mass-acquiring images from these marketplaces. Of course, it allows you to sell the snaps too, but allows customers to print the image directly onto an item (mugs, tees, etc.). You, as the creator of the image, get 20% of each sale that uses your images. But as already mentioned it’s still iOS only for now. |
[size=14pt]Dreamstime [/size] Like many that came before it, Dreamstime provides the now familiar marketplace features you’d expect, but keeps things pleasingly simple. It also provides some good sales feedback and stats via the mobile app and tools (like model release forms) for pros that will be appreciated. There are a range of license options available for your images too, allowing up to $12 earnings per image, depending on which you choose. It might not have the reach of the largest players, but Dreamstime is worth checking out. Download DREAMSTIME [img]http://arewatech.ml/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/dreamstime-w782.png[/img] |
[size=14pt]Markedshot[/size] Markedshot (and the next item, Dreamstime) are more basic approaches on the marketplace, that focus purely on providing you with that space to sell your photos. As with others though, Markedshot’s main money-making potential can only be realised through competitions. Instead of a flat $5 fee through the marketplace (of which you get 50%) for each photo, competitions on Markedshot are client-led projects with specific requirements – they may also require you to live in a specific location to be eligible too, as many are for local project requirements. Obviously the budget for these competitions varies according to client requirements and the number of images, but they tend to be from around $100 upwards. It’s not necessarily a place that will work well for semi-pro or professional photographers, however.

[size=14pt]EyeEm[/size] EyeEm is one of the biggest names in this list, and with that comes positive and negative points. On the plus side, a huge network of members combined with a scheme that highlights the best new photographers can help a few people make a splash, but it also means that there are millions of other users’ photos that prospective buyers can purchase. Unlike some of the other ones here, EyeEm doesn’t focus on just being a photo marketplace. Instead, it’s worked to bring together people who love taking and sharing photos by building filters and other tools into the app, and found a good way to keep them coming back for more while monetizing the service at the same time. You can upload any images you want to sell or license to the marketplace, and keep control over all rights (allowing you to assign different levels to different images, for example) at the same time as giving brands and agencies the opportunity to use them for a fee. Alongside the traditional market setup, there are “exhibitions, awards, magazines and Missions” to help entice users to keep coming back.

[size=14pt]Scoopshot[/size] Scoopshot adds its own twist on the photo marketplace idea by taking the competition elements and making them last only a day each. It also lets you upload and monetize videos too, which isn’t true of some of the others in this list. The result is an app that guarantees a daily ‘Contest’ winner (and therefore renewed daily interest from users), and a marketplace that lets you set your own prices. It also makes it nice and simple for people wanting images to find a ‘Pro’ by location, name or genre, which thereby increases the likelihood of you actually selling an image. All you need to get started as a Pro photographer on the platform is to list your experience and location and provide a portfolio of at least nine images to give people an idea of your work. The amount you earn as a photographer is a little less straightforward than with some other options (a set fee from the marketplace from anyone who downloads your image or a share of advertising revenues if it’s purchased by a network and used on ads) but it offers a lower entry point for users than some of the ‘semi-pro’ platforms, while keeping things interesting with daily activities.

[size=14pt]Snapwire[/size] Snapwire, like the rest of the apps in this list, gives you the opportunity for the amateur or semi-pro snapper to monetize their passion. However, it’s also a little bit different to a general photo marketplace, as the emphasis really is on quality images. That means it might be more attractive for semi-to professional photographers initially, but the app has enough gamified elements to keep it interesting for amateur users too. The ability to earn is either via Challenges or Requests, but before you can respond to the more lucrative brand requests, you’ll have to prove your skills and ‘level-up’ your account. The focus, excuse the pun, here is really on allowing the photographer to have an easily accessible and attractive portfolio of work – from there, buyers can purchase an image directly. In terms of fees, it works out pretty well for photographers too, with you getting to keep 70% of Request and Challenge earnings, and 50% of any items sold through the marketplace or your individual profile. The platform encourages the use of using your phone camera for the images, but doesn’t explicitly rule out other digital images in its terms of use.

Source: ArewaTech There’s more you can do with your phone's camera than take endless selfies, spend all day on Snapchat and take photos of your food. You could be making some real money with these Android apps instead. Amateur photographers and semi-pros alike now have a range of different options to make a little spare cash from their hobby, but not all platforms are the same - and some are downright worth avoiding. I've rounded up 6 of the best Android apps available todayFOAP FOAP is one of the best known platforms for amateur and professional photographers alike, which is both a good and a bad thing. It’s good because it means there’s a huge selection of photographers and snaps to choose from for buyers, which keeps them interested, but it’s bad because it also means there’s an awful lot of competition from anyone wanting to make a little money off the platform. As a standard, each image costs $10, and as the photographer, you get $5 of that. As it’s a larger platform with lots of users, it’s also attracted brands, so there are higher-paying (and more fiercely contested) gigs from established names too. Its most recent update brought a UI makeover, new social features, an improved cashout selection, a model release upload option and a whole lot of other tools aimed at selling your images a little easier. It’s free to download and there are no ongoing membership fees. Download FOAP [img]http://arewatech.ml/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/foap-w782.jpg[/img] |
Southwest Airlines passenger Brian Green had one of those replacement Note7s, but that didn't stop it from catching fire this morning as he waited for his flight from Louisville to Baltimore to leave the gate.According to Green, he got the Note7 from an AT&T store on September 21st, and the box does have the black square to indicate it's a replacement unit with a supposedly good battery. Further, he says it had the green battery icon Samsung is using to indicate post-recall phones. Green says he shut off the device, which had an 80% charge, when asked to do so by the flight crew. The phone began smoking, and Green dropped it on the floor as the plane was evacuated. Green described it as "thick grey-green angry smoke."

ib4real95:I'm Tecno fan tho, but I love devices with good cameras @ a reasonable price |
6 Funny Things About iPhone Users (say) 1. An iPhone is the Best Phone. Apple iPhones are really powerful, but considering them best among all is not fair at all. Our typical users don’t even know detailed specs of their device, so when it comes to iPhones, they are always bragging about the design. There are so many other Android phones which work equally well, so being stubborn about the fact that only iPhones are best, is totally wrong. 2. Android is Outdated. They say Android is outdated and keep using iOS with no auto-rotation or Bluetooth file transfer! Our typical iPhone users think Android phones are useless and are nothing but a piece of crap. They treat Android phones as the old school Nokia phones. 3. When You Ask Them for a Micro USB Charger They Get Annoyed. If someone asks them for a micro USB cable, iPhone users be like, ‘’Hey bro, I have an iPhone’’. 4. Selfie Crazy. All they love doing is to click loads of selfies from their iPhones (making sure the apple symbol shows) and upload it right away on Instagram or Facebook. They think their iPhone has the best camera quality. No matter how bad their selfie will be, they would not forget to put #iPhone hashtag! 5. They Love Boasting About the Features. iPhone users love to list down the few features that are packed inside their phones like the fingerprint scanner. 6. Their Heart Breaks When Their iPhone Breaks. Their whole world is shattered into a million pieces. The pain, the guilt and suffering in this situation looks a whole lot worse than the pain of losing a loved one! #TEAMANDROID |

[size=15pt]Final thoughts[/size] There is no “better” or “worse” option when it comes to clearing the cache and clearing app data. Both processes have their own purpose. Your first step towards fixing a problematic app should be clearing the cache, as this is the least intrusive method for quickly fixing apps. If that fails, or if you wish to free up a larger volume of storage space, then clear the data. Just remember that anything stored or saved in the app, including audio, video, or image files, will also be removed. Has that cleared up your concerns regarding app data and cached data? If not, tell us in the comments. |
[size=14pt]A word on “performance-boosting” apps[/size] There are many apps which claim to “boost device performance” but often this just isn’t true. In many cases these apps merely provide a one-touch button for ending of processes and clearing of the cache, both of which are largely unnecessary on today’s Android platform. You can, and should, do this manually if it is ever required, not habitually. |
[size=14pt]How do I clear app or cached data?[/size] The process differs between device and operating system, but for most Lollipop devices, the steps will look something like this: Navigate to your Settings menu. Scroll to Apps subhead and tap it. Swipe to the All tab. Tap on the app which you wish to remove data for. On the following page, tap either clear cache or clear data, depending on which measure you wish to take. |
[size=14pt]When should they be applied?[/size] There are a few circumstances in which you may wish to clear app or cache data. Firstly, to save storage space. Some apps can store gigabytes of data that you no longer need (podcast apps are often guilty of this). In this case, you may wish to clear their data. The other, and more common, reason is to reset an app to a default state if it has become problematic, buggy or otherwise disruptive. |
[size=14pt]What is clearing app data?[/size] Clearing app data is a more severe (for want of better word) step. While the cache can be cleared with little risk to app settings, preferences and save states, clearing the app data will delete/remove these. Clearing data resets an app to its default state: it makes your app act like when you first downloaded and installed it. For example, say you make changes to the settings of your favorite fitness app. You change the length of exercises and sound settings. Clearing the cache will not affect these saved settings. Clearing stored data, may – and in all likelihood – will. [img]http://arewatech.ml/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ArewaTech-Android-clear-app-cache.png[/img] |
[size=14pt]What is clearing the app cache?[/size] The cache is a temporary storage area of a device which retains certain kinds of data. The aim of this is to speed up how quickly and smoothly your device operates and reduces how much data is processed and consumed. After restarting your phone, have you ever noticed how slow your camera app is to first open, when each subsequent attempt is quicker? The increase in speed after the initial launch of an app is thanks to this cached data. Similarly, you might find that websites load faster on a second visit. Once again, this is because files such as images have been previously stored in the cache. There is often no need to manually manage cached data: Android is very capable of this on its own. However, if an app starts to misbehave or stop working, then you may wish to manually take this step. When you clear an apps cached data, you remove the temporary files placed there, and you’d be surprised how often this acts as an effective solution. Also note, however, that it doesn’t guarantee better performance, and the app may even be temporarily slower the next time it’s used. |
[size=14pt]Source:[/size] http://arewatech.ml/clear-app-cache-clear-app-data-whats-difference/Anybody who has ever encountered an app or software problem on Android may have been given the advice “clear the app cache” or “clear the app data”. These two solutions are often thought of as miracle cures for Android but what is the difference between these seemingly similar operations? Let me explain.
