wp8.1 definitely is good and on par with the other two os barring apps but majority of apps we use here in nigeria is in the store. it all depends on ur needs. if u the type that likes to tinker every now n then, android for u but if you want a semi-walled garden (thin line btw ios n android in terms of functions; customizability options), wp is for you. wp is smooth n secured at budget level onwards and will save u the hassles of rooting that android users go thru. simply put, if you want peace of mind, wp is for you but if you want to be an addict always testing one rom or the other, rooting, looking for free cheats to bypass networks till u run out of ideas, etc. android it is.
p.s. android is a bit more stable at the highend but in the longrun after installing lots of apps n accumulation of app data, it will start slow down a bit but if u a techgeek then u should be able to use it effectively cos most don't really know to use phones n they end up complaining when the solution is right there but otherwise, android is maturing when it comes to stability. Android is best enjoyed on an upper midrange to highend phones. forget techno,injoo,infinix,meizu, etc

Nokialumia720:
i dont think we have any lumia 730 users here bcs i,ve been asking about it still no reply. On your question, i dont think u have anything to worry about concerning the inbuild memory bcs window phone 8.1 which lumia 730 come with allow u to store apps ,games,pics etc on your memory card.

the thing is i really don't like storing apps on sd cards so i wanted to know the actual memory left of the 8gb for use. Also it seems the 735 isn't in Nigeria cos i haven't seen it anywhere and i dislike dual sum phones so 730 is a no no for me. 830 is damn big for my small hands so i guess I'll have to make do with that but economically, 730/735 is a better bargain until microsft releases a proper midrange/highend phone.

got a question for those using the lumia 730, whats the user available memory for the phone?

When u hear great names like maradona, Veron, Batistuta, Crespo, Shevshenko, hansan sas, hakan sukur, Chilavet, raul, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto carlos, owen, beckham, bergkamp, nesta, maldini, inzaghi, cristian vieri, overmas, keane, zidane, pires, henry, harry kewell, robin fowler, okocha, kanu, sunday oliseh victor ikpeba, yekini, amokachi and others, these were men who played to entertain us and with passion as well. They were a beauty to behold on the field of play. U always look forward to every match just to keep ursef entertained. Cr7 & messi are just playing for the money. To be sincere I no longer enjoy football.

with all due respect, cr7 n messi aint playing for the money. if anything, these two have shown hunger to be the best for a long time now n thats what makes em the best of modern football. With the huge sum they both earn yet they still wanna outdo eachother. i think its other players who're money conscious cos no one wants to step up and challenge messi or cr7.

DaGC:
I never said Nigerians are above corrections. I meant that as Nigerians, a few words should be alluded to Nigerians and their language. Nigerians can use them without seeming out of place. The British and Americans both speak english but have words not in each other's dictionaries.

Bootylicious is one word that baffles me in new dictionaries. Weird thing is that for centuries, the word 'booty' wasn't related to someone's buttocks.

i read somewhere the word bootylicious was first coined by snoop in 92 dre track f--k wit dre day. it meant being feeble or weak. beyonce later changed the meaning to being endwowed with...you know that already.

someone pls answer, if I'm hooked up to one of these data share sellers, will it affect my ability to subscribe to this mtn new better me plan? cos so far it's not worked for me.

bongolistik:
It works on all devices, and I repeat, I am currently using it now on all my device. I am on MTN true talk plan before I subscribed, but I don't think it matters on which plan you are

i dialed the code and it still gave me the same reply. i put my SIM on an android phone and yet same response. i don't understand why. I'm on Pulse plan.

mtn says I'm ineligible for the offer. i read somewhere it works only for Android for now. i use a Windows phone, is that why? or can i activate it on an android phone and later switch SIM? some who's done it should pls reply.

well, people think I'm a snub and a mysogynist esp. them ladies. I just know how to put them ladies in a proper way esp. if they come trespassing. you never know she could be learning, earning and at the same time burning her man. i don't take bull, nutting but a g'thang that's me.

kixo:
I used to know her back then in camp( Ogun NYSC camp, Batch A 2013). She was humble and lively, all camp social activities were conducted by her.

Emmydo360:
can any o.e interprete what made ronaldo screamed dat way??

he screamed 'si' yes!. it's cristiano for you. never shy of the cameras.

IanDiamonds:
Actually you can, dial ##3282# to go into the Field Test mode.
Once you're in tap the options bar at the lower end of your digitizer i.e. those three dots that appear at the lower end of your screen. Click Settings once the bar comes up and here you can select under Network Type 2G or 3G or 4G or whatever. Make sure you toggle TNS off. Might require a boot though. Do that and you're good to go.

any side effects? battery drain?

I'll be needing one. My number 08132793245.

Can you post pics please.

Feraz:
Na me you wan use practice eh?



Nice one....i have abandoned it since cos of time

i only practice when I'm chanced tho i set upa reminder so i don't forget.

Elxandre:
Nonsense!
I State that all OS support locking data to 3G only mode and you say i'm hating?
Right now I can see an Edge symbol on my Lumia while my bro's phone has H+.
Did you know WP once had it in Lumia amber, only to remove it in the black update?

keep your brand loyalty to yourself at the detriment of quality and features you deserve!
The Microsoft you're so loyal to support their apps on Android and iOS while Same apps on WP are pale in comparison!

Details for win10 mobile will be out this month and Microsoft has replied to win fans that an update for its apps are in the works. patience, that's it. Microsoft is only being wise cos they know it's and Android got most customers and they will make more from those platforms as well as advertising their products thereby enticing consumers to make the switch. Win10 has to be perfect cos i see it as Microsoft last card to make an impression to IOS and Android faithfuls. I believe Microsoft apps are on par with IOS save for the office app which joe beilfore promised an update.

Alfred234:
Microsoft needs to improve d network of their phones. whenever i put my MTN sim in my Android Tab i always get 3G network but when i put d sim back into my lumia i only get edge network the 3G only comes once in a while and datz very bad.

yea,i second that. you can't set it to 3g only. i hope windows 10 for mobile will correct that. it will be announced on 21st Jan. So lets wait n see what Microsoft got in store for us.

Feraz:
Go to settings -> internet sharing and turn it on.I'll try it. Hope I can learn Japanese too?

yea, duolingo is cool and best of all is that it's free. I'm currently learning Spanish. yo hablo español y mucho gusto pero, suelo olvidar.

Durchmann:
Sorry to say (and please don't be offended) but that was very ignorant of you to make comments without doing proper tests. Cortana is way cooler than Siri and she's improving. The major problem is the African accent we use in asking her stuffs. That's why she doesn't catch some stuffs sometimes but she's super cool. She can sing, give you jokes, predict games and also sound funny when you ask those off-key questions people ask when they want to spend some time. Infact, she is one of the reasons why i still stick to Windows today.

Cortana way more interactive than Siri. you just have to check out the Cortana help page to help you understand how to use her better. I use her to keep tabs on my fav team, scoreline, other match updates and my tech news. Also good at reminders, Cortana knows my bro, sis; i set it up. You just have to have a reliable internet connection and the right accent for her to respond correctly. Also Cortana works offline for tasks that don't require it. Siri has its won strength to but in no way is Cortana a slouch

still available

you got the S4 mini uk used? n how much last?

shebi one day man go die. if we get there, heaven or hell, we go ask baba God or satan (lucifer) wetin happen. Problem be say deady body no dey come back so people wey remain for earth no go know the truth. Seriously, i believe life is a mystery and God is too. He reveals to us what He wants us to know at certain times pertaining to the situation and the issue of the rebellion isn't for man to question but to know the consequence of our action if we end up choosing the wrong path. Man in flesh can't know the spiritual fully in his flesh form and the bible only tells us things we should know that concerns our daily life here on earth. The rest they say is story for the gods.

slingerf:
Pls, how do I backup contact on windows phone and upload it on microsoft outlook

on wp8.1, go to people app(contacts) click on the three small dots to see options. select add an account. there u'll see ur outlook microsoft account u used to sign in to ur phone. touch and hold it for a sec to reveal options: sycn or delete. select sync and easy does it.

Alfred234:
I swear dat tin is very annoying especially when u download a video to d internal memory of the phone u won't see it in ur video player u have to watch it on ucbrowser or export to d SD card to watch it on ur video player, u will even download some videos and dey won't play or it will even say file does not exist after downloading and wasting ur data. sometimes i regret selling my android to buy this Lumia the only thing i like about my lumia is d camera, Xbox music, Xbox video and cortana. Microsoft really needs to work on their phones.

if u use an iPhone i guess you'll be ranting the whole day cos they both similar with WP edging out a little over IOS in terms of flexibility. one thing u should know, IOS n WP will never be like android in the way it works so don't expect the mode of operations to be same for all just cos u coming from the android camp. WPn IOS are designed that way on purpose so as to prevent malware.

orimion:
so, to see any file I d download; I need to use Uc. Also,I have the"files" application and the only system folder it can manage are the documents,pictures, videos & music. I'm not saying windows phone is bad(after all I'm using it) But it's not on the same level with Android and IOS (and Microsoft knows it)

we saying the same thing. wp isn't yet on the level of IOS and android but its getting there. if you gonna blame WP for file managing, then u can as well blame IOS and it's restriction too but does it make ios a weakling compared to android? No. WP strikes the balance btw ios n android. wp10 will be out by next year and its microsoft card to bring it up to par with other oses in terms of app parity esp. with the much touted unification that'll make one app for all in wp n windows. Wp8.1 update 2 will be out by december and should bring more fixes n features to the os. No one is promising paradise yet on WP but for the non tech geeks out there, it should satisfy consumers.

guyANDROID1:
My brother don't mind these peeps here, they taught im novice when it comes to using smartphone.... I have used virtually all OS even the almighty iOS and i can tell you the difference.

They are making people looks like window phone is the classic fone in town now.

For you info, I sell mobile gadget and I can tell you hundreds of areas where window 8 phone is lacking behind.... Now look at the much hype delim update... Noting is changing like what people are anticipating.

Do you the latest trend in town now about window 8 phone.... It is the speakers and headphone issue. You will plug in your headphone and when you remove it. The outside speakers stops working... I search google yesterday and come and see thousands of people having this problem from different device. Well Microsoft claim it is software issue that next update will fix it.

It was yesterday that I discovered the soft solution to it... I almost look like a lier yesterday when I wanted to sell Lumia 1020 to someone and the speaker stop working but thank God I was able to explain to the guy on how to manually do because it is just a software issue and not hardware.

If I'm lying just search google"Nokia Lumia speakers not working after using Headphones" and see comments.

If it comes to Os rating.

iOs no one

Android second

Blackberry 10.1 third

Windows follows.

You can still quote and attack me with your lectures.

no one is trying to make WP look the best but all we saying is WP is kinda like the middle ground btw ios n android; definitely not on par when app issues are concerned. For the problem with the Lumia headphones, that's gotta be a bug or a firmware problem that can be fixed via an update or through workaround. WP 8.1 is an OS update by OS vendor while Lumia cyan, black, denim,etc are firmware update by manufacturer, so they're both different. And pls, don't compare WP to blackberry again. I agree android n ios are big guns but BB? Nah! Even WP has surpassed it in user base. African market is the only thing saving bb from folding up of which the rise n likes of low budget phones from android camp by new players like tecno n co.,are pushing bb figures further down. WP is unique in its own way.

Seller kept to his word and delivered. The shirts are nice

How about a wrist watch -us polo 5211 black. Saw it sometime ago. Still available?

orimion:
abegi, what are you saying ke? Don't ever compare windows with Android ,ever again! A phone that if you download say a PDF file, you don't know where it is. You can only view it with Adobe(or any other PDF reader). You don't know where downloaded files go. I downloaded a zip file with uc browser, with the hope of sending it to the system. Till today, I don't know where it is. I can only check what's inside the zip from the download history of UC. You have to developer unlock the phone before you can install apps not from the store and so on. Windows is better than Android Not even close!

wp8.1 if its what u running, takea care of your complaint about file managing. it lets download n upload via browser any file type suported by the os. There's an app called files: a file manager in the store, download it to be able to manage your files on wp. In uc browser, once u download a content, press n hold the file for an option to appear. You'll see export amongst other options. select it in other to be able to send the file to your phone system. use the file app to be able to view where it is on your phone. mind u, for every app or media file or whatever u download with uc browser n export, it makes a duplicate. so after exporting, its better to delete the original file within the uc browser in other to save memory.

Interested so I'm giving it trial. Hope it comes out good. Quality wise. Been hearing a lot about Aba tailored by my guys who schooled there. This's an avenue to check 'em out
