what's this with google releasing a version of the s4 running on the pure stuff. thought that was what the nexus line was for

Nuel01: I hv abt 50-55k 2 buy a tablet. I hv samsung galaxy tab 2 7inches wit(android 4.0 ice cream sandwich) wic is upgradable to jelly bean 4.1 is my choice, though i love d nexus 7 bt it has no back camera n d memory can nt b expanded n ipad 2 has no adobe flash player n wld nt accept certain apps. Wic tablet wld u guys prefer i go for? Tanx. Add me on 2go wit otas01. I want 2 buy it by friday.

a nexus 10

4llerbuntu: NB:
At the time this became an alternative path for them was about 2-3yrs ago. between that time and now, They have not sold as much as HTC have to put it in perspective. it probably didn’t sound a compelling argument then, but lets face it, the writing was on the wall. they refused to acknowledge it.

Its not restricted to the company though, even the fanboys could not see beyond their noses. as at 6 months ago, they were still engaging in flame wars on NL arguing that a Bold 3 was better than a SGS 2. funny how Techno has magically made all those arguments disappear.


I wonder when they will realise they should make their email service a PAID service accessible outside BB devices for companies and individuals. Quite a lot of people will pay for BB quality email support for now.
in the next 1 yr, it probably will not be relevant again.


and now BBM is accessible elsewhere, i fully expect them to shut down device production in 2 yrs. They should sha allow us build a BBM App for Ubuntu Touch!


MAKE DEM DO QUICK RELEASE AM, E BEEN GET SOME SMALLIES I DEY TARGET, NA ONLY THE CURVE 2 DEM MAMA BUY DEM DEM GET, AND THEY TOO MUMU TO INSTALL WHATSAPP!!



BTW thats my next big prediction. bookmark it. In the next 2 years alternatives like Ubuntu Touch, sailfish (especially Ubuntu Touch) will cannibalize Android and totally kill stuff like BB's

especially because the corporate world will rather prefer to take the Ubuntu Touch Source and dev up a hardened closed version for their mobile devices

well said. but 2 years though.3 - 4 perhaps

[quote author=F.K.O]U GUYS R VERY RUDE..HE ASKED FOR ADVICE...SINCE DONT HAVE ANY TO OFFER HIM,THEN Y COMMENT?

@flash77 I WONT ADVICE U TO BUY A PHONE HAS BAD OR NO REVIEWS[/quote]RUDE? i don't get

joeydozzy: ^^^ ask the people that bought it na or is it puskin that will know the disadvantages?

Btw, why's everyone going gaga over this bbm going multi platform?

perhaps it's something they've coveted secretly for long now

genesisjohn: Pls I want to subscirbe 4 unlimited and I want to know wic is better btw MTN and airtel in ABJ

you should note that airtel isn't unlimited

The bandwidth

how come i never get any of these

puskin: erm....sorry to burst your bubble, but I have a strong feeling that you might have missed your way.

Wiko.......anyone??

Never heard

used 12GB since renewing on the 2nd of may. no 2h stuff. just unlimited.

me thinks it's back to unlimited ways

it is 1000

@Puskin and Honsule: i love the new rules in the new post page

one more thing though. people should be discouraged from creating new threads for trivialities.
imagine someone creating a thread just to ask for phone settings ,

Great job done here though

he's a mor0n. microsoft is just plain EVIL

and just like vista, W8 is a fail

4llerbuntu: of course.

not as to using the hardware but as to if the game will even run or run properly.

wine is a hit or miss thing.

u may try. but don't raise your hopes.

but I'm quite sure running under wine uses the hardware fully.

just saw they have a list of tested games on their site. no new titles there though.

perrol: please people help me out. i was trying to form a pattern in other to lock my screen. i successfully did it , but fortunately i couldn't remember the pattern i used anymore . and i have tried d pattern many ways but the phone refuse to open. now my phone TECNO D5 is lock now asking me to input my google mail and password.. i have input my google mail that i have but still my phone as not open ... please help me God bless you..

Not again

factory reset perhaps.

i heard there's this app that does that too. srsroot. haven't used it myself

texazzpete: It's everywhere by now, I guess. I got mine from a retailer in PHC for 105k.

Affordables and Slot have got it now.

Crazy thing is, Affordables sells the Galaxy S4 for 105k, but their solitary HTC One is on sale for 129k. I expect that price to be slashed sharply

Poor Sony...nobody wants to buy the Xperia Z anymore.

and more expensive at that

4llerbuntu: it should.

preferably a 64bit os, and 64 bit virtualbox install

check the video memory slider in the VM settings. it should show how much VGA memory muscle u can give the VM OS

also under system enable IO APIC and use the multiple processors

as far as i know on well specced systems, you wont even know that the OS is running in a VM.


saw someone running Snow Leopard once, full screen seamless mode. it was flawless

muyiscoi: As for the gaming stuff, i'm not so sure it will work that way. I know most newer laptops support hardware virtualisation but I dont know if that translates to the GPUs also. On Virtualbox, you can enable 3D graphics acceleration for the guest OS but the memory is restricted to a max of 128mb. That wouldnt really work well for high graphics games.

would there be any compromises if i were to use WINE?

[quote author=₱®ÌИСΞ]GPRS should never appear at all [/quote]

[quote author=₱®ÌИСΞ]dude ur worries are over, install a cpu tuner i use SetCPU, then create different profiles like

IF screen IS off: reduce processor speed to 200MHz or Set cpu state to powersave
IF battery-temperature >= 55 degrees: reduce processor speed to 200MHz, Turn off Radio
etcetera...thank me later [/quote]haven't activated my wallet

4llerbuntu: Bros, a Good Note Battery does screen on time of 5 hrs or more.

The screen is a very bright LARGE 5.3 Amoled. it cannot have the same battery life as a 3.7 inch screen.

without Screen On, it does a full 24 hrs Plus with no problem.


Your usage pattern is worth looking at. do not expect to stare at the screen playing games for 10 hrs.





That said. Flash a Custom Kernel. this kernel download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1929520&d=1367482953 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252977


Then turn down your screen brightness.



if your phone still drains battery even when the screen is off, there is one or two apps on it which is the cause. find out which one and uninstall.

(install CPU SPY) and let your phone be for a while, maybe like overnight and check the stats. you should have Deep Sleep close to 85% or more. if its not deep sleeping when idle, you have some rogue apps



and just in case u think this is limited to your Note, you are very wrong. it applies to every decent phone u can buy out there. thats why pple ask OEMs to increase battery capacity. Smart Phones are not there yet in battery life.





if the above is ok and your battery still does not last, buy a new battery. Phone batteries die too

My note2's battery lasts 12 hours longer with airtel than mtn. Crazy network over here I tell ya. Even on standby with screen turned off, it happens. Heats up and loses 50% in less than 4 hours. Today has been good sha.

[quote author=D.A.V.E]sometimes or rather most times, any suggestions for me?[/quote]first point of call. Might be your network.

Say I have a pc with a good graphics card for gaming and I have ubuntu installed. If I were to run windows in a vm, will it retain the host system's graphics performance?

If the rumours are true, then the 3rd note will indeed be a beast

There's another problem besides those. Our telecomms are crap. Poor service drains battery faster.

Do you guys bother to search the forum before creating threads?

Mueeze: Yes. I made a live cd, and it just won't boot from cd. It skips it entirely and starts windows. Btw, the cd drive is working perfectly.

is it windows 8?

[quote author=D.A.V.E]abeg i get challenge with my note1 battery,the battery doesn't last at all,i charged it this evening for 3hours.it only got to 48percent,and this can barely last at most 1hour,is this the same thing other users are experiencing or is it just me,cos i am not enjoying the phone at all..
and i dont want to buy a new battery just yet,. in short my question is how is the battery life of this phone if you are using one so i know if buying a new battery Solves my problem[/quote]does it heat up?

honsule: I thought they say the gorilla glass is scratch proof,hardly crack,etc.How come yours got broken?

the S3 seems to have a weakness. the top right corner, that's where every crack begins. saw it in a few drop tests back then

puskin: Modding is not by automation.....but those spamming the forum with those ads are doing it by automation.
No be everything Mr. Anti-spambot dey catch.

seems it worked better when it was pyguru

vicshownero: dts wat mtn will say now..and you use 2h stuff to convert it to unlimited

still waiting for them to cut me off. subscribed today
