lilshevy: Pls... Which browser do you think is the best for this phantom a...... ?
they are lots of browsers. Find out the one that suits your style. Personally I don't have a best browser. Opera mini is your best bet if you plan on economizing data usage tho.

Colin Adua: Attention!!! Tecno F7 Fans!!!

Please have patience and manage the 5V, 1A(1000mA), that your phone came with. The charger is a product of thorough research and design. I don't know why some people are having the problem of slow charging with it. My own phantom A+ charges full within 2 hours and few minutes. I suggest you take the charger back to Tecno for replacement or buy another 5V 1A charger and try.

Don't kill your battery by throwing too much current at it in a bid to make it charge faster, it will charge faster but it will shorten the life span of your battery ie if your battery is designed for 300 cycles it might end up with around 150.

After months of studying DIY ardiuno solar/power bank articles at www.instructables.com, in an attempt to build my own solar charger and power bank, please I know what am talking about.

The general rule in dealing with rechargeable batteries is “DON'T THROW MORE THAN 10% OF ITS CURRENT RATING AT IT". Li-ion batteries are very delicate, a single little overcharge they blow. Thats why some high end phones are getting themselves and their environs burnt these days.

Tecno in order to prevent that are giving us chargers with commensurate rating neither extravagant nor too low. From my own personal test with Tecno smartphone chargers I found out that the 1A rating is the maximum at ideal situations. The chargers are actually giving out between 500mA to 850mA, this is not to cheat you but to protect your battery and hence optimise it, in extension your phone.

850mA is even too much for your battery but because of the inbuilt PCM, BCM and Du battery charger software your battery dont feel it. Then throwing 2000mA at a battery of 2100mAh, boy! I don't know what it will result at, but from my research so far, if the phone didn't blow, the battery will soon be dead.

Ever wonder why Du/Dx battery software works in 3 phases fast, full and trickle charge. The aim is to throw higher current at the battery initially to fasten charging while monitoring the battery with PCM(protective circuit module, inbuilt in the phone). When the battery is about to react the PCM automatically reduces it to full charge and continue, when the battery is about to react again it relieves it by completing with tickle charge. Which is the best mode to use to charge it from start to finish. I don't think the PCM built into F7, has 2000mA in mind as a maximum current to encounter in its working life.

Before you call this post rubbish please take out time to read Joshua Zimmerman of browndog gadgets articles on li-ion solar charger at instructables.com.

DON'T LET PEOPLE DECEIVE YOU!!!

Have a great day!!!
Thanks for this nice post brother. I personally bought one of those glorified Samsung note 2A chargers and my phone refused to charge telling me that the power rating was too high. Now i know ppl are actually killing their batteries in the bid to charge faster

lilshevy: yeah i found it there but pls where will i copy it to and how? cos i copy it to the phone folder and all is still the same thing.
I said to copy it to the Gameloft/games folder in your memory card. The instruction is clear enough. If the directory doesn't exist create it! I never said to copy to any phone folder.

Gplayer



I paid 7k and it was the price the told me which I assumed was fixed.
The.hardly give you your phone same day evenfor software problems.
Cos i asked how much to fix it same day they said its not possible, said something bout sending it to lag
well that means they don't have experienced service personnel over there in abuja. I think they receive the phones and bring it down to Lagos for repairs that's why it takes too long. Over here in Lagos it only takes four working days to fix a broken screen

lilshevy: Pls... When i tried to play the pre installed asphalt 6 on my new phantom it says I need a data of 748mb pls do you know any means to avoid this?

lilshevy: Pls when it comes to android am really a notice, i've never used symbian b4 self na only java I dey use since... And I want to maximise the potential of this lovely phantom a+..... Hence, pls don't be bored with ma questions....
1. Can applications be sent from one phantom to another?
2. I tried to send images from my java phone to phantom but my phantom's bluetooth is not detected, and everything is ok.... Pls can't things be sent to android from java?
1. Yes apps can be sent through Xender or Flash share from one phantom to another. 2. Sure! Things can be sent via Bluetooth across mobile platforms. Check your Bluetooth visibility and ensure it is visible to all devices.

mikxling: Hey, Can someone explain where all the 4gb rom is usable. In my phone,
Internal storage is 1gb (where apps are installed)
Phone storage is 1.62gb (internal sd card for music,videos n 'stuff')
The question is where's the other 1.4gb? To make up for 4gb ROM.

Your system takes that. That's where stock apps and every other thing you can't delete are installed. It's called Root and you need root access and a good app with root privileges to be able to sniff around there

it will always create a folder in the data folder once you run the game cus that's where temporary data like replays are saved. In regards to the error make sure that you have a working network connection and for best results turn on your Wi-Fi before running the game and checking for existing purchases

shogz89: pls wts the diff between the three sd cards
Advance is from a new company. not too well known but their cards are good none the less.

SanDisk is a more established card company but beware their cards are pirated more than any other in the business. The class 4 SD HC of the SanDisk card is in the same class as the class 10 of the Advance card. Make sure you buy the original from a recognised shop avoid roadside deals especially if you want a SanDisk card


SanDisk ultra....still a SanDisk card but like the name implies it has ultra fast read and write speeds way much faster than the normal class 4 SD HC card
Phones / Re: As A Tecno, Gionee User Do U In Anyway Enver Your Samsung, Htc And Xperia Users? by Coolstan: 9:33pm On Oct 14, 2013
Godvilla: [b]The only reason i'll opt for the S4 is the snap dragon 600 chipset under the hood.
Both devices are embedded with mediatek GPU.
S4 has some wow features which are already ported 2 some devices, Gionee E3 now possess such features via Canvas 4 Cutom rom, Tecno too is not left out amongst others.
Gionee has DTS surround sound which is a plus 2 all their devices.
All in all, S4 is also an Asian product produced by Korea which 2 my understanding are sum steps behind China in regards 2 Technology. *I stand 2 be corrected*

Samsung is a more established product, so even if they produce another S4 with Imaginations Technology's Mediaket SoC, their prize will still be on the high compared 2 Gionee E6.
In my Opinion, S4 is a superb device BUT i think there's a hype in price as compared 2 sum Well established China based OEMs who produce even more powerful devices than Samsung.
*Brand name aside, Get what u feel suit ur style. Although, i'll choose S4 ova Gionee E6, am not going for S4 because its a Samsung product or made in Heaven.
Am going for it because of its Snap dragon 600 chipset.
