Mckandre:
Just got myself an xbox 360 console and it has been jailbroken with freestyle dashboard installed. I've only 3 game titles installed on the 40gb hard drive and the thing done full up, I wish to expand the storage with an external HD but I'm finding it difficult to get my xbox to detect it, I've formatted it to fat32 still nothing. Pls guys m lost here and totally new in the xbox community, I need to ve my console running games right from the exHD in no time.

What's the size of the external hdd & what tool did you use to format the drive, also is it the hdd that's not being detected or is it the games you put on the external?

Hope you change those values back to the original?, otherwise it will enter engineering mode in due course and only mKey dongle can fix that.

I don't understand, change which values?

Manually create a new APN using the following, APN Name: Spectranet NG, APN:spectranet, Username: test1@spectranet.com.ng, Password: test1 or alternatively you can leave username and password blank, it still works okay.

It's not the APN that was the problem, for some reason the router was not seeing spectranet's frequency. When I did a manual search for available networks I could only see other service providers. Anyway, I did a firmware upgrade using a universal firmware and that solved the problem.

I unlocked my Spectranet b310s-927 but noticed I no longer get signal when I insert the spectranet SIM. Other networks (such as Ntel) which I've tested work fine. The spectranet SIM was working prior to unlocking, so any suggestions please?

Scam of the century. Funny tho you can still watch Netflix and Iroko on it.

Ntel redeemed themselves a little today. Got a voucher for the 2 day data bundle as compensation for the network issues. Speed is good so far, streamed the entire Barcelona vs Juventus Match without much issues and just finished downloading the Windows 10 creators update (started the download after the football match). Seems like torrent downloads are throttled though.

once you pass 3gb, you get 60kb/s connection

I bought their SIM and decided to test first by subscribing for the 2 day plan (best decision I have made in a while

). I was throttled to 60kb/s from the moment I started browsing, speed only increased slightly at midnight and I could not even browse some minutes after 12am. The next day I could only open Google related webpages and that's how it remained until the sub expired.....thrown away the SIM already.

@Initialize, I'm interested in getting the Redmi 3s but would have preferred the dark grey one (I'm not a fan of gold colored phones). Any chance you'd have that color in stock soon?

launched! announcement later

What does that mean? A product launch means availabilty of the product in the market.

First it was the useless pre-order button on jumia which only subcribes you to the Jumia e-mail newsletter (Infinix/Jumia should please find out the meaning of Pre-order before doing this kind of rubbish again), now it's 24hrs after the supposed product launch yet there's no information even on their website or social media channels about pricing and/or availability. Does infinix know what a product launch means? After teasing all these days and even doing a countdown, yet nothing.

I've held off buying a new phone all this while but I've gotten fed up waiting. First thing this morning, I'm getting me something else!

The story doesn't add up, Kidnappings are almost always targeted (who would risk kidnapping a driver?). Also no one else has corroborated the story, the pictures might as well be that of random cars (and not even flashy cars for someone to even think they might have kidnapped based on the vehicles)

Sorry to disappoint you, there's no big power brick this time because it's internal i.e. you only have a cable from mains to the console.

Business › Plenty Atm's, Most Not Dispensing Cash by droopyd(op): 6:52pm On Apr 25, 2016

Can someone (probably a banker) explain to me why banks deploy more than one ATM at a location but you find only 1 dispensing cash. This always baffles me as I don't understand how difficult it is to monitor the ATM's and refill them when they are out of cash (especially the ones in Bank premises).

Politics › Pdp's "Rapid Fire" Accusations Are Laughable by droopyd(op): 4:10pm On Jul 30, 2015

I find PDP's constant rapid fire accusations quite funny. It is universally acknowledged by the entire Universe that the previous Government was largely corrupt. Arguably, 70% of that government was made up of PDP members. So even if President Buhari appoints card carrying PDP members as DG SSS and EFCC chairman, if they go after corrupt Government officials in a bid to prosecute them and recoup stolen money, they'll end up arresting mostly PDP members and the party would still say that they are being victimized.

They can cry wolf all they want but Nigerian's should encourage the present administration to go after corrupt government officials (irrespective of party affiliations), confiscate stolen wealth and prosecute them to serve as deterrent.

barcanista:
The DSS is part of the Civil Service like other Security Agencies. No member of the service are supposed to be linked with any political party. The loyalty of the DSS boss is to the Nation first because he has constitutional mandate. The position of DSS is not like the NSA or Ministers. It is a shame that Buhari is bent on soiling the reputation of the service in the name of partisanship.

Oga, I hope you know that the DGSS is not an employee of the civil service, serving employees of the DSS are. Contrary to what people say, he was not called backed from retirement to head the SSS, his retirement still stands. The only difference is that he has been appointed as the DG of the organization, of which anyone from any discipline can be appointed, not necessarily a serving or former SSS officer (Obasanjo appointed a retired military man during his tenure). After retirement, he was free to associate with any individual or group. After his appointment, his allegiance is now to the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a whole. I'm yet to see any evidence otherwise.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Startimes Slashes Bouquet Prices by droopyd: 5:29pm On Apr 17, 2015

Op, your post is highly misleading, Startimes have in fact increased their subscription rates. This is from their website:

By May 1, we will launch new interesting channels and will update the existing bouquets with these channels. They are AMC Series, Iroko Play, Iroko Plus and ST Zone. AMC movies and Wap TV will then move to Basic bouquet; Classic bouquet will have Iroko Play and AMC series, Iroko Plus will also be introduced into Unique bouquet while other new channels will be available on all bouquets. While, the new bouquet price will be N1200 for Basic, N2400 for Classic and N3600 for Unique bouquet, which will be effective from April 18

The Subscription that was reduced is that of Starsat (I'm guessing due to low patronage):

We would also like to introduce Startimes satellite TV to you, which has 100+ channels with HD decoder and more local contents. We also have a Nova bouquet on Startimes satellite TV, which has 35+ channels and cost only N600, the Smart bouquet with 85+ channels will be reduced from N3000 to N1800, for Super bouquet you only need to pay N3600 to enjoy 117+ channels which is N4500 before. What an amazing reward?This adjustment will be effective from May 1.

Here's the link to the article on their website: http://www.startimes.com.ng/single_news.php?newsid=45

my payment was made at startimes office, okefia osogbo. the guy on the system that day chop more than 3 subscribers money from what i gathererd when i went there to lodge complain as people were shouting on the startimes operatives. even a pregnant women in annoyance left her decoder there for them. imagine paying your hard earned money without any fruit and some small boy with o level will turn you into a fool. pls unless you are working for startime, the last commentator should get off my case. shekanan.

I won't get off your case, if you don't want people's opinion don't seek it by posting on a public forum. Your initial story did not include the details you just mentioned, and you still haven't mentioned if you were given a receipt for the first payment. I still maintain that no paytv company would ask you to pay again for subdcription if you have proof of payment, they will simply rectify your problem.

Besides you've admitted that it was a particular guy that chopped your money. Even though he works for startimes, you approached a different person without proof of payment and you expect them to magically accept your claims? Haba. Why come here and blame Startimes as a whole for something that's not entirely their fault?

Next time tell the story in its entirety and don't edit it to suite your claims.
