When it comes to downloading I use ADM Pro more. The ability to resume an expired link by just re-adding and updating the link is something Ucbrowser have lost the ability. I have been UC Browser for over 13 years but they have lost all the things that made them loved.
Very true, its just that my bookmarks are much, that is why am reluctant to migrate, if there is a way I can export my bookmarks, I don go be that. Ucweb have lost all its glory.

Lol, but I adore that browser just that lately their methods of enforcing advertisement on us is annoying. Which browser do you think cuts to be the best in data, battery conservation and not being too heavy and can load all sites and have a download manager like ucweb?

Using size to differentiate a melanistic leopard from a melanistic jaguar (both black panthers), is not quite foolproof.

I'd rather use their tails, because a leopard's tail is almost as long as its body and very noticeable. The jaguar's tail is not as long as that of its cousin.



Meanwhile, can someone tell the difference between these two cats below?
With their specific names of course cheesy

Please my fellow officers...
Do Dssc go for war front too. Some of school mates got in for dssc this year and was like the go too. How true?
We keep preaching to people that once you are commissioned, you are first a soldier before being any other thing, why do you think you are taught how to handle weapons if you ain't going to use it. Whether dssc, ssc, rc, ec, rri, etc, just zero your mind as a soldier that you'll serve anywhere and you may die within seconds. As a soldier, you have no life and peace, the only life you have is the one you are to lose for your country. And as a soldier you swore an oath to the country and the president, am saying all these to tell those who still think being a soldier is about starching khaki and visiting shoprite to buy milk.
Thank you.

This one is no longer a deal breaker. A memory card is never entering any of my device.
As for me, why I will need a memory card slot is cos of tweaking and flashing when you'll need the files to be in an external memory card.

PhonesHuawei ‘deepens’ Ties With Mediatek, Qualcomm by explosiveskull(op): 8:14pm On Aug 06, 2020
Company orders more than 120 m chips from MediaTek amid US chip ban: reports

Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei has reportedly signed a letter of intent for a large chip purchase order with Taiwan's MediaTek, a move showcasing it is adapting a strategy of unifying industry "competitors" and diversifying chip supplies amid a countdown to the US' toughened chip ban, said analysts.

According to media reports, Huawei has ordered more than 120 million chips from MediaTek. MediaTek said in a response that "it does not comment on information related to a single customer."

"I would say the report is 90 percent true," Ma Jihua, an industry analyst and a close follower of Huawei, told the Global Times Tuesday, noting that buying chips from its former competitor MediaTek is a forced but also a well-planned move to give the company breathing space over the US chip ban.

The US government put Huawei on an "Entity List" in May 2019 which required US firms to obtain a license to export domestically produced chips and software. On May 15 this year, Washington toughened the rules by requiring licenses for sales to Huawei of semiconductors made abroad with US technology, with a 120-day buffer time.

It is a win-win move, as Huawei's chip subsidiary HiSilicon may risk "finding nowhere to produce high-end chips," so the Chinese firm has to diversify its chip supplies. It happens that MediaTek's 5G chips are "not bad," a Huawei follower surnamed Jiang told the Global Times Tuesday.

On the other hand, MediaTek will also stand out among competitors with orders from such a big customer as Huawei, Jiang said.

If the deal is true and assuming that Huawei could ship about 180 million mobile phones this year, MediaTek's market share is more than two-thirds, far better than its US counterpart Qualcomm, media reports estimated.

The move also comes as Huawei has reached a deal with US chip firm Qualcomm to settle a patent dispute last week. Huawei will pay Qualcomm $1.8 billion for back royalties owed for 2019 and for the first six months of this year under the new global patent license agreement. The new deal also includes a cross license granting back rights to certain Huawei patents, covering sales beginning January 1, Qualcomm said.

"The series move also signifies Huawei is adapting its strategy amid the US' intensified crackdown, and it's trying to reduce industry opponents while seeking cooperation and deepened ties with more industry players to counter the US ban," Ma said.

Some industry analysts said the deal with Qualcomm may also pave the way for the US company to supply 5G semiconductors to Huawei in the future.

Nevertheless, Ma noted the reconciliation between Qualcomm and Huawei cannot be said to have direct benefits. After all, Huawei's problems are beyond the control of itself and Qualcomm as it is up to the Trump administration, Ma said.

"But an intertwined and deepened interest bond with a US firm will no doubt have positive influence on the policy trend," Ma said.

Industry analyst Jiang noted that this brings ties between the Chinese and US technology industries closer, which may create favorable conditions for higher-level negotiations and make so-called "decoupling" more difficult.

"Moreover, a development of 5G standards and its related industries also needs cooperation among Qualcomm, MediaTek and Huawei," Jiang said.

The Chinese firm has been moving against the headwinds over the past months. According to a report from TrendForce sent to the Global Times, Huawei is set to surpass Sweden's Ericsson to become the largest supplier in the mobile base station equipment market this year. Huawei is expected to occupy a global share of 28.5 percent, beating Ericsson by 2 percentage points.

For the first time ever, Huawei in the second quarter unseated Samsung to become the top smartphone vendor globally. According to Canalys, a technology research firm, Huawei took 19 percent of the global market share by shipping 55.8 million devices in the second quarter of 2020.

This came after Google cut its support for Huawei under the US rule, which was aimed at denting Huawei's overseas phone sales.

BUT, LIKE SERIOUSLY, SO THAT US BAN IS THIS SERIOUS. I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE SETTLED, how can one be using an android device without play store.

This note 9 pro update of 11.0.5 is somehow, I've been having network issues like it ain't as stable and consistent as before but it is just ok and useable as I wait for its correction in anothher update maybe.
Also, after updating yesterday, I discovered it was hard to download themes if your region is Nigeria, so to download a new theme, I'd have to change my region to india and back to Nigeria afterwards.
The battery life is much more excellent with this update, the memory management is fine and I a kind of discovered that the music player has virtualization in lock screen maybe that is theme dependent but I loved it.
That is my opinion for the update, you may experience something different.

Hi guys.
So my sister has an issue on her new Note 9s. She said she was just making a call. Normally as you put phone to ear, screen goes dark. She said as the call ended, the screen has refused to come up again since then. I have been calling her, her phone is ringing but she can't pick. She said she has even restarted the phone but screen is still not coming up. Phone is only 2 days old. Anyone experienced this or know possible solution? She don dey cry o
No screen protector on the phone and even when connected to charge, display still doesn't come up.
She should check if something is blocking the proximity sensor.
PhonesSamsung Said To Have Lost Qualcomm’s 5nm Chip Orders To TSMC by explosiveskull(op): 8:14pm On Aug 05, 2020
Recently, Samsung confirmed that it has started mass-production of 5nm chips. At the time, it was believed that the company could have started producing orders from Qualcomm’s next chipset.

However, it looks like that isn’t the case and Samsung might have lost the order to TSMC if the new report coming from China is to be believed. The reason being cited in the report is problems in the development process
had recently reported that the Samsung Foundry is struggling with low yields of its 5nm EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) process. Now, it is being reported that Qualcomm could shift the original order of Snapdragon X60 modem and Snapdragon 875 SoC to TSMC.

It seems that instead of shifting all the orders back from Samsung to TSMC, Qualcomm will distribute the orders among these two companies. Samsung also has an order of Snapdragon 735 SoC on 5nm node and is reportedly working on Exynos 1000 SoC.

TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipset manufacturer has already started mass-production of 5nm chips, starting with Apple‘s A14 chipset which will be powering the upcoming Apple iPhone 12 lineup.

The Taiwanese giant currently has a production capacity of 60,000 chips on a monthly basis on the 5nm process. But the company is looking to expand its capacity to reach around 80,000 to 90,000 units a month.

Samsung has ambitious plans for the future and aims to become the leading semiconductor company in the world by 2030. Apart from starting mass-production of 5nm chips, the company also announced that it has started working on the 4nm process.
