PhonesSamsung Unveils Gamepad For Smartphones by Gerardcole(op): 5:41am On Dec 17, 2013
https://www.naijatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/wpid-Samsung-Gamepad.jpg

Mobile gaming is big business, and there are more and more options coming out to expand the gaming options. If you want a dedicated device, NVIDIA has the Android-powered Shield, or there are smartphone accessory game controllers from a number of makers like MOGA. Now, Samsung wants to be part of that latter group with its newly announced Android GamePad.

The GamePad has a steel frame, but looks to be all plastic on the outside. It has a directional pad (sadly, it is a circle, which usually offers less accurate input), two analog sticks, four face buttons, and two shoulder triggers. The layout is similar to a PlayStation controller with the analog sticks parallel to each other, rather than an Xbox controller where the sticks are off-set. Oddly, Samsung also decided to rotate the face buttons so they are in more of a square formation rather than a diamond.

The GamePad is a bit smaller than a PlayStation 3 controller, but about the same weight. It is designed to sock a smartphone anywhere from 4-inches to 6.3-inches. It should work with any Android device running Android 4.1 or higher with Bluetooth 3.0, but it has (obviously) been optimized to run on a Samsung Galaxy device running Android 4.3 or higher. Interestingly, you can even use AllShare Screen Mirroring through an HDMI cable to play games on your TV.

PhonesSamsung Offered $1billion Per Annum To Produce Windows Phones by Gerardcole(op): 11:10pm On Dec 15, 2013
https://www.naijatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/wpid-windows-phone.png

Nokia Lumia series of smartphones accounts for 90% of the Windows Phone eco-system. The support from the other manufacturers like HTC, Huawei and Samsung in developing WP powered smartphones has been rather poor, which is a cause of concern for Microsoft.

Having already acquired Nokia, Microsoft is now trying to motivate other global manufacturers to develop Windows Phone OS based smartphones. According to a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, Microsoft has offered an annual sum of $1 billion to Samsung if the Koreans start producing Windows Phone devices.

You should get a good laptop. I'm one kinda person that doesn't believe in hardware upgrade. Can you upgrade the screen or upgrade the processor or upgrade the GPU?

To me I'll say you return the PC and get a better one. if you don't have the money, save the one you have now and when it's enough get a good one.

Blackberry's APN is blackberry.net not [b]blackberryx.net[/i]
PhonesHow To Use The Etisalat BIS On Other Phones And Computer by Gerardcole(op): 5:14pm On Dec 05, 2013
Now that we've all digested the news about Airtel halting the usage of Blackberry Service on other platforms besides Blackberry even if we are yet to see it implemented, we are sure it is coming in the nearest future and have to look for alternatives.

This articles explains how to use the Etisalat Blackberry Complete service on other platforms besides the Blackberry devices. Which is considered a quick and easy substitute for the about to be halted Airtel.

First we are going to be subscribing for our Blackberry Internet Service. You can do this by dialing *499*3# which is the monthly plan that offers you 30 days of internet access with the data capped at 3GB and costs N1,000.00. Alternatively you can subscribe for the weekly plan by dialing *499*3*1#. This one is a 7-day plan which costs N500.00 and data cap could not be ascertained as of the time of writing this.

Whichever on you choose to subscribe to, you should get a notification sms within some minutes of dialing the code. When you do get the sms. Proceed to the next step.

Second, you should subscribe to a BlackBerry 10 internet service, whichever one you choose is up to you but to save cost we would be using the 1-day plan which offers 10MB at N100. You can do this by dialing *599*3*2#.

When thats done. You're only changing your APN away from surfing the net with the BIS service on any device or OS. Change the Access Point Name (APN) of your device to blackberry.net.

Then you're good to go.

PhonesRe: Kindly Hepl; Phone Rebooting by Gerardcole(m): 10:56pm On Dec 04, 2013
That is an OS error. You should do a hard reset (while phone is turned on, hold power button for about 10secs).

That doesn't work? Do a factory reset.

That doesn't work either. Two things are involved. If you bought the phone new and is still under warranty, take it to the shop. On the other hand if its used or you've exceeded warranty period or broken your warranty, flash with a computer. (Google should come in here for articles on that).

Do you have a pc?

If yes, do a sync with pc and your old phone, then sync your pc to your new phone. Alternatively, use the sync app on the nokia phones.

Its been more than two years since I left Nokia, dunno if there still a sync app on their phones.

WebmastersRe: How Do I Make My Blog Post Short by Gerardcole(m): 12:03am On Dec 02, 2013
This works on wp. Dunno about bg.

If you write up to the point you want to be shown only when the post is visited, put the html tag.

<!--more-->

The rest of the post starting from where this tag is should then be stripped if the post is being shown on a posts list page.

No fears. That tag is in the html commenting format so it wouldn't show in your post even if blogger doesn't support it. I would be waiting for your feedback.
WebmastersRe: Help!!! Html Table Not Working On Moble Operamini by Gerardcole(m): 11:44pm On Dec 01, 2013
You mentioned you had Opera Mini single column view on.

To enable table tags on that view mode, you must indicate a css stylesheet for 'handheld' devices. Which is what Opera Mini uses if the 'SCV' is turned on and its supplied, if not, it falls back to its own optimization techniques.

So create a handheld css stylesheet and llink to it like this.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="handheld" href="link-to-css">

Or you can include it in your already existing css stylesheet by using the

@media handheld { /* You style declarations */ }

WebmastersRe: Where can I get N1700 Domain Name Registration In Nigeria by Gerardcole(m): 8:44am On Jul 22, 2013
Top up your account and get a domain from a reputable company in Nigeria. Depending on your bank, some banks allow withdrawals upto the very last kobo.

Yes, Godaddy acceps interswitch cards but you'll be required to provide a government approved ID like National ID or Drivers Licence or Intl Passport for verification purposes.

Your Voters Card isn't an option for many websites.

I run a forum and someone embedded an image in his/her post with my bbcode. The image link is http://www.hackedlord.sefanhost.cu.cc/hack/

I don't know how my browser Opera Mini & Chrome for Android ran the image as a script. It interrupts page load and alerts a false login form.

I simply turned of my images and hid the post. But I can't always be there to hide the post. So my question is How can I get rid of browser processing images if they ain't really images?
