2. Snapseed
This is probably the best free photo editing app you can get on your smartphone. Snapseed by Google offers advanced photo editing features that are usually found in the powerful desktop software. I personally use it for all of my photo editing on smartphone and really love its interface that works on swipe gestures. All the editing is done by swiping up/down or left/right. You can quickly swipe up/down to select an option while using an effect and swipe right/left to increase or decrease its implementation. Some of its prominent features include crop, rotate, image tuning, brushes, healing, add text, vignette, and a ton of filters. All of these editing features come with additional options and controls that makes them even better. You will have to try the app to see its true potential.

1. Google Duo
This is one of the best video calling apps that you will ever find. There are literally no extra features or menus to go through that may make things even a little confusing. You simply need to press the big video call button, choose the contact and the video call connects. This is the app you want to give to your less-tech-savvy grandparents so they can easily video chat with you when they miss you.Even though it is simple, the call quality is amazing, and the app itself is really light. On top of that, the app is cross-platform so you can easily call between Android and iOS devices, and it has a nice live preview feature as well that lets you see the caller (in real-time) even before picking up.

Google does receive fair backlash from people for the privacy invasion through its apps and services, but most people will agree that Google never sacrifices on the quality of its service. Most of the apps by Google are listed in the top best apps in the category. If you love apps by Google, then we know some great Google apps that may not be as popular as others but are still really handy.Below we have listed seven Android and iOS apps by Google that are completely free and offer great features.

1. Need to quickly undo some typing? Shake your phone. In most cases, this will let you quickly reset text fields.

2. Get notifications through your phone’s LED. Use the Settings>General>Accessibility menu to turn them on.

3. Drag your text messages to the left to see time stamps. Now you’ll never wonder when a message was sent!

4. Ask Siri to show you the planes above you. She’ll present you with a list of all of the planes in the area along with detailed information on their flight paths and altitudes.Cool!

5. Get iOS to remind you to call someone. If you’re about to miss a call, hit the “Remind Me” icon. Your phone can remind you to call the person in an hour, when you leave your office, or when you get home.

6. Swipe left on the Compass app for a free level. This is useful for hanging pictures.

7. Reset the RAM for a faster phone. Simply hold the power button until the phone asks you to “Slide to Power Off.” Hold the home button instead; this clears the RAM and provides a noticeable improvement in phone speed.

Biafrans are crazy.

It might sound like a joke but it's real. Everything the writer said about pythons in Anambra state is true. I am from obosi, Idemili North local government of Anambra state. I currently live in aba, abia state. I have had encounters with snakes in my room and bathroom. Those creatures just visit quietly and live quietly. Crazy right? But that is culture.

So when is Microsoft coming out with its next dead on arrival boring Surface Pro?

A date have not been given

bongolistik:
you sounded so knowledgeable in what you just wrote up there but, your write up is quite misleading to the public. Surface Pro is no anywhere near Microsoft any coming smartphone. In fact Microsoft surface Pro is not a phone as you assert and it has been into existence for long now as Microsoft hybrid tablets. So I don't know where you are getting that information that Microsoft New phones are coming as Surface Pro

It is not yet an official name. But this is what I have learnt from Microsoft called surface phone.

While it's struggling to flog its smartphones, Microsoft has at least had some success with its Surface line of tablets, so it's perhaps no surprise that speculation points to the firm dumping its Lumia branding altogether and launching a Surface-branded line of handsets.

Latest news
26/09/16: Microsoft has filed a patent for "fingerprint detection with transparent cover". Sources claim Microsoft has developed a fingerprint scanner that's integrated into a transparent sheet, thereby avoiding the bulk usually associated with a sensor module.

Release date
Early reports suggested that Microsoft's next smartphone will break cover before the year is out, while some rumours point to a launch in 2017.

There are arguments for both. An end of year release would capture the holiday market and serve as a counterpoint to big hardware releases from the likes of Apple and Samsung. However, waiting until next year would allow Microsoft to tie the handset into the rumoured Surface Pro 5 and Surface Book 2 launch.


If the 2016 launch is chosen, we'd expect Microsoft to hold a hardware event in October to announce the release.

Microsoft's Surface Phone reportedly will follow the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy smartphones with a high-end aluminium and magnesium unibody, the same combination favoured by Lenovo for the Ideapad 710S.

Some months back I talked about how Windows OS was for Old people, those that are not really interested in technology, market men and women who are just after making and receiving calls.
Some Windows OS users came and blabbed and defended their boring, lazy, unintuitive and uninspiring platform called Windows phones.
Fast forward October 2016, things are even worse for that OS, hardly do I see real human beings using any phone with Windows logo on it. So my concerns this morning is, have those things finally become obsolete?

No windows phone is not dead but just experiencing transition time. Just like any Operating system that fills left behind. Have you ever imagine using the same version of applications in your desktop computers in your smartphone. If you have used a windows phone you will notice there are only two things to complain about the platform. The 1st on the list is lack of applications and better integration of applications with the OS. That is what windows 10 is for, and it's coming along with continuum. The lumia line may be dead but Microsoft New smartphone will be call surface Pro. Just like nexus and pixel smartphone from Google Android. Every OEM manufacturers is waiting to take advantage of windows10.

Another IPOD yoot brought England straight into Anambra.

A merchant is still a merchant even in the midst of war. May be if your dullard president had the brain of an igbo man the country will be doing well, but his brain is from the north therefore acts like a cow.

News Pro - the Microsoft Garage application that's designed to give you work-related news - is finally available for Android. The app has been iOS-only since it was released over eight months ago, and the company even released version 2.0 back in May .

According to the app description, News Pro for Android seems to have a feature parity with the iOS version. You can annotate or comment on an article, and then share it, and of course, you can tailor your feed toward your interests.

There's also the News Pro bot, which promises a surprise if you upload a selfie. (Spoiler: the surprise is that it will tell you which celebrity you look like the most, and then give you news about that person.)

The app is currently listed in the Google Play Store as having been installed only 5-10 times, although it's likely that the number simply is yet to be updated, as it already has nine reviews, giving it an average score of 4.7 out of 5. But it's not yet available in Nigeria.

If your smartphone’s battery isn’t lasting as long as it used to, it could be because you haven’t taken very good care of it. Here’s the science of how smartphone batteries work, and how you can keep them healthy for longer.

This video from the American Chemical Society’s Reactions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUlbHMDCosI explains the chemical reactions happening in your phone’s lithium ion battery, and shares some easy ways to make it hold a charge longer. It all comes down to these three tips:

1. Avoid high heat: Heat speeds up the chemical reactions taking place in your phone’s battery, and that means you’ll have to charge it a lot more often. Also, extreme heat can cause thermal runaway and boil the liquids in your phones battery—which can damage it forever or make it explode.

2. Don’t let the battery die: Despite what you may have been told, you don’t have to let your lithium ion battery completely die before charging it (unlike nickel batteries). Lithium ion batteries never “forget” their capacity, but the maximum capacity does degrade over time. And you actually speed up your battery’s degradation by letting it lose its charge. If your phone is about to die, just turn it off yourself to avoid the damage.

3. Always store it at 50%: If you’re going to be away from your phone for a while—like going on vacation, or trying out a different phone—turn it off when the battery is half charged, and store it in a cool place. This will prevent capacity degradation and permanent damage to the battery or phone.

No matter what, smartphone batteries will lose some capacity as you use them. In fact, it’s estimated to be anywhere from 4% to 20% capacity loss every year. But with these tips you should be able to keep your battery in ship-shape until you decide to upgrade.

How do you know this, has his blow killed anyone before?

Don't you see the way he is pulling her. That lady can not even stand properly.

That girl is in hot soup. You can't do that to a dude and expect to go scout free. A single blow from that dude will end her life. The police should better save the day. If not he will be acting in self defence.

If you really understood Jesus teachings , you will also notice he sometimes speaks in proverbs. He said love ur neighbours as you love ur self. The actual meaning is that you should love ur self before you love ur neighbours. He said you should pray for ur enemies, cloth them and forgive them. He is actually telling you their is no permanent enemy neither is their a permanent friend. When he was in the temple he saw exchange of money he got angry pushed things down and said "my house!! my house shall be a house of prayer and not a house for thieves. And when one of the priest came to question his authority. Jesus called the priest a hypocrite. You see Jesus preached Salvation, but today's pastors preaches prosperity. Jesus also let us know that God is a Carpenter, a brick layer because God is Wisdom and Understanding. What am trying to tell you is God gave you Wisdom and understanding. You don't need any man of God to tell you what is good and bad. For in the eyes of God every man is equal. NO MAN OF GOD IS GOD. Jesus presented himself as the Son of God. He was born just like everybody was born, he didn't fly from heaven to earth. That's to tell God created everyone in his own image, so how can you look at God's creation as an enemy. When all he created is beautiful.

If its owned by a Nigerian why did hot 3 LTE not come to Nigeria but it came to Kenya. Why does his name not show when I search for the owner of infinix or tecno. Total lies.

He is not telling lies. Tecno brand is owned by a Nigerian.

Nice Observations but I beg to differ

What made Mourinho special was winning the Europa and Champions League in 2003 and 2004 respectively with Porto. What was his MER in the UCL that year? How often do middleweight teams win the Champions League?

Mourinho in Chelsea
Before Mourinho came to Chelsea, Chelsea were already heavy spenders. Chelsea already had the unenviable record of being the first premier league team to feature a starting 11 without a British Player.It was Mourinho who turned Chelsea from an also-ran to Champions.

Mourinho in Inter.
Inter Milan have always been big spenders breaking world record fees with the purchases of Christian Vieri and Ronaldo Da Lima. Yet in 45 years, they hadn't won the champions league. Mourinho comes and breaks the Jinx. Not one or two but three trophies. What was his MER in the UCL that year?

Mourinho in Real Madrid
Real Madrid are traditionally big spenders. Between 2004 - 2009, Madrid bought Ronaldo (€94M), Kaka(€65M), Robben(€36M), Benzema(€35M), Alonso (€30M), Huntellar(€20M), Sneijder(€27M), Van Nisterooy(€15M), Pepe (€30M), Ramos (€28M), Higuain(€13M) and others. With all the money spent, Real Madrid in the aforementioned years failed to make it to the last four in the UCL. In fact, they couldn't even go beyond the last 16 between 2005 and 2010. Mourinho goes there and Real Madrid make the semis three years in a row. They also win the league (which featured possibly the best club side (Guardiola's Barca) in history). Also Real Madrid wins the Copa Del Rey for the first time in 18 years.

Yes, he spends money but money alone does not guarantee success. Knowing who to buy and how you use what you buy does.

But the facts are there to back it up somewhat;-

- Mourinho has never really had success without spending huge amounts of money in order to accomplish it.

-The clubs he’s been at are all clubs expected to win the leagues, winning them is no real shock.

- The signings made by Mourinho have always been an extraordinarily high outlay.

Let’s start by looking at Benfica, Mourinho took his first steps into management with 9 games at Benfica, he got 5 wins from 9, but lost twice, and left after a dispute with the high ups at the club - and it wouldn't be the last time.

He then ended up at Uniao Leiria where he took charge for the last 7 games of their season, securing their highest spot ever of 5th, a position that they already occupied prior to his arrival so he can't really take the credit for that despite various sources claiming it was all his work.

In his second season he kept the team solidly in 3rd where he attracted the attention of Porto.

Up to this point in his career Mourinho had show promise, that cannot be denied, but from this moment onwards his career would spiral and spending for success would be the norm.

He joined Porto who were in fifth spot and he promised that they would win the league. In his first full season in charge Mourinho spent approximately £10 million despite having a strong squad anyway.

This would become his calling card, taking top squads and spending large sums of money on them, in his second season he spent nearly £10 million again and this time won the Champions League, and that’s when Mourinho started one of his seconds traits.

Mourinho will take a club to its highest high and leave, knowing he cannot again take them to those heights, and if he fails during a season he gives up and leaves.

Following his Champions League win with Porto he left for Chelsea and became one of the highest paid football managers of all time with a Salary of £4.2 million, this is where the nickname the Special One originated, during an interview with him saying: "Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one."

Mourinho started his career at Chelsea by spending £140 million on 10 players; players if anything they didn’t desperately need at an average of £14 Million per player.

Mourinho managed to do the double and in doing so setting a series of Premier League records as they did.

In his second season he spent £80 million, that’s £80 million on the reigning champions, the reigning champions who lost none of their first team players, again they won the league. Was Mourinho the 'Special One' he declared himself to be?

His third year Mourinho spent another £80 million but this year missed out on the trophy and that was it. After spending nearly £300 million on players in total the league couldn’t be won, and Mourinho packed his bags in late September to take over Inter Milan.

He realised he couldn’t win the league and was out of the Bridge like a shot once the Internazionale job came up.

In his first season he spent £50 million to try and strengthen the squad and despite winning the league fell short of the expectations that came with it, so Mourinho spent £83 million on a squad that again really needed no improvement.

Mourinho won the Champions League with Inter thus fulfilling the duty he was brought in for, much to everyone’s delight, not much mention of the £120 million though; so what next for the special one?

One of the richest clubs in the world of course. Real Madrid came knocking and thus started one of the biggest rivalries in recent generations.

The summer of 2010 Mourinho took the reins at Real Madrid, one of the richest teams in the world, a team that a year previously had spent £225 million on getting some of the best players in the world.

Yet Jose still felt necessary to spend £82 million - much the same in 2011 when Mourinho spent £43 million and just managed to pip Barcelona to the La Liga Title. Finally after two years and £125 million, again he’d done what he was brought in to do.

But again no-one seemed to care about the millions he had spent doing so. The ‘Special One ‘ had now spent nearly half a billion to achieve what he had, yet was still heralded as a great manager.

Mourinho spent one final season at Real and having only spent £29 million seemed to be destined for England once more, and that he was it for his La Liga Career.

Mourinho’s dream of managing Manchester United didn’t come off though and he ended up back at the Bridge.

And here we are, Mourinho has completed the signing of Nemanja Matic, A player sold for under £4 million bought back at £22 Million, bringing the total spending of Chelsea this window to £88.5 million and pushing Mourinho’s total spending as a manager to £562.5 million.

At Manchester United fc JOSE MOURINHO has wasted no time in going about spending his £200million transfer budget at Manchester United. Eric Bailly, Villarreal, £30m. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain, free transfer on 1 year deal, £230,000 a week to play at Old Trafford, meaning the one-year deal will cost United £12m. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Borussia Dortmund, £26m. Paul Pogba, Juventus, £89m. Taking his total spending spree to (£145m).

This article isn’t to question Mourinho’s abilities as a man manager, something he is surely very good at, but it’s to raise the question, "How come no-one has questioned him for spending so much?"

Of course to maintain the stature of some of the biggest clubs in the world money has to be spent, but since taking over at Arsenal in 1996 Arsene Wenger has spent only £430,850,000 but through diligent spending and purchasing only actually lost £13,800,000 in that time – whilst also winning the Premier League 3 times and the FA Cup 4 times.

The man is clearly not a bad football manager but when we talk to the best players we always level them with one question, ‘Could they do it on a cold wet night in stoke?’

A friend of mine is in need of a good Android phone which coats not more than 20k... Suggestions pls!

Go for lenovo 2010. You can get it N19500 at slot.

Kenneth10110:
So what's your point?

You don't compare Boom j8 and Camon C9 because they are of different chip set. The boom j8 is Quad core and that of Camon C9 is Octa core. The Octa core chip Camon C9 uses is known for heating up and that's why I said its normal.

In this harsh economy you will kill and destroy our people's crops. You will even kill our bread winners . Fulani Herdsmen have not seen anything. Since buhari have refused to arrest them or call them to order. We will tell him the youths will defend their fathers and mothers. If they want war we will give it to them.

Try and find ur receipt. If you have money write a petition against spectrum with the help of a lawyer. You will be surprised how fast they will attend to you.

Kenneth10110:
I disagree i use the Tecno Boom J8 and i play HD games like FIFA 16,Asphalt 8,Mkx. I must say my phone doesn't heat even a little always cool. moreover he his not the only complaining on the C9 Gaming issue have seen reviews pointing at is complaint.

Your boom J8 is a Quad core MTK chip. Quad-core chips, each core can be put to work simultaneously on a given task, enabling fast and fluid multitasking, smooth 3D gameplay, and super-speedy camera performance, among other things.

Camon C9 is an Octa core MTK chip. Octa-core chips, meanwhile, simply have two sets of quad-core processors, which split various tasks between them according to type. Most of the time, the lower-powered set of cores will be employed. When advanced tasks are needed, however, the faster set of four cores will kick in.

What's the point of having two sets of quad-core processors handing off tasks to one another, then? It's all about energy efficiency.

The more powerful a CPU is, the more power it has to draw from a device's battery. This poses a problem, given that smartphone battery technology hasn't advanced at anywhere near the rate of mobile processor technology.

Try Changing ur Memory Card.

Seriously what do they think they are doing. This is not a celebrity show or Nollywood crap. This is for IT Professions.

Sir,

Please read the bible again......

The motive behind building both of them is different

— Genesis 11:4–9

5 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.

6 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

7 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.

8 Therefore its name is called Babel.

Exactly my point. Was looking for the image and came across a perfect one. Why destroy the tower when it doesn't even take lead to you? We didn't just build tall buildings, we flew high and as if that wasn't enough, we rocketed ourselves out of this planet.

Ur phone is poorly optimized. uninstall mostly applications you don't need. like the facebook app. use facebook lite.

WhatsApp™

No one wakes up excited to see more advertising, no one goes to sleep thinking about the ads they'll see tomorrow. We know people go to sleep excited about who they chatted with that day (and disappointed about who they didn't). We want WhatsApp to be the product that keeps you awake... and that you reach for in the morning.
Remember, when advertising is involved you the user are the product.

how much were u paid?

Whatsapp™;

Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA, and we built WhatsApp around the goal of knowing as little about you as possible: You don't have to give us your name and we don't ask for your email address. We don’t know your birthday. We don’t know your home address. We don’t know where you work. We don’t know your likes, what you search for on the internet or collect your GPS location. None of that data has ever been collected and stored by WhatsApp, and we really have no plans to change that.
If partnering with Facebook meant that we had to change our values, we wouldn’t have done it.

They moved to a completely free business model in Jan 2016.

whatsapp™
…people might wonder how we plan to keep WhatsApp running without subscription fees and if today's announcement means we're introducing third-party ads. The answer is no. Starting this year, we will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from.

To conclude - there are only very few things that are free and enjoyable - water. air, love and whatsapp happens to be one of them.

The death of whatsapp is near. 1st it was non support of blackberry devices to feature phones. Now its privacy leakage....facebook and annoyance be like 5&6. Telegram or Signal here i come.

its normal, Just like any Android smart phone the processor tends to get warm when exercised. Relax and Enjoy ur Phone.
