How is the battery life of this phone man? And general performance like any issues?

Battery life is good but I've not had a good chance to test it thoroughly since I charge it at any given opportunity grin

.
I'm mid/heavy user so there's some occasional lag when multitasking some apps. One reoccurring lag I experience is immediately after switching on the data connection, all the apps with online access also get connected and their updates/notifications cause lag.

I also tried installing that update again...... bootloop said hi multiple times and I had to force restart it.

Tried to install an update on my Nokia 2.4 and was stuck on bootloop, had to force restart the phone. I cannot come and have anxiety over a new phone.

There was enough space on the phone when installing update.

ChiefZaddy:
Anyone using Nokia 2.4? Would like a review

Nokia 2.4 2gb/32gb variant user here, bought it last week, wanted a Xiaomi redmi 9c but slot were out of stock(same price).

It has a mediatek hello p22 processor (Redmi 9c has a helio G35) so expect some stutters while playing games like CODmobile (mostly on the battle royale mode,), battery does last a while (4500mah Vs 5000mah on the Xiaomi), 5watts charging (10watts on the Xiaomi), I've not really tried to test that aspect because I charge it often( not really good but I don't trust PHCN). Camera is laughable, I haven't seen a compatible gcam to remedy that, call quality is great on both sides. The speaker is moderately loud, okay mid-tones but the usual lack of low end bass at this price range. Phone restarted sometimes but the culprit is most likely an app I installed due to similar symptoms from a friend's phone.
Stock Android is nice with at least 2 more years of updates (Android One program). The fingerprint scanner is not fast, not too easy to locate with your finger(but your success rate will increase as time goes on), and it's not very accurate ( sometimes takes multiple tries/repositioning to register or it just fails so you have to resort to pin etc so don't expect emergency openings every time).

Download Shazam on your phone and let the app listen to the song when it's playing. It'll help you find the song

Thanks, I will try that.

Car Talk › Re: The SSC Tuatara Shatters The World Record With A 331 MPH (533 KM/H) Speed Run by gremp(m): 2:54am On Oct 30, 2020

laivwire:
At last the record is out. The run was done last week or so. I thought they will target about 309mph but 331 is a clear mark. I guess Bugatti and Koenisegg will have to up their game now. SSC always remains the top dog

After breaking the top speed record with its Chiron Super Sport 300+, Bugatti said they wouldn't chase after any more records so count them out unless they change their minds.

LikeAking:
YES..

But religon and co are the real cos of all the problems in the world today.

Can I expose some things.

Read with an open mind.

Religion and education have taken a center stage of our lives,which is totally wrong.

It shouldn't be that way on a normal day.

Both of the above mentioned culprits have nothing or little to with teaching humans how to coexist with one another.
They focus on diffrent subjects relevant to their fields,even when they talk about how the live with people it almost an empty statement.They dont teach you how.

The main focus of religion is to teach man how to follow and obey God.All their teachings are on this subject.

So people have learnt how to follow God and unlearnt how to create a healthy relationship with their fellow humans.

They have learnt how to love God and hate their fellow humans.

Its God world,not a human world.

Its kinda a trade off.

The knowledge of humanity has been relegated to the abyss.

creating a healthy relationship with our fellow humans is not the main subject matter of this world.When we begin to focus on it the world will become beta.

Quite alright a major part of Christianity is obeying God but we're not forced to do so but to obey of our own accord, to love him of our own choosing, because God doesn't force anyone to love him. Being Christlike is to love as "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for us, and whosoever believes shall not perish but have eternal life" and we're to love others as he loves us.

Please ignore those "Christians" who follow their own wisdom, make and adjust their own morality to suite themselves and deem themselves holy and righteous of their own accord.
Don't judge Jesus Christ by the church, judge the church by Jesus Christ and don't confuse Christ with christians , we may bear his name but we certainly don't always live up to it.

Connected1:
Mr 10munites you are very correct.
I believe what Nigeria need are collective protests to #EndCorruption, but it won't have much supporters because alot of Nigerians are actively involved in it.
I wish this energy was channeled to #EndCorruption instead of this stupid #EndSars.

Yeap a lot of Nigerians are involved in corruption so it'll be almost impossible for an #EndCorruption protest to start but, if the good citizens know how to steer this momentum gained which has swept up almost everybody into an #EndCorruption protest, the bloodlust and adrenaline might just be enough to mask the intent ( which is to end the corruption most people are involved with). So this #EndSARS protest is not a stupid thing, it has potential.

doggedfighter:
Stop spewing trash

Strong words... Please try and understand what that person is trying to say. Years back I had (still do but not as avid) a keen interest in military weaponry and followed up on the latest news on those weapons of mass destruction and one of the things that struck a great image was the sheer amount of money allocated per year with different companies bidding for the contracts, we are talking billions of dollars spent on those instruments of war, most were experimental and would never see the light of day. If such amount of money is spent on weaponry then definitely there has to be more for other infrastructures. So we as a country as of now and the near foreseeable future can't expect to be innovators and trailblazers in that aspect.

10minutes:
Nobody likes SARS yes....
but from what I know SARS has been fighting boko haram too
and because of SARS A lot of communities in Rivers states enjoyed peace....
now that they are gone insecurity some riverine communities has increased.
There are a lot of things to protest about
infrastructure?
insecurity?
bad government?
restructuring?
food security?
ASUU strike?
it is just a waste of protest and energy.

Though this might feel like a drop compared to the ocean of problems, one can't deny the potential this victory brings. Just like a boulder tipped down a slope, this victory might embolden nigerians to stand up against those problems you mentioned, and if timed and spaced right, subsequent protests can also bring victory.

nice written reply, the LC is not my kinda car though, just like you said, it's not fast.
The Carrera gt sounds nice too, maybe because the engine was F1 derived.

Thanks, we all have our preferences and that's what makes us unique wink

, sometimes that need for speed is exhilarating shocked

It seems as if it's on a world of its own, I didn't know its engine is F1 derived, I need to have a critical listen to its engine note....... For educational purposes of course grin

try listening to the maserati gt too

Sounds very good with a mean but not too deep sound, right amount of pops (thankfully not a fart can) . I also feel it sounds tight like a sizeable amount of power is sent down a small outlet with no room for the sound to bounce around and play cry

.

For me personally in terms of V8's I rate the Lexus LC 500(not the 500h ooo) very highly if not the highest in the sounds department due to the pleasures you get from bouncing the Rev Limiter before upshifting and its downshifts is top 5 of the best downshifts I've ever heard which makes me feel they made the transmission 10-speed on purpose.
It's a near perfect blend of comfort, pleasure and sportiness which makes it a traditional GT car which is a breath of fresh air in an era where the pursuit of speed and acceleration trumps everything.

Porsche Carrera Gt
The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 L (5,733 cc) V10 engine rated at 450 kW (612 PS; 603 hp), whereas the original concept car featured a 5.5 litre version rated at 416 kW (566 PS; 558 hp).A road test in June 2004 by Car and Driver showed that the car can accelerate from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 3.5 seconds,0-161 km/h (100 mph) in 6.8 seconds and 0-209 km/h (130 mph) in 10.8 seconds. The official top speed was 330 km/h (205 mph).
The car sounds heavenly it is my 2nd favourite sounding car after the LFA.

Naturally Aspirated - Check

Assessable - Check
Reliable - Check
Sonorous Engine Sound - Check
No-nonsense Exhaust Note - Check

Well using that brings a result in the form of the Lexus RC-F. The RC F features a 5.0 L (4,969 cc) 2UR-GSE V8 engine with Atkinson cycle at cruising speeds, developing a maximum output of 473 PS (467 bhp; 348 kW) at 7100 rpm and 389 lb⋅ft (527 N⋅m) of torque at 4800-5600 rpm.

A 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and the Track Edition time of 3.96 seconds cool

As far as you’ve never owned a jaguar before,
You have no right to talk about British cars and say it’s a failure.
It’s simple, we must not talk in every thread.
Jaguar is a powerful car. I’ve not used one and I’ve never driven one before, so I won’t just start talking.
My only issue here is

How do they survive in Nigeria, the likes of jaguar, Royce,Ferrari,Dodge Charger etc.

So if we use your presets for example that means if we've never been in a certain country before, we have no right to say whether the country is safe or not huh

...sigh

That train of thought is more suitable to the time before the internet, as now you have assess to world class analysts like Kelly Blue Book and consumerreports who compile data on those cars.

Does that mean they're not fun to drive?no, Does that mean they're not less reliable?no.
They're mostly over-engineered, thereby there are a lot of things that can go wrong.

A person in Nigeria who owns cars like Ferrari's and Lamborghini's are less likely to daily drive them and most likely have multiple cars so if those exotics break down they have options and there are specialised technicians who work on those cars.
Like they say; If you have the money to buy an exotic, you must have the money to maintain the exotic.

Thanks for replying, so does that mean a mixture of solid and hollow has to be used so that the areas that need wiring/plumbing can get the hollow blocks in that specific place?.
