Phones › Solution To Getting BIS Edge Or 3g Network Symbol On Android. by grock1(op):
I noticed a lot of Pple are still finding it hard to get the edge or 3g symbol on android phones, after switching to blackberry.net APN..because mtn has supposedly blocked using bis on devices other than android.
But u will notice that when u switch to the mtn default APN I.e web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net, the symbol will show.

If the edge or 3g symbol doesn't show on ur android phone, there is no way u can ever use any trick like droidvpn or tweakware to browse on android.

Look no further my pals. This is a solution discovered by me and I know it will go viral on d net as soon as I paste it here cos a lot of Pple are really confused how some Pple are getting to use droidvpn/tweakware on android.

The problem is with d dns. Even setdns can't solve it.

Here is the step by step guide of what to do...

1. Dial *#*#info#*#* on ur phone. I.e *#*#4636#*#*
This will bring out some hidden android menu

2. Goto the first item: phone information

3. Scroll down to the bottom. At the bottom u will see a setting like "toggle dns check:0.0.0.0 not allowed"

4. Just tap the toggle dns ones to allowed I.e after u tap it ones it will become "toggle dns check: 0.0.0.0 allowed"

Press back and exit...the edge or 3g symbol should appear immediately on ur phone, if u have already set ur access point to blackberry.net. if it doesn't immediately, just toggle airplane mode on and off. And it will appear.

Then u can go ahead and use any trick whatsoever (droidvpn/tweakware) to browse with mtn bis on android.

N/b
U don't need ur phone to be rooted to do this. It works on all android phones.

Cheers.

If u wanna upgrade ur droidvpn to premium, contact me on rockar4u@yahoo.com

pls kindly advice..
i recieved instruction to pay the full tuition and board. but the problem now is that i really dont have money for board cos it was not budgeted with my plans yet.
my concerns are that i will like to stay off campus and also see the place i will stay b4 i pay.


i also have some pple that can accomodate me for a while (untill when i get my own accomodation)in canada, its just that their house is like one and half hour to the skool is this kind of distance acceptable for application? if so, what do i need to present to the embassy to convince them of this?

i contacted the skool to xplain that i cant pay for accomodation until i see the place . so they attached a letter to present to the embassy.


Homestay Confirmation

June 12, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to confirm that Mr. ************, will be residing with a host family during his studies in Environmental Mgmt/Assessment at Niagara College.
The host family will be:

Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON

The cost of living with a host family is $650 Canadian per month. First and last month’s fee are due upon the students’ arrival, a total of $1300 Canadian. The student will need to continue paying on the first of each month for the time that he continues to live with a host family in the region of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus.
Your Homestay fee includes a private bedroom with a bed, desk, chair, dresser and closet for your clothes. It also includes your meals and internet access for your computer.
Please note that homestay families may be changed without notice to the student if deemed necessary by the International Housing Coordinator. Although the family may change, the fees remain constant. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.
Sincerely,

He should stop worrying himself over nothing. His UK refusal was on time factor only. So he need not to worry. As for applying for a Canadian Student Visa yes he can apply it won't affect anything. So long as information is not withheld when filling out the Student application form. If he's been asked in the form if he's been refused a visa from any other country he should declare it and also the reason why he was refused for transparency. He should vet all his documents properly to make sure he meet all the requirements regarding the Canadian Student Visa before applying, because once beaten twice shy. If he want to go to UK for visit and he has the right documents to show for it he can apply first week in February his travelling date should be first week in April, he will be granted Visa. But if the student visa is his priority for now he can go for it because the choice is his to make. Have a good morning. Take care, and good luck in all your endeavours. Cheers
Thanks a lot.

Sorry about the sad news regarding your brothers refusal. The wedding was for the 29th of Dec. 2012, so its done already, you have right of appeal because its family visit visa. He can appeal if he want but my fear is the event in which he had wanted to travel has come and gone. Appeal takes a hell of time, time as in 6 to 9 months. To my own opinion if I was in his shoes I will reapply again for family visit visa to visit the couple since they only refused me on the ground of time factor. Please when reapplying allow enough time to enable them do their job cos they've got loads of pending application to deal with. When reapplying don't forget to declare you've been refused a visa before and the reason in which you was refused. Failure to disclose this piece of information will lead to 10 year ban. Make a choice and go for it. Trust me you'll be given visa if you reapply. Have a nice evening. Take care. Cheers.
Thanks lamosy..... No need to appeal then, because he wants to process canada student visa which usually takes upto 5 - 6 months. And he is planning to put in for dat by early april so that he could get b4 sept. He is just really worried and i feel for him because he is scared if he doesnt appeal, the refusal which is on his passport might affect him not given canada visa. But since appeal take a ver. Long time, i dont even know how to advice him again. Will the uk refusal on d passport affect his application for canada student visa? Pls i need a sincere answer. Im his brother n i feel his pains, but i dont know d best advise for him

Hello everyone, i have a brother wbo applied for a visiting visa on the 10th of dec for a wedding of another of our brother which was on the 29th of dec. He was refused and this is what the letters says:

"u state u will trave to the uk for your brothers wedding on the 29th dec 2012. I note that you applied for your visa on the 10th dec 2012 and as such you have not allowed sufficient time for the processing of your visa. Applicants are advised to allow 15 working days for the processing"
I have therefor refused.........
You hav a right to appeal against this decision under.....

He would have applied early, but the documents from uk arrived late. So we just told him to still giv it a try, not knowing he will be refused.

Pls what are his chance for this kinda appeal. Can he appeal, what does he need to say? Pls all advice will be grately appreciated.
