PhonesRe: Check Out The Reason For Clearing Cache As Well As Data On Android? by Gsmbasics(op): 7:36am On Dec 30, 2016
duullie88:
Like a game... won't clear cache affect ur progress
Nice question, If you clear CACHE it won't affect the level you are playing on your game. but if you clear DATA it will not only clear your progress, it will reset the game to the way it was when you first downloaded it. the whole idea of clearing DATA is to make the app go back to its default state.
PhonesCheck Out The Reason For Clearing Cache As Well As Data On Android? by Gsmbasics(op): 6:53am On Dec 30, 2016
If you've by chance checked your Android application drawer, you've observed that every application has two tasks: Clear Cache and also Clear Data. But do users know the difference? And more important, do users know when they're helpful?

Clearing Application Cache


As you use an Android application, you may have to regularly pull data off the internet-- pictures, for instance. Rather than pulling it each time you make use of the app, the picture gets saved in a cache. It's much faster to get access to it next time, and also you save money on data plan.

But in some cases, the cache can differ from what the data should truly be, which can result in outdated info. Other times, the cache holds up with a lot of data, which can decrease app functionality. When this occurs, it can help to get rid of the cache.

Open up Settings.
Go to Apps.
click on the app you intend to clear.
Click on Clear Cache.


Removing App Data


As you make use of Android applications, some settings and data get saved between sessions. For instance, sign into an app clicking "Remember me" will save your information to data. Data also saves things such as account settings, app preferences, and so on.

Various applications, like Youtube, might store offline video data, while some other, such as Maps, may save offline map data. This can use up a LOT more storing space that you were looking for, which is a good idea to clear app data periodically. Basically, getting rid of app data "resets" an application back to the way it would be when it was initially installed.

Go to Settings.
Go to Apps.
click on the app you intend to clear.
Click on Clear Data.

PhonesWhatsapp Amazing New Features For Recalling Your Messages by Gsmbasics(op): 7:10am On Dec 28, 2016
WhatsApp Messenger is still ringing bells these Christmas season. Recently, it can be remembered that the application launched the video calling capability for all users in November. This helped to make a buzz around the globe, as it has been made use of by 55.6% of the world population.

This upgrade was offered over several phones, including those operating in iOS, Windows, and also Android. On the other hand, it will need users to update the application to get this new feature.

Bad news for a number of devices that will not get support from WhatsApp. These will involve phones operating Android 2.1 and 2.2, Windows Phone 7, as well as iPhone 3GS and those operating iOS 6. Also, those iPhones that haven't been up-dated to the iOS 10 version will not be supported.

Though, a bit of an extension is offered to users of Blackberry devices for example Blackberry OS as well as Blackberry 10. Although, WhatsApp currently supports those making use of Nokia S40 and Nokia S60 Symbian, but only before June 30 of 2017.

Latest Report

A new feature is coming to WhatsApp just before 2016 will end. WhatsApp will make it possible for people to take back sent messages, as they can modify it and post it once again to the receiver. It might have taken the idea from the best feature launched on Gmail, which is taking back sent emails.

This may be the new update coming from WhatsApp that could give people control over their text messages.

PhonesSamsung Galaxy S8 May Likely Feature A "Beast Mode" by Gsmbasics(op): 7:30am On Dec 25, 2016
Samsung's upcoming flagship smart device may have something referred to as a "beast mode". The South Korean OEM not long ago filed for a trademark on the name "Beast Mode".

While it is confusing what this mode will do, reviewers, have often used the caption "beast" for strong smart devices. It is then realistic to assume that the Galaxy S8 will have a unique mode for gaming, VR, or perhaps VR gaming. Because Samsung added unique capabilities for gamers on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge also confirms the assumption.

Given the latest Note 7 disaster, Samsung should be withdrawing all the stops. The Galaxy S8 is expected to operate on the Snapdragon 835 chipset, in addition to a minimum of 4GB of RAM. That being said, we could fairly expect Samsung to launch the Exynos-powered version in Nigeria. At the same time, the Snapdragon 835 as well as Exynos SoCs, are made on the 10nm process, which in theory allows lower power usage and greater performance.

At the same time, the Snapdragon 835 as well as Exynos SoCs, are made on the 10nm process, which in theory allows lower power usage and greater performance.

However, there have also been stories that there will be 8GB of RAM in the Galaxy S8. Samsung has been known making such options before, but 8GB RAM will certainly be too much for now.

The Galaxy S8 is likely to get introduced early next year. Samsung has reportedly raised its strategies for the phone, considering the Note 7 failure.

Very early release or not, we'll have to sit tight for specific information on the Galaxy S8.

Have you ever see a post that you really like on Instagram that you wish you could easily go back to over and over? Now you can.

Instagram now allows you save posts, basically bookmarking them for easy access later. Starting today, you'll see a bookmark icon listed below posts, in the same spot that you see the like, comment, and share buttons now. Tap that button and it'll show up in the new Saved area of your profile tab.
The new Saved section of your profile is nonpublic to you, so nobody else will view the posts that you've bookmarked.

Saved posts are readily available today on Android and iOS as part of Instagram version 10.2. The feature appears like a nice way to quickly go back to posts that have a recipe you might like to try, a restaurant to go to, or anything else. So if you're an Instagram user, watch out for it.

PhonesGoogle's Gboard Eventually Makes Its Way To Android by Gsmbasics(op): 11:45pm On Dec 13, 2016
Earlier this year, Google released a standalone keyboard app for iOS phones called Gboard. The idea is that it brings Google's search capability into the keyboard itself, therefore making things easier for people to search for things without having to leave the application that they are in already.

Surprisingly Google appeared to have only released it for iOS phones and not Android, however, that has since changed. Base on reports, it has been indicated that in the 6.0 update to Google Keyboard for Android, Google has modified its name to Gboard and has practically brought over all the same features for Android phones.

https://gsmbasics.com.ng/media/large/8ff4295edb-gboard-new.jpg

This includes things like the G button (which can possibly be disabled if you prefer not to have it there) that gives users quick easy access to search. There is also a pop-out toolbar that goes to themes, settings, one-handed mode, and a lot more. There is a devoted number row, support for as much as three active languages, the option to search for emoji, a dedicated GIF button, and Gesture typing has since been renamed to Glide typing.

The up-date isn't directly accessible from the Google Play Store right now of writing, so if you would like to get it you'll need to download it via APK Mirror. Otherwise, you can hold on as it will probably be officially available very soon.

PhonesWhatsapp Will Stop Working On Your Phone Soon by Gsmbasics(op): 10:45am On Dec 06, 2016
As we come near the end of the year, one billion active WhatsApp users should better check that they will have the ability to run the messaging application on their iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone systems.

In a blog post earlier this year, WhatsApp revealed that, by the end of 2016, the messenger app will not be supported on the following platforms:

* Nokia S40

* Nokia Symbian S60

* Windows Phone 7

* BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10

* Android 2.1 and Android 2.2

* iPhone 3GS/iOS 6



WhatsApp Messenger announced the platforms would be dropped as:

they do not provide the type of capabilities we need to increase our app's functions in the future.

So what can you do to stop this from taking place?

If you are one of those still using these affected mobile phones, we advise upgrading to a more recent Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone prior to completion of 2016 to continue making use of WhatsApp.

You can either upgrade or buy a new mobile phone.
So, for all those people still utilizing old 'vintage' Nokia phones: you may want to buy either Tecno or Infinix phone.
Alternatively, see if Nitel or fax are coming back again.

PhonesChina States That Iphone Sales Will Be Cut If Trump Enforces A Trade War by Gsmbasics(op): 9:48am On Nov 21, 2016
https://gsmbasics.com.ng/media/large/2aef606bab-us-vs-china-iphone.jpg

President-elect Donald Trump had some issues about China when he was on the campaign trail. He promised some stringent actions against China to balance the trade, in his view, between the two countries.


Now that he has won the elections and will be taking control of the top task in a few months, China is letting him understand that it will go to any length to safeguard its interests. The nation's state-run paper has actually stated that the government will hit back if Trump enforces a trade war on China.


An editorial released in the state-run Global Times said that it would be "ignorant" for Trump to carry out his campaign promise of stating China a currency manipulator and enforcing a 45 percent tariff on Chinese exports to the United States.


" China will take a tit-for-tat method then," the editorial cautions, saying that "A batch of Boeing orders will be changed by Airbus. United States auto and iPhone sales in China will suffer a setback, and United States soybean and maize imports will be stopped. China can also restrict the number of Chinese students studying in the United States."


The paper goes on to state that if the president-elect "wrecks" trade in between the United States and China, a number of companies in the United States will suffer. "Lastly the new president will be condemned for his recklessness, lack of knowledge and incompetence and bear all the repercussions," it predicts.


Chinese media has actually reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke to the president-elect recently, expressing that "cooperation is the only right option for China and the United States." The two leaders have agreed to interact carefully and meet "at an early date," according to reports in Chinese media.

PhonesFacebook Is Releasing Public Chat Rooms For Messenger Soon by Gsmbasics(op):
It is clear that Facebook wants us to stay glued to its Messenger app. This is why the firm has practically terminated any in-app chatting through the Facebook app, hence forcing users to download the Messenger app at the same time. Now it appears that we could be taking a look at a new feature for Facebook Messenger called "Rooms".


It has been reported that in certain markets, Facebook has actually introduced a new feature inside the Messenger app called Spaces, which appears to facilitate public chat. This was first reported two months ago that explained it as rooms are for public chats about people and interests. Each Room has a link that can be shared so anybody on Messenger can join the chats.


So how can we differentiate Rooms from group chats? For beginners, it is public, which means that chats you have in rooms may relate to specific subjects, or that it could be with users you may or might not know before. At least that's in accordance with a recent report where Facebook Messenger's product supervisor, Drew Moxon, told them it was developed to enable individuals to chat with other people who share comparable interests.


It sounds practically like Facebook is developing an online forum of sorts within Messenger, which isn't precisely new. Nevertheless provided how many users Facebook has and can take advantage of, we guess it might result in some lovely group discussions. For now, the new feature is being tested out in Australia and Canada, but most likely it will eventually make its way to other markets like Nigeria.
