When I tell people I don't associate with girls for now.. They would think I am gay.. This best explains the reason why.


Trying to avoid shittt like this!

I gave up on Nigerian girls... They have got no pride.

Mouthgag:
That guy na sharp guy

He showed the mumu police men pepper

He knew it was going to get to these...


He was arrested for traffic violations,
He started arguing with the police,
Later, they started struggling with each other.
He was overpowered and then handcuffed to the vehicle while standing.
He said they should kill him instead Or run him over with the vehicle and so, he lay down

Be it in Igbo, Yoruba or hausa land no thief is spared when caught by mob. His punishment is jungle justice, he knows the law. I do not in any way support it but I don't totally condemn it. If thief have visited you, then you will understand why jungle justice is the best solution.

Conclusion

Samsung's keyboard cover will no doubt be favoured by physical keyboard diehards. I like how it feels, and how presentable it is when attached to a Galaxy S8 or S8+. However, at least for me personally, the faults it has in practice outweigh any of the positives.

The main issues have already been mentioned, but it also would have been nice to have illuminated keys. There is no way to use this in the dark, or with very low lighting, for example, in bed at night. All Samsung smartphones have AMOLED displays, so I would have expected the keyboard cover to have small holes behind each key, allowing the individual OLED pixels to illuminate through them from below, lighting up the keys.

You could then customise the colours of keys, and have custom layouts that are easy to type and game with. If this were to be a feature, it would most definitely change my mind about the keyboard's potential, and would open itself up to more potential owners.

Given that the Galaxy S8 took a sharp fork in the road in terms of design, I wished that the keyboard cover had followed suit, and gave buyers something new and fresh. Sadly this has not been the case.

It is a solid piece of kit for sure, but skips a few beats in terms of functionality and usability.

The case part of the cover is genuinely excellent all on its own. Not for protection, but for making the phone still feel slim and premium. With regards to protection, simply consider it a case to protect the back from scratches. It offers no screen protection, and will not stop the screen from scratching if placed faced down on a worktop surface.

Usability

After using it for several days, I just can't get on with it for serious typing. I can see the appeal, and the nostalgia of where things began with phones is certainly strong. But as a tool to pile through messaging and posting words on the web, it just doesn't have the speed or power that a software keyboard has.

When attached, the keyboard cover uses the Samsung software keyboard engine for predictions. Even if you use another keyboard, Samsung's keyboard kicks into action. There are no preferences to be changed either.
Even with the keyboard stored on the back, the added thickness does not stop fast wireless charging from working.

The biggest issue I found was that if you swap around the navigation buttons at the bottom of the S8 to be like stock Android, then the keyboard cover switches them back to the Samsung way, and will not revert to your preference once you detach the keyboard. This is a big issue, because it means every time you use it, you must go back and change the navbar button layout back.

Typing fast isn't difficult, but typing accurately as well can be. Because the keyboard uses the Samsung prediction engine, I found it not as useful as Gboard or SwiftKey. I would have liked to have seen an option to choose what prediction engine I would like to use.

Screen rotation is also blocked when the keyboard is attached.

As it stands, I find using a software keyboard far more superior, not to mention a heck of a lot quicker to type out common characters. I must also add that when typing in a web address in a browser, pressing space does not automatically input a .com at the end of an address like BlackBerry keyboards do, a minor inconvenience, but at this price, it's something that should be a standard feature really.

Construction

Plastic is the material of choice for virtually all cases. Samsung opted for a smooth as butter texture on the keyboard cover, and with regular use, I found it to attract some smudges. A more coarse matte texture would have resulted in no smudges on the surface.

Still, the cover and keyboard both feel like quality products, and the keys themselves have good tactile response when pressed. There is less springiness in the key throw compared to a BlackBerry, but it feels decent all the same.

There are no clips or connectors at play with a kit like this. It appears that there are capacitive sensors in the phone that detect when the keyboard is attached. No need to worry about batteries either. It's all a bit magic at first sight.
When the keyboard is not being used, it can be installed on the back of the phone for safe keeping. Of course this means if you place the phone down on sharp surfaces, then the keys will no doubt wear faster.

Storing it this way also raises the height of the bottom of the phone, which isn't ideal if you're glancing at text on a table, as the screen is angled facing away from you.

The fit and finish is quite tight, the keyboard won't fall out, and it requires some force to pull off from either side of the phone.

On one hand, it's a nice throwback to the old school physical keyboard phones, such as the Palm Pixi, and BlackBerry's arsenal of devices. On the other hand, is it really a better typing experience than a good quality software keyboard?

Compared to the keyboard covers on Samsung's previous smartphones, the new one looks more at home on the S8 and S8+, especially the Midnight Black. When attached, they look like they were meant to be together, whereas clashing colour shades and size differences between phone and keyboard meant the cover looked a bit oddly proportioned/styled with the previous models.

Introduction

The original keyboard cover was first introduced with the Galaxy S6 edge+, and then the Note 5 and Galaxy S7 series, we now see its return for the S8 and S8+. The kit does not look much different to the S7 version, and indeed, in practice, it's virtually identical.

When I first read about this, I never knew something like it even existed. A physical keyboard cover was never something I thought I'd want on a modern smartphone, especially with the accuracy and customisation of software keyboards such as the hugely popular SwiftKey, and Google's Gboard.

If you're tired of Messenger Day and seeing games you'll never play, I come to you with good news: there's a much simpler version of Facebook Messenger that strips out all the nonsense.
That version is called Messenger Lite. And it's not exactly a secret. Over 200 million people are using it around the world. And it's available in Nigeria hence a lot of you might know about its existence.

Messenger Lite is a dramatically simplified version of the app that's“faster, uses less data, and works in all network conditions.” Those are Facebook's own words. Who wouldn't want this? Remember what Messenger was like two or three years ago? This is basically that. There are three tabs: Home, Contacts, and Profile.

Facebook has released Messenger Lite in over 100 countries. But it's not available in the US, UK, Mexico, Canada, and many other places. That's because the app isn't really intended for those markets; it was designed to run on cheap, low-end smartphones and work reliably in regions with iffy data connectivity.

In my relatively brief time using it, I've made some notes.

You lose some arguably good stuff, including...
Voice and video calling
App extensions (Spotify, Lyft, etc.)
GIFs
Android: Chat heads
Android: The ability to use Messenger as your SMS / texting app (on Android)

But you get rid of so much bad, such as...

Messenger Day (a clone of Snapchat stories)
Games
Bots. All the bots.
Aggravating “reminders” to sync your contacts and message people
Lag and stuttering (Messenger Lite is fast)
Extra megabytes (Lite takes up less space on your phone)
Probably a lot of other annoying things that I haven't yet come to appreciate

There are no fancy face filters here; there's not even a built-in camera in this version of Messenger. But you can send people stickers and emoji to your heart's content. And although voice calling is missing, you've got the option to send people recorded, voice memo-style snippets. I do miss Chat Heads — an Android-exclusive feature of Messenger that lets a conversation stay on your screen at all times — but I will gladly sacrifice them for this glorious simplicity.

Good evening
I know it's impromptu to make a complaint
here.
I want to report a problem concerning my
phone, I've been charging it hours, it
notifies me of that the phone is charging
but the battery never charge instead it
deducts from the battery
Please what's the cause of this?
Please reply ASAP
#InfinixHotNote

Try another charger, if that does not work, then you have to change your USB port.

Even Jesus said his house shall be a house of prayer and not a house of thieves.

frostland:
pls which can I get for 45 50k

GIONEE F103 PRO...N44,000.. It supports 4G network and the Camera is good that's 13 mega pixels. The only downside is the battery life which is 2400mah but with Marshmallow android version 6.0, which does not consume much battery it should take you for a day before next charge.

GIONEE M5 MINI... N45,000...its supports 3G network and the Camera is also good 8 mega pixels. The battery life is superb 4000mah it runs on lollipop Android version 5.0. The battery can take you two days before next charge.


Now the difference between the two is not much. If you want a phone in terms of battery go for gionee M5 mini, but if you want 4G network and selfie go for gionee f103pro. Please i will advise you buy it from Slot.

paperboy234:
Gionee fan ....try hard ...see ur comment

Yeah you can say that again.

Originality007:
I started to hate infinix product the day my zero2 fone just start to develop fault, I took it to Carlcare only for dem to tell me that is panel problem and told me the material is not available, that I should check back, up till now d material never dey...it was later someone told me that dey will not repair it for me, all dey want me to do is to buy another one...

Even tecno. I bought a brand new tecno p3 and in two Weeks it stops browsing the net. I know it's kind of weird right? I took it back to tecno center but it was a surprise to them also. My warranty was still intact, but to my wildest imagination they were just playing games with me come today, come tomorrow the person that is suppose to collect it have not arrived. That was moment I stopped patronizing tecno product. I simply moved to gionee and I have not Regretted my decision. I buy all my products from slot at least they have a listening ear and their products are genuine.

ZombieTAMER:
If nnamdi kanu was a Yoruba man
No doubt he would have died in prison
Why are you people like this
You have denied your tribesman now korokoro all because he attacks the north for your own betterment

I wonder why these people are like this

Hahaha you seems not to know that they are the only tribe the north can poke in the eye because they are Cowards. The only person given FFk mind is his wife. Whom you know where she is from. Our Women are lioness. You don't mess with their husband's. "Adaigwe"

ademola010:
sharap go and make your research on what Igwe mean and come back here Mr Developer

Ah I see you are just displaying your stupidity. Like I said, come back when you have earned the right to know about the legendary Igbo tribe.

ademola010:
will you keep QUIET thought they are baked you don't have King (Ruler), you have igwe (the sky) which that word is meaningless to monarchy!. Meanwhile don't tell me this poo about your kings being divine. Who doesn't know in this nation that Igbos are segmented?.

Now what would you say about "Oba Of Lagos Humiliates Ooni Of Ife In Lagos In Public". See this Silly and dumb ass yoruba claiming to know about the Legendary Igbo tribe. You don't even know the meaning of "IGWE". Come back when you have earned the right to know about the Igbo. Ademumu010

doctokwus:
Even commonsense shud tell any barely educated person that no traditional ruler under d kind of system Nigeria operates can dare to make such a proclamation bcoz he wud b deposed sharply.
As powerful as d Kano emir was thought to be,ordinary state civil servants are investigating him and trying to gv d state govt d ammunition to depose him,talkless of an Abiriba chief dat knows even a LG caretaker chairman can get him dethroned within a twinkle.

Mind you in Igbo Land, Kings are born, they are not made. That warning should be taking seriously.

I don't think any coup will happen, but I can definitely see a second civil war taking place. Nigerians hate themselves and hate can only give birth to hatred. That will definitely end this fraudulent and corrupt country cos by calculation no nation have survived a second civil war.

Yesterday was the day Google was expected to announce the big new features coming to Android this year. It had already announced some basics back in March , but the I/O conference is usually when we hear about the real highlights — the stuff consumers are actually going to look forward to. But the presentation came and went, and the most exciting thing Android got was app notification badges . Seriously.

Barring any secrets Google is hanging onto, there’s no denying that this is one of the outwardly duller Android releases in recent memory. But the fact that Android O is missing flashy features is in many ways a great thing for users of Google’s products: Google
does have a ton of new features on the way — they’re just built into discrete apps instead of the operating system.

Android O new features:
Interactive “Notification Dots” on app icons for new alerts.
Notification channels, like “news,” can be muted or prioritized.
Smart text selection for copying phone numbers, addresses.
Autofill coming to all apps.
Picture-in-picture video.
Limits to app background activity to preserve battery
Faster startup time for system and apps.
Google Play Protect shows that apps have been scanned for malware.
Developers can ship app icons in multiple shapes.
Modular architecture meant to make updates arrive faster.

If you zoom out from Android and look at the breadth of additions coming to Google’s apps this year, its presentation yesterday becomes far more compelling: there’s a camera that can analyze whatever it's seeing , a photo tool that can remove objects from pictures , the ability to interact with apps and services by voice without ever installing them on your phone .

GOOGLE ISN’T TRYING TO SELL ANDROID, IT’S TRYING TO SELL Google.

Were Google to play the game like Apple, all of these features would be inseparable from its operating system. But for Google, it’s far more important that people are using its apps and services wherever they are — Android, iOS, the desktop, or sitting in their living room. So instead of building these features into a release of Android that will take years to reach a majority of users (the latest release, Nougat, is on just seven percent of Android devices), Google’s biggest upgrades will go out to any device that can receive updates to Google Photos and the Google Assistant . And with Google Assistant now on iOS , that’s a huge number of phones.

This approach also stresses how important Google sees the Assistant becoming. Google is well aware that the Assistant may be the future of Google Search — a core way that people look up information. And the top features Google announced yesterday were about empowering the Assistant to help people look things up: the Google Lens lets the Assistant analyze objects just by pointing a camera at them, like looking up what flower you’re seeing, and new APIs for developers will let the Assistant automatically reach out to third parties to get even more things done.

These features would be exciting as additions to Android O. But they’re a much bigger deal broken off and included inside the Assistant. They build upon the core Google experience, and that’s something even more people will be able to take advantage of.

Google has also put a renewed priority on making sure that Android can run on a wide variety of devices, including on phones with basic specs and limited data access. Building data-hungry features like Lens directly into the operating system would complicate that goal. By separating these features from the OS itself, Google is able to maintain a simpler Android that’ll scale better across the diverse ecosystem of devices it’s hoping to see the operating system on, potentially building a better experience for people using a more-limited phone.

ANDROID O IS FILLED WITH IMPORTANT BEHIND-THE-SCENES CHANGES

At the same time, the focus of this year’s Android release — what Google is calling your phone’s “vitals” — is dry but important positioning for the future. Google says it’s reworked the operating system so that everything runs faster and puts less strain on a device’s battery. In a test yesterday, my colleague saw a Pixel running the Android O beta
boot up more than twice as fast as a Pixel running Nougat.

Perhaps the largest change to O is one we won’t even experience until the following release of Android: Google claims it’s going to be much easier for phone makers like Samsung and HTC to ship future Android updates to their customers. That’s one we’re really going to have to wait to see the results on — it can sometimes feel like there’s been an eternal promise to fix the issue of slow Android updates — but if Google makes a difference this time, that’d be one of the most impactful changes it could bring to Android.

This shifting focus to apps isn’t unique to Google, either. Apple largely had the same approach with iOS 10 last year — the only difference is that Apple’s apps are intrinsic to its operating system. Just look at the list of updates: an overhaul to Messages, new sorting features in Photos, third-party integrations with Siri. These are the same areas of focus, they’re just only available in one place.

The pace of operating system refinements is necessarily slowing now that Apple and Google have taken care of the basics. That doesn’t absolve them from finding new places to iterate and improve upon their platforms, but it does mean that the way we interact with their operating systems is bound to see fewer changes year to year. As Google’s showing, that can be completely fine: it’s able to have an even bigger impact on the way our phones are used by delivering some app updates instead.

The file is corrupt. First make sure you did not root your device. Second check if you have enough input storage. Third use a good network provider that's fast in your area to download the update.

You deserve flogging. How can you dumb a Samsung for tecno.

You haven't experienced these police men in action. I was eating gala and mineral after a hard day carrying 180 head pans of sand. These men in black stopped and came and search me they did not find anything on me, suddenly they said am a suspect and I asked suspect for what?!. What I received was a punch to my left eye. My eye swollen and red. I was bundled into their van and taken to the station. I was locked up without a statement. it took the intervention of the engineer whom I worked for and an SAN who owns the house we were building to get me out. I was accused of robbery. what was my offence? gala and mineral which I was eating. I treated myself. for three weeks I can't look at light. I still wish everyone of them death.

What can I say. well they deserve it. when you are almost killed by police or wrongly accused by them you will pray they all die one by one.....smh

Many amateur politician make mistake in Government. They play for deception, or the win of hypocrisy, or even the creation of lawlessness. But many of these amateur politicians fails to recognise the importance of truth. Fairness is just as important as being tolerance, or building bridges not walls, or getting a lead in development....BENJAMIN IBE (2016)
