I know God will punish Glo abundantly!

Can you imagine buying 1.5GB data and having only 30K average speed on a good day on HSPDA+?

Later they will tell us to patronize home made goods, when they only know how to spend on Wizkid and co, instead of working on their quality.

I doubt Adenuga is aware though that his company is almost being ran aground data wise, after all he's not an engineer.

Thrash!

You are absolutely right. Mine cant go more than 15K average speed in HSPDA+. I believe glo line belongs to the trash.

1.APPS
Android os has x10 more apps unlike windows
phone that has few apps. Even the apps they have
are of low quality.. E.g windows phone bbm just
got bbm channels,something that has been
available for a while...
2. DESIGN
All windows phone users have to stick with lumia
phones.... Which uses poor processors i.e most
low end windows phone use snapdragon 200....
Although windows phone os is light and doesent
task the system, what about gaming... U will hardly
see a windows phone user playing fifa 15 because
their phone specs is not up to it, even asphalt 8
that ive seen d quality of the graphics is very low
compared to android and iphone counterparts...
3.CHARGING PROBLEM
You cant switch off your phone and charge it. The
phone automatically boots itself...
4. POOR QUALITY OF STOCK APPS
The apps that are bundled with windows phone
currently sucks e.g internet explorer.. Even the
music apps lags if u have too many songs...
5.THE OPERATING SYSTEM
I used to think that iphones where wack. But at
least they have jailbreak... windows phone has
nothing... You can check the windows phone page
on xda developers it is dead...
6.OS updates..
Windows 10 is coming and microsoft has said that
not all features on windows 10 will be available to
low end phones... But on android flashing a custom
rom is the solution. Even stock android phones like
nexus 4(2013) are still getting the latest version of
android
7. BATTERY LIFE
All android phones comes with advanced power
saving modes e.g samsung ultra power saving
mode.. Although windows phone doesent consume
much battery. Android is still better because they
have softwares like du battery saver n co that will
increase your battery life

That's some of the main reason windows is some how better. For example can you play fifa14 very well on Gionee p2. that's a big NO!!. But you are allowed to download it from play store. And fifa 15 is about 1.2GB. Thats 1.2GB of data wasted. I don't get it why you are allowed to download apps that are not compatible with your android device.

When you talk of Bbm on windows. You talk of when it was published and stages of development, just like it was on android. e.g iphone first got a well polished Bbm application before android just like android is getting it before windows.

Charging problem: There is notting like the word charging problem in windows phone because
Windows phone devices will switch on and then go to their 'sleep' or lockscreen mode while charging.

OS updates: that is where android devices are very poor. i cant still believe no tecno device have gotten an OS update. only nexus devices or some few oem give updates to their old devices. Mean while low end lumia 520 a 2013 smartphone have gotten every major updates from Microsoft.

Half of applications in Google play store are full of ads and most applications in playstore are useless and are to buggy.

windows phone don't need xda developers...they have windows central.

Operating system have Developer unlocked which in android terms is called Rooting.

Windows phone have inbuilt battery saver. while battery savers in android are never enough to increase battery life, you still need to reduce brightness and off eventually everything.

asuustrike2009:
Add to it, windows consumes data more than android

What are you talking?!! Look am an android user but lets be truthful OK. We look for tweak or Data cheats because all smart phones consume data. in sincerity android consume data than Windows phone that's one of the main reasons we turn off applications or uninstall applications we don't need. i bet ur auto synchronisation is off.

asuustrike2009:
For battery aspect, you lied because android has variety of phones that has up to 6 days long last batteries.

Are you saying Android is now Nokia touch?!! You have to differentiate between a smartphone and a feature phone. Even without using your android the battery depreciates. Android is a power hungry operating system no amount of battery life is ever enough for it. list out an android phone that last up to six days or are you excluding usage.

Ay04z:
good point...pls tell me wat a window phone can d better Dan a android device.

1. Quality Build Phones With Exceptional Design For Everyone
The biggest ammo to join the arsenal of Windows phones has to be Nokia’s partnership. With phones ranging from $180 to $425, sporting screen sizes from 4″ to 6″, Nokia has plenty of choices not just for the budget-conscious but also those are looking for a powerful, sleek phone, for instance like Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 megapixel camera sensor and Full HD video. You definitely can get good value for your money if you just keep your eyes open for a good alternative phone, rather than stop looking once it isn’t on a “popular” OS.

2. Gorgeous Apps
Although the Windows App Store lags behind the Play Store in terms of quantity, what counts with apps is the quality and so far Windows phones
have the basic necessities covered . Windows Phone is not an open source platform and Microsoft has a stricter criteria set than Google about which apps and games can populate their respective marketplaces.
As a result, the app store responds with
superior and better apps, and cleaner options, than what Android apps can offer. They are consistent, gorgeous, minimalistic and in many cases, look better than they do on Android. I’d suggest you take a look at 6tag (3rd party app for Instagram), Spotify, Skype, and Facebook.

3. Seamless Email And Social Media Integration
Windows Phone with its mission to build an end-to-end product experience for its customers, has a soild built-in social media integrated hub that they use; it’s very smooth and fluid. The People Hub gets updates from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Rather than opening individual apps one by one, all your friends’ status updates and notifications can be viewed within the People Hub.
Facebook integration on Windows Phone also makes it better than Android when it comes to tagging pictures. It also allows you to use your phone contacts as tags. You can switch between Facebook chat and normal text messaging with your contacts on Windows Phone.

4. Microsoft Integration and Support
Those who are used to Microsoft’s service and software would be glad to know Windows Phone works well with Microsoft products like Outlook.com. OneDrive Skype, Xbox, and OneNote. Unlike Android, Windows Phone comes with free Office in the OS itself. The mobile version is handy for on-the-go professionals. You can view and edit, Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents straight on your Windows Phone. It also integrates with OneDrive and users can save their compatible files on Microsoft’s cloud storage service .

5. Consistency Across All Devices
Android comes in so many shapes and sizes, so performance and quality are always a question. Windows Phone however works well on all levels of devices from the entry-level Lumia 520 to the high-end Lumia 1020 without any noticeable lag whatsoever. The minimalist design approach is applied at all Nokia’s Lumia range of devices and known for best build quality.

6. Customizations on Lockscreen
Windows Phone allows you to check out your notifications from your lockscreen. Not only you can change Background pictures in Lock screen settings, but Windows Phones also allow the integration of live apps on the lockscreen. Some of the better app integrations are Bing and Facebook. Bing displays the Bing Picture of the Day while Facebook displays photos from your albums.
You can also choose from photos of yourself or create a selection of photos to be shown on your lockscreen. Another cool thing that you could do is to configure the lock screen to display artist information when playing music .

7. Play your XBox games on Windows Phone
If you own an XBox, Windows Phone has the perfect XBox integration to help you get the most out of your games, even on low-RAM devices. Microsoft has worked hard to integrate Xbox functionality , meaning you can work with your console avatar to gain points, check your Gamerscore, message your friends and see your avatar.
Despite Android having more games, Windows Phones get Xbox games such as Asphalt 8: Airborne, Jetpack Joyride, Six Guns and FIFA 14 for free. All of the games run smoothly; even on the low end Nokia Lumia Phones, playing games is a breeze.

8. Versatility of Live Tiles
Windows Phones allow users to pin whatever they want and how they want. Instead of widgets, each app on your home screen acts as a Live Tile. They give you a quick glimpse of what’s going on in each individual app. We can see the time and weather via the weather tile and notifications from Twitter, WhatsApp, SMS and email all from the main screen.
Widgets on Android are their own
separate entities and their customized looks as designed by their developers. These designs thus can hardly mesh together aesthetically, especially without any form of standardization. Tiles, on the other hand, blend in and complement the overall aesthetic perfectly and they also change dynamically.

9. Offline Maps Integration
Windows Phone have HERE Maps and HERE Drive integrated to its Lumia range, basically Nokia’s alternative to Android’s Google Maps. It comes with full offline capabilities. Some Android smartphones such as Galaxy S4 also has offline navigation in Google Maps, but while Google Maps only allows you to download small areas of offline maps, you can download maps of countries with the Nokia Lumia Phones and navigate across the country without a data connection while driving.

10. Ever Expandable Storage
Most Windows Phone, even the entry level ones have 8GB of internal storage and supports a microSD card of up to 64 GB. The free 7 GB cloud storage from Onedrive makes it even better. This reduces the need to fall back on third-party online storage solutions, which may come with compatibility issues. OneDrive lets you backup content to the cloud, Windows tablets, PCs, and of course the Windows Phone.

Conclusion
While Android offers greater app flexibility, Windows Phone offers great potential, better integration over more platforms and fluidity . With the changing smartphone market, the world needs a solid platform that has quality and the potential to develop into a full range solution, that spans across mobile, desktop and the cloud. The strategies are already in place, and if Nokia and Windows Phone can weather the storm, they may one day be able to unseat Android from its iron grip of the smartphone OS market.

I have one question!! just one question!!
Senator Bruce lia Mohammed. How come Northerners children beg food?

Ay04z:
tecno l5 ...5000mah..don't say wat u don't know......android is by far better Dan windows phone...am using d two presently but android rocks..in term of cheats,playstore app and d operating system Is much easier...

Please learn how to read before commenting. There is no place i wrote which operating system is better but rather i tried to give a simple explanation to the op question which is "which one is better for student". From the way you jumped without reading simply means you are lying when you said you use the two OS. Yes the tecno L5 battery is good but that is because the Tecno L5 have a mediocre performance. lumia 520 a 2013 Windows phone performs better than tecno L5. I rather have a phone with 2000mah battery with well optimized OS than have a phone with poor performance and poor Camera with no OTA update. Mind you i am using android and if you have truly used windows phone you will know the only down side of windows phone is applications. Just imaging using 4000mah or 5000mah battery in windows phone.

pointblank247:
which of them is better for students ?

They are both great for student. with android you can get any application you want in terms of studies but you may not have good battery life. Windows phone only have a few application but it have great battery life.

What is wrong with Nigerians and buying of phones. I think Government should find a way for phone users to be paying tax.

What kind of nonsense vigil is that...Cant she pray at home for @least an hour or two, must the prayer come from the pastor to cast out sudden death. Some women self. A woman that left her house for two days to be in a church she goes from Monday to Sunday is not a wife material and the husband did the necessary thing by sacking her. She can't respect her husband but look upon her fake pastor like a mini god.

MrMcJay:
Stay there. Those trucks carrying tomatoes into the SE are from Nnewi abi?

Haha...so if you are doing buying and selling does that mean you are feeding those who are buying goods from you. please look for the meaning of feeding/business in your dictionary. Mind you yams...garri...vegetables...tomatoes ..rice...palm oil...cows and goat are all planted, harvested and breed in south east and not all you see are from the north...or have you not heard of abakaliki yam, ewu/efi igbo or even garri ndi ngwa and many more.

MrMcJay:
See the ignorant twerp. More Biafrans have been killed in Aba than all the 5 Eastern states combined.

You want Biafra yet you can't feed yourselves. You still get food from the North and you want to fight them. If they don't feed you now, you shout starvation and genocide.

The day I start taking these Ipob clowns serious is when Ekweremadu, Iwuanyanwu, Coscharis, Obiano and Orji Uzor Kalu support it.

What is this one saying. How can hausa who are beggars and their children littered every were in this country be feeding igbos. it looks like you were born from the belle of lia Mohammed.

greenpasture:
I avoid commenting on political issues as I have zero interest I them. However on issues that pertain to the law I will make a contribution. I personally cannot understand why anyone would file a stay of proceedings at this stage for two reasons; firstly if your client is on administrative bail, delay tactics may make some sense, where however your client is in jail, it makes no sense whatsoever to delay the hearing of the substantive suit unless you believe that the prosecution has an iron clad case or you want to buy time to re strategize ( hopefully not tamper with witnesses)

Under the Criminal justice Act the superior court will ask the motion to be heard in tandem with the substantive suit so the issue of delay will not arise ( if this is the strategy). I believe the lawyer to Kanu has made a serious misjudgment here that the prosecution have seized upon to delay the case - it doesn't hurt them to delay the case because the accused is in effect " doing time" through the back door. A better strategy for the defence would have been to allow the case continue and complete and then use the grounds on which the stay application was made to overturn the ruling of the High Court on appeal.

That is why you are still a learner. The person handling this matter is Chuks Muoma (SAN), he hardly loss a case. If you have been following this matter very well you will understand that they have filed a motion for stay of proceedings, which means that Justice John Tsoho will not be presiding over this very case again, owing to his compromising stance and previous rulings. That's a knockout blow (KO). If you call that a delay tactics then sorry for you because if you were a lawyer you still have a long way to make it to the level of an (SAN), by the way we have the names of those that DSS wants to pay to become masquerades in this case. any news and media outlets can contact my email address on giftedben2014@hotmail.com

olihilistic:
too bad but Cr7 naHim be baba

Guy you want make that man stab you too

BermudaTriangle:
Go siddon somewhere with your endless chest-beating.
Nobody dares touch Kanu if he came to Nigeria or there'll be war. He came, got caged and nothing.
Then it turned to 'its a trap for Buhari'. Many countries that support Nnamdi will descend on Nigeria, yet nothing.
The chest-beating will continue till the man is given life sentence.

Do you know what is called a trap. look at the way you and ur government are disgracing yourself in court. I thought by now you would have killed him. You want to give him life sentence in ur parlour . haha!! is that the worst the government can do. You are just an idiot.

This is wrong in so many ways. Why will someone who wants to testify against Kanu be shielded from the eyes of the accused. It is now i believe this country are full of hypocrites. A shield box that will cover their face so that the accused may not see them. Ok i hope they will call out their names. Dss could bring lia Mohammed to testify or even a Dss officer could even testify. this country is very fragile. Don't deny someone his right to freedom. I know the Igbo's very well they can never beat the drum of war if they are not prepared. Why do you put a lion in a cage yet he is not complaining but willing to take the warrant of the law. That is because he is planning big. Be warned.

He has finally played into the hands of isis. We should have fought it like it was just some kind of misunderstanding from the north. Now he has given Nigeria global attention for isis to strike. The country is Doomed because isis is more strategic. Any bomb throw to south-east, South-south, South-west then Nigeria will shelter like a piece of glass. This will result to tribal war.

RIP.
You must learn the rules of driven before taking risk on high way. Like the OP said if truly their was a " tire burst" then i think the driver applied the breaks. You don't do!! Am talking out of experience because i have been involved in two accident that could have cost my life if it wasn't for the expertise of our driver. For example when we had a tire burst in the center of the high way we slowly slowly came to a halt. Never did we apply the breaks. On another journey our driver after changing a bad tire forgot to tighten the screws properly then the worst happened while on top speed the tire rolled out of the the car, with the women shouting Jesus!! Jesus!! The driver never applied the breaks. we slowly came to a halt without any body getting seriously hurt. lesson from this is to always screen ur driver's properly before employing them and never apply break when you have a tire burst or a rolled out tire.

what kind of instruction Menu. can you write it down. is it showing any robot facing down. did you root the phone.

Girls self. if na to sharp mouth na them carry first. scary thou.

aAK1:
if I get you correctly, that means I copy the folder containing scatter and recovery file eg, INFINIX X506 (16GB) STOCK ROM
X506-J608-16G-20150408 on memory card?

1. make sure you downloaded that particular stock rom with the build number you saw in recovery mode.
2. When you download the stock rom.
3. There is a particular file called update.zip or update.
4. Do not unzip or extract that file called update or update.zip
5. Just transfer the file called update.zip or update to the formated SD card.
6. Now put the SD card back in your phone and boot into recovery mode. You will see SD update select it. Select update.zip file you store in ur SD card. The robot should start working.

Note if you have extracted or unzip the update.zip file it means you have to download it again.

If you dont want to follow this procedure. try this step. if infinix supports it.

1. After you have transfered the update.zip file in your SD card and slotted the SD card back into ur phone.

2. press vol+ and Vol- and power button at the same time. hold them until the robot start working.

aAK1:
I appreciate your effort thanks but as it is I can't know the one that was originally there as I have flashed it with some other once that made the screen stop responding.the build I will see in recovery mode is the last flashed rom.

it could be that the one you downloaded is corrupt. find a memory card that is formatted. try coping the stock rom to the memory card. if you succeed coping it to the memory card it means it is not corrupt then put the memory card back into your phone and boot into recovery mode and do sd upgrade.

aAK1:
i couldn't befor but now I can after flashing with stock roms I found online but as I speak,my touch screen stopped responding after flashing. That's why I really need the follow come firmware

ok boot into recovery mode
you will see recover with the build number writing @ the top.
copy that number down and google infinix stock rom with the build number.

like for example
INFINIX X506 (16GB) STOCK ROM
X506-J608-16G-20150408
^

that is the build number.

aAK1:
haa am i the only one using a zero?

can you boot into recovery mode

I can easily help you.

First people thought MTN steals the top spot as the worst network provider but they will actually be surprised were MTN is ranked. Lets find out which network provider have won the heart of the public and which of them have failed to perform.

Power Ranking.

1. ETISALAT: The 0809ja network provider have the best and reliable Network in terms of voice call and data speed. They are quiet expensive, they have one of the best customer service. Bet your money anytime on them and they will deliver.
2. MTN: Yello" anywhere you go. Yes they are everywhere even in Your toilet, kitchen and bed room. You don't have to look for them. MTN is as old as our first GSM. As the saying Goes "you can't teach an old dog a new trick". They have the best call tariff and data friendly plan. They hardly disappoint, if not for the unauthorized spam messages and subscriptions they would have made first position in my list. It is good to see i can still count on the professionalism of their customer service.

3. Airtel: Airtel Africa, they are always listening in terms of provision of cheap data subscriptions and good call rate. But i will give them a no no in customer service, they really need to improve on their customer service. I believe they should grow up and make things easy for customers. e.g to resubscribe to the Night and weekend plan download for 180/hour takes alot of time.

4. Glo: rule your world. when it comes to the cheapest data subscriptions you can trust Glo. And you know what Cheapness can bring into your life " stress and headache" You can never rule your world with this network. it is so bad that it can shut down for complete 3days without you making any call or browsing. They have the worst customer service, Sometimes their customer service will be sleeping when listening to your pleas. sorry to say but they have not leaved up to expectations. I Guess they are still following the Nigerian time. For me they are ranked last.

I can teach you an old trick. but my problem is if it will work with infinix.

Can you boot into recovery mode

I can't believe the police are powerless in this situation. I mean why aren't they arresting the kidnapper and the village head. The Hausa man is a kidnapper that specialized in kidnapping minors. This is a very big problem. Nigeria is never one if this Hausa man is allowed to walk free. My fellow naira lander's we can't allow the parents to face this problem alone. it might happen to any of our siblings. Let's make this news get international recognition. #FreeEse
