It started at the Headies when Reekado Banks received the next rated award which "according to Olamide' Lil Kesh was more deserving.

After all the noise and tongue lashings, the two CEO's posted a pic on instagram saying that the dispute was over.

We all know about the back and forth tug of war between MTN NG and the NCC, if you don't know about that, check out these posts;

MTN Nigeria Fined 1 Trillion Naira For Being 'Caring'

MTN Drags NCC To Court Over 1.04 Trillion Naira Fine

I guess you're up to date with the issue on ground.

Now, to the topic of today.

N1.04 trillion is obviously a huge amount of money, makes you wonder where they(MTN) plan to raise it from.
Today, I tried to borrow airtime from MTN on my phone and what I saw left me shocked!!!!
According to the reply I got, I had an outstanding debt of N10,000 (abeg, which time I borrow that one?)

While still in shock, it finally hit me "Is this how MTN NG plans to pay up their enormous debt?
Have you noticed anything like this, don't hesitate to share your experience with us.

Not every-time tweaking and mobile tech talks, today's post is 'mainly' targeted at the ladies(do we have females here?)
You know that moment when your baby starts crying furiously and you have no idea why she is crying, it can be frustrating.
You try feeding her but that doesn't seem to stop her, try putting her to bed and no luck either!
According to Reuters, Taiwanese researchers have developed an app that can differentiate different baby crying sounds.

The 'baby cry translator' was developed at the National Taiwan University Hospital and it can differentiate four separate baby crying sounds by recording the sound of the baby's cry and comparing it against the database.

The researchers collected around 200,000 crying sounds from approximately 100 new borns and saved it in an online database. Analysis of these individual cries made it possible for the developers to differentiate them into four - Hunger, Sleepy, Pain or wet diaper.
Researchers say that the app is 92% accurate for babies below two weeks old and its accuracy reduces as the baby gets older.
After downloading the app, you only need to set the date and nationality of the baby, once the baby starts crying you press the record button for about ten seconds then the sound would be uploaded onto the online database then after an analysis, you'll receive a notification telling you why your baby is crying.

According to a forty-one year old new father,
For the new parent like us, we are most afraid of seeing the baby crying and then not knowing what we should do. When we don't know what we should do, this app can make some simple judgments for us, so we are able to know what our next step is.

The app is available on the apple store and google playstore at a price of $2.99

Best Of Samsung Photography

After seeing the pictures taken with the iPhone camera above, I'm sure you might thinking 'there's nothing better than the iPhone's camera. However, I urge you to wait and see what samsung has in store.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqBKLELZYC8

The above video was taken EXCLUSIVELY by a Samsung S6 Edge. However, it was shot by a professional director so there are lights, scenery and a touch of experience while taking it and also editings and a few touches here and there after.

If after reading this and seeing the pictures and video above you still use your phone's camera for just taking selfies then you have to think again before putting those amazing cameras to waste.

Now, you be the judge which has a better camera, Iphone or Samsung S6 Edge?

Even though there has been a lot of devices with amazing cameras that are just out of this world, two of these major devices have always been regarded as being the best of them all. These are Samsung annual Flagships And IPhones.
Over the years, there has always been competition between these two major mobile brands and today, I will be comparing their cameras.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be taking photos of things with both phones, all I will be doing is this; I will the best iPhone photography and I will also get the best that Samsung cameras has to offer and put them against each other.

Best Of iPhone Photography

The iPhone camera is one of its major selling points. When you see some photos taken with an iPhone, you have no choice but to marvel at how 'neat' and amazing they come out. According to a post by MissTechy, over 800 engineers work on the iPhone's camera so basically, there is no reason why the iphone camera shouldn't be awesome.

Earlier this year, the winners of the annual IPhone Photography award were announced and as is with every competition, there were some 'not-so-good' photos and some of the entries were so awesome, they left me in awe!

Men made you happy??

It's no news that the popularity and number of Xiaomi users in Nigeria is steadily increasing by the day this is due to the durability and 'somewhat' affordability of their devices.
Initially, you had to buy them from foreign online stores like Gearbeat but last month, when Xiaomi was officially launched in Nigeria.
Xiaomi users can start celebrating as the company has announced that some of their devices would be receiving Android 6.0 Marshmallow update soon.

Source [url="http://www.naijatechs.com/2015/12/android-marshmallow-60-update-coming-to.html"]Naijatechs.com[/url]

Most Xiaomi devices currently run on MiUi 7 which is based on Android Lollipop features. A screen shot on gizmochina suggests that the new android marshmallow for Xiaomi devices will 'weigh' 518MB.

According to the MIUI operations manager, the Android Marshmallow for Xiaomi devices is in its beta stage after which it will be released to users via OTA.

Xiaomi Mi 4 launched in 2014 running on Android 4.4 Kitkat, it was later updated to Android 5.1 Lollipop which has a colourful interface and better performance and battery saving options in October 2015.

There is currently no list of the Xiaomi devices that will run android marshmallow but according to Indian Express, Xiaomi Mi 4, Xiaomi Mi 3 and Xiaomi Mi Note will be among the first Xiaomi devices to receive Marshmallow updates.

Months ago, NCC imposed a huge $5.2 billion fine on MTN for failing to disconnect 5.1 million unregistered SIMs. The fine was later cut down by 25% to $3.9 billion and a deadline of 31st of December was set for the payment of the imposed fine.
However, the South Africa-based Telecom giant has filed a lawsuit challenging the fine imposed the NCC saying they want the court to dismiss the outrageous fine.

Naijatechs.com

In its defense, MTN has a team of elite lawyers which includes - Dr. Gbolahan Elias, A.B Mahmoud, Chief Wole Olanipekun, Tanimola Molajo, Oladipo Okpeseyi, Dr. Oladapo Olanipekun, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu - All of whom are all Senior Advocates (SAN).
Also named as a defendant in the case is the Attorney General Of The Federation (AGF) and Minister Of Justice.

MTN believes that since the NCC is just a regulatory body, it can't assume the powers of the state, especially since it made the regulation, laid down the penalty and also imposed the fined which is to be paid to the commission and NOT the Federal Government.

The company also stated that a deadline of seven days to disconnect over 5.2 million Sim cards was inadequate and impossible to do.

Finally, the company accused the NCC of acting as the legislator, Executor, prosecutor, Accuser, Judge and Beneficiary of the fine imposed on it.
It also stated that the fine of N200,000 for each Sim that wasn't disconnected was simply outrageous and excessive.

Gbagaun!!
Endtime beauty..

Personally, I think there is no better form of android compared to stock android. Stock android is android in its purest form exactly the way google made it without any 'noticeable' additions just as seen on the infinix hot 2.

Android is a free open-source software and as such allows phone manufacturers to make adjustments to their devices and this results in custom UI which are seen in a lot devices today such as TouchWiz for Samsung devices, XUI for infinix, Sony Xperia's UI and many others.
For some people, these forms of android may seem like a lesser version of android.
If your android device runs a custom OS and you would like to experience a purer version, follow the steps below;

For our experiment, I'll be using the infinix hot note and making changes to it to make it appear stock.

For more tips, head on to [url=Naijatechs]NAIJATECHS.COM[/url]

For The Stock Android Look

This is the most important part of the custom-stock change.
For this, head on to google playstore and install google now launcher. This changes your home screen and app drawer which are the main part of the switch.
When you first install the app, you'll be asked if you want to make the app your default launcher.
Select Google now and choose Always and your phone should now look like stock android.

For Extra Nexus Feel

Most times, android makers include their own camera app so if you would also like to get the stock android camera for your device click here to install it from google playstore. However, you can't replace your default camera with google camera .

Phone And Contacts

You can also head to playstore and install Google dailer app and Google Contacts app.
This isn't really necessary but if you really want to nail the stock Android look I suggest you do it.
The only problem here is that the updated versions of these app only work on Android phones running Android Marshmallow which are very rare. However, if you run android Marshmallow on your device, I really suggest you get these apps.

Finishing Touch

The last thing that's left of your stock android transformation is WALLPAPERS!!!
For that, there are a couple of Marshmallow wallpapers click here to download. It's a zipped file so you have to unzip it with an application like Winzip

Few months back, there were rumors that Oukitel was making an android device that has a massive 10000mah battery that was supposedly lasts 15 Days under normal usage.

You would agree with me that the battery of a mobile phone is one of the major features it has, a poor battery life can tarnish a nice phone with amazing Specs.

Source - Naijatechs.com

Currently, when you think of phones with really large battery, we think of the Infinix Hot Note, Hot Note pro and the new Infinix Note2 which all have 4000mah and also the Gionee Marathon M5 which has an unbelievable 6,250mah but when compared to the oukitel k10000 the battery life of these phones seem really poor.

All these battery juice would be a waste if it doesn't support OTG which it does.
With OTG you can charge other phones with the Oukitel K10000's massive 10000mah battery. According to the maker, the Oukitel K10000 can charge the iPhone 6S fully three times.
This makes it more of a power bank than a smartphone.
With the large battery size of this device, you would expect that it would take forever to charge however, the maker says it takes just three hours thirty minutes to fully charge the Oukitel K10000.

The device has 5.5 inch with a screen resolution of 720 x 1280, it has an RAM size of 2GB and an 8MP back camera and a 2MP front camera with an MTK6735 quadcore processor . Looking beyond the battery size of the Oukitel K10000 every other thing seem to be on average.

The device is currently available for sale on Gearbest for $239.99.

Amazon which is one of the largest online stores in the world has begun pulling out Hoverboards from their stock due to fears of fire caused by the self balancing scooters a.k.a hoverboards.

Some of the hoverboards available on the online store have now disappeared and the site now warns that for the time being, they are not recommending any hoverboards until they are proven to be safe.

Source - Naijatechs.com

According to a hoverboard seller, swagway, the online store(Amazon) required that hoverboard manufacturers provide documents showing that their hoverboards "are compliant to applicable safely standards" with additional emphasis to the batteries and chargers.

The gadgets which are one of the most hyped and 'must-have' gadgets of the year have been wrecking havoc in a lot of cities lately.
Last week, a hoverboard exploded at a mall in Washington, USA. Although no one was hurt, the incident made major headlines worldwide.
A woman claimed that a hoverboard explosion destroyed her home.
A man in Alabama also said his hoverboard caught on fire while he was riding it.

Currently, hoverboards are banned in a lot of cities around the world even popular Rapper Wiz Khalifa was arrested for riding a hoverboard.

I guess I'll just forget about buying a hoverboard and just get an 'Okada' instead... Lol

bigass123:
Did you notice the battery capacity?
Where can I see this phone?

Weird... Nothing was said about the battery... I'll check for you tho

The Infinix Note2 is without doubt one of the most anticipated devices of this year. It was officially launched last month but up till now it has not really been available for sale.

I was recently going through gearbest with no intent of buying anything anything, just window shopping then I saw a phone 'LeTv One X600' and I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between the two devices.

The devices looked so alike that I had to check the specs of the LeTv One x600 to make sure that it wasn't the Infinix Note2 x600 because it even had the same model name 'X600'.

Letv One x600 Specs
Display: 5.5 inch IPS FHD Screen
CPU: MTK helio X10 64bit Octa Core 2.0GHz
GPU: Imagination PowerVR G6200
System: Android 5.0
RAM + ROM: 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM
Camera: 5.0MP + 90° wide-angle camera, 13.0MP AF face beauty with true flash light camera
Bluetooth: 4.0
GPS: GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS
Features: Gyroscope,Infrared Remote Control, Electronic Compass
Sensor: Light sensor, G-sensor, P-sensor, Hall Sensor, Proximity sensor
SIM Card: Dual SIM dual standby, MICRO SIM
Network:
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

After seeing the specs of the LeTv One x600 it's obvious that it is an entirely different phone so that means there was a copy in design and name, so who did the copying? Infinix or Letv?

A new and faster method of delivery data where visible spectrum(light) is used instead regular radio waves used in Wi-Fi has been tested.

Li-Fi stands for light fidelity and can reach speeds of up to 1Gbps(one gigabit per second).
It requires a light source(such as a regular LED bulb), internet connection and a photo detector.
Li-Fi was tested last week by a company named velmenni, they used Li-Fi enabled LED lamps to transmit data at a speed of 1Gbps, laboratory tests showed speeds of up to 224Gbps.

It was tested in an office to allow workers access the internet and in an industrial space where it provided lighting solutions.

Chief Executive Deepak Solanki said the technology could reach consumers within three to four years.

The term 'Li-Fi' was coined by Prof. Harald Haas from Edinburg University, he demonstrated the technology at a T.E.D(Technology,Entertainment and Design) conference in 2011.

One of the main advantage of the new Li-Fi over Wi-Fi is the fact that it uses visible spectrum(light) instead of radio waves and as such can not interfere with radio signals and so it can be used on an aircraft and other place where radio waves are restricted such as a gas station.

Li-Fi delivers faster data than Wi-Fi but just like Wi-Fi, it depends on the initial potential speed being delivered, for example if your home internet service is capped at 1Gbps(gigabit per second), the Li-Fi system won't go any faster than that.

Li-Fi also depends on your device being within range of the light being transmitted, so you need to see the light to get the data.

The Li-Fi system requires that you be under the ray of light being emitted.

NOTE: The Li-Fi system is not looking to take over the internet transmission technologies already available(it is not taking our precious Wi-Fi away from us) but it is just looking to be a good addition to the ones already available.

JUSTbuchi:
which phone did u take that pic on your wall with?

An Infinix hot note

koice:
Believe it or not, Nigerians are fools. This device will sell like hotcake, just watch.

yeaa you're right
the screen resolution is really bad..
720 x 1290 would result in a low ppi

The infinix zero has a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 and its just a 5" device, imagine what it would look like on a 6" device

JUSTbuchi:
Font camera is just 2MP

you guys should know, pixel size of a phone's camera does is not a way to judge the picture quality...
you should check how many megapixels iphones have yet they shoot amazing pictures....


Samm is the name

According to a survey conducted by me, this year's black friday was the biggest and most anticipated in the history of Nigerian black fridays.

One of the reasons being because more people knew about it and prepared for it.
Even though this was the biggest black friday sale in Nigeria, a lot of people were left disappointed.

It all started with Jumia's black friday flash sale for the infinix hot 2 which was obviously the most anticipated of all deals.
The flash sale started by 12 am yesterday morning, about ten minutes before the sale began I was on jumia just going through, trying to keep an eye and see how it was going to go down. It was peaceful and smooth until the clock hit 12, then the worst happened. None of the jumia pages was loading, then I tried using the mobile app and had no luck either, I believed it was an error in my network connection so I tried loading a different website on another tab and it went loaded smoothly.
It got to a point when I got an error message whenever I tried loading the Jumia website telling me to check the spelling and try again.

I headed to konga and I could barely notice any difference in price, it was almost as if nothing was going on.
The only price slashes I saw were mostly fashion products.

This was my black friday experience, how was yours?

Truth be told, black Friday in Nigeria isn't really big.. But, a few stores still keep it real and offer amazing discounts on black Friday, in today's post I'd be listing Black Friday Deals that you should DEFINITELY look out for in Nigeria.


Jumia Black Friday Sale

Jumia has managed to make a name for its self in online shopping since entering the market in 2012.

In their second year(2013), they introduced Black Friday to Nigerians though it wasn't much of a success because Nigerians were new to both Online Shopping and Black Friday.
In 2014, They staged another Black Friday sale and this time, it was a massive success.
They traffic to the Jumia website was so much that it crashed at a point(guess that's why they introduced the Jumia app). Also, they made a record of over 30,000 people on the site at every minute of that day.

This year won't be any different, if anything it's going to be bigger!
Most of the Black Friday deals are going to be flash sales meaning they'd be in limited stock so you're going to have to be really fast if you want to participate.

An announcement is usually made before the deals start. To stand a better chance if winning, I'd advice you be on Jumia 5-10mins before the deals start so that when they start you would be ready to grab em.

KONGA BLACK FRIDAY DEALS a.k.a FALL YAKATA SALES

Konga is one of the top Online malls in Nigeria and they aren't left out of the Black Friday sale.
Their black Friday sales is always tagged as 'Fall yakata'. Fall yakata means 'fall to pieces' in pidgin English.

Just as the name suggests, during this period all prices would 'fall to pieces'.
The 'yakata' sales would hold from November 26-27 and during this period Konga promises to deliver the best prices across products.
Most of the deals would be available on flash sales so you going to have to be really fast to grab them.

YUDALA BLACK FRIDAY SALE

In the field of online shopping, Yudala is somewhat of a 'new kid on the block' when compared to jumia and Konga, based on the fact the some people still don't know it but i assure you they are planning something BIG come black friday.
On Nov 27th(black friday) you would get a rare opportunity to shop both online and offline onyudala at really discounted prices.

With Christmas just around the corner, yudala promises to bring perfect prices across products which is perfect for an early christmas shopping.

The fuchsia thursday(nov 26th) would welcome us into the shopping festival, immediately followed by black friday and cyber Monday(Nov 30th) would end the shopping madness making it almost impossible to miss the deals.

SLOT BLACK FRIDAY SALE

In Nigeria, when you think offline tech store one of the first places that comes to mind is SLOT.
It no surprise that they will be taking part in this year's black friday sale.

On November 27th, Everything would be at their cheapest so strap up and prepare for it because it won't be child's play.

Meet my high score

Mine...

Yesterday, I was browsing on Google Chrome with a WiFi router and unexpectedly it disconnected and showed.

You are Offline
WiFi and mobile data are unavailable. The page can be loaded once the device connects to a network.



Out of frustration and impatience I kept tapping the screen and I noticed that the animal(dinosaur) on the left came to life and started running, I was really surprised.

As the Dino ran, there were cactus obstacles in its way and I found out that I could make if jump by tapping the screen.

So I kept playing the game which I became so addicted to that I forgot I was browsing.

It's an endless running game like Subway Surfers and Temple run.

To play the Google Chrome game on your Android all you have to do is switch off your data connection and try loading a page on it like try visiting a website with your data switched off, you should see a page saying;

You are Offline
WiFi and mobile data are unavailable. The page cam be loader once the device connects to a network.

Now, just tap anywhere on the screen and the dinosaur on the left would come alive just as I explained earlier, tap anywhere on your screen to jump over the obstacles.

To play the game on your PC, disable your connection(it's an offline game) and when it shows the 'You're Offline' page, instead of tapping your screen you tap the space bar and also use the space bar to jump over obstacles.

For iOS users, I haven't tried it out on an iPhone or iPad yet.
You could try testing out using the method for Android. And let us know the outcome by posting your feedback in the comments section below.

Wow! You made it this far!
For reading this post till the end I'd share an additional Google Chrome tip with you.
I'd show you how to use Google Chrome as a calculator.

To Use Google Chrome as a calculator, just input the problem in the address bar but do not press enter.

I'm scared the laptop doesn't have Wifi.while reading review on jumia here is what was written.
"The Acer ENME69BMP comes with 2 GB of RAM, a hard disk capacity of 500 GB, SD-reader, WIRELESS ADATPTERS Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Web camera with 720p-video..." the "wireless adapter wifi"is serious giving me a second thought
---- NL'ders I ordered this laptop since FRI but i'm yet to get my order.Could it be because the phone Number used while registering was missing i'd to change for another on my account yesterday. They claimed +t was shipped Nov 1 and confirmed.someone help me out,i don't seem to get it

You need your number to receive your order, cos the delivery guy would call you to tell you where he's at..

Okay... Okay.. Okay... Before you all eat me alive just hear me out.

I'm the number one hater of slow Internet, I mean, is there anything worse than it?

Since the inception of 3G and 4G we all just forgot those days when we browse on our Nokia C1��, those days when you'd have to wait minutes for a page to load and we were patient back then until we got 3G and 4G enabled phones, then if it doesn't load in two seconds there's a big problem!

It's an established fact that we all hate slow Internet connection but what if I told you 'maybe it has its good side?'

For example, Slow Internet connection helped a student sitting for an examination by giving him an 'EXPO'(Like it's often called in Nigeria).



The student got a question which reads;

The following life cycle details the life cycle of which fungal infection?

I'm sure the student must have screamed after seeing this question(I would have!), look at all the 'Big Big grammar' that's in the option, how can I pick when I can't even pronounce it?

But fortunately for this student, luck shined on his side and the system was 'plagued' with poor Internet connection, due to the slow connection the image didn't load properly, instead it showed the title of the image which clearly reveals the answer.

On a normal day, slow Internet connection could be your worst enemy but on that day it was a life saver.

With next year's JAMB examination around the corner I'm sure a lot of candidates would wish such a fortune befall them, I lie?

Rubbish... 1gig ram? 8gig ROM?

Yea....but...4G?

The Tecno Camon C5 is a 5.0 inch, 4G enabled Android device announced by Tecno mobile back in July.

The device was a really awesome device and a lot of people anticipated it. The only problem was that after all the campaigns and everything, when the Tecno Camon C5 finally launched in August we heard that it wasn't available for sale in Nigeria instead we were compensated with the Tecno Camon C8 which is somewhat similar to the Tecno Camon C5 except, it doesn't support 4G connectivity, you can imagine how that felt.

Last week, I was doing some window shopping on Jumia, getting ready for black Friday when I saw the Tecno Camon C5 up for sale, at an affordable price too.

Tecno Camon C5 price in Nigeria

Let me quickly do a little spec run down for the Tecno Camon C5;
