nonny1212: read wetin kwa

I give up.

4llerbuntu: weird thing is at times i suspect its just trolling.


anyways is it that folks are now targeting emails for mining?

its becoming regular that folks send me a pm to get my mail. i reply and then nothing.

nothing dey dt mail address no waste ya time o

I also get that problem. Didn't think much about it but just recalled that two guys I know had their email hacked. guess I wouldn't reply PMs for now.

Maxymilliano: The situation is almost the same everywhere in Lagos, hope a lasting solution will be proffered to ameliorate the situation.

why are they pushing a bus into river Niger?

Guru = noob + google + experience (plenty trial and error).

do not pretend to underestimate the power of google.

I do not like to be spoonfed. there is no knowledge that is not power.

but please remember that intelligence can never surpass common sense.

meanwhile, I noticed something odd on glo. I subscribed to the 10MB data plan by mistake. then installed an app of about 5MB. then wanted to download a 30MB file. Didn't do PAYU, but had enough credit. so I started downloading and got the file. its not constant; some days I can diwnload upto 100MB before it stops. other times 20MB. the key is not to break the download.

working on how to view an android screen on another android device SMOOTHLY

since you have no apologies for being honest then listen to the tale I tell

I'm not a fan of Nigerian home videos but reading how you attacked iroko, I decided to check yours out. on the website I saw you had an android app and that got my interest. I could be wrong but I believe that is the first time I have come across a nollywood app that can stream. however, having used the app for a while I have some isdues.

1. Adobe air. After downloading the app you must install adobe air to use it. there are many streaming apps that don't use the application. why will I download a bloatware that I will only use for just one app. also 800kb against 9MB?

2. The app only has grid view making the menu at the left side small. yes there are lovely posters of the films for me to look at but unless I have the eyes of a hawk I can't read what's on the poster and if I want a summary of the film but dont want to click on the poster I'm stuck.

3. can only use your menu if I have fingers as small as broomsticks

4. no help intro for first time users .mainly by trial and error do you understand what the buttons are for. considering that a lot of women love watching home videos imagine them using the app for the first time. then, from your target population countries on your site, imagine people outside nigeria using the app.

5. I'm using a very fast internet service. I noticed that when I click on the music sign ( have no idea what its for) it starts playing a jerky video with the music out of sync. no matter what I do its still the same thing. I logged out and played a YouTube video. perfect streaming.

6. finally, while playing a video and you press back on the phone to go back to the previous menu, the app shuts down.

by the way, nice welcome music

ciphoenix: my default player plays flv, avi and wmv.

hmmm. mine doesn't. guess I have been playing in root folder for too long. thanks for the info.

very informative. thanks.just read your other write ups and found out they have been cheating me for the past 3 years.

vomiting my stomach out.

in summary

never heard of that and I'm in owerri. have seen a new type of traffic warden group said to have been set up by the governor but I don't know what they are called. most of the time they wear brown uniform

adaobi123: Hello guys.

I own a Samsung s3 but I find it difficult open up movies which I have downloaded from the Internet. Whenever I enter the download section of the phone and press the movie, the file cannot be opened. Is it because the type of file is incompatible with the phone ?

Or do I need to change websites ?

Am I allowed to answer this question?

adaobi ,welcome to the Android world.

my guess is the movies are in flv or avi format. android plays mpeg by default. install a media player like Mxplayer and use it to play the movie

yet to get your mail

[quote author=blackweaver]hmm a website domiciled in the uk that has the price of products in naira; na wa o

hopey0007: Its the slim one, no issue whatsoever and its a canadian used. Still very clean. I am in ikeja

hopey0007: I have wanted it gone for a while so I can do 30. It is not hacked and I can give u 2 games with it.

good for me. but for how long have you had it? have you ever had cause to repair it? and most importantly have you ever had the rings of death issue. what is your location?

how old is the xbox360? is it hacked? ring of death? how many cds do you have? 30k for it?

how's this for a revolution

A group of college students from
India – including a designer who
is just 17 years old – has beaten
the likes of Apple, Google and
Sony to launch the world’s first
fully-featured smartwatch.
Called Androidly, the device comes
with Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi and a
camera built-in.
The £150 watch can also be used
as a phone to make calls and
send texts using a phone SIM
card and packs up to 16GB of
storage.
Although other smart watches,
including the Pebble and Sony’s
Live Watch, can wirelessly connect
with mobile phones, Androidly is
the first to come with the
operating system fully integrated.
Androidly has a 2inch screen and
comes with a 2MP camera.
It runs on an older version of the
Android operating system called
Android 2.2 Froyo.
A speaker, camera and
microphone are built into the
device and it can be plugged into
a USB socket to be used as a
storage device.
It can also be used to charge the
phone.
Androidly is the brainchild of four
students from India – software
developer Ankit Pradhan,
communications professional
Pavneet Singh Puri and lawyer
Apurva Sukant plus teenager
Siddhant Vats.
Sukant said: ‘There are other such
products in the market, but they
mostly sync with a smartphone
and are not phones in themselves.
‘We have ported Android on to a
much smaller board and built a
wearable phone.’
The devices can now be ordered,
in black or white, from the
Android.ly site for £150 each.
The £90 Pebble watch was the
first device to be classed as a
‘smartwatch’ and similarly
launched following a successful
Kickstarter campaign earlier this
year.
The Pebble smartwatch syncs
wirelessly with a smartphone
allowing users to receive emails
and Facebook messages, control
their music and even see who is
calling them.
Users can also downloads apps to
their watch to upgrade its
capabilities.
It works by connecting to an
iPhone or Android device via
Bluetooth, then downloading the
Pebble app to transmit software
updates.
Apple is also rumoured to be
developing a smartwatch, although
the firm has refused to comment
on the plans.
Google is also known to be
investigating the area.
Explaining the potential of
Androidly, the site explains:
‘Multi-task like a super hero.
Reach out for that refreshing drink
in middle of an email, with full
confidence.
‘Read through your documents,
with references on your wrist and
a coffee in your hand!
‘Cook with the recipe handy, or
manage your stocks with a live
ticker always at hand.
‘Switch between the digital and
the real world effortlessly, without
putting anything up or
down!’ [ https://passnownow.com/

4llerbuntu: one of the hazards of this thread and perhaps NL is that you stand the risk of losing the ability to help yourself.

you run the risk of developing learned helplessness. at its advanced stages you require people to wipe the crack in your arse for you after you shyte.

people like leopantro are known vectors of this disease. they spread it recklessly.

Puskin, why is this? do we have to report this site to Ministry of Health and WHO for posing a health risk to thousands of users?

guy haba now. its not all cases I reply to. Sometimes I look in and see soo many problems people can just google for the answer but are too lazy to do so and I just don't bother to reply. it cost nothing to help anyone and it's a forum , marks are not deducted for asking stupid questions.

but some times those questions helps. one of such questions asked two pages back made me realize how to use glo bis on android again. using the userscript on android was from something Nuel said.

but truth be told, people do ask the craziest questions

before you call any of the above numbers google "Surge Mini Tablet" "Surge Mobile" "Surge Mini II 3-in-1" then make up your mind

flameforx: Thanks so much bro.
What of the modem that will fit the neat ROM

I use GT-I9100. look for I9100XWLSW NeatROM Lite v4.8

flameforx: @leopantro. Plz what's the best ROM for a Samsung galaxy s2 and best modem for it.I really need your advice sir

have used sentinel rom and slim rom, by far the best is neat rom. though it is 4.1.2 but it is based on S4 rom, the other are based on S3. all jellybean. the battery life is very good , seconded only to sentinel rom. has both MTP and USB connection mode. even has smart stay. its the only custom rom that has MHL capabilities, , need it to play Superman on my TV.

Any one heard of Androidlost ? very good ąpp for lost or stolen phones

4llerbuntu: Gentlemen who KNOW

crossbreeder or seeder, which is better?

have only used seeder before and saw good improvement in lag reduction. crossbreeder works but read it may make things unstable. not used it though

my two cents

ozor1: nop..seriously nairaland is too big for it not to get a decent app

have been on Puskin tail because of this. found out that any nairaland app that allows adverts not endorsed by them isn't allowed.

just installed neat rom, by far the best rom I have come across

Leopantro: have used cyanomod 10.1 and slimbean but they both crash when performing heavy task on the phone. is there anyway to keep them stable? if not would download the official jellybean ROM but i lose root priviledges .

found the issue. wiped battery stats and the ROM became stable.

interesting. install a rom, perform a nand backup, install another rom, another nand backup. can move from jellybean to gingerbread in 5 minutes without the use of a computer. like BOOT MANAGER.

By the way, all custom roms don't have mhl capability. heard Neat ROM can well check up on that

Proprietors of filling stations in
Imo state under the aegis of
Independent Petroleum Marketers
Association of Nigeria (IPMAN)
today (Monday) shut down their
filling stations in protest of alleged
extortion and arbitrary taxations by
the state government.
The dealers locked up their business
premises as early as 5:30 am which
caught motorists unawares, leaving
many stranded for the day.
Commuters, particularly civil
servants, school children, market
women and traders who had trooped
out to board taxis for their various
destinations experienced difficulties
securing transportation and were
also astounded by the sharp
increment in fares.
Only few commercial vehicles that
had fuel left over from the previous
day or obtained fuel through the
black market were on the road and
hiked their fares by 100 percent.
The state chairman of the
Independent Petroleum Marketers
Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Mr.
Christopher Amadi blamed the strike
on the state government for its
alleged draconian imposition of
N1million on each proprietor of a
filling station in the state.
Amadi stated that various meetings
between his association and the
state government over the modus-
operandi of businesses in the state,
the latter (State Government) had
directed the IPMAN members in the
state to pay a levy of N1million to re-
validate their operations in the state
in line with a new regulation which
the association rejected.
He therefore said that the strike was
in response to government’s
determination to force the levy down
the throat of the members.
IPMAN in the state had written to the
national bodies of PENGASSON and
NUPENG notifying them of the levy
and the threat of the state
government to seal off filling stations
that fails to pay on Monday, 24th
June, 2013.
The bodies in turn told IPMAN, Imo
state, to ignore the directive but
advised that if the state was bent on
allegedly forcing the outrageous levy
on fuel dealers, that IPMAN, Imo
state should shut down and
commence a protest strike.
Commenting, the Secretary of the Imo
State Petroleum Task force, one Mr.
Martins said that the strike by IPMAN
was caused by government agencies
who engage in arbitrary taxations of
petroleum dealers.
The state Commissioner for
Information, Culture and Tourism Mr.
Chinedu Offor in his reaction, said
that the state government had earlier
intimated all associations operating
business in the state on its
modalities and guidelines to remain
afloat, stressing that government
would no longer tolerate groups or
individuals that are not ready to
comply with it.
But in a conflicting statement, his
Lands, Survey and Urban
Development counterpart, Mr. Uche
Nwosu explained that the state
government had since directed the
management of the Owerri Capital
Development Authority (OCDA) to
suspend all discussions bordering
on the imposition of levy on IPMAN
in the state until further notice.
As at the time of filing this report,
filling stations in the state were still
shut and there was still no indication
that the mass action would be called
off by the dealers.
