Though nowadays phones ship with all those new customizations,its nothing compared to rooting.

Rooting opens a door of doing what i want,when i want and how i want the device to appear....not get stuck to the manufacturers designs and customization.

Xiaomi is looking to focus on flagship and mid-range Android phones over the course of this year, industry sources told Smatt Geeks Media.

Latest data shows that Xiaomi is currently the fourth largest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in China by shipments and has experienced a steep decline in shipments in 2016. The company’s Chief Executive Officer Lei Jun recently admitted that the company grew too quickly in recent years and vowed to put a larger focus on sustainable growth in the future.

You just come?Helio X30 already unveiled since last September .

Idon't know people just have this wrong notion that anything used by Tecno must be crap , low range , even if they associated with the best in the world.

This gets me on a personal level, cos people have this kind of wrong stereotype about me too.
I personally love tecno phones....the first phone to feature helio x30 is not yet released.

Do you know why most flagships come with Qualcomms snapdragon?

Reason #1:

Other Chip-set manufacturers like MediaTek, Spreatrum and Broadcom. do not have the finesse in chip-sets to meet the experience of high-end customer.


Reason #2:

Its the phenomenon of sustainable competitive advantage. Big Brands don't want to work on Mediatek (which controls the market for most of Chinese originated smartphones,) because there are many vendors in Chinese ecosystem, who can quickly emulate the work of Big Brands on Mediatek.

Chinese vendors are experienced on Working on Mediatek Chip-sets, but are not experienced on Qualcomm chip-sets. So the capability of Chinese ecosystem is limited on Qualcomm. chip-sets., thus Work of Big Brands has lesser chances to be copied by Chinese vendors.


And as i said earlier...all this chips have strengths and flaws....but snapdragon have lesser flaws and perfom better in most aspects.

Mediatek chips are meant to power low to middle range phones and thats why this brand is so popular in africa where we prefer $150 phones rather than $700 phones....and i have used both snapdragon and mediatek and find mediatek lagging behind....but why do i still use it?
because thats what i can afford....and tecno is my favorite among this other chinese brands.
PhonesSony Releases Video On How To Unlock Xperia Bootloaders by Mikeshiangala(op): 3:01am On Feb 15, 2017
https://smattgeeksmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Sony_Bootloader_Unlock-1420x799-840x480.jpg

Sony Mobile has put out a new video showing how to unlock the bootloaders of qualifying Xperia devices.
The video goes over exactly how to use the resources set forth in Sony’s developer website to unlock the bootloader on approved devices. You can check if your device’s bootloader can be unlocked by checking the list on the site, or by using a special developer menu accessed with dialer code *#*#7378423#*#*.
If “Root Status” is missing or says no in that menu, than your device cannot have its bootloader unlocked. Otherwise, the video shows how to use ADB and Fastboot with a Sony-supplied bootloader unlock code.
The process has a good number of steps, but is actually fairly simple. Before you start, you’ll want to head to your phone’s “About Phone” menu and click on your Build Number a few times to unlock the Developer Settings menu, then go in there and make sure that OEM Unlock and USB Debugging are turned on.

From there, you can turn off your device for now. If you already have ADB and Fastboot installed on your system, you’re good to go, but if not, you can download them from Google’s developer website. Windows users will have to set up drivers during this step, while Linux and Mac users should be able to simply install the program.

To double check installation of ADB, type “adb devices” into your console of choice. To check for Fastboot installation, type in “fastboot devices”. If both of those commands parse, even if they’re blank, you’re good to go.
From there, go to Sony’s page, pick your device from the list, and register your email.
You’ll receive a link in your email that will bring you to instructions for your device, including how to put it in Fastboot mode, and a code. Once you have that code, connect your device to your computer, turn on Fastboot mode per the instructions on the page, and enter in the commands on the page. Once you’ve done all of that, your bootloader is officially unlocked, and you’re ready to flash custom recoveries and ROMs, at the expense of your warranty.

PhonesRe: Please Anyone With Good Personal Reviews On Samsung J7 Prime? by Mikeshiangala(m): 11:33pm On Feb 14, 2017
its really a good device.camera is sperb. display 264 ppi is low but with a super amoled it looks good. it can handle the games very well there is no lag. j7 prime is also a good but if you need a good camera and better display you should go with j7(2016).


Pros :-

1) battery backup

2) display

3) sleek design(7.8mm)thin

4) octacore exynos 7850 processor

5) balanced performance with 2gb ram

6) runs high end games well

7) ram management is good

cons-
1) no fingerprint scanner

2) there should be 1gb more ram at this price bracket

we are talking of chipsets already powered in gadgets right now and not yet to be released.

Remember Snapdragon 835 is also coming out this july or something and thats when we'll talk of helio x30....
But for now.......helio x25 and below should be the basis of this arguement.

Customizing with root and without root are two different things.
Root always has more priviledge in custimization than non root device and therefore it will depend wirh what you wanna customize.

If its just appearance,using launchers will work.

You are undirectly saying Snapdragon is superior, which I tend to disagree with.

Its been a royal rumble fight between these two and the safest conclusion to make is that both are head to head .
Of course snapdragon is superior...

both chipsets have their strengths and flaws and weighing all that snapdragon has always emerged the winner.

I don’t know about you, but when someone tells me not to Google something , I immediately do it.
It’s a sickness i guess because I can’t think of a single instance where whatever I discovered online after being explicitly warned against looking for it didn’t live up to my awful expectations. In other words, when people tell you not to Google something, they usually have a damn good reason.

So why am I sharing this roundup post of things you shouldn’t google, knowing full well that some of you are going to Google them anyway, and I will be the one to blame for your subsequent discomfort?
Because I am a very, very, very bad person, that’s why.
Keep reading … IF YOU DARE.


That said, here are a few things you should never type into Google’s search box :



1.Clock spider




I can’t even type those words without my scalp crawling. Now, I have a THING about spiders so your creep factor on this one may vary, but if you’re a fellow arachnophobe, you definitely definitely don’t want to Google Image Search this term.



2.Bedbugs on Mattress



SWEET JESUS NO!



3.Wet koala




Eventually the Internet will inform you that the viral image of a “wet koala” is in fact fake. But not before you are SCARRED FOR LIFE by the damp, fanged, rage-filled creature someone dreamed up via Photoshop.



4.Tetris Fantic




What could ever be wrong about googling Tetris? I mean, it’s Tetris, right? Wrong again. There is a type of pornographic fan fiction inspired by Tetris. It sounds something like this:
“I unbuttoned the blue pixel I had on my lower half and instructed her on the ways of pre-intimacy. As her top pixel met my bottom pixel, I let out an ecstatic sigh. Such pleasure I had never experienced in my life …”



5.Yourself




Either you’ll find no proof whatsoever of your existence, or you’ll realize just how screwed-up your Internet legacy will be. There’s no happy outcome here.



6.Lazy sundays




There are no words to describe this… Unless you are into old men, who enjoy “scrubbing” each other in the shower, you should try to stay away.



7.Blue Waffle




There is honestly no need to elaborate. Whatever you do, just don’t.



8.Tub Girl




Do you know the games where you have to concentrate really, really, really hard, and then a scary face appears out of nowhere and you fall of your chair crying? Tub girl is in some ways similar to those faces, because it manages to scare the life out of innocent people. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t look it up, because your reaction might be similar to this guy’s.


9.Fournier




10.Meatspin


11.Goatse (Espcially not this one)

12.Two Girls,One cup

13.Cake farts

14.Skeleton in the closet

15.Google pewdiepie

16.Lemon party

17.Mr.Hands



and that’s todays list don’t be too curious to know them.

PhonesTech Workers Demonstrate Against Trump by Mikeshiangala(op): 1:41pm On Feb 14, 2017
https://smattgeeksmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/fullsizerender.jpg

President Trump recently tried to ban anyone from a list of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. The Ninth Circuit Court has thwarted those efforts so far, though Trump plans to appeal that decision.
Meanwhile, many legal citizens, green-card holders and even those born in the U.S have faced scrutiny at the border.

And in Silicon Valley, that ban and other efforts against immigrants have a greater impact on tech and the economy.

Immigrants have been instrumental in building some of the world’s largest tech companies and Silicon Valley feeds on a constant flow of brain power and innovation from people coming from all over the world.
However, Trump is expected to soon take steps to overhaul the rules for the H-1B visa program, a specialized type of visa given to highly skilled workers, nearly half of which go to those working in Silicon Valley.

Though San Francisco maintains its sanctuary city status, tech workers at the rally today also mentioned being scared of what Trump could do to them and their families chanting at various times, “No ban. No wall. Sanctuary for all.”

Hello house

Please review my Digital Banking and FinTech news website http://macksonwakama.com/

I have been running it for about 2 months, I already have Google Adsense and sometimes I market it using Google Adwords Express.

My Alexa ranking in Nigeria is about 46k and about 8m globally.
First of all stop looking at your alexa rank as your measure of success...unless you rank 100k and below worldwide.

Instead focus on PA,DA,MozRank and Quality of backlinks pointing to your site.

I think the design is composed,clean and easily navigatable.

My problem is with the title and tagline....they are way way too long.

Why not use Makson Wakama as the blog title and Latest Digital Banking Innovation and FinTech News as the tagline?...or something even shorter!

The other problem is that your blog recognizes you as admin.....why not use your name in the author place that way visitors feel like the know who's talking to them.

Then your permalinks are teribble.....they look something like .com/?p=755
i would suggest using pretty permalinks with your article keywords....and at the end if your post i notice a link pasted to another blog's article.
You may want to scrap that link and use actual words linking to the article and not the link itself.

And lastly i can see your posts are too long which might get boring along the way.

i would suggest adding more pictures in long posts or using different colors in your h2's,h3's,h4's......
but overally the design looks cool on my phone without too much of distractions.

PoliticsKenya Court Jails Doctors’ Union Officials Over Strike by Mikeshiangala(op): 11:52am On Feb 13, 2017
A Kenyan court on Monday jailed seven union officials for a month over a doctors strike that has crippled public hospitals for 10 weeks.

Judge Hellen Wasilwa at Kenya’s labour court had handed down suspended sentences to the officials a month ago after they ignored an earlier court order to end the strike.
Jailing them for contempt of court, the judge said they had provided no reason for the punishment to be deferred.

“The applicants have not demonstrated to court any new and compelling issue, or pointed out any mistake or error apparent on the record, or any sufficient cause that would warrant review of the court’s order,” Wasilwa said.

The seven officials were handcuffed and driven to jail past placard-waving supporters gathered outside the court.
The nationwide strike involving thousands of doctors and nurses began on December 5 and has left public hospitals closed and patients unable to get basic medical care.

Doctors have rejected a government offer of a 40 percent raise saying it falls short of promises made in a 2013 agreement. Staff shortages and a lack of equipment have also failed to be tackled.

Kenyan university lecturers have also been on strike since last month over pay.
The widespread, disruptive industrial action comes months before an August general election in which President Uhuru Kenyatta hopes to win a second term.
