This guy is a scam.

Pls AVOID HIM.

After they catch him, he will disappear , change name n phone num n com back again.

He is only interested in ur 2500 transport fare. Once he get that from multiple acts he vanished, dont fall f ok r his confidence n sweet mouth talks.

Is this a joke? Or are you a clout chaser? I know the seller in question, I have patronised him several times - and not once has he been found wanting. He even bends over backwards to satisfy his customers.
How dare you accuse him, how dare you try to stain his reputation - without evidence no less. As you have falsely accused him - may you also be falsely accused by people you have had no dealings with. You are vile, evil, and a degenerate.

Hahaha , why did you say so

Sorry about your lost coins. Konami are known to be incompetent and stubborn. Just send a mail as our good friend has suggested, or try harassing them on their social media accounts.

The game is truly different on the iPhone. Since I started using it for efootball I've only lost once in PvP matches and it was a last minute goal conceded due to my negligence.
I trashed the last set of guys I played 4-1, 3- 0,3-2. I'm so enjoying the game on iPhone. I put it on 60Fps and high graphic settings yet it plays so well that it's like I'm playing against Al and not an online opponent. The graphic is so good and stadium so clear , I see the spectators clearly. Just felt I should share what transpired after getting it.
Only problem is that I lost my over 10,000 coins accumulated over years while transfering my data from Android to iPhone, though my GP and other things were in tact, but I lost all my coins.

That's great news, thanks for the update. The iPhone always takes the cake when it comes to high end mobile gaming because of its awesome software and hardware optimization. To get that level of performance on an Android device, you would probably need at least 6GB of RAM and most likely a stock version of Android. Even with that there is no guarantee it will run the same way on devices with similar specs.

horlahwaley:
Been reading your post for a while though i knew most of the things you posted but i still gain one or few things, kudos bruh.

Apple bionic chips still baffles me how they manage 6 cores cpu with two clusters still beating latest SD back to back even with three clusters CPU and even in GPU. Its like android flagship cpu's are 2 years behind. Just that apple is restrictive in their user interface.

There is one major reason Apple's Bionic SoCs easily defeat the competition - the tight integration between Apple hardware and Apple software (iOS). Apple iOS was developed by Apple specifically for Bionic SoCs - so it has been fully optimised to take full advantage of the underlying hardware.
Android on the other hand is not optimised for any specific SoC, it is generic. Also, Android engineers don't have the time and the resources to tune or optimise Android to work perfectly well with every available SoC.
Another very important thing to note is that iPhones are by nature flagship devices, so all the components are usually flagship grade components. With Android devices, most times you see manufacturers mixing different grades of components together - which "might" ultimately affect optimised performance. A good analogy could be putting a V12 turbocharged engine in a small car like a Toyota Yaris. Ideally, you would have to change so many other things to ensure the engine is not underutilized in the vehicle.

Redmi note 4 mediatek with helio X20 is not good then...I Was busy counting the cores plus it's cortex A75....

The Helio x2x series actually used the much older cortex A72 cores, while the newer Helio x3x series used cortex A73 cores.

Just take it a step at a time. As I dey so, I no dey rush again. One langauage after the other, then Recruiter go start to see my disturbance for LinkedIn

Thanks for this. I seriously don't understand the desperation I have seen in this thread. How can people be thinking, and even talking about taking drugs in order to achieve their objectives? Is it when they discover they are addicted, or that there are some hitherto undiscovered side effects; is that when they will learn?
The entertainment industry is littered with many examples of people who used 'mild' drugs to help them maintain their busy schedules. All it took was one mistake, and they ended up dead. Three examples stand out - Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Heath Ledger. As I always say, wise people learn from their mistakes, but wiser people learn from other people's mistakes.
As always, this is my personal opinion.

ObvslyNotBanana:
If I was a developer, I'd call it a day too after optimizing for snapdragon. It's actually hard with a lot of SOCs on Android. For Apple, it's easy for developers who work with just the Apple CPUs because iterations are closely related.

Btw, coming from a former iPhone user, the iPhone is usually a hotplate that doesn't do well with heat. A13 upward are better. A12 and below easily throttle while gaming. I remember my iphone 7 easily throttling playing "Sims build it" and my then iPhone XS throttling playing Pes 21 especially when I used a black casing which trapped heat, so I played with my casing off. You can imagine the quirkiness!

Great insight, heat and throttling is something people don't usually talk about. All that power requires adequate cooling.

What battery health can one get as okay for an iPhone. Range of battery health

I am afraid I am not in a good position to answer that, as I am not really an iPhone expert. Someone else might be able to assist you with this.

Privit:


The 4gb RAM kind of got me confused.
I use a poco x3 pro. Want to buy and iPhone from 11 upwards but want to be sure if it'd be better

Even the iPhone X would be better, but the iPhone 11 is miles ahead. Games and apps on iOS are usually very well optimized because of the close integration between the hardware and the software, and the fact that developers know the exact hardware they are developing for.
Only really experienced and good developers can spend the time and resources required to optimize apps and games on Android. Also, developers don't have access to all the available SoCs on Android - most developers just focus on Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs and call it a day.

I wish there would be a way...one can play someone he knows via username

Rumours are the friendly match feature might be added in tomorrow's update, fingers crossed.

Privit:


You mean the iPhone 11 has a better game play than that of x3 pro

Apart from being a flagship phone, the version for the iPhone will also be better optimised because the developers know the exact CPU and GPU that is in the iPhone.

Privit:
Which would have a better game play of Efootball between iPhone 11 and poco x3 pro

You really can't compare the iPhone 11, a very recent flagship with the Poco X3 - which is at best an upper midrange phone. The iPhone is miles ahead.

That fast forward happened to me twice yesterday. I'm currently in level 4 of the campaign. Was leading someone 1-0 yesterday, next thing I noticed was that after the guy went to make substitutions the game started fast forwarding unnecessarily and I ended up loosing 2-1, thought it was my phone malfunctioning cos it happened with 2 different guys I played against.
Is it that cheaters have already found a way to manipulate this new one also

You better believe it, the cheaters have landed. Almost all my matches online are always against cheaters, only a small number of online opponents aren't cheating.

boblawson:

On point.
Lag cheaters.
How can someone be pressing me with 2 goals ahead and i see small opportunity to score,na so e be like them fast forward my player 20 yards to post one on one till e enter keeper hand.
Or the one I will be flogging someone 3-0 before 30min, next thing guy stop to attack,na so game come lag till he equalised the 3 nill and end up winning the match.
It's not fair o.

I usually feel sorry for such people whenever I encounter them. If they can go to this length to win a match on a mobile phone, then they are also ready to kill to get what they want offline.

Reading some posts on this thread just make me shudder in disbelief. Someone (maybe) contacted you impersonating someone else, and it never once crossed your mind to confirm the identity of the person you were doing business with. And a big red flag is that the person wrongly accused has no history of rendering such services.
Anyone who contacts me unsolicited will have to jump through so many hoops to get validated, and even then I will not do business with such an individual. Let us all be wise and circumspect at all times.

Minemrys:

Actually I am more a Spiderman fan. He is so relatable. Then there's Superman who I kinda relate with somehow. Many DC characters are relatable safe for bats who writers thought to make cool.

The comic book characters I relate the most with are Batman, and Ironman. I can't relate with Superman - he is overpowered, has a glaring weakness the universe knows about, always holds back in a fight, and he also has so many powers.
I can relate with Batman because his character shows that with strict training, discipline, and self-denial - nothing is impossible to achieve. You can even end up arm wrestling with gods.
Ironman's character on the other hand reveals the ingenuity of the human mind. If your mind is suitably advanced, you can build almost anything in any situation. As the original Ironman movie states "heroes are built, not born". I love the fact that a physically unimpressive, not so disciplined, alcoholic Tony Stark can (with the aid of technology fashioned by his mind) stand toe to toe with the Hulk.

Minemrys:

Nolan films usually have plot holes like in TDKR, how did bane and his crew get motorcycles into the bank or wall Street without anyone knowing? Or how it became night all of a sudden. But batbale did what a normal human does. He wasn't all knowing, he had emotions and exhibited them.
As for the tabs thing, I get he should. Of course he is a business man and all business people have back up plans but spying on the league and their various work of life is just doing what the plot wants him to. It's way overboard. And out of character. Going by how it is, Batman need not care much about green arrow as he isn't a threat and even at that, he probably should have alot to worry about than a vigilante of star city.

Are you kidding me? If I am Batman, and there is someone on my team who never misses his shots - I will put extra tabs on such an individual. It is obvious you do not understand Batman very well because this is not the first time he is doing this. Batman has contingency plans for ALL the league members.

Hello, fellers. Hope you guys are healthy and safe (my God, did I just use Ben Sin's intro? ).

Alright, so I've been using a (cheap!) KaiOS
device for a little over a year and a half as a primary (only) phone. Hell; it's what I'm using to type this review(!) So, I want to share with you guys how it is using this ''smart feature phone''.

So, I bought this device; specifically the MTN Smart T M561M3, on February last year, for #8500 MSRP. Precisely, February 6, 2020. I placed the order on Jumia and got the phone five days later (order was on February 3).

Of course, I did my research before making the decision. I knew what to expect, but as I have said so many times; the best way to find out the truth about a phone or what is like is to use it.

I wasn't expecting an Android-replacement experience. In fact; I wasn't even expecting Tizen OS level of mobile OS performance, though I must say I was stoked over a keypad-driven device with Google Assistant, YouTube, WhatsApp and of course Xender and ShareIt. (There's Facebook and Twitter, too!) So I placed the order and got the phone.

I will post pictures very soon; and in this thread I will post in-depth reviews and photos so that you will get the message, just in case you wanna jump in! (No, literally ) ( )

Okay, sorry for fooling around.

SIM: Dual-SIM, Dual-Standby

(Yes, 3G is supported on both SIMs, but to use it both SIMs must be MTN SIMs; SIM 1 must have an MTN SIM or you cannot use the device. SIM 2 can use any other SIM but is locked to 2G only.

An MTN SIM must be in the device for the device to work. You can use the phone without the SIMs if you put it in airplane mode then remove the SIMs).

(Display has OK colours but even my ex-BlackBerry Bold 9900 beats it in contrast and black levels. The display gets decently bright but the sun thoroughly defeats it. This is no Galaxy S10+)



CHIPSET:

Spreadtrum (now Unisoc) SC7731EF, 32nm (wot d'ye 'xpect? )

CPU: quad-core 1.3GHz Cortex-A7

GPU: Mali-T830 MP1

RAM: 512MB LPDDR2

STORAGE: 4GB eMMC

(There are TWO MTN Smart T models: M561M2 with 256MB RAM and 512MB eMMC, in black; and mine, in gold with 512MB/4GB.
Specs wise; it's very comparable to Tecno's Y2. But is it better? We will see!)

Nice review. I was excited when KaiOS first surfaced, but not anymore. KaiOS is not even better than Blackberry OS or even the older Symbian OS. The absence of apps, the lack of a thriving ecosystem, and the uninteresting phones running KaiOS make it a pass.

Jirilistic:
I want to download a film and play it on a 43 inche tv,is 480p resolution good enough?
Asin will I enjoy it on a 43 inch tv or will the video be blurry
What video resolution is good enough?

Why don't you download a short (approximately 5minutes or 10minutes long) 480p video (possibly from YouTube) to carry your own personal assessment, instead of downloading a full movie.

Mustiboy:




Na you Juwon beat 10-4 for group? You fall hands.

Nope, not me.

Xiaomi should have recalled both units since their are faulty from factory. At least that will save them form bad reviews.

I agree.

Mustiboy:


Ken, so na you be Naijasensei? Omo

We meet again.

Hi everyone. For those having issues with Poco M3 and Redmi 9T phones refusing to turn on, I was able to get some scoop from someone who owns the Poco M3 and had the same challenge. He was kind enough to; spill the beans about how he recovered his phone, and he also gave me permission to share same here. This interaction took place on a telegram group, by the way.
Please read the write up in the images below if you're experiencing similar problems. Thanks.

Jack14:
So I bought redmi 9a...I haven't even used the phone for up to 10 days,it just went off and couldn't turn on again.i took the phone back to where I bought it,they took the phone from me and promise to replace it with another one for Me
It over two weeks now and I haven't gotten my phone

Ten days is too short for a phone to fail. Please stay on their neck and insist they replace it immediately. If they continue to delay, go to their social media handles to call them out. Why should they deprive you of the joy of enjoying your purchase.

pu7pl3:


He said he didn't like some of the recent booking from WWE and asked to be released

Really? Anyways, if you aren't WWE and you want your wrestling promotion to succeed, stay away from either of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, or Eric Bischoff. Their oversized egos and politicking are enough to ruin any business - ask TNA and WCW.

Johnwick64:
Guys,I tried today to openy Redmi 9a SIM tray with that pin in the carton but it refused to pop up,what can I do.
Mind you,d phone is less than 2 wks old and my SIM and SD card was put into the phone where I bought it

Don't panic. You will need to apply a little force when you insert the ejector pin into the SIM tray. If you can try to watch a YouTube video showing how to eject the SIM tray. As a last resort, you can go back to where you bought it to ask them to show you how it's done.

Mustiboy:


And, after this matter does down, he will continue showing up here to unsuspecting newbies.

I'll take it upon myself to tell people to flee from him.

Thank you, I will also warn people about him.

atheistandproud:
Dear thread.

Abeg if una get bad deals with any vendor or repair person. Make una come tell us.

Make we no use our hand take recommend problem.

I cannot believe that these many people were aware of such a problem and they kept quiet.

On the other hand, sellers and repair persons. Some customers can be extra. We know. But the burden of proof rests on you to convince us without reasonable doubt as to your part in the matter.

Don't come and give us Abba Kyari half cooked beans tailor explanation. It only serves to indict you even more.

Dear friend, I didn't want it to seem like I was pushing an agenda (the usual jealous people are trying to bring me down excuse) - seeing how slippery, annoying, disgusting, and shameless the accursed accused is, that is why I let it slide. The cretinous retard showed no emphaty or remorse after selling a dead battery to me, so I decided to move on. The buffoon even complained I was disturbing him with "stories". I didn't want to stain myself by arguing with a moronic tout, so I moved on. Almost all the sellers I have had dealings with here have been kind, gracious, and respectful. He was only respectful before I paid him, after that he was talking like the tout he truly was - a slithering green snake in green grass.
I am sorry other people fell into his trap, but it is good he has been exposed.

Mustiboy:


I'm in no way supporting his atrocities.

I had wanted to deal with him recently. Thank God it didn't materialize due to the more convenient option I got later.

Just sad he's walked the wrong path; everyone will now refrain from recommending him.

I, for one, have recommended him many a time, and I deeply regret it.

I know - an honest mistake, just make sure he is never recommended to anyone ever again. I have no problem with anyone making a mistake - but I hate it when a person is happy to defraud others. That guy loves swindling people. He is not just walking the wrong path, he is swimming in it.

Catfishing:
my friend's Jnr bro will beat him black&blue "No Cap on that"

That guy is one second from meeting that problem he so much likes. He doesn't know that I can open multiple accounts and troll the living daylight outta his miserable wretched life. He should be happy I was in good mood, but if I hear of his mischief again, Nl won't contain me and him.

I compliment my reserve

Cc. Repairguru

Don't bother, he is an unrepentant thief without shame - you cannot shame the shameless. His overconfidence will accelerate his demise.

Mustiboy:


So the guy's business hits rock bottom today. Feel bad for him.

Could be a family man who has kids to cater for, but he can't continue to do that at the expense of people here.

Ka onye nweanyi nonyere ya.

As much as you are trying to be objective, please don't mistakenly partake in the curses that have been placed on that unfortunate boy's head - he must reap those curses. I have personally been duped by that wicked fellow, he deliberately sold a dead battery to me. After informing him, he told me I was disturbing him. I didn't waste time coming here to report him or whatever; because I realized he was a thug, a tout, and a thief who derives pleasure in stealing and cheating. His ultimate waterloo is very close and I don't want him to repent.
