Hi Webmasters,


I added my domain to blogger to host it there but after following the setting instructions by Google, my site is not accessible.

Anytime I want to access the site, it keep saying

"404. That’s an error.
The requested URL / was not found on this server. That’s all we know"

Please help me out.

Your URL redirection settings is wrong

I'll be honest, the last free data day was pretty much useless. I didn't even use the free data for up to an hour and they sent me a text that it's finished.. Smh.. They should go with their free data abeg.

Airtel is an Indian company so you don't expect them to give you the same thing they give their home country. The same way Glo was giving massive data and people are wailing because of the poor network speed in some locations. Airtel India has 4G, Airtel Nigeria doesn't have. Telco's consider the cost of doing business here before rolling out any services.

Yeah xiaomi was first with edge to edge then followed by samsung.

But u obviously forgot both rushed to it because of the news that Apple was working on it. That Apple was working on it has been in the rumormill for ages, and the copycat chinese and Korean behemoths rushed with their me-first mentality.

On the issue of embedding fingerprint under the display: Apple was the first to R & D it, but they found out that FaceID was more secure. Remember they bought primesense strictly for facial recognition and AR, which they're marketing heavily. Samsung tried the embedded fingerprint thing and failed miserably, so they created a 3Dtouch-ripoff on the S8 and rerouted the fingerprint scanner to an awkward position on the back.

And why aren't u indignant about Samsung's Iris unlock gimmick which isn't as reliable and more of a hassle than faceID?

Can't even remember the last time i used it.

As for pixel density....except I'm jacking into my gear vr (which i hardly do due to lack of compelling content) i always leave my display resolution at FHD+ rather than WQHD+. Saves battery and i don't notice any resolution downgrade.

Indeed on the Note 8 FHD+ is the default setting.

When it comes to dual camera Apple has one of the best setups. Telephoto is more useful than a monochrome and RBG setup, the value of which no one is yet to prove.

And did u even watch the keynote? Did u not see how embedded neural engine analyzes and enhances the photos, which enables real-time and post-processed pseudo-studio lighting enhancements and bokeh?

Currently no camera even comes close to what was demoed.

And yes the face ID thing had a hiccup: but u should understand the devices used in keynotes are not always production models running gold masters: they're usually prototypes running beta software so glitches are expected.

I don't own an iphone, i own an S8+ and I'm going to purchase the Essential Phone soon. However, your points and position arw synonymous with rabid fandroids who year after year rant about how iphone sucks while Apple rakes the profits and the rest struggle to break even.

The iPhone X is a great looking phone that's packed with incredible features and is currently more powerful than any Android phone out there, bar bone.

And it is the only phone now with a built in neural engine, depth camera, and advanced AR tracking.

Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it.. By the way the Essential Phone scored 1/10 on IFIXIT's repairability score you might want to double check before getting the phone..

Elxandre:
Your opening line was lame.
400k can change some people's life, so can 50k.
400k is just like 100 Naira to some people, don't forget that, and anyone whose life can be transformed by 400k won't even be looking at a flagship phone in the first place.


That line is the reason you had many rebuttals claiming you can't afford it.

Nice use of memes,
You were a bit repetitive at times, but some points were were placed.

Lol.. Apple fans have always had the idea that Android users were broke .. So I don't really blame them though.. If they like they can wail till tomorrow, I've dropped my opinion and they can't change it.

As for the memes, I'll take note of that.. Thanks

SouthWestBlood:
You should know Nigerians and their "I want to belong attitude." They have no idea or whatsoever. I keep saying the same thing here, just overpriced and overhyped. So many Nigerians are dealing with low self-esteem. I stick to Samsung where I'm fully given access to do whatever with my phone. And even if I decided to change a phone, I think the BlackBerry KeyOne isn't a bad one. Oh, and then, they'll start to remind me of how BlackBerry has faded out.

Yeah.. That's quite true

Monstertrucks:
I have seen you on every thread. Even on that Chelsea thread carrying Iphone matter on your head. And I am confident you're a Barca fan too

And you're a Chelsea fan?

Decale:
Everybody has told you what needed to be told.

You're a blogger and you need traffic plus growth to make heads in that business.

Every post you've made on this thread including the opening post is filled with vitriol, uncouth statements and bereft of rationalism. If you don't own an ios device or at least have a hands on for a few days for a review, you should be cautious in your posts. That's why review sites around the internet even including Misstechy have more clout

Most of the counter posts are from people that use both OS or have used, including posts by veterans that have been on phone section for years. If you can't see something there, you can go on with your overhyped $1k phone logic"

NB: Take this as constructive criticism that doesn't need an immature response.

I'm out

Like I've said previously, I accept constructive criticism and I'm quite okay with what you've said. However, it's my opinion and I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The same way I made a post about some Tecno devices not being good and Tecno fan boys attacked me verbally. I respect people's opinion but I don't see why people should insult me because my opinion doesn't correlate with theirs. You have your opinion and I have mine and I'll never insult you because you have a different opinion. There are just so many immature people on this section right now so I can understand why they churn out insults carelessly.

Monstertrucks:
I'm glad to see the supposed techguy is being enlightened.

Lol. I knew that before so there's nothing enlightening there

KillerFrost:
People that buy iPhones don’t care about all the trash I see up there!..if they wanted that,they would simply go for an android device to do the dirty works and tweaks..whatever that is..They’re super satisfied with the ui and out of the box.
Why YOU THINK it’s an over rated “piece of metal” doesn’t even matter.No one gives 2 fvcks about your opinion.

You don’t and won’t wanna buy the iPhone obviously.You have no intention whatsoever to get the iPhone...then why are you crying?

Like you said it's my opinion and I'm entitled to my opinion as much as you are to yours. At least the U.D Declaration of Human Rights gives us all freedom of speech. So it's actually none of your business if you think I'm crying about it

Monstertrucks:
Lastly, to show your ignorance, iphone X is glass anyways not metal. Please modify your post

Yes I forgot to add that.. Overrated piece of Glass..

Melaninprincess:
Not surprised. Most of iPhone users are always quick to run to that while having an open argument

It's the only thing they know that makes the iPhone stand out. Just because it's overpriced. I'm just tired of their antics.

Monstertrucks:
Oh wow. Please "techguy" enlighten me. Show me these malwares please. Do you have a link also where I can download and INSTALL them on my phone?

Lol go to thehackernews.com and read iOS malware news.

Melaninprincess:
Wait until they tell you that you don't like iPhone because you can't afford it

Lol.. Seen it a lot here already..

Monstertrucks:
What more can I tell you? Carry your bicycle and go. I am not playing anymore. I have never commented on any of those iPhones and android comments on the phones section because I think it's a bunch of jobless people wasting their time. But when I saw your thread on front page and you're supposed to be a "techguy" from Nigeria? So much abuse of that word "techguy" but then again you're from Nigeria

.. Bro.. There's no need for all this argument. I really don't have time to type again. Apple isn't paying any of us neither is Google. Have the best of luck in all your endeavors today. #Peace

Monstertrucks:
Did you even read what I typed? Because I value my security and I don't like my phone infected with malwares does that equates to status quo? Even poor learned men know the value of security.

Security is an illusion. iOS is not malware free. Don't deceive yourself.

ollah1:
Lol, i know his types. Just ignore him. The thing is, you can't have a logical discourse with an iPhone fan. They end up screaming poverty, money , poor et al. Smh

I swear .. Mentioning Neymar and Nicki Minaj.. What do they have to do with this ..

Monstertrucks:
You came up posting rubbish to get views on your blog and you call your elder a kid. You cannot afford an iPhone at least not yet. If you can prove me wrong so we know we are talking to someone who has his head on his shoulders

Check your comment if it looks like that of an Elder ... I have nothing else to say.. You can check my previous responses to people who feel my views were wrong. You don't just come here and type anything.

ollah1:
Frankly, i laugh when i read lines like that

Bro, if he had dropped a mature response, I won't address him as such. Look at his comments. Completely illogical.

Monstertrucks:
you cannot afford an iPhone. Show me the phone you use now!

I don't have time for kids please. Go play with your toys or something.

Monstertrucks:
NaijaTechGuy. It is obvious that you are an embarrassment to all tech bloggers. Please scrap the "naija" out of your name/blog so people from other countries don't look at this shit you posted and assume all Nigerians are this stupid.

It is clear that you have no idea what being a tech guy is all about neither have you ever used an IOS device. (Very confident you're blogging just because you think you can make cheapskates out of it.)

I am an apple products user. every of my devices from phones computers and tablets even wristwatches are Apple and I didn't just started using Apple products today so I think I know better than a boy who is writing for attention.

Let's look at the crap you posted.

1. you can't install apps outside App Store
What other apps do I need that I cannot find on my App Store? Do you even value your security? This is the reason why you android fanboys keep screaming about malwares and viruses. Because you live in nigeria and are not an important person where no one wants to hack your android device other wise you'd have known the importance of security.

2. it's difficult transferring apps from iPhone to computers that are not Macs.

How much easier do you want it to be? Do I still have to explain to you about security? You can always download documents which you don't want anyone else having from your iCloud onto your windows PC if you must use windows. Transferring music audios and videos through iTunes is not only easy but safe as iTunes scans them and rid them of their virus if any. Besides with a Mac Pro I never had to worry about viruses. How else do you want life to be easy for you without fear of hacks or attacks?

3. Accessories are still expensive
If you had bought anything expensive and quality in your life you'll know why they're expensive. You'll know why people buy designers.

4. Are we complaining about not being able to tweak our phones? Do we look jobless to you? Do you expect Neymar or Nickiminaj to worry about tweaking her phone or putting the latest custom rom? We have a perfect beautiful UI that's better than androids. All the apps design are wey better so what else?

5. OLED DISPLAY.
You won't even try to compare my iPhone 7 LCD display to Samsung's s7 amoled display, talk more the iphone x oled display. Please hold an iPhone 7 and compare before you respond to this.

6. all apple users knows that you must put your pin after restarting to be able to use fingerprint and that's what happened with facial ID on launch day. Did you even bother to read? If you knew any tiny bit about iOS you'd have known this part.


In summary iPhone is not for the poor. It's not for jobless people sitting around that are of no importance, it's not for people that are not conscious of their security. And certainly not for people thinking about the next tweak to put in their phone. You're better off buying your $100 smart phones. But don't sit behind your 10mb subscriptions on low battery phones putting trash on a blog telling lies to the public with a name that may tarnish our Nigerian image.

Cheers!

I'd respect the fact that you spent 5 minutes of your time to spew trash.. I always said Nigerians see Apple devices as a status quo that depicts wealth. Your reply is quite pathetic. I accept constructive criticism but if you feel you can type anything you want to just because you worship Apple devices, think again. One more thing, If there's one thing you should know, use Google and you'll definitely see that the so called foreigners have also called iPhones Overrated so get it into your head.

Arsasee:
You should understand that anything good at all doesn't come cheap. From the OS and built quality to the longevity of iPhone and also apple won't let the Glory of iPhone fade makes that price tag worth it. Hacker can easily gain access to Android than ios, so there is security cover more on iPhone. You should also be aware that when apple design there products they consider health and safety a priority, not to mention the crystal clear sound to less eye straining screen used on iPhones. Don't let Nigeria naira make you hate iPhone. iPhone won't seem overpriced to you if you were working abroad and getting paid in dollars.

Lol.. I'm actually getting paid in pounds from my blog so I don't actually see why if I go abroad it'll make such a difference. I've taking quite a lot of courses on ethical hacking and I'll tell you that Security is just an illusion. iOS is vulnerable as much as Android is, there's no such thing as one system being more secure than the other.

Benz4pimp:
Thanks for smartly runing away from that.....

LOL.. It's not my field. I'd rather stay quiet than say what I don't know

bjhaid:
the same Americans will sleep,queue outside to purchase it

Bro you don't compare Americans To Nigerians. We have a completely different system from theirs. They make installmental payments for the phone and most times it is tied to their Cellphone Carriers Verizon and T-mobile who take the payments monthly until they get the complete money and all Americans have to do is to Exchange their Old iPhone and add a little money on top to get the new one. it's that easy. And what happens to the exchanged iPhones? They send it down to Africa and Asia to sell and that's why you'll see a lot of iPhones that need to be unlocked from their network.

Benz4pimp:
thanks for respecting my decision but you never answered the other question asked

It's a matter of preferences. Cars and Smartphones are actually two different things maybe Autojosh can answer that better.

DavidEsq:
See ur kpangolo head. E no work jor

SonOfAfonja:
I'll rather buy a $1000 dollar phone that doesn't gimme issues with upgrading or getting malwares from unknown sources....Android is sh*t

.. Call Android Sh*t but it still doesn't change the fact that Android is the best. ... I don't hate iOS but it's definitely Overrated.

LordAdam16:
What's the new groundbreaking feature Apple has brought on the iPhone X?

AR.
FaceID, that isn't fooled by a photo unlike Android's face authentication.

I'm not saying the iPhone X is not pricey. It certainly is. But so is the Note 8/V30/and the upcoming Huawei Mate 10 Pro.

The Note 8 starts at $969 ($30 cheaper than the iPhone X). V30 starts at $830. Mate 10 Pro starts at $835.

All of these are premium devices. And unless you've been living under a rock, phone prices have been rising for the last two years. The murmurs only started last year and entered full gear this year.

If the iPhone X is too expensive for you, get the iPhone 8/8+ (after they all have the insanely capable A11 Bionic chip that destroys every other SOC in the market). If the Note 8 is too expensive, get the S8/S8+. If the Mate 10 Pro is too expensive for you, get the base Mate 10.

You can't complain that a Mercedes Maybach S600 is too expensive when you have enough money to buy a Mercedes C-300. The S600 is not for everybody, ditto for the ultra-expensive, ultra-premium line of phones. If you think they aren't worth the price tag they're demanding, you're not a customer the top-line OEMs are looking for anyway.

Because the Note 8 and V30 are already breaking sales records. While people are holding off from buying the iPhone 8 duo because of the iPhone X.

Vote with your wallet.

-Lord

Nice points.

Benz4pimp:
well,no matter how you compare,I love Apple and I am addicted to it....let them sell for 2000$,I will stick to it...Have you ever wondered why some people stick to Mercedes benz?Or are there no other brands that can offer same option?Or is Mercedes also over rated?

It's your choice and if you decide to stick to it, I'll respect your decision.

Kaybaba5:
who requested for his thought.....
even if he has money, who cares............

mtchew

I'm pretty sure it wasn't compulsory to comment on this thread

mosezky:
I think u don't know naijatechguy.......

He really doesn't.

sarutobie:
I looked at the post you quoted and I did NOT see where he was rude to anybody..I swear you Nigerians are very uncultured and disrespectful! And to think it's all because of a bloody electronic device!

It's not their fault bro. The way people worship Apple devices just makes them drop careless comments
