It's still new . get a custom domain and run the blog for about 3 months. When you hit 1k views daily then you apply. There should be no copied content during the 3 months. Make sure your site is easy to use and navigate as well.

Today I'll be assigning "Bragging Rights" where they truly belong.
I'm tired of some smartphone companies claiming to be the first to make an innovation in the mobile phone sector when they were just the first known brand to do such. It's time to get even.

I'm delighted you could join me on the Bragging Rights Award Show ..

FingerPrint Technology
Apple was probably first company to convince the public that they needed a fingerprint scanner on their phones, but it certainly wasn't the first to put it on a handset. The Award goes to the Pantech Gl100 manufactured in 2004, that's exactly three years before Apple even made the iPhone.

No Headphone Jacks
Guess who is responsible for the present trend of leaving out the standard 3.5mm headphone jack?
The O2 XDA II (made by HTC) in 2003. Its USB port was used as a headphone port, as well as charging and data transfer.

Refocusable Photos

Every Smartphone Company is rushing into dual cameras, often used to create bokeh effects. But Nokia was ahead of them on that one, with refocusable photos (bokeh and all) in 2013 with the Lumia 925.

Slow Motion Video
Sony is king of the cameras right now with its 960fps capability, but in 2007 LG released the KU990 Viewty. It managed the impressive 120fps at 240p, not bad considering that even 30fps videos didn't have much in terms of resolution - just 480p.
First Selfie Camera
Siemens pulled this off in 2003 with the Siemens U15

Wireless Charging
The Palm Pre supported wireless charging with the Touchstone stand. Samsung started wireless charging in 2015's Galaxy S6 (the S4 and S5 had official wireless charging covers, but it wasn't built in).

Water Resistance

Water resistance is another popular feature that is quite older than you might expect. Sony achieved this with the Ericsson R310s in 2000. It had basic water resistance thanks to the GORE All-Weather material (commonly used in jackets).

The Casio Can 502S was the world's first properly waterproof phone. It was launched in 2005 and could stay underwater for up to 30 minutes..
Let's have a round of applause for the awardees. Drop your device right now and start clapping.

I said keep clapping..

I know some people will feel like doing this to me right now

There, I'm done with the bragging rights award. However, the main thing isn't about who did it first, it's about who perfected the feature.

Go through your site and see If there are broken links

Sapiosexuality:
What do you think of my blog www.mortalpoet.com?

nice blog there. I love your writing style.

Guy wait.. Did I just see Affordable Price ... You're joking. But seriously this your expectations eh.. They're off the hook. Smaller screens. The new trend is larger bezel to screen ratio so that's out of the question. Also by the Time the S9 is released, a couple of phones will already have the fingerprint scanner below the screen so it won't be a selling point, Vivo is already the first to get the technology and they'll release a smartphone with it this year. As for the dual lens camera.. It's nothing new.. In the meantime S8 + is still bae

Your blog doesn't have a niche. That's the first disqualification. Secondly get a custom domain. I suggest you get a third party template as well. You're a blogger not a news company focus on one niche. Only multi authored blogs can run multi niche sites successfully. And mind you there are many scammers on NL saying that they have adsense for sale, be careful.

This certainly came faster than we expected but right now, the world's largest social network Facebook now has 2 Billion Users.

This comes exactly 13 years after the social networking service was created, and just 5 years after it crossed the 1 billion monthly users mark.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S6j4-I_vSVM/WVSUircJD7I/AAAAAAAAJiU/AmSPjLcrur0aX3PFUhpkKfUYnopzSlnKQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

 "Each day, more than 175 million people share a Love reaction, and on average, over 800 million people like something on Facebook," said Mike Nowak, Product Director at Facebook. "More than 1 billion people use Groups every month."

Facebook is celebrating the milestone by launching a 'Good Adds Up' personalized video that you can create/edit and share

Also, "whenever you react to a friend’s post with Love, wish someone happy birthday or create a group, you will see a message in News Feed thanking you."
The Good Adds Up page also features fun facts about how people are contributing to the community.

For the past couple of months, I've been publishing posts from my phone,design my blog from my phone and many other things. I find it generally easy posting from my phone as posting on my computer is only necessary if I need to add some advanced modifications to my post.
There are a couple of Android apps that'll help you blog comfortably without having to use a computer.

1. Bloggeroid
This is a third-party blogger app but it's the best available on Playstore. It lets you place images in any part of your post easily unlike the official blogger app that places the image at the bottom of the post. You can also modify your posts with html tags and shortcodes as well.

2. Quoda
If you're looking for an app to redesign your blog,Quoda is the very best code editor. You can search for a particular line of code and modify as many things as you want easily. I've used it a couple of times in redesigning my blog. The current design on my blog was edited and arranged through Quoda but you have to be pretty good with HTML/XML to use it.

3. Your Email Client. (Gmail, AOL)
A Blogger always has to reply emails and that's where your Email comes in. You can easily reply emails from your smartphone without having to touch a computer. AOL mail adds a touch of professionalism to your emails. It requires you to create a separate email address. Unlike my Gmail address (naijatechguy@gmail.com), my AOL account is naijatechguy@technologist.com. It's looks quite professional and guess what? it's free.

4 . Puffin Browser
Puffin is one of the fastest and user friendly browsers on Google Play. One thing I love about the browser is its speed. It's ideal for blogging as it lets you view both the desktop version of your site and the mobile version. This will come in handy when you're designing your blog.

5. SwiftKey Keyboard
SwiftKey is one of the best keyboards on Google Play. It predicts the next text you'll write properly and it'll come in handy when you're writing blog posts. The fun part of it is that it'll take you less time to type with SwiftKey keyboard than other ones. So If you need swift posting. Use SwiftKey.

6. Pixabay
Pixabay is the hub of free images that are free from copyright. You can most load images for your blog post from the app and use it how you want as they are totally free to use on any blog or vlog


7. Picture Resizer
Sometimes you may get an image and it's size is almost 2MB and it'll not be ideal to post any image with such size. Although in most cases, Gzip compression helps to reduce the image size, you can still reduce it to how you want. It'll also help you reduce the size of your blog logo and set the dimensions
.
8. Social Media Apps
All your social media apps and its management tools should be in your device. Staying connected to your audience is the best thing to do for any serious minded blogger

I suddenly heard the sound of a spark and the air smelt like where incense was being burnt so I rushed into the room to check what made the sound, the home theater was still playing music and everything seemed to be okay. In the midst of my confusion, I heard the dreaded low battery sound and I remembered that I had plugged in my phone with a new charger. My heart sunk.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zl9zZKdZkFI/WUovOR108vI/AAAAAAAAJV0/MF1GmhwQqTMT6F5drbKsdoizC5311xXNgCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.gif

It was the third charger I bought in 2 weeks. Each of the chargers cost N2500. I could sense my village people dancing because of the charger. #Softwork. It was downright painful but I still had to go and buy another charger. The fourth one. ...

Chargers are the most necessary smartphone accessories that we can't do without but sometimes the chargers don't even last up to 2 months before it develops issues.It's either you have to bend the cord in order for your device to charge or the cord has simply stopped responding, it could even be charging extremely slowly.

It could even be worse ; it got burnt. In any way, there are different ways to make your charger last longer.

1.Use A Surge Protector
Surge protectors are not too expensive. These devices will help keep your charger and other home appliances safe when the Electricity Company decides to play games with your electricity.

During current fluctuations it makes you very sure that nothing will get damaged as the surge protector will handle it effectively and if anything should get damaged, it's the surge protector that'll get spoilt first which saves you from buying another charger. Surge protectors normally cost between N850 - N6000 depending on the type you can afford. I'd advise that you don't be a cheapskate and go for the cheapest one because you won't like the outcome definitely. You can get the ones from N1500 and above.


2.When Charging Don't Stretch The Charger Too Much

The essence of this is to actually protect your charging port. This happened to me once and I felt like crying. It spoilt my charging port. If you are charging your phone in a public place like a barber's shop, don't let your cord stretch across the whole place.

Someone may just walk across the shop and unknowingly match the cord and different things could happen. Your charger will definitely get weak because of this. Something worse could even happen like your charging port spoiling or your phone flying off your hands and smashing it's screen.


3.Always Unplug Your Charger From The Head
Never grab your charger by its cord and try to unplug it that way. It may work, and it may just seem like you aren’t really doing any damage, but over time the tension will cause irreparable internal damage.


4.Always Keep It Dry

Always keep it away from sources of water. Don’t charge in your kitchen, don’t charge in your bathroom, and always clean spills right away. If you follow these four rules, you'll be able to use your charger for quite a long time.


My Recommendation
If you want your Android smartphone to charge fast, I think you should get a Blackberry Playbook charger

Our smartphones are our ultimate companions. I still wonder if dogs are still man's best friend or smartphones are taking over.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d1qEWSNcx7o/WUi_YWdGgPI/AAAAAAAAJRY/TaBc0j_5ElcCX8A_4YucwD0ZgSoj5YPVwCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

From selfies to causing trouble on Facebook and sometimes being savages on twitter, keeping up with our favorite Celebs and trolling them once in a while Our smartphone helps us to all that. Apart from all that, there are a couple of amazing things your smartphone could do that you never knew.




1. Function As A 3D scanner

The Institute for Visual Computing at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) created an app that lets you scan a 3D object by simply moving your smartphone around it. A 3D model of the object appears on the screen and shows you whether you missed anything. It can also determine the absolute size of the scanned object. You can use this app to capture faces for 3D portraits or simply to copy real-world objects for later study or 3D printing.

E.g - 3DSCANN

2. Test for STDs

A dongle or attachment which performs the functions of a lab-based blood test—specifically, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)—to test for HIV antibodies and two types of syphilis antibodies can be plugged in to a smartphone. Researchers have recently tested it in Clinics in Rwanda that work to prevent mother-to-child-transmission and in voluntary counseling and testing centers. It costs just $34 unlike the $18,450 for the original ELISA equipment, this device could aid in early diagnosis and treatment of these illnesses in developing countries.

3. Give You Instant Eyeglass Prescriptions

Having issues with your eyes? Don't worry, Smart Vision Labs developed the SVOne, a pocket-sized device that can measure the refractive errors in the eye and shows you a digital eyeglass prescription on your smart phone.

The company founders want the app to be used by doctors with multiple offices or limited space and to serve patients who have problems with traditional machinery or have difficulties with mobility. It'll really work out in many developing countries where millions lack eye care. According to the World Health Organization, 90 percent of the world’s visually impaired people live in low-income settings with no eye doctors available and that uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of moderate and severe visual impairment globally.

E.g - EyeXam

4. Track Your Cholesterol Levels

Engineers at Cornell University developed an app - the Smartphone Cholesterol Application for Rapid Diagnostics, or smartCARD, to test cholesterol levels. You clamp the device, similar to a credit card reader, over your phone's camera then place a drop of your blood, sweat or saliva on the strip. Insert the strip into the device, a built-in flash illuminates the strip and an app matches the image's color values and shows results on the phone.

(app not yet available for public use)

5. Check If You're Mentally Stable
(actually assess your mental health)

Researchers at Dartmouth University created an Android app that can analyze the smartphone owner’s state of mind. The app automatically measures your sleep duration, number and length of conversations per day, physical activity, locations and time spent there, stress level, eating habits and more—24/7 and without user interaction. It uses Computational method and machine learning algorithms on the phone then assesses the data and make high-level inferences about sleep, sociability, activity, and other behaviors. The app can be used to provide real-time feedback on safety in schools and stress levels and assess the quality of teaching. It can also be used to monitor mental health, trigger intervention, and improve productivity in the workplace as well.

E.g - Mental Health Test App,


6. Help You Stay Away From Alcohol

Hey!! Don't touch that bottle of stout..

The Addiction-Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System smartphone app has designed for people with alcohol problems and sounds an alert if you stray near a high-risk location, such as a bar they previously frequented. People who used the app reported drinking less. People using the app also were more likely to consistently abstain from alcohol.

e.g - Sobriety,

7. Show You Where Gunshots Originated

Vanderbilt University's group of Researchers turned an Android smartphone into a simple shooter location system.The smartphone app uses external sensors, with the size of a pack of cards, containing microphones and a processor that detects the gunshot’s acoustic signature and exact time. The processor sends that information to the smartphone, and transmits it to other modules and uses triangulation to pinpoint the origin of the gunshot. It would work out well for the Nigerian Police.


(app not yet released for public use yet)

8. Improve Your Hearing Aid

A smartphone app could help improve the quality of life of people who use hearing aids. Most hearing aids in order to remain small and low-cost typically use small processors. Smartphones, on the other hand, have powerful processors, large memories, microphones, speakers, wireless technology and long-lasting batteries, which can improve the performance of hearing assistive devices. For example, a smartphone could run sophisticated algorithms to distinguish background noise signals and enhance speech.

E.g - TextHear, Earshots

The apps added to the posts are just examples not the exact app. The functionalities are almost the same but not exact. Most of the apps are still being tested. You can look them up on YouTube if you need more details and possibly a link
