Have you ever found yourself in this situation? Well, even if it hasn’t happened to you, it does happen. Sometime your device might suddenly start showing this annoying error of “No contacts on your SIM card”and you just don’t know how to fix it. Okay, you have removed the SIM, wiped it with your cloth and re-inserted it but the no contacts on your SIM error seems sticky. Well, I am definitely gonna make sure you don’t leave here with an unsolved problem. Nowadays, it’s normal to see a good number of people saving their contacts online on their Google account, Samsung account, Mi account or any available account that can save and sync their data. This is very good and it’s even safer, convenient, has more space but might not always be available on a new device without internet connection. Most people who come from smaller devices like feature phones must have had a lot of their contacts saved on the SIM card. Yes, and that’s why the error is just so irritating. Imagine swapping your SIM from an older phone to your Android and trying to call from your contacts isn’t possible because it’s not showing. It’s really irritating but we are going to solve it together. Let’s see some of the things you need to do if your SIM contacts aren’t showing on your Android device. Steps To Fix No Contacts On SIM Card On Android If your device or someone else’s is showing this error and you would love to fix it yourself, below are the steps or what you need to do to fix the No contacts on SIM Card error. Make sure your device is set to show all contacts including SIM contacts This is one of the first things to check to make sure your device isn’t wrongly configured. Your Android device can show either contact saved on your SIM card, Google account, phone storage, Whatsapp, Truecaller, Messenger, Samsung account, MI account or even all of them, depending on the accounts on your device. So what if you mistakenly set it to display or show just the contacts on your phone storage? Then, if it’s empty, you probably won’t see anything. So to make sure your Android device is set to show all the contacts on the SIM, phone, Google etc, follow this guide. Open your Contacts app from the app drawer. Click on the options button. Select Settings from the drop-down menu. Tap on Contacts to display Select All contacts You should now be able to see all the available contacts on your device, including those on the SIM card. You can select to show only SIM contacts, to be sure. Put Your SIM card on another phone to also check Sometimes our device might be faulty software or hardware wise. So, to be very sure it isn’t an issue from the device, look for a working device or a smaller phone and insert your SIM card properly. Go to the Contacts and see if your SIM card contacts are displaying. If it’s, very good! If it’s not, there are more things to try okay. Check your Android App permissions As simple as this may sound, it causes loud problems. If you deny any app the necessary permissions it needs to function well, it would surely misbehave. This is mostly seen on newer Android versions and is always set up at the initial setup of the device. The first time you open an app e.g camera, it asks for permissions to access important aspects of your phone. So if you deny it any, it would not work. Did you mistakenly deny the contacts/Phone app it’s birthright? Not sure? Well, let’s see how we can quickly turn things around. Go to your Settings from the all apps section. Scroll down and open Apps Select to view All apps Click on the options button or 3 dotted icons and select Reset app preferences Now go back to the Contacts/Phone app and open it. Accept or permit every action or request it makes until it stops. See if your contacts are now displaying. Note: Always accept permission prompts when opening apps for the first time so they can work as intended. Try to Import the SIM contacts This is one funny thing I noticed on some Chinese phones. Sometimes, you just need to import the contacts on your SIM over to the device and they will then show up. Importing contacts isn’t as hard as the problem we are trying to solve. All you have to do is, Go to your Contacts or phone app. Open the settings You should immediately find an option Import/Export contacts Click on it and in the corresponding prompt, select Import Contacts from SIM card. Next you have to select where to import them to. Choose Google, phone storage or what ever option that suits you. Select all the contacts(if available) and allow it to import. When done, you should now be able to find the imported contacts in the contacts list. Check your SIM Memory status Does this sound like am going off the track? Well, this could be the solution to your no contacts on SIM card issue. I have seen quite a number of Android devices showing the no contacts on SIM card because the memory is full or almost filled. You might wonder, where is the stuff in the SIM, I haven’t even saved up to the maximum contacts on the SIM. Remember that your SIM card doesn’t only save contacts? Okay, so what else does it save? Messages! Yea, it does save messages in its memory. So how do you know if the SIM memory is filled up and it is making your Android device not to be able to access the SIM contacts? Let’s quickly run through the fix. It’s pretty simple and straightforward but a life/phone saver. The first thing you have to do is to go to your default SMS/Text/Messaging app and open it. Click on the options key or the 3 dotted icons at the top right of your screen(depending on your phone type/model/software version. Select Settings from the drop-down menu. Select More Settings Click on Text Messages Select Manage SIM card messages If there are any messages saved on your SIM, it will be displayed here. You can mark all of them or the useless ones and delete them. Now joyfully go back to your contacts, the SIM contacts will now be visible. These are some of the best ways to fix no contact on SIM error on an Android device. http://www.infinix.club/ng/forum/687/849283 |

GOOGLE has deleted 13 apps from its app store for Android phones – after it turned out they were scams. The apps also posed as video games, but were actually malicious fakes designed to show you ads when you unlocked your phone. Sometimes dodgy apps can sneak their way onto the Google Play Store The dodgy apps were first exposed by Lukas Stefanko, a security researcher at ESET. He spotted more than a dozen apps in the official Google Play Store, all created by a mysterious developer named Luiz Pinto. Together, the apps had been installed on Android devices more than 560,000 times. And according to Stefanko, the apps had "no legitimate functionality". A security researcher revealed the fake apps in a Twitter post The phoney games included "Truck Cargo Simulator" and "Extreme Car Driving", but none of them actually worked. Stefanko said that after launching, the app would hide itself. Then the app would download an additional APK – the file type for Android phone apps – and make the user install it. This new APK was called Game Centre, and would also hide itself. Then whenever you unlocked the device, it would display ads. This would almost certainly generate cash for the app's developer – at your expense. A Google spokesperson told The Sun that the apps had been removed from the Google Play Store. "roviding a safe and secure experience for our users is our top priority," the spokesperson explained. "We appreciate the researcher’s report and their efforts to help make Google Play more secure. "The apps violated our policies and have been removed from the Play Store." If you've downloaded any of the following apps, we recommend uninstalling them now: Truck Cargo Simulator Extreme Car Driving City Traffic Moto Rally Moto Cross Extreme Hyper Car Driving Simulator Extreme Car Driving Simulator Firefighter – Fire Truck Simulator Car Driving Simulator Extreme Sports Car Driving SUV 4x4 Driving Simulator Luxury Car Parking Luxury Cars SUV Traffic SUV City Climb Parking The easiest way to spot the apps is if they were created by Luiz O Pinto. http://www.infinix.club/ng/forum/690/847975 |

With a myriad number of smartphones available today, it’s all a game of different designs, features, cameras, display quality, performance, battery life and numerous other things that consumers are looking for. However, what goes on beneath these mobile computing machines is equally important because if you’re knowledgeable in this aspect, then you can come close to making a purchasing decision less excruciating down the road. Looking Inside A Smartphone — Different Components 1. Display Perhaps the most obvious components of a modern smartphone is its display, and while every detail you see is on the outside, it is actually an internal component of the device. Display technologies in smartphones of today come in two main types: Those based on LCDs (IPS technology and its variations) Those based on LEDs (AMOLED or Super AMOLED and its variations) LCD vs LED On an LCD-based display, there is a backlight that is shining through some polarizers, and it is shining through some filters. And by manipulating the crystal display, you can see a boatload of different colors on the other side. What this means in simple terms is that the light is not being generated by the display itself; it is being generated by the light behind the display, and only some of it is coming from the other side. Now, on an LED-based display, the light-emitting-diodes are doing all the magic. All the pixels that you can or cannot see are being emitted by these minuscule light-emitting-diodes (also know as LEDs and they produce red, green, and blue colors). Over here, it is the display itself that is generating the different and vibrant colors. The advantage of AMOLED or Super AMOLED displays over its IPS LCD counterparts is that when a pixel is off and you can see a black color, it is not using up any battery, which is why smartphones that feature AMOLED displays are more efficient in delivering extended periods of battery life. With an LCD display, however, if you’re seeing black, the crystal display is being manipulated so that none of the light gets through. However, the light behind the display is still being generated meaning that the smartphone will be using small bits of the battery. However, one drawback that we feel the need to mention is that AMOLED panels are more expensive than IPS ones, so if you see a phone with such a display and it carries a slightly higher price tag, you will know that the display is one of the many contributing factors for that price. 2. Battery Batteries of phones normally use lithium-ion technology that are either removable or non-removable in mobile devices. With these batteries, which an important component of a smartphone, you will not have to worry about ‘calibration’ or ‘testing’ issues that were plagued with nickel-based cells. Still, this does not mean that current-generation batteries are not filled with their own issues, and users have to be very careful when handling and using volatile components like these. 3. ‘System-on-a-chip’ or SoC The SoC is perhaps the most important component present in a smartphone, and some users might confuse it as being the processor of the device. However, it is far more than that; the SoC not only comprises up of the smartphone’s CPU, but GPU, LTE modem, display processor, video processor, and other bits of silicon that turn it into a functional ‘system’ in a phone. While you might see phones touting different SoCs from Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, Huawei’s own Kirin and Apple’s own developed chipsets, they are using the same system architecture from ARM. ARM functions by not only producing their own processors and GPUs but by also licensing their design and system architecture to other companies, so they are able to use their technology to make powerful and efficient SoCs. Some companies also use architectural licenses so that they are able to make their proprietary processors for use in smartphones as long as they are compatible with ARM’s system architecture. Examples of these will be Apple’s custom-made chipsets running custom-developed Cyclone processing cores, or Qualcomm’s Kryo processors. 4. Memory and storage No smartphone can function without the use of RAM and memory (system storage). First, let’s talk about the RAM; most mobile devices are shipped with LPDDR3 or LPDDR4, while some high-end smartphones are shipped with LPDDR4X RAM. ‘LP’ stands for ‘Low-Power,’ and it reduces the total voltage of these chips, making them highly efficient and giving mobile phones the extended battery life. LPDDR4 is more efficient and powerful than LPDDR3, while LPDDR4X is the holy grail of RAM, resulting in unprecedented speeds and efficiency. LPDDR4X is more expensive to produce though, which is why you only see them in flagship smartphones. When newer generations of RAM are going to be introduced, such as LPDDR5, then you guys will see the flourishing of LPDDR4X memory in mid-ranged devices. As for internal storage, it exists as the flash memory, ranging from 32GB, and can go all the way up to 256GB on some phones. Naturally, as the requirements of users start to rapidly increase based on the amount of storage that they use, phone manufacturers will exponentially increase the amount of RAM present in smartphones. When you fire up your device for the very first time, one thing that you’ll notice is that the advertised storage is not the same value as running on the phone. For example, a phone featuring 64GB of storage will probably have between 53-55GB available for your personal use. Well, that’s because the smartphone’s operating system and pre-installed applications require that initial internal memory. 5. Modems Since smartphones are just phones at the end of the day, they need communication components to receive and send text messages and calls. That’s where modems come in, and every SoC manufacturer has their own brand of modems, and this includes Qualcomm, Samsung, Huawei and several others. These manufacturers are also battling it out to release the fastest and efficient category of LTE chips, so if you have come across the term Cat. 9 LTE modem, that is the fastest one out there. However, if your own cellular network does not support those level of speeds, then there’s absolutely no point of having such powerful chips present in smartphones. Still, companies are going to do their best to make sure they produce the latest and greatest chips of their desired category. 6. Camera All smartphones come with a rear-facing and front-shooting camera. A smartphone comprises up of three main parts: The sensor (which detects light) The lens (the component in which light comes through) The image processor While the megapixels on the smartphone are still an important part of the camera, it carries less importance than it did a while back. Instead, the primary limiting factor is the camera sensor of the phone and how sensitive it is when light passes through the lens. Remember, each sensor behaves very differently in a different smartphone, so every single image or video that you capture will be a variation of contrast, color accuracy, saturation and several others compared to a different handset. Most camera apps have manual settings so you can capture an image or video based on your own settings, but most devices don’t have such an extended list of controls. Since smartphones have small sensor sizes, they tend to perform badly in low-light areas. This is an area where camera sensor manufacturers have worked incessantly to improve considerably, but they have a long road ahead of them it appears. 7. Sensors There are five main sensors in a smartphone that allow it to give you that functionality of a ‘touch-enabled smart device’. The names of all these sensors and their importance have been detailed below: Accelerometer: Used by apps to detect the orientation of the device and its movements, as well as allow features like shaking the phone to change music. Gyroscope: Works with the Accelerometer to detect the rotation of your phone, for features like tilting phone to play racing games or to watch a movie. Digital Compass: Helps the phone to find the North direction, for map/navigation purposes. Ambient Light Sensor: This sensor is automatically able to set the screen brightness based on the surrounding light, and helps conserve battery life. This would also explain why your smartphone’s brightness is reduced in low-light environments, so it helps to reduce the strain on your eyes. Proximity Sensor: During a call, if the device is brought near your ears, it automatically locks the screen to prevent unwanted touch commands. Now that you have more information on the intricate things that happen inside a smartphone, you can judge your future purchase by comparing the various different components that are present in these modern day computing devices.

Is mobile gaming taking over from console gaming? A poll of male and female gamers by U.K.-based mobile strategy agency Tappable has found that the smartphone is now the preferred gaming device of 42% of gamers. Of the rest, 32% preferred consoles and 26% the PC. Tappable founder Sam Furr believes that ease of use is the driver behind mobile's encroachment into the gaming space. "Convenience has played a huge part," he says. "You can take your mobiles with you and dip in and out across the day. We can also present the argument for price, as smartphones have become available with affordable cash to spare.mobile gaming has also advanced almost beyond recognition with the best quality readily available and comfort too. What is your opinion on this ? Do you think mobile gaming has taken over console gaming ? http://www.infinix.club/ng/forum/693/825925 |
