Haba bros....we no thief anybody keyboard make dem no contribute na

In fact I don't even consider Huawei and Xiaomi China phones.....I put those two in the same range with Samsung, HTC, and Sony. Since they also use Qualcomm and Snapdragon Processors. It's those phones that use MTK chips I place as China phones.

Huawei phones are really solid. Have you seen their Ascend Mate 8?

its qualcomm snapdragon NOT qualcomm and snapdragon. qualcomm is the name of the company, snapdragon is the product

and huawei does not use snapdragon

Belosconi:
Can you use Apple Pay in Nigeria?
Can you use Apple's Siri in Nigeria?

you cant also use google pay, samsung pay, or cortana in nigeria.

apparently you can use itunes in nigeria but not play music(android) or grove music(windows) or even spotify.

why is nobody saying anything?

the lyrics is


Young boy with a nice flow flow
short hair but well grown
tall enough and then weigh enough to be considered as a problem
next time keep the lights on
cos his dark skin could be heads on
fortunately he's handsome
so you want some bars? you gon' get some.
hol'up this the next call to the next god
on a path to end must of y'all
rappers could not venture
i pest y'all like bedbugs, you house fly cause little harm
young warrior like David make you wanna pray in the book of psalm
for protection
the flow you hear is just a reflection
of what he has in store
you swear the lines would be raising the tension
in essence
you act the verb before i spit the sentence
grab a register and a pen in advance
cos y'all about feel his presence
this is the acronym and still there's no one testing me
so i guess it gonna take a while before you see the best of me
still i'm the best to be
and i'm closer to the top like we were friends to be
i have my fears tho
i was rapping you were saying i will never blow because of my voice
you will swear that i was good but never inch to that perfect course
self believe is what brought me here
if i listened to people like you i would probably died in fear
that i'm never gonna make it
well i guess i'm good now and you know it
the ability to be great and be the next rated i showed it
i ain't threatened by all you rapper trying hard to rap
cos i will still win even if i close my eyes and tell y'all goodnight
and i'm out!!!!!!!!

i just came across this amazing website while searching for solutions and lessons on position vector and all i can do is open my mouth in amazement, whoever built this site deserves a nobel prize. it solve all maths problems by typing the exact question and even shows workings if you have a premium account. if you hate solving maths or just need a extra help, the site is www.mathway.com
they have an app for android and iphone too...

please note this is not some kind of ad, i'm just spreading the good/bad news

let me know please + how you did it if yes.

Stanleywaxy:
Don't get me involved biko ... My head is banging right now ... You guys should continue

ForeverYoung197:
Oh yeah. I saw this Miss NL going on and actually I never voted yet. Still taking my time to read their Bio one by one. Thank you so much. I will see.

kinginvalhala4:
Ohhhh, good to know you re even aware of it.

Maybe I should tell you just a little about the contest if you re interested.

Actually, Refiner whom I'm rooting for is a beautiful young girl, youngest in the contest, she is just 18. So I would ask maybe you see and take her as a younger sis and give your whole support and vote to her instead of wanting to go through the profile of all the remaining contestants which might lead you to seeing some more qualified than her in certificate but not in knowledge nor beauty.

biko please modify your posts and move this topic elsewhere. don't derail my tread!

Tell us, let's share

For me it's
1. Unbox therapy
2. Phonebuff
3. MI Abaga
4. Phonearena
5. Vevo

What of you?

Nobody is arguing with you

Jobia:
Oh yeah sure. Remind me to take my smartphone into the exam hall next sem in place of my casio.

Lolz, you don't only solve calculations in exam hall

Collinz2:
Even though i dont have everything there i will still use them because sometimes your phone wont work as u expected, e.g the phone flashlight.

Nah I'm talking about when your phone is fully functional but for one reason or the other, you still use those specific purpose items

Personally I still prefer solving maths with a real casio calculator than my smartphone. It just feels better

lalasticlala honsule

Thankfully to the invention of modern smartphone, our phones now does a lot that would previous require you to buy a standard hardware, item, device or gadget for that specific purpose.

But due to one reason or the other people still buy these specific purpose devices....

If you are one of them, can you please tell us which of these specific purpose devices you still buy/bought, use and why you still use them instead of a smartphone.


1. Camera
2. Calculator
3. Scanner
4. Modem
5. Portable DVD player
6. Book and pen
7. Bible
8. Clock/watch

Things like this happens especially with any site that uses CDN.

Sorry. It has something to do with your ISP. We will keep investigating.

He is not the only one, only opera mini opens nairaland.com directly on mobile.

Apart from that every other nairaland links open and I use https://www.nairaland.com/home#featured to access fp

Hi, is your printing digital? And where do u stay?

anybody?

Yes we all want longer battery life, but sometimes it's not just by buying phones with bigger batteries

battery size is not battery life
I really don't know how many times I would say this, bigger battery size of course create more room for more juice but battery also majorly boils down to the phone software optimisation. If you fix the same battery size in every phone, some phones would outlast others by far margin. Example is the htc m8 windows has a longer battery life than it's android twin, Samsung galaxy note 5 has a smaller battery but yet a longer battery life than note 4. So why buy big phones with massive battery when you can buy a more compact phone with well optimised os and get equal or even better battery life.

better processors means longer battery life
as new generation of processors evolve, apart from them being more powerful, they also become more power efficient, the best processors are also the most efficient. And most phones with massive batteries are Chinese so they would be using the rather less powerful mediatek, and If a phone with a smaller battery uses a snapdragon, It means the latter might have an equal or better battery life plus you'll get a more powerful phone

bigger battery means bigger phone and screen
Phones with bigger batteries are usually bigger in size, this means you get a bulky heavy ugly cuboid in exchange for battery size(not even life), I'm still yet to see a light injoo device thats one reason I can never buy one. Even if battery life is important, nobody wants a big heavy ugly phone. I personally would rather buy a good looking device than an ugly 5000mah phone, and so as many other people.
And also bigger screen eats up more power, so a phone with a massive battery might have a bigger screen, there by the so posed bigger battery, battery life is reduced.

charge time
Bigger battery phones takes longer time to charge. Thats simple enough.

Conclusion
If you want longer power on your device, it's best to get a phone with a good battery life than buy a phone with bigger batteries, cos truly there are phones with 2000mah-3000mah that would outlast a 5000mah phone one a single charge. Or better yet get a power bank. ............

Fashola built that years ago, at obalende

Saw this very intresting article online and decided to share it! tell me what you guys think...

Google this week is holding their big I/O conference. Much like Microsoft's Build Google uses the event to talk about the future of its various – and increasingly divergent – product lines

Perhaps the biggest announcement that may affect Microsoft is the impending ability for users to run Android apps on Chrome OS. Considering there are over a million Android apps available that is a huge windfall for a cloud OS like Chrome, which up until now didn't have any apps.

We have talked about convergence before in computing and Google is approaching it from the other end when compared to Microsoft. So, does Microsoft now have something to be worried about? Yes, the do.

The rise of Chrome OS…in schools

Tech enthusiasts and consumers have mostly ignored Google's Chrome OS, but that is slowly changing. More importantly, the biggest area in which Google is having success with Chrome OS is with schools.

The reason for the rise is precisely because the OS cannot install apps and IT departments can lockdown and secure Chromebooks with ease, especially compared to Windows. Sure, Windows can do – way more – but Chromebooks offers school districts a cheap and efficient way to meet basic computing needs on a budget. In the US, where school districts are already under tremendous pressure from an electorate uninterested in infrastructure, Chrome OS is hard to shrug off.

To put all of this in perspective, more Chromebooks were sold in the first quarter of 2016 than all of Apple's OS X, at least according to IDC. A firm number would be close to 2 million units sold. That's the first time such a feat has happened and ignoring Chrome OS is no longer feasible.

The longer term story is more dangerous for Microsoft. By reaching so many children early on with Chrome OS and hooking them on Google's services, or at least familiarizing them with the tech, Google is slowly cornering a new generation of converts.

A lot of people use Windows today because it is what they always used. More often than not your first computer was a Windows device, but now that is changing with declining PC sales and the slow rise of Chromebooks. And let's face it, Microsoft has lost the youth market for smartphones, which is the one area in computing that is doing well these days.

Android apps on Chrome OS

Google announced that later in 2016 people will be able to run full Android apps on their Chromebooks. It will all be done through the addition of the Google Play Store to those devices, although schools can opt-out by not letting that happen keeping that market safe for now. Ars Technica does a very good job of explaining how Google achieved this feat.

https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/larger/public/field/image/2016/05/play-store-chromebook-liveblog.jpg?itok=E3KEiujT

The main takeaway is that developers will not have to do much to get their apps onto Chrome OS. Those apps run through containers and offer split-view and floating window app sizes instead of any awkward stretching. More tools for developers will be arriving with Android N this summer.

Considering there are 1.5 million Android apps now available including a vast array of popular games like Clash of Clans and Google has pulled off a novel trick without any severe shakeup for developers.

The "It's not a laptop" laptop problem

While all of this Android and Chrome OS stuff is impressive, there are still some perception issues that Google faces. Ironically, Google has the same problem that Microsoft has with Continuum, but from the other end.

For example, the beautiful new $600 HP Chromebook 13 looks like a full PC, feels like a full PC, but it's not a real PC. Just like how Microsoft's Continuum looks like full Windows 10, but it cannot run "classic" Win32 applications either. (However, virtualization may be the solution for both platforms.)

https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/larger/public/field/image/2016/05/hp-13-chromebook.JPG?itok=_9fcUBVm

For some people, this won't be a problem. Modern mobile computing is going towards the app model, which even Microsoft is mimicking with its Universal Windows Platform (UWP). However, a Windows 10 two-in-one or even low-cost PC still can run Photoshop, full Office, any web browser you want, iTunes, or any application your company wants you to use. Plus you now have Windows Ink, which is aiding the smart pen resurgence.

Chromebooks can't do any of that and won't be able to either. There is also the lack of security for enterprise. So, the question is Do people still want that ability to run classic, full desktop applications? If so, spending $400 or more on a Chromebook will be an issue. It's a great device until you need more and if you do need more are you going to carry around two devices?

On the flip side, if people can just use a Chromebook with Android apps then you cannot really criticize Microsoft's UWP initiative and Continuum. The one hole, however, in that argument is a big one. Google has 1.5 million Android apps and Microsoft, well, does not. Not yet, at least.

In some ways, Google here was smarter. It's easier to go from a mobile environment up to devices with larger displays than to take a legacy OS and fit it to mobile. Luckily for Microsoft, they already did the heavy lifting and Windows 10 and OneCore is basically done. Google (and Apple) at some point will need to rectify their multiple operating systems just like Microsoft.

Convergence is real but problematic

Google's move with Android on Chrome OS is momentous, but the company is facing similar market constraints as Microsoft. Consumer interest is shifting, and people want portable computing wherever, whenever with just one device and one experience.

Microsoft is attacking the problem from the desktop to mobile while Google is going from mobile to the desktop. Neither solution is perfect as both companies face significant hurdles to get there. Microsoft has almost no mobile market share, and Google's Chromebooks are just starting to be taken seriously. Google benefits from 1.5 million Android apps, but Microsoft offers the power of full Windows and real desktop applications. Plus, long-term UWP is attractive to developers especially when you throw in Xamarin and Bridges into the mix.

It's hard to say which system will win at this point.

Google does have an upper hand with market momentum, declining Windows PC sales, the rise of ARM, and 84 percent of the mobile OS market. Not to mention their ability to shape the next generation of kids with Chromebooks in schools.

https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/larger/public/field/image/2016/02/uwp-windows-10-apps-universal-bridges.png?itok=qxlWaLvh

But can Google convert regular consumers and business to Chromebooks and get them to give up real computing? I'm not entirely sure, but I do know Microsoft should be worried. Windows 10 is a bigger paradigm shift, and it can run everywhere – desktop, laptops, tablets, phones, HoloLens, Xbox, IoT – but they are up against a company playing for keeps, and this latest move from Google could undercut what Microsoft is trying to accomplish.

Folks, we're in the middle of the next paradigm shift in technology and things are going to get very interesting in the next two years. Just how Google, Apple, and Microsoft navigate this period and meet consumer demands will be an exciting space to watch. (As a side note, my colleague at Laptop, Mark Spoonauer, came to a similar conclusion).

Who do you think has the advantage? Let us know in comments what you think about the future of computing and which company will get it right

Smart people write smartly. You can go and kill yourself, I won't read this whole shii. If u think I'm not intelligent cos of that, then you're bumber than dumb can be.

hello? i wrote this article to explain in detail the information i was trying to get across. explaining in detail would not be in just a line of sentence or two lines. but at the same time the article was not ment for everybody, rather for those who wants to learn, so if you feel you know enough not to read it, simply pass by, nobody is forcing you neither is it a must to comment or say something. good day

My brother you have done well
But android to me has no disadvantage. This is my reason
1.. If are good in rooting of phones wxpectially android you can do anything with tour andriod.. I can uninstall the Facebook of the phone,just mention anything I will uninstall them.Andrios is a wizard.
2..android has the ability to operate like black berry phone .I know you understand that.
3..andriod has the ability to edit application.example I can change Avery contents of my xenda to my own.from the icon of xenda to back ground and the name itself .this only work when you ROOT YOUR PHONE..
Etc.... My brother andriod to me is the beatest for now..
Bless andrion and love andriod

lawrenceunaa:
Op why didn't u mention rooting. Rooting android help to uninstall all preintalled app using root app like kingroot.


Android is king

thanks.... you see, my problem with rooting is this. rooting is only a stressful process that helps you solve PROBLEMS THAT ONLY EXIST ON ANDROID. this in fact does not make rooting an advantage. neither is it a disadvantage

other reasons for rooting a device is are negative.

that's why i did not include it
