Okay so I'm writing this article believing I'm talking to non-tech people. I'm sure tech ones already know all/most about android

https://tchidital.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/androidlogo1.jpg

[size=15pt]Very Brief History[/size]

Android operating system is owned by Google.

Google is an American company that majorly provide Internet services. Example is "Google search" a web search service.

Google services are free and they generate their income via advertising. That's why for example YouTube (a Google video streaming service) has to load a 6 seconds advert video before you can skip to watch what you actually wanted to watch.

Google biggest rival is Microsoft. As they both have very similar services.

As at year 2005 the only service Google did not have which microsoft had was an operating system.

By then android OS was already being developed by Android INC. So Google made a move and bought the company.

Android was originally built for cameras but following the announcement and release of the iPhone in 2007 by Apple. Google had to change the direction of Android OS to mobile phones.

Take note that smart phones existed before then. The likes of windows mobile and symbain. IPhone just introduced a new era of what a smartphone should be and Google followed suit.

Late 2007 Google announced the android OS for phones and the first android phone came in 2008 with the HTC Dream.

Now Android has become the most used mobile operating system and also widely used on smart wears and Internet of things devices.

[size=15pt]Characteristics Of Android[/size]

Android is free!!!!!
Just l like any other Google platform, android is also free. Free in the sense that for a phone manfacturer to use Android OS, the manfacturer pays Google nothing I.e N0 £0 $0

All the phone manufacturer does is accept to Google terms & condition and use.

So how do Google make money from android? Google play store remains android primary and most dependable source for android apps. Therefore no android phone can do without Google playstore. Google makes money from revenue gathered from playstore through apps sales and in app purchase.
But that's not all........
For a manufacturer to preload Google playstore on their phone, they must also install everyother app for Google service e.g Gmail app, Google search, Google chrome, maps by Google, Google play music, Google photos, Google plus, Google play games, YouTube etc. This is a compulsory mandate that Google has told all manfacturers to do if they must install Play store. Therefore if you use an android phone there is no way you won't use on of these service, and Google makes money with these services via adverts that run in them. Hope this makes sense. That's the reason you see all those Google apps on your android phone. Otherwise android can work and run on its own without any Google app or service. Android has its own browser, gallery, email, and so on. And a android version running without any Google service is called "forked android"

Well Android also being free has helped the operating system grow popularity among manufacturers in its early days, who does not like free things? So when iPhone was released, virtually every other phone was in trouble. And Google comes along and say, hey here is android that can help take your phone towards the iPhone direction, and it's free! That would save the company more money than building a new OS. And it was more reasonable to build your own OS than paying licence for someone else own that is nothing good. But is free so let's use it. One more thing is it was also open source! What's that? Check next paragraph.

Android is Open Sourced
This is one part so many people get wrong. Even before I understood it, it took a while. So I would try to explain it into very minute detail.

What does "open source" really mean?
It means you can take a project of someone else, edit it and make it better for your use. That simple. Please if anybody tell you any other thing apart from this, the person is wrong.

To further break it down. Let's assume I'm a programmer, and I made An app that displays "welcome" the code I would write in Java language is

Public static void main(Strings []arguments) {
System.out.println( "Welcome" ) ;
}

I hope I got the code well anyway, the code of an app or operating system is called the source code. Buy the time I compile and build the app, you would only see the app run and display Welcome. But you won't see the source code or know what I wrote. If I make my app open source, it means I have provided a site where you as another programmer can download the source code for my app, edit it and make it better for your use. I use the word download cos written codes are saved as files, these files are then packaged in a zip folder. So when you download, you unzip and open the files with an editor or IDE. An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides facilities to computer programmers for software development.

Therefore you can now edit my code to make your own app display something else like "you are welcome" and build the app again, you can even rename the app if you want. That is what open source mean!

So back to Android. Android was not built from scratch. no. Android is based on Linux OS. Meaning Linux source code was edited and android was born. Meanwhile Android itself was left open source, meaning the source code of android can be downloaded and edited to make the operating system even better for your use. Android itself Released from Google is called stock android, any other edited version of android what so ever is called custom android. Stock android most times comes with Nexus devices. Nexus phones are built by various manfacturers under contract from Google. For example, Nexus 1 was built by HTC, Nexus 3 by Samsung, Nexus 4,5,5x by lg, Nexus 6p by hauwei. Other phones that run stock android are android one devices like infinix hot 2 and Google play editions of flagship android devices.
Virtually every other phone runs custom version of android. Like Samsung phones android was edited and called "touchwiz", HTC called it's own modifications "sense", infinix also named their customised version of android "XUI". However there are companies who also make custom versions of android but do not build phones, instead they build this custom versions to work on already existing phones. Example and the must popular of them is cyanogenmod.companies like cyanogenmod , creates custom versions of android for specific phones and release it as ROMs free to anybody who wish to flash their device with a new custom android. Some new manufacturers has decided to even preload cyanogenmod on the phone they make. Some other companies even went as far as renaming their custom versions of android as a new OS e.g colour OS, oxygen OS. While some completely forked android to create almost a new operating system, e.g Amazon fire OS

Open source characteristics of android added to the reason why it was rushed by manufacturers. So instead of building a new OS, they just take android and tweak a few things in it without paying a dime.

Android versions are named alphabetical and after foods
Yes. You might have not have noticed. Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were not released under specific code names, but since April 2009's Android 1.5 "Cupcake", Android versions have had confectionery-themed code names. Each is in alphabetical order

Code Name .... Android Version .... API Level

A_________ ...... 1.0 ..................... 1
B_________ ...... 1.1...................... 2
Cupcake ......... 1.5 .................... 3
Donut ............. 1.6 ..................... 4
Eclair .............. 2.0–2.1............... 5–7
Froyo .............. 2.2–2.2.3 .......... 8
Gingerbread ... 2.3–2.3.7 ........... 9–10
Honeycomb ... 3.0–3.2.6 .......... 11–13
Ice Cream Sandwich..4.0–4.0.4 .... 14–15
Jelly Bean ...... 4.1–4.3.1............ 16–18
KitKat........... 4.4–4.4.4, 4.4W–4.4W.2 ..... 19–20
Lollipop .......... 5.0–5.1.1 ............. 21–22
Marshmallow .. 6.0–6.0.1 ............ 23
N .................... Developer Preview 2

People assume N would stand for Nutella, hmmmm.

Program languages
Android is written in C language but it's apps are written in Java language. Android uses XML as it's mock-up (front end) language. I know say Na only developers go understand this part. If you are not one, u don't need to bother understanding it.


[size=15pt]Advantages Of Android[/size]

Too Many Features
Android has the most features when it comes to mobile operating system. Android first ever version already had more features than iOS and others at that time. This is one way Google believed to win customers heart. And it kinda worked. Tons of new features are added to android with every update.

Too Many Apps
Google play store has more apps than any other app store in the world. This is due to the popularity and the attention the OS got in its early days, plus because it's free to publish apps in Google play store unlike apple app store where developers pay $99 to publish their app. Again android apps where written in already very familiar language........JAVA.

Too many Options
When it comes to customisation, android is king. You can change almost everything in the OS, from as basic as wallpapers and sounds, you can change the colour shape and overall look of anything, or change the way apps or the OS it self works.you can also change system values too like imei number.

[size=15pt]Disadvantages Of Android[/size]

Bootware
Recall I mentioned that if play store must be installed all other Google service follow suit. That's 1. 2. Some manufacturers now even added more pre installed apps that you may never never use. These has made android phones to have to many installed apps at brand new. to make things worse, these cannot be uninstalled. For example I buy an android phone that have Facebook pre-installed, and I don't use Facebook, now I have 1 app I don't use and can't uninstall.
Imagine a brand new Samsung phone even brand new s7 has
Samsung browser ----- Google Chrome
Samsung Store ------- play store
S voice ----- Google now
Email ----- Gmail
Music ----- play music
And so on...... That's how Samsung and most Android phones have 2-2 apps like that. And you can't uninstall non.

Very low device support
Truth is if you buy an high-end android today, after two years you'll be forgotten by the manufacturer and Google. If you now buy a low-end phone, you'll be forgotten one you step out of the store. Unlike android competitors(iOS & Windows) that provide long term support for their devices and provide software updates for them as long as they can run it without issues. Google and android is yet to get to that level. Google it self only provide support and push updates to Nexus devices within two years. Other manufacturers manage to do the same for their flagship devices only, which might be just 1 phone in about 3-4 phones they release per year, depending on the manufacturer. These other devices might never ever get software updates.

it's free and open source
Well, even if this is a characteristics of android that had helped the OS to grow. Many other manufacturers had used this to big disadvantage for android as they produce substandard devices and sell as "Android" puts one or two components together and install android, they even make clones and fakes of other devices and still install android, this has tricked so many people to buying clones, fakes and substandard phones and tablets. Some manufacturers edit the OS and add bootware that acts like malware and cannot be uninstalled or even disabled. For example, the phone I use has an app called "alarm controller" so it make you not suspect the app. When I'm connected to the internet, the app pushes full screen ads to my phone, it just comes up any time. It creates web shortcuts on my home screen, places ads in my notification, and even go as far as downloading and installing many apps (not 1, not 3, not 7) in the background the last time it did that, after install 5 apps, and I disconnected from the internet, it brought notification of 14 failed apps downloads. Now worst of it is, you can't uninstall the app, you can't disable it, you can't restrict background data, plus the app has a different name in data usage apps. So now I dont even buy data any longer on the phone. And it's not just my phone, I've also seen other people android phones that ads just show up on the screen.

[size=15pt]Future Of Android/Conclusion[/size]

Android is not yet near perfection, the OS is already very successful and still looks very promising. I'm one of few that is not really fascinated by android (I still prefer iOS) but Seeing android N preview, I was impressed to be honest. So android is the most popular and to some people the best mobile os and It still have a lot to offer, and I know with time Google work fix issues with android OS.

[size=15pt]Thinking of buying and Android Phone?[/size]
Here are the best and popular Android Phones in the market right now, in no particular order.

1. Samsung galaxy S7 / S7 edge
2. LG G5
3. HTC 10
4. Hauwei P9
5. Google Nexus 6P by Hauwei / 5X by LG
6. Blackberry Priv
7. Sony Xperia Z5 / Z5 compact / Z5 premium
8. OnePlus Two

greenhulk:
Both of them suck. U already have the best android browser as stock on ur phone which is chrome browser. People just have this feeling that default is not good enough.

Unless u prefer to compress ur web pages that is where opera comes in. And I see no reason why someone would choose uc browser over chrome except when downloading. If u open 7 tabs on uc and navigate away to another app just for a few minutes , by the time u return the app would have closed and start afresh thereby closing all ur tabs. so whats good about that?

Chrome is truly the best browser on android but fails at some aspect too. Eg opening multiple pages in tab. Some would close and you have to reload the page when you open the tab. Opera does this too. But I've never experienced this with UC browser. Plus chrome frezzes at times when scrolling through an heavy page.

Truth is when it comes to mobile browsing. Add all browsers on android and times it capabilities by 5. It would not still be better than safari on an iPhone

Storyline!!!!

This is what made nfs carbon better than nfs most wanted even if MW has better graphics

Carbon has a better gameplay too.

For sport games, omo its graphics o. Cos poor graphics can be frustrating. Imagine referee obstructing my player movement in fifa. That can never happen in pes
Plus neymar resembles monkey in fifa

jejemanito:
The silence of viewers of this thread is deafening

That says a lot about your write up.

>>6 reasons why you should not upgrade to hot 3<<

Joeyjones:
@op what do u mean u prefer infinix zero 2 to 3

infinix zero 3 has some actual improvements over zero 2. but sometimes great specs is not everything, great phone is! zero 2 is more compact, lighter, and better looking. all those new features added in zero 3 does not buy me. zero 2 specs is well to do with.

https://infinixmobility.com/wp-content/uploads/images/x510-kv-1.jpg [img]http://2.bp..com/-4aIinkGb0r8/Vv6OSWuSNAI/AAAAAAAAQ7k/yA7ozqwoWRgMPyo3iuJCD8QRGtK3LCbGg/s1600/infinix-hot-3-phones.jpg[/img]

Call it the worst successor ever! but if i was using an infinix hot 2 previously, i cant move to hot 3 cos its not worth it at all!!!

how?

1. Software Version
First thing i notice is that Hot 3 is not an android one phone!! can you imagine? this means that while hot 2 is already running android android 6.0 marshmallow, infinix hot 3 runs 5.1 lollipop! yes what is even worse is that hot 2 might receive android N (if you've seen the video of the preview features, you'll love it!) if the final build of N is released within 2 years after hot 2 was released, while hot 3 may never pass 5.1, yes infinix is that dumb....

2. Price
Still on Android one, the partnership helps reduce the price of the phone, so while hot 2 2GB variant went for N20,000 at launch, hot 3 1GB goes for N27,000? yes! OK now lets see if it actually offer better specs

3. Bigger screen and battery
the first thing infinix might want to use to win our hearts is bigger screen and battery...hmm.. a bigger battery is fine but since there is also a bigger screen, it only means you might not notice much difference between the battery life of hot 2 and hot 3, because bigger screen means bigger power needed to power the screen, get? you might only notice the longer battery life if you don't so much use your phone its always in standby mode. and that's so unlike me. plus bigger screen and battery also means a less compact phone plus much heavier phone, and all i need is a phone, not load!!! and we all know infinix love bezels like they got married to it so your pockets might not find hot 3 friendly or even your palm especially coming from hot 2.I'm also not a fan of big phones(with 5-inch as max unless it got some really tiny bezels) therefore infinix is driving customers like me away! its fine! there are hundreds other OEM

4. The Same Screen resolution!
hot 3 shares some of the same specs with hot 2...yes...first is screen resolution! they both have 1280 x 720P what that means is, picture quality on hot 3 is actually lower cos it has a bigger screen, so the PPI(pixel density) of hot 2 is 293.72 PPI while hot 3 is 267.02 PPI which is lower! but you know infinix na, they would always come up with one lie just as they said this for hot 2 and i quote "Infinix Hot 2 has a large 5.0 inch display screen with HD resolution (1280*720P). The color performances and the incredible brightness of this screen make Hot2 a great device for gaming and video experience." and we all that used it know how far....now they said this for hot 3 and i quote "he 5.5-inch screen features full-laminate GFF technology for 1.2mm high precision processing, which prevents glare while minimizing distance between glass and screen for exceptional clarity and vivid picture quality. Coupled with Multi-Touch 5, it is a truly responsive experience." and I'm like, who are they fooling? remember its just a 27k phone. expect nothing fantastic, but they made it sound like it was!

5. The same Processor, Ram and memory and camera
The same 1.3 GHz MediaTek Quad-core processor, the same 1/2GB ram, the same 16GB Rom at a higher price! on paper the performance of both phones are suppose to be equal but no! because hot 3 runs a custom skin unlike hot 2 that runs stock google android the hot 3 might turn out slower! and lagging behind the hot 2 in performance! it also shares the same 8 mega pixel behind camera but i want to believe they would be an improvement in that aspect.

6. From on-screen buttons back to captive buttons
Who does this? only infinix, many mobile users around the world has accepted on-screen buttons more than captive ones, and infinix dare goes from on-screen buttons in hot 2 back to captive buttons in hot 3, infinix really??

That's all for now(at least till its in the market), if you consider non of this an issue, then you can go ahead to purchase the hot 3 but for me, i can't, ill rather but hot 2, just also as i would rather buy zero 2 than zero 3. infinix is kinda not getting it right this time.

How To Install Google Play store On Remix OS
Note that you’ll want to do this while running Remix OS in resident mode. If you run in guest mode, anything you do will be erased after you reboot you PC… and since the instructions require a reboot, that means there’s currently no way to install the Play Store in guest mode.

1. Download the GMSInstaller.apk from the xda-developers forum

2. Click the downloaded file to install it.

3. Run the GMSInstaller app.

4. Select “One-click to install Google Services.”

5. After the Google services are downloaded and installed, open the Remix OS Settings app and go to Applications, find the “Manager Applications” option, and then choose “All.”

6. Scroll down until you see Google Play Services, select it, and click the “Manage space” link, and click the “Clear All Data” option on the next screen.

7. Find Google Google Services Framework the same way, and this time just click the “Clear Data” button.

8. Reboot Remix OS.

That might be all you need to do. You should see the Play Store in your app menu, and the first time you run it you’ll be prompted to login with your Google username and password.

Some users have found that you may also need to change the time zone in the Remix OS settings to match your current location before you can actually download and install apps. Others have noted that you may need to update Google Play Services by opening a web browser, searching for Google Play Services, following a link to the Google Play Store, and then clicking the update button.

Hey guys! so i found out about REMIX OS some weeks ago, watched some videos and loved it and since then wanted to try it out. well things did not go so well like i thought it would.

WHAT IS REMIX OS?
Remix OS is Android OS re-designed to work and look like a regular PC operating system like windows. The custom OS was based on Android x86, a previous Android custom OS already made to run on PC, Android x86 installation was what i shared two years ago.

How to install REMIX OS
First you should know This is an alpha version intended for developers and early adopters who don’t mind a bug or two or five or fifteen or three hundred on twenty seven

you'll need:
1. USB flash drive
2. A working PC
3. Internet connection
4. a phone that browse, so you can open this page on it, and keep reading.

STEP 1
Head over to Remix OS for PC site HERE and download the package. scroll down and tick the box that says "I am a developer and have read the above message" Then click on the first download i.e Remix OS for PC Package (Legacy). The file is 688mb but after downloaded and extracted, it becomes 2.10GB. you can Download Torrent you prefer that and you have a torrent manager like utorrent to download the main file.
https://i.imgur.com/gVzvL3G.jpg
After downloading and extracting the package you should find 3 files inside which are:
1. How to Launch Remix OS for PC.txt
2. Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016011402_Alpha_Legacy.iso
3. remixos-usb-tool-B2016011401.exe

the first is a text document file, the second a disk image file, then the third an application. i know you're suppose but i just had to add it for the


STEP 2
Insert the USB drive you want to use, preferably empty, then run the application(3), in the first box that says "ISO file" click browse and browse for and select the disk image file(2). then click on the box that says "USB disk" and select the letter path assigned to your USB flash drive. Then click "OK". the process might delay a little when it gets to 93%, just chill . when its done, click on reboot now to try it immediately or exit to reboot later (that if you are using your system at that moment and you cant just afford to shut it down).
https://i.imgur.com/k4CAv5L.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/psewKfi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/vBIgnDV.jpg
But lets assume we all rebooted now. your system should boot from the USB drive and you should something like what is in the picture below asking you to choose between "Resident mode" or "Guest mode".
https://i.imgur.com/gDQxNvW.png
If you've seen this proceed to Step 6. If not, proceed to Step 3.

STEP 3
Make your system boot from the USB flash drive by taping f12 on your keyboard before it begins too boot and selecting the USB drive. on some systems it is esc key, then f9. whatever your system brings out, just find your way to boot options or google it out. if you can see the what's the the image above now, skip to step 6. if not, go on to step 4.

Step 4
after the above step, your PC should boot from the USB Drive but might not show anything or write "no operating system found" or any other error at all. don't worry, just remove the USB and forget! just KIDDING!! .... Unplug the flash drive and start up the system, now head over HERE and download "Universal USB Installer" by clicking Download UUI
https://i.imgur.com/5U6d3MG.png

Step 5
plug the USB drive back run Universal USB Installer click "i agree" and "Create", then at step 1 choose "Try Unlisted Linux ISO", step 2 browse to the iso(2), Step 3 choose your flash drive from the drop down menu. its advisable you tick the box that says we would format the drive, you can only ignore it if you have valuable files on the drive you don't want to move or delete. Then click create, Click "yes" on the next dialog and wait for the installation to complete. in the process it should close file explore, open 7z to extract the files, when done just close.

https://i.imgur.com/Yjey4n9.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/hshpTKi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/JPApfgu.jpg

NOW RESTART if you see something like the last image in step 2, proceed to step 6, if not go back to step 3. if after the above steps, you cant still see it, then you are not following the steps well or maybe you system was made in 2000

Step 6
https://i.imgur.com/gDQxNvW.png
Resident mode means the system would store anything you do on the OS, like settings and apps and files, usually takes very long to boot up at first time.
Guest mode means nothing saves! so no matter all the files you transfer into it, and settings you change, they all wipe when you restart the system. and its much faster to boot up.

Now its left for you to choose one and press Enter! at this point the OS should start booting up! if yours booted, you should see some sort of terminal/CMD ish, then android x86 logo, then Remix OS logo glowing and dimming indicating its booting.

now the truth is not every system would pass this level. My own personal system is very old (came with windows vista) it did not even show android x86 logo before it restarted over and over again...same thing. i tested it on two other systems which go tho Remix OS logo and stayed there like forever, did some research and found out it sometimes boot into guest mode but hangs in resident mode, and select systems it works on... Bottom line, IT DOES NOT WORK ON ALL SYSTEMS. until i came across a system using Intel i7 and then it worked perfectly. now I'm not saying you must use a system with i7 before it can work, and there are no really specification requirements anywhere on the web for remix os, so until you try it, i don't know if it would work on your system or not!

if yours booted fine, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! if not, here is a heart for you to take https://pngimg.com/upload/heart_PNG691.png

For the lucky ones you should see some stuffs at first just click OK, accept, skip or whatever comes out. The image below is the desktop screen of remix OS on the system i used. mind you, i already changed the wallpaper
https://i.imgur.com/z4R6rbV.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/SbKw07d.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/0DZDZ1k.png
https://i.imgur.com/NZLl548.png
sh*t! that game is impossible!!!

Step 7
you would notice your mouse is misbehaving, just click "settings" then "language & input" then scroll down by holding and dragging or use keyboard direction down to mouse/trackpad and click on pointer speed and reduce the speed to a level you are comfy with.
https://i.imgur.com/KugDmmJ.png

ENJOY!!
remember the OS is on the flash drive and not your PC

but then.............
HOW TO INSTALL APPS
you can install apps by inserting an external drive with apk files in it into the extra USB port and just click to install. Or download (if you are connected to the internet via WiFi), you can also receive files via Bluetooth. after installing flashshare/xender you can use it for file sharing but advisable to join network instead of hosting.

A new prank is making the rounds on Twitter, Facebook and other social platforms. In a nutshell, people are sharing links to a website that crashes almost every browser you try to load it in.
The website is intuitively called CrashSafari.com, and it does what its name suggests and even more. In fact, we tried to load it up in Chrome and Firefox on Windows, Chrome on Android, and each browser crashed. In some instances, such as Safari on the iPhone and iPad, the website can cause a complete reboot of the device. Funnily, the website doesn't do its trick when opened in Internet Explorer 11.0 on Windows 8.1.
Obviously, we want you to take our word on this and avoid going to the website. Unfortunately, however, it looks like social media pranksters are running the address through URL shorteners and maliciously include it in apparently unrelated posts. From the looks of it, the pranks are succeeding: one of the shortened URLs was visited more than 100,000 times, and we're sure that many other similar links exist.
On the upside, the misbehaving site does not pose a security risk. It does not steal your data, It does not contain worms, trojans or other forms of malware. It just crashes your browser. At the most, it reboots your iPhone or iPad.
Given that this page can crash all the browsers that you can think of, you might be inclined to anticipate that the code behind it is complicated, right? Well, it turns out that it's not. The page only consists out of a header and a Javascript code that continuously calls the HTML5 History API, a programming interface that allows websites to change the URL of the page without hitting refresh, in a loop.
As a matter of precaution, you might want to think twice before following any short links. The prank is likely to fade into obscurity as days pass.

Hmmm....taking note...

udmbat:
you live in Lagos, go to other states and see for yourself. I told you MTN are only concerned about hot areas. Travel to your village tomorrow and see how better glo & etisalat are

Dude my mom went to her village (oke in edo. State) last december and only MTN was active so shuuuu.

Ochs:
helo, pls i wnt 2 buy either a phablet or a tablet, pls do u any fone dealer dt cn sell a gud fone and at a gud price? tnk u.......

I don't have, but go for a phablet

udmbat:
I get confused when friends tell me they can't afford to dump their MTN lines all because it is their hot lines. Suprisngly most of them still insist that they can't let go even after the queuing and shouting at the various MTN service centres nationwide to complete the registration of their blocked lines.

I've read the whole rubbish you wrote, so you decided to act for your friends abi? Like say they lining up dey pepper you for body. I'm angry, you wrote completely trash, even lawma would deny that this can't be left for them.

MTN has a poor network coverage outside cities and big towns, their 3gservice is limited to only Busy areas across the federation. Their call rates are the most expensive and people still care so much about them. Most of their Highway sites have no GSM and 3G antennas but only PDH links used in moving traffic.

MTN has the best network coverage amongst ALL networks in nigeria, FACT!!! All networks including internet providers, any network at all, name it! Where I stay in Ibeju lekki, MTN was the only network that had 3G service, until Glo joined about 2 years back. Till date, from my house, you can only find EDGE on etisalat.
Another fact is, MTN has the cheapest call rates!!! You know your problem? You don't use MTN so how should you know? I use GLO on my BB and MTN on my smaller phone to call! Cos their call rates is cheaper and network coverage! I could had easily port to glo, its not that hard. And your last line does not make an atom of sense. Infact I'm beginning to think you have a personal spiritual problem, MTN is not your problem.

Nothing is special about them except that they make huge financial profits yearly

Oya tell me, which company does not have make huge financial profits yearly? Ehn? Maybe starcomms(that is if they still exist)..but the profits starcomms makes can still send your entire generation schooling abroad.
Forget profit...cos na watin all of dey look, nobody looks at expenditure!
Each network mast are powered by diesel 24/7, now imagine buying fuel for your I pass my neighbour generator to be on 24/7. And this people do that on plants, where you can have about 5 in an small area x the thousands around the country, imagine how much these network companies spend to run their services in Nigeria, and MTN having the widest coverage, they spend far more than any other network provider. You do the maths. You think we are doing MTN a favour by using it network?

It is high time people exploit the portability option which enables you to change your service provider and still maintain your number e.g using your 0806 and 0803 on Etisalat or Glo. These other service providers have cheaper call rates, better network coverage, faster internet speed at a cheaper rate across the nation even in the village and also various Bonus offers for every recharge. Port your line today and get that long awaited liberty.
ADEGOKE.

SMH for you BIG TIME!! You so think people using and staying with MTN are fools? Etisalat that has high call rates less coverage or Glo that has one the worst customer care service ever from any company at all in the whole world, very complex and confused network, they only have cheap data plans and internet speed. But MTN data count is still the most accurate in Nigeria.

MTN is not perfect but at least the got many things right compare to any other network. And I've used all the network and still have sims for them all.
I've never had a single issue with registering of sim since I registered my mtn in 2013. But my etisalat was blocked after the deadline, and I registered it!

I did not mention airtel at all cos airtel is not even a network in the first place, very terrible.

Dude stop hating please.

I hope nairaland Crashes

greenhulk:

walescounis:
Did you load the OS on a Flash drive or Memory Card?... And what's the size?

On a flash...I even tried it with virtual machines...

Its over 2GB in size but compress to appox 700MB to download (in zip)

lanre316:
I think I will wait for Remix OS (you Google about it) to go mainstream. Then I'll have a dedicated ( or dual boot) laptop for Android apps.

Or run in in a virtual machine

augster:
do you read at all?


Phoneplanet pls help me enlighten this guy

Lol

kolexepana:
I actually have that app on my c8, but don't know what it works for.

Dude, you might had mistaken Blustacks for another app on your phone

Bluestacks is an app for windows OS that works as a virtual machine hosting Android Operating system, making it possible to run android apps on your windows powered machine.

walescounis:
Ever Heard bout REMIX OS??

Yh...been trying the os on some systems, it does not go beyond the booting screen showing "remix os"

bizie:
Lalastical what do you think?

I think its rubbish....as in you wrote rubbish

Hahaha @ the second pic

Phones has smaller screen therefore higher PPI (if both the phone and the phablet has the same screen resolution) therefore, picture quality is better on phones...

Battery also depends on chipset and optimisation, so most times phones might turn out to have better battery life...

Third point has no point....
And there are no such extra features that can exist in a phone...

Honsule, lalsticlala. I tried to put this together.

Let me guess...you just bought another tab...

Joel3:
I. have two card and one is idle I can't copy to the other as I will all need to insert the two before I can copy to the other instead

That is not enough reason..
