Time to identify some grandpa's and grandmas here.....
In those days when our applestore and playstore used to be sedan.ru, pepperonity.com, etc. You have to know your screen size else whatever app (esp games) will most likely have compatibility issh. 3.5 g was the highest network mode then and it was for selected phones. Nokia express music was the bomb then after Blackberry and IPhone. Symbian operating os was having greta support and frequent updates then.... The list is on ending

Nostalgic! Funny how we went from those phones in the pic, to where we are now, all in just about a decade. Wow.


I am looking forward to what the next decade holds for us.

that time megabytes had value, 50mb then is like 2gb now. after waiting patiently for an app to download it tells you "Application error"... changing of your phone's date to install some symbian games showing "expired certificate"...

Yes o, cos of two reasons
1. I used unlimited glo data (currently making waves #500 for one week) and downloaded about 5 different custom roms so I want to start experimentation.
2. I recently bought mi band 4 but whenever I connect the band to my phone after about 10mins it becomes very hot and my battery drains faster than the speed of light so I want to try another rom.
pls teach me d glo unlimited stuff

Like seriously? Thought that your local one's battery time is longer than the Anker's as you previously said, I believe? Though the local ones may break down, it's possible the fault might be minor and something one can easily fix. What kind of faults is it that you noticed with the local ones?
I thought so cuz I've not really tested the anker fully then.
Bro, forget those werey speakers oo. I took it to someone who specializes in repairing it,but couldn't get a solution to it..... It started with charging problem, then went off totally few days after fixing the charging issue without any solution grin

Seriously, that was my though too as I was typing the write up. As much as I am eager to witness the next phase, it is bringing mixed feelings of how all we value now, might end up being "scrap"
Atleast witj my knowledge then... Java was prevalent at a point, before symbian overtook with a distinguishing feature of being able to minimize apps and toggle between them too. Nokia tried to do a java phone with that feature but it just wasn't it (Nokia c3-00). Then Windows os came out (pocket pc... I no even dey here of am again), and then Microsoft limia series. They were damn pricey.
"Organisers" came into being, with the ability to save contacts but didn't support sim cards, later some etih sim card support came into being, but can't call out
Blackberry came too, very expensive and subscription was 5k per month (60k per year) and many users then were not using it 5o generate revenue. Just for the fun of it, and social recognition. Different models came out in quick succession and there was always urge to "upgrade" even though the users hardly know features present in the new release, that was not in their present phones cos they never even utilised up to 30% of the functionality in the present phone. Bbm was the talk of the town, more popular that whatsapp, cos people without a pin were considered to be in stone age. Who could believe andriod phones would support Bbm now (Jahbles... Pingi... Lori Nokia. Joor o)
IOS too came out, wit iphone 3 and 4 being the reigning ones, iphone generation 3 and 4 too were in vogue (those devices could pass for an iPhone. Person go use am dey catch trips. All of a sudden, exotic java and symbian phones started to phase out and blackberry was struggling to stay afloat even as many competitors where in the market (sagem, Siemens, Samsung blues screen with antenna, alcatel, nec, etc).
Thuraya was trying to gain popularity but very pricey. Their call Tarrif na die even til present date. Some destinations charge almost N2. 50k per seconds.... Lost used by workers offshore
Andriod came, and at a point os 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 were the kinds of andriod (my tecno phantom A+ that year.... Can take a whole day to charge. E for good if backup dey last that long), now we are in OS 10. Andriod might phase out soon and a new os will be in vogue
We started too from mms (100n per page), then infrared (with short range) came into being (your village people decide to find your trouble... One idiot will shake your hand when file transfer is on 90%, and you have to go through the excruciating pain to start afresh. Bluetooth soon replace it, and then phones with both Bluetooth and infrared got launched (Nokia 3100 came to the rescued. Then infrared got scraapp, to be replaced by Bluetooth which we found as a life saver in terms of transfer speed. The "saviour" is now losing its reputation into being a detested champion as its glory is being hijacked my WiFi... Special thanks to xender.
The list is just unending. We considered our parents and elderly ones as "old school"..... Little did we know we will be that exact old school to our children in years too come. This life ehn..... Hmmmbn

Compliments of the season to you Sir,


It's on the notification bar, it's just for wireless display/mirroring/ cast. It's not useful in my opinion. Maybe because I hardly have time to Cast. And Dstv makes it almost impossible to watch anything else. But if you have love for watching selected movies without discomfort from your phone to your tv. I will gladly switch my smartview for an IR blaster. Because IR blaster is far more practical and useful. If your tv is not smart, Smartview becomes totally useless.

You do realize that the functions of IR Blaster and Smartview (Miracast) are totally different and unrelated?


Almost every Android has Miracast by default, I don't understand the fuss about this Smartview shit you've been talking about

They didn't talked about the problem I faced. The problems I faced was videos lagging, stuttering, and glitching. Impossible to enjoy watching.But now the issue is solved by almost 90%, what I did was downloading an app mirroring assistant now the videos is smooth and clear only that the voice is stuttering a little.

Ok. I thing I saw on a website while searching, that there is an app on playstore "any cast" that one is to download. Did you download it?
Does the device need to be plugged to a power source while connecting a phone display to it?
