Xiaomi is very much guilty of this shît, they took close to 5h from me every time I change my sim something would just pop up and next thing I know 50 naira gone (a service to verify mi message I think) i had to disable some system app from getting sms permission

.then stop changing sim, it's just a one time service cost per sim, for activation of mi message in order to send messages with no charges to other mi message users

Noticed on my two daughter's tecno w2 phones bought months apart pop up ad called aiboo.com will come up and open other unsolicited pages. Before you know the phones will hang because it would open over 20 pages.
I installed anti virus, no way. I formatted the phones clean, once the phone sniffed internet aiboo was up again!
I finally had to get rid of them and got Huawei Y7 prime. Very correct phone.
From this news, it is abvious aiboo.Com or what ever was causing this must have been pre installed in the hardware.

Finally a topic has been opened on this fairly used phone I have been using and it is from China. It has a malware and I can't remove it cos the instruction I could follow to have it removed is written in Mandarin

what kind of a defence is this? Why should I be afraid of changing sim on my own phone that I bought close to 100k. Xiaomi makes good products for good price but then there are other ways they make we the customers pay at the end of the day. I won't even be surprised if xaiomi is secretly collecting our data

After I updated my Tecno Spark to the lastest OS, ads continually pop up on my screen. Tecno is showing me ads directly on my screen. Making money from my own property without my consent.

Though Chinese smart phones manufacturing companies may be guilty of the allegations. Is Google not spying on the whole world? Because it came from US no one bother of that threat to their privacy...

All are the same, it'll be better for Africa to think on how to become manufacturing continent, not buyers of every finished products.

No wonder when I type 'Rotimi Amaechi' I lose 100MB. If I add 'trains' I lose 1,000MB and of course if I want to exhaust my data immediately I simply type: 'Rotimi Amaechi - Journey by train to debt captivity'.... works like magic...

What the FUCCK is wrong with the Op?

Why are u blaming China when Slot is there to blame?
Have u forgot how slot Ceo and his Igbo brethren brags about owning tecno and infinix not too long ago?

I have used a Gionee that is made for China and I didn't experience such. I have friends that have used the M4 and M6 series but didn't experience same. So if u have used one that you experienced such, I will appreciate if you state it here so people will be mindful of the phones they buy.
