Get the Huawei e5573s-320 (the official MTN 4g mifi), when it's unlocked you can use it for all the 4g bands in Nigeria.
I think MTN sells it for ₦20,000 or so.
You may be able to get the unlocked one cheaper.

If you have the exact amout equivalent in dollars in your account and you wan load am to alipocket,u wud get transaction failed due to insuffiecient balance,i noticed that on a gtb card i funded to load today.

Or either gtb don increase price of dollar,i never get debit alert sha,but i am hoping its the first

You can't make use of all the money present in your account for a transaction, be it withdrawal or transfer, there should be ₦1,000 or so minimum balance after transaction, unless it's a student account that allows for zero balance .

Ruhamah23:
Thanks
it is the ROM that I am talking about, it is not up to 16GB it is just 2GB is dia anything that can be done

You most likely bought a cloned device. Nothing can be done.

seunnairaland:

jayceeabdulwasiu:
My waiting came to an end yesterday when I finally collected my xiakmi pro. The screen is touchy and smooth. I haven't manovour like I would have but I am having challenges.
1. My instant Apps are not working in background
2. The screen display blinks some times
I will appreciate any help on these

1. For everyone that experiences apps not working in the background, or to keep apps in memory,
Do the following:
Enable Developer Options Settings App > About Phone > MIUI Version > Keep on tapping till it is enabled.
Battery Settings
• Settings App > Additional Settings > Battery & Performance > Manage Apps Battery Usage > Power Saving Modes
Off : All background data & location access of apps will be enabled, All app notifications, less battery life.

Memory Settings
Settings App > Additional Settings > Developer Options
• Don't Keep Activities : Disabled
• Background Process Limit : Standard Limit
• Memory Optimization : Disabled
• Show All ANRs : Disabled
• Force-Closed Apps : Disabled
• Turn On MIUI Optimization : Disabled

Security App Settings
• Security App > Settings > Cleaner Settings > Permissions > Permission Manager : Enabled
• Security App > Settings > Clean at lock screen : Never
• Security App > Settings > Cleaner Settings > Additional Settings > Memory Clean Up : Disabled
• Security App > Permissions > Autostart : Disable unnecessary apps


Lock Apps In Memory
You can lock your desired / most frequently used apps in the memory. Open your app, let the app get launched fully. Now open the recent apps menu. Instead of swiping up to close the app, swipe down the app icon or screen. A lock icon will be displayed on the top right corner of the app icon or screen. This locks the app into the memory & wont get force killed in the background.

2. To fix the blinking problem just turn off auto brightness

Still available.

SOLD!!!

seunnairaland:
i am not sure that works anymore.. GTB has stopped all international forex transaction on their card. not sure about acess tho.

GTB still works.
They just cancelled for PayPal, Facebook and some sites.
AliExpress and some other sites still work.
Rate as of today first of March is ₦315/$.
You can confirm from Abokifx

princetom1:
GTB now 315... anyone here can confirm

for real? Let me confirm.

Theloveth:
Please how do you guys use multiple ATMs like your friends own, cuz these appeal is something else. And please can i pay using different accounts assuming the amount of money is not enough to purchase a particular good?

What do you mean by different accounts?
Different ATMs or different AliExpress accounts?
If it's different ATMs, yes, you can use different ATMs to pay for one item, but first you'll have to "transfer" the money in one ATM/bank account into AliExpress pocket, then you can use another ATM to complete the transaction.

LaconicINC:
See the error message I got trying to buy $50 coupon alipocket jus now

Is that UBA?
Apparently it only works by 12 AM

40manlappy:
Is there any Xiaomi phone with a price lower than $100?

The Redmi 4A used to be $100 exactly, but it's been increased a little.

4llerbuntu:
wonder why these prices keep going up. 4A used to be less than $100 one tine na abi?

i need something cheap, less than $100 so i can pay for it once

AliExpress will have anniversary sale on the 28th of next month.
If they increase prices now by then they can offer "huge discounts"

nadalion:
Thanks boss. The Note might not be an upgrade but the fact that its recent for me means longer update. I'm sure phones don't last forever so yea, I'll take my chances with Xiaomi. Which make of xiOmi do u use boss?

ALL Xiaomi phones get updated every year.
Even the first Xiaomi model, the Redmi 1s still got MIUI 8.2 update this year.
That's another wonderful feature of Xiaomi.
Even though they are slow with updates, all devices get updates.

I dey manage Redmi 2.
If you get me the Mi Mix no wahala.

akinis09:
just receive my phone from the post office and i most concede so far its smooth and snappy
coolpad leeco cool 1

This is the Xiaomi thread, not the LeEco thread.

Enjoy your device.

Holuwaxheun:
Does that means that, dreami store don't have the phone available for now?

Yes, sir

nadalion:
Xiaomi boss, advice.
is the "Xiaomi brand(particularly the note 4x)" a reliable brand? i want to get One.

I no be boss o.
I just got my first Xiaomi device last year.
Xiaomi devices are awesome with great specs and a low price tag so you get bang for your buck.
The only drawback is the lack of offline presence thus the lack of spare parts.
So if you wish to purchase a Xiaomi phone you're advised to purchase spare parts (screen, tempered glass, battery, maybe panel) along with it to avoid stories that touch.

Some people feel the note 4 is not an upgrade to the note 3, it's up to you to decide.

anonyguy:
Please bro where can I get Xiaomi note 3 pro special edition for 54k? I go pay you 5k extra

You'll have to buy directly from China via AliExpress.
Check this thread for procedure:

folarinmiles:
To enable it you'll need root access.
You'll need:-The latest version of WhatsApp beta (2.17.83)
-Root access
-WAtweaks
on top wetin. how many hours you go take do this one

Oga e no hard.
If your phone issues rooted just download the latest WhatsApp beta, then download Watweaks.

nurez305:
please did you know how many days it take dreami store to ship order... my order has been showing awaiting shipment for the past 5days now

Exercise patience, sir.
If the item isn't shipped after some time the order will be cancelled and your money refunded.

Tip for ordering Xiaomi phones:
Because Xiaomi doesn't have an offline presence in Nigeria, parts may be hard to come by.
If you're buying a Xiaomi device --or any little known android device -- from AliExpress you're advised to purchase also :. a tempered screen protector to protect your screen;
an extra screen so if your screen breaks it can readily be replaced, also if your screen breaks years from now getting the parts on AliExpress would be hard as sellers might not stock the item in favour of newer devices.
-an extra battery, if you so desire.

Samiceman:
Guys, received my device today and the experience is just waoh!

What device?
Post pictures and review.

How to Unsend Sent Messages On WhatsApp

I wrote previously that WhatsApp is rolling out an option to unsend sent messages: https://www.nairaland.com/3520820/whatsapp-may-introduce-unsend-option

The feature is present on the beta version of WhatsApp 2.17.83, but it's not enabled.

To enable it you'll need root access.
You'll need:
-The latest version of WhatsApp beta (2.17.83)
-Root access
-WAtweaks


How to enable:
-If your phone is rooted, download WAtweaks from here:
http://watweaks.alex193a.com
(Watweaks only works on stock WhatsApp, it doesn't work on WhatsApp mods eg Gbwhatsapp or WhatsApp+)
-Install and open the app, grant it root access
-Force close WhatsApp (Settings-->Apps-->WhatsApp--> Force Close)
-On the Watweaks application, select Enable revoke
-Open WhatsApp and you can now unsend messages.

To use it, send a message to someone, before the person reads the message, hold the message, press the vertical three dots menu and select unsend.
WhatsApp will ask you if you want to unsend the message, accept and the message will be unsent.

Note that if you unsend a message you won't be able to view the message and the message won't be deleted, it'll just show "this message Has been unsent" for both participants.

IMPORTANT
Before you start sending rubbish messages to test...
you can only unsend messages (for now, till WhatsApp enables it officially) if the person also enables the service.
If the service isn't enabled on the person's phone it'll show "this message has been unsent" on your device but the person will still be able to read the message on his device.

How to enable the old WhatsApp status
To enable the old status (not the Snapchat clone)
On the home page of the watweaks application, select "enable old status (info)"
Then restart WhatsApp.
The old status is now known as Info (on Android)
On iOS it's known as Tagline.
When it's activated it returns to it's Normal position but it's called info instead
You can change the privacy settings also in WhatsApp settings.

How to revert to the old WhatsApp UI
If you're like me and you don't like the new WhatsApp UI you can disable it if you're using an Android device and have root access.

On the Watweaks application, click the hamburger menu (just press menu), select "WhatsApp Tweaks" from the sliding menu and select "Disable new UI (Status)" then select Save.
Restart your WhatsApp and it goes back to normal pre-Snapchat clone.

For iOS users you can do all these if your device is jailbroken, just download WAtweaks from the Big boss repository on Cydia.
