Only snacks and drinks. I can never eat solid food in public transport. The only exception is if I am travelling in a luxurious bus and I am given food, then maybe I'd eat, also if I am in a private vehicle.

Lawalmd: guy try to use your imagination small nah haba
what is the self timer for if not for self portrait

lol! Maybe my imagination no reach that side sha. But I am sure that phones that come with dedicated camera button had a reason for adding it. Anyway, I had a reason for asking, @Deejay did you just say the E3 comes with 5MP front camera? Wow! Even Zopo C2 does not come with a 5MP front camera. That will be a first.
Anyway, this thread is fun to be...that is why I am here.

judajix: u guys shld frget abt ds guys dat dont like tecno......me flexim my own.....d 3rd whatsapp grp is getting filled already 08181884895

Larrybillz: dia z nothing like camera key on ds fone..it has just d two volume keys n a lock key on d ryt Syd of d fone....xo I don't get it

Sorry, but there is seriously no dedicated camera botton on the phone? Wow! How do you guys take selfies then?

I just hope Beverly is strong enough to withstand what is going to come her way in Naija. I also hope she has strong willed people who will help her when the time comes. I don't know why 'Goldie' keeps coming to mind whenever I see this girl. I kinda feel for her, and she is just 22. Ouch! That is really bad. I hope she will be able to utilise her 4-minutes of fame.

I see what you guys are doing here...good work guys...I think! But take it easy oooo. No be everything una suppose try na. No go brick the phone ooo. I think you should put a caveat like 'do not try this at home, if you cannot do it'...

deejay_harry1: pls just two question for u guys,, is TECNO a chinese telecom or not??


two.. if its a chinese telecom, do d chinese know and recognize dis guys?? or is dis phone only recognized in nigeria??

THNKS GUYS

lol! Where do I start? I hope you know the meaning of Mainland China and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore etc. Why will Tecno say that 'designed in Hong Kong and assembled in China', is it possible to say 'Designed in Lagos, and assembled in Nigeria', it does not make sense.

So, because Tecno is not recognised in China means that we should not buy it; I am sure you know how Julius Berger became a household name in construction and how they began in Nigeria. If you read the link @Gravitiser posted, it was stated that Tecno is focused on the African market. Don't you think that is a market strategy?

Anyway, there is no basis for the argument atal. I know you guys want to bring Gionee here, which I don't give a damn. I wonder why you guys are carrying phone issue on your head. It is not as if we are talking about laptops, cars, jobs etc. Just ordinary phones! I am happy that more Chinese phone markers are entering the Nigerian market. It makes room for competition, at the end the consumers will make their choice. So, bros, chill! We are on the same boat.

RIP!!! May God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss. It will be painful, but they will have to be strong and continue to trust in the Lord. I hope the elder sister's faith will not wane because of this issue. People are just wicked! It is one thing to take what does not belong to you, but it is another thing to take a life that belongs to no one else but God. The battle belongs to the Lord and he will fight for his own.

Gravitizer: just like the Dream D1, although the D1 had 16GB inbuilt and a card slot. But the E6 Unibody build is a plus to it

Mr. Man, small small na. Who said the D1 came with 16GB rom? The D1 comes with 4GB rom ooo, that is what gives the E3 an upper hand, the other is the non removable battery in the D1.

Gravitizer: I'll seal it up with sum proves

PS: Its funny how sum ignoaramos dnt even knw the manufacturer of the phone they carry on their heads as if the company is owned by any of their relatives.

Well I am not here to argue with you, but based on the link you posted, it just confirmed what we have been saying...Tecno began in Hong Kong. The only issue here is the perception of Nigerians and nothing more. If you are true to yourself, you will agree with me that Tecno phones had always stood out compared with other chinco phones that was produced years ago. It was kinda the only branded Chinko phone then. It succeeded in making a name for itself. Anyway, whatever makes you sleep well at night. The phone is cool, and I am proud to bring it out at work, and there is no time I bring it out that colleagues don't ask to see the phone. At first they will make fun of it, but when they hold it, they fall in love with it.

The only problem with The A+ is the price.

Gravitizer: Can u prove it
I giv u a decade 2 cum up with an answer... What do u see @ the back of an Iphone?(Assembled in China) implies it was not built 4rm the scratch in China. Now what do u see @ the back of a Tecno phone? (Made In China) implies it was built 4rm the scratch in China, design and everyfin abt the phone. Tecno is a Chinese Brand.

Dnt just Talk it, Walk it!!!

Bro. If I can deduce what you are saying here, you said that Iphone was assembled in China but was designed in the U.S, that means Iphone is not a Chinese product, but was just assembled there. I want to infer from your statement and conclude that Tecno is not a Chinese product but Hong Kong's. It is boldly written at the back of the F7, 'designed by Tecno in Hong Kong. Assembled in China'....so...Tecno is technically not a Chinese phone...lol....BTW, Hong Kong is part of China, but it is an autonomous region, just like Australia and the UK, also like China and Taiwan....like Singapore and China etc.

What is the use of the argument sef?

marcjoe: that's a fat lie...the phone charges from 0% to 100% in 3Hours when u leave to charge without pressing at all....but when pressing d charging rate is really slow..tecno improved after the charging blunder in phantom a thats actually take 5hours to full...
na d phone i dey use so i know WETIN I dey talk...

do you make use of the follow come charger? Actually mine takes between 3hours 30 minutes to 4hours 30 minutes. I usually charge it overnight, and it shows the amount of time it will take for it to charge when you plug the charger... Or am I missing something here?

jubrealguy: based on a month's experience, it takes NOTHING LESS THAN 5 HOURS TO CHARGE

and that is the unfortunate truth.

deejay_harry1: powermp3 is a music player... while mobile uncle is a hardware app u can use in resetting ur speaker out put sound.. making it more bloody and loud to d core.. its just like increasing ur phone volume but goin beyond d maximum.... kudos....

e be like say boiz too lazy dis side to try hardware tweaking...

*make i bounce ***

lol! I still don't understand the rooting ish... I don't intend to try it on my own. Maybe if I see someone to help me. BTW, I increased the volume of calls and notifications sounds, because I noticed that my ringtone was not loud... So.. I noticed that every thing became loud... Even the music player... So I think I av gotten what I wanted. No mind me Jare... No bounce ooo.. But no come cause wahala for here.

deejay_harry1: yhu must be rooted.. and yea it worked very good for d e3 users

is there no other way, like an alternative music app?

deejay_harry1: well i tweaked my output speaker with mobile uncle... lol...

now my phone is so fuckin loud as Bleep....

as in e too loud na me dey carry my hand reduce volume small..lol..

altho i dont use a tecno phone, and havnt tested it on a tecno.. i think it might help u ...

go download mobile uncle, and buzz up here for guide...

4peace already posted somtin on it

My phone is not rooted ooo ooo. I also saw something on mobile uncle on the e3 thread

Guys, I have been using this phone for almost 4weeks and I want to say the phone is awesome. I just have 2 issues with the phone-
1. I noticed that the default music player is not loud with the phone's loudspeaker, for goodness sake, it is not as loud as my Nokia Asha 200. Now, my question is, is there anyway to make the audio output louder and more pleasant to the hear. BTW, the earpiece is really cool.

2. The amount of time it takes for the phone to get fully charged from zero per cent to 100 percent is quite alarming. Which way forward? I read something about Samsung charger in the former F7 thread but I was less concerned because I had not gotten the phone yet. So, like how long does it take the Samsung charger to charge fully, the follow come,Tecno charger takes between 4 and 5 hours. And how much is it sef?

There are lots of pathetic People on Nairaland. People filled with hatred and anger. The only person that made sense here was Lorraine or whatever his name is. He was the only one that argued logically. I wonder why those Anti-gay peeps don't stick to the topic and discuss about it. There are lots of kids on this thread, Maybe it is due to ASUU strike or something. I am totally against anything that has to do with mob action.For goodness sake,the story does not make sense at all. Was the guy raped or what? I am sure it was consensual. Something went wrong. Anyway, let us leave the Nigerian police to do their job.

GIONEE Communications Equipment Company Limited has said its GIONEE Elife E6 smartphone will be available in Nigeria in less than two weeks.

The Marketing Manager of the company, Mr. Gabriel Nwabueze, revealed this in Lagos on Thursday at a media briefing.

The phone was released in Beijing China on July 10 this year.

With its intuitive and user friendly interface, Nwabueze said the Elife E6 was manufactured with the customers’ interest at heart, supplying what is truly important to them in terms of quality, performance and affordability – all in a stylish and sophisticated design.

According to him, Gionee Elife E6 showcases technology at its peak, and is powered by a 1.5GHz Mediatek quad-core processor, along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage.

The smart phone, which features a unibody design, sports a 5-inch OGS (One-Glass-Solution) AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and pixel density of 441ppi, he said, was extremely thin at just 6.18mm, and weighs 128 grammes.

He added, “It has motion sensor allowing users to answer phones by directly raising it up to their ears, answer calls by waving a hand over the screen, flip between pictures by a sweeping motion, and automatically play/pause videos when the user looks away from the screen. The camera can even take pictures automatically when it detects a smile.

“The Gionee Elife E6 also has a 13-megapixel primary camera, with a second generation BSI sensor which comes along with an auto focus feature and an LED flash. It also has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with a 28mm lens. Both cameras support 1080p video recording and comes with amazing self portrait mode features.

The phone, he added, packs a 2020mAh battery and runs on the latest Android 4.2 with its own custom Amigo UI layer, vertical panorama, dual microphone equipped with a noise cancellation technology.

It seems the smartphone war just got better...maybe I should start making plans to sell my Tecno F7

BlackBerry's Collapse: 5 Key Mistakes

Posted on Saturday Aug 17th at 8:06am
Watching BlackBerry stumble and fall during the last few years has not been pleasant. The company once stood at the top of the smartphone market. Its smartphones were carried by mobile professionals in the tens of millions. These devices were the envy of the office and the company helped push mobility in new and exciting directions.
And then everything went wrong.
The company made a number of mistakes along the way that led to its current position at the bottom of the smartphone market. It's still losing share. BlackBerry this week announced that it is exploring strategic options, including an outright sale of the company to investors or other third parties. BlackBerry is close to the end of the road and desperately seeking an escape route.
Here's how BlackBerry found itself trapped with nowhere to go.
1. It wrote off the iPhone.
Former BlackBerry co-CEO Mike Lazaridis scoffed at the original iPhone. He thought it was a toy. He derided its poor battery life and balked at the idea that anyone would want to type on glass when BlackBerrys offered full QWERTY keyboards.
The original iPhone may not be impressive by today's standards, but there's no denying that it forever altered the smartphone paradigm. It offered a big screen, a capable browser, and the best music/video experiences available from a mobile device, something that BlackBerrys (and most other smartphones at the time) did not.
As the saying goes, BlackBerry didn't adapt -- at least, not fast enough -- to the changes in the market. Classic Darwinism in action. (Nokia is guilty of this too.)
[ What's next for BlackBerry? Read Will BlackBerry 's Future Be A Piecemeal Sale? ]
2. It wasted resources on the PlayBook.
The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is one of the biggest tech industry failures in in recent memory. The company introduced the tablet during the fall of 2010 (following the debut of the original Apple iPad tablet earlier that year), and brought the PlayBook to market in April 2011.
BlackBerry's leadership probably thought it was responding to the Apple iPad is a timely manner, getting a competitive product to market as quickly as it could. It did this at the expense of its smartphones. BlackBerry pulled resources away from its smartphone development teams in the months leading up to the PlayBook's debut. Instead, it should have skipped the tablet altogether and focused on its core smartphone business, which was already in trouble. (Handset sales are historically responsible for 80% of BlackBerry's revenue.)
The one thing BlackBerry did right with the PlayBook was to base the operating system on QNX, which it had purchased earlier. QNX and PlayBook OS eventually led to the foundation of today's BlackBerry 10 operating system. If BlackBerry had only skipped the PlayBook and begun work on BlackBerry 10 right away, it might have had a better chance.
3. BlackBerry didn't fire Lazaridis and Balsillie soon enough.
BlackBerry's former CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, are far more responsible for the company's position today than is current CEO Thorsten Heins. Lazaridis and Balsillie were bullheaded and unwilling to change with the market. They ignored competitive threats from Apple and Google, they frittered away time and money pursuing the PlayBook, and by the time they realized their mistakes it was too late.
BlackBerry's board of directors should have recognized this sooner and done something about it. It was obvious to everyone else that Lazaridis and Balsillie didn't know how to handle the changing market.
Why did the board not see it? Had BlackBerry's board noticed the writing on the wall 12 months earlier, the company might be in a much better place right now. Was the board scared of what would happen if it fired the two founders of the company?
Lazaridis and Balsille stepped down from their co-CEO roles in December 2011, ceding control to Heins, who officially became CEO in January 2012. Heins hit the ground running, but BlackBerry was already too far behind to catch up.4. Ithttp://mobile.informationweek.com/80269/show/6625c5e721e9bcbc22fcbdc266c656b0/?

judajix: this group myt not fix all ur problems but am sure we can help.....add and talk to me whatsapp on 081884895
d grp will be active tomorrow

check your number again.

Having read this thread from the first page up until now, I'd like to say, people are just bitter. I don't see anything wrong with the pictures. I love the background, it makes me feel nostalgic, you are pretty BTW, with a nice body structure.

I believe the problem here is that people wants to use this medium to settle scores.

But guys, how long is the powerbank meant to last? I tried to use it to charge my almost down battery overnight, when I woke up, the phone was charged only to a little above 70 percent. Am I using it the wrong way or what? BTW, the powerbank was fully charged.

kaydkay: @all
sorry to bring ds up again- since dat 3g (100hr) mtn stuff last wknd i have bin unable to use d one i was given and it expires on sept 2.
They kip remindg me i hv used 0 hrs of my 100hr plan wenever i try to do anoda data subscription . Pls hlp o. I hv ttied everytng

I am experiencing the same thing. It seems like we subscribed the same day. The worse is that I cannot even deactivate it.

Like, they say, there Is no such thing as bad publicity. I won't be surprised that if she wins, people will start claiming her. Starting from her state of origin.

I am happy to hear people share their experiences. I thought I was the only one. I still don't get the REM and NREM. I have been experiencing this stuff for years. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. I never sleep on my back, I always pray before I go to bed, but it happens.

It is so scary, even reading about it here.

I have had some scary experiences. There was a time I felt something pressing me, I felt the presence on my back, then something strange happened, the 'thing' put it's 'finger' in my mouth a d I bit it. I M not joking, I felt the flesh in my mouth.

It gets so annoying that you would be on the bed with someone and the thing happens, no matter how you try to wake the person up, the person won't wake up.

Another strange experience happened some years ago, I was with my mother one night and we were doing devotion, since she prays for long, so when she started praying I fell asleep on the chair and immediately, I was oppressed, I tried shouting Jerusalem but could not, I'm was making sounds but I was not saying anything, until she stood up and hit me while saying 'blood of Jesus' Nd I woke up immediately.

Another happened some years ago in the hostel in Uni, a friend of mine laid on my bed and he asked me to swap with him for the night, so when I laid on his bed, I was oppressed Nd I was making sounds, it seems like my roommates were scare, until a guy shouted 'blood of Jesus' and immediately it stopped.

If it is deliverance, I have done plenty in MFM, if it is prayers, I do mid night battle every night.

I don't want to believe that this is scientific.

It has gotten better now sha, I kinda know when it wants to happen and I immediately force myself to wake up, I annoint myself Nd I pray.

I also cover myself when I sleep, especially my neck, strange, but it works.

Also, I make sure I sleep with Christian music playing loudly.

My method might be crude, but they work for me, it is not yet Uhuru, I need total freedom.

But I know is that, whenever the name of Jesus is called, the attack stops.

BMW, pardon my errors, I did not edit it before posting.
I

goldmin: pls ooo .i wud like to knw if it is possible to use flash at nite while recording a video an also i wud be glad i can get screenshot of d phone gaming *like*fifa,ashalft*rio etc

You want to use flash to record videos at night? You did not even ask if the camera flash was strong enough to snap pictures at night. The camera is good, no doubt, that is if used in a well lit area, but the flash is not that good. Overall, the phone is very cool, but if you want to use your phone to just record videos at night, then I'd advise you to get something else.

Guys, I ask again...is there no way to deactivate this so-called 100H plan. MTN no gree make I use am and they don't want me to leave. The 100HR is going to expire next month oooo. Does it mean that I have to wait till next month after it expires before I would be able to subscribe. 'Cos i tried subscribing for both BIS and Data bundle and was sent an sms that I have an active subscription. BTW, I wouldn't mind if there is a way to browse with the 100H.

BB40: I beg hw u take get ur 5gig on airtel o,pls send d way to kingvee4real@gmail.com.thanks

How else? I subscribed for 2 months Airtel BIS and I was given the 3rd month for free.
