don't watch the video if u use transsion device. its a waste mb

I don't know what you mean by trassion device but yes, most Chinese phone brands do not upgrade the Android OS that their devices came with. The best bet is to joint a dev community, get custom Recovery and flash Custom Roms

Chuksteric:
No matter what you do Tecno phantom and zero 8 will never have android 11 ..

Search xda-developers there's custom Recovery for some Tecno and infinix devices. With custom Recovery, you can even flash GSI images for your device.
I made a custom Recovery for the first infinix Android one device several years back but due to infinix lack of support for dev community I moved on.

If you're an Android user on Android 10 chances that there is no update to Android 11 for your device yet.
However, if there is a custom Recovery like twrp for your device, then you can find an Android 11 Rom at xda developers for your device.

If that is done, then this video will guide you through how to make the transition from Android 10 to 11.

If you are interested in using your Android phone to stream live from the top streaming apps like DSTV Now, Netflix, HBO and more, just make sure that your Android device is Google certified.
If your device is not certified by Google you won't be able to watch any video and in most cases, when you search for the app to install it from Google play store, you won't find it.

All Android phones that are Chinese model out of the box is not Google certified as Google is banned in China. Many Huawei phones are also been affected by this as the brew between US Govt and Huawei grows.

Good news is there is a permanent fix but it requires a good technical knowledge of how to unlock bootloader, root and flash Custom Recovery etc

In this Video I explained what Google device certification is, why you'll need it, how to check for it in your phone and how to fix this issue.

If you want to stream from your Android phone and watch top live streaming apps like Netflix and DSTV now, make sure that your Android phone is certified by Google.

To quickly check that, open Google Play Store, tap on the three bar menu on the top left, click on settings, and scroll down to the last menu (play protect certification) and check if your device is certified or uncertified.

If your device is China version it will be uncertified out of the box and there is no temporary fix for it
Most Huawei phones could be affected by this and many other popular Android OEM brands can also suffer from this as I explained in the video.

I forgot to add the website of The Nigerian Joint Tax Board.
https://tin.jtb.gov.ng/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr9HQn-hQv0

Nigeria is full of wonders and one of them is that You can have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) without knowing that you have one.
As some people recently found out that while BVN was being created for them, they were also assigned National Identity Number NIN.

Thanks again to Bank Verification Number BVN, If you have BVN and any of your recent employer deducts income tax from your pay, then you are most likely to have a TIN created for you and a Tax Certificate on top of that by the Joint Tax Board of Nigeria. How they keep creating these important numbers for people even without their consent is now alarming.

In the video above I gave step by step details on how to check if you have and if you don't have, you can create on on Joint Tax Board website and get yourself a new TIN in less than 48 hours.

Why is it important to own a Government issued Tax Identification Number? If you will ever want to earn online or globally especially from companies that are based in the United States of America, do yourself a favour and get a legit TIN now. You won't be allowed to register for earning or even get the money you earned if they cannot verify your TIN.

Software processing has a lot to do with Phone quality and smartphones are really improving on it nowadays

I enjoy the simplicity of these phones and now that they have even 4G, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Google Assistant, voice typing, Google WhatsApp, Facebook etc I think I'll keep it as a backup phone

Dspec:
who buys Android phone for this price ... No whether they gave you free Earbuds and bag, they have also added the money for the earbuds and whatever thing they gave you as free.

Good Android phones that should serve you well with future-proof should be upto 100k+ ($250+)
But it should have upto 8GB RAM/128G ROM and very fast processor (premium midrange and above) I will also advice if you are buying a phone of that price, stay away from MediaTek Processors because of lack of regular OS updates/lack of Android Custom Roms support too

Thanks to Gcam App porters (developers) the new Gcam 8.0 - the latest version of the best Android Camera App is now available for all Android devices (Running Android 10 and above)

Beyond the basic improvements, there are tons of new features, improvements and refinements in the User interface.

Google has also improved the video recording quality, auto focus and lots more.

Can we be polite in this thread to each other please?

jimmynauty:
which password manager is recommended

Google
Lastpass
Bit Warden

I've used the three and any of them is good.

Google password manager already in your Android phone, the two you have to install.

Shellsploit:
Thank God i don't have a smart phone

The Sam is applicable to Windows PC.I am not sure about Mac OS

Petersamuel8:
Nice one, na to cram bvn and a/c no. now be d problem

You can use a secured password manager like Google, Lastpass, Bit warden etc Auto Fill in your sensitive personal information. They will securely fill in your emails, passwords, bank accounts, credit cards details, etc without going through the clipboard. I already made a video about that too.

gungab:
Interesting

Tot it's the safest when entering password in some certain site bc some keyboard can expose

Some keyboards apps are the worst! Especially those spam keyboard apps in Tecno and Infinix, the can store your passwords as auto detect predictions too, the app security is poor and can be targeted by malwares. So make sure that your active keyboard is from a trusted source like Google Keyboard or Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard

I wish smartphones have clipboard access permission but they don't have, once you copy anything (it goes into the clipboard) it is a public access area - almost every app in your phone can access, read and copy the information in your clipboard. It's like anything uploaded to the internet via http, it can be accessed by anyone who wishes to have the information.

Let me make it simple - Stop copying and pasting sensitive personal information in your phone like email, passwords, credit card details, bank accounts etc.
Your phone clipboard is a public access area and any app can collect and use any data in the clipboard.
Check out how to go about it securely in this Video...

There are ways to backup everything in there and this video will show you or serve as a reminder to always take a full back.

Enjoy!
