Water is one of the killer of electronic devices; and because of this a smartphone must be used cautiously, especially during the rainy seasons. Because, if water gets inside and you continue to use your phone then it will result in a permanent damage to its internal circuitry whose repair might burn in a hole in your pocket.

If you do not use a water resistant smart device, it is very important to know how to protect your smartphone during the rainy season. Lers see 5 helpful tips thar can be used to help you protect your smartphone from water damage.

5 Helpful Tips To Protect Any Smartphone From Water Damage

Don’t Use The Phone Unnecessarily:
Most smartphone users are in constant habit of checking their smartphones after every few minutes for no reason at all. This increases the risk of getting your phone wet or even dropping in the flood.

Make Use Of A Waterproof Phone Case/Cover:
A waterproof cover provides the ultimate protection so you can use your phone without any worries. While looking for new covers, look for a waterproof cover that encloses the ports as well. It can be as cheap as $3 and if you’re in Nigeria, you can get it for as low as N1,500, available on Jumia Nigeria.

Using A Plastic Bag:
A plastic bag could just be a life saver; If you don't find a case or zip lock pouch, you can wrap your phone in a plastic bag that is lying around. It is better to keep a plastic bag handy in your bag all the time.

Always Carry Along Hand Towel:
If your smartphone gets wet accidentally, you can use the hand towel to wipe the water. Alternatively, you can also wrap the phone in the hand towel and put it in your bag to reduce the risk of water damage.

Use Zip Lock Pouches:
If you haven't purchased a waterproof case for your smartphone, and you need to save your phone from the rain, you can use a zip lock pouch or bag. This is an ideal way to save your phone from getting damaged due to water, but ensure to lock the pouch carefully.

In conclusion, its very important we take very good care of our devices, not just smartphones but all tech gadgets and smart devices.

There are many reasons why we may not want to use Google Playstore when searching for and Android application or when you want to do an android application.


Major reasons why this occurs include:

Google Playstore app malfunctioning on your device

Old version of Google Playstore and requires update

Not having Google Playstore installed

Google Playstore not compatible on device

Due to some of this reasons above many have not been able to install Android applications and because of this might have to resort to asking someone to send the application to you via various means such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Xender, Whatsapp and so on.

But sincerely these reasons shouldn't hinder you at all from getting that Android application you so much desire by yourself without any help or support.

Yes majorly you will argue that, if its not Playstore i will not download or receive on my device; that's how much trust many have for Playstore, but i tell you there are other stores and websites that are very trusted too like Playstore, infact some of them work alongside Playstore (immediately an android app update comes up on Playstore, they also get updated).

Where To Download Android Apps Without Using Google Playstore

Here have decided to share those top and best websites and places you can also download Android apps without using Playstore.

APKMirror

ApKMirror is a popular website were you can download any Android app you can think of, you can visit via www.apkmirror.com to download Android apps.

Not only does APKMirror make it easy to install apps if you don’t have the Play Store. It also helps you get early access to apps that may not yet be available foe you through the Play Store due to phase rollouts or regional restrictions.

Aptoide

You can download and install the Aptoide APK on your Android device, and you’ve basically got a third-party app store up and running in seconds. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Aptoide isn’t just an app store. It’s a platform that supports multiple app stores too, visit via https://en.aptoide.com/

F-Droid

You can download apps directly from the F-Droid website, here - https://f-droid.org/

They also have their own app, but if prefer not to install the app on your device it's okay still. But if you want to receive latest app updates, then you might want to install the F-Droid app store.

Amazon Appstore

This is basically the app and game store Amazon uses for its Fire tablets and TV boxes, you can download and install the Amazon Appstore APK on any Android-powered device that supports installation of apps from unknown sources or visit the Amazon Appstore website - https://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps

Amazon’s store includes hundreds of thousands of apps and games, including some (but not all) of the most popular apps available from the Play Store. But sometimes the Amazon Appstore versions are updated more slowly than their Play Store counterparts.

Other Places

Yes, there are other places to install apps with Google Playstore, APKPure is a pretty nice one, and the site’s mobile app even mimics the look and feel of the Google Play Store in many respects. APK-DL is another. But you do run the risk of obtaining modified versions of Android apps when downloading from some of these sites, so proceed with caution.

In Conclusion
I want you to know that the sites have listed above are very trusted and okay to download android apps without any need for Google Playstore.

I never tried to root my CAMON CX because it gat me always

hmm... it gat u?

kogbaski99:
What's the importance of rooting

the importance r same with the advantages/benefits

Front page things nah at admin, i think this post deserves one!

Have you ever wondered how beneficial rooting an android phone is? Well some may say yes, i believe your answer too is affirmative.

Pros And Cons Of Rooting An Android Phone

Now let me chip this in that: Everything that has an advantage also has a disadvantage. Rooting an Android phone of course comes with many advantages, alongside i will tell you the larger the advantage the larger the disadvantage. What does this mean? Hehehe are you kidding me, just in case don't know which of course am here to brief you about is the same way you will love your phone when you root it and admire that phone perhaps because of the functionality and features you get access to when you root your android phone is 100% from my research the opposite you get which is the disadvantage. Hope am not confusing someone here. Lol, hope you are not afraid of what may have happened to your android phone? I will say if you have rooted your android phone or about to root its a choice and what matters most times is knowing about something, its good when you know exactly the disadvantages of something, like what to expect and still go into doing it, you know thats risk by its own natural definition.

So what point am i driving at, well seeing this post is to show you the pros and cons of rooting an android phone, which are the advantages and disadvantages of rooting.

My information on this will be very brief simple and precise, so you can have a direct knowledge.

Before i go into this advantages and disadvantages, i would first like to define what rooting is. Now, this is my own definition of rooting.

What is Rooting?

Rooting is a process that allows you to attain root access to the Android operating system code (the equivalent term for Apple devices id jailbreaking). It gives you privileges to modify the software code on the device or install other software that the manufacturer wouldn't normally allow you to.

Defined in it simplest terms, hope my definition is explicitly enough. Now straight to the advantages and disadvantages of rooting an android phone.

Advantages Of Rooting An Android Phone

Though some may want to argue with me, you know, well knowledge and thoughts varies, but my advantages of rooting an android phone which I have highlighted below for sure covers all. check them out. Remember though advantages are very similar to the benefits of rooting an android phone also.

Full Control Over Android: Having total or full control of your android phone is the one thing infact number one benefit or advantage of rooting an android phone, which means you are able to decide some certain things on Android, you know take control over removal and deleting some system applications or files that may have consumed spaces, infact its more like you being the real boss of your phone and sending the messenger which is your android phone tasks to perform. Its general control over your android device.

Back Up And Restore The Whole System: Most unrooted phones may not be able to be backed up, like you running into recovery mode or using some gadgets to backup your device, when your android phone is rooted, you can do this, also restore your device, when rooted some files or applications might have been lost or missing, through rooting, you can get this back.

Save Space On Your Phone: Have you heard about RAM EXPANDER? this is an android application that works on rooted devices, it manages your RAM space by adding more memory to the cache/RAM of your android phone, with this you can have more RAM allocated to your initial RAM that comes with your phone, which helps you to save more space if you agree with me. Also it helps to save ROM space, normal ROM of your phone is the phone memory right? additional ROM is the memory card or SD CARD memory as some may call it. Now there are some phones i think Tecno P9, its a tablet, on this phone it gets to a point when you can no longer install apps on your phone memory, normal system ROM, and you still have memory space on your SD Card, by rooting your android phone you can move apps installed on your phone memory to your SD card, by free up your phone memory space and having more space to add more files using an app Link To SD; but all this is only possible if your phone is rooted.

Run Special Applications: An an android user, lately you should have heard or seen apps that won't work unless your phone is rooted. They call most of them special apps, like the RAM EXPANDER and LINK TO SD apps i have mentioned above, similar apps are the same, meaning they can't work and you cannot perform such special functions unless your phone is rooted.

Install Custom ROMs: What are custom roms? these are more like software, operating system, OS, of Android phones, sometimes when you cannot update your phone from a particular android version to another, you may need to get a custom rom, and this installation cannot be done except your phone is rooted.


Disadvantages Of Rooting An Android Phone


The opposite of the benefits: Well you may go into deeper thoughts on this like oppposite? really... Well its not a disadvantage like that but i just want to chip it in because something when your phone is not rooted, you don't get those benefits, but its not a disadvantage.

Cannot update via OTA (Losses Warranty from Manufacturer): OTA is known as Over The Air, which is the normal way of doing system/software update.
Easily prone to Malware or Viruses from Untrusted Apps. (Not protected).

Phone may crash at anytime in the future.

That's all I have, hope it helps... Thanks for reading.

Android phones today have really grown into what i would call them being mightier than ever, might in the sense that you see android phones today with very crazy specifications that you yourself could take a re-think sometimes though, like men... is this possible? lol..

5 Things To Check When Buying An Android In 2017

Close your eyes and open it again because you weren't dreaming when you saw that recent specs of the android phone of your dream. But actually i would say this advancements in android devices has really been of good, you know a lot are changing and some technology has to advance one way or the other.

In 2017, since January up till date, so many things have evolved especially changes in the production of tech products, so many things, features and specifications of most mobile phones and gadgets have also taken a new look so because of these one or two changes in the tech market today, it is important to check some certain things before buying any tech product most especially android devices.

Though many may have their different picks and may not want to agree with me one way or the other, so i tried as much as possible to be very modest in my picks.

5 Things To Check When Buying An Android In 2017

Advancements in innovations such as processing power, smart applications, net connection, more memory area and increased battery power are moving smart device and tablet market to new heights than ever. With a lot of choices offered, it is becoming more of a tough task to purchase the ideal mobile phone that suits you. Here are 5 Things To Check When Buying An Android In 2017. And i will be discussing them according to their importance!

1. Battery Life
How long my phone will last will determine how well i would use it. Sincerely if my phone battery life is short it would really discouraged me from using it always because anytime i am using it i would be thinking of how to charge, but what if am in a place where electricity is poor? Of course you may say i should have gotten a POWER BANK now, but seriously get a power bank, when major battery spoilers now in the tech markets are power banks. This is the more reason the first thing and most important thing you note before buying any phone is the battery life, or as some may put it battery capacity. Now what type of battery capacity are we taking of, well i might be more direct on Android phones here because iPhone and Blackberry batteries are very good and compatible with the sort of phone produced for, but many have issues with Android phones, mostly though because Android phones do run lots of applications simultaneously because of course Android is all about applications so because of this the battery might tend to drain faster compared to iPhone or Blackberry devices. When looking at the battery capacity of any phone before buying it, make sure the battery capacity specification is at least 2500mAh minimum, with such battery capacity specification, you should expect a phone usage of 6-8 hours even with browsing, watching of movies and musics.

2. Camera Quality
The second thing to check note before buying any android phone is the camera quality. We all like good picture qualities and great snapshots to upload on our social media pages. Though some may say i am not going for a phone because of this camera, that there are other important features about a phone without camera, but the thing is you can't talk about a phone without talking about its camera quality. No matter how one may say camera is not important or one is not interested in it, it will get to a them you will need to take some important photos like files or documents to upload instead of scanning them and now the quality of the phone's camera comes to play. So what are you going to do? Borrow A phone? Its advisable to look at the camera quality before you buy any smartphone, camera specification should be at least 8MP megapixel rear or back camera and also 2MP front camera and with Flash enabled too.

3. The Display Screen Size
The third thing is the screen size, visual experience plays a crucial role in identifying the quality of an item. This makes screen size a significant feature to search for when purchasing either mobile phone or a tablet. An ideal screen to some extent can overshadow the flaws in a design. Screen is also the single most costly and crucial hardware part in a smartphone and tablet. It is also cool when playing games and watching movies, you would love a very wide screen foe that. So the minimum screen size you should go for on any phone is at least 5" inch.

4. Memory Capacity
Another is the phone's memory capacity. A phone with a very low memory cannot be enjoyed. The two features of a memory in a phone is its RAM and ROM, the RAM is one important stuff you have to check out, it helps a lot as with a very large RAM on your phone you can open as many applications simultaneously with experiencing problems on phone hangs or speed. Well a minimum of a 2GB RAM is best foe any phone you are going to buy but though 1GB is not bad too. For the ROM, this is the storage/phone memory, its very important to store files on your phone for mobile accessibility and also with a huge ROM, more files can be stored, movies, pictures, musics and a whole lot more. Make sure you choose a phone with a ROM of at least 16GB.

5. Price
Lastly is the price of the phone. You might have tauted that perhaps the price should come first, but its better when it comes last because when ever one sees a phone especially Internet users, we first checkout the various specifications like those i have listed above, before one even can check the price. So the price is the last stuff to deal with as it finalise the deal. Well depending on the location or country, prices may range for different products, so its advisable to compare prices of similar phones to the one you are considering of buying then you can now know if its okay, so you can purchase it!

Hope you loved my pick and was able to get one or two things you might need ti start considering before buying that phone.
