Phones / 5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone by Sodia(m): 12:43am On Nov 13, 2016
In the tech world today, so many things evolve around 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 note very important things before buying any tech product.

Things To Note Before Buying Any phone

In this post i have decided to share with a 5 very important things to note before buying any phone, i have done some pretty good research lately and i have some very great things i will like you to note in your success of buying any phone.

5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone

Advances in innovation 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 important things you have to consider when purchasing a mobile phone or tablet. And i will be discussing them according to their importance!

The Phone's 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 2000 or 2500 mAh minimum, with such battery capacity specification, you should expect a phone usage of 6-8 hours even with browsing, watching of movies and musics.

The Phone's Camera Quality

My second most important thing to note before buying any 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.

The Size Of Phone - Display Screen

The third thing i advice you should look out for when buying any phone 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 4.5" inch.

The Phone's Memory Capacity

Another very important thing to note before buying any phone 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.

The Phone's Price

Lastly on the very important things to note before buying any phone, 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!

So that's all i have on 5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone. Hope you loved it and was able to get one or two things you might need ti start considering before buying that phone.

Phones / Jumia Black Friday November 2016 - All You Need To Know, by Sodia(m): 10:13pm On Nov 06, 2016
The Jumia Black Friday is here again and in the year 2016,Jumia promises something very big, lots of surprises which you should not miss out from.

From the 14th to 25th of November 2016,the Jumia black friday sales portal will be open and a lot is expected from Jumia this year, few months now, there have been massive reduction in the sales of products especially on mobile phones, gadgets amd laptops. Sincerely the cost of this items this year has really made most individuals paused and say lets wait till naira would rise against dollar, seemingly this looks like an illusion because it does not seem it might happen anytime soon.

Jumia Black Friday November 2016

In a conversation with a friend who is also a technology enthusiast, that have been longing for the Jumia Black Friday 2016 since the middle of the year 2016, he said he has been waiting to buy his much anticipated laptop because of the cost of things he has not bought the laptop, not until now and i know many of us tech lovers would also have been waiting for this.

So just to let you know its another time we should expect some massive discounts on some of our favorite products.
Brief History About The Black Friday

The black friday started sometimes ago in the United States, during the Christmas season when people go to shopping and get some great discounts. Many other countries over the years have copied this phenomenon, among retailers and sellers both online and offline markets.

During the black friday, a lot of products are always on sale at very discounted prices. Products ranging from fashion items, home appliances, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, kitchen utensils, play station games, baby toys and even more that one can think of.

Also, amazing discounts between 50%-90% off products have been seen on products purchased during the black friday.
Jumia Black Friday November 14th - 25th 2016

Reports from the last jumia Black Friday of 2015, wereby the Jumia Nigeria website crashed at the beginning of that day, when millions of Nigerias were trying to buy some products and the website was not going, i think they learnt from that because last year's Jumia Black Friday was for a day, on a Friday, but this one is for 12 days, which means we are going to be having 12 days of huge discounts on our favorite products. This means that the 2016 jumia black friday will be bigger and better than the 2015 jumia black friday.

From November 14th - 25th 2016,we should except more than 100k deals, with awesome discounts.

But one has to be very observant because there are specific products that should be discounted, but Jumia is yet to specify such products. Hopefully the discounts should be at least 50% and with this one should be able to acquire a good smartphone or laptop at cheaper rates.

Sponsors of the 2016 jumia black friday includes MTN, Mansard, Binatone, Infinix, Intel, Innjoo, HP, Plustar, Etihad Airways. So lets get prepared to upgrade for less during Jumia Black Friday!

Webmasters / Re: How Can You Make $20 A Day From Google Adsense With An Entertainment Blog? by Sodia(m): 6:49pm On May 11, 2016
kay29000:
At this junction, I would like to say I don't want any comments from people that would come and say this is not possible, and that I should change to another niche. Thanks...I am not interested in those kind of comments. I only want comments from people who think this is possible.

So, my goal is to be making $20 a day from my entertainment blog. I already make $1 from it daily, so I believe $20 a day won't be too hard if I have the right information at my disposal. This is how I see it...700 pageviews a day gets me $1 earnings from Adsense, so if I can get 14,000 pageviews daily, I should be able to get $20 a day. So, my mission is how to get 14,000 pageviews a day.


So, how do you guys think I can achieve this? Thanks in anticipation.

Hey bro! can i knw the name of ur blog that has 700 page views, let me see if can help. Thanks

Webmasters / Buy A Domain In Nigeria At $1 With Godaddy Discount Coupon by Sodia(m): 6:39pm On May 11, 2016
Buying a domain here can be a very tasking issue. Tasking in such a way that it is not because there it is stressful getting the domain, like the process you will have to pass through on the Internet but the main problem we most Nigeria upcoming webmasters who have purchased domains one way or the other have complained about is the cost of the domains. Especially in times like this were the exchange rate of a dollar to naira is not cheap at all.

In this post, we will be solving the problem of cost of getting a domain name here in Nigeria. Normally a domain name from any normal namr registrar goes for $12-$15 which right now with the huge rate of a dollar to a naira could be N5000 if not more.

[img]http://1.bp..com/-opLJ-Uam9QE/VyzO8ymZPhI/AAAAAAAAAK0/-IIWm6YqjrMT-GKWqHw0D7gwYzldtpgNQCKgB/s640/godaddy-1-dollar-domain.jpg[/img]

With Godaddy, one of the top domain name registrar on the Internet, you can get a domain of your choice for as low as $1 equivalent to about N200 in naira.

I have used godaddy most of the time i purchasing cheap domain and it has been a successful process all the way. You too can purchase any domain of your choice very cheap for as low as $1.

Firstly, You need to Sign-Up for an account at www.godaddy.com

Registration is free any simple, just follow all the steps and processes you are asked to pass through.

Godaddy Discount Coupon has been on for years now and many webmasters have really benefited from this offer. Whenever i use godaddy and come across a $1-$5 domain discount coupon from godaddy, because this discounts usually come up one every month, i grab such offers instantly.

Sincerely speaking, this is not offers such as maybe a 20% or 30% cutoff, but for real getting a domain for as low as $1.

How To Purchase A Domain On Godaddy.com For As Low As $1 With Coupon Code

1. Create An account on godaddy.com as i have hinted above.

2. Search and add a domain of your choice to your shopping cart.

3. On the final payment or cart, checkout page, on the right hand side of your desktop column, You will see "Godaddy promotional coupon code" In the box Enter: CJC99COM (That means you are using Coupon Code: CJC99COM)

godaddy coupon code

4. Then apply it and you will see that your Order has been discounted to about $1.

5. Immediately the price is updated, you can then click on continue to checkout and make the required payment.


IMPORTANT INFO: Every Godaddy Coupon Code has different terms and conditions, and they also expire after a certain date. But note that;

1. The discount coupon code is valid for 1-year of domain registration only, this means that when you want to renew the domain after a year, you will pay the normal amount. Also, that the offer is valid for a new domain purchase.

2. PayPal payments are not accepted using Coupon Codes.

3. All Type of Visa or Mastercard or Credit/Debit card is accepted.

Webmasters / How To Open A Free Payoneer Account And Receive Your Card In Nigeria by Sodia(m): 4:09pm On May 06, 2016
Opening a payoneer account just takes the same process as opening any user account on any website online. Payoneer which can be said to be the best alternative to paypal, has made it easier for Nigerians to receive their foreign payments right here in Nigeria without much process or problems, unlike paypal that even up till now, Nigerians have still abandoned it.

The payoneer services allows you to receive payments in dollars or even pounds, its like you having a US or UK bank account. Then the Payoneer Card serves as ypur ATM. So cool right.

[img]http://3.bp..com/-P7zvIx1pzao/Vyt7Y77GcPI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/GnPBBi6K_scWJ0CYdrJIkxWYcmDzJVhawCLcB/s1600/safaxnet-payooner.png[/img]

In getting your own payoneer card, the whole process is quite an easy one.

First of all sign-up for a user account at Payoneer.com. Just wait a while till your account is approved, once it is approved. Your payoneer card will be shipped to your home address in which you can then use the card to withdraw your online earnings.


Testimonies from friends that have applied and signed up have all received their own payoneer card in at least 3 weeks from the day they were approved.

This means that it should take at least 3 weeks before the payoneer card will arrive at you door step.

How To Apply For The Payoneer Card Here In Nigeria

1. Visit the Payoneer Link via https://share.payoneer.com/nav/Ks0D07ogd20krOy0zcfSK4gf8KVoeW6A2MvJVv3REyqEeuXXpvl8g2s8r-6T2CsUyZzd93IV20WcZ2yRVBO5iw2 and sign-up, the sign-up is free

2. Fill in all required details asked, such as your name, address and other stuffs correctly.

3. Also set a very strong password, security questions and upload your desired Identification information, ID required.

4. Enter your desired shipping address, where you want the card to be delivered at, it could be your home address.

5. Finally you can now click on the ORDER button

6. Wait a while until your application is approved; Approval should not take more than 2 weeks maximum.

Immediately your application is approved, an email notification will be sent to you containing information on when and how the card will be delivered.

What is left? Its time to wait while the card is shipped to your address, which should be in a maximum of 3 weeks (all logistics being put in place).

Immediately the Card is delivered to you, login to the Payoneer website, to activate the card.

After activation, the card is now ready to use which means that you can now send and receive payments with it.

How To Fund Your Payoneer Account

Your payoneer account can be funded in different ways, you can ask a user to transfer money to you, by telling the user your card details.

Also you can fund it by linking it with a PayPal account and transferring funds into it.

Phones / Ways Andriod Devices Can Be Protected And Infected By Viruses by Sodia(m): 10:26pm On May 15, 2015
Android Viruses isn’t a topic which many people discuss in my locality but there has really been complaints which some people I had met were not even able to describe. Picking up their devices I discovered they had been attacked by one form of virus or the other, that’s why I had to bring us this walk-through.



A Brief Description of Android Viruses

Just like every other virus that can attack your computer systems, Android viruses are malicious apps, programs, files or even codes that can mess up your device and perhaps in most cases do things in your device without your consent, like stealing your data and/or destroying it.

They surely can do more harm to more devices despite the huge amount of effort Google puts into building Android OS. Many of us believe our Android devices are invulnerable but the OS is Open source (Android Open Source Project -AOSP), this alone completely changes that fact.

[img]http://1.bp..com/-Qib94JLcm3E/VU6WDrSHplI/AAAAAAAAAh0/lX9N_cLrYS4/s320/images-9.jpeg[/img]

Virus Types

They are mainly Malwares and Trojans right now, they’re made up of files & codes, yes you heard me right “CODES”! Viruses are now written in strong encrypted codes and injected to run in your device, we take a sneak peak at Trojans & Malwares.

Malwares

Malwares can completely hijack installed apps with your data or even the entire device. This virus that use the WebView component on Android versions older than 4.4 (KitKat) are silent and transparent, it won’t notify you before taking actions.
Malwares make use of certificates to gain access to your device, Android certs which give administrative rights are basically of 3 types

1. Hard-coded Adobe certificate

2. The 3LM certificate with the certificate chain, malwares can use the device management extensions to silently install new apps, change system settings and take control of the device.

3. The third is hard-coded certificate is used by Google Wallet
Attackers abuse and can use any of the above certs to bypass whatever stops malwares from attacking your device.

Android Trojans

Okay, this one is pretty smart amongst the rest. If a trojan infects your device, it can relax there without you even noticing, it’s the most sophisticated virus you can think of.

Here’s a paragraph from Wikipedia of what Trojan can do.
“In August 2010, Kaspersky Lab reported a trojan designated Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a.
This was the first malicious program classified as a Trojan SMS that affects smartphones running on Google’s Android operating system, and which had already infected a number of mobile devices, sending SMS messages to premium rate numbers without the owner’s knowledge or consent, and accumulating huge bills”

See what installing it looks like below the full post…

Trojan_permissions

Another dreadful feature of a Trojan is that it can’t be deleted once it’s installed. This is because Trojan enjoys extended privileges, but is not listed as an application with Device Administrator privileges.
Trojans can go as Far as collecting sensitive data from your device and these may include: your MAC address, telephone number, account balance, local time and of course it will tell the cybercriminalswhether it had successfully gained Administrator privileges of your device.

Now there were still apps submitted to Google and Kaspersky team for Analysis, they returned feedbacks after scanning– trojans make use of a program called“Backdoor.AndroidOS.Obad.a.”
I believe more crafty ways are still been built to encrypt Trojans with codes that cannot be understandable by anti-malware experts. The fight against this virus continues.

How Your Android Devices can Be Infected

Your device can be infected through any means of communication with a 3rd-party device, app, files, or bytes it received.

In most cases those free apps you install from 3rd party stores other than the original Google PlayStore can contain malicious codes.

You may even get your device infected through mails/messages attachments, or shared apps from another devices.

Tips on how to protect your device

Fortunately, in most cases of reported issues of Android malware & trojan attacks, solutions were quickly created to fight it. Here’s what you can do in case your smartphone or tablet is already infected:

1. Install an ANTI-VIRUS

Installing an antivirus can’t be overemphasized. Although this does not guarantee your device is 100 secure, it goes a long way to prevent an infection. You may pick from any of those below, they’re reliable.

Kaspersky Internet Security

AVAST Mobile Security & Antivirus

There are more which you can always find from recommendation by Play Store.

You’re expected to install only one AntiVirus! Installing more than one can actually harm your device sooner or later. Wondering why? Installing two different programs to perform the same jab can cause conflicts with undesirable effects like your device crashing or slowing down.
I’ll suggest you also install Bluebox Security Scanner , it can check whether a device is vulnerable to the fake ID attacks and whether your device allows installation of apps from untrusted sources among other things.

2. Monitor Your Installation Permissions & Accessibility

Before installing apps, you’re always presented with the permissions the app is asking for. This is an easy way to spot malicious programs. When apps starts asking for permissions like your contacts, device app history, location, identity, SMS access, email access and other sensitive data, be sure it’s an app you trust downloaded preferably from Google Play.This includes
You can also choose to VERIFY APPS before you install them.

3. Encrypt your phone

With this settings activated, you should make yourself a numeric PIN or Password to decrypt your phone each you Power it on. You do this by going to SETTINGS > SECURITY > scroll down and you’ll find the option.
Be sure you use a PIN/Password you can easily remember.

People feel Android virus attacks are few but it mustn’t be ignored, otherwise you may loose not only your device, but also your accounts connected with it. Apps like PayPal, GoogleWallet, BitCoin can get hacked through viruses. I still can’t tell which viruses are more harmful, but I’m pretty sure the tips in this post will help you stay safe from any of them.
