Hello house! I've been having issues wit The windows 10 upgrade, It got to 7 percent and got stuck in there for upto 30 minutes and later came up with an "error in upgrading windows 10 error code ****" (not d stars tho I kinda forgot d error code) but I also noticed dat it has already taken upto 300mb of my data. Pls what could have been d problem. Help a broda pls

For smooth update, it's best to remove the sim card from the phone. Try that. You can create a hotspot from another device and use wifi to update your phone. Also, estimate just below 2GB for everything.
All the best.

This will be an interesting thread.

I used to condemn and chastise married women who were former runz girls, but I've learned to stop doing that.

Being a runz girl doesn't mean she can't have a happy married life. Being a 'good, clean' girl doesn't guarantee a happy marriage.

In a way, you have to respect the hustling & independent mentality of some runz girls. In another way, you have to be wary of them because they usually still maintain those connections after marriage and can use it to undermine the husband.

Would I marry a woman who I knew was a runz girl? Based sole on her past...No. Based on her other desirable qualities (business/financial acumen, friendship with her, sexual compatibility, etc)...Yes.

Also, this should not be restricted to women. There are runz men too. And Ashawo men. It's not fair to think it's only the duty of women to be well-behaved. Donestk

please how many mb did u used in down loading window 10 thanks

Just estimate 2GB for everything.
To avoid any problems, remove the sim card before you start downloading the update.

UjSizzle:

After a while go check for another major update. I think the second is supposed to fix some bugs and ensure better performance.

Thanks. I've seen the notification for that one. I'll do it tomorrow when my data plan resets.

I followed the tips you and others gave, and the went very smoothly. No interruptions or problems.

Uploaded my Lumia 930 to Win10Mobile this morning.

For more than a year, I had recurring issues with my Xbox Music playlists.

I have dozens of playlist on my laptop, and I usually sync them to my Lumia using MediaMonkey (occasionally Windows Media Player).

For months, the playlists on the Lumia would not sync completely and multiple copies of the playlists would appear. Deleting the music and playlists on the phone (using the File Manager and the Music app) failed to stop this frustrating problem.

For mote than a year, I googled and checked but there was solution that worked for me, and it was a common problem for many WP enthusiasts worldwide.

I really hope this new Groove Music app has rectified this issue.

I have noticed that it is actually quite rare to find a black person that is flat out an Atheist. Sure you will find blacks who know religion and the bible is nonsense, but they will dance around the title of atheist therefore most non beleiving blacks are either irrreligious or agnostic.

I describe myself as Agnostic because I'm not entirely sure of the fact that there is no Creator.
I know several Nigerian atheists who are 100% sure there is no God/Allah/Creator.
I use the word Creator because it's more encompassing than God/Allah/Zeus/Yemoja/Amadioha/etc...

My doubt is due to the fact that while there is a possibility that a Supreme Creator exists (someone/something that made the universe and universal physical laws, or at least...created life on this small planet called Earth), if such a Creator exists, I do not believe it gave us moral rules on how to live (like the Christian God, Islam Allah, or other religious deities).

I believe all religious deities are imaginary beings created by humans thousands of years ago as part of their way to explain the mysteries of themselves and their environments. It's natural, because almost every society on this earth has some sort of belief in a supernatural deities. Somehow, it got out of hand, and smarter humans started using this beliefs to create religion and religious laws to control and dominate other humans.

A typical example of how one human can create a religion and use it to control other humans can be found in Scientology. Different religious brands are created in many places on earth to control/manipulate people.

Helo i wanted to sign into onedrive with microsoft acct bt they keep saying wrong pw thou evrtin was spelt correctly,i tried changing anoda pw am feed up with dia question,i submit a form they said infromation wasnt enof bla bla bla,any suggestion?

Try to sign into Hotmail on a computer. If the password still doesn't work, you may have to reset it & verify your hotmail account before you get to do it on the Lumia.

lepasharon:
May not be a strong atheist but I'm definitely not religious either...

That's cool. I like that. Would you say you're agnostic?

I really wanted to type that I finally got the long-awaited email a few minutes ago...but naaaah April Fool jokes can be cruel and I'm sure no one here would believe it.

So I'll just type Good morning, and I wish I was able to meet with some of you in PH or Lagos.

Have a great day.

lepasharon:
That I'm what?

I read a few of your posts, and thought you were atheist. So I asked.
But then I kept on reading, and decided you were not.
I do like your views and the way you discuss and analyze on religious matters, though.

lepasharon:
When an atheist is being nice to you, just know they are not doing it to get to heaven.

Excuse me, please.
I've been checking your posts, and I'd like to ask: Are you an atheist, or an atheist 'sympathizer'?

#Edited
Never mind. I've read more posts, and I see you're not.

EnergyWA:
Citizens are the ones vandalizing electricity infrastructure.

Very true. We are mostly the architects of our own misfortunes.

EnergyWA:
I am worried about what seems to be Nigeria's relentless drive towards nuclear energy.

I have worked in that sector. I believe Nuclear can be a viable part of our energy generation, but not yet. Not soon. Not in the next 20 years.
Nigeria hasn't reached that level of scientific acumen, technological infrastructure, and HU attitudes to develop a NPP.
As it is, the government allocates funds to the NNRA and NAEC every year, but it's mostly due to the political "influences" of a few men.
I personally believe most of that money would be better spent on developing independent solar generation around the country.
I don't want to say more

EnergyWA:
I know there is a lot of work, going on in the Nigerian power sector. Let's hope, it begins to bear fruits.

The amount of work going on is commendable. The amount of work that still needs to be done is shockingly huge. I don't envy Fashola, his team, and the professionals who are working on this. May they succeed. Nigeria really needs it.

EnergyWA:
Unfortunately, we are too dependent on gas and missing the other opportunities that exist particularly with distributed energy.

Are you talking about renewables (Solar, wind) and independent power generation?

I agree that while we are focusing too much on fossil fuels, I think gas power plants (GPPs) are necessary for a short-term (<3 yrs) solution. They can help the petroleum companies to reduce gas flaring, and I believe GPPs are quicker & more cot-effective to build.

Solar is a great resource that we need to be looking at too. The cost is dropping every year, and we have large amounts of land that can be utilized in the north. But our short-sighted and selfish leaders... sigh

Most of our power plants depend on good gas supply.

Clearly, our Nation is very vulnerable to interruptions in gas supply and pipeline vandalism.

I say we need a special task force to patrol and secure our gas pipelines. This is an avenue to create employment.

I was coming back from Ghana with ABC bus ,at the Ghana terminal ,this two babes made sure everyone noticed them,with their fake swag and eating everything eatable from biscuits to suya,and making numerous calls,to their fake Yankee accent.

The journey started with this annoying AY comedy show repeatedly shown on the TV....and it happened......one of the girls ran to the driver ,that she wants to poo...this is before Togo.The driver stopped for her and she went deep into d bush did her thing.

We passed Togo and almost getting to cotonou ,the bus toilet started smelling so bad,off course, its for peeing only no poops....The conductor went to the back knocked on d toilet ,the occupant ,no gree open,finally a ladys voice started crying ...the door opened and our swaggered babe have pooped all over the place,ran out of both tissue and water.... of course it was late,trust ABC for late coming.


It was supposed to be funny ,but I really felt both embarrassed and sorry for the girl...all the swag turned to shi.t smell and tears.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How come no one has mentioned barging into d bed room only to see mum and dad in action. Happened to me a lot of times while growing up. Once my dad told me to leave his house and never come back until i'm ready to marry.

LMFAO

I use a 930 and just got it upgraded and there are so many upsides to win10 that I can see right away. I also had my reservations concerning the upgrade, but less than 24hrs after it's been done, I have no regrets yet.
Still, my 620 still runs win 8.1 so I have a backup in case this becomes annoying later.


Inbuilt voice recorder and flashlight.
I've been more of a Maps patronizer from 8.1 denim than Here Maps, but i think if you have the offline map downloaded you can still run it.
Office Suite looks better too and come as individual apps, not integrated into one app.

I'm yet to explore what options the store has for now, but I'll keep you posted on any developments.

And welcome to our thread

Thank you.

Before upgrading, you did a RESET. Did it wipe HERE MAps and your downloaded maps? Is it still in your 930 now? Remember that the HERE apps will be removed from the Win10 store today.

Please check if the the inbuilt voice recorder be used to record phone calls.

Also, any idea of how much data was consumed downloading the upgrade?

Hello. I just found and subscribed to this thread.

I'm a longtime Nokia fan. That's why I started using WP in 2013 (after using Symbian, Maemo, Meego). I own the Lumia 920 and 930 (both running WP 8.1)

I've been waiting for WM10 and quitely monitoring news about it. I wanted to upgrade my 930. For personal reasons, I decided not to join the Insider program (although I joined that for WIn10 for PC).

After reading several articles on AllAboutWindowsPhone (eg http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/21340_Of_versions_and_branches-the_e.php ) and the last few pages on this thread, I'm not sure I'll upgrate to WM10 anymore. I love HERE maps, and hate that WM10 wont support it anymore. WM10 has had several issues over the past months and I don't think it's worth the upgrade. It's also a shame, and it's safe to say, that many x20 Lumias will not get WP10.

I'll keep using my 930 on WP8.1. Maybe in a few months, when Microsoft polishes WM10 and makes it worthwhile, then I'll upgrade.

The Big Bang Theory - used to be one of my favorites, but over the past 2 seasons, I've lost a lot of interest. I no longer look forward to every episode, and most of the jokes are now boring.

The Last Man on Earth - Started out quite funny, but got really dry towards the end. I've not bothered to download Season 2.

Empire - started out quite well. All the twitter buzz about the music made me watch Season 1. Season 2 started out poorly. The series seemed to be more about the guest appearances and less about a quality plot. I stopped watching after S02E02 and haven't bothered to even download any more.

Good points, OP

The 5th Point is very important. Trusted Experience matters.

You can do all the research, but someone who is more experienced will still know more than you.

edygistvilla:
I recently took on a job, about few days ago (less than two weeks), as a office assistant/ Computer operator at an office located at Ojudu Berger. This is partly because I had just finished the just concluded Jamb utme examination and I was less-busy at home and I needed to develop work ethics and gain professional experiences that would be vital in future. There are TONs of stuff you have to learn while being in this position & I was doing great making photocopies, taking passports, and even helping out in typying. When we are less busy, My boss comes for a chat with my co-workers﹑ which they eagerly and actively participate but I don't. Not because I do not like my Boss or I'm avoidant, but I prefer being at peace with my thought and value my personal space. Then I noticed after few days, Her behaviour and mood towards me changed for the worse as she shouts at me and insults me if i make mistakes, Ofcourse, That's not a problem, but the hurtful part is she hurls insult on my personality. She says to me "You stand there like mumu'', 'Dondie'', 'Lookie lookie like deaf and dumb' e.t.c .
But today at work, I made a mistake with taking a passport photograph due to the fact that the pressure was much coupled with the over-crowded enivironment.She instantly got annoyed and said she can't tolerate a dull and mumu person and that I'm too dull. She said I should leave.

I was pissed because I had not been given a chance to learn everything needed to know Yet. I think this was really unfair since I was not even given a chance to improve. She said blame me for being an "observer", but she had to let me go.

I'm not sad this happen but this had triggered my incentiveness and challenged me the more. I'm even courting an idea of developing a start-up.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't blame you...much. I blame that ex-boss. She's an intolerant and immature person.

See, I'm an introvert also. I'm also very reserved. More than 10 years ago when I first moved to the university hostel, I was usually alone and quiet and rarely spoke to anyone. Up to a stage where one loud, popular guy insulted me with "That mugu wey escape slowpoke". It really hurt me, but I didn't let it get me down.

Years later, I've graduated, gotten scholarships, traveled abroad, gotten jobs, done countless interviews, made public speeches...

I'm still an introvert and still find it hard to socialize and make friends, but I keep trying to NOT let my introvertedness hold me back/down. I keep learning to do new things, meet new people, experience new opportunities. This is what you have to do.

You need to learn to socialize more. It's important in this modern, fast-paced society. Learn from this recent experience, and use it to develop and improve yourself. Cheers and all the best!

Sir, was yours renewal or re-issue?

A renewal. Old one expired and I got a new one.

sas91:
Pls I need your honest opinion on this matter , i'm a lady with an average height and weighing 70kg, my fiance always complain about my weight and I know I'm trying my best working on it. But this time around he compared me with my friend and said my friend has a better body structure than I, that i'm not more beautiful as I used to be and that if I want to be his wife then I must Slim down. And so many things I can't even mention. He finally asked if I am ready to do all he wants.
my fear is did he truly love me? what if I Slim down now and even get fatter after giving birth to a baby, wld he then hate me so much? i'm confused and scared of going on with the relationship, Pls I need advice from experienced people.

I'm sorry to say, but He doesn't love you.

It's ok if someone wants their partner to slim down. But to say such hurtful things to your face, to compare you to your female friend, to use that as a condition to marry you...no no no! He's emotionally manipulating/blackmailing you. He doesn't love you.

Artificial Intelligence is cool and awesome, but I don't trust it.

Also, if we have Cyborg technology, some humans will still use it to dominate, persecute, alienate, control, manipulate other humans for selfish and financial reasons.

Cyborg technology should wait until we have successfully colonized other worlds and need intelligent machines to help us expand.

Hello everyone,

The old passport with my false age expired and I proceeded to the NIS office where I met an Immigration officer who assisted me and got me another passport after I did the Biometrics. I actually paid him 100k for this. I really don't know if it was renewal or re-issue he did but this new passport has my real age and name which tally with my academic documents. The new passport has the old and new passport numbers written on it its data page. Now my question is, with the old number available on the passport, will the embassy verify and compare the information on the new and old passports?

Thanks for your useful contributions.

This is suspicious. Why will a new passport have both old & new passport numbers on it?

I did a passport renewal recently. The new passport was very similar to the old one. But the old number is NOT on the new passport.

Call that person that did it for you and challenge it.

I've lost one phone.

I've had one stolen from me.
