Pls who is using MTEL here

dont know but i use Airtel, have you tried their new binge plan? i would highly recommend that for downloads cos you get upto 2gb for just N500.

the phantom 9 is one very good device, and yes it could pass for a budget device considering its specs and the price it goes for.

no doubts, its on hell of a flagship, kudos to Tecno mobile.

Nice motivation from UBA to encourage the culture of saving, this is a very welcomed idea. I can only imagine what that 1.5 million could do to any upcoming entrepreneur

It's been a long time coming, it's just a matter of time before everyone will be fed up

this is nice partnership, two great brands coming together is a very nice thing.

great, that spark 3 device is nice, tecno mobile must really b proud of themselves.

nice one from tecno mobile, i personally would have loved to win a generator set.

Wow, didn't know the AFCON 2019 had this much sponsors. I legit thought it was only total that were sponsoring them.

many a times when you work all day, you get tired and with this tiredness comes reduction in speed of carrying out activities; it could either be that you become slow or your rate of production reduces drastically due to tiredness and lack of concentration, this is no different when it comes to our smartphones too, you know the smartphones are like mini computers we carry about and they tend to work like the human brain hence its no surprising thing when you notice that your smartphone becomes slow or starts misbehaving.

The computers, laptops, phones, tablets etc slow down with the use because they accumulate data and junk. They also slow down because when there are too many apps, which you will have on your phone after you have used for a year or two, the computing resources like RAM and internal storage becomes scarce. This is the reason why six months after you bought your shiny new phone you start feeling that it has become very slow. When the phone was new, it was very fast. But now you start perceiving lag, start seeing apps load slowly. In this post i will be telling you 10 ways you can avoid this lagging and enjoy the most out of your phones performance.

1- Get rid of launchers: If you have installed any custom launchers on your phone, you should get rid of them. Launchers, even the best ones often slow down the phone. The only acceptable reason to use launchers is when the stock launcher is not good and is slow, which can be the case if you have a phone made by Chinese or Indian companies like Gionee and Karbonn etc. On some occasions the software that these companies put in their phones is not optimised well enough and in that case it is a good idea to use a third-party launcher. But be careful if you are going to use a third-party launcher. Don't go overbroad and just stick to one launcher. If you don't like the one you are using, uninstall it before installing the other one.

2- Get rid of security apps: It's true that Android may have some security related bugs, just like any other operating system. But you don't need to use security app. And this is something we aren't saying. Google has said this in the past. In most cases, the security apps don't do anything. They just eat the precious RAM and slow down the phone. If you want to keep your phone safe, follow safe practices -- like not installing an app from a shoddy looking web page -- and you will be fine.

3- Get rid of apps that optimise: The Nexus phones don't come with any optimising app and yet they are the fastest Android devices you can get. Moral of the lesson? You don't need an optimising app for your Android phone. Android has in-built mechanism to optimise itself. So if you have any such app on your phone, get rid of it.

4- Remove unwanted apps: Go to Settings > Apps and scroll through the list. We don't realise but as we use the phone we often install apps that we don't need, or may be not even use, and then forget to uninstall them. Clean the list now and remove any apps that you don't need.

5- Free up storage: When internal storage is full in a phone it can have significant effect on the phone's performance because fuller disks have slow read and write data speed. This introduces lag into the phone. Delete the unwanted data (apps, videos, photos) from your phone or copy the data into a computer to free up space on your phone's storage.

6- Make apps behave: Some apps are necessary but they can also be annoying. For example, an e-retail app. You need it. But don't need it daily and you definitely don't want it to always run in the background. Go to the Settings > Apps and force stop the app you don't want to run in the background. Don't worry, when you need the app you can just tap on its icon and open it. It will again start functioning.

7- Clear app cache: Apps like the Facebook tend to collect and store a lot of data in their cache. Over a period of time, this can start overwhelming phone's hardware. If you see the apps that are crashing again and again and have become particularly slow, clear their cache and stored data. To clear cache, go to Settings > Apps. Once you clear the cache, you may have to log into the said apps again and you will lose data (like WhatsApp images) stored by these apps on your phone. But clearing this cache can often speed up the phone.

8- Reboot it: Within the IT department, it is easy to hear "have you tried turning it off and on again". The reason is that this often works. So if you haven't switched off your phone in months and if you are finding that it has become slow, turn it off for a few minutes and then turn on again. Turning the phone off clears its RAM and shuts down unnecessary apps running in the background.

9- Clear the phone's cache: This is different from clearing the cache of apps. It is also an option we suggest you try only if you have exhausted other options. By clearing the system-wide cache, you can fresh the whole phone. To do this, you will have to go into the recovery mode, which is most of time different for different phones. But usually it involves pressing a few buttons -- volume and power -- in a particular method. Once you enter the recovery mode, go to Wipe Cache Partition option and wipe it. This will delete temporary system files and junk etc that your may have accumulated, another easy way is seen in some TECNO devices where they come with a pre-installed phone-master app, you could use this phone master app to clear cache and junk files, quick and easy.

10- Do the factory reset: Once again, you should exercise this as the last option. Doing a factory reset means deleting everything you have done on the phone since you bought it and resorting it to its original software. This clears all the data on the phone and gives you a device that would feel refreshingly new even if its body bears marks of overuse. While factory reset is a fairly good solution to a phone that has become unbearably slow, it also means that you will have to install all your apps again and set up the whole phone again. You can reset a phone by navigating to Settings > Backup And Reset.

with all these steps listed i believe you shouldn't be experiencing lag issues on your device any longer, at least now you know the causes of such lagging and their solutions.

LeonMacJames:
You can make 20k daily as a photographer if you have a network of worthy clientele.

i believe this 100% , but the question is how pesin want take get that "network of worthy clientele "?

Ooops, sorry for that. Gotta be careful with the kind of links you click on online

samwash:
That's how my Facebook acct was hacked, til now I have not been able to recover it.

investigator007:
true and the annoying thing is that when you think the people who use internet should be smarter, you find out that they are the ones that easily fall for things like this.

no be lie sha, you know there's a saying that says "common sense is not common "

AmadorSays:
The intelligence Nigerians use to deceive other gullible Nigerians is out of this world, I never saw this coming. How could someone pull such a scam on Nigerians using such a prominent supermarket? Wow! Only God knows how much the scammers would have made had they pulled through with this scam.

i dey tell you guy, i wonder why they won't put such intelligence into something else, something I'm sure will even give them more money than what ever scam they intend doing.

Iceman296:
How do people even fall for such scams? Especially when you don't read or hear from the company's authorized source.

good question, people need to learn how to confirm the source of any information before taking actions.

Internet scam is becoming so rampant these days which makes me think twice before clicking any link I see, most especially on social networks like twitter and facebook. Some even have the guts to be sending you private messages and once you click the link BOOM!! Your account will be hacked. Thanks to shoprite for their stand on this, they made notice of it early and are warning the public, that's really good of them cos so many people would have ditched shoprite for good had they been scammed in the process.

internationalman:
I don't know why Nigerians rarely play in the Spanish laliga..

They are tactically batter than the EPL by far as one can easily see in Chukwueze... All our EPL players got to offer is physicality and tackling abilities..

I know Chukwueze will be dreaming of playing in the EPL already coz it's every player's dream..

But if were his next of kin, I would advise him to continue plying his trade in Spain while aiming for the top two giant clubs in Spain..

I've been longing to see a Nigerian play in Barcelona or Real Madrid since I became a football fan..

truth of the whole matter is that there is more money in EPL, subscribe to airtel binge plan, browse on how much most epl players are payed and you'll understand what I'm saying.

Fantastic game from our young Messi, Chukwueze did wonders yesterday and we're proud of him. Lemme rush and subscribe to this airtel binge plan so I can get 2gb to watch his videos all day long

Techm8:
Bros stop visiting that triple X site your data will last na joke o!

bro help me tell am

pTomz:
ok, but can they bring back our 1.5gb night plan thank you

lol, abi? If you want to enjoy the best data consumption with them I advice you to subscribe to the binge plan from airtel, you get a whole 2gb for 500 naira o

enoch273:
An error, it's actually 77,000 to 80,000 naira only.

wow, nice one. With the specs it's got that will be a money well spent then.

Nice specs on this device I must say, but you said the phone is priced a little over N100,000? Isn't it on the high side?

No be lie sha,their unstable performance fit cause pesin heart attack meanwhile just a quick reminder that when you want to do massive downloads your best bet is the new airtel binge plan. N500 will give you 2gb, you can thank me later.
