When guys haven't gotten hold of the half-a-million-naira iPhone X , a Russian OEM has come up with a re-branded version of the phone which costs about N13.6 Million Naira. Well, this is not the normal glass-back iPhone X (10), it one comes with a golden coat of arms of the Russian Empire and over 300 engraved precious stones.

The back of the customized iPhone X—by Cavier—is encrusted with 344 diamonds of different sizes. The phone also has a single line of 14 large rubies as well as a golden plaque of the two-headed eagle. This unique iPhone X Imperial Crown uses 64 GB internal storage.

Caviar is the brain behind this glorious device.

Bug spotted on WhatsApp

drizzy009:
Anti delete works just fine

an app?

DeBlessedOne:
I told Mark this wont work, he didn't hear. Now he's being disgraced on Nairaland by an enemy of progress who is always looking for errors to make a thread that wont most likely get to front page.

stop saying nonsense

It is so unfortunate that the WhatsApp feature which users dearly anticipated, after release, is so unreliable. A month ago, popular IM—WhatsApp rolled out the ' delete for everyone ' feature, which enabled users to recall or unsend a message (with typos or if sent to the wrong contact) within seven minutes of sending it.

Once a user tap delete for everyone, the message gets deleted both from the sender's and recipient's end. But according to a Spanish blog , the WhatsApp deleted messages are actually still on the device, and can easily be accessed through Settings by the recipient.

So, regardless if the message has been deleted from the sender's end, it can easily be accessed and read. This can be further explained thus:
"Whenever a notification comes in to an Android devices, it is stored in the notification log – whether or not it is subsequently deleted by the sender. While the bulk of the data in the log is technical information, the first 100 characters of the notification message is also recorded."

So while users may not be able to see the message within WhatsApp after it is deleted, they can still see it in the notification log – which can be accessed in two ways.

How to Access Deleted WhatsApp Messages

First Method

This trick currently works only on
Android 7.0. Firstly, users can create a home screen Settings widget:
1. Press and hold home screen
2. Press widgets icon
3. Scroll down to Settings
4. Drag and drop onto home screen
5. Click on widget
6. Scroll down and click on the notification log
7. Click on the message you want to see

Second Method

iPhone devices are arguably the most cloned smartphones in the world. For every new iPhone that is launched, another brand will always respond with a photocopy of it.

Hogwash S3, which can be called Hotwav Symbol S3, is the latest OEM to steal the physical design of iPhone X. Unlike the iPhone that it copies, the Symbol S3’s attempt at hiding the top and bottom bezels is not as clever or as successful as the iPhone X’s. But the device accompanies lovely specs though.

Sometimes in May last year, Android instant app was announced at Google I/O as a feature that lets users access and run apps from search, social media, messaging, and other deep links without initially installing the app.

The good news is that Instant Apps are finally cripping into the Google Play store listings, and with just a "Try It Now button," you can access the feature. Instant Apps launch with just a tap on a URL. To support this, developers partition their apps into small, runnable parts, so they can start within seconds.

In series of tweet during the weekend by Microsoft VP, Joe Belfiore -who is responsible for the mobile OS, he said
"we know that Windows 10 Mobile is also slowly but steadily heading to the product graveyard of Microsoft."

As consolation, he further said that Microsoft will keep supporting the platform with bug fixes, but no new features or hardware will be introduced.

Explaining the reason for the fall of Windows phones, he disclosed that developers never really backed the platform and Microsoft could not find partners to work with.

how can 1.5 be 1900 while 2 gig is 1200

sorry! it's N900

With constant complaints about data zapping, poor network, and other issues paralyzing the use of internet in Nigeria, MTN has rubbed salt in the wound by reducing the data allocation of the major monthly plan a lot of people subscribe to.

Now;
1GB (Plus 500MB 1am -7am) is ₦1,000
2.5GB (Plus 1GB 1am-7am) is ₦2,000

ALTERNATIVE
With Techpaded, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you still want to be enjoying the former MTN data plans, where you get 1.5GB for 1K and 3.5GB for 2k, you should opt-in for MTN SME DATA BUNDLE , which is a good alternative!
The last time I checked;
» 1GB is ₦600
» 1.5GB is ₦900
» 2GB is ₦1200
» 3GB is ₦1800
» 5GB is ₦2800
All valid for 3 months!

Hope you don't fall victim to some scammers who claim to be SME data sellers. Use ONLY data Yakata.

It won't be harsh if you call Go keyboard a thief! The software which is developed by GOMO DEV Team is stealing your information including your email login details, and it's advisable to uninstall ASAP!

According to the Adguard report, the GO apps ("GO Keyboard-Emoji keyboard, Swipe input, GIFs" and "GO Keyboard-Emoticon keyboard, Free Theme, GIF") sends your Google email account associated with your Google Playstore, screen size, Android version, build and device model to its server information.

Since the app records every letter you type on your phone, the server owner could start collecting whatever information he/she wants from GO Keyboard users.

iPhone X accompanies many amazing features like Face ID to unlock the device, realistic Snapchat lenses, animojis, and buttonless home gestures. This buttonless home geatures made some Android fans bow, as they wished they had the feature on their OS.

Top 3 Features of iPhone X

1. Animoji: Animojis stands for Animated Emojis, and they use the iPhone’s new advanced facial camera system to map your facial muscles to that of an emoji’s so you can record and animate it in real time.

2. Button-less Home Gestures: Apple had to ditch the home button on the iPhone X in order to facilitate their all-display design. it can respond to a tap, your voice, and even a glance.

3. Secure Facial Recognition: You can register your face with the iPhone X so that it automatically unlocks when you look at it. The face unlock uses 3D imagery that's even more secure than Samsung Galaxy S8.

Additionally,

The Sharpest Display on iPhone: The iPhone X features a colorful OLED display with more than 2 million pixels. That means sharper text for reading, more impressive video playback and more.

Price: Yea! the iPhone X is expensive, but it's mostly Android users that are complaining about the price. No matter the price tag Apple place on their iPhone products, millions of fans will still queue - for hours - to lay their hands on it.
