na 1 yeye engineer help me do am. the screen cracked and was no longer functioning so i changed it and d fone does't book again it only show gt7560 and restart

Nothing is wrong with the phone, just the new screen he replaced. just return the phone back to him and tell the dude to take that phone to where he got the new screen and complain it isnt booting with the motherboard, they will change it for him. provided it hasn't been long he bought it and fixed. he should avoid the cheaper chinese TFT screen cos it gets hot at the bottom and will eventually affect your IC.

pwreshbawz:
engr temmym3 or temmym4 you seem to know much about samsung phones. please i changed my galaxy ace II touchpad. buf d fone does not boot again abeg help me werrin do d fone

Bro you didnt give a detailed explanation on your device and the problem. by changing your touchpad, do you mean You change the touchscreen (the actual screen) of your phone or you meant the capacitive keys below the screen at both sides of the Menu key? did u do it yourself or by a phone engineer?

Electronzeez:

Oga your stress is much o. You still quote me with the same old story? Stop this na. haba

The Op simply stated, how can he spot a fake galaxy s5, of which I explained based on my experience. You provided a a native firmware code and I told you it is useless because it works on all galaxy replica devices .. and all of a sudden you became an engineer.

*#0*# is a circuit based code. For checking hardware. Not on d firmware. it works on some samsung device that arent smartphones? Good. thanks for bringing that into notice. It doesnt change the fact that it is embedded in the circuit and not the ROM/Firmware.

Why do u keep quoting E1160 here? How is it relevant to what we are saying? I cant even remember if a phone like that exists anymore talkless of trying a code on it. it is more like saying a code is not working on Nokia 3310, in this era? Bros na wah for you o. lol.

Electronzeez:
the question was how to identify a original samsung S5 phone from a fake one, my reply was to try the *#1234# on 'ANY' samsung phone.please kindly point out where i centered my answer to premium phones?, it is either you are visually impaired or you care not to read that..........that is where you get me wrong in the first place.

Ok brother, I get you, in one sentence, you provided a code that works on ANY samsung phone abi. Good. You tried. But it is just pity the same code works on all Galaxy replicas. Have fun ok.

Electronzeez:


i repeat i'v tried this code on many clone samsung phones and nothing pops out.....the code *#0*# is for quality check code for samsung..i.e to test reciever,speaker,touch pad,sleep mode and vibration..etc
the code *#0*# does not work on all samsung phones..e.g E1160

You might be suprise i know about the code *#0283#..the loop back testing code.
Kindly give me one clone samsung phones to try my afforementiond code on.thank u.
Btw, stop replying me with epistle...keep it short and simple.

who gave you the third party software you are flaunting here...lol...if you need a genuie samsung firmware...see me outside nairaland...*wink*
#nohardfeeling bro....mind u i'm calm sir..hehehehehehehehe

Oh please. Enough of ignorance. Why the lies. It is annoying. You don't sound like someone who handled a cloned device, that is if you even recognise one. No offence but people like you are the ones who gets duped easily when those under bridge boys shows you a samsung device and presses either *#06# (imei) and *#1234# and you still carry fake phone away.

No one is arguing about *#1234# not being a samsung code, it is a general samsung code for viewing the firmware version. All am saying is that it works on cloned devices as well. you get the exact same firmware of the original galaxy device on the cloned device. the It is embedded on the firmware and not on the board itself. Funny guy. do u even know what firmware is anyway? you must be one of those engineers that holds soldering iron all around the shops. lol.

*#0*# is a Samsung "smartphone" test code. It is written on all the smartphone circuits and not on the firmware like *#1234#. Quite hard for cloned device makers to copy correctly.

And where did u get E1160 from Jesus. Is that supposed to be a smartphone? Which era are u from. Lol.

Oga, stick to repairing your E1160, Nokia 3310 and the likes. Smartphones isnt your way. I wish i knew you when i wanted to sell my old cloned S4. Na you for buy am. Sebi na code u wan press. Lol.

Electronzeez:

I don't need to google anything to base my fact temmy,i'm just telling you what i know......no be braggadocio.

Lol. No one asked if you visited google anyway, but since you decided to confess, then dont just pour Google documents down, use the codes on the said devices first. Experience is the key. Local gsm (E1160) Engnr. No offence bro

Electronzeez:


i stand to be corrected sir.......the code i gave out is particular to samsung alone....it can never work on any china phone......bring your proof if you think otherwise.

I just gave the op the quickest way to know....laptop What would you do with that sir??, downloading application??...you won't have the chance to do all this at the point of buying the phone......
Camera quality? The man on the street can't even tell the significance of dot-pitch to pixel in imaging....

The Engineer! being an engineer doesnt make you an optional personality to cloned phones, except if you want to start opening up the device before purchase. only the experienced people can tell you. I had my hands on cloned Galaxy S3mini, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, Galaxy ace, note 2, Xperia Z2 and an HTC one. Chinese cloned device has 2 species, The 1st grade and the 2nd grade. You can hardly tell the difference in a cloned Galaxy device and the original. ALL CODES WORKS ON 1st GRADE china phones bro, even the air gestures on the galaxy s4 cloned is sharper than that of the original.
Are u sure you have had your hands on a cloned samsung phone? if yes, you should know *#1234 # works. only brings the firmware details which is useless.
I ll prefer the code *#0* # to check my samsung hardware instead of a firmware code. am sure our engineer above doesnt even know that code.

This is no competition, oga, get a cloned phone and check that your highly trusted code and see if it works or not. if you are really an engineer, then unscrew to check if the IC is that of samsung before you press the codes, come back here and feed me back. it is that simple.

Well, you dont have to get there before you download an app. if I am buying a samsung and am goin without my pc, I will download a GENUINE GALAXY unto my memory card before hand, get to the phone store and during device checkin, insert the card on d phone and install the app. There u go, u just saved myself the embarrassment of buying a fake phone. ( if you dont know how to download an app over to the sd card via playstore, then ask or check via google)

cool down bro. if you dont get the method of checking via the PC. you should have asked for a detailed explanation.


The man on the street can always tell the actual size of the pictures he snapped of course. Go back and read what I wrote on the picture. no offence sir.

You guys seem quite knowledgeable about these things. Meanwhile, the Belle is incredibly fast, with an intuitive UI. I can't help but wonder why Nokia had to jettison the Symbian OS in favour of Windows. What are the capabilities that Windows offers that Symbian can't - especially as the Symbian updates keep getting better and better. I heard the Symbian Meego (available only on the N9, I think ) is even better/faster than Belle. Why not consolidate on these rather than pursue this Windows dream? I really have no idea why.

I agree with you bro. Nokia keeps listening to ask what they keep reading from their official blog just in the name of satisfying customers? which is no clever. Most of these people commentin on their blogs are dumbos that havnt got any time to look into what symbian is like, symbian is a very much stable OS. belle update was so superb and to me makes it the 2nd best mobile OS after Android. Even symbian's Nokia maps benched any other OS maps. a 256mb RAM symbian will perform better multitasking than a 1GB android. symbian is made to perform very nice with a very little Memory and cpu usage, which makes it the best battery saver. Now they want the bow-legged and borin windows phone OS Nah wah ooo,

aieromon:

The transparent clock widget comes with a customised firmware and might not work on the official version.Have you tried using Delight Belle or Xeon S^4 Belle?I guess you don't have the mechanic clock as well?

Mechanic clock works. I already hacked the official firmware with norton so I installed all the new released widgets except the transparent clock. I flashed the custom delight belle but there was too many modifications to the core and prevents some auto start-upapps default apps from from bn visible when trying to stop them. So I downloaded the latest official release via navifirm, reflashed and hacked it. Most core app are now on C: so startup is faster and smooth scrolling is nicer. But still no solution to Lagging FLV video playback on belle yet . ll try extracting the clock widget manually though. Thanks much boss

symbianDON
abeg where did u get this your transparent belle digital clock from? the one i hav gives me an ''update error'' when installing even with hacking the device. d default one is not transparent,

also i wanna add this. E7 qwerty keyboard will eventually start to look old with all keys changing their colours due to presses. U can imagine a brand new n8 and e7 after about 2yrs of maximum use. U can even get a cheap protective jackets for an n8 which ll maintain its body appearance, sadly e7 has none cos of its built. Also the flex located under the e7 that connects the upper (screen) and lower part of the phone will eventually wear out and u gonna need a technician to replace it, Gbam

pro01:

How about comparing the N8 and the E7? Apart from the 12 mega pixel camera and FM transmitter which the E7 lacks, it trounces the N8 in my view. I almost bought the N8 but I decided at the last minute (at the phone shop in fact) that the E7 was a better, even though slightly more expensive, option.

E7 isn't better than N8 bro. They both have their own advantages though. E7 has a physical qwerty keyboard which is cool for someone that types alot, that is the only advantage over n8. But guess what, swype keyboard now works on n8, which is a million times better and easier and faster than typing on a physical qwerty. U just Swype your fingers through the touch keyboard and your words keeps appearing, e go dey sweet you to type self, so bye bye to hurting fingers and clicking sounds when typing with physical keyboard :-) , E7's weight is anoda prob, I just cant imagine putting a 176g phone in the pocket. I need somethingm a bit light,slim and pocketable. FM transmitter is something that I can without, now I just select PLAY VIA RADIO when playing music and then I set the car radio on to listen. Now I dont need to keep burning CDs everytime, even in d room, I just turn d CD player fm on and enjoy music from the phone and u wont blv the quality is as good as a real Disc. E7 has the same 8mp LED flash camera with nokia 701. U can neva compare that with a 12mp carl zeiss optics and a xenon flash cam of n8. Have u seen any pic printed out from n8 lately? U ll wish u hav gone for the device. E7 has no memory card slot. That is a big disadvantage. 16gb is not as huge as u might. u ll be so surprised when use ur E7 memory up and u ll be so upset when u start deleting files in order to get new ones. I got anoda 8gb memory card already cos no more space on d internal drive. Take it or leave it. N8 is one great achievement nokia ever made. Took me 8months to look into it before finally settlin down and buying it.

N8 and 701 no be mates ooo, N8 has a powerful AMOLED screen while 701 has the old TFT screen tech. N8 has 16gb internal storage while the other only has 8gb. N8 has 12mp camera with full autofocus plus carl Z optics and a nice xenon flash while 701 only has has a lame 8mp fixed focus lens and a LED flash. N8 could be connected to ur tv via HDMI and AV tv out cable while 701 only pocess the TV out via AV TV Out. Have u tried putting the two phones on the table and consider which one feels sturdy? Luckily I have a friend with 701. D only thing that is absent in N8 is the NFC support which 701 has. but that doesnt makes it beta dan ma N8 in anyway though. NFC aint any issue cos it aint common yet. U can neva regret ur money buying an N8 especially if u know how to use it. Keep N8ing :-)

N8 vs 701?? hmmmm

Justwise, Libhuds, Kenforum Am so grateful guys, Tnx for helping me out. I did made the booking 2days ago (Fri 8 Dec.) i was asked to pay and collect the ticket with the reference number at the airport in lagos. (I do hope they sell tickets on weekends o cos today is saturday), 'll be here again to inform you of how it goes. Tnx a whole lot guys. Tnx

justwise:


No worries.

If there any additional charge you will know before making the payment.

Ok boss, but based on your recent experience, does extra charges usually occur, i asked cos i live very far away from lagos and i hav to come down and get the ticket so i wanna be prepared. Will be booking tomorow sir.

justwise:

Go ahead and buy with Emirate online, if during the payment they add anything extra then u can cancel the payment, but i doubt, the agent just want to milk you a bit.

JUSTWISE. Thanks a whole lot. I know i can always count on you. U are the best.

Hello Nairalanders, am just about getting an Emirates ticket, Was about to book it through the agent that did the travelling stuff for me but he told me it was 230k (one-way). Checked online @ emirates website and found out it was 195k (fee + tax). When i told him, he said that was just an online price and that there is gonna be other extra charges for the ticket during booking. How true is this? As in does extra charges apply to tickets apart from the price on emirates website? Should i just go with the amount stated on the website and book? Please i need your Urgent replies. Thanks alot

Rihanna is kinda goin too gaga with styles, makes u feel like WTF! Ciara is som kinda Tomboy wanna-be. Keri Hilson always look presentable with her styles so i go for her.

What is your pc's make and model. Also do u hav enough RAM to run that specific game?

Thanks alot bro. Am grateful At least thats a relief. More post ll be appreciated by 630 users. Thanks

The new HP 630 laptop seems to be one of the best affordable sales currently, thinkin of buying one to replace my dead old laptop but it appears people talks about its ''THERMAL SHUTDOWN'' problem (search via google) as in the screen goes out almost all the time by making some annoying multiple lines and colours, then shuts down and restarts giving an error message. Please any HP 630 model user here having this problem? Is this general to all 630 models? Should i go ahead and buy this or please suggest any other HP affordable laptop model for me. Urgently needed. Thanks.

u cant understand what the fuk it is because no be your type dey get 6 pack. lazy crone.

u cant understand what the f**k it is because no be your type dey get 6 pack. lazy crone.

I read all the post from the first pages and i was amazed, couldnt believe some guys really sayin a 6pack looks like a grandma's washboard! OMG! "A Guy" for that matter, Is it laziness,ignorance, frustration or jealousy? Still cant figure it out mehnn, Instead of some guys hold and knock their head and say "which kind life dem com" they are here passing their own frustration of being too lazy to workout on 6pack. Do u watch Tv? Dont u see models? Even artists like chris brown and Trey songs, Dont u just luv what u see when they are topless? Instead som1 said 6pack suck. I Dont blame some, cos what they only know is food, "FFO"s, Some ll even eat a 3 bowls of eba first thin in d mornin as if they wan eat their future with d food, tell them to do just 5 push ups or sit up, dem no fit do am, Mumu gbogbo, Se na life be that? Se d pple wey u see wey get 6pack dem get 2 heads? Why dont u just sit down and think about what you can do to your suckin appearance, Some if dem off cloth u go see their dumb belle, like a pregnant goat. Havin a six packs or being muscular is not just about being sexy, it shows how much u dedicated time to take care of your body and how fit u could be, U feel good when u walk and stand cos u v got confidence, not u standing and your pot bellied stomach is singing hip hop down there. I wont blame the TOO FAT TO HANDLE people or the BIG SHOWS if they say 6pack is bad cos they ar kinda frustrated and need encouragement with their figure, but what about the normal pple saying dat, they should just throw dem into the cannal cos it would just take them few weeks to start developing d 6. Some pple will do crunches for a whole day and almost all the weekdays, Mehnn it doesnt work dat way, u keep crunchin without lettin ur muscles rest in order to regain new muscles and when it doesnt come, u say, Hey, 6pack sucks, Sowie o. The slim guys too that get scared of workout needs flogging, how do u intend to get those tiny arms and flat chest (like dat of a pressing board) sexier nd bigger when u dnt do nofin, Lemme tel ya, eatin a whole bag of rice wont solve your issue, i was a very slim guy when i was in high skul with 6ft 2in height, though i was lucky to hav a handsome bbyface dat attract girls but gush, my slimness and long neck was a big mess mehnn, i only buy big shirts nd jeans just to make me appear bigger, what can be so frustrated dan seein what u like in d store but cant buy dem cos they wont look good on u cos of u stature. Didnt pay more attention until i finished high skul nd saw my old slim frnds now with bigger chest nd 6packs, I had to develop my own workout stuffs and strategies at home nd with d help of d internet nd within 3 months, some started askin if i v started goin 2 gym. Tell ya what, if i, a once tall, lanky slim guy could overcome my fustrations gettin my body into shape, yeah, Then why cant u so need to lift sometin mehn, carry sometin, even if na sand u go put for inside an 2 "empty paint bucket" dat makes abt 3kg each. In form of a dumbell or kettlebell. And dont be too lazy to do crunches as in situps, I wonder how u could develop a perfect 6packs without it, might be difficult to develop but u ll sure like what u see, Saw some funny post too about 4 and 5 pack, How come? nd do they know what 6 pack means? , I hope they knew its all about those thight muscles on ur stomach wit d absence of fat, 2 upper abs, 2 in d middle and 2 lower lower abs. As long as its not 6, then its no sexy abs mehnn.Lol. and d guy with 4 abs isnt doin d whole 3 abs trainin otherwise d remainin 2 wld hav been visible.i would hav agreed with d dude dat says he has '4 packs' if he says he has 8 cos it spreads on all ur belly when it starts appearin b4 joinin to for a tight 6 nd dat should be d minimum except u r lazy to hold ur leg down in d right positions. I guess d dude dey do him own personal created training. And i wonder how d guy with 5packs got his cos the muscles as in d abs should be a twin beside each other as in 2 abs in 3 places, nd i dont think d local villagers hav a correct 6pack o. Yep, they might hav abs but can neva be a perfect 6pack. Abs grow cos of d absence of fat on d stomach skin but Abs dat has 6 tight and nice shaped muscle grows from they way u train dem. Not d kind of farm work trainin. So guys abeg i no beef any1 o, just sayin d truth and d truth they say is bitter, they say women with figure 8 is sexy, yeah. Indeed. No guy, not even a pot bellied bro would luv to go for a shapeless girl, so it applies to us guys too, look sexy, do cardios, situps, pull ups and make sure u carry sometin (i didnt say carry a whole buildin wey go break ur arm abi neck cos i knw send u o), and slim guys eat more protein nd do pullups and increase on situps, slim guys grows 6packs faster, normal guys grows 6packs ticker, Pot bellied guys, Ehmmm, Try harder and pray 4 deliverance of ur belle when u get 2 church and u ll be fine. If ur tall esp. 6ft 2 like me and u v got no 6pack or no nice chest, then u should be flogged. B4, i complain dat i was just too tall, now i love what i c when i look @ d mirror. Its just an advice brovs. I really wish every guy could look nicer. Pls change that looks, or remain like dat, i mean like a pot bellied grandpa of moses lookin muda**kr dat has bubonic on his stomach abi like a thin old crone wit flat chest or be a nice looking young sexy 6pack hunk dat attracts more attention. The choice is urs guys.
