Send promo and mifi. U may be lucky

I did o. I sent GET and MIFI next...no show. Just a text message saying they will activate it shortly. I later got a successful message. Upon doing 1k data, this is what I got...



PS. I don't ask me what the exipired data is. I just got the SIM new from their office today and just loaded N100 to activate it and later N1000 to get the supposed data. So, I'm as confused as you are.

What's happening with Airtel?
I wasn't given any bonus data even after sending MIFI to 141. I just got the double data...only.
It's a new SIM

Who is using a Nano SIM extender on his Xiaomi device and how is it used especially when it will be sticking out of the SIM tray.

A few screenshots or/and installation images will be nice.


EDiT: YouTube to the rescue. It's simple enough but my problem is the extender sticking out of the SIM tray. I would have gone the glue route but I just realized that I need the SIM intact to do a Welcome Back without hassles and will probably cough out same cash to get a new SIM.

Abbo, you have been tossed under the bus. Stop with the protest because it will fall on deaf ears. Nobody would want to be seen supporting you at times like this when their tenure is just starting.

Keep kwayet and speak unless spoken to. Gauge your words carefully least it would be used against you.

The video evidence is there, Pressure groups have come calling, the media are feasting on the situation, the Police has washed their hands (and are trying to save their own image), the Committee have come for your head...C'mon, even an animal knows when to be still and think things through.

Reminds me of the day my friends and I rode in a clean first body, unmodified 504SR to a wedding. The owner, in his late 40s or so, has been maintaining it ever since he inherited it from his Dad and has been taking it on joy rides or special occasion such as weddings. The chilling AC was blazing away as we chatted away.
According to him, he only had to change the rear bumper, with the original of course, as a result of being rear ended in a traffic jam. Asides that, the sweet ride still had the characteristic engine sound. Every time he sounded the horn, I get this rush of dejavu of my childhood. Its horn note is a signature classic. The interior smell also made me feel giddy.
Damn, we really enjoyed that ride so much we all rushed back to the faithful workhorse at the close of the wedding service. The Uncle was happy to convey his chatty party to the reception. We talked about modern cars and how the seems to have sacrificed their sturdiness for technological features that makes them complicated and prone to failure.

Its a shame that the surviving workhorses that is the 504 are made to go through rigorous activities that will make an SUV literally gasp with exhaustion after a few meters.

Respect the Peugeot 504!
E no get mate.

Messymelly1:

Can someone narrate please

In simple terms, if you need to edit the music tag (also called ID3 tag) of your music files so that the details will be displayed correctly or the Album will have a complete tracklist, use "AutomaTag" and/or "Star Music Editor". They are the best tools for the job on Android.

If an artist drops a single for an upcoming album, I won't download the song; I will rather wait till the album is released and in the meantime, listen to the song on YouTube or Spotify.

Lolz. Some singles are just that...singles. They are often not included in the final album but that depends on the number of "Listens" it gets on streaming services. There are some other cases such as "Said - Nasty C & Runtown" was a hit but wasn't featured in either of their albums to the best of my knowledge.
The annoying part is when its included in the album but the tempo, artists singing sequence or beat is changed to one lame-as-fok version. Example is JayZ's "Holy Grail" feat Justin Timberlake. I dunno which album type it was but this particular one had the Official video version of the song as the audio. I was wondering why it was slowing down like my phone or music player was on drugs low current as the slowdown in tempo occurred just like the official video. I just deleted it sharpally and searched for the one that I liked best.

Have you tried MediaMonkey yet. If you do let me know

I tired that but changes are often not permanent. If you delete the Android Music Store database and refresh your track lists, the result will be frustrating. Media Monkey just "scammed" you into thinking the change is permanent.

The search for a permanent solution is what led me to Star Music Editor before I restumbled on the latest AutomaTag. Its a permanent thing now as my editions are fixed and will reflect even if I transfer the said files via Xender, Bluetooth, MTP etc etc. Be warned sha, there are cases where the music file just wants to be foolish and refuses #change

Mustiboy:
all my songs are in their designated album folders.
Most of the songs downloaded online come with wrong tags; therefore, only album art, album

I have 199 songs by Trey Songz. It took me over 3 hours to edit the song names and artist name(I had to copy-and-paste for the artist name since it's just Trey Songz to be filled in each space).

Better still, try using the latest AutomaTag in conjuction with Star Music Player.
For better results, move your music to your phones Internal memory. Once finished editing, you can move them back.
AutomaTag to check for the actual ID3 profile of the song/album, then Star Music Player for special songs that refuses to change.

The edition is almost always permanent and even some stubborn apps like Windows Media Player will recognize the correct profile and arrange/display the song accordingly in the Playlist or database.
Windows Media Player or Music app in Windows 10 are the two apps that I know that are very stubborn when reading music tags. They will display perfect nonsense, often coupled with missing or wrong album art, if the editing wasnt done properly. With edition via AutomaTag, the result is often flawless and permanent.

P.S. The issue you may come across some details such lyrics, comment, producer etc which some download sites see fit to mess up, AutomaTag doesn't touch such details. It works only on important details. As such, you will need to manual edit if you are someone as picky as me.

Please help.... Android OS has been draining my data consistently cry cry cry cry

Same here also. Wondered how my data was flying so fast. I assumed a connected device was consuming excess data so I stopped using my Hot 4 as a modem. I later checked my Data Usage only to see that Android OS consumed 1.2GB data this month alone.

I'm yet to finger the culprit as Google has seen it fit to help hide apps that consume data under the "Android OS" banner.

This writeup is confusing. I cannot see a correlation between this writeup and what Infinix Hot 7 has to offer.
The features listed here are actions you can perform with any Android phone for a seamless switch between your mobile and Chrome OS.
Its similar to Microsoft's Continuum idea that is implemented by Apple (Continuity), Samsung (Dex) etc.
Microsoft has improved on it with what it calls Screen Mirroring using Your Phone app which allows you to mirror whatever you have on your Android screen on your Windows PC as long as you are on 7.0 Nougat and above. Drag and drop (akin to Xender) is also being tested.

The feature is already available on Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18356 for testing and debugging . It might be on the next major update to Windows users sometime in September once the quirks/bugs has been ironed out.

http://www.digitalstreetsa.com/windows-10-beta-introduces-microsofts-your-phone-app-with-android-screen-mirroring/

Doubling back to the topic, the Infinix Hot 7 seems to have nothing to offer at the moment...not even USB Type C port for a change. It just contains the internals of previous releases going to as far back as Hot 4 with the same processor, RAM&ROM and battery size being recycled again.

Same way Barcelona stunned them in a comeback win. Same with Man Utd.
They should have gotten serious on the pitch. Man Utd made use of every opportunity they get. The same cannot the said for PSG who seem to play carelessly.

Same SoC as Infinix Hot 4 with a "P" added to it, which obviously means nothing as the clock speed still remains the same.

Another waste product going for 50k in 2019.

They should release if fast let someone port the ROM to Hot 4. Nonsense!

Android One is a clean slate devoid of ads of any kind thus the source of this ad is going to be from an app you installed.
The culprit is often from third party launchers so you should start searching from there. If its not, you would have to shift through your app to know which one is the culprit. Also, turning of background data for apps is another way to reduce this.

Lol. Jumia is something else entirely. 8 in 10 items are fakes/cheap imitation of the original. You may think you are getting the original...till it arrives at your doorstep.
You would be damn lucky to get the original except if you have had dealings with the seller before.

This bolded part made me laugh like you were dreaming.
Thanks for the insight. Anyway to know the one being sold at slot is original?

I thought so too. Took a photo to that effect just incase "I wake up".
I loved how sturdy the cable was. Its easily viewed from the pic below.
This is another reason why I also loved the AKGs.
Quality sound with sturdy/braided cable. A win-win if you ask me.
I hate when a cable twists up so much and starts breaking thereby exposing the fragile wires it encases. Some become sticky after some weeks of use.


Back to your question, seriously I have no foolproof method because this is Nigeria. Anyone can substitute the fake with the original and repackage it. Heck, the worker there was using Samsung U-level or whatsitcalled. Dunno if he was testing it or he bought it. Not my business at that moment.
I think the best bet is to have a good look at the original from S8, S9 etc before you commit yourself. Or better yet, locate an Official Samsung Repair Shop. They should have them in stock.

Those AKGs can't be original, they cost way more. I just checked Amazon to get user reviews of AKGs priced around $10, and was not surprised about the many negative reviews, many claim it's fake.

Was expecting same but my colleague had a bundled AKG with her S9 and they sounded exactly alike. Couldn't tell a difference in a blind test.
Some sellers trade theirs for 4k. Highest I've come across is 7k (and that was with a pouch/carrying case which mine didn't come with). Well, I may have been as lucky as year I came across a follow come Sony EX300AP that comes with Z1 phones then. Couldn't believe my luck!

I'll know if its my lucky day again if I come across Sony MDR-EX650AP
or Sony MDR-7550/800ST cheesy cheesy
Phones / Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Xionez(m): 4:56pm On Mar 02, 2019
I've got the AKGs and I'm quite impressed by the sound output. I had to get thmlem because no one was stocking UiiSiis and Rocks. I wonder how the Rock would sound.

I have heard the UiiSii HM7 and yeah, they sound perfect. Bass has definition. You feel the sublevels especially when you cycle through queued music. Also, the bass note seems to be unique to each music, and not the same throughout the playlist. The mids, highs etc are also unique to each song giving each their own characteristics. And all can be heard without Viper4android doing its thing in the background.

Unfortunately, it wasn't mine so I had to sadly return it to the owner.

I am wondering why Protein0 and co aren't stocking those. Maybe 5 or 10 pieces depending on demand. Anyways, I'll be using my AKGs till then.


EDIT: Slot sells original AKGs but without the pouches it normally comes with. Got mine for 3k...after wasting some cash on Jumia.

I think most time this thing has to do with location, from my experienced, any time Glo network started slow, I just go to another area, & it will be very fast there

Agreed but it goes to show how unreliable it can be. It also shows that they don't really have a wide coverage as they claim to have.

Anyways, it is a common knowledge that Glo is the last network to bank on for reliable data.
