Three (3) Key Features To Check Before Buying Any Android Device

Android phones are the perfect phones to use in this century as there exhibits many unbelievable features.
To be frank not every Android user knows all what his device is capable of doing. A user must have to use his Android phone for several years to be able to use half of the features his device is capable of.
Buying an Android device is not the problem many individuals encounter but what sucks the most is when you buy a wrong choice. This can be very frustrating.
Now, to make sure you are buying the right and durable Android device you will have to read below.
Things you must check before buying any Android device.

1: BATTERY CAPACITY
Am starting with this because it is the major challenge people face after buying an Android device. Novice Android users don't know how to confirm how healthy a battery is, from its details printed at the back of the battery.
To ensure the battery device is strong or durable you can easily look at the body of the battery and locate the "mAh" of the battery. Now when buying any Android devices make sure the battery mAh capacity is up to 3000mAh or higher to have a long lasting battery.

2: Internal storage and RAM
This is also important to know when purchasing any Android device as it responsible for the flexibility of the phone. The internal storage reduces the moment you install any new app. so if your device don't have sufficient internal storage you will not be able to install many apps to your liking. Any android device you're buying, the internal Storage should be at least 8gb.
The RAM plays it role whenever you're running many apps at a time. If your RAM space is not enough for the apps running in your device at the same time it results to slowing and hanging of the phone.
So, to make sure your phone don't slow or hang while running many apps at the same time you will have to make sure the phone RAM space is up to 1GB or more.

3: Processor

Yes! You heard me right. The processor of Android devices should not be neglected because it is what makes your device respond very fast. It also takes care of how fast the downloading and browsing speed of your device will be.
To buy the best Android device this should not be oversight, make sure the phone processor is up to 1.3GHz quad-core processor and above.
By the time you comprehend all these in your criterial when buying an android device, for sure you will be going home with the best Android device

How To Generate GTBank Token Code Via USSD From Your Phone

Internet banking has come to stay and there is no doubt about that because it can only get better as time goes on. Gone are the days of long queues in the banking halls just to withdraw money from one's account.

If you are conversant with Internet transactions like buying stuffs online and paying for NEPA, DSTV, Flight Ticket, School fees etc online with your bank details, you will notice that you require a token from your bank to complete the transaction. It is a security measure to verify you are the real owner of the account and makes you unique.

In many banks, the token is a hardware that you carry around just like the way you take your debit cards along with you but GTB recently introduced a better way to use it without carrying it around. With your phone, you can now generate your unique internet banking token by dialing a designated USSD code from your handset, cell phone, mobile phone or tablet.

How You Can Generate Your Own GTBank Token Code Through USSD?
==> Dial **737*7# on the phone you used while opening your GTB account. i.e the phone number that is linked or associated with your GTBank account

==> Enter the NUBAN account number (you bank account number)
==> Finally, enter the last 6 digits of your GTBank debit card.

You unique token will be shown to you.

NOTE**
Every generated token expires at exactly 60 seconds which is 1 minute. So take note of that.

I think this is much better instead of wasting another extra N2,000 to request for a hardware token. I hope other banks follow suite

Whatsapp Will Be Ending Support On The Following Devices By The End Of The Year

Earlier this week WhatsApp turned seven years old. It has been an amazing journey and in the coming months we're putting an even greater emphasis on security features and more ways to stay in touch with the people that you care about.
But anniversary dates are also an opportunity to look back. When we started WhatsApp in 2009, people's use of mobile devices looked very different from today. The Apple App Store was only a few months old. About 70 percent of smartphones sold at the time had operating systems offered by BlackBerry and Nokia. Mobile operating systems offered by Google, Apple and Microsoft – which account for 99.5 percent of sales today – were on less than 25 percent of mobile devices sold at the time.
As we look ahead to our next seven years, we want to focus our efforts on the mobile platforms the vast majority of people use. So, by the end of 2016, we will be ending support for WhatsApp Messenger on the following mobile platforms:

BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
Nokia S40
Nokia Symbian S60
Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
Windows Phone 7.1

While these mobile devices have been an important part of our story, they don't offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future.
This was a tough decision for us to make, but the right one in order to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family, and loved ones using WhatsApp. If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone before the end of 2016 to continue using WhatsApp.

Nigerians has now been given the freedom to report any bank in which they are doing business with that Charges them illegally or Excessively direct to Central Bank Of Nigeria.

You can recall that recently Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) gave similar privilege to Nigerians making use of telecommunication networks which includes me and you that are using cell phones to Report Any network operator that Charges Excessively or deducts money illegally from their SIM cards.

HINT: To report any GSM network provider like MTN, Glo, Etialat or Airtel to NCC for extra charges or disturbing SMS, just dial this toll free number 622 to lay your complaint.

Now that we have the privilege to report our banks that Charges us illegally, I think it will put some fear on them and make them cautious next time. It's another good news from the government.

Airtel free browsing and download with 0.0k

Airtel and Glo has been very stingy in terms of free and cheap browsing tweaks unlike in MTN and Etisalat where ther are numerous free browsing tweaks to choose from. This airtel 0.00 tweak came out few months after we discovered Etisalat 0.00 trick but people neglected it because it selects SIM (doesn't work on all airtel sim cards).

However, the other setting for this airtel free browsing tweak doesn't select SIM and should work for you but it uses slow DNS instead of the popular Psiphon VPN app. In this post, i will be simple, precise and brief so that you will get the key points as fast as popular. Remember, am sharing this for people that are still finding it difficult to flex MTN and etisalat tweaks and for those that have a better network signal on airtel in their location. 

Am going to share with you two working settings for free browsing on airtel so you can try any of them.
Open your psiphon and follow the instructions:
Set it up as follows...
Tick remove port
Proxy Type:     Reverse Proxy
Proxy Server:    bit.ly/Airtel-wlcma
Real Proxy Type:    Inject
Real Proxy Server:
Real Proxy Port:      3128
Now Click Save
Turnel whole device

Tick connect through an HTTP
Tick use the following settings
Host Address:     94.23.200.49
Port:         3128
Go back and hit on connect

Wait for about 5 to 8 minutes and it should connect.
