It's Black Friday: Hot deals on every online store!

Hello friends,

Finally it's black Friday... And it's kind of funny because of so many reasons. I know you will definitely be wondering what's funny about it but you won't understand. 

For over 2 weeks, we (Nigerians) have been getting lots of adverts from leading online shopping stores in Nigeria concerning their unbelievable deals but the result isn't like the adverts. 

Every friend I communicated with on whatsapp and other social networking platforms told me of their intentions in purchasing of extra gadgets; preferably android phones from these stores this Friday because of the discounts placed over this goods. Some of them have stayed up all night just for this; wishing to have the fastest fingers but... 

Note, I even joined in this quest of purchasing a discounted phone but some thing else happen. 

Immediately it was 12:04am, I got the pop up text about the device and it new price. I happily clicked on it but lo and behold, I got the error text... "can't locate server bla bla bla". 

I immediately switched to my Google chrome and I received same message. That was when I finally noticed that their site was down. 

Oh! This is so heart breaking; it's just as if am a survivor of a broken relationship. I better sleep now and reserve my data cos I believe this guys aren't ready to sell any thing!

Glo 1.2GB for N1000: Best Plan for Android Users

Hello all,

If you are having troubles rooting your android phone in order to change the IMEI number just to do the Glo blackberry plan (for my naija peeps #winks) then don’t stress yourself anymore. 

Glo just made life easier with their newest plan; N1,000 for 1.2GB Jeeez! It’s so true! 

Note: This is not a cheat, it’s a legal Glo plan. So, your conscience won’t be pricking you lolz.

How to activate this plan:

Dail *777# from your Glo line

Choose 1 – Data services

Choose 1 again – Buy data

Choose 2 for monthly data

Then finally choose 1 for 1.2GB – 30 Days.

That’s all and make sure that you have the sufficient airtime.

NB: If you are lucky, you will get 75 percent on any recharge you do on glo (dormant customers for 30 days). So after recharging 1000 for the plan, you will still have 750 naira to call/sms all networks in naija… Cool right?

Better Ways to increase your Android Battery life– Helpful Tips

Hello friends,

I get this complain every time from friends and people around me asking me how to make their android battery last longer stating that it’s the major problem they encounter using the OS. 

Have wrote some articles about battery saving tips on this blog. Click this link to read one of them - CLICK HERE and am here with more tips that will save your battery better. It works great!

Battery Saving tips for your Android Phone

1. Install only useful APPS!

I keep stressing this because it’s very important if you want more battery life. There is really no point installing lots of apps and you’re only using few of them. If what you always say is that “these apps will be useful one day” then what I suggest is that you backup those apps and uninstall it. When they become useful, install them back.

There is nothing to be proud of if you have 200 apps and you only use 12 on daily basics. Kick them out now!

2. Avoid using heavy launchers (themes).

This will shock you! 

This advice is the best I can give to you. If you are this music loving person, you use your phone to make phone calls or you are the social media type, it’s advisable to use the phone for those functions. Am not against the idea of using beautiful themes and launchers but what’s the benefit of using those launchers to beautify a phone that switches off before 24 hours? 

It’s best you pick one beautiful looking static wallpaper for your phone just to give it that beautiful feel and ignore some of these launchers that drains your battery quickly. 

NB: Same goes with live wallpapers. Avoid them because they consume more battery and RAM than normal static wallpapers.

3. Avoid those apps that automatically clears your running app / ram.

I know you will be shocked with this also for this is another important tip I think you should know. 

If you know your battery doesn’t serves you, uninstall those apps that automatically boosts your phone RAM or clear running apps – hope you know such apps? Those apps are good though but your battery life is more important. 

If your phone isn’t on, I don’t see how those apps would run. So, it’s better to do everything possible to keep your phone on for those important calls, messages and so on. 

You can clear your running apps manually after you are through with them even though this might be stressful.

4. Turn off data connection when not in use.

This point already explains itself. 

After surfing the web and you sure that you aren’t expecting any message from someone, it’s good to turn off your data connection. Leaving it on makes apps that uses data to be running in background that’s why some times you see some adverts displaying even when you aren’t surfing the web anymore.

This also include WI-FI connections. If you doubt me, try it one day.

I can go on and on with more tips but I think this is enough for this post. If you practice these tips listed above, am very sure you will enjoy your phone better. 

I will be sharing more tips in the future… So please bookmark this blog and subscribe to our newsletters.

Record your Voice Calls Automatically on Your Android Phone

Have you ever forgotten an information passed to you on phone before? Maybe because the call was so lengthy that you forgot some lines of the important message. Or have this ever cost you your job? Like your boss called you, then directed you somewhere but you didn’t get him clearly and there was no way you could get the information back because you didn’t jot them down. Or where you embarrassed because you got no prove of what somebody said to you on phone and when you met that person one on one, he denies everything he said? Oh! That’s really annoying! Like in this situation when your fiancée tells you her birthdate on phone but you weren’t with your diary then to note it and when that special day arrived, you forgot. Jeeez! You are gone man!

All those situations listed above would have been controlled only if you had those calls recorded. Now, do you think recording a call is really important? Sure it is! 

Most problems faced by people when downloading a particular app is looking for that perfect one; same thing goes in this situation. There are lots of ehmm ehmmm “not-good” apps on app store meant for phone recording but they don’t work fine that’s why I said “not-good” apps (having one problem or the other). Am here to really ease you that stress of searching round play store because I am going to give you a working link straight to the app.

The solution to Voice Call Recording is --- Call Recorder (that’s the name of the app).

Click here to download 

How to set it up

• Click the link above to download and then install
• Open app
• On Default, the On switch at the top right corner of the screen is active.
• You can then click the menu icon and go to settings
• Mark the Enable notifications and you can also change the File format but be very careful because the mp3 file format didn’t work for me. Am using the 3GPP file format.
• After that, you can put a call across with another number to test it.
• After the call, your successful call record notification will appear at the notification bar.
• Click on it then play the recorded file with any of your music player.
  

NB: The recorded files are placed on your memory card. Sdcard/callrecorder

That’s all! By doing this, all your calls both incoming and outgoing will be recorded automatically.

• Now locate and click the Move tab by the top right part of your screen.
• Mark the apps you want to click and after marking, click Move to Sd Card.
• A new window will open (your default app manager window.
• Click the Move to Sd Card.  After that press back and continue for all the apps you have marked by pressing the Move to sd card turn by turn.

…That should be all

How to clear the cache files and other in-relevant files on your sd card.

• Open clean master and locate Junk Files
•  After it finish counting, leave the System Cache marked, you can unmark others.
  
• After marking and un-marking your desired apps, click Clean Junk and wait for the process to complete.

Note: Some of this apps / files / folders are important to you. So check closely before clicking clean.

After doing this, you can check your device memory space and see how clean master helped you in creating and freeing more space.
