There is serious trouble for iPhone 5 or iPhone 5c users all over the world as Apple has revealed the phone might be very useless soon. Apple, the producer of iPhone 5 or iPhone 5c, has confirmed that the users of the particular brand will be trouble soon following planed introduction of a new operating system which would render the existing phones useless. The new operating system iOS11, set to be rolled out later this year will effectively make the iPhone 5 and 5c device obsolete in terms of Apple’s ecosystem. According to the news.com.au, the software update will run only on devices with a 64-bit processor, meaning it won’t be compatible with the guts of the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5c that feature 32 bit processors. The same goes for the iPad 4. While the phone will still work (and it’s a little bit amazing that it still does), users won’t be able to download the latest apps or security upgrades to protect against hackers and vulnerabilities. Such a move has ...

If you have been bothered about how to safeguard your android phone from H@ckers, then this is the note you should go through.   Of all the operating systems currently in the market, Android operating system has a record of being the most purchased and sadly, the most H@cked. Applying this to Nigeria, any smart phone that is not Nokia, Apple or Blackberry, is running an Android Operating System, AOS. Yes, if you are not using any of the listed phone makers that run different operating systems, you are in risk of being H@cked. Fortunately, there are solutions or safety measures as AOS being susceptible to being H@cked does not take away its flexibility and ease of use. Another consoling fact is that AOS users need not be tech experts to carry out these safety measures. Be wary of everything on the internet:  This is the very first step. Read mail headings and words and be sure you know and trust the sender before clicking or following links in emails. Roug...

Iphones are fast becoming a yardstick to measure the social and economic statuses of people in the Nigerian society which has made the ostentatious product so coveted.   IPhone and Android-operated phones have been around for a while and there has been this raging issue about which is better. Nigerians are not exempted from this debate. Funny enough, you will find that Android users, if given the chance, will ditch their Android for iPhone. That is the love Nigerians have for the iPhone even if they cannot afford it. But the problem here is that their love is not based on an informed point of view because there are many Android phones that are far better than the iPhone. Regardless, Jumia Travel shares seven reasons why Nigerians love iPhone. They just like iOS better than Android Some Nigerians just like the iOS more than Android because of what they have heard over time about iPhone. Thanks to the solid and strong public relations machine of Apple, ...

This is a statistical report of the money spent on calls and other telecom services by the generality of Nigerians. The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has said Nigerians spent N3.66 trillion on telecommunications services in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Executive Vice Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Umar Dambatta, dropped the hint at the flag-off of the NCC Year of Consumer at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja. According to him, Nigerian subscribers spent $5.6 billion in 2015 and $6.6 billion in 2016, amounting to $12.2 billion (N3.6trn) on telecommunications services at an average exchange rate of N300.

And in 2016, they topped it up by another $1 billion to make it $6.6 billion.That is why ...

A new superfast charger that can charge a phone from 0% to 100% in 20 minutes has been built by a Chinese company. A Chinese technology company has designed a new battery which can charge to full in 20 minutes – beating current phones by a huge margin, Metro UK reports. Meizu’s Super mCharge can deliver up to 55 watts – using ‘two groups of conversion circuits to directly output half of the voltage.’ To put the speed in context, rivals such as iPhone 7 and Samsung’s Galaxy S7 take between 90 minutes and two hours to charge. The manufacturer of the product claims that the super-fast charging doesn’t damage batteries (usually the downside of fast charging technology). What’s not clear is when this tech will show up in handsets on the shelves – but it’s been shown off in working form, so it is likely to appear in Android handsets before too long.

WhatsApp Launches New ‘Status’ Feature for Sharing Videos and Photos That Expire After 24 Hours The company has re-invented the status tool – which until now has only offered the option to put a piece of text next to your name, like “at the gym” – so that it takes one of Snapchat’s most central and celebrated features. And it is just the latest Facebook company to do so – with everything from Instagram to Facebook’s own app taking its competitors innovations. People will now be able to share photos and videos as “statuses”, in a similar way to how stories work on Snapchat and now Instagram. Rather than simply posting text, they will be able to add pictures that will show for all their friends – until they are automatically deleted. Jam Koum, WhatsApp’s founder and boss, said that it had been working to improve the status feature ever since it was first introduced in 2009. The app was actually created as a way of posting these statuses – so that you could let all your friends a...

1. Avoid keeping your Phone in a hot or heated surface Sounds strange? Yes we know !!! Most smartphones have battery made of either Lithium ion or Lithium Polymer battery. These two elements used for production of cell phone batteries are badly affected when there are exposed to heat and this leads to drastic drain of the battery. 2. Use power saving mode Recent Smartphones come with power saving mood to conserve your cell battery, this feature limits you to necessary functions like call, messages, time, contacts etc. It saves your battery up to 90%, releasing more power to your cell.  So when you dont need internet service in your mobile phone put it in power saving mood. 3. Put off your phone from vibrate function When your phone is on vibration it tends to use additional battery power. Save your battery by switching it off. 4. Lower the brightness Phone brightness consumes 30% of your battery. Make your battery last longer by setting the screen brightness ...
