Glo Has Yet Again Increased Its Data Cap - See This


This is mysteriously crazy and unbelievable. Glo, the grand master of data has increased its data cap. You now get more data for same old price

Glo Old Data Price And Bundle
The picture below was the old data bundle Glo used to offer.


Even MTN, Airtel and Etisalat couldn't give us this old one oo.. Talk-less of the new plan.

New Glo Data Plans
Glo has added more data cap on the same old price.
» N1000 = 3.2GB
» N2000 = 7.5GB
» N2500 = 10GB
» N3000 = 12GB


Now, Glo has added extra 1.2GB to the N1000 plan and 1.5GB extra data to the N2000 plan. There is a new plan also, which offers 2GB + 2.5GB on campus + N2000 airtime & 500MB data to gift, and this plan costs just N2000. See hw data dey fly

Disadvantage
Glo and their network will frustrate you to your toes. While some people are enjoying good Glo network, other are not. This might be the bad side of this new data plan because if there's poor network, you won't use all your data and it'll just expire.

Advantages
- Unused data rollover
- 30 days validity
- You can't find this kind of data anywhere else, not even in china, lol.

I was discussing with a man from Ghana, he said Airtel Ghana offers them 750MB for 10cedis. But the guy was still complaining... Why? The validity is just 1 day.

So? If Airtel NG can give we Nigerians this bundle, we'll be rolling on the floor in appreciation.

*777# is Glo data subscription code. Kindly share this post and tell us your opinions about this via comments. Enjoy!

Facebook Messenger Imitates WhatsApp, Brings End To End Encryption On Conversations


Facebook has started rolling out secret conversation features which is known as end-to-end encryption on Messenger just as whatsapp have it. I saw it just last night when i was chatting with someone.



In July this year Facebook announced it is working on the feature and right now, it is already live and available. Although all your messages are not encrypted at default (as on WhatsApp) but you have to manually select which messages or to enscript before it will be activated.

This new Messenger feature will help “support conversations about sensitive topics.” The Facebook newsroom announcement read,
“We’ve heard from you that there are times when you want additional safeguards — perhaps when discussing private information like an illness or a health issue with trusted friends and family, or sending financial information to an accountant. To enable you to do this we are starting to test the ability to create one-to-one secret conversations in Messenger that will be end-to-end encrypted and which can only be read on one device of the person you’re communicating with.”

   

HOW CAN I USE FACEBOOK MESSENGER SECRET CONVERSATION (ENCRYPTION)
To start a secret conversation, follow below steps
✔ While on messenger, tap on a friend’s name (you want to chat secretly with)
✔ And just below the Audio, Video call option, you should see the Secret Conversation if the update has rolled out to you.
✔ Now tap on Secret Conversation
✔ At this point you can start an end-to-end encrypted chatting session

Interestingly, you can also set a timer to automatically delete the messages at a specified time.

To give your conversation more protection, Facebook made it in such a way that your secret chats won't be accessible in any other device. For instance, you started a secret conversation with someone via your laptop and you want to continue the same chat on your smartphone, it won't be possible.

Also note that you might not be able to start a Secret Conversation with everyone, even if you have the update, because your friend might still not have the feature.

How To Use Google Duo Video Calling App On Your Phone



Google Duo is an application from Google Inc. that allow users make video calls with the contacts on their phone using the app. The app is interesting as it makes use of your phone number instead of the traditional Google+ or Gmail account for authentication. So it makes it lots simple to establish communication with your contacts who uses the app also or you can easily invite anyone to use the app and communicate with you.

Another interesting feature of the Duo is its ability to consume less data during video calls which beats what other video calling apps like Skype, Facebook messenger, Imo and the rest offers.

The Duo application is Currently available on both android and iOS platform so users can easily head over to playstore and iTunes respectively to download it.


"In this post, i will show you how to setup Google Duo app for video calling in case you are finding it difficult to use after downloading. Although, the app is simple to use and the settings are just easy."


SETTING UP DUO FOR VIDEO CALLING
1.Firstly, Download Google Duo from playstore

3. Accept the Google's Terms and Conditions for the Duo app.

4. While those using lower android version can accept the terms with one tap, those on Marshmallow or higher OS will have to accept it one-by-one
=> Allow Duo to take pictures and video so that the app (and whoever calls you) can see you.
=> Allow Duo to record audio so that the app (and whoever calls you) can hear you.
=> Allow Duo to access your contacts so that it can see which of your contacts are on Google Duo and who you could invite to the service.
=> Allow Duo to send and view text messages to that it can send invites to your contacts and so it can see the verification code you'll receive in a few steps.
   



5. After that, type in the phone number to use with Google Duo.

6. To verify you are the rightful owner of the number, you will receive an SMS on the line It may automatically read the verification code or you’ll need to enter it manually just like WhatsApp verification.

7. At this point, the duo app is all set.

HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO CALL WITH DUO

1. While the app is opened, tap on Video Call.

2. Choose the person you'd like to call from your contacts or type in the number you'd like to reach.

4. Duo will call your contact, making your video visible with Knock Knock feature.

5. To end or drop your call, simply tap the red phone button in the bottom center of your screen.


OTHER GOOGLE DUO APP SETTINGS
To go into the settings tab, just tap the three-dot menu in the top-left corner of the app's main screen and select Settings.

In case you don't want to use the "Knock Knock", (a feature that allows your callers to see your video first before picking your call), you can turn it off by "sliding the toggle for Knock Knock off".

Also you can setup how your data is consumed because at default, the app minimizes data usage by delivering low quality videos on calls with cellular data but full video quality when connected to WiFi. So you can toggle the switch ON or OFF according to your preference.

Introducing Duo And Allo - Google Latest Video And Messaging Apps


acetime", Google is introducing Facetime with their latest app called "Duo".
But what is Duo? It is simply Google’s video app that uses your phone number as an ID unlike on iOS devices where FaceTime uses Apple ID. Google said that the Duo will support end-to-end encryption and will be available on Android and iOS platforms.

Also included in the app is an awesome feature called “Knock Knock” this feature displays the video of the person calling you before you even pick up to answer the call. Meanwhile, Googles Duo lacks the ability to make conference video calls but i hope it will be included in subsequent updates.


What Is Google's Allo?
Allo is another application from google specifically meant for messaging just like every other messenger, but with a touch of Google.
   


Some Features Of Google Allo Messenger
=> It allows users to know how big the text size of a reply is with the “whisper and shout,” feature

Wonder Phone: Meet World's First 12GB RAM Smartphone, Turing Cadenza With 1TB Memory

Initially when i saw this, i actually thought the company was playing fool on us but then, i remembered we are not in April but in September so it's real. Meet the world's first ever phone to come with whooping 12GB or RAM and unprecedented 1TB (Terabyte) of storage space. Amazing isn't it? Relax am coming.
This Smartphone is currently turning the tech and mobile phone industry upside down. Imagine coming out at a time when Apple and Samsung boasted of having the best Smartphones in the world currently; iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It's a serious bad market for them as this 12GB RAM phone beat them down specs-wise completely. 

It's worthy to note that the Smartphone codenamed Turing Cadenza is not the first device from the Turing Robotic Industry but this one is absolutely exceptional. Wondering what i might be doing with a 12GB RAM device on my hand. 

The company's CEO Steve Chao said that the phone is part of the "The Outlander Blueprint" program which aims to integrate artificial intelligence into smartphones.


TURING CADENZA SMARTPHONE FEATURES 

Everything about the device is out of this world as it has no rival at all. The closest you can get is the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe With 6GB RAM and maybe the latest iPhone 7 and Galaxy note 7. 

PROCESSOR & RAM
Now check the specs of this beast of a phone. It features two Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 chipsets with two 6GB LDDDRX RAMs, making it the first ever smartphone to have a whopping 12 GB of RAM.

CAMERA 
Now, camera lovers will be crazy on this, the Turing Cadenza phone packs a wonder 60MP shooter "iMAX 6K Quad at the back and Triple Lens/ T1.2" as well as 20MP front-facing camera for selfies. Can you beat that? 

PLATFORM
The device is expected to run on Swordfish Operating System which is an unannounced OS based on Sailfish that will feature AI deep learning. I don't like this part. 

SIM CARD
Users of the Smartphone can install a total of four SIM cards. The said device can also support WiGig that can deliver speeds of 60GHz 91Gbps.

BATTERY
The phone will be powered by Three batteries (power sources) - main power is a 2400mAh Graphene Supercapacitor Battery while the other 1600mAh Li-Ion plus a Hydrogen Fuel cell supports it. Another aspect i don't like on the phone. 
Watch the 2min full specs video



TURING PHONE CADENZA SPECIFICATIONS

Amazing 1TB SD Card Now Unveiled By SanDisk, What Would You Do With Such Memory Card?


After the recent release of 256GB SD card, popular memory device manufacturer SanDisk have just unveiled the 1TB SD card (prototype version). It might interest you to know that capacity of memory devices are regularly doubled every two years

Lexar launched the first 128GB SD card in early 2011 then in late 2012 the first 256GB card. Meanwhile, SanDisk took the lead in late 2014 with the first 512GB card and now it's doubling the max capacity again.

At the moment, this SanDisk 1TB SD Card it's just a prototype as the official price of the memory card is not yet available.
   

Technology is really growing with fast pace because i could remember the very first SD card produced by SanDisk was just 64MB in capacity 16 years ago and now we have 1 Terabytes device from the same company.
     
           WHO ARE LIKELY TO USE THE SD CARD
The SD card is of course not for every device as it takes a special gadget or phone to be compatible with it. So the main set of people that this card will be of great importance to are big time, classic, veteran photographers, studios as will fantastically suit growing number of 4K cameras, 360° cameras for VR and the newer 4K @ 60fps, which normally eat up even more storage and 6K seems to be on the horizon too.

Another set of people it will be useful to are those using sophisticated smartphones or electronic devices that can support external SD of up to 1TB.

But what can you do with a 1TB micro SD card? Wondering...

Some of these phones also serve as powerbank and charges other phones and gadgets with the help of an OTG chord. The long lasting battery started with Gionee M2 in 2014. The phone was nicknamed 'Marathon' M2 because of how strong and longevity of the battery then. Fast forward it to this day - a lot of phone manufacturers have discovered this as a very important factor especially in countries with epileptic power supply. So we now have so many of them now but i will focus on the commonly available devices you can get around.

Imagine using a 4 inch smartphone with 1,500mAh battery capacity. Upon that, it uses just 5MP rear camera. Seriously, it's absolutely awkward and i feel like flogging Samsung right now not looking the phone's price.


Who would buy this Samsung Z2 when there are lots of Chinese phones with more better specs.    

Get 3GB For N1000 When You Buy Samsung Tizen Z2 Smartphone From MTN


MTN is offering a data package of 3GB for just N1000 when you buy the new Samsung Tizen Z2. Apart from that, MTN claims that you will get other gifts from their stores.

Samsung Z2 is a "Tizen" powered Smartphone and the first of its kind in Africa. Do you want to know the meaning of Tizen? Click Here. Though the phone is not decorated with interesting specs as it features so many low-end specs that are definitely no go area for me and so many people.

It comes with a 4.0 inch HD screen with a resolution of 480*800 pixels, 8GB internal memory. 1.5GHZ Quadcore processor, 1GB RAM and and expandable storage. It has a standard camera of 5.0 megapixels behind and 0.2 megapixels front camera with a powerful Tizen OS.

The worst part of all is the meagre 1500mAh battery capacity, WTF? It has dual SIM functionality though plus a wireless technology with full 4G LTE support.

HOW TO GET IT
Visit any of the MTN stores listed below and order for it.
✔ Ikoyi Service Centre
✔ Ibadan Service Centre
✔ New Portharcourt Service Centre
✔ Abuja Service Centre.

Can you buy that phone because of 3gb data and some freebies from MTN? The choice is definitely yours.

List Of Countries With Best Developers, See Where USA and Nigeria Ranked

List Of Countries With Best Developers, See Where USA and Nigeria Ranked



Have you ever wondered how well your country is doing in the ICT world? Is your country among the top inclined in the ICT community when compared with other? A recent visit of Mark Zuckerberg to Africa, Nigeria and Kenya particularly has spurred me to make some research about how well our country is performing in the field.
 

Well, i wasn't disappointed as Nigeria was found in the list of top 50 countries with best developers and programmers. Like Zuckerberg would say, "the energy here is amazing". In fact, Nigeria performed good in all the categories of rank. 

The rank was published by a California-based firm known as HackerRank and the study shows which countries have the best developers. A little introduction of HackerRank shows its a free coding practice website that allows developers to showcase their coding skills by solving challenges.


 It would interest you to note that Nigeria made the list ranking 48 in the table. Other African countries that made the list include Egypt(42) and South Africa (43). But surprisingly, United States (28) of America and even United Kingdom didn't perform as expected. China, being what they are, still tops. In fact, the country is toping in virtually every good thing in all spheres of like at the moment. So why are we still looking down on them? 


The report also highlighted which countries produce the best developers in a particular skill area.


Again, from the chart above, Nigeria did quite well in one skill area – Ruby.


However, the next insight from the report which might now augur well with many Nigerians is the report highlighting which countries are more likely than the rest to take a test in a skill set. As seen from the chart, Nigeria would “unusually likely” participate in Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, and functional programming.

While we celebrate Nigeria's inclusion in the rank, we won't forget the good strides of China. The country is just an inspiration for others as they are setting the pace in virtually everything when it comes to technology.

    Are you dreaming to have a feel of what the new Google Nexus phones look like? The launcher is now available for download via apk and recovery mode. It comes with the newly introduced Google button and slide-up app drawer. Also available on this launcher is the quick search and access to google now.

HIGHLIGHT FEATURES OF NEXUS LAUNCHER

✔ App drawer icon is now replaced with a "slide up" style app drawer. You can now go to your apps menu by just sliding up an arrow located just before the static icons along the home screen button

✔ There is now a "G" tab located in the upper-left corner of the screen. When this icon is tapped, the regular Google search bar will pop up.

✔ The calendar widget now hovers in the upper-left. And it's reported that it cannot be moved or changed. This will potentially not augur well with some people shaa

HOW IT WORKS
After installing this launcher on your phone, you will now have to press the home screen to see the settings menu that has "show Google app when swiping left" option and including screen rotation option as well adding or subtracting app suggestions at the drawer's top to access Google now, you just swipe from the left edge to open it.
   


HOW TO INSTALL GOOGLE NEXUS LAUNCHER

The Nexus Launcher has two installation methods; the apk method and the recovery mode method. 

✔ Download Nexus Launcher Recovery mode Zip Here

✔ Download Nexus Launcher Apk Here

✔ Download Wallpaper Picker Apk Here. (it fixes crashes when you installed via the normal apk mode)


INSTALLING VIA RECOVERY MODE METHOD (Best)
To install this launcher using this method, download the nexus launcher zip from the link above and place it at the root of your sdcard, (not inside any folder), then boot your phone into TWRP or CWM, click on install and locate the downloaded zip file, then flash and reboot.


INSTALLING VIA NORMAL APK METHOD
This is the most simplest method but doesn't give perfect results although i have a fix for that. Go to your phone settings and enable installation from unknown source. After that, download the Apk file from the link above and click to install

NOTE 
The bug with the apk method is that Nexus launcher will crash anytime you try to pick or change your wallpaper.


HOW TO FIX THE CRASHING BUG
To fix it, you have to also download Wallpaper Picker. Just download from the link above as well and Install both apks and the bug will be a past tense.
