Some months back, we discussed about mtn 4G LTE network which was said to be launched in the month of July. And yea, they've taken a big step to make this possible as on wednesday, MTN Nigeria was formally declared as the winner of the 2.6GHz spectrum auction by the national communication Commission (NCC). Thus remitting N18.96 Billion to the Federal Government of Nigeria as payment to slots it won in the 2.6GHz spectrum auction.


The 2.6GHz acquisition, NCC said, will kick-start a broadband revolution that will unlock greater coverage, access, affordability and innovation, with the customer. And this will certainly unveil 4G LTE broadband internet services across the country, starting in the major cities of Lagos and Abuja.

The 4G LTE sign can now be seen on some devices, making Mtn's plan to deliver global mobile broadband and LTE 4G services to over 60 million customers in Nigeria successful.


Once the 4G LTE network is officially launched by mtn, then we'll be able to explore the internet with faster speed. What's your take on this?

Chinese OEM Infinix has been working on their own custom user interface called XOS. Thus aiming to join the league of many other android smartphone manufacturers who already have theirs.

Android smartphone manufacturers like Samsung with TouchWiz, HTC with Sense UI, Huawei with Emotion UI amongst others, have their own custom user interface (underlined)! And Infinix with XOS will join them soon.
This is one reason I love Android devices because it gives manufactures full capability to customize your OS the way you want.

This has happened again, i'm sure you guys are enjoying etisalat bblite, all I can say is enjoy it while it lasts because a bloody snitch has told etisalat everything. (he even included the psiphon settings) :mrgreen:

If you could remember that mtn life+ free browsing which was working fine & fast, well, it was blocked because someone also told mtn about it.
And now, our new bblite might be terminated at anything from now because a guy bearing Isah Abubakr has let the cat out of the bag & the funniest part is that he included the psiphon settings (omg :) ), he should have given them screenshots too, so that everything will be perfect :mrgreen: :grin:

Google Chrome, which is one of the most widely used browsers globally with about 55.7% share on desktop and 34.6% market share on mobile. However, in a recent test performed by Microsoft, they proved that Google Chrome drains laptops battery more than any other browser.

Microsoft performed a test with four similar Surface Books streaming media from four
different web browsers. The test was timed and the computer running Google Chrome was the first to die after 4 hours and 19 minutes.

The next to die was the Firefox which lasted for 5 hours and 9 minutes.

Opera has been working on a battery saving feature and this seems to be quite effective as the computer running the browser lasted 6 hours and 18 minutes.


Microsoft Edge took the crown as the machine running it lasted 7 hours and 22 minutes, giving it about 3 more solid hours of use over Google Chrome.

This is just a business strategy.
Microsoft is trying to persuade people to use its browser, but apart from this great battery management, the browser still has a lot of catching-up to do with the rest. Lack of extension is one of the reasons a lot of people are yet to adopt it, unavailability on mobile platforms like Android and iOS is another.

Some many features are been added to facebook on a daily basis, some noticeable, while others are not. But facebook is specially expanding and improving its live video platform this year, starting with using video clips has dp, introducing facebook camera, adding video replies in comments and now support for face-swapping app MSQRD.

In the coming weeks, you can go live on Facebook from the MSQRD app and utilize its many different Snapchat-like masks and filters while the video is running. However it's unknown if it'll integrate it to the Messenger App.


Facebook’s director of product, Fidji Simon, announced MSQRD integration today at VidCon, the annual online video conference in Anaheim, CA.

Snapchat purchased facial recognition startup Looksery last year to build out its selfie lens store. And with the help of Looksery, a face-swap technology similar to MSQRD's was developed. The goal is to make video, whether recorded or broadcast live, as dynamic and appealing as possible.
Snapchat's lenses have been a huge hit, so it's no wonder Facebook has acted fast to incorporate MSQRD technology into its fast-growing Live platform.

Also, starting later this summer, you'll be able to invite a friend to "drop in" on a live broadcast on facebook." With this format, one can perform: interviews, debates, duets, collaborations, and more,"
Facebook wrote in a press release.
The company will also soon let you schedule a live broadcast, and it's built out a lobby system so people can hangout before one starts.

Both features will launch later this summer for owners of Verified Pages, but Facebook expects to make them widely available shortly thereafter.
In one sense, Facebook's move is another amplification in the
ongoing video and messaging war the company is waging against Snapchat. Who do you think will win?

Android OS is under attack by a very deadly malware/virus which can completely destroy its victim's device. This malware called Godless has been recently discovered, and it claims to targets devices running Android Lollipop or earlier.

The above image shows countries which Godless Virus has penetrated, and as you can see, India is taking number one spot with affected android devices clocking 46%. This is quite surprising as approximately 1 billion Indians don't browse. So how come did this malware hit them so hard? (reports coming soon).

Godless seems to be attacking more android devices in Asia, as Indonesia and Thailand are reportedly the second and third countries infiltrated with this dangerous malware. Let's take a look at some facts about this virus below.

FACTS ABOUT GODLESS VIRUS/MALWARE

1. Godless repeatedly downloads unwanted apps, silently install them, and often display malicious ads.
2. Godless uses a framework called "android-rooting-tools" to gain root access to Android-based devices.
3. Godless has already infected over 850,000 devices worldwide, bad actors delivered it through malicious applications deployed in legitimate app stores, including Google Play.
4. Godless also installs back-doors and spy on users.
5. Even if your Android device is not rooted, Godless will root it for you without you knowing.
6. Numerous applications on Google Play store were found to be containing malicious code affiliated to Godless.

This virus is really bad mehn, lets see some preventive measures, because if your android device gets affected with Godless, you won't be able to use the phone unless Android comes up with a counter attack against this virus (which I hope they'll do soon)

HOW TO PREVENT GODLESS VIRUS ATTACK

1. >>Always review the developer when downloading an application, and should be wary of unknown developers with very little or no background information, as they could be the source of malicious apps.
2. Download apps from trusted stores.
3. Stay away from playstore for now

Android operating system has been vulnerable to malware attacks but always find a way out, we hope they do so against Godless. Kindly share this.

Almost everyone is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Tecno Camon C9 into the Nigeria market, considering the leaked specs which later turned out accurate after much confirmation.

Tecno Camon C9 is being marketed more as a camera smartphone and that even reflects in the packaging of the device.


Thankfully, we now have Tecno Camon C9 in our hands and we’d ask that you join us in unboxing the smartphone.

THE PACKAGING OF TECNO CAMON C9
Apart from features or design, Tecno did a great job in packaging camon c9.
The packaging consists of two packs featuring three major colors; Black, Blue and silver.


As you can see on the pack something that resembles a camera lens, which we believe is what the smartphone is channeled at. The pack can be detached from the main blue pack containing all that Tecno has to offer with the Camon C9.


There’s nothing necessary at the sides of Tecno Camon C9 pack, except for the Tecno brand stated at all sides of the black and silver color pack.


While at the bottom of the pack are the usual details we see almost on all phone packz; the phone’s specs, a label containing information on the phone’s color variant, IMEI number and a few other information that you probably shouldn't care about.

UNBOXING: WHAT'S INSIDE TECNO CAMON C9 PACK:
We're gradually coming to the part where (I think) you all have been waiting for. However, unboxing the park, the first thing your eye will behold is the majestic and amazing Tecno Camon C9.


Still perusing through the pack, these are basically what you’d find:

• The Tecno Camon C9 smartphone
• A Warranty card
• The USB Cable
• The Charger
• The Earpiece
• Pouch for Tecno Camon C9 and it’s friends
• A user manual
• The usual Tecno's warranty stickers
• Palmchat leaflet and,
• An ejector pin.

LOOKING AT TECNO CAMON C9 ITSELF
We've come to main part where we'll take an explicit look at the smartphone itself, follow me.

Tecno Camon C9 smartphone itself is available in three basic color variants. However, we have the sandstone black color variant here at Techpaded.com


The front facing 13 megapixels camera is located at the top-center part of the screen while the front facing flash is at the top-left side of the screen. Same line with the camera placement.


The vol+, vol- and the power buttons are at the right side of the phone. While there is no button on the left side of Tecno Camon C9.


You have the charging part (and microphone) situated at the bottom of the phone.


At the top of the smartphone, is the 3.5mm jack for earphones and headphone. There’s nothing more in that region.


The 13 megapixels rear camera is found at the back (center top) and just after the camera, you have the LED flash, then Tecno branding.


You have the Camon tag and just below that, the loud speaker also the lower part of the back region. Here are some photos of Tecno Camon C9 accessory.
