Amazing tips you should try out on your smartphone

10-amazing-tips-and-tricks-you-should-try-out-on-your-smartphone-3

The thing about smartphones is that these premium devices have been made for a wide variety of use but unfortunately, we most times get stuck using these devices for just the most basic of things. What you might not know is that every time you change your phone from one to another with higher quality and specs, the only thing you get is not just another piece of hardware to make calls, send and receive messages, surf the internet and have fun only but so much more. Today, we are going into tips and tricks on how better you can fully utilise your devices to get the best value for your money, impress yourself and even your friends with your great repertoire of knowledge.




  1. Customize your lock screen
10-amazing-tips-and-tricks-you-should-try-out-on-your-smartphone-1-375x600
Phones, like any other thing that we carry around daily, are bound to get lost at one time or the other and most times when these devices are found, they cannot be gotten to the owners because they are usually locked and no contact information can be pulled from it. Customise your device’s lock screen to have your contact info on it in the case of loss or theft and increase your chances of locating it. on Android, Health, iOS and even Windows, you would just need to go to settings and customise our wallpaper to get this done.
2.  Know your songs faster
If you wanted to know what music you were listening to in the past, or currently, you might still be in the habit of having to run a search query via music apps such as Shazam or SoundHound. Why not ditch that stress and instead, just ask nicely from Google Now (Android), Siri (Apple) or Cortana (Microsoft)?

3.  Digitalize your documents 
Gone are the days when the best way to get your documents secured on your device was via scanning. Now, thanks to the fact that smartphone makers are now giving increasing concern to the issue of cameras, you can just take a very good snapshot of these documents and then secure them with the use of various stock apps such as Evernote, Google Drive and CamScanner. This sure saves you a lot of money to file them away and provides comfort too.




4. Wi-Fi Voice control
You won’t always have time on your hands to do even the most basic things on your device – we know that, and your smartphone knows that, and that is why it is here to help. For a simple operation such as turning off the Wi-Fi of your device, you could just use any of Siri, Google Now or Cortana and when launched, a simple “turn off Wi-Fi” while you are doing any other thing would do the trick.

5. Flush the RAM on your iPhone

Unlike we have seen on Android devices and come to appreciate so well too, there doesn’t seem to be a safe mode on iOS devices but that doesn’t still mean you are not allowed to clear out the memory, free very good space and get things running with speed again. All you need do is to long press the power button. On doing this, a “slide” message appears after which you would need to long press the home button likewise. Hey, wasn’t that easy and neat? You didn’t even need to call up an engineer there.

6. Protect your device from kids and friends
For the Android Marshmallow users, this one is an exclusive for you and if pulled off well, it is an extremely neat trick to feel safe even when your device is at the mercy of your friends or kids. Head over to Settings on your device, scroll and tap on Security and your next stop under this drop down would be Screen pinning. What this feature simply allow you do is to pin apps that are on the multitasking screen and for apps to be switched, your special PIN would be required. Way to keep external users jailed while using your phone, don’t you think?




7. Speed up your charging
Just like everyone else, you want your device to spend as less time as possible connected to a power source and in that small time frame, you want to get the maximum battery charge accumulated. A simple trick for this is to switch your smartphone to the airplane mode which would kill all connections, underground refreshes and reloadings and convert both the active and passive charge voltages into accumulation for you.

8.  What’s draining your battery?
With greater smartphones comes greater processing power and this of course impacts the battery life. However, even after we have charged the device and then see it dropping due to use, we don’t want to believe sometime that the rate of drop is normal. For this, you can just head over to your device’s Settings and find out from your Battery Settings what it is that is draining your battery. Trust me, the details would amaze you.




9. Think your phone, think PC remote.
There are a bunch of apps out there that you might not know about which would help you make your device some sort of remote control to impact your PC. Suh apps includes Spotify, YouTube and the likes. While these may be limited in the kind of remote controls they give, you could check out others such as Unified Remote and Alfred to give your device full control to you PC at a distance.

10.Get huge files through your phone’s email
We all are not strangers to the way the email technology works and you would agree that there is a certain size limit to files that can be sent via email. The good news you might not have known all these while is that there is a feature that has been existent since the days of iOS 9.2 which allows you to email large files from your iPhone and provides cloud support for such files with a download link which can be used within 30 days.

Biodegradable Waste: Ugandan Scientists to Make Plastic Bags Out of Cassava






Plant science researchers in Uganda have developed plastic material from the cassava crop. When disposed, the biodegradable plastic easily rots into manure.

Once adopted, the cassava plastic could provide the solution to the plastic bag menace that is choking a lot of urban cities in Africa.
While the material is still at the trial stage in the government laboratories, the researchers expect to begin mass production in two years time.

Nigerian Entrepreneur Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, CEO Of Wecyclers, Got An Investment Offer She Couldn't Refuse


The story appears to be changing overnight for some Nigerian internet entrepreneurs. For some reason, they seem to be getting that much-needed attention from investors across the globe.



While we’re still basking in the excitement of ToLet.com.ng’s recent $1.2m funding round, Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, CEO of Wecyclers, a recycling company in Lagos, just got an offer from an international investor that is too good to turn down.
The offer was made by Eric Guichard during a live recording of Business Daily hosted by Didi Akinyelure. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola was speaking about the challenges of running a waste management company. “As a business, we’ve been working for about four years now and literally spent about a year putting together investment proposal for investors. And I know that investors are naturally very risk averse,” she said.


Eric Guichard shocked the audience with his response saying, “Let me suggest that we will take your business proposal and what we will do is tie you up with a technology company in India. We will grow your asset base, we will issue a 2 to 5 years diaspora bond against those assets that will be backed 50% by the US government through USAID development credit authority.”
Now does it really get better than that? This is a developing story, we will bring you updates as they unfold.



COMING SOON TO NIGERIA: MadeInAba.Com.Ng, An E-Commerce Platform For Products Made In Aba, Is Launching On October 1st



Mark Essien thinks setting up a company in Rwanda is like driving a Tesla, while setting up a company in Ghana is like riding horse and chariot. That’s fair. Me thinks setting one up in Nigeria is like trying to sell Gala sausages to someone in traffic, only that the bus driver insists on driving as fast as Lagos traffic will allow him, meandering from lane to lane


Don’t mind me. There’s better news. Yesterday, Sam Hart (Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Abia State, Nigeria) announced MadeInAba.com.ng on Twitter. OnOctober 1, the Alibaba-Jumia Hybrid (as he described it) will officially launch, and give the rest of the country access to the products made in Aba.
Context, for those who don’t live here: Aba is located in South East Nigeria, and is home to lots of artisans who make shoes, bags, belts, clothes, etc. The “Made In Aba” trope is one that’s typically used to look down on these products as inferior (it’s not helped by the fact that some of them are imitations of Western brands), but the Abia State government is turning that narrative on its head. If MadeInAba.com.ng is properly executed, it will give these traders/producers a much larger market to sell to, than the people (mostly resellers) who are brave enough to take a trip to that neck of the woods.

So we received a release that gave more info about MadeInAba.com.ng. You know the basics – it’s an e-commerce site that’ll make all (or most of) the products that are made in Aba available to buyers from all parts of Nigeria. What you don’t know is:

  • There’ll be a customer-protection feature where payments won’t be released to merchants until customers receive their purchases and confirm they are satisfied with them.
  • Merchant/manufacturer profiles will come with verification tags to help customers decide who to buy from. Verified profile will be discernible from non-verified ones.
  • There’ll be physical stores where customers can buy MadeInAba products. The stores will offer wholesale and retail services and will take orders from customers, contact the producers and ensure delivery. There should be MadeInAba stores in Lagos and Abuja by next year.
  • Merchants who sign up for free can post up to 50 products of their on the site.

Infinix Hot S Vs Tecno Camon C9

The Camon C9 is an upgrade of the insanely popular Tecno Camon C8 and it features some impressive specifications that make it significantly better than its predecessor. Infinix on the other hand, the infinix Hot S has some awesome specs that its predecessor never had.
After much anticipation for this two smartphones, they were finally launched. Tecno camon c9 was the first to be lauched by Tecno. As usual, it seems infinix was waiting for it rival and was also launched few days later.
One can easily say that these two Smartphones has already taken over the market currently but then the choice is really hard to make as these two phones seems to have similar features. Unless you can be able to analyze them wisely before the best can be picked out of this two and that is why we are here to give you the differences/similarities of this two devices.
infinix-hot-s-vs-tecno-c9
Differences/Similarities between these two devices
The design & display:

INFINIX HOT S: The infinix hot s comes with a 5.2 inch display which makes it an average phone. Not too big, not too small. Although while we have different persons that would love a bigger phone, some individuals would still prefer a handy phone. The infinix hot s also features a 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution which keeps it in a full HD display. Infinix Hot S looks premium with curves on the edges, metal frame, and is available in rose gold, gold, black, silver, and blue.
TECNO CAMON C9: The tecno camon c9 on the this features a 5.5 inch display which makes it a little bit bigger than the infinix Hot S. Just like the Infinix hot S, it also comes with a 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution for a better viewing experience.
Well my take on this is that, as far as they have same pixel resolutions, the infinix hot s would be preferable to most people of the 5.2 inch size.
The cameras
INFINX HOT S: When it comes to looking for one of the best camera phone to buy, the infinx hot s should be a choice as it comes with an awesome camera feature with good quality. On the back, you have a 13 megapixels camera with dual LED flash and on the front is an 8 megapixels wide-angle camera with a soft LED flash. For the selfie lovers, this would be good for you. Even though you are to use a selfie stick, i think it would make out a good choice because it feaures 8MP at the front of which most camera phones have at the back.
TECNO CAMON C9: This one also features a 13MP camera at the back and again 13MP at the front for taking selfies. But then, it features an iris scan camera which will make it easy for you to unlock your phone even without a password.
Well, it’s a matter of choice. You decide what you want.
Processors
INFINIX HOT S: The infinix hot s comes in two version, one with 2GB ram & 16GB internal storage and one with 3GB ram & 32Gb internal storage but then it features 64-bit, 1.5GHz octa-core Processor (MediaTek MTK6753) which makes it a fast device. You wouldn’t have to complain about lagging when running heavy apps on it such as games etc.
TECNO CAMON C9: The tecno camon c9 only comes with one version of it that features 2GB & 16Gb internal storage with 64-bit, 1.3GHz octa-core Processor (Mediatek MT6753).
Well, i think the infinix hot s comes in front here with its 1.5GHz octa-core processor which makes it a good one
The Fingerprint Sensor
INFINIX HOT S: The fingerprint feature is a wonderful feature for most big devices as not many devices has this feature but the infinix hot s comes with this which makes it the first phone from the infinix brand to feature such. With this fingerprint sensor, you easily unlock your phone upon detecting your fingers. This can make for a better security.
TECNO CAMON C9: You should know that the tecno camon c9 does not come with such feature.

CONCLUSION

Every other features are similar in these two devices. For now these are the only differences in them. It’s quite obvious that the infinix brand has something more to offer here. Not because i’m an infinix fan though but because of the differences i have seen in them.
Now talking about the prices, the tecno camon c9 is even a little bit expensive than the Infinix hot s.
So my friend, the choice is yours!

Today’s Android smartphones have both inbuilt phone memories which should be enough to store movies, songs, apps and documents. However, sooner or later your device may become slow, sluggish and unresponsive because it is filled with all sorts of unnecessary data. To create more room on your device, here are 5 tips on how to gain more space on your Android device.










1. Uninstall unused apps Apps are tempting to download because it boosts interest, enhances engagement and ensures ease of access to services. There is every tendency that you may download any apps you find on Google Play store. To free up space, remove the unnecessary apps as well as the one you are not using. In addition, you should always read reviews before you download any apps. 

2. Transfer photos and videos You cannot delete your photos, videos, and songs due to lack of space. You can transfer them to your personal computer or swap your memory card for a new one. Do not forget to backup using cloud services like DropBox, OneNote, etc.

3. Remove bloatware Bloatware is unwanted software that is included in a computer or mobile device by the phone manufacturer. These pre-installed apps can be very annoying because you cannot remove them except you root your phone.



4. Root your phone Rooting your phone should be the last option if you want to gain more space because it has its advantages and disadvantages. Rooting your phone will remove unwanted apps and give you automatic access to Android updates. Thus, providing much-needed space.

5. Clear cache When you browse the internet, it leaves unwanted waste called cache on your phone. The more you browse, the more the waste accumulate. So, it is important to always clear your cache. You can gain space depending on when you clear the cache.


We haven’t washed our clothes by hand for decades, but somehow, the wonders of the technology age haven’t saved us from the drudgery of manually folding them. Luckily though, those days will soon be behind us, at least for those who are willing to spend a week’s salary in order to never fold another shirt. American company FoldiMate has unveiled a three-foot-high robot that will take in crumpled shirts, tops and trousers and spew out neatly folded and steamed garments.
The machine, expected to cost between $700 and $850 (£490-£600) has a row of trays, each one of which a piece of clothing can be clipped on to. Once pulled inside the machine, the FoldiMate senses the type of garment and a series of robot arms is used to fold it into place.
It can also de-wrinkle items by steaming them as they exit the machine. The company says it takes around 10 seconds to fold each item and can hold between 15 and 20 pieces of clothing at a time. At the end of the process, they are released from the machine in a neat pile.

 Some pieces of clothing can’t be folded with the machine, including underwear and large items such as linen. Although the concept is simple, Foldimate has been developing the machine with a team of experienced roboticists for years.
