1) Send Money in Messenger

Going out with friends want to pay them for the Dutch treat of last night. You might want to try Facebook messenger for this. You can pay directly from here.

Facebook has a new update, let’s say you are in a group chat with the people who were there at dinner last night. Click on the $ icon and it will prompt you with whether you want to send or receive money. You either select the option to pay everyone evenly or only the selected individuals.

For the first time if you are using the feature it will ask you to connect to your debit card.

How to Install Android O Public Beta on Pixel and Nexus Devices

2017-05-18T06:30:00.000-07:00

The first developer preview of Android O was released some time back and we now finally have the public beta of Android O. Google I/O 2017 brought a number of announcements and as everyone expected, there were some Android related announcements as well. Android Go for low-end and entry-level smartphones was announced and yes, the first public beta of Android O with some cool new features like notification dots, smart text select, etc. has also arrived. Like the last Android N beta releases, the Android O public beta is available for Pixel and Nexus devices only. We are talking about the Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X and Nexus Player. So, if you have got one of these devices and are willing out to try out the Android O beta, here are the steps to install Android O beta on your Nexus or Pixel device:

Note: I installed the Android O public beta on the LG Nexus 5X but the process should be identical on other supported devices. Also, while Android O beta worked fine in my short duration with it, don’t be surprised if there are a number of bugs and problem. In fact, there are a number of known issues in Google’s official release notes. The point is, I would not recommend you to install the Android O preview on your daily driver.

Installing Android O Through Android Beta Program

Getting the Android O beta on your Nexus or Pixel device is the easiest and the method I’d recommend. That’s because, once you are enrolled in the Android Beta Program, you will receive future Android O builds as OTA updates. Also, you don’t lose any data. However, if you opt out of the beta program, your device will be wiped out.
Alright then, here are the steps to install Android O beta through the Android Beta Program:
1. First, you will have to head to Android Beta Program’s official webpage to enroll your device in the beta program. Here, just make sure that you login with the same Google account that you use on your Nexus or Pixel smartphone. Once logged in, you should see your device as compatible with the program. Just click on the “Enroll device” button.

2. Then, the terms to the beta program will pop up. Just click on “Join Beta” and in a few seconds, you will get the message that “Your device is part of the Android Beta Program”.

3. Your device should then get a notification of the Android O beta update. Tap on the “Download” button to start the download process. Once the update is download, just tap “Restart now to install”.

4. Then, your device will be restarted and the Android O beta will be installed on your device. After your device restarts, your device will have Android O installed in your device.

Flash the Android O Beta Manually

Another method to install the Android O beta is by flashing the Android O system image manually. You can download factory images here and we have already detailed the steps in our article on how you can install the Android O Developer Preview. However, do keep in mind that this process wipe all your data and also, there’s no support for future OTA updates. Having said that, if you are a developer and you want to do a fresh install of Android O on your Nexus or Pixel, this is the way to go.

Ready to Try Android O on Your Nexus or Pixel Device?

Well, those are the two methods you can use to install the Android O beta on your Android device. The public beta of Android O does bring some cool features but it’s also filled with bugs and inconsistencies, so proceed with caution. So, try out Android O on your Nexus or Pixel device and do let me know your thoughts on the latest iteration of Android in the comments section below.

Their features include large memory support, Camera quality, video calling, photo editing, fast internet, full touch support, Apps and Games etc. New Android phones are snappy and quick but this changes with time and eventually users notice their devices slowing down.

Tips To Make Android Faster & Smooth.

Follow the Tips given below to speed up your android phone and make it perform like new :

1. Install Only Required Apps.

Google Play Store is full of Apps Most of these apps are very functional and the games are great. Thus, users are tempted to install many of these apps to ad more and more features on their phones. But, there is a huge downside to it. Installing a large number of apps slows down the device. This is due to the fact that all these apps have background services which continuously run and tend to slow the device. Hence, it is advice to install only the apps that you use the most and are must have for you.

2. Disable Screen Animation And Dynamic Wallpapers.

Another way to make android faster and increase your device performance is to disable screen animations and dynamic wallpapers. Animation and dynamic wallpapers slow down the speed of menu sliding and touch effects. If you want to install custom launchers then you should install according to your device compatibility that should not effect your processing speed. To disable animations, ether go to “Settings >> Display” or “Developer Options” on your device.

3. Never Install RAM Management Apps.

The Play Store is full of RAM management apps and junk cleaners. Most users install these apps on their phones hoping to see an increase in performance of their device. But, these apps are a nightmare and slow down the phone even further. They start background services like app lock and on screen cleaning shortcuts which consume a lot of RAM as well as processing power. Hence, we recommend you to manually clear your RAM instead of using such malicious apps and helps to make android speed faster.

4. Clear Your Apps Cache Memory.

Android devices also slow down when your phone cache memory is filled by Apps data. Cache memory contain those files and images which are required by Apps at the time of starting. Cache will improve your device speed by reducing the number of ROM memory access. Sometimes our phone cache memory is filled by Applications which are not used. So we have to clear cache memory in order to get our phone speed back. We can clear cache by settings >> storage >> cached data.

5. Free Some Space.

Most of the times, android phones slow down due to full or almost full storage space. You should always keep enough empty space in your storage so your phone can perform properly. Check your storage by heading to ” Settings >> Storage”. Delete the unused files or back them up on a cloud service like Google Photos or DropBox.

6. Remove Widgets.

No matter how good they look on your homescreen and lockscreen, Widgets consume a lot of system resources and RAM. Hence, they slow down system performance. Thus, to speed up your android device, use only the Widgets that you find most useful and get rid of others. This will also help you save battery.

7. Restart Every Morning.

One best tip to get the best performance form your android device is to start the day by a quick REBOOT. Rebooting your phone in the morning refreshes every process and kills the unnecessary ones. This helps you get smooth and fact performance from your device throughout the day without any hick ups. All Android developers also recommend doing so and helps to make android faster.

8. Update Your Phone’s Software.

Smartphone companies are constantly trying to make your Android experience better and better. Thus, they constantly fix bugs and push updates that smooth your device’s performance and make it snappy and quick. You should update your phone as soon as a software update shows up. These updates also contain Android updates and security patches released by google which are very helpful for both speed and security of your device.

9. Perform A Factory Reset.

If all the above methods do not work for you, then your can try resetting your device to factory settings. This will delete everything from your device and make it like out of the box. Hence, what ever was slowing your device will be removed and it’s quick and make android faster.

Note :- Doing this will remove all your data and Apps. Hence, make sure you have proper backup of all your Data before doing a reset.

10. Removing Bloatware.

Google makes stock Android very light and fast. But manufacturers like Samsung, Mi etc load them with Apps that you can’t uninstall. For example, Your phone may have 2 browsers – chrome and your company’s browser, and even 2 music players. This makes the software heavy and laggy at times. Hence, you can disable the Apps that you don’t use but came installed on your phone out of the box. to disable unnecessary Apps, head to “Settings > Apps > All Apps” then tap on the app and hit “Disable”.

11. Install Custom ROM.

If you have an old Android mobile and the manufacturer is no longer supporting updates, and it’s speed is slow then one of the best solution to increase its speed and update it’s OS is install custom ROMs. With Custom ROMs we can add new functionalities to our old device. Installing custom ROM will lose your warranty so it on your own risk or after warranty. You can choose from a number of custom roms available for Android.

In conclusion, These are the best ways to speed up and make android faster and user experience back to that of a new device. If your have any query or question regarding this article, please share with us in comments below. We hope this simple guide helps you get the best out of your phone.

How To Share files And Documents On Google Allow

2017-03-24T12:40:00.000-07:00

According to rumors, Google set to add Stickers to Allo, but that isn't the main point here. The uplifting news now is that, Google has made it possible for users to Share files through Allo. Supported file formats are: .pdf, .doc, .apk, .zip, and .mp3. Isn't this a welcome development on Allo? Ofcourse it is.

I will quickly guide you on how you can send/share files and documents on Google Allo. It's very simple and needs no much explanation. Kindly follow me along.

HOW TO SHARE FILES AND DOCUMENTS ON GOOGLE ALLO

==> To share files on Allo, just use the new paper clip icon seen above, while you're in any Allo conversation.

==> Tapping that will take you to your device's file explorer, where you can select what you want to share. The odd thing is that you can't share Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets if you've saved them in their default format. So for now you need to either save those in Microsoft's formats, or just send people a link to the file on Google Drive.

And now let's dive into the sticker-adjacent news. Smart Smiley is rolling out in Brazilian Portuguese, so if you speak that language you will be able to take advantage of this feature that uses machine learning to help you find the right emoji faster.

Just tap the Smart Smiley icon on the compose bar and the app will instantly suggest relevant emojis and, yes, you guessed it, stickers. No new sticker packs this time around though.

You Can Now Mention & React in Facebook Messenger Chat

2017-03-24T11:38:00.000-07:00

Facebook seems not to relent on its quest to add as many features as possible. Within some few days, Reactions and Mention features will be added to Messenger globally.

With Messenger new Reactions and Mention features, you'll be able to react to any single message in a thread, and choose between seven different reactions to do so. To add a reaction you press and hold any message and then tap to select one of the following emojis that shows up: They include love, smile, wow, sad, angry, yes, and no.

NOTE:
Those last two ones (which are Yes and No) can also easily be interpreted as "like" and "dislike", respectively, given the fact that they're styled like a thumbs up and thumbs down. Isn't this cool?

While you're in a conversation, you'll see reactions to messages in the lower corner, where you get a summary of how many people reacted. Tapping on that will tell you exactly who reacted how. And when someone reacts to one of your messages, you'll get a small animation. If you don't have Messenger open, you'll get a notification telling you that someone has reacted to a message of yours.

Reactions will be available for all messages - text, stickers, videos, images, GIFs, and even other emojis. And all of this works in all conversations, be they are one on one or of the group type.

Mentions on the other hand are handy for group chats when you want to get someone's attention. Just type the "@" symbol followed by the first few letters of that person's name or nickname. You'll get a list of people that you can pick from. Then write what you want and that participant in your chat will be notified that you've mentioned him or her.

This will be achieved through a new type of notification, which lets them know that you called them out specifically.

For me, I'll say this is a nice development coming from Mark Zuck again. What's your say on these new features?

How To Prevent Your Phone From Constantly Overheating

2017-03-22T19:58:00.000-07:00

This isn’t a problem peculiar to a particular brand or a specific mobile OS. From my experience using different phones from several OEMs over the years and switching between Android and iOS, I’ve come to realize that any phone can overheat. Yes, iPhones do overheat, same with Samsung, Tecno or any other brand you can think of.

There are times when this is cause by poor software or hardware engineering. A half-baked firmware can cause this, so can you, the user. There are several reasons why a smartphone can overheat and for every case, there are things you can do.

1. Cut down the processes

If you’re running several applications at the same time, you may be putting quite a lot of work on the processor and this can make your phone overheat. Playing a graphic-intensive game while Facebook, WhatsApp and others run in the background may be putting a lot of pressure on your device’s little brain. Cut the the number of processes by launching the app switcher and getting rid of running apps you can do without at the moment. This may have a significant positive impact.

2. Don’t use while charging

While a lot of us use our devices while charging, this can actually make the temperature hit the roof. This can even potentially make your battery swell. It should be avoided.

3. Take the case off

Your phone case may be suffocating your device. If your device needs to dissipate some heat and your protective case blocks this, the temperature may go higher than normal. It is advised you remove the cover for a while if you notice an increase in temperature.

4. Turn down the brightness

Lowering your screen brightness can go along way to help with your smartphone’s insane temperature. You see, the brighter the screen, the higher your phone temperature is likely to go.

5. You might have a problematic app

There was this particular time I jailbroke my iPhone, installed a particular Cydia tweak, and overheating set in. I had to remove that particular Cydia tweak. There are times when a single app may be causing excessive overheating and battery drainage. In this case, you need to remove such apps.

6. A simple reboot works magic

Sometimes, all you need to do to reset things back to normal is a simple restart.

7. Upgrade!

When there’s an issue with a particular firmware, OEMs often issue out fixes. Bugs in your outdated operating system might be the problem. Upgrading to the latest firmware version might be of help.

Additional tips to combat phone overheating

You should already know by now that it’s wrong to leave your phone on your car’s dashboard where it gets hit by direct sunlight. You should also consider trimming the number of apps you have on your phone. Uninstall those you can live without. One more thing: always update your apps.

You Can Now Know How To Add Background Colour To Facebook Updates:

2017-02-12T18:46:00.000-08:00

Facebook text-only updates will no longer get lost in the
increasingly flashy Facebook feed, thanks to the attention-
grabbing features which Facebook has been rolling out recently.

Apart from the ‘big text’ feature that shows words in a larger
font if your status is short, Facebook has rolled out a new feature
enabling users who post text-only status updates to add
background colors to their posts, thereby making the text posts
more visual.

The feature lets users select a color that appears behind their text
status in place of the normally-white background. Users that make
use of this new feature can now easily make their updates stand
out in a way that will make people pay attention to the updates,
without having to use images or profanities.

As at the time of publishing this, only Android users of Facebook
mobile app will be able to post Facebook posts with colored
backgrounds, but everyone on iOS, Android, and web will be able
to see them in the News Feed. Hopefully, it will be rolled out on all
platforms, globally soonest.

Below are some of my Facebook updates with coloured
backgrounds :

If you want to add background colour to your Facebook update,
update your Facebook app to the latest version and create a post,
the normal way. You will see the background colours you can
select as seen in the screenshot below :

Should in case you want to know the version of Facebook app that
supports colored backgrounds, mine is Facebook for Android
version 106.0.0.26.68.
What is your take on this new feature?

Check How Etisalat Nigeria has Also joined the 4G LTE gang too.

2017-02-12T18:26:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time, nobody was talking about 4G LTE in
Nigeria. Today, the story has changed and all the telcos are
falling over themselves to provide their customers the service.

This Is What Happens When You Don’t Double Check Your Email Recipients.

2017-02-12T17:51:00.000-08:00

Most of us (Including myself) have been guilty of sending an email to the wrong recipient, just a quick slip of the finger, and suddenly you’re sending your innermost secrets to your boss instead of your best friend.
Talk about embarrassing!

What is more embarrassing is having your “accidentally sent email” published on the top international tech blogs.

That is exactly what happened to an employee at Waggener Edstrom, a PR firm that handles communications for Microsoft. He/She accidentally sent an email to Gizmodo that showed how Microsoft plans to get press coverage for its new Skype chatbots. The email thread featured a one-and-a-half page dossier on Mark Sullivan, a senior writer for Fast Company. Of course, Gizmodo and other top international blogs wasted no time publishing the email on their platforms. You can see the email below courtesy Gizmodo via TNW:

Would You Be Enabling WhatsApp’s Two-Factor Authentication?

2017-02-12T17:35:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, WhatsApp rolled out its two-factor authentication for all of its users on iOS, Android, and Windows devices across the globe. The new feature is cool because it will add an additional layer of security — the first level of security is tied to the phone number you’re registered to and now two-factor authentication adds another layer by having you create a six-digit code. There is a caveat, though.

To help you remember your passcode (and protect you, of course), WhatsApp will periodically ask you to enter your passcode — by periodically, I mean once every 7 days and there is no option to disable this.

If you are still interested, all you have to do is:

Open WhatsApp (Obviously!).
Go to ‘Settings.’
Go to ‘Account.’
Look for ‘Two-step verification.’
Tap on Enable.
On the next screen, enter the six-digit passcode.
Next, re-enter six-digit passcode.
You can also add your email address on the next screen, but this is optional.

Must-Read; How to Turn Off Android Screen with your Fingerprint Scanner

2016-12-25T01:14:00.000-08:00

Google's upcoming Pixel phones have a feature that lets you swipe down on the fingerprint scanner to open your notification shade and Quick Settings panel. It's one of those features that make you wonder why it wasn't there in the first place, since it gives you another way to interact with your device, and your fingerprint scanner isn't being used while you're screen is on anyway.Hopefully, we'll see that feature ported to other phones at some point in the future, but in the meantime, developer ztc1997 has found another awesome way to put the fingerprint scanner to use after you've unlocked your device.His latest app actually lets you turn your screen off by touching the fingerprint scanner, so it acts like a second power button to put your phone to sleep. It's a perfect solution if your regular power button is on the fritz, and even better, you can get this functionality without being rooted (though root helps a little). All you need to do beforehand is enable "Unknown sources"—then you'll be ready to get started.

Here Are Steps to Turn Off Your Android’s Screen with Your Fingerprint Scanner:

Step 1. First of all download and install up to the app named “Fingerprint to Sleep” on your android device. You can get this app just from the given link below as the app is not available in the Google Play store. So click on the link below to get up the app:

Download Fingerprint to Sleep app

XDA thread is the place where you can find up the updates for this app as it has been made by these developers only.

Step 2. At the first launch of the app on your app, you shall be prompted to enable up to the service of locking screen using the Fingerprint scanner. Just enable it from the option “Activate” and it shall get activated as soon. Now from the main menu inside the app tick mark the option “Enable fingerprint to lock” option.

Step 3. Now you would be able to lock your screen through the fingerprint scanner but the thing is that you could get up your device locked accidently with every single touch you got by mistake on the scanner. To prevent up the issue developers have added some different settings and options inside the app like “Response enrolled fingerprints only” which does up the same corresponding action.

Step 4. To prevent up the app from being closed in the background by the Android, enable up to the option Foreground service. This would make sure that the app and it’s functionality to lock screen through fingerprint scanner won’t get closed or stopped.

Step 5. There is also a root additional functions for the rooted users and there are some more advanced settings for the app that gets unlocked with the root access. Just try up the features in normal mode either but still if you wish to get up more flexibility and control over the app then you could decide to give it root permissions.

Mozilla Just Added An Extraordinary Feature To Its Browser

2016-12-25T00:14:00.000-08:00

The multi-process is a feature of Mozilla Firefox browser that promises to put the high level of performance than its main competitors. If you are regular to this application, then you may have verified that during the last years it had remained something stagnant.
Precisely, this function has been activated experimentally for some versions, and since the last update, it has reached almost to all users of the browser. We told you all the details published Mozilla about it.

A few months ago, Mozilla launched multi-process Firefox to some users. As we clarify, this new feature is gradually coming to all users who did not have extensions installed. Those users already have enjoyed a 400% response faster and a loading rate of 700% more speed when loading web pages. Undoubtedly, it is a novelty that is worth trying and has available.
Firefox multiprocessing continued to reach users with version 49, even if they had installed extensions. However, these had to meet a series of iron parameters. The thing has run its course, and Firefox 50 is enabled for users with a large number of extensions installed. Yes, they should not need to be marked as incompatible with this function by its developers.
However, this does not stop with the release of Firefox 50, the latest version available that was released in the month of November. Since Mozilla point to have a lot of work ahead to enable the multi-process feature to users with unsupported extensions. That could happen with the release of Firefox 51 if everything goes as planned. The browser will activate the multi-process feature, even though the user has extensions that are not explicitly compatible with the technology.

Parallel to the activation of multiprocessing feature, Mozilla claims to be working on capabilities of this technology to improve the response time of overall browser and navigation in particular. In particular, two new features will be addressed by the technology that we will discuss below.

The first is to get more performance with multithreaded architecture, minimizing the impact when errors occur. Channel versions Nightly begin very soon to try this novelty and Mozilla will give the opportunity to discover errors in a broader user environment.
In the second place, they will address the implementation of a sandboxing to improve the safety of multithreaded. This has already begun with the introduction of the first sandbox for Windows in Firefox 50 while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done. In future versions, Mac and Linux users will also be able to enjoy this security enhancement in the browser.

In an area where you hardly get network for browsing, i think it's not advisable leaving your sim1 and two on because this will cause a hook in your connection. Maybe you have noticed it before, a situation where you are browsing, your connection will just suddenly stop working ,you will have to switch off your data and on it again. or you will have to put your phone in flight modethen on it again before you could regain your network

This tutorial not only help you in such occasions of regaining your data connection when force is loosed, I also switch off my sim one when am browsing and someone is pestering me with phone calls cutting my connection short in will have to off the sim while i keep browsing with my other sim. This is the major reason i have different sim for making calls and browsing.

You don't need to put your android phone in flight mood because someone is disturbing with calls. if your do the not sim one and two will loose network and you won't be able to run some systems on your mobile because they required your phone must not be in flight mood before operating such systems.

Without time waste let me quickly teach you how you can switch of your sim one or two in your android phone without putting your phone in flight mood.

How To switch of your sim on android without flight mood
From your android menu select settings

The next page click on sim management

Like i said if you are in area of poor network always off one sim while you are using the other it will help get more stronger connection to when both sim is on. So when you are browsing and your connection stops just switch off both sim then switch on only the one you want to be using for browsing allow network to come after that start browsing .
