Enable Hibernate Mode on Windows 8/8.1

Enable Hibernate Mode on Windows 8/8.1
Lately, i've been getting lots of calls from folks That the "Hibernate" option is disabled in the power menu in Windows 8/8.1.
The power menu doesn't show Hibernate Option. It contains Sleep, Shutdown and Restart options.

Many windows 8/8.1 users are not aware that Hibernation Option is available in windows 8/8.1 because the option is hidden (Microsoft simply disabled it).
The Hibernate Option can be added back to power menu. To get the missing hibernate option back in
Windows 8/8.1, just follow the simple steps below:

** Press Windows + W key to open the settings search menu. Then search for Power Options and select.
** At the left side, click on Choose what the power buttons do option, and a dialogue box would appear, then select Change settings that are currently unavailable option.
** Now, scroll down to the Shutdown Settings and you'll notice that "Hibernate" option is unchecked.
** Check Hibernate box, then apply Save Changes.
The hibernation mode of your system will be enabled immediately and no more hidden in your windows 8/8..
So whenever you want to hibernate your System, simply press "Alt+F4" keys together as usual and you should see Hibernate Mode in the list displayed or move the Cursor to the upper-right corner of your Windows 8/8.1 Screen on your System(or by pressing windows +C, then click on Settings => Power Option and you should see hibernation mode in the list as it show in the screenshot below:

The Journey So Far, Tecno(History in View)

Of all the phones in Africa, Tecno Phones have always held a special place in this part of the continent.
Producing quality phones at affordable prices that the common man can afford, Tecno really have made a name for themselves in the market. Its a fact that Tecno has too many models, models from A-Z as well as variations and improvements of each, it’s actually quite difficult to know which phone is best for your needs.

Tecno originally began in 2006, and despite focusing solely on the African market, their first facility was actually in Shanghai, China. From then on they’ve been going from strength to strength, competing with the likes of Infinix and Gionee and the rest.

As for the phones they make, selecting one out of the varieties available creates a number of questions like:
"How much storage space is adequate for my needs?"
"I talk a lot, which phone has the best battery life?"
"3G or4G?"
are questions we’ve all asked some time or another (as well as others).

Well, that is for you.....

Android Apps that Steals User Data Without their Consent

Wether you admit it or not, Android is not exactly the most secure platform in the world. It's easily hackable as it is customizable. Google has been working hard to make it more secure than ever but genius hackers always outsmart some Android developers. While other mobile platforms are also not safe from attacks, Android is more prone to being compromised simply because there are more Android devices ready to be exploited anywhere on this planet.
 

Unfortunately for Andrroid users, there are numerous apps that contain malicious codes and are not noticeable at first.
Most Android users don't know that some apps connect to tracking sites and ad-related sites. As a result, malware can seep inside or your personal details leaked without your knowledge or a warning. There should be no problem in avoiding this but most Android phone device owners really have no idea that something suspicious is happening.

What if there's a way to detect these annoying Android apps? Certainly, the mobile industry, or at least the Android market, will be a bit safer and more secure. Some French guys from Eurocome recently worked on a solution that would automate checking of malicious apps in Google Play. Sites the apps connect to are also checked. The result is that many apps connect outside without the knowledge of the owners.
Honestly, this information is nothing new but we now have numbers of how many apps run aside from what is asked. 
Luigi Vigneri and his colleagues have downloaded more than 2,000 free apps from the Google Play Store in all 25 categories. Using an old Samsung Galaxy S3 and Android 4.1.2 version, the group found out there are several apps who secretly contact outside websites. There's a process that records all URLs being contacted.
After getting the list of URLs, they then compared and looked for ad-related and user tracking sites already on the EasyList and Easy Privacy database. More than 250,000 URLs across 2,000 top level domains were listed. Some Android apps have been found out to connect to thousands of distinct URLs. One perfect example is the Music Volume Eq app which connected to almost 2,000 URLs. Ten percent of the apps analyzed connected to 500 URLs, some up to 800 user tracking sites, and most of these ad-related domains are run by Google.
There are less user tracking sites being contacted and about 70 percent of apps do not really connect to any user tracking site. The Eurosport Player app is found out to be the worst offender connecting to 810 sites.
To further monitor the behavior of such apps, Vigneri and company thought of developing a new app called NoSuchApp. You can call it as NSA, an acronym that also comes from the same group that fights for America's safety and security--the National Security Agency. Call this app NSA, download it, and be confident that your Android phone is safe from malicious activities.
Vigneri and his team are still working on the app but it should be ready on Google Play Store anytime soon.

Airtel 3GB for N1,400 is Strictly for Blackberry Device

Airtel 3GB for N1,400 is Strictly for Blackberry Device

Airtel Nigeria has the most affordable data bundle plans in the country with reasonable data allocation bundle which is quite lucrative compared to other network providers. Late last year, Airtel discontinued their 1+1 bundle offer that allows you get 4GB for N2, 000 and 9GB for N3, 500, Most Airtel subscribers were heartbroken when they learnt the 1+1 offer has ended. 

Thanks to the Glo overload triple data, Airtel has lost its loyal subscribers to Glo.

Glo achieved a great comeback in terms of affordable data plans by introducing the Glo overload package that not only enables you get 200% on recharge made but also triple data when you purchase any data plan more than N2, 000.

With Glo overload triple data you get: N2, 000 for 2.5GB Data N3, 000 for 4.5GB Data and much more.

I guess Airtel had realized their mistake and decided to increase blackberry complete data allocation from 1GB to 3GB for the same amount N1, 400. Just to compensate for ending the 1+1 offer.

NOTE:  Airtel exclusively made this data plan only for Blackberry devices. It doesn’t work on android or any other device. But on the long run the loop hole will be explored sooner or later to make it work on all device.

How to Subscribe for the 3GB for N1, 400

    ** Simply recharge N1, 400 on your Airtel line
    ** Dial *431# to subscribe
  It’s valid for 30 days

This time, it features a unique squad-based combat that allows the game to use his brother to have a tactical advantage. Feel free to use Mortar Fire, Rocket Blast, Molotov, and Air Strike. You can choose from among the different types of missions: Stealth, Siege, Sniper, and Assault. It's up to you which mission you'll dive into.

In this new version, you can unlock new allies or upgrade them into the best soldiers or get new experimental weapons that can be upgraded into the ultimate arsenal.

Difference Between USB 3.0 And USB 2.0 Port

Difference Between USB 3.0 And USB 2.0 Port

Most computers and high end USB compatible gadgets have been coming with USB 3.0 compatible ports but how much do you know about it? USB 3.0 has been in existence since 2009 but not until 2012 did we see start seeing its implementation. Its implementation can already be seen in devices such as transfer cables, memory card readers, display adapters and a host of others. It offers an increased guaranteed data transfer rate.

1. USB 3.0 gives you a transfer rate of 4.8 Gbps compared to a mere 480 Mbps being afforded on USB 2.0 .


2. Additional physical bus (4 wires) has been added with more space to the existing cable and connector found in USB 2.0.

3. The power management in USB 2.0 has been upped from 500mA to 900mA. This means power stricken devices can now be serially powered as USB 3.0 allows for better power efficiency.
How do I differentiate USB 3.0 from USB 2.0 ?

1. The main difference is that USB 3.0 port is always coloured blue as shown in the picture below.

 usb 2.0 and 3.0 Other factors that you can use to identify are;

2. USB 3.0 port has 9 total pins – 5 in the front and the normal 4 in the back.

3. The symbol: SS stands for “Super Speed” and this also means you have a USB 3.0 port.

GE (2.75G), which is an enhanced form of what in old phones used to be called GPRS. It has slow data rates of around 236kbps (1mbps peak speed). But actual usage speeds are often lower. Don’t expect to stream a video with E showing on your network bar, that would ridiculous to try.....

What Is 3G Network & WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)?

 

3G is the next one. It uses WCDMA signalling. The data rates here are comparable to edge but It offers better quality, better latency, lower delay, so making it more suitable for audio, video and streaming services.


Meaning of H, H+ And Their Differences
H is HSPA which stands for high speed packet access. It’s an improvement over 3G and is mix of HSDPA (downlink) and HSUPA (uplink). Major changes were done on the radio side which increased the data rates to up to 3 and 7Mbps (in theory, its more). Many Smartphone users in Nigeria will have noticed that H has replaced 3G on their phones

H+ is Evolved HSPA. HSPA was further improved into HSPA+ where new technologies like MIMO antennas were introduced which boosted the data to faster speeds of around 160Mbps downloads and around 15Mbps uploads (the data rate for H+ is generally advertised 21Mbps). H+ shows up on my network screen and although I have never experienced download speeds of greater than 1.3mbps, I find the browsing experience on H+ very satisfactory.

What Is A 4G Network? How Is It Different From 3G?4G networks have begun to appear across Europe and America, and we can expect the technology to arrive Nigeria soon. I will definitely keep you posted.

Note that if you subscribe to a 3G plan, you have subscribed to all the above network types. Your mobile phone first looks out for cells/towers which are H+ capable; if it fails it tries the lower ones. When 3G is not at all available, the mobile phone falls back to Edge.

Also, if you observe when you are in Edge, your calls and data will not work together. This is because voice and data calls use the same infrastructure in 2G whereas in 3G (or H or H+) you will be able to browse on your phone while you are on call. This is because data and voice are separated and can work distinctly in a 3G network.
