UPGRADING YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXYS4 TO LOLLIPOP

Hey guys, welcome back. It’s been a while bit it’s good to be back here. Today we are would be taking a look on how to upgrade Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 to the latest operating system, the Lollipop. I observed most people making use of the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 are still stuck on KitKat so I decided to put this up. It is the official update and you do not need to panic but you have to follow my step by step procedure as this would enable you has to not get into some few problems with your device. Like I said, it’s something I have done already, on a couple of S4s so am really sure of what I am saying.

This update has been around for some time now. If you have not gotten the update on your phone, this is basically for you, I guess the update is not yet available for the region but it is available for the phone.  

WHATSAPP CALL ON ANDROID

It’s what we have all been waiting for. That cool feature that would not allow us burn our credit on calls again. It’s called the WhatsApp Call feature.

Having tested this feature and used it, I would say it is better than some VoIPs out there.

It’s quite easy to get it activated.

Just follow the few steps stated below.

GETTING THE FEATURE ACTIVATED

·         You must have the latest version of WhatsApp running on your device. I guess we all know how to do that. 

·         Find a friend who has the feature activated to call you with it. You have to stay on the call for some seconds before it gets activated.

When I had my first call, I ended it almost immediately and as expected, it was not activated.

If you don’t have a friend to help you with the activation, you could give me a shout.

·         And that’s all.

      You would see your WhatsApp homepage like this.

     

INFINIX HOT NOTE

HI guys, we would be taking a look at another HOT thing in town. Yeah, you guessed right, the last HOT thing we talked about was the Infinix Hot and they have launched a higher version of the HOT which means, things just got HOTTER. This one is called the Infinix HOT NOTE, with better specs and better design, I would say if you got this one in your palms, then you practically have the hottest thing in town.

Grab your cup of cold coffee as things are about to really get HOT as we delve into the world of the HOT NOTE.

HUAWEI ASCEND Y600

HI guys, we would be taking a look at another Huawei budget phone today. As usual, Huawei produce jaw dropping phones and we would see where this budget smartphone does that today. It’s quite old as it has been in the market for over a year but I just decided to write on it as it is such a cool phone to have in your grasp. Grab your seat and let’s take a ride in the world of the Ascend Y600.

FACEBOOK AFTER DEATH: CHOOSE AN HEIR

Most people have always wondered what would happen to their social network accounts when they pass on. Facebook has got an answer to that. This is about what happens to your Facebook account when you move on to the other side.

The initial policy on the social network initially allows the deceased user’s family members submit a request to have their pages “memoralized,” but all that has changed now has users now have more control over their own post-mortem profiles.

This is how it works, don’t allow the thoughts of a ghost updating profiles from the other end or maybe a program posting for the deceased. Not at all.

Facebook allows the user to assign a “legacy contact” who will be given powers to decide what happens to the profile when the person moves on.

The legacy contact will be able to write a post that will be displayed at the top of the memoralized page’s timeline, respond to the user’s friend requests, and update their profile and cover photos.

This contact can also download a user’s photos posts and profile information as an archive, but like we all want, there would be restrictions, as they would not be able to post on your behalf, change your settings or view your private messages.

Also, the user can instruct Facebook to delete their accounts when they pass on.

This new feature can be done in your settings under “security”.

Currently it works only in the US and i guess it would soon be extended to other countries with other social networks taking a que from Facebook.

SAVED INSTAGRAM VIDEOS

Streaming your most loved Instagram videos over again or trying to show a friend the coolest videos or the funniest videos in vogue takes a real chunk out of our data, it’s something we all get to bear the brunt and some of us end up not streaming those videos again.

Stumbled over this while playing with my phone some days ago and am not really sure whether it’s out there or not but anyways, I love the fact that I figured it out. To cut the story short, all videos you view on Instagram using your devices (Android) are saved on them, cool right. So I would simply be telling you guys where to find and how to view these rib cracking videos over and over and over and…

WHATSAPP ON PC

WhatsApp has unveiled a new service on Wednesday giving users the option to exchange messages using a web browser.

It said the web client is an extension of our phone. The browser mirrors conversations and messages from our mobile devices which means all our messages live on our devices.

This new feature can be accessible via https://web.whatsapp.com, though currently it can only be accessed via Google Chrome browser.

To activate the service, users are prompted to scan a QR code which appears online onto their WhatsApp and you also have to have the latest WhatsApp running on your mobile device.

For this service to function, the user’s phone must remain connected to the Internet at all times and the messages will remain on the user’s phone.

Unfortunately for iPhone users, the desktop service is only accessible on Android devices.

This is a giant step taken by WhatsApp, I don’t really get the reason why the phone has to be connected to the Internet for this service to work, but this is just the first version, hope to get something better in latter versions.

So guys, what is  your take on this new development.

Does it sound great or unnecessary  (you might be wondering why you would want to chat on PC when you can do same on your phone)?

Your views please.
