I'm pretty sure that some people like me are still flexing with Glo Jollifi8 Data Bonus, but it is frustrating to browse very well and download with this data bonus during the peak period, due to the issue of frequent disconnection on Glo Jollific8 network.

For you to enjoying your browsing and have a successful downloading experience, you need to follow the instruction below.

For Android and iOS users, try the following tricks:

  • Change your Internet profile APN settings to “gloflat” if you are on “glosecure”. (This doesn’t offer much but it is worth your consideration.
  • Another way is to download with a good download manager on your smartphone. Such a download manager must support download resume. An example of a trusted download manager is ADM (Advanced Download Manager).
  • Finally, make sure you download only at night when you will not be using your phone for other things. Possibly overnight.

For PC users, try the following tricks:
1. Change your Internet profile APN settings to “gloflat” if you are on “glosecure”. (This doesn’t offer much but it is worth your consideration.

2. Also, you need a dedicated software to make the work simpler. ReConnect does that job pretty well.
The amazing part of this software is that it is only 200 kb approximately and its portable, so no-nonsense installation needed. But it provides almost all the features you need from such a small weighed app.

  • Download ReConnect software from - Here
  • It is in .zip format, simply extract the ReConnect.exe to your desktop
  • Double click to open it
  • Tap Setting. Don't mind the name in the "Dial mode". It will automatically detect the name on your modem.
  • Under "Connection setting" tick "Auto reconnect".
  • Under"Startup settings". If you like, you may tick "Start with Windows and "Connect on start up"
  • Finally, click OK to save the setting and tap on "connect" to tie the software with your internet connection.

3. Another way is to download with a good download manager on your computers. Such a download manager must support download resume. An example of a trusted download manager is IDM (Internet download manager) for windows and Folx for Mac.

Finally, make sure you download only at night when you will not be using your phone for other things. Possibly overnight.

Note:
On the issue of 51MB or 100MB being received instead of 5GB or 10GB on Glo Jollific8 Bonus.
It is so unfortunate that Glo has scaled down the volume of the bonus data given to old/existing customers who opt-in to GLO Jollific8. Instead of 5GB, you now receive 51MB + 25MB. Also, instead of 10GB, you get 100MB + 25MB. If you newly buy your sim card, I was told you can still get either the 5GB or 10GB.

Smartphones have become a major part of everyone's lifestyle. During the rainy season, a lot of people damage their smartphones as the rain drops sometimes find its way into smartphones through the open ports. The rain/water can be seen as a threat towards keeping your phone in a perfect condition.

Water and moisture are the killer of electronics. So we must use our smartphone very cautiously during the rainy season. Because, if water gets inside and you continue to use your phone then it will result in a permanent damage to its internal circuitry whose repair might burn in a hole in your pocket.

If you are not using a water resistant smartphone, it is very important to know how to protect your smartphone during the rainy season. Take a look at the 10 tips that we have compiled to help you protect your smartphone from water damage.

1. Get a Waterproof Case
A waterproof cover provides the ultimate protection so you can use your phone without any worries. While looking for new covers, look for a waterproof cover that encloses the ports as well.

It can be as cheap as $3 and if you’re in Nigeria, you can get it for as low as N1,500, available on Jumia Nigeria and Konga.

2. Use Zip Lock Pouches
If you haven't purchased a waterproof case for your smartphone, and you need to save your phone from the rain, you can use a zip lock pouch or bag. This is an ideal way to save your phone from getting damaged due to water, but ensure to lock the pouch carefully.

3. A Plastic Bag is a Life Saver
If you don't find a case or zip lock pouch, you can wrap your phone in a plastic bag that is lying around. It is better to keep a plastic bag handy in your bag all the time.


4. You Can Make a Balloon Case Too
You can buy a balloon from a nearby shop and use it a case to protect your phone from the rain water. Inflate the balloon and put your smartphone in it with the screen facing down and deflate it. That's it!

5. Don’t Use The Phone Unnecessarily
Most smartphone users are in constant habit of checking their smartphones after every few minutes for no reason at all. This increases the risk of getting your phone wet or even dropping in the flood.

6. Use A Headset
Touching your phone with wet hands is always an issue. If you must use receive a call on your smartphone, use a Bluetooth/Wireless Headsets to keep your smartphone protected from rain drops.

7. Always Carry a Hand Towel with You
If your smartphone gets wet accidentally, you can use the hand towel to wipe the water. Alternatively, you can also wrap the phone in the hand towel and put it in your bag to reduce the risk of water damage.

8. Carry a Spare Handset to Avoid Damage
During the rainy season, you can use an old phone or a basic handset to attend calls with the call forwarding option. This will keep your precious smartphone intact without any damage.

In Case the Phone Gets Wet:

9. Don't Charge the Phone
When you charge a wet phone, it might result in a short-circuit. This will fry the internal circuit and the connections on the main board and it might eventually damage the phone.

10. Use a Bowl of Uncooked Rice
As soon as your phone gets wet, immediately power it off, wipe and drain excess water, remove the battery, SIM/SD card and store it in a bowl or sack of uncooked rice. Leave it in the bowl or sack of rice for a couple of days so as to draw the moisture out completely. The method has been tested several times and confirmed working for the matter of contention.

If you are unsure whether your phone has become completely dry or not, then it would be best if you take it to a qualified engineer or customer-care center for a detailed water-lodgement inspection and making necessary repairs.

DStv to End Its Mobile TV Service on October 31

MultiChoice has announced that it will break off its DStv Mobile TV service after 31st of October, 2018.

DStv Mobile TV has been existing since 2010 and it used DVB-H technology, allowing users to access DStv on their phone, laptop, or tablet via a Drifta mobile decoder.

The decoder received a DVB-H signal and converted it into a Wi-Fi signal for smart devices to access.

The service was N1,260  per month. DStv Premium customers received one Mobile subscription for free, with additional subscriptions charged at N1,260 per month each.

Over the last few years, technology has evolved as broadband access continues to grow. It’s not feasible to continue to maintain a separate land-based, dedicated network for this service alone, when an even better service can be offered to our customers on DStv Now via the Internet and Wi-Fi,” said MultiChoice.
As you can see DStv Now App is the main reason why Multichoice is ending its DStv mobile service. Drifta mobile decoder receives a DVB-H signal and converted it into a Wi-Fi signal for smart devices to access, but DStv Now does that over internet and Wi-Fi connectivity.

RecommendedMultiChoice Unveils DStv Now, New Apps for Big Screen Viewing

MultiChoice told customers who currently have a Mobile subscription that it has already started to switch off certain transmitters. This will impact reception for certain users.

As a result, users will not be charged their subscription fee from 1 September 2018. Decoder insurance on Mobile devices will also be canceled.

DStv Now is what is in vogue these days, so you don't need Drifta mobile decoder anymore.

Airtel has just unveiled another data package available on SmartConnect for prepaid customers. This new data plan is the same thing as the old double data offer which was only open to eligible users, while the new #AirtelSmartConnect#smallmoneyBIGDATA is open to new Airtel customers only.

The package was tagged with hashtag #smallmoneyBIGDATA on their official Twitter handle, and it's still being advertised on different television channels and other sources. That obviously shows how authentic the package is.

This is just another repackaged Airtel double data offer. If you want extra data to be added to your data purchases, it's highly recommended you opt-in to the package. You can get 100% extra data and eight times your recharge value with Airtel Smartconnect.

By its nature,
  • N500 gives you 1.5GB data, instead of 750MB.
  • N1,000 gives you 3GB data, instead of 1.5GB.
  • N1,500 gives you 7GB data, instead of 3.5GB.
  • N2,500 gives you 11GB data, instead of 5.5GB.
To Activate Airtel #SmallMoneyBigData

  • After registering the sim, you will be automatically migrated to the Airtel smartCONNECT tariff plan
  • Insert the SIM into your phone and dial *141# to purchase data bundles in order to get extra data benefit.
NB: It's not necessarily for a new SIM alone but also for those that have not migrated to another plan since they purchased the line. To check your Tariff plan if it's on SMART CONNECT, dial *121#, select 3 then select 5. You will see your tariff plan.

However, old or existing subscribers on the network can also dial *144# to check if they are eligible to activate any double data.

To check your data bundle
The Airtel "Small Money Big Data" package data bundle can be checked by dialing *140# USSD code, just the normal way you check your normal or regular data plans.

Also, this revamped tariff plan offers family and friends bonus each time you recharge. To register your F&F, simply dial *311*2*AirtelNumber#, while you can dial *311*3*AirtelNumber# to remove a particular number.

The Windows10 October 2018 Update is Now Available, Comes with Loads of Amazing Features

$

Microsoft has announced that the Windows 10 October 2018 update is now available. The company made the announcement yesterday 2nd of October, at a small press event in New York, though it’s obviously no surprise that Microsoft decided to roll out the October update in the month that gave it its name.

The new update is the sixth major update to come to the OS, following the November Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update, Fall Creators Update, and the April 2018 Update.

The latest version of Microsoft’s global operating system comes with loads of new features, including your phone app, a new snipping experience, a dark theme for File Explorer, a cloud-powered clipboard, and new web sign-in and fast sign-in.

The most interesting of these is probably the new “Your Phone” app, which allows you to text from your PC using an Android phone that also runs Microsoft’s mobile companion app. In later iterations, that app will also sync notifications to your desktop, but for now, that’s not an option. There also are tools for continuing your workflow as you switch from your phone to PC (or vice versa). These features work for iOS users, too.
As far as syncing between devices goes, it’s worth noting that the update also will allow you to share your clipboard between PCs.

Since everybody likes a dark mode these days, the Windows 10 File Explorer now also includes a dark theme. There’s also a revamped search experience, as well as a new screenshot tool.

While the release includes plenty of other tweaks, both in terms of functionality and design, the most anticipated feature, Sets, didn’t make it into this release. Sets are probably the biggest change to the overall Windows user experience since the release of Windows 10, so maybe it’s no surprise that Microsoft is trying to perfect this. And perfection takes a while.

The Windows 10 October 2018 Update will be rolling out through Windows Update next Tuesday. Until then it’s available through direct download. You might be lucky and be offered the update if you manually trigger Windows Update this week.

To Download Large Files (Above 15MB) With Airtel Social Bundle

  • Switch ON your data and browse through the file you want to download, in the download page, tap and hold the download link, and Select open in new tab, but don’t visit the new tab you created
  • Once you click open in new tab, quickly hit reload And wait for the page to be reloading, before the page finishes reloading, the other tab you opened will pop up your download options, asking you to either save or cancel, don’t rush, I mean don’t be in a haste to click save (if you do that you will obstruct the trick), wait for the page to finish reloading so when it's done loading

I think Digital Satellite Television (DStv) need to roll back its Subscription Fees and comes up with incredible offers before it is too late since it keeps losing its premium subscribers.

MultiChoice South Africa disclosed in June that it had lost many DStv Premium subscribers during the past financial year due to increased competition from Netflix.

According to a report from Mybroadband, DStv Premium subscribers across the pay-TV operator’s markets in Africa have been declining for the past three years.

Naspers’ annual results for the year ended 31 March 2018 showed that DStv lost 41,000 Premium subscribers.

2016/2017, they lost 135,000 DStv Premium subscribers.
Between April 2015  – March 2016 they lost 255,000 premium subscribers.

However, Its overall subscriber base continues to grow, but most of this growth comes from lower-end subscribers.

The graph below shows, from March 2015 subscriber numbers started to drop – and continued to do so into 2018.

Despite all of this, MultiChoice plans on removing Sony Entertainment, channel 127 and Sony Max, channel 128 from DStv channel list.

Effect of October 31st, 2018, GOtv Max subscribers will also lose out on Sony Max but they will get new stations in replacement which are BET and Select Sport 5.

Nigeria’s leading digital satellite TV provider has announced a fantastic benefits package for its GOtv Plus subscribers to marks its seventh year anniversary.

GOtv Open Week will start from October 19th to October 26th, 2018. Customers on GOtv Plus bouquet will be treated to a special offering of a week-long access to over 65 channels on GOtv MAX bouquet.

GOtv Plus subscribers will be treated to GOtv MAX’s wide variety of sports and entertainment content such as La Liga on SS Select 4, Fox Entertainment, Sony MAX, CBS Reality and more during the open week period.

All these come just before the El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, La Liga’s top game, on October 28, and will be broadcast live exclusively on GOtv MAX.

Speaking on the anniversary and open week activities, Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said:
We are glad to celebrate this milestone with our customers, who have always been the core of our business. This celebration is indeed a testimony to our commitment to put our customers at the heart of everything we do.

About GOtv Nigeria
Ibadan, Oyo State. October 11, 2011. The importance of the location and date may have slipped from consciousness, but the occasion was one that announced a sea change in the Nigerian broadcast industry. It was the launch of GOtv, the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) service provider, in the country. Why Ibadan? The Oyo State capital had, in 1959, given the country and indeed, the African continent, its first television station in the shape of the Western Nigeria Television (WNTV).

It was, thus, a case of television-in its most modern incarnation- coming home. GOtv’s promise at birth was simple: to provide “a low cost-digital television service, offering the greatest selection of local channels, made in Africa for Africans as well as the best international channel”.

Shelaf Outlook
Now that they have the antagonist and as a result of losing its premium subscribers. It seems MultiChoice just remembered the promise made over 6 years ago and has started working toward giving us quality television contents at pocket-friendly prices.

A new channel is coming to GOtv; Select 5 (ch 36).
Select 5 will be the home of Serie A. The channel goes live on 18 October 2018.
This means those who pay for GOtv Plus will also have access to Select 5 (ch 36) during the GOtv open week anniversary (between 19-26 October).

GOtv has four bouquets;
GOtv MAX for N3200 monthly with over 69 channels.
GOtv Plus bouquet which goes for N1900 monthly with over 64 channels.
GOtv Value for N1350 with over 43 channels and
GOtv Lite for N400 with 24 channels.

The hardware (Decoder + GOtenna + One Month's GOtv Max Subscription) sold for N6,900.

A screen recorder serves the dual purpose of recording audio as well as video content. No matter if you're a coder who creates codes for YouTube videos or an entrepreneur who prepares presentations and visuals for your clients, the thought of "Only if I had recorded that!" would have surely crossed your mind.

With the best screen recording software like the one from Movavi, you can take your message across to your audience. You can record tutorials the easy way, and its 2-in-1 video functionalities mean that you could even edit the recorded screen videos as you want.  Whether it be capturing online videos, the games you play or even recording programming activity, the recorder makes it all seem really easy.

Most of the screen recorders available on the internet are user-friendly and have a great user interface, to begin with.

The 7 Ways Using a Screen Recorder Can Help You
Here are certain ways a screen recorder could make your life much simpler -

1. Record content for future use
Think the statistics mentioned in the online presentation won't stay with you for long? Or a particular Skype call will help you crack your dream interview? A screen recorder records all the above information in real time, making future reference a cake-walk for you.

2. Showcase your product effectively
If you are a person who looks after the Sale of your firm and needs a perfect method to get your message across to your prospects, then a screen recorder will do just that. It helps to enhance the user interface as the prospect gets a first-hand experience of your product - making it stand out among the rest!

3. Past references
If the current design of your product is just not up to the mark and you miss the old design but you somehow managed to record the entire procedure of creating the old design with your screen recorder, then you are in safe hands. This will help you to refer from your past work and work on creating a product, suitable to the needs and the requirements of the customers.

4. Educational Purposes
One of the top ways for which one can use a screen recorder is to record a video to spread knowledge on a particular topic, you are passionate about. Let us take an example of a person who is interested in Digital Artwork. This person can create tutorials on several digital artwork platforms and upload them on the internet for those who want to learn the same skill. This will not only help the person to hone their skill, but also provide education to those who may not have access to such facilities.

5. Customer Support
I know of a certain Information Technology company that provides customer support with the help of screen recording. All you need to do is mention the problem faced by you on the company's website by sharing a small clipping of the issue or the technical glitch. Voila! Your issue will be solved in no time.

6. Creating better Personal Relations
PR personnel of companies may use screen recorders to create livelier and visually appealing descriptions of their products for Media Houses to generate greater positive publicity for their firm. Needless to say, better the PR, better will be the sales for the firm. Even for firms who are just starting out, or for those people who manage their businesses from home itself, a simple act of screen recording the functioning of your product creates a great impact in the minds of the target audience, thus attracting them towards your product.

7. Creating a video library
One can easily save online streaming videos with the help of a screen recorder. You come across a video you feel will be of some use to use in the future? You save the same in your video library. So the next time you are in need of some help, you know where to look for it.

You can also tell a story realistically.

Have always wanted to present and produce your story to the World but didn't have the right medium to do so? A screen recorder will sort it out for you. Create content you are passionate about replete with the required audio and visual effects and watch the World go gaga over your efforts.

There are several screen recording apps available on the internet, some providing extremely advanced features, while some with basic functionalities, one can make do with at the beginner's level. You need to carefully go through the functionalities mentioned and choose what serves you best. It's time one fully understands the use of a screen recorder and utilizes its full potential.
