    • Many reasons may result into why your device battery drain fast but first of all, reduce your screen brightness. By default it is set to adjust according to your sorrounding.

      Also, go to Settings > Battery. If you find apps on this screen that are using up more battery than they should be, close them by tapping Force stop.

      It over heat because of the processor which is 1Ghz and I believe you opened different apps at thesame time. Just close any app you are not using,or when you are done using an app, close it completely.

      Use another Android charger to test how fast it will charge that device

  3. I can't root my infinix zero 16+2gb after upgrading it to lollipop using sp flashtool
    I've tried several methods(iroot,kingroot, how to root any mtk device post you made sometime ago) all proved abortive

    Reply
    • Hello Kenneth,
      Its pretty easy to root once you have SP Flash tool install on your PC. did you get any error message while trying to do this? Do you have the TWRP recovery and Super SU for your device? If yes, let me guide you on how to go about it.

      Reply
    • I have the super SU but no TWRP
      I got an error(can't create recovery for this device) when following d procedure on that (how to root any mtk device using flash tool) tutorial
      Pls I need your guidance to root my infinix zero 16+2 lollipop

      Reply
    • Hello Kenneth, You need Twrp for infinix zero 2 which you can download here

      You also need Super Su. Once you have this two in place, then follow thesame guide here

      Please carefully follow the guide and replace it with your own twrp and su.

    • Your BBQ10 need an upgrade. Get a PC, download BB10 Desktop manager, it will detect your device, then upgrade your OS.

      The blog template limit is over. Maybe I'll send it to your inbox.

    • Its because its due for Servicing. Back up all your apps, files and everything. Go to settings>>>Apps>>>Clear your app cache of individual apps. Rebooth your device and watch its perfomance.

    • If your Samsung is china version, then it must be an MTK device. Check to see if it's an mtk device, if it is, then change your IMEI and your 3GB will be back.

    • You might be having Ram problem or Hardisk problem. If you know where to locate your ram, carefully remove it from its board, and clean it on a white clean cloth. (not with water ooo, but a dry white cloth). Then insert it back then reboot your system.

      If it doesn't work, then you need to run Hard disk test.

  4. I try to upgrade my infinix hot note to lollipop, but the device bricked, and cannot on again, and my system will not dictate it when it is plugged tro usb. I try ever thing and it seems not to work. Please my dear Jomi prof help a friend out. Or anyone that had succeeded in such a challenge should help me out God bless.

    Reply
    • If in the process of upgrading, you mistakenly shake the cable while the upgrade is still ongoing, then it is a complete brick. Since your system doesn't detect it again, I'll suggest you locate the closest CarlCare center and they'll fix it for you.

      Reply
    • @Jomi I did not such thing, as a matter of fack i was not close to the phone and the system when the process was running. Care services is talking about months process now. I dont know what to do. Please someone should help.

    • Hello,
      Unfortunately I'm not closer to whre you are. You still best bet of fixing it is still CarlCare. Just excercise patience and give it to them to fix it bro.

  10. Good afternoon Yomi,
    I put off my TECNO M3+ last night only to wake up this morning and tried owning it but it refuses to power,after much trial and error it turned on but it only stops at that boot image.
    My pc isn't detecting the device either. 🙁

    Reply
    • Obviously your device is bricked if the only thing it displays is Android logo. However, I don't know the last application you installed before you went to bed but I'll advice you boot it into safe mode and uninstall the application. Then reboot your device again.

    • ==>From the Home screen, tap the app slider, then open “Settings“.
      Select “Data usage“.
      >>Tap the “Menu” Menu icon icon located at the upper-right corner.
      Select “Restrict background data“, then tap “OK” to turn background data off.

      For your Tecno F7, go to settings>>>app>>scroll down to google services and google play services, clear the data cache of both then reboot your device.

    • Once you upgrade it to the latest 5.1, you won't have all those problems again. I believe you are making reference to infinix hot 507. See guide on how to upgrade it to 5.1 here

    Reply
    • Hello Bolarge717,
      It appears you cache for that app is full and need to be cleared.
      First, navigate to Settings on your device.
      Go to Applications > Application manager
      Swipe left until you find the All tab.
      Scroll down to the app that's causing problems and tap on it.
      Here you will find the Clear data and Clear cache options.

      Clear cache is the option you should start with. It will get rid of saved data that allows apps to load a little quicker or stop working when you launch them.

    • Reboot the phone first.
      After the reboot, tap the phone icon to launch the app.
      Once the error pops up, tap OK and immediately tap the Phone icon again.
      Repeat the process two or three times.

    I just downloaded the updated firmware from infinixmobility.com n flash it on my phone.
    However, I can't install superuser from zip via recovery as usual even when I flash the infinix note pro recovery image.

  21. Prof, ever since I started using my android phone, it has been sending premium text messages without my permission. Both sims are sending the message. MTN charges ₦15 which is sim 1 while GLO charges ₦10 which is sim 2. I've called customer care of both network and they're not helping. Glo said the number is not showing on their side. Just a name which is USA 1. I've lost a lot of cash to this rubbish. My phone is Gionee M5. Please help.

    Note: I don't see any trace of text message in my sent message folder but I some times get a pop up message which says "last sms cost ₦15 or ₦10 and sometimes I don't get it.
