How to Install WhatsApp on Blackberry 10 Devices

For the fact that WhatsApp stopped working on your BB10 device doesn’t mean you should discard the phone. After all the main essence why BB10 exist is not because of WhatsApp. A lot of users reported  earlier today that they got this message when they try to opened their WhatsApp “You can’t send messages to this chat because WhatsApp no longer supports this phone” meaning the instant messaging app is no longer supported on BB10 devices.

But  one good thing about Blackberry 10 is the impressive feature of being able to run Android apps hence, this gives you an iota of hope that you can still use WhatsApp on your Blackberry 10 device.

I’m going to quickly guide you in easy steps how to install WhatsApp on Blackberry 10

How to Install WhatsApp on Blackberry 10 Devices

 

1. On your BB10 device go to Settings > App Manager > Installing Apps and enable installations from unknown source

2. Download the latest version of WhatsApp apk here

3. Run and install it on your device

Once the manual settings are completed, your WhatsApp will run normal without that disgusting message of not supported.

But if you still can’t fix it, then I think its time to upgrade your device…

MTN is Giving out Free 4GB of Data

Something magnificent seems to be happening this year 2017, among all telcos, MTN is the first to be dishing out whooping 4GB of data to their loyal subscribers just like that. I don’t know  if this is for everybody but definitely it is new year gift.

According to the sms they sent, “to celebrate the new year, you have been credited with 4GB Free Data Valid for 7 days to be enjoyed only on 4G enabled devices.

Dial *559*444# to check your free 4GB data.

Did you also receive yours? How I wish other networks will do the same.

WhatsApp to Introduce 'Edit' and 'Unsend' Features

Without much doubts WhatsApp Messaging app is seriously making a lot of improvements every now and then. I’m pretty sure you are all enjoying the video call features now.

Another update will soon be unleash, and I bet, you’ll love it because so many times you might have sent messages that are meant to be for your friend to someone else and you don’t know how to delete it… but with the feature coming, it will tackle it.

Latest reports suggest that WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow users to 'revoke' a sent message, edit it and send it again.

For the same, reports said WhatsApp is getting Gmail's coolest feature: Recalling sent messages.

This feature is also said to have appeared on WhatsApp beta version 2.17.1.869 on iOS.

While 'revoke' and edit is definitely a cool thing, what is more magical about the feature is that the 'recalled' message will reportedly disappear or get deleted from the recipients mobile too.

Those who have groups will find this feature handy, as you will be able to edit sent messages, delete sent messages. This is going to make a lot of sense I must say.

USB OTG Cable - 7 Important Things You Can Use it For On Android Devices

OTG is short for On The Go. USB OTG is a standard that enables devices to talk to one another. USB OTG Cable is an important tool to creates a link between your mobile phone and other computer peripherals such as USB flash drive, Mouse, Keyboard, Digital Camera, Game Pad, Card reader, External hard-drive etc.

OTG Cable can do some really clever things and many people have never heard of it. If you don't know your OTG from your OMG, let's discover what it is and why it's so great.
Below are the 7 important things which you can do with USB OTG Cable on your Android Devices 

1. Share Battery Charge Between Two Android Devices

For sharing the battery charge, all you need is a regular data/charger cable that you use to connect your smartphone to your PC and a standard USB OTG Host cable. If you do not have an OTG host cable, then you can buy them very cheap from any mobile store or from online shopping sites.

When you have everything ready, connect the USB data cable to one of the phones. Connect the USB OTG host cable to the other phone. And finally attach the two cables together. You will notice that the phone with smaller charge level has started to charge. The charging will continue until the batteries of both the phones has almost the same level of charge.

2. Super-fast Files Transfer Between Two Device

When it comes to Android files transfer, lots will choose the commonly used way, Bluetooth, NFC, USB cable and PC for example. Nonetheless, when using these methods, connection issues always occur. And transmission is quite slow. So, in today's guide, a new solution – USB OTG will be introduced.
USB OTG, empowers USB devices like Android phones to act as a host and then allows other USB device to be attached to them. You can make direct connection between two Android phones/tablets and transfer files between Android via USB OTG. By using USB OTG, Android phones plugged-in can communicate with each other without the need to be connected to a computer.

When it's come to transferring heavy files like game data and HD movies, using an OTG cable is the best way to get it done with a fastest way.

3. Connection of 3G Modem with Android Devices

People who have WiFi only tablets or without 3G support might find the need to use 3G Modem with their device to get something downloaded quickly when the broadband is too slow or down. This can be done using an Android app called PPP Widget. As the name suggests, it is a widget, not an app. It is available in the Play Store and it is free. Download it to your device from here.

4. Using an External GamePad

Playing games on a touchscreen is not the same as holding a real Gamepad or a portable console like PSP. Many game developers have finally realized that in order for their games to be successful, they have to support Android. To really win Android users over, they should also accommodate us hardcore gamers who have OTG cables with the ability to hook up controllers to our devices.
Games like Dead Trigger and Asphalt already support Gamepads, but many others are still touch only. Some will only work well with touchscreen input, like Blek, but action games like FIFA 15, Modern Combat 4 and Shadow Gun can definitely benefit from an external Gamepad.If you have a tablet, you can try connecting your Gamepad with your device using your OTG cable.

5. Connect USB Flash Drive to Your Android Device

Flash drives spent a good amount of time as the number one way to take your files with you wherever you needed to go. As some of that has changed with Android devices and cloud storage, many of us still have those USB flash drives kicking around looking for a good use. USB Flash drive is not meant for your computer alone, you can use it with your Android device as long as you have your OTG cable with you. It’s plug and play with no settings needed. Think about the possibilities: watching movies from your flash drive, moving files around, reading documents stored on USB Flash etc.

6. Connection of a Mouse to Your Android Device

When a USB mouse is connected to your Android Device using a USB OTG cable, a mouse pointer appears on the screen. Click to select and open items on the screen.

The following applies when using a USB mouse on your Android Device:

• The touch screen continues to function when a mouse is connected.
• Right-clicking performs the same action as left-clicking.
• To scroll up, down, left or right in a menu, use the mouse scroll wheel, or click and drag the screen in the direction you want to scroll.
• To change the mouse pointer speed, go to the Settings menu, touch Language & input, and then touch Pointer speed. Move the slider left or right to achieve your desired pointer speed.

7. Connection of a USB Keyboard to Your Android Device

When a USB keyboard is connected to your Android Device using a USB OTG cable, touch inside a text input area to begin using the keyboard.

The following applies when using a USB keyboard on your Android Device:

• The on-screen keyboard is hidden when a physical keyboard is connected.
• Some of the key combinations that perform actions on Windows computers also work on a tablet, in most apps. For example, you can Cut (Ctrl + X), Copy (Ctrl + C), and Paste (Ctrl + V) using your keyboard.
• To find settings options for the physical keyboard, go to the Settings menu, touch Language & input, and look in the Physical keyboard section.

Why Don't You Delete Facebook App, & Save Your Phone 20% of Battery Life?

ome of you are already aware but you find it difficult to delete; Facebook application is responsible for most of the battery drain issues you are experiencing on your mobile devices. 

Tech World Zone recently tested the Facebook appon a Nexus 6P using Metal. The results of the test showed that for an entire week, removing the Facebook app left the phone with 20% more battery life each day. In addition to fixing the battery drain issue, deleting the app and messenger could also improve the performance of an Android phone.

Either you like it or not, Facebook app will continue to run in the background even when your phone is offline thereby slowing down other applications on your device.  Some people probably left it because of quick notification, quick opening and reply to chat messages but you can always access facebook mobile site from your browser atleast. 

According to a Facebook representative, “We have heard reports of a few people encountering speed issues coming from our Android application. We are investigating this and will update you as often as possible. We are focused on keeping on enhancing these issues.”  

In other words, Facebook messenger and app, does not only drain your battery but also slow down your phone, and makes it unnecessarily hot. 

No comment was made on the battery issue, so instead of looking for what is draining your 3000mAh battery, scroll down to Facebook messenger and app, delete it and save yourself 20% battery.

Sure Way To Increase Any Android Internal Space

In one way or the other, if you are a committed Android user, you must have come across a disgusting  message telling you that you don't have enough memory on your Android while you still have a lot of spaces left unused. I know I had written different articles on How to increase your Android internal memory; but While surfing the net, I came across this easy and unique  way of  increasing your Android internal

storage space, different from what I’ve shared before and it seems interesting and much more easier. All Credit Goes to Mobility.ng for this.

Before you begin, you need this

==>A rooted Android Device

==>A file explorer with root privileges. You can download ES file explorer

If you’ve gotten all the above in place,

Do the below;

==>Navigate to Root Folder>>Click on data>>>log_other_mode as seen from the image below

==>Open the folder and delete all the file inside it. 
==>Reboot your device and go back to check your internal storage… You should now see that it has increased.

It works like charm on any Android phone getting that ridiculous annoying messages that “you are running short of memory”. Don’t let your Android be the boss cos you are the boss.

FAQ
==>Won’t it affect my phone?
Ans: it won’t affect your phone when you successfully delete that log file. It will only free your space.
