If you are a big Fan of TECNO mobile, then you should already know by now that they will launch their next flagship in Dubai on 22nd October 2017. Looking at Trends, it is expected that there will be a Phantom 8 and a Phantom 8 Plus. Yes, there will be no Tecno Phantom 7.
Tecno is probably jumping the “Phantom 7” because there has been a lot of 8’s this year, looking at the Samsung Galaxy S8, as well as the iPhone 8. It definitely makes sense to be at par with the big guys.

Tecno Spark Plus
The all-new TECNO Spark: a series of smartphones that seem to be aimed at the price-cautious. If you want a Tecno phone this year, but on a budget, The Spark Plus is what you should be looking at.
Smartphones have become one of the commonest devices. Purchasing a new phone to replace an old one is not a big deal. Because of this, mobile users treat their phones with less care. We become ignorant to certain instructions that would keep the phone safe.
However, some, unfortunately, lose their data contained in the phone, most especially in the incidence of phone crash. Deliberately, users surf sites containing viruses that could damage their phones. But as I said earlier on, it’s now easily replaceable. Let’s be more cautious and discipline to instructions guiding proper ways of using the phone. Under listed, are some of the ways of damaging your phone and its dangers.
Ways your phone could be damaged
Temperature conditions
Phones have internal systems, which have been programmed to work under certain favourable temperature differences. When the temperature of an environment or an area seems to be higher or lower it goes a very long way of putting your phone’s internal operating system in tough dangers. During very hot temperatures, don’t leave your phone inside your car, with glasses all rolled up. The heat absorbed by the phone will be unable to escape and will end up destroying the phone. At cold temperatures, phones are critically exposed to dangers, this is because the internal systematic parts are made of some specific semimetals that cannot conduct electric process at certain lower temperatures.
Unprofessional rooting of phones
It is shocking people can sit in the comfort of their homes and “try” rooting their phones. As cost-effective as it is, there are chances of losing your phone entirely. Rooting of phones differ with regards to the specific phone, one is using. You can’t gamble over chances over chances of either getting your phone rooted or damaging it entirely. That’s a bad practice. Well, others are very smart to follow guidelines of rooting their devices by the help of their manual, care must still be taken. Pure technicalities may defeat you in the process. I will, therefore, advise that you get a phone repairer or a professional person to help you out.
Overloading your phone
People are normally unconscious of the amount of space they have on their phones before adding more videos, music or files. My brother, my sister, you’re doing your phone serious harm. If you are using an Android phone, you can preferably purchase an SD card, and load most of your data on it. If you’re using an iPhone, you can preferably load some files on your computer or tablet. Compounding files on your phone could corrupt or slow down your phone. Some videos may look relatively short but its quality could render its larger size, don’t be deceived. I’m saying this because normally one will say “I’m just adding additional 3 videos, it wouldn’t cause any harm” it will. You only need to make a periodic check on your storage space. You must also get rid of some videos and tracks, you don’t need anymore.
Over Usage
I know this will be very controversial. The ideally way, is to shut down your phone once in a week, but once attention is more on “what if I miss an important call in the process? That certainly shouldn’t be the matter, because you may still end up, spoiling the phone entirely. Offing your phone once in a week will cause the internal system to cool, and relax to continue its tasks. Using your phone for a very long time without offing can cause your phone to overheat, damaging internal system gradually. Now, people use phones everywhere, very busily. In vehicles, workplaces, schools and even in church. Can you imagine? If one person uses his or her throughout the day. Even humans breakdown at a point. We need to take proper care of our devices and also know, we must shut down our phones at least once in every week.
Accessing virus-infected websites
Sometimes in the attempt of reading news, you can be redirected to an unknown site, which could harbour a set of viruses. Most people download games, tracks, videos and pull viruses along unknowingly. This is very dangerous, as compared to other dangers. If along the line you’re redirected to a site unknown please exit that site. It could be a death trap for your phone. If you’re lucky you will be notified by your system manager that “this site contains certain viruses, that could harm your phone”.That’s in some cases, not in all cases. You need to be smart and knowledgeable about the particular site you are accessing.
How To Care For Your Phone
Read manuals: Don’t see manuals as mere formalities, please read them. Manuals always contain essential pieces of information, that you won’t know.
Use Appropriate Chargers: it’s funny how we feel comfortable with things that appear usual but dangerous. Every type of charger has it installed capacity for its phone. Let’s desist from using different chargers for our phones.
Don’t Fly Your Phone, Pass It On: Is it laziness? Gracious me, people throw phones for people to catch. Stay blessed with a safe goalkeeper then, even with a safe goalkeeper, you can still shift your mouthpiece in the process. What if it falls down. Just don’t allow that to happen, humbly walk to the person and deliver. For those, who throw phones right from their door unto the bed for fun, it may be sorrow at last.
Keep Phones In Your Front Pockets: Most phone screens get crack as a result of keeping it in the back pocket. What happens is, one forgets when sitting and may easily render it cracked.
NOTE: Treating your phone with care, is discipline and cost-effective.
It’s not uncommon to see “freezing” or lagging phones after a long time of use. You get a new high-end device like the Samsung S8 or even the budget-friendly Tecno Camon CX or Infinix S2 pro. That joy that comes with owning a new phone is usually associated with downloading all the “fancy apps you have always wanted to use. You start using them and everything is in place. Bingo! Your phone is fresh, neat and fast; what else is there to worry about?
Phone freezing? Well, it may not be your phone’s fault at all.
However, some months on, your phone starts to “freeze” or lag, apps fail to open fast and your camera does not seem to process images on time. It takes more than 15 seconds to launch “normal” applications like WhatsApp. Your once very fast phone seems like it has lost its touch. The phone you were proud of is now the cause of all your frustrations. To sum it all up, let’s just say your phone has become slow!
I’m sorry to tell you that it’s normal for your Android device to lag. Yes, it happens to all devices especially when you do not “maintain them well”. However, there is some good news. You can actually ebb the effects of your ageing phone and bring it back to the “glory speed” time. In this post, we look at how you can speed up your android phone.
How to fix a freezing Android Phone / How to Speed up your Android
Delete apps you don’t use anymore
You know those apps you do not use, right? Sometimes you see an app somewhere and you get so much interested in it that you quickly download it. Soon after that, they sit quietly on your phone, mostly without any use. But we still keep them. They use resources like your CPU cycles for background services, taking up memory blocks and fragmenting your storage, and generally cluttering the place up. You need to delete them.
To delete android apps from your device:
Open Settings
Tap Apps
Tap an app
Tap UNINSTALL
Tap OK
Finally, you can say bye-bye to all those download apps. you don’t use. This will be a good way to speed up your phone.
Too many apps can lead to your phone freezing.
Clear your Phone and SD Card Memory
It’s no secret that the lesser the space on your device, the higher the tendency that it will lag.
Clear the cache
Many Android apps use stored (cached) data to give you a better user experience. Cached data can save a little time (and mobile data), but the files stored in app caches are for convenience and are not strictly necessary. If you need to clear up space on your phone quickly, the app cache is the first place you should look.
To clear cached data from all apps, go to Settings > Storage and tap Cached data to clear the caches of all the apps on your phone.
Delete your Downloads (Including WhatsApp Files)
Delete your downloads
Your Android phone has a downloads folder where everything you download — photos, videos, documents and other files — is stored. Chances are most of the files in your downloads folder are not files you downloaded for a reason and you do not need them anymore. You should be able to free up some storage space by deleting these unnecessary files.
Also, check out your downloaded content from WhatsApp. Mostly, they use up a lot of space. Try to delete all of those you don’t need.
Delete files you have downloaded from WhatsApp to prevent phone freezing.
Factory Reset
If your phone is overloaded with apps and running slow, and you tried all of the above methods but they are not working for you, then you will need to factory reset your phone. This will clear all your data and make your phone “brand new” in a way. Remember that factory reset does not affect the SD card content.
How to Factory Reset your Android Device
Tap the Settings icon from your home screen or app drawer.
Swipe up to scroll down to the bottom of the settings menu.
Tap Backup & reset.
Tap the Settings icon from your home screen or app drawer.
Swipe up to scroll down to the bottom of the settings menu.
Tap Backup & reset.
Tap Factory data reset.
Tap Reset phone.
Tap Erase everything.
The instructions to reset your phone might be slightly different depending on your device.
No one wants a slow phone
Always keep apps you need and make sure your clear your cache periodically. Have a trick on keeping your android fast? Are you going to try any of these methods? Let us know in the comment section below and don’t forget to share this with your friends
The Allied exchange Africa, in collaboration with Global Tech Solutions, has launched a platform that allows customers to transfer money from one mobile money account to another on a different network, with or without internet access. Dubbed ‘ALEXpay’, the application seeks to integrate the already existing various mobile money platforms, the traditional banking platforms and other pay networks across the country.
Pay Smarter with ALEX
What is ALEXpay?
ALEXpay is an integrated and secure avenue that facilitates unified, reliable, affordable and easily accessible mobile money transactions in Ghana and across Africa. ALEXpay has got two components; the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) and the app component. These components can be used on any mobile phone, either being a smartphone or a “yam” phone. The app can be downloaded free for all smartphone users.
Features of ALEXpay
Pay and Collect Bills
ALEXpay offers a simple and convenient way for businesses and individuals to make bill payments. One of such payments is the ever popular DSTV monthly subscription. From the comfort of your home, you can pay for this service.
Transfer Funds
A good quality of any payment platform or a platform that deals with payments and receipt is the ease of accessibility. In this regard, the service allows transfer of cash from one Mobile Money Network (say MTN) to another Mobile Money Network (like Airtel Cash) without any hustle. We have seen this before in other applications like MOVE which has been in existence for a while now.
Receive and Send money via ALEXpay on all networks in Ghana.
Top-Up Airtime
Need to top up your airtime? Well, ALEXpay is here for that too. No matter which network you register your service on, you can use the ALEX payment platform to buy any kind of credits for any network.
Integrate Bank Account
In Ghana, there is a great disconnect between Mobile Money accounts and Bank Accounts. As a result, a lot of people are unable to move money between their bank accounts and mobile money accounts. ALEXpay seems to have a workaround for this. At the time of writing this, I have not been able to test the feature.
Disburse Bulk Funds (Virtual Wallet)
Users on ALEXpay can create virtual mobile money accounts that permit inflows (deposits, transfers, credits, billings, etc.) and outflows (withdrawals, transfers, purchases, payments, etc.).
How to Subscribe to ALEXpay

The Vodafone Ekiki mi Promotion, which was launched on 15th August 2017 is a credit multiplier service by Vodafone Ghana that allows 3 people to use one recharge card 3 times at the price of one. The first individual uses the credit by dialling *134# while the next two dial *135# to load.
For a lot of people on the Vodafone X Plan and Vodafone users in general, the Ekiki mi Promotion might not be particularly useful. This is because:
The Vodafone X Plan allows you to already make calls to all your friends on Vodafone X. This means, you can not use the Ekiki mi Promotion bonus to call them.
Vodafone X bundles will have to be totally exhausted before you can use your Ekikimi bonus.
The bonus lasts less than 48 hours. The day of activating and the day after that.
This is how to activate the Vodafone Ekiki Mi Promotion
Tips to make the best use of Vodafone Ekiki Mi Promotion
Load your Vodafone Ekiki Mi on a sim that does not have Vodafone X activated on it
When you do this, your Ekiki Mi bonus is not affected in any way. You can use your bonus to browse and make calls. For a lot of people that use Vodafone Ekiki Mi, this strategy works best. You use your Ekiki mi bonus freely without any restrictions to browser and call.
Load your Vodafone Ekiki Mi in daily intervals
This is a bit tricky. When Mr A loads a credit, Mr B should top up within three (3) days of Mr A’s topping up, failure to do so renders the card invalid. The Ekiki mi bonus also lasts less than 48 hours. However, it will be useless to completely waste the bonus so you should load the bonus in intervals. Supposing you have two “10 GHS” Ekiki Mi vouchers, you can load the first one on day 1 and the second on day 2 to extend your bonus time
The Vodafone Ekiki Mi promotion was supposed to end on 13th October 2017 at 23:59:59 GM but this was extended due to high patronage of the service. Make good use of it while it lasts.
