Glo free browsing @ #0.0naira with uc handler

I'm pretty sure that you guys are still flexing with Glo N0.00kb Unlimited Free Browsing tweak via QueenCee and Tweakware VPN, but I know you will like to have different alternative for unlimited free surfing.                 

Unfortunately, this new Glo tweak works only on UC Mini Handler for now, you can only browse and download with the tweak via UC Mini Handler . Note that it won't work with any other browsers/apps on your phone like Firefox, Opera Mini, Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc.

To power all other browsers/apps, use your initial Glo N0.00kb Unlimited Free Browsing tweak via QueenCee and Tweakware VPN. Kudos to Dzebb, he is the brain behind the creation of UC Mini Handler and some other Handlers.

Facts That You Should Know
  • It works only in UC mini handler web browser
  • No speed throttling 
  • It doesn't power all apps
  • It is totally free (even with N0.00kb in your Glo sim)
  • It is unlimited
Now, you can download UC Mini Handler Apk Version - Download it here 

Launch the app and configure it as below
» Proxy Type: Real Host
» Proxy Server: redirect.glo.com
» Real Proxy Type: Default or HTTP
» Real Proxy Port: 80

Save the setting and start flexing with your UC Mini Handler


If you are experiencing difficulties in downloading large files with the tweak, just use similar method we used for Airtel 100GB Tweak on Opera Mini, but this time around, we are not going to use roogen.com.

To Download Large Files With The Tweak 
Open this site with your UC Mini Handler: muchproxy.com
                                           



After that, add the site name you want to download from
Now click GO! and your download will start reading (just like that of Airtel 100GB)

NB: The website muchproxy normally renames the file you are downloading to .php format. What you should do is to change the .php extension to the format of the file you downloaded.

Enjoy it while it last.

The Use of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been banned in Nigerian aircrafts by NCAA

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has banned the use of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices on board aircraft following recent incidents and concerns raised by its manufacturers.

It warned that the phones must not be turned on or charged in the aircraft by the passengers for safety reasons.

The aviation regulatory body gave the directive in a statement signed by its General Manager, Public Relations, Mr Sam Adurogboye, which was obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday.

NCAA also directed aviation authorities not to allow the phones to be stowed away in any checked-in baggage.

“NCAA is appealing to the passengers’ responsibilities in relation to ensuring safety and security of air transportation.

“Importantly, all airlines are hereby advised to emphasise the prohibition of this devices on board during passenger briefings by the cabin crew.

“Similarly, all those responsible for searching or screening checked-in baggage are expected to intensify the procedures to identify possible checked-in Samsung Galaxy Note 7,” it said.


the device may explode in an aircraftThe NCAA reminded travellers that Samsung had recalled over 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 devices due to several reported cases of overheating and outright explosion.

According to the statement, investigation traced these problems to charging and the company is limiting battery charging on Galaxy Note 7 devices to prevent inferno.

“NCAA therefore calls on all passengers and airline operators to ensure total adherence to this directive as safety and security of air transportation is paramount to the authority,” it said.

Super Mario Run: Nintendo's mascot finally makes the jump to mobile

Nintendo will finally launch its iconic character Mario on smartphones starting with a running game for the iPhone called Super Mario Run.

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, father of Mario, took to the stage at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco alongside Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook to announce the coming game.

Cook said: “Since the launch of the App Store someone has been missing on the App Store, but I’m glad to say, he’s arrived now.”

Miyamoto said: “The magic of Mario is anyone can pick up and start playing, and now we’ve made it even easier.”

Super Mario Run is game in the vein of popular endless runners such as Subway Surfers and others. It has a two modes, a more classic Mario run-to-the-flag mode and a battle mode, where players can take on friends and others across the internet.

Miyamoto said: “You can even play it one handed, while you’re holding onto the handle on the subway, while eating a hamburger, or even an Apple.

“I want everyone around the world to enjoy Mario, and they’ll be able to enjoy it on iOS first.”

The game, marked as coming soon, will be available for a fixed price, bucking the trend for in-app purchase supported freemium games. Super Mario stickers will also be available for the new iMessage in iOS 10.

Apple and Nintendo hopes that Super Mario Run will mimic the success of other games of its ilk, as well as the recent Pokémon Go phenomenon

iPhone 7: What you need to know

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s latest iPhone may be more notable for what’s missing from previous models than what’s being added. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus unveiled Wednesday won’t have an analog headphone jack — a longtime staple in just about every consumer electronics device that can play audio.
In doing so, Apple is betting that its legions of loyal fans will embrace the shift to wireless headphones — or, if they insist on sticking with their old ways, that they won’t mind using earbuds that plug into the iPhone’s power port, or older headsets in conjunction with a new adapter.
The redesigned earbuds — with cord — will be included with the new iPhones. Also in the box: an adapter consisting of two plugs connected by a short length of cable, which will connect older headphones to the charging port.
THE WIRELESS FUTURE LOOMS
But Apple is trying to push consumers to cut the cord with their headphones and make the leap into what it envisions as a “wireless future.”
“The reason to move on is courage,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice-president of worldwide marketing. “The courage to move on and do something new that will benefit all of us.”
As part of the transition, Apple also is introducing wireless “AirPods” that will sell for $160.
Getting rid of the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack helped Apple make its new iPhone slimmer, boost its battery lifetime and add other improvements, including stereo speakers and a sharper camera. The iPhone 7 is also water resistant, a popular feature that rivals such as Samsung Electronics already have been offering.
Apple is trying to reverse its first decline in iPhone sales since the company’s late founder, Steve Jobs, unveiled the trendsetting device in 2007.
Apple sold nearly 92 million iPhones during the first six months of this year, or about 15 per cent fewer than the same period last year. Industry analysts blame the downturn on last fall’s uninspiring rollout of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, neither of which included enough compelling feature to persuade consumers to replace the phones that they already owned.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT
Now the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may be plagued by the same syndrome.
Phone advances from Apple, Samsung and other smartphone makers in recent years are becoming so run-of-the-mill that BGC analyst Colin Gillis says the industry is gradually losing its ability to dazzle consumers. That’s something Jobs was famous for whenever he showed off new products.
In a Wednesday research note, Gillis predicted that shopping for a new smartphones is becoming “like buying a microwave — something people do, but not a major event.” He believes Apple’s iPhone sales could decline by 5 per cent during the next year.
If that happens, it will be bad news for Apple, the world’s most valuable company. It relies on the iPhone for two-thirds of its revenue, partly because the company hasn’t been able to come up with another breakthrough innovation under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook, Jobs’ hand-picked successor.
Investors weren’t very enthused about what they saw Wednesday. Apple’s stock shed 29 cents to $107.41 in late afternoon trading. The shares are stuck slightly below their value a year ago when the last iPhone came out.
BETTER CAMERA, FASTER PROCESSOR
Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster is among the industry analysts predicting more dramatic changes to the iPhone next fall to herald the 10-year anniversary of the first model.
The most significant upgrades to this year’s models include a faster processor and a better camera, upgrades that Apple typically makes every year. The more expensive and larger iPhone 7 Plus boasts the biggest change, with two digital camera lenses. One will be for wide-angle views and the other will have telephoto capabilities, which Apple says will zoom in by up to 10 times while still providing the same clarity as a shot on the standard distance setting.
The new iPhones will debut Sept. 16 in the U.S., China and more than two dozen other countries. Orders will start this Friday.
The phones will offer more storage than earlier models. As people store more photos and video on their phones, Apple is taking a cue from rival phone makers and offering its starter model with 32 gigabytes of storage. It’s still priced at $650 for the iPhone 7 and $770 for the larger Plus model.
OTHER UPDATES
Those who aren’t getting a new iPhone will still see improvements with a new mobile operating system called iOS 10. It will be available as free download beginning Sept. 13. Among other things, the software will add more intelligence to Apple services like Maps, Photos, the iPhone keyboard and Siri, the voice-activated digital assistant.
The company also used Wednesday’s showcase to introduce a new generation of its smartwatches, which will include GPS tracking and enough water resistance to swim with, part of its effort to boost sales in its newest product line.
The Apple Watch has been the only major new product released during Cook’s reign, and sales of the device so far have been lukewarm. The company hasn’t disclosed sales figures for the Internet-connected watch, but research firm IDC estimates that Apple shipped 1.6 million watches in the April-June quarter, less half the 3.6 million a year earlier.
The original model is getting a price cut, to $270, and will get a faster processor. Series 2 will start at $370. The updates are coming Sept. 16. Existing watches can get new software on Sept. 13.
The Apple Watch will get a popular new app later this year too. Niantic Labs, the maker of the cultural sensation Pokemon Go, announced Tuesday that the game will be released for the watch, building upon the apps that it already has designed for the iPhone and Android devices.

Galaxy Note 7 recall could cost Samsung a ‘heartbreaking’ $1 billion

The Galaxy Note 7's launch took a turn for the worse last week.

Samsung’s most successful smartphone launch quickly turned into its most miserable last week when it announced a worldwide recall of the Galaxy Note 7. The South Korean company has now confirmed that the move will cost a “heartbreaking amount” of money.
Samsung shipped a whopping 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 handsets since the device made its official debut just two weeks ago, and now it is offering to replace every single one of them following reports that some handsets are exploding while charging.
It has since been confirmed that there have been 35 cases of this problem worldwide. Although Samsung maintains only a small number of devices are at risk, there’s no way to tell which ones are unsafe, so customers have been invited to claim a replacement.
According to estimates compiled by Bloomberg, the recall could cost Samsung as much as $1 billion. Samsung won’t confirm this figure, but Koh Dong Jin, head of the company’s smartphone business, revealed it would be a “heartbreaking amount.”
The recall couldn’t have come at a more devastating time for Samsung. The Galaxy Note 7 launched to rave reviews from the tech press, and it was selling incredibly well — far exceeding Samsung’s original sales predictions — ahead of the iPhone 7 launch this month.
Not some Galaxy Note 7 adopters will be keeping a close eye on what Apple has up its sleeve before deciding whether they really want to wait for a new Note to arrive.
While $1 billion might be a significant sum of cash, it represents less than 5 percent of Samsung’s projected net income of 23 trillion won ($20.6 billion) for 2016. It will put a dent in the company’s bottom line, then, but the sting probably won’t last too long.
Many believe Samsung has eliminated any long-term fallout by dealing with this problem quickly. Rather than simply ignoring it, the recall shows the company’s commitment to quality, according to “industry observers” cited by The Korea Herald.
