Best Data Plan For Heavy Internet Downloads

Whilst most of us are anxiously waiting to download the hot new episode of the Blockbuster TvShow Game of Thrones, I thought it'll be prudent to brief y'all on the latest available data plans for heavy online downloads. Different plans are available for different networks. However, you can opt-in for which ever suits you the most.

Airtel Unlimited Night Plan : This is personally my favorite among the available plans. Its is fast with no speed throttle and you can download as much as 5GB files within an hour. All however, depends on the network speed in your area. The plan only works between 12am-6am everyday.
Subscribe dial

• *481*1# (N100) For 1hours plan
• *481*2# (N200) For 3hours plan
• *481*3# (N500) For 6hours plan

Etisalat Weekly Social Me : This plan offers unlimited data for a day,week and month. If you have a stable etisalat network in your place this will work just fine. Subscribe to any of the plans preferably the weekly social me, using tweakware or Psiphon connect and enjoy your download experience.
To Subscribe dial

• *342*1*1# For a day chat pack - N100
• *342*2*1# For a week(7 days) Social Pack - N300
• *343*6*11# For a month chat pack - N500

After Subscribing launch your Psiphon and set this:
Proxy type : Real Host  
Proxy server : de.blackberry.com
Real  Proxy Type : Default
Save and connect

Glo 6GB For 1500 Naira : Don't be surprised, this plan involves a little trick. As we all know Glo Bis works fine on android. This plan involves topping the Glo bus monthly plan with Glo weekend plan. So you top-up N1000 on your line and subscribe for Month Bis plan by dialing *777*21# of which 3GB will be allocated to you. Soon after load N500 and subscribe for Glo weekend Plan by dialing *777# and follow the prompt. Then again 3GB data will be given to you. All together making 6GB at N1500. Change your APN to glosecure and connect. Better still you can just opt-in for the weekend plan only.

MTN daily Unlimited data: This plan provides unlimited access to the net for 24 hours at N150. However, few users are eligible. To check if you're eligible dial *567*59# and reply the prompt with 1 to activate.

5 Common Myths About Smartphone Batteries

The ultimate need to keep our smartphones running at all times has manifest in a number of ways. Smartphone users hunt for different measures to keep their batteries healthier and durable. A number of these "battery saving practices" are just mare misconceptions and misinformations (All na wash) which most people consider. Here are five of the most prevalent smartphone battery myths :

1. Don't use your phone while charging : Most people believe that using your phone while charging might cause your phone to implode or end up electrocuting you. Well this is not remotely true, except if you're using it in a bathtub or of course if your charger is Aba made. Charging your phone and using it at the same time has no effect on battery quality. However, it can slow the rate at which your phone get fully juiced because the longer you screen is on the more power it'll consume.
2. Let your battery run down completely before charging : This was applicable to old age batteries which are the Nickel Cadmium or Nickel-metal hydride batteries. These batteries used to be foolish. They tend to forget their full capacity hence can no longer charge 100% again. Most Modern smartphones however, use lithium-ion batteries which works entirely different from the old batteries. In fact, complete battery depletion before charging is believed to reduce battery durability. Most batteries have finite number of charging cycles and as it continuously increases battery efficiency is reducing. As your battery drains to 0% more charging cycles results. It is better advisable to keep your battery charged at all times in contrast to complete depletion.
3. Leaving your phone on charger overnight damages the battery : This is probably the most common. As it is believed overcharging reduces the battery's ability to hold charge. This is true for ancient lithium-ion batteries that could overheat or even explode if charged for too long. Modern phones however, are called smartphones for a reason. They're intelligent enough to detect or recognize when the battery is fully charged thereby limiting the power reaching the battery. In fact, most smartphones undergo trickle charge that improves battery health. Leaving your device to charge overnight is not as detrimental as they say. This however,doesn't guarantee you leave your device connected to the power source in excess of 12 hours. Some other factors might arise such as the battery overheating and this coupled with a poor battery casing might cause your battery to explode. It is more recommended to maintain battery juice between 40% - 80%.
4. Use only original charger to charge your phone : Although the use of official original charger if highly recommended, brand-off or third party chargers works just fine. However there's an exception to super-cheap crappy chargers which can lead to battery damage. A Licensed third party charger is just fine as long as it charges you device. Although it might take a longer time to fill up your battery.
5. Task Managers or App killers conserve phone battery : Most often, you'll find a lot of people opting-in for task managers to help preserve smartphone battery. But in the actual sense these apps only results to more battery depletion.App killers tend to arbitrarily destroy applications running in background taking it out of the phone's RAM. Most of these apps are required for the phone to function normally. So as soon as they're closed, they'll have to load to the phone's memory all over again. This frequent loading and unloading puts extra stress on the device leading to more power consumption than if you just left it alone.
