how to avoid poor signal on your phone

Experiencing network failure in the middle of a very important call can be very infuriating. You may overlook this if it happens for the first time. However, if the poor reception and dropped calls continues, then your phone signal may probably be the problem. As usual, Jovago.com, Africa’s N^o 1 Hotel Booking Portal offer tips on how you can improve or boost a weak phone signal.

Avoid Obstructions
If you want to get a very excellent phone signal, you have to avoid obstructions like skyscrapers, Hills, mountains and trees. They actually contribute to poor signal reception. If you are located in a mountainous area, you can climb the top of the mountain. You can also trim trees.  Just look for a way to avoid these barriers.
Keep your phone away from other devices
Having gadgets around you can actually jam your signal thereby affecting your phone signal. Just step away from your laptop, and iPhone as well as switch-off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and hot spot among others. You will definitely notice an appreciable improvement in the signal.
‘Port’
If you keep experiencing poor signal and you have called your customer service provider to complain about their signal, you can ‘port’. Port in Nigeria simply means switching to another network provided while still retaining your number. For example, your signal is poor in Ogun state you can move to another more effective network provider in the state.
Signal Boosters
Signal boosters as the name implies helps boost weak phone signals. When a signal is weak the booster’s job is to boost the signal then rebroadcast it to your phone and other devices.

NECO Cautions Candidates Against Online Scammers - Education

The National Examination Council has warned
candidates sitting for its examinations against
patronising people who post requests online, asking
them to pay and get leaked answers.

NECO’s Abuja Liaison Officer, Mr. Abdul Mustapha,
who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria on
Monday in Abuja, said such online postings were from
scammers.

NAN reports that NECO organises Senior School
Certificate Examination, Basic Education Certification
Examination and National Common Entrance
Examination.

According to Mustapha, such fraudsters cheat
unsuspecting candidates, adding that whoever
patronises them is doing so at his/her peril.

“They have no access to our answers; they cannot get
our answers; they will pretend as if they have seen the
answers but it is all lies.

“Our questions appear in four types – types A to D ;
but what they present to unsuspecting candidates is
just manufactured answers without the type
specifications.

“Again, our questions stop at 50, but theirs continue
from 51 to 100; that is another proof that they have
not seen our answers.

“In one occasion, in our biology exam, the specimen
was an ear but they drew flower in their own fake
answers,” he said.

He said candidates are always shy from reporting to
NECO when they fell prey to scammers, “knowing that
they tried to cheat but ended up being cheated.”

The 2015 NECO SSCE internal examination which
commenced on May 21 will end on July 10.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HTTP AND HTTPS

Please take note of this: What is the difference between http & https? Don't know how many of us are aware of this difference, but it is worth sending to anyone that does not ..
** The main difference between http:// & https:// is, it's all about keeping u secure
**HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol The S stands for "Secure"
...If u visit a website or web page, & look at d address in d web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecured' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website.
If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you should never ever enter your Credit Card/ATM Card Number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your Credit Card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, you should NEVER enter sensitive information....such as a credit card number.

Open your device’s Settings. You can find the Settings app in your app drawer, or you can press your device’s menu button when you are on the Home screen and select Settings.
Android updates are typically only available through the device itself. There are some exceptions, such as downloading the update through Samsung Kies on your computer for Samsung devices. Updating happens automatically on Kies if there is an update available when you connect your device to your computer via USB.

3
Scroll down to “About phone”. This is located at the bottom of the Settings list. It may be labeled “About phone” or “About tablet”. Tap it to open your device’s information screen.

Sometimes mobile may hang and does not switch on, in this circumstance you have to reboot your device. In the rebooting process all the updated data is erased and your phone is switched on. To reboot phone, long press the power key + up or down sound button.

Must Read!! The Easiest Way Out For Broke (Poor) Students

The lifestyle of students across the varying campuses in Nigeria depicts a close to perfect picture of the gap between the haves and the have-nots in the country.
Students from rich homes often appear to have no worries, they look ‘cleaner’, use the latest phones, eat at the best eateries and always have money to buy all the required study materials and textbooks.
On the other hand, the broke (poor/not financially strong) students struggle through every semester especially at month ends; often not having enough cash, so they only buy study materials for courses that are ‘life-threatening’.
Now, what should be the proper response of broke students? Should broke students attempt to alter their financial state or just endure and struggle their way through school? (Have in mind that your financial condition might not change even after graduation).
From personal experience, the only way out for broke students in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions is this:
Do Something.
Students who hate being broke must stop wishing, dreaming or even praying for a better student life (in terms of their finances) while folding their arms.
Do something today to initiate change or do nothing and remain the same.
How do you ‘Do Something’?
As a student, the main reason for which you are in school is to study and not to hustle.
Therefore, you must not neglect your books in pursuit of money- this is something student-hustlers must understand. There has got to be balance.
Having said that, here is how you can ‘Do Something’ in your quest to stop being broke:
1. Start with your mindset
Winning any ‘battle’ begins in the mind.
Adapt the mindset of winners; say to yourself: “I can do anything I set my mind to do”.
Accept that your broke student-life can be fixed and that whatever you will do MUST NOT negatively affect your academics.
2. Appraise yourself and identify any skill you have – any skill at all
Do you have any skill? Can you style hair? Can you sew? Is there anything or something you know how to do?
Can you teach?
3. Monetize your skill
No one should answer ‘No’ to the last question in point number 2.
Someone who printed and made photocopies of a notice that read: “Get a Home Lesson Teacher for your Precious Kids. Call 080xxxxxxxx (his phone number)” and pasted them around the senior staff quarters.
Count 2 weeks later, he had started helping 8 primary school pupils with their assignments.
He worked 3 hours every working day at the rate of 5,000 naira per month for each child.
What will you do with an extra 8 x 5,000=40,000 naira every month?
Please note that our aim at this point is not to be as rich as Dangote but to stop being broke: to be able to buy handouts, textbooks and eat well; because we need those in order to graduate well.

Do You Know You Can Now Locate Your Lost Phone Using Google Search?

Losing your phone is a nightmare, and things get worse when you know there is hardly any way to track it down.
Well but if you are an Android user, then you are in for a pleasant surprise.
Google recently introduced a new feature which can track down any Android phone or tablet by simply using ‘Google Search’. Here’s how it works!
Step 1: Make sure you are using/share the same Google account on your PC and Android phone or tablet. (Even if you aren’t, it will prompt you once you type in ‘find my phone’ in the Google search bar.)
Step2: Now type in ‘find my phone’ in the Google Search bar.
As soon as you hit enter, Google will start locating your phone on Google Maps.
Give it a few seconds and your phone’s preciselocation will be right in front of you.
It even shows how far it is from where you are sitting.
But what if your phone is under a pillow or stuck in a bed side.
Well, for that, there’s an option called ‘Ring’ which will make your phone ring at maximum volume for over 5 minutes.
