Hello people, I guess the weekend is getting saltier … by now you all must have gotten your BVN number and I know a lot of people that will be struggling to save it in their diary or phone number should in case the need be.
I’m just going to show you the easiest way to check your BVNnumber anytime, anyday, anywhere without struggle, without internet … right on your Nokia touch light.
To know your BVN number, dial *565*0# on the GSM line you used in registering at the bank for BVN verification and wait for some sec for your BVN number to appear.
Note
It currently work for Airtel, MTN and Etisalat for now.
It attracted a fee of 10naira only
The newly timely based data plan allow you to do everything online, it comes with 1024MB (1GB) for just N100. It’s specifically meant for weekend meaning if you subscribe today Sunday, it expires next week Sunday 11:59PM (usable only during weekends)
I’d tried and it works just fine on all devices without any restriction.
How Can I Subscribe?
=>Load N100 on your airtel sim and dial *474*1#.... Your data will be activated
To check your data balance, dial *140#
1. Download and install ES File Explorer app here on your device. Don’t move it to SD card. (make sure it is install in your internal storage)
2. Open the app and tap the menu button
3. Now tap on ‘Tools’ and select ‘Root Explorer’ to turn it on.
4. Superuser will ask you to grant privilege or root privileges to the app. Allow it.
5. Now go back to the main screen of the app and select ‘/’ in the top corner of the screen.
6. Go to system -> bin. Find the busybox and su file and delete them. If you can’t find any of them, just skip to the next step.
7. Go back to system folder then open ‘xbin’ folder and delete the busybox and su file there (if you found any).
8. Now go back to the system folder again and open ‘app’ folder and then delete the supeuser.apk file located in the folder. That’s all.
9. Now restart your device and it should be unrooted.
Now that you have been fully unroot, you can continue with your upgrade. ☺☺
The Infinix Hot 2 is one of the most impressive budget devices we’ve seen in Nigeria for the year 2015. Why so? The phone is an Android One device. This simply means that Google partnered with Infinix to make the phone. Hence, users of this device will receive the latest Android updates as they come, directly from Google.
That asides, looking at the spec vs price angle, there are few devices that come close. After going through various complaints from people and threads in Nairaland, I’ve decided to compile the most common issues with the phone and proffer solutions for them.
Before we proceed, Here are things you should know:
The Infinix Hot 2 runs stock Android. This is very different from what you see on the regular Android devices you’ve used or seen before. This phone runs raw Android – just the way founding fathers made it to be – without any extra customization. You should have this at the back of your mind.
You need to set up your Gmail account before using this phone. You can’t do much on this phone if you don’t do that immediately after purchase. Simply login (if you already have an account) or create a new one.
Now back to the common problems and their solutions.
Problem 1: I can’t see a file manger
After signing in with your Gmail account, the first thing you need to do is run to Google Play Store, and download a file manager. Es File Explorer is highly recommended.
Problem 2: I can’t use a custom song as ringtone
When you notice you can’t set a song as ringtone, then next thing is, use your ES File Explorer, navigate to the song you want, and set that as your ringtone.
Problem 3: I can’t find any gallery
The Infinix Hot 2 actually has a gallery app called Google Photos. Though, I’ll admit, the app looks weird and different from what we’re used to. To fix the problem, run along to Google Play Store and download Quick Pic. It is a lightweight and fast gallery app. Highly recommended.
Problem 4: I can’t play videos
If you can’t find a good video player on your phone, again Quick Pic is decent. For a more rounded experience, go ahead to Google Play Store and download MX Player.
Problem 5: The phone doesn’t have HSDPA
So because the phone shows 3G on the network signal bar (instead of H+), you people have concluded the phone doesn’t have HSDPA. If you dig around Setting -> About section, you’ll clearly see where it is shown. The phone has HSDPA. However, if you need to be able to see it reflected as an icon in the status bar, you can still go farther, by rooting, install Xposed Framework and Gravity Box, then set it up to write H+ on the status bar.
Problem 6: My launcher suddenly changed to vertical scrolling.
If you notice that the launcher suddenly changed to vertical scrolling, don’t be afraid. What really happened is that you updated it. The latest update to Google Now launcher changed it from horizontal to vertical scrolling of the app drawer. So if you don’t like it, go to Google Play Store, and download Nova launcher HERE , then customize it as you please.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!
Most of the problems you experience with this phone is because you’re on a Guest Account. Yes. During initial setup most of us mistakenly put ourselves in guest account. This means the phone sees you as a guest. Hence, it restricts your use of the phone. Please make sure you are not on a guest account, if you’re on it, reset your phone to factory settings.
PLEASE DO NOT ROOT THIS PHONE!! If you do, updating becomes and issue. How to resolve the problem is explained on this article here.
I wish you a problem free Infinix Hot 2 Cheers. ☺

The android OS is one of the ingenious innovations of the 20th century because it gives tech geeks access to a quantum of application which they previously do not have the right to use.
Android is compatible with phones. It has a host of downloadable apps that are either free or paid for.
Aside from the regular chatting, calling and surfing the internet; there is much more the android phone can do which you may not be aware of. Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel Booking Portal shares some of these open-secret functions.
These functions are made possible with the aid of the amazing apps introduced by app developers.

Voice Search
One advantage of using the android phone is that you have unfettered access to all of Google services. The voice search is one of those services.
It is a voice command type of search in which the user will tell the phone whatever it wants it to search for. It is also similar to the Google search but this time, you have to use your voice instead of typing.
Manage Data Usage
Many users complain about the rate at which their data gets exhausted when using an android phone. The complaints are less today because you can now set a daily data limit usage for your data. For example, if you do not want to go beyond 50 MB, you can set it at that level. Your phone will immediately alert you if you at the set data level or it immediately turn off your data.
Share Apps
If your phone is Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled, you can share apps, photos, videos, music and documents by merely tapping it with another. However, ensure that you enable this function to make this possible.
Type by Swiping
This is another interesting function made possible by android. Users can now type by simply drawing the patterns of what they intend to type on the keyboard by using their fingers. It is more convenient and easy to use.
Sync your phone with a computer
The synchronization of your phone with a computer system has been made easy. You do this with by turning on your Bluetooth. You can listen to songs on your computer, receive calls and make calls as well.
