Blackberry Android Venice Surfaces Again With Pictures

For a couple of months now, we've heard rumors of an Android Blackberry device that's set to drop soon and we've waited earnestly for it but all we keep getting are leaks, Leaked images and Leaked specs in fact, some people have disregarded the rumors and concluded that the device is never coming.

Today, I will be showing you even more Leaked images of Blackberry Venice but this time the pictures are clearer and shows they the Blackberry Venice in all its glory.
The Blackberry Venice which is said to be running on Android OS would be powered by a 1.8 GHz hexacore snapdragon 808 processor, RAM of 3GB, an 18 MP camera and 5MP front-facing camera at least that's what the rumors speculate.

If you look closely at the picture above you would notice that the Sim Card Slot and the SD card slot are located at the top of the phone so I guess it will come with a non-removable battery.

If you also look at the photos above you would see that the soft keys are on the screen, just like the Infinix Hot 2 and some other Android device.

According to the images you can also tell that the Blackberry Venice would have two keyboards, one on the screen like a normal Android phone and one on the slider like most Blackberry device, I think that's the whole idea of mixing Blackberry and Android together on one device, you get Android features but the normal Blackberry features are not completely taken away.
Rumors also suggest that on first boot, you would be given an option to select which O.S you would like your Blackberry Venice to run on, whether Android Lollipop or Blackberry 10.3.

According to a twitter leak by @evleaks, The Blackberry Venice is confirmed for a November release.

After all that is said, one thing keep bothering me, Would the Blackberry Venice come with Google play store like other Android devices or would it come with Blackberry world like other Blackberry phones ?

Bear in mind that pretty much everything here are on rumors so don't forget to take it with a little bit of salt.

How To Stop Your Lumia Device From Rebooting All The Time

Earlier this week, I got an email from a reader here. He said his Lumia 840 turns off then on about three times a day, when I first saw it I thought it was weird and believed his battery was faulty or his phone had a problem that needed to be fixed. As usual, I looked into it and I found out that it really wasn't a battery problem.
The problem is present in some versions of windows 8.1 phones. It causes the phone to restart over and over.
This glitch has already been fixed and many of the Lumia phones have been corrected, but some phones are still yet to be fixed most especially the ones that have not connected to Microsoft servers.


Lumia always turning off and on

If you're one of these affected people, sit tight because Samm would be bringing an end to your problems. I would be showing you three methods that you can use to stop your Lumia Device From turning off and on.

How To Get 1GB For N500 On MTN

How To Get 1GB For N500 On MTN
Imagine how your experience with your Smartphone would be without data, it'd be really boring right?
We all need a little "megabyte" on our phones to make it fun. Even old people have things they do with data, ranging from Google searching to checking mails some even go farther and use Facebook, whatsapp and all sorts of social media. I was sitting on my own the other day, then my neighbour (an old woman) came to me and told me she wanted me to do her a favour, my mind immediately start running wild and I was wondering what kind of errand she wanted to send me and then she said "Come open Facebook for me" I've got to say, it was one of the funniest thing I've ever heard (I miss the days when the Internet was meant for just young people!) .

Samsung offering iPhone Users A Samsung Note 5 To Test for 30 Days

With the in-store sale for the Samsung Note 5 and the Samsung S6 edge+ kicking off, Samsung has launched a new promotion called the "Ultimate Test Drive". The promotion which is limited to US aimed at getting iPhone users to switch to a Galaxy Phone.

Samsung give out free phones to iPhone users


In this promotion, Samsung would be giving out a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung S6 EDGE or a Samsung S6 edge+ to iPhone users to use for 30 days completely free of charge.

To qualify for this offer, iPhone users have to create an account on Samsungpromotions.com using their apple device most preferably with Safari. After you have successfully logged onto the website, you would be asked to select your current carrier from a list of Major US cellular providers, After that you would be asked to select the phone you'd like to try out. Available phones include, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy S6 Edge+.

After you must have selected the preferred phone, you would be asked to provide some basic information like your name, Address and your contact information (they've got to know where their Phone would be staying for the next thirty days) . In the final step, you would be asked to provide your credit card details. Users that keep the phone for longer than the 30 days period would be charged the full price of the phone and those that return it in time would only be charged a $1 "processing fee".
There would be a $100 charge on your credit card if there are any damage to the phone before it's returned.

After completing the process you should have your new Galaxy Phone on its way to you.
The test-drive kit would come with the selected phone, an activated Sim card, a step-by-step guide to help you start your test drive and also a "smart switch" cable to help you transfer files from your phone to the phone being tried.

It's such a shame that this promotion is not available in Nigeria, I would have jumped on it without thinking twice, I'd really love to test-drive the new Galaxy Note 5.

During this time of great curiosity, the Internet was rife with tons upon tons of guesses of what the Android M would end up to be, one of the most prominent guesses was Milkshake (even I guessed that) the Wait is finally over, no more arguments because Google has released the official name and it's going to called Android 6.0 Marshmallow

It's become somewhat of a tradition for new Android Updates to be named after Sweets,

How To Download Paid Playstore Apps For Free Easily

Before I start this post, I want you to know that I am not happily writing it. Why? Because i do not support hacking paid apps and downloading them for free. I've got great love and respect for App developers, imagine sitting in front of a computer screen for days(even weeks) writing a bunch of codes that hardly anyone understands and the small token which you put in place as a reward for your hardwork gets hacked away, that's really bad, innit?

You must be thinking, "why do I still do it if I hate it so bad?". My reason is quite simple, i'm writing it for those that do not have the means to pay for apps, its seems hard to believe but some of us do not have a Debit card or Credit Card hence can not purchase paid apps, if you do have a credit card or debit card i would advise you to purchase paid apps legally so as to encourage developers to continue their awesome work.

Enough said i guess, now let me reluctantly continue with the post...

Google About To Switch Name To Alphabet

Google About To Switch Name To Alphabet
Google, one of the most recognised companies in the world is currently undergoing Rebranding. Google.inc would now be Alphabet.inc.

The move was announced on Google's official blog by Larry Page the CEO of Google - or should I say Alphabet?

According to the blog post, Alphabet would be an umbrella company that covers all the diverse division of Google. This breaks the current Google into several smaller companies all under Alphabet. 

Divisions of the company like Calico (a division that focuses on increasing life span) would be autonomous and have individual CEO's.

Google has been "slimmed down" to include only Internet related Services like, Google Chrome, YouTube, Advertising, Android OS and of course it's Search engine

Get Unlimited coins and keys in Subway Surfers On Android

Subway Surfers is an "Endless running" game, currently available on Android, iOS, Windows 8 and Amazon Kindle.


Tips and tricks for subway surfers


This game is a very addictive game, loved by many. At least 1 out of 15 android users has this game installed on their phone. It is very easy to play, very interesting and very Colourful!

Players of the game take on the role of "Wild" teenagers who upon being caught applying Graffiti to a railway station try to escape the Inspector and his dog. As you run you also grab gold coins and other goodies, while trying to avoid incoming trains and other obstacles.
This is an "Endless running" game it has no end, hence it ends in the eventual capture of these teenagers, but if you are surely going down why not get an unbelievable score and go down in style?

Another Monster Device From infinix?

Infinix seem to be going "all in", Releasing Flagship device after flagship device and taking the mobile market by storm!
Infinix hot note was a mega hit, reaching over 50,000 hands in week!
Infinix Zero 2 is a nice device with impressive specs but the price is quite high for the average Nigerian so it didn't reach as much hands as the Infinix hot note.
Infinix Hot also held its end, been a really nice budget phone.

Speculations suggest that they are in the kitchen again, and I smell something super cooking!
