Instagram Finally goes Beyond the Square! Now Allows You Post Portrait and Landscape Photos and videos

It was initially cool for us to be forced to only use Square cropping on Instagram. Like you must be creative and use square.


Square cropping? Not everybody bought that idea, imagine after taking that beautiful photo, I now have to think of what to crop out of the object before I post it on my Instagram, not so cool with me and you, I mean nobody likes Limitations. And because there are so many 3rd Party apps now, you'll always find 2 out 10 Instagram photos revealing wide spaces with Portrait or Landscape on the photos.

So Instagram for iOS and Android has finally  Supported and Agreed users can now use Portrait and Landscape format. All you need to do is update your Instagram App to have the new feature.



The format button found on the Left allows Portrait or Landscape photo or video, as well as the usual former Square cropping. This also applies on both photos and videos including all the filters supports this new cropping formats. We hope we enjoy this new Feature.

Unlock / Flash Huawei Modem E1550 and Others with 0 Unlock attempts left

Since inception of Unlocking Modems, truth is Not all modem Models had been successfully unlocked, unless you go buy DC Credits, and this is usually the last option after you have tried so many Methods and unlocker softwares for your various Modems by Flashing, unlock codes, etc.

ALSO READ - How to Unlock Huawei USB Modems To Make and Receive Calls

The use of Unlock Codes are quite Simple But Terrible too if all Codes you entered were Wrong And if the Codes have been Entered 10 Times which is the maximum count allowed to unlock a Modem, hence Permanently Locking the Mode, like the one I received to unlock.

I'll be showing us how to Unlock a permanently Locked HUAWEI Modem even after you exhausted all 10 Attempts with 0 Attempt left.
Worked perfectly on Huawei model E1550, even if your Model may be a Latest Model, try this to Unlock it now.

REQUIREMENTS

 - DC-Unlocker client >> DOWNLOAD HERE

- Huawei Modem Unlocker , (any 2012 version would Do But I used V5.8.1) >> DOWNLOAD IT HERE

Now, DC Unlocker could not do the work, unless I probably buy DC credits, so I combined those 2 softwares. Read on.

After installing Both Softwares,
Plug in your Huawei Modem with a foreign SIM inserted in it.

Launch DC Unlocker, and because it refused to unlock the modem we'll just use it to Detect the Correct COM- PORT of where your Modem was Plugged.
Take Note of the first Port Application, that's the right COM PORT number, mine was COM9, yours could be different.




Your Modem should remain plugged into your Computer,

Now Open the HUAWEI Modem Unlocker.
1. I tried Auto Connection the first time and severally but it Failed, so use MANUAL CONNECTION

2. Tick Auto-Calc code and Auto Unlock Modem
Note that we left the SERVICE Options Blank. Just Leave it you don't have to touch anything there

3. Enter the IMEI number of the modem, you can always find that printed somewhere in dogle or use the DC Unlocker to Search and Auto Detect, it will bring out the IMEI with other Info about the modem in its Dialog box, copy and paste the 15 digits.

4. Click Calculate.

5. Click UNLOCK


Seconds later,

Success writing NCK Code to modem
Foreign SIM in Modem Accepted, modem permanently UNLOCKED!

I had always been using DC unlocker but where DC unlocker failed this Huawei Unlocker worked for me for the First time despite the modem has 0 Attempts left and was Permanently Locked.

There are many ways and combinations we can experiment to unlock modems, this one I used worked just fine, hope it works for you too. Any Questions or additions? Tell us in the comment box.

Google about to Rebrand into a New Company called ALPHABET

This news wasn't all that catchy till I came to understand that Google may be undergoing a ReBranding soonest.

Ever since it was invented by Sergey Brin and Larry Page over 11 years ago, it had grown tremendously with so many products that have attracted Billions of users now, like the Google Maps, Chrome, Youtube, and Android.

But according to Sergey Brin, the co-founder he stated "and I wrote in the original founders letter 11 years ago, "Google is not a conventional company."
And Larry Page stated - "We do not intend to become one”.

These statements are what seem to be coming to reality with Google now.
From what we had learnt and what the future holds which they talked about at the new Site's Address: abc.xyz
G - is just, for Google, other alphabets would stand for other Powerful products that they'd want to bring forward.



The new company, Alphabet, will preside over a collection of companies, the largest of which will be Google.

What is Alphabet?

Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main internet products contained in Alphabet instead. What do we mean by far afield? Good examples are our health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing contact lens), and Calico (focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren’t very related

Larry Page had already handed-over his CEO power to Sundar Pichai, the new man who will replace Larry Page to handle control of the core search engine business as new CEO of Google

Now, Heading the new Alphabet company will be Larry Page as CEO and Sergey Brin as President.

An analyst feels the move would allow investors to assess Google’s core business more clearly while allowing Google to highlight its other assets. “It’ll give people a truer picture of the nature and specifics of Google’s core operation,” he said.

FIX - "License Invalid" on Dungeon Hunter 5 and Other Android Games

This post will show you how to Fix or bypass License Invalid on Dungeon Hunter 5 and Other Android Games very easily.
Apart from Dungeon Hunter 5, you probably downloaded a really great Android game and after installing it you got a Message Pop up saying "License Invalid".

Very annoying isn't it?

This is as a result that you need to Buy or Pay for the Game to activate the license. Most new Android Games with High Quality often require License (purchase) to Play them.

A good example is the New Dungeon Hunter 5 for Android which you can Download and Install here.

Normally, We advice you buy from the Official Google PlayStore to support the developers, and avoid such or future errors with the Games or Apps.
But if you can't purchase the game on PlayStore, you'll need to bypass the "License Invalid" stage to play them, this Fix Tweak is what I'll be walking you through today.

I'll use the "License Invalid" on Dungeon Hunter 5 to Solve the entire problem.

How to Fix "License Invalid" on Android Games

REQUIREMENTS

*Rooted Android device
*Lucky Patcher (v5.6.8 Apk by OnHax) >> DOWNLOAD HERE
*Your Installed game.

Follow the Steps Below:

1. I believe you already have installed the Game that says License Invalid, now Install the Lucky Patcher

2. Open Lucky Patcher and Scroll to the Game that says License Invalid, example : DH5,
Tap Open Menu Of Patches



3. When you click Open Menu Of Patches, Menu opens and displays


4. Now Click on REMOVE LICENSE VERIFICATION.
 



5. You get another Menu, Tick both AUTO MODE and REMOVE DEPENDENCIES




5. Give it few minutes to Process and add the Custom patches



Once Process is Complete, you can now Choose LAUNCH App to start the Game, and we are done!
It should successfully open your game now.

That is my Dungeon Hunter 5 Initalizing after fixing License Invalid...

Some Games would require Internet to Complete Installation like Dungeon Hunter 5 below.



I hope this Steps helped you Install Games with License Invalid problems. You can always leave a Comment if you have Questions.
Cheers!

Infinix Android Lollipop Beta 5.1 (Public Beta) Update is Finally Available!

Phew! Finally... For those that had been waiting. You can now Get the Android Lollipop Beta v2.0 Upgrade on your Infinix Smartphones.

This is a follow up post from this good News we published on 21st June about Android Lollipop coming to Infinix, your wait is over, they said they will make it available in August so the Infinix team had kept their word.


Some Infinix smartphones are already having this new Lollipop update.
And like we stated in that Post, Two versions of this update will be released. And perhaps more updates to fix bugs, consecutively.
The first One is this Beta version that is available now.
Then a final version of the Lollipop update will be rolled out later.


Why the Lollipop "Public Beta" on Infinix smartphones?

This Beta version is more like a Preview version which if you notice any Bug, you can easily Report the issue here for us to forward your message to them or report to their Forum so that it will be Fixed in.


Which Infinix Smartphones will get the Lollipop Beta 5.1 (Public Beta) Update?

We are sure of these models getting the Lollipop update :
3 of these above for now will get the update. Other models may have to wait.

I am quite relieved with Infinix Hot X507 getting the update, if you read this previous post, I stated the phone deserves the upgrade too, a powerful reason is that Infinix Hot is one of the Highest Selling Android smartphone in Nigeria this 2015.

Getting the Lollipop upgrade on your Infinix device:

There are 2 ways to do it, but the Via Splash tool is the only method for now. Rumors say OTA Update will be rolled out end of August or in September
.
Via OTA - To get the Lollipop 5.1 update on your Infinix, All you got to do is >> Go to your System Updates and Tap the Download Update Arrow.

Via SP FLASH TOOL - This is a manual method where you have to download the update to your PC and flash it to your smartphone.
Download the updated LOLLIPOP version Beta 2 For Infinix X507 >> Click here 
If the site asks for password use >> ab15

Although not every one knows how or enjoys this Manual method, but we'll share the procedures someday soon.

Here're few shots of the new Lollipop UI after Upgrade on Hot Note:



Which ever Infinix model you use, we advice you always check your SYSTEM UPDATES icon found in your Menu to see what update or (Over The Air) upgrade is there and perform them.

If your System is up to date, you should see the Android Lollipop on your own as well.

Lest I forget, in one of our posts someone complained He/She lost few Apps after performing an Update on Infinix Hot, hence from that experience We advice that you Backup your App data before performing updates. Data Back up can be found in your Settings.

We'll be showing us a few ways to avoid and overcome brick issues and backing up our Android data in future posts.

Meanwhile, do Enjoy the Taste of your new Lollipop
