Updated Settings for MTN Musicplus + SimpleServer (If your BIS Refuses to Work On your PC, Android or iPhones)

We don't see any of these Telecoms doing their subscribers any good by blocking out the Simple server with BBLite tweaks people had been using... or managing rather, for a long while.

Truth remains that Data bundles in NG are still not as cheap as it's meant to be, instead of 1MB for less than 1 Naira, they prefer to reap people off which not everyone can afford or won't happily keep paying for, any ways, I didn't come here to vent.
If your Simple server had stopped working with your BBLited or BIS subscriptions which we shared in latest browsing tweaks 2016 sometime time ago, then we have an update that you can use to keep moving on, the updated Settings for MTN Musicplus with SimpleServer for both PC and Android.

TO ACTIVATE THE LATEST METHOD FOR YOUR SIMPLE SERVER + MTN MUSICPLUS FOR PC and ANDROID

With this, you'll get 150mb for 15Naira, and you can always do it as many times as you want.

Use the set up below:
1. Text C to 5900
2. Reply YES when you see a msg

3. Open your Simpleserver config file replace this "web.blackberry.com"
Replace that with >>>  musicplus. mtnonline.com /touch/index. html#index-page (WITHOUT SPACE)

Now save it and launch the simple server program, connect to internet and browse with your Mozilla or Chrome using Local Host (127.0.0.1) Port :8080 As usual.

If you exhaust it, text  CANCEL7C TO 5900 And reactivate using Step 1.

 

How to Use the MTN Musicplus tweak on iPhone/iPad

• Download OPEN VPN from iTunes here 
• Download Music Plus config file here 
• Import the config file and connect

How to Use the MTN Musicplus tweak on your Android

You can simply Install and Use this With Simple Android Server Or Psiphon you can get here
Use your normal music plus settings on Netify or ProNet, Sypon Shield, OR follow the below settings -

• Tick Remove Port
• Proxy type: Real Host
• Proxy Server: musicplus.mtnonline.com/touch/index.html#index-page
• Real Proxy Type: Inject

> Select save and click on “tunnel whole device”.
> Click on the options tab

Region: All servers are working with it, but we advice you pick United states to avoid strange languages when browsing.

Select more option, And check “Connect through an HTTP” then select “Use the following settings:” then configure as.
Host address: 10.199.212.2
Port: 8080
Hit Back and hit Connect. (Thumbs up to Shelaf for sharing this)

As we earlier said, If you exhaust the allocated data, just text  CANCEL7C TO 5900 And reactivate using Step 1.

We understand that the process is a bit of stress but we have to keep it going till we find a stable tweak or till the former BBlited plans start working again.

GateKeeper Reviews and Handson - Automatically Lock & Unlock Your PC and Track Your Valuables

Hi everyone! The great guys at Untethered Labs LLC (GKchain), a startup based in the US and UK sent me a cute gadget which I'll be unboxing and giving you a hands-on review of the pretty small, yet powerful device known as GateKeeper.

So, What is GateKeeper?

Gatekeeper is portable smart electronic device used for locking and unlocking your PC (Windows and Mac) and tracking our valuables, I'll explain everything.

Initially, the usual way we lock and unlock our PC is done by typing in the passwords right? GateKeeper does way better and faster than that, once activated you don't have to press anything. It notices your Presence and automatically unlocks your PC. Wanna see how it looks? Let's quickly unbox the Gatekeeper pack.

Unboxing Gatekeeper contents:

- The Gatekeeper Remote
- a USB dongle (a wireless connector for the remote)
- Button Lithium Battery (for the remote)
- User Manual
- Holder's Strap

Getting Started - Setting up Gatekeeper for your PC (Windows/Mac)

Setting up Gatekeeper for your PC is done with only 8 SIMPLE STEPS, for Mac, Windows 7, 8 or 10.

1. Insert the Battery in the Gatekeeper key

2. Go to GateKeeper.com and Click "Download" from the Site Menu
3. Install GateKeeper Retail for your PC (Mac, Windows 7 and up)
4. Plug the connector (USB dongle)

5. Register Your GateKeeper Key
Registering your Key will give you access to all locking modes on GateKeeper.

After installing the program, it will prompt you to register, to do, place the Gatekeeper key close to the USB dongle as seen in our photo shot below:

It should tell you "GateKeeper is now connected"

6. Enter your PC credentials: Note that When choosing a password, I used same Password on Gatekeeper as the password on my PC to avoid any mix up.
Enter your PIN incase you forget your unlock password, then click OK.

8. The last stage of the set up is setting up the Distance Range you would like your GateKeeper to Work with.

When you switch it to "Near" Gatekeeper will lock your PC when you walk few inches away with the key
"Far" Gatekeeper will lock your PC when you walk far away with the key.
If you would like to lock and unlock your PC automatically, Tick - Login automatically using GateKeeper.
Gatekeeper should come in very handy for those of us who work in an open office where you share table with colleagues.

FAQs

What happens when you walk away with your Gatekeeper Key then somebody unplugs the Bluetooth dongle from your Laptop?
Nope. GateKeeper is smart, it will Automatically Lock your PC and It will remain locked till you are there to open it with the key or your password.

Tracking Your Valuables & Items with GateKeeper:

As said earlier, GateKeeper does beyond Securing your PC from intruders, you can also use your GateKeeper to track your items and valuables.

Use the setup below:
Before doing this, disconnect the USB dongle from your PC.

• Install the GateKeeper Tracking app from PlayStore
• Launch the App, Click on ADD Key. Press and Hold the Button at the side of your Gatekeeper Key, it will connect with Alarm sound.
  
  
• You can also set the App to alert you when your Key is out of range from your phone, incase they steal and want to get away with it, your gatekeeper will raise alarm.

GateKeeper sells for around $49 to $50 (₦10,000) and you can BUY IT DIRECTLY FROM THE WEBSITE.

This should be useful especially for important things we carry about, like our bags and Keys or another phone. All you have to do is clip your Gatekeeper key to that valuable.
Hope you like it.

Android N: Newly Added Feature Will Make Sharing Easier & Faster

It's really nice how Android made sharing seamless across its operating system over the years. We know on previous Android OS versions, (around 4.2 Jellybean to the recent Marshmallow 6.0), we always had been seeing the same ways of sharing Files or data, the standard "share" command and its collection of APIs allows for easily getting content sent from one app to another.

A practical example is using my Android Kitkat device when I want to Share a file, you Tap the "Share" icon and see a list of Apps you can use to share it.

Looking at my screenshot below, my device (running Android Kitkat), there are quite too many Apps on the list using that Share function, I am sure only few are relevant to me when sharing stuff.

Android N has a little feature that makes that interaction much more user-friendly now: Share apps can now be pinned to the top of the cross-app menu.
With this, even if you have installed plenty apps that have Share function, you don't have to scroll too much to find the App you want to Share to.

Pinning Share Apps: To pin share apps is also easy, simply open the Share Menu from any App (like when you're sending a file), the list of apps will come up, just press and Hold any of the apps and select "Pin".
After you Pick and Pin any app, it will stick at the Top for you to quickly use it when sharing content. To Unpin any app, long-press the app to have it removed.
